How can i get mac xo 10.5
i can not upgrade via web. And i can not down lowd from Itunes befor i upgrade to 10.5. I know its a older verson but...i need it for my Mac.
Must i bye it ???
Assuming your machine can be upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.x that would be the wise thing to do. The minimum specifications are:
System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple'sMobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
If your iMac does not meet the minimum specifications to get to 10.5.x you need to call Apple and order it, 10.5.x is no longer sold in retail. As I recall it sells for about $129.

Editting PDF documents that were created by a MAC doesn't work because of font incompatability. How can we get MAC fonts and load in our Adobe Acrobat Pro 9?
If it's a Mac font and you're on Windows, you can't. If you are also on a Mac, you'll need to purchase the fonts (fonts are generally non-transferable, like software. One of the reasons pdf exists), install them and try your edits.
But it's best to edit the original document and create a new pdf when finished. -
How can I get Mac mail to open winmail.dat attachments on lion 10.7.3
How can I get Mac mail to open letter attachments winmail.dat?? (Lion 10.7.3) Any help appreciated...
Sorry peterskine,
it's true in part. There's more then one article on the subject "Recipients receive a winmail.dat attachment":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/recipients-receive-a-winmail-dat- attachment-HA010153018.aspx?CTT=1
The odd thing is that my colleague and me use the same release mountain lion and we received the same email from someone on Outlook2007. He received the mail with the attachment, whilst I saw a "Winmail.dat". It already happened to me on snow-leopard, some month ago. Up til today I don't know what the difference between our machines is.
But it is interesting: the same OS, the same mail-clients (Apple Mail) and still different results.
Note: on my machine it used to work properly. It just suddenly happened that I started to receive winmail.dat files in stead of proper attachments.
When I have more time on hand, I cant try to find out why this happens. -
I've had a Mac Mini (late 2012) for the past week and need to do a complete reinstall to get rid of very mucked up Server.app settings that I can't get rid of even though I uninstalled Server.app and what I thought were all of its Library files. I need to get the Mac Mini back to pristine, factory default to start over. Then I'll be able to put Server.app into a VM so I can trash it if need be without mucking up the rest of my system.
I have both a bootable recovery partition on an external hard drive (My Book firewire) and a USB bootable installer with a fresh edition of Mountain Lion. I know the USB installer works just fine because I used it to do a clean install of my MacBook-Pro just last night. Went like a charm.
When I start up the Mac Mini with the option key held down, everything seems fine -- I see both the USB drive and the My Book's 2 volumes (1 for data, 1 for the Recovery partition). But when I select either the USB drive or the My Book Recovery partition as the start-up drive, I get a screen with a circle with a line across (the no-entry traffic sign), with no way to go back or forward. So the computer has to be rebooted.
Any suggestions as to how to get the Mac Mini to recognize bootable installers that MacBooks are able to see?Late 2012 Mac mini uses a special Mountain Lion version that it's only compatible with this Mac and you can only get on Internet Recovery because it's not available in the App Store. If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, press Command, Option and R keys while your computer is starting

How can i get Mac to read a certain type of file?
i will cut to the chase
i have some files from a voice recorder on a WINDOWS pc
i stick a 512 mb flash drive in the windows pc's usb slot
now i got the files on the flash drive
i stick the flash drive into the Mac Minis Usb slot
it shows the files but cannot play them
How can i convert what is in the Flash drive to a Macintosh playable file
AND should i do it while the flash drive is in the Windows or the Mac mini computer
Side note: the software for the voice recorder is windows only
the website for the PC Recorder(sony) does not have Mac Software on it
so i want (hope / need) to go voice recorder->windows pc->Flash drive->Mac and then convert the file so Mac can read/ play it.
thanks in advanceCoffeehouseSchmuck,
The simplest way is to use Switch/Swift Sound (if their site is up) or acWAVE(commercial software with a 7-day trial) - in Windows to convert the DVF files to mp3 or some other Mac-friendly format.

How can i get mac app store back when i am on Mac OS X 10.6.8
it says it's missing or incomplete how do i get it back? because i kinda deleted it by accident
Did you delete by dragging it off of the Dock? If so, open the Applications folder and drag the App Store application bundle back onto the Dock.
Or if you deleted the App Store application bundle by going into your Applications folder and deleting it there, then look in your Trash folder. If the Trash has not been emptied, you can drag the App Store bundle back to the Applications folder. Then (after you've dragged it to the Applications folder) drag the icon back onto the Dock, if you want the application in the Dock.
If you've deleted the App Store from the Applications folder and have subsequently emptied the trash, then you'll want to download the 10.6.8 Combo updater from Apple, and apply the installer to your system. That will reload all of the pieces of OS X that have been updated since 10.6. The App Store will be loaded into the Applications folder and into the Dock for you.
OS X updates come in two general formats: Delta updates, and Combo updates. Delta updates contain just changes from the previous release. The Combo updates are cumulative, and contain all changes from all of the delta updates.
Get your OS X backups going, too. Apple's Time Machine does a good job here and is both free and easy to use, though there are other options. Either Time Machine via a directly-connected disk, or (particularly nice for laptops) via a network-connected disk such as an Apple Time Capsule. (With Time Machine operating, you can also choose to restore any erroneously application bundles from the Time Machine backup, so long as the backups were running before the deletion occurred.) -
How can I get Mac Help to work?
Every time I open a folder, a big question mark appears at the top - how can I correct this?
It seems that Mac Help isn't working. After opening it, the same question mark shows in the dock's Help Viewer and when the help viewer opens, it is blank.
Thank you for any help!Try the following:
In most cases doing the following will restore the Help Viewer:
1. Trash the following three files, if extant:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
2. Trash the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder.
3. Empty the Trash and Restart. -

hi i cant downloads applications and games on my macbook and i cant find the mac app store can someone help me and tell me how can i find it or download it thx
According to your profile your Mac is running v10.5.8 Leopard.
So, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6.6 (minimum) in order to have access to the App Store.
Snow Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store so you need to contact Apple directly.

How can I get Macs and PCs to share files on same network?
I have a 2009 iMac running Mavericks and a Macbook Pro retina also on Mavericks. I also have a desktop running Windows 7 Pro and a laptop on Windows 8.1. I have a cable modem (Comcast) with multiple ethernet jacks and a WIFI modem. The Macs see each other on the network but the PCs don't always see each other and do not see the Macs. Can someone run me thru the basics on networking so I can share files? Thank you.
MarkArthur,
Thanks for the link. It is a good starting point. Part of my problem is that I do not understand file sharing protocols on the PC side. The Mac sharing "just works." I keep getting issues with permissions, or, on some days, the PC just does not show up on my finder. Let me take a look at the link and try some things and I will report back. -
How can I get Mac to print wirelessly?
I have a g5 iMac and a g4 IMac that connect to the internet via a wireless Belkin router. I have two HP printers (a laserjet and an officejet) connected with an ethernet cable to the router.
The g4 machine quickly identified both printers as "Internet printers" so I added them and was able to print wirelessly to both printers.
The g5 machine is able to print wirelessly to the officejet, but does not "see" the laserjet when I attempt to add it. I have tried everything, including setting up the printer manually by entering its IP address, and I can add the printer this way but I can't print.
What the g5 sees is both printers under "Bonjour Shared" kind, but if I select these and add them, it is unable to print (I either get a message that says "connecting to printer", which can last for hours, or I get a message indicating "Job accepted" but still nothing prints).
Before I switched Internet providers, both Macs could print wirelessly to both printers (I recently switched from a DSL provider to a cable provider, and then back to my old DSL provider).I am confused. Neither iMac of which you speak will run Mac OS X 6.4 Snow Leopard, but that is the OS you profile.
What versions of Mac OS X are these old Macs actually running? Do you think that folks who have these Macs would be a better crowd to ask for assistance than folks with architecturally different Macs? We here have Intel Macs. Most of us have Snow Leopard. You are asking for help with two old PPC Macs, neither if which can actually run Snow Leopard.
Just an idea.

How can I get Mac OS X on a CD
I would like to get a cd from Apple with the Mac OS X on it. Is it available through support? Thanks.
If you don't have your install disks you can get the 10.4 gray disks by calling AppleCare. 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need.
Or you can get OS 10.6 Snow Leopard for $29 if you have at least 1gb of RAM and a working DVD drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY -
How can I get 'Mac mail' to work with PC exchange server
My employers have just upgraded to a new Exchange server and now mail won't work on my mac. The only option I have been given is to use Outlook web access, but it is not ideal for my working needs. The sticking point is that mail wants to connect via IMAP, but the server isn't configured for this. I used to be set up as a POP3 account, but this is not longer an option with our administrators. Is there any way I can continue to use 'Mac Mail'?

How can i get Mac OS X 10.7.2?
I have a MacBook Pro and it is only 2 years old. I don't remember what OS X processing system I have but is it really that outdated already?
So I was wondering if there was a way to install or download the Mac OS X 10.7.2? (I am trying to set up iCloud)Yes there is a way to download OS X Lion 10.7.x. Lion is version 7 of OS 10 ( X ) and has had 4 updates since the original release, 10.7.0.
Now does your Mac meat the base system requirement or above the base system requirement?
If it does you first need OS X Snow Leopard. If you don't have Snow Leopard you can buy it from the Apple store (go to the main Apple website and click on Store at the top or right from this forum click on the Store Link at the top of each page). Find (search for) Snow Leopard and buy it for $29. It will be mailed/shipped to you.
Once you have that DVD install Snow Leopard on you Mac. Then use Software Update to update 10.6.3 to 10.6.8. Once that is done you will find a link to the Mac App Store (completely different then the Apple Store). Click on that, create an Apple ID, if you don't already have one, and sign in. Find OS X Lion, do a search for it, buy it for another $29 and then you can download and install it on you Mac. -

On my Mac Pro how can I get voiceover to start reading at a specific point in a document, and then continue on to the next paragraph and so on? Thank you. Ed
Welcome to the Apple family!!!!
How can I cause the VO cursor(box) show-up/start?
Press Control-Option and F5. The F5 key is located on the top row of keys 6th key over. This is a toggling "Keyboard Shortcut" for turning VoiceOver on and off.
How can I move the VO cursor to various sentences or paragraphs of an article and have it start reading ... and perhaps even continue reading on to the next paragraph(s) ... even to the end of the article?
How to read a website with VoiceOver
Step 1: Go to the Website
A quick keyboard shortcut is Command-L. This will jump you up to the address bar. Start typing where you want to go. i.e "www.thewebsite.com"
Step 2: Working with Webpage
VoiceOver will automatically start reading the website. You can pause the speech by hitting the 'Control Button'.
If VoiceOver does not being reading the webpage, then you might have to "Interact" with it. If VoiceOver say "HTML Content" then press Control-Option-Space-Down Arrow to interact with the webpage.
Use Control-Option-Right Arrow to move throught the website. This will speak "EVERYTHING" on the page.
Most website that I've found have their articles labeled as 'Heading'. You can jump from heading to heading, by pressing Control-Option-Shift-H.
If you'd like an itemized alphabetical listing of the site, press Control-Option-I
Press Control-Option-Space on the link or article you want to view.
Step 3. Reading from Top to Bottom
Once you found and clicked on the the article/link, use the same 'Heading' command, Control-Option-Shift-H to find the title.
After finding the title, press Control-Option-A will start reading from the title on.
Note: If there are any other items (ads, pictures, etc) it will read those too.
Tip: You might be able to activate a feature called the 'Reader'. The Reader isolates the article and elimanates the ads The keyboard command is Shift-Command-R. You can also find it in the Menu Bar (Command-Option-M) under the word 'View' then 'Show Reader'.
I am using a MACPro with OSX, probably Mavericks 10.9 (where would I look to see if that is the correct information?)
You can find this information under the 'Apple menu' in the Menu Bar. To access the Menu Bar, press Control-Option-M.
Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac. This will open up another window. Use Control-Option-Right Arrow until you hear 'Version'. If you purchased it brand new from Apple within the last six month, more than likely you have Mavericks.

The 'Commands Help' Voiceover Menu. Control-Option-H-H. (hit H twice) is my best friend. It's a searchable VoiceOver Menu with most of the VoiceOver command. Example: You are looking for the 'Read Current Paragraph' keyboard command. Press Control-Option-H-H and then type Paragraph. It will then bring up all the commands with the word paragraph. I believe there are three.
As from the Trackpad Commands, I've copied and pasted below from Appendix A: Commands and Gestures
