How can I update my imac g5 and I want to know how I can update it in 2014
I need to update my imac g5 but it's old so I need to know how to update it this year of 2014
The general assumption is that Apple no longer has OS 10.5 install disks. However, some people in the US have been able to get a copy by phoning the US Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE and asking for an operating system specialist, than asking for OS 10.5 install disks. Not a "sure thing" and the last ASC report of someone doing this that I've see was about 16 month ago. Still, it costs nothing to hear the word, "no," but you might get lucky.
Otherwise you are thrown into a miasma of confusing third-party offerings. Legitimate copies of old Mac OS software, especially 10.4 and 10.5 are in high demand and, as such, attract the scammers and the scalpers. I have seen legit copies of 10.5 offered for more than the market value of a used G5 iMac. Not worth it.
Try auction sites or Amazom but remember there are NO SAFE, LEGAL downloads of any Mac OS software. Some people will sell you a download license that doesn't exist. Another resource is a Mac Users group. Find one in your ara with this link:

Gray disks from another Mac model will likely not work, and a gray disk that shipped with an intel Mac definitely won't. A full retail install Leopard 10.5 disk looks like this:

My Macbook pro is syncing (I don't know how really!) with my iMac automatically and I don't know how it is.
The info it's importing is wrong. What is going on?It's syncing my iCal calenders. But it's putting different calendars information into other calendars. I look at my calendars basically color coded and the same multiple informaion is in wrong calendars. Understand?

I have a Mac OSX Version 10.4.11 and i want to know how to update software are i have itunes 8.2 i want to know how to update that as well
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

and I want to know how I can move it to another installaton of firefox (Since I will replace my HDD and delete firefox (obviosly))
All of your Firefox data is stored in the profile folder.
* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
** The ''extensions'' subfolder contains add-ons like extensions and themes (but not plug-ins; plug-ins are third-party software installed in your operating system).
** Some extensions may create data folders (e.g. /adblockplus) or files (e.g. stylish.sqlite) directly under the profile folder.
** The ''prefs.js'' file stores your preferences for Firefox and extensions. -
I just bought a macbook pro and I want to know how to restore pictures that were backed up on iCloud but then deleted from my phone. Isn't that the point of the backup so I can delete and make more space. Please help!
Log into the iCloud on your MacBook Pro and enable Photo Stream:
Then launch iPhoto and set iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences to the following:
Then check the Photo Stream section of iPhoto:
This is to confirm that the photos are still in Photo Stream. If they are they will be imported into the library.
NOTE: not all photos in an iPhone will be in the Photo Stream. PS only keeps photos in it for 30 days.
If you have the missing photos in your library put them in an album. Connect your iPhone to the Mac and open iTunes. In iTunes you can select that album in the library and sync the photos to your iPhone to get them back on the iPhone.

Hi, I live in Panama and I want to know how I can buy online the lightroom stand alone license
Hi I live in Panama and I want to know how can I buy online the lightroom stand alone license
thanksThe only contract-free iPhone 6 that is unlocked is the T-Mobile unit sold directly by Apple. That is a GSM iPhone. If the 4G/LTE bands are the same in Panama it should work. But check with your carrier to see which system they use (CDMA or GSM) and can you just purchase a nano-sim to use in the iPhone 6.

I just joined apple itunes match and I want to know if I can access my music on my wife's iPhone if she uses a different ID and password . If so how can I do this?
You would have to sign in with your account. Be aware that an iDevice or Mac or PC can only be associated with a particular iCloud/ iTunes in the Cloud account once every 90 days. So if you associate your iTunes in the cloud/Match account with her iPhone ,she will have to wait 90 days before going back to HER itunes in the cloud account.

If you don't have access to the computers to manually deauthorize them (they were sold, stolen, etc), then you have to log into your account, deauthorize all computers, and then re-authorize the machine(s) that you want to have access. This page explains how.

if i have iwork keynotes on my ipad mini and i wanted to know if i can transfer some documents that i did on my ipad mini keynotes to finish them on microsoft?
How can the iPad sync some songs if iTunes can't see the iPad?
You need to get iTunes to see the iPad:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

hi i just bought the macbook pro and i wanted to know how i can transfer all my music on itunes from my old desktop to my new macbook?
Derek's right. To explain his second point more, you can mount your old Mac's hard drive on your new one and once you've done this you can simply drag your music folder over.
You can mount various ways, if you have a router and both are on your LAN network I believe u use the Go menu in your new Mac to mount your old one.
You can also use a cable directly between the two. I did this years agonwith ethernet but I bet USB or even FireWire is possible.
Once you get your music copied over, you may need to add your music into your Mac's iTunes.
Open iTunes and then select Add to Library and then find your music folder to add. You can add single songs or folders of songs or your entire folder of all songs. -
I changed the card and i want to know how make to change the data from itunes. I tried and doesn't work. Please, Help Me!
No. That's not what I said. You can get an out of warranty replacement, which will be exactly the same model, color, and will be locked in exactly the same way the original is. If you want an iPhone 5, get the 4S replaced, sell it, and use the money to put toward a new phone.

I have a new MacBook Pro with Lion installed and I want to know if I can partition the HD so that I can install & run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.8?
Most likely won't run SL unless it's one that was released before Lion went public. Color SL gone from new Macs.
