How can i upgrade to IOS5.0? I get a message saying my ipad is ineligible for the upgrade

IOS5 downloads fine through itunes on my macbook and when I connect my ipad, it asks me if i want to upgrade.
When I say yes, it backups up the ipad, extracts the software and then shows a message saying my ipad is ineligible for the upgrade.

Hey Mighty Duck x,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you need to authorize the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Authorize your computer using iTunes
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary"???

Thanks a lot, Frank. The lsregister did the trick! I am testing this on 10.8.2.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770 : I deleted the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist", and restarted the Finder, even logged off and on again; did not change anything. The file has not been recreated, so it may not be used anymore.

The direct "copy and paste" from the post did not work: I had to retype it :
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
but then it worked like a charm!
Cheers
Léonie
And btw: I turned on the "-v" option for the lsregister to see, what was going on, and saw plenty of error messages (error -10811); so I repeated the command with "sudo". After that I still saw five iPhotos. Repeating as regular user finally got rid of the redundant iPhoto entries. It looks like registering as super user may be causing this trouble.

When you try to change your county, you might see one of these messages:
You have an active iTunes Match subscription; you must cancel it before you can change stores.
You have at least one incomplete pass. Passes must be complete before you can change stores.
You have rentals that have not expired; they must expire before you can change stores.
You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.
You have one or more pending store credit refunds. You must wait a few hours for these to complete before you can change stores.
You are part of a family. You must leave the family before you change stores.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go
Then right or control click the Flash Player.plugin then click Get Info
The version number is noted there.
Assuming you are using Safari ...
Check Safari > Preferences > Security
Make sure: Enable plug-ins is enabled.
Sometimes uninstalling the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstaliing new can help > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video / audio from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer. I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again. What's up?

When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn. I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start. Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer. I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again. What's up? Am I screwed? HELP!!

What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
It will take noticeably longer than normal to start.

See this link from another similar question. It may need patience to resolve. I think Thomas Reed's suggestion is best place to start.

Sometimes when I send a Pages attachment I can't open it afterwards. I get a message saying I need a newer version of Pages to open it. I find this odd since I created the document. How can I get the attachment open?

Sometimes when I send an email with a Pages attachment it is tuned into a zip file and then I am unable to open the atttachment afterwards. I get a message saying I need a newer version of Pages in order to open the attachment. How can I get around this?

Carol,
The message saying you need a newer version indicates that you saved from a newer version and tried to open with an older version. This has nothing directly to do with whether the file was compressed and packaged in a .zip file.
If you have two versions of Pages on your computer, you must take care to note which of them you are using. You may want to delete a Dock alias to the older version and you may need to change the Finder preference for which version is set to automatically open .pages files.

Safari works great on my iMac, but not so well on my Macbook Pro since upgrading to Lion. I get a message that I am not connected to the internet when I try to open a webpage even though the wireless icon at the top of my screen shows I am connected.

Since upgrading to Lion I am having problems with Safari on my Macbook Pro. I am using wifi to access the internet and the internet works in all other application except for Safari. When I try to access a webpage most times I get a error message saying I am not connected to the internet. If I click on diagnose the problem, I get connect again to the internet through the diagnostic process and the webpage generally works. This is not a problem when wired to the internet.

Check your network settings, in particular the advanced setting "DNS Server". If it is by chance 127.0.0.1, make sure to change is and use a know DNS Server (from Google for example, or your own Router local address).

How can I install PS Elements 10 when get error message, serial number not valid

I have a new computer (PC Windows) and want to install my PS Elements 10 and Light Room 5.2. When I try to do so I get the error message that my serial number is not valid.

Thanks so much for any help you can give me.

How can I persuade my MX715 that I mean what I say: paper normally to come from the rear tray.

Yesterday, my printer decided that it would rather be fed from the cassette. I had changed nothing and since then have re-iterated umpteen times that I want it to take paper from the rear tray, both on paper source settings and properties. I use too many different types of paper and sizes to make the cassette realistic.
Help please

Is the software owned by the company or the employee? The software should have been registered under a company Adobe ID and not an employee. It sounds like that serial number is now associated with the employee's own Adobe account and not the company so essentially she owns that serial number. Your company doesn't sound too efficient when purchasing and managing their own software.
Your IT department should have had control of all software and ID's. Have you checked with them to see if they have access to that account? Is it possible the employee took the software with her when she left then installed it on her own computer? That might be why your serial number no longer works.
Adobe's tech support stinks especially if you ask a question outside of their knowledge and what they have on a script. They may as well have monkeys answering the phone. Actually monkeys are easier to understand than the reps are.
Maybe somebody else will come along with a better resolution. You should return the upgrade of CS6 and may have to either get the CC version or re-purchase the full-price CS6 while it is still available.

I could use \Firefox ok but all of a sudden i can no longer use it. I get a message saying there is a problem connecting and although i am connected to the internet and can use other browsers, i cannot use firefox. It is allowed through my firewall.

i think i may have caused this wheni inadvertently pressed upgrade when i had an internet explorer message appear.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I can't download ios7 I have a message under the software update saying I need at least 3.4gb of space, I have more than that!

Hey there,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
If the usage confirms that you have more than 3.4 GB available:
From: iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
Then I would restart the phone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If the issue persists, I would try updating through iTunes instead:

Update your device using iTunes
Ensure that you're using the latest version of iTunes.
Connect your device to your computer using the included USB cable.
After iTunes opens, select your device when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
Click "Check for Update" in the Summary pane to check for available updates.
If an update is available, iTunes prompts you to download and install the update. Do not disconnect your device until the update has finished.
