How do I download Mac OS 10.6? My computer is running 10.5.8 and says there are no software updates available. I can not download a GMAT study application without 10.6 or higher.
Can someone please help me figure out how to update my computer?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X Snow Leopard is a paid upgrade, so that's why you don't see it in Software Update.
First, check if your computer is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it's compatible, make a backup of your files and buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, insert the DVD and upgrade. After upgrading, open > Software Update to update to Mac OS X 10.6.8

My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?
It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

I updated my iphone to IOS 6 which means i also need to update my itunes. When i tried to do this it said I need to update software but when I click on software update, it searches and then says no updates available. Can anyone help me please? thankyou very much
10.5.8 is the final version of Leopard. After that you need a paid-for upgrade to Snow Leopard - if your Mac can run it:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from download, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard. -
i'm trying to access my new icloud email acct from my mac. I have OS 10.6.8 and have just completed a software update. But still not seeing how to install my icloud acct...?
You must upgrade your OSX to Lion (10.7) minimum, Mavericks (10.9) preferably.

iPhoto won't recognize my iPhone 3Gs. just says there's an "apple iPhone" instead of the device name, and says there are no files to download, but there are 62 items on my phone... what's going on? as far as I can tell I have everything up to date and it's always worked in the past.
Have you already confirmed your Mac as a trusted device? Try this:
Lauch iTunes.
Connect the Phone/iPad
When it asks you to trust it, say yes.
Now try again to import. -
I have an iphone 4s. I have an alert that there is a software update available to iOS 6. When I got to the settings tab, the "download and install" button is not highlited and I can't click on it. Below that, it says that this update requires a Wi-Fi network connection to download. So I connected my phone to my computer and tried to update throug itunes. When I clicked the update tab on itunes on my laptop, an alert pops up that says I need to be connected to the internet for th update to take place. I am confused because I am connected to the internet, but for some reason the connection is not being recognized when I try to update.
I am using a Gateway laptop and my internet connection is a verizon 4g device that I plug into a USB port. I feel like this should be so simple but have not been able to figure it out even when I called Apple and spoke to a rep...help!In order to download to your phone over the air, you need to be connected to WiFi.
It's possible the Internet connection through Verizon is not stable enough for the downlaod to begin (it is a very large download).
You might want to head over to Starbucks with your laptop for the afternoon and see if you can download it over their WiFi. -
Trying to download the new itunes but it tells me there are "No software updates"
I am attempting to download iOs6 for my iphone, and it is prompting me to first download itunes 10.6.3. However, when I click "download itunes" I am brought to the software updates window, and am prompted that there are no new updates for my computer! I have tried to do this from both the apple drop down and itunes. When I attempt to download iOs6 on my phone, I am not connected to a suitable wireless connection (yay college campuses) so I cannot do it that way either. Anyone have a solution for downloading itunes? I have restarted my computer multiple times! Thanks!
It go thru the whole install and bails at the end with this error:
" There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor ."
What does that mean exactly?

When I try and re-download some of them from the ITUNES store...I get an error that the file already exists on the computer. However, when I open Itunes. The file can not be found. This problem just started about 1 1/2 ago...prior to that did not have any problems...Help? direction?
You can move the folder to where iTunes expects to find it and that will work.
Or you can attempt to fix one broken track by looking for it when prompted when you use Get Info or attempt to play. This often works if everything is in the standard layout.
Or you can repair things with my FindTracks script.

I received a pop-up telling me that OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download/ installation, but something interrupted the process and it was not downloaded and/or installed. Now when I ask for software updates, I det the message that "no updates available." What do I do to get thei update?
If the installation didn't finish, maybe OS X 10.8.3 was installed partially, and it doesn't show up because the updater already updated the OS X version to 10.8.3, although it doesn't mean that everything was installed and updated. Just to make sure that everything is updated to the version included in 10.8.3, reinstall it with the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640

I have also gone to adobe and tried to download the latest update there, but when I load the zip file, and try to open the .exe, it just gives me an "error loading updater workflow". Help. I would like to be able to eventually use my new camera in photoshop and lightroom.
Here is the download link for Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 which is the latest for Photoshop CS5 Windows.
Also look at Help > About Photoshop to see if it is 12.0.0 or 12.0.4
Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 Update
Before you run the installer, make sure you exit Photoshop and Bridge, and be sure Bridge in not running in your system tray.

The thing is that my iPod just can't update to know that ios7 is available
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iOS 7 is compatible with the 5th generation iPod touch, and any older iPod isn't supported. As iOS 7 doesn't show up as an update, your device isn't supported -

"You can call 1 800-MY-APPLE and order it. They will then email you a redemption code that you can redeem in the App store. The price is the regular 29.99 which is a bit cheaper than the USB installer."

Your firewall or av software is screwing everything up.
Turn it off.
Straight from Apple:
Errors 3000-3999 (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an old version of iTunes is installed, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see error 1004 above), or because of your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues. Error 3014 may indicate that you need to free up more disk space on the computer before trying to restore again. Error 3194 most likely indicates you do not have the latest version of iTunes installed Update to the latest version of iTunes.

I need help updating my OS from the 10.5.8. It is causing a variety of problems in turn.
10.6 is the next OSX. It is not just an update of 10.5.
Call 1-800-MY-APPLE to order a DVD: $19 for single user license disk, $29 for s 5-user license disk. With Amazon charging much more than $19 for a songle disk license, I purchased a 5-user disk in case I need it and ONLY Amaazon is left.
