How do I download OS 10.6.7 to an external drive?  For some reason I get an error message when I try to download directly to my MacBook Pro from Software Update or from the Apple Downloads site.

I just had this issue as well.  A work around is to manually install all of the updates, one-by-one.  This may take a while and be a pain, but after this it's freesailing for future updates.  Not sure what the issue is but don't worry, that will fix it.

Instead of downloading one by one simply download the 10.6.7 'combo' update from Apples support site, it contains all previous updates in one package.

  • How can I reformat my hard drive if erase and partition don't work in disk utility and I get an error when I try to erase and install from the Leopard install disk?  I have had several kernel panics, but the volume shows up in startup disk.

    I have had several kernel panics on my iBook G4; the panic message shows up just after the desktop appears. Although the startup volume shows up in Startup Disk, the installation disk reports an error when I attempt an erase and install. Disk utility is unable either to erase or partition the hard drive. The hard drive shows up in disk utility, but the startup volume doesn’t  HELP!!!

    Do you have the original system discs that came with the iBook when it was new?
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Erasing the disc and installing Mac OS X 10.5 will result in loss of the other applications (such as the iLife applications) which came pre-installed on the iBook.

  • How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro?  It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

    That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
    It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)

  • HT5731 How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    How can I download my TV episodes to my Macbook Pro. I bought them from my iPad2, and I looked for them with the same AppleID on iTunes Store and they wont download to my iTunes.

    What country are you in ? Depending upon what country that you are in then you might be able to redownload them on your Mac's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the iTunes store homepage
    If you're not in a country where TV programmes can be redownloaded then connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and use the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over from your iPad

    Unless you've done anything to change it, Google keeps every email that ever passes through their server in your All Mail folder/mailbox/label. Even if you delete stuff, they hold onto it, there. You have to go out of your way to actually delete anything permanently.

    Assuming you still have the CD's and they are still readable:
    Delete everything "jumbled" from your iTunes Library.
    Insert the CD, and do not read them into iTunes, but copy them instead  into a folder with the name you want in your iTunes Library afterwards, insert the next CD and copy it into a second folder (different name), etc.
    Then put the first folder into Yourname/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
    Start iTunes and see it appear in the iTunes Library. Close iTunes, do the same with the next folder, etcetera
    That was excessively complicated, and NOT how you import CD's into iTunes.  I have imported nearly 1000 CD's into iTunes and never once, not once, have I fulled around with folders.  That is done in preferences.  That's not how iTunes works.  William needs to post his question to the iTunes for Mac forum, where much easier solutions will be provided. 

  • The Safari on my iMac is no longer supported, how can I download   and install a new version?

    The Safari browser on my iMac OSX 10.6.8 is no longer supported. How can I download and install a supported Safari browser?

    If you’re running Safari 5.1.10, you need to either upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers.
    To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
