How do I get IOS v10.9 onto my Macbook pro ?

Since posting the question below, I found an answer that I believe will solve my problem. I need to go to the Apps Store and get the Mevericks OSX free upgrade. Looking for 10.9 will not help, must be Mavericks. Why Applw couldn't have said that in the message instead of just referring to IOS 10.9, I do not know - it would have saved me and no doubt others, a lot of time and frustration ! I am downloading Mavericks from the App Store now, and expect that will solve things for me. Thanks to the users who posted this simple solution.
Since updating my iPad and iPhone and the apps on it to IOS7, I am unable to open anything from Pages, Numbers or Keynote on my Mac, I am told I need to update to the latest version. I have some downloads for these apps and others (but only when I click the 'show incompatible updates' line ) that tell me I need IOS v10.9 on my Mac otherwise I must download an older version, which of course won't open any of the documents as described above. I have not been offered and update of v10.9 (I am on v10.8.5) and cannot find a download link anywhere for v10.9, Can anyone help ?
Thanks
Andy

Hi Maggie Pie
Thanks for this - I eventually figured it out from a reply given to another user about Pages. The problem was that I don't remember seeing anything that told me about the change to Mavericks and that this was in fact OSX 10.9. I wasn't offered it as an update through the App Store which is what normally happens with updates, and the note that came up when I was trying to download the latest apps referred only to requiring 10.9 - had it said Mavericks or Mavericks 10.9 instead, I would have found the upgrade on the site much more quickly.
Thanks for this reply, however, I'm sure it will all be great again once the download is done.
Cheers
Andy

  • I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook.  I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac.  How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro?  I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

    I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook.  I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac.  How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro?  I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.

    You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs.  Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP.  Here's more info from Apple.
    You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do i get the GBP sign on my macbook pro

    HI how do i get the GBP sign on my macbook pro ?
    Thanks

    You hold down the Option key and type a 3 on a US standard keyboard.
    Or you open System Preferences / Keyboard, tick the Show Keyboard & Character viewers option. That will pop up a menulet in the menu bar from which you can choose the Keyboard Viewer item. In turn, that pops up a mini-floater on the screen, mimicking your keyboard and showing what characters are produced as you press any of the keys.

  • How do I get rid of viruses on my MAcBook Pro

    How do I get rid of viruses on my MAcBook Pro

    It may not be malware, a Web scam that only affects your browser, and only temporarily. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

    If the above step doesn't solve the problem, you may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • How do I get visual basic 2010 on my macbook pro?

    How do I get visual basic 2010 on my macbook pro?

    The Mac version is called Real Studio
    That is not the same as Visual Basic.  It is similar, but not the same.  Unless something has changed in the last few years, it will not execute or create Visual Basic code.  That may or may not be important to the OP, depending on whether he actually needs VB or just a product that is similar, but is an important point he needs to be aware of.

  • How can I get the tech specs of my MacBook Pro?

    Hi - I want to sell my MacBook Pro (to buy a new one). I am one of those people who loves Apple because I do not have to worry about techy things as I had to when I was a PC guy. The problem is that, as a result, now that I want to sell my MacBook, I cannot remember its tech configuration and do not know how to get it!!
    I am sure this question is most silly for most of you. Could someone please let me know how I can get the tech specs of my MacBook? In particular, I was thinking of:
    - OS X version
    - Processor
    - L2 cache
    - System Bus
    - Memory (RAm)
    - Hard Drive
    - Optical Drive
    - Graphics card
    - Graphics memory
    - Video capability
    - Display resolution
    - Expantion slots, etc
    - Ethernet card
    - Wireless card
    Thanks a lot!!

    For the published specs, click on the Support tab at the top of the page, select the "Tech Specs" link, and search for your model of MacBook Pro. For specifics about your system, run System Profiler, which will be in Applications -> Utilities folder on your MBP.

  • How do you install Photoshop 5.0 onto the Macbook Pro?

    so i've been trying to install the photoshop elements 5.0 for about a weeeek now...lol & this thing still isnt working! i'm really gettin angry! jk. but i'm serious tho, how do you install this onto the macbook pro?

    OK seriously, I did not want to make you feel stupid, it was in fact the first thing that came to my mind. Now, if you got something from Costco, there is probably a box or a CD with it, which should tell you whether it is a PC version or a Mac version. These apps usually come with items like a camera or maybe a scanner included. Please take the time and check what you got. If there is nothing on the disk telling you it's a Mac-version, youprobably got the wrong thing.
    The Mac version is available via Adobe's website, just look for Photoshop Elements 9, that's the current version. There even is a trial available.

  • HT5622 How do I get iOS 5 loaded onto my iPad?

    I need help understanding how I get iOS 5 and load it onto my ipad

    It's really pretty simple to do.
    Connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    There are some important things that you should know before you update.

  • How to transfer songs from an iPad onto a MacBook Pro?

    Hi,
    So I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. Before that though, I had a windows laptop and an iPad mini. The iPad mini was synced to the windows laptop, which broke. I then set up an iTunes account for my Mac with the same apple ID as I'd previously used, and made purchases on the iTunes Store on my Mac.
    Basically, I am now stuck with my songs which I had on my iPad before purchasing the Mac which I cannot get onto my Mac and I am stuck with purchases on my MacBook which I cannot transfer to my iPad. I have not synced my iPad to the library yet, although I have authorised the MacBook. Some of the songs on my iPad were not purchased on the iTunes Store either, but I do not want to lose them.
    Any ideas on how to sync my iPad with my MacBook without losing anything?
    Thanks!

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss. To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer. iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.

  • How can I get files from my "no entry" MacBook Pro?

    I've got a MacBook Pro A1286 that I got a couple of years ago. It crashed with the "no entry" sign recently.
    It's insured so it'll be getting fixed in the next week or so, but they're not sure if they'll be able to recover the data, so I'd like to try myself first.
    It suddenly went kaput, when I go to Disk Utility in the recovery mode, it says everything is OK, but I went through in terminal and it keeps endlessly trying to access the drive and can't. It can see that the drive's there, but can't access it at all.
    I don't have another Mac, nor an external drive, so I'm not sure how I could go about recovering my files. I was going to try burning an ISO of Disk Drill to a DVD and booting from that, but I'm not sure that's possible.

    See mount section. You can run this from Terminal in Recovery.

  • How do I get my Mac OS 10.7 macbook pro connected to my already-functioning Brother HL-5370DW printer?

    We recently purchased both a new Brother HL-5370DW (wireless) printer and a 15 inch macbook pro with OS X v.10.7.  I got the printer set up using the CD-ROM's setup assistant, my older mac and our time capsule and it works great from there - no problems connecting or printing.  However, now that we are trying to add the new mac, we can't figure out how to get them to talk to each other.  When we try to run the setup assistant from the CD-ROM, we get an error message saying that PowerPC applications are no longer supported.  We thought maybe that was related to it being a flash-based assistant, so we installed flash, but that made no difference.  We downloaded the latest printer drivers from Brother and installed them, but still no dice.  Any thoughts?  My husband is convinced that the problem must lie in the time capsule and he wants to do a factory reset of that.  I think that is nuts because if it was the time capsule, why would the older computer still work fine printing through it?  Help!

    Check to ensure that your computer is compatible for the upgrade first -

    Go to your applications folder, and open up "Apps Store".  Once open, in the top right, type in Mountain Lion.  You can download it here. 

  • How do i get rid of malware on my macbook pro

    I am not computer savvy, I tried to watch NFL live through safari and ultimately came down with a bad case of malware where I am constantly getting pop ups and my internet is extremely slow now. How can I get rid of this malware?

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
