How do i know what OS X version i have and if i need to upgrade

Hello everyone, how do I know if I need to upgrade to mountaint lion or leapord? I currently have mac os x 10.6.8.

You don't need to upgrade if Mac OS X 10.6.8 is adequate for what you're using the computer for. If you'd like to, open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

How do I know what the current version of fcpx w/o going to app store?

How do I know what the current version of fcpx without going to the app store? I'm hoping this is obvious and easy but I can't see it yet.

Thanks Neil, and thanks for figuring out that I wanted the general answer, not just the version right now.
But here's the question I should have asked: How do I know when there is a new version of FCPX so I can update right away? Was there an email or alert I missed, or do I just keep checking ?

How do you know what Mac Mini version you are getting?

I heard that as of September 2005, Apple had completly updated there Mac Mini's.. I heard that they put in a 64mb 9200 Graphic Card, and all had Bluetooth and Airport.. But, how would I know that what I am getting is the updated version? Compusa's Mac Mini has the July 2005 config posted, but no September updated specs..
Thanks! If I can get this issue resolved, I might be picking up the September 05 Mac Mini. I'm new, so I hope I posted this on the right place!

Will it be just luck if I pick up the updated version
or does the box state the actual spec's in the
store?
If not, then this really will get madd. I was
thinking about switching over to Mac from WXP but if
they can't market/organize there specs better then
Apple won't get my XP to Mac switch. Plain and simple.
All you can do is assume that the specification Apple quote for the mini, and that is printed on the box, is the specification of the system you are buying. If it turns out to be uprated, you are fortunate, but otherwise it'll be exactly what you paid for.
Clearly, if Apple were ONLY selling uprated models, the specification they quote would be changed to reflect that fact.
The decision to purchase a system should be based on whether the model available meets your needs. As to Apple not being able to organize their specifications better, you might consider the possibility that the reason they don't quote better specifications for minis being sold is because not all minis being sold meet those improved specifications.

How can you see what data usage was for on the bill? It only shows the date and usage but not the reason for the usage.

You can not see this info on VZW's site. There are apps for smartphones that will break down the info though, but by site or what was downloaded

I really need your help. I'm 14.
I really need to put new music on my iPod and I have plugged it into my computer and its taking ages to back-up and it wont let me do anything until its done. It will take over 3 hours if it keeps on going like this. Please help me. I don't know what's wrong with it.
It might be because I haven't backed it up in a while but the reason I haven't is cause it takes this long! Anyone know what to do?

HT4623 how do I know what the latest version of ios is? The people at the apple store told me it was not up to date, but my computer is telling me it is?

I'm having trouble opening one app (facebook). Everything else is fine. I've deleted it, reinstalled it, shut down, made sure everything is up to date. Took the ipad to the apple store and was told the software was not up to date. Came home, plugged it in to the computer, and it tells me everything is up to date? Help!

A word of caution: What may not be up to date is the version of iTunes you are running on your computer.
Make sure you're running the latest. Get it at http://www.apple.com/itunes
The current version is iTunes 11.0.1.

How do I know what generation iPod shuffle I have

I cannot tell what generation my iPod shuffle is. How can I find out?

This document shows the four types of shuffles

The 1st and 2nd gen look different but work similarly. The 3rd and 4th gen work similarly, but are different in functionality and operation from the earlier shuffles.

HT201335 How do we know what generation Apple tv we have?

Based on model number mc572lla
because I do not get any airplay symbol by swiping my "recently used" from left to right
I also tried the other way, and updated the software on appletv

That's a 2nd generation if you Google the model number.
Should not matter.
Try restrating your phone or iPad, router and AppleTV and try again.

How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive?

How do you know what version Mac OSX is on ANOTHER drive without starting that drive
and seeing the system profiler? In fact, because the drive wont start up, Now I am wondering if it is pre-intel. ? CMD-I doesn't do it. Thanks

Why mess with this? Well, I got the HDDs and the enclosure from my previous PPC, so I'd like to make use of it all without $pending again.
I don't see any problems with using the card and drives on your new Mac. Hardware is too pricey to just leave behind if you can't help it. With the new drivers I suspect you'll be able to use your drives, I just don't think you'll be able to boot from them if the interface card requires drivers. They should still be very fast storage devices, and probably reliable due to the ongoing support the vendor has provided.
I went through the same type of issue when I bought my Dual G4 1.42 Tower (upgraded from a Quadra 840AV ). Several of my devices were SCSI (I was into SCSI Wide/Fast drive arrays at the time for video capture), and I was able to use an Adaptec card for scanning for several years with Jaguar and Panther. I'd spent quite a bit of cash to ensure high quality and performance and didn't want to loose all of the investment. Eventually the SATA hard drives and other USB and Firewire replacements became so cheap and performance improved enough that loosing SCSI with Tiger was not a big deal. I do think I should get about 5 years of hardware compatibility with most products and I keep older Mac's around for dedicated services as long as they aren't a costly maintenance issue.
