How do i know which software i need to update my computer

I can not access Itunes because it says that i need the latest version of a software. So i got the OSX update 10.8 and it says this  This package type requires Mac OS X 10.5.. I dont get it.. I am new to apple products. I dont understand what i need to do to update my software and be able to access ITUNES. Please help. i also have no idea what operating system i have all it says is Mac OS X

Hello & welcome!
Was it the 10.5 version of Itunes you downloaded?
If you're in 10.8.x, under the Apple icon at top left, choose Sofware update, does that show a later iTunes & such?

  • HT2404 How do I know which software to update?

    I have had my mac book 2 and a half years, I don't think I have updated the software on it since I have had it.
    I don't think my software is now totally compatable with safari, and I am having dificulties with corrupt cookies and logging onto certain websites.
    I am really rubbish with all this and have to keep reseting my safari to remedy this
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks Lynds

    Software Update will only offer you updates relevant to your machine.

    Also I think doing each update one at a time, reduces the chance of the system tripping up over its shoelaces.
    With your Safari problems, from the menubar Safari choose Reset Safari and also Empty Cache.

  • How do I know which plugins are needed

    Mozilla's newsletter has just prompted me to check my Firefox plugins. It found five that were up-to-date, all of which I recognise - sort of. I was surprised though that it found another 10 which it said were "unknown" and prompted me to "research". Some of these were pretty blue-chip, like McAfee SecurityCenter, and Google Update - some don't mean much to me. Four are "Real"Something.
    I guess I should get rid of those I don't need. My problem is - how do I know what I need? If I disable RealJukeBox, am I likely to find that something I use suddenly stops working? Clicking "Research" may tell me how to remove a plugin, but does not seem to tell me what it does and what uses it. (I think BBC iPlayer uses RealPlayer, so I probably should not remove that.)

    Find the ap in the App Store and tap on it to see more info. There will be a section with minimum system requirements.

    how do i update my mac software and how do I know which operating system I am on

    1. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu to check the installed version.
    2. Incremental updates are available in the Software Update pane of System Preferences or the Mac App Store's Updates tab. The source for full version upgrades varies; 10.6 through 10.8 are in the online Apple Store, and 10.9 is in the Mac App Store.

  • Adobe Cloud has 2 different Muse programs.... how do I know which one is the newer better version?

    So I am new to Muse, and my Adobe Cloud has 2 different programs from Muse... how do I know which one is the newer better version?
    One Must program (Muse CC 2014.2)  has a black background when working on it... it looks like other Adobe programs such as Photoshop.
    The other one is light color (Muse CC) very similar to the black color Muse on functions.....
    One of the difference I notice is that the light color Muse has a few widgets in the library, while the black background Muse seems to have an empty library
    So... why are there 2 different Muse programs in my Adobe Cloud?

    Hi
    The latest version of Muse is 2014.2, so you need to uninstall another version of Muse manually.
    regarding the items in Library, you can add items in your library manually, as shown in this article
    Adobe Muse Help | Organizing and reusing design elements using Library panel
    Please let me know if you have any other query.

  • How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

    My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive.  I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
    I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

  • How can I know which link was clicked in the link list

    Hi everyone
    I'm using list of links in my page to display list of the files in some directory.
    How can I know which link user was clicked. There are some code:
    <%
    String dir = "..//files//";
    File fin = new File(dir);
    File files[]=fin.listFiles();
    for(int i=0;i<files.length;i++)
    File x = files;
    %>
    <%=x.getName()%><br>
    <%
    %>
    Please help

    You need to pass some data on the querystring to the page you are linking to.
    <a href="Main_Work.jsp?file=<%=x.getName()%>"><%=x.getName()%></a><br>
    This will send a parameter called "file" with the value of the file name that the user clicked.
    Now in Main_Work.jsp you can access this data as follows:
    <%
    String s = request.getParameter("file");
    File f = new File("..//files//"+s);
    %>

  • When contacts have a number in common, how do I know which is calling?

    Many of my contacts work, or live at the same place, as other contacts.   How do I know which one is calling?  My iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1) caller ID will display "John Smith and 4 others".  I thought, if I put a contact called "Smith Residence", it would display that instead of John Smith and 4 others. That didn't work.
    Then I tried linking the contacts to the "Smith Residence" listing, but that didn't work.
    Then I thought I'll delete the people and reenter them, leaving only "Smith Residence" . That didn't work.
    It doesn't seem to be the order that the contacts were entered, which decides the contact to display. It doesn't seem to be the one that others are linked to that displays. So, what is it that decides which contact displays when I get a call from a particular phone number,  if that # is common to many contacts?
    How can I choose which of my contacts will display?

    OK I think I get it.  My contacts are sorted by first name and because (alphabetically) "John Smith" is before "Smith Residence", it will always show "John Smith".  Now I have something to work with; I just need to know what alpha rules iOS uses.  Anyone???
    Word:
    *Smith residence
    1 Smith residence
    John smith
      Smith residence
    Smith residence
    -Smith residence
    Excel:
    Smith residence
    *Smith residence
    1 Smith residence
    John smith
    Smith residence
    -Smith residence

  • How do I know which block has been changed in Master/Detail

    Hi,
    I have master detail blocks. How do I know which block has been changed?
    I used :SYSTEM.FORM_STATUS. It only gave me "Changed" or "Query". but didn't tell me which block has been changed in MASTER or DETAIL.

    I believe if :system.form_status != 'QUERY' you'll need to loop through through the blocks checking :system.block_status to see who changed. Of course you'd have to go_block() before checking the status.

    Disable all addons by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the disable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels.
    Restart Firefox.
    Confirm the problem isnt there.
    Enable each addon one by one by going to Tools -> Addons and clicking the enable button in every entry under Extensions or Plugins panels, in such a way that each time you enable ONE addon, you RESTART the browser and see if the problem STILL happens.
    AS SOON AS the problem happens, disable the last addon you enabled. That one is the culprit. You can now enable all the others, if needed.

  • How can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?

    1 ) I have query in which i have 3-4 tables but there multiple index on one column .
    so how can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?
    2) I have a query which ia taking too much time . how can i know which table is taking too much time ?
    3) Please Provide me some document of EXplain plan ?

    Hi Jimmy,
    Consider the below example
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    CREATE TABLE FIRST AS
    SELECT * FROM all_objects;
    UPDATE FIRST
    SET object_name = 'TEST'
    WHERE owner != 'SCOTT';
    CREATE INDEX idx_first ON FIRST(object_name);
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'TEST';
    It has not used index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 2265626682
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| FIRST | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'emp';
    This has used the index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 1184810458
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    | 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| FIRST | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    |* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_FIRST | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    From this we can come to the conclusion that, whether to use one index or not by oracle
    would also depend on the data which is present in the table. This has to be this way as
    we see in the bind peeking, if oracle sticks to only one plan, say only use the full table
    scan, it would be a performance hit when it searches for the second query ie where object_name
    ='emp';
    2.
    If we have a query like below.
    select * from emp
    where upper(ename) = upper(:p_ename);
    Evenif we have the index on ename column, oracle wouldn't be able to use the index, as there is a function in the predicate column. If you need oracle to use the index, we need to create a function based index as below.
    Create index idx_ename on emp(upper(ename));
    Regards,
    Cool
