How do I update my emac?

How do I update an Emac? I need to be able to download adobe and anti virus and games,

OSX retail disks work, but the eMac needs a 1.0Ghz or faster processor for the 10.5 installer to work. She needs to check the speeds.
The sticker on the inside of the optical drive door has the serial number but also the original hardware config and processor info. In this picture:
the third line starting with "G4" has the hardware config. The example has a 1.25Ghz processor, Have your friend check that before buying any OS disks.
She should also see if the serial numbers fall in these ranges:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
Quite a few eMacs in these ranges had very bad logic board issues and may not be worth the cost of system disks, which are not cheap.
I hope you don't mind me asking an add-on question,
Around here, add-on posts sometimes get ignored because of the difficult they pose to the responder in keeping multiple issues straight in a single thread. We find the phrase, "exact same problem" seldom applies! It's always best to start a new thread so you get the full attention you deserve with diluting help offered to others. We gotcha covered this time, however!

I would like to update my eMac from 10.4.11 to 10.6. How can I get this os version for the update?

I would like to update my eMac from 10.4.11 to to 10.6.x How can I get this os version for the update?

Highest an eMac can go is 10.5.8...
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
    * Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
    * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
Trouble is appl no longer sells it, you have to search eBay & such for the full retail version, not any grey Install Disc.
There are workarounds if the 867MHz is the only hangup...

TA48312 How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?

How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?
I have osx 10.3.x and i want to update to the highest possible. Please help!!!!! i cant find the download. And i dont want to lose any data!!

Depending upon the specific model you have you can upgrade to either 10.4.x or 10.5.x. Neither are available from Apple any longer, so you will need to look to eBay or Amazon for copies. Be sure to only purchase retail copies and not gray labled machine-specific copies.
If your eMac came with 10.3 originally and has a clock speed of 1 GHz or higher, then you can install Leopard, 10.5.x.
If you don't want to lose data then make backups.

How do I update stocks widget?

Every time I try to add a stock I get a message saying "failed to validate symbol". I am trying to add well known stocks from a published list such as DJI? Why am I getting that message and how do I update my list?

Are you using Leopard as your computer profile data you entered suggests (emac Mac OS X (10.5.8) ), or Snow Leopard which is the forum in which you posted?

How can I update my app store account ?

Hi, I have a new Iphone and I wanted to add some applications from apple store.
Unfortunately, I had a message saying that I was using app store on a new device (true) and they needed to check some security thing from my visa card. Unfortunately, I had a new card and do not have the previous one anylonger (the previous one expires in 1 year but had to be cancelled).
Therefore I am blocked and cannot get into my account.

In the future Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
how can i update my table automatically at run time so tat, my table is
updated whenever a new object is entered into vector..You don't update the Vector directly. You should be creating a method in your TableModel, called "addRow(...)". This method will do two things:
a) add the Student object to the Vector
b) invoke the fireTableRowsInserted(..) method of AbstractTableModel. This will cause the table to be repainted.

Steps to put itunes (50 gb) on external drive and delete from imac. How would I update my ipods and ipad from the external drive if I do this

I am planning to put itunes library on external hard drive. My Imac is running out of room and itunes is 50+ gb of music.
What steps do I take to do this. Also, if I do so, how do I update my ipods and my ipad 2. I do back up my files with time machine. This would be a completely separate new external hard drive. Thanks in advance for any help.

Two ways:
1. After transferring to the external drive create an alias to the iTunes Music folder on the external drive. Copy the alias into your Home folder. Rename the alias to "iTunes Music." Delete the alias from the external drive.
2. In the iTunes preferences click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. You should see a field labeled, "iTunes Media Folder Location." Click on the Change button and select the /iTunes Music/ folder on the external drive.

I have osx 10.6.8 and safari 5.1.10, how do I update safari?

I been using MSN.com as my homepage for some time. Suddenly I cannot access it using the Safari browser on my iMac. Instead I get an MSN "preview" page with a message that I am using an outdated browser. My browser is Safari 5.1.10. I opened the Apple Menu and chose Software Updates, but it does not provide a Safari update. How do I update Safari and what version should I use for OSX 10.6.8?

Safari is now a part of OS X and there are different versions (5, 6 and 7) of it.
To update Safari you must update OS X.

How do I update my Macbook Air 10.6.8 to a newer version?

How do i update my Macbook Air 10.6.8 to a newer version

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click here, and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.

How do I update the software on my Airport Express?

Hello everyone,
I have an Airport Extreme base station acting as WDS and an Airport Express station. I recently upgraded the security on the Airport Extreme base station from 128-WEP to WPA (Personal), but I don't know whether I have to do something to the Airport Express base station. It's green light is on. Do I need to do something? Also, how do I update the software in the Express? Whenever I open the Airport Admin Utility, the only thing that comes up on a scan is my Extreme base station. Any advice would be most appreciated.

yes you need to update your Airpost Express. I just went through this last week with two of my Airport Expresses. I updated my Base and my Remote's light was green but was unable to view it in Airport Admin Utility. So this is what I ended up doing and it works great.
First bring the Airport Express you are working on in the same room as your computer......just the ease of seeing what is going on with the Airport Express. Next you need to reset it.....take a paper clip and push in the little button next to the Audio port and hold in 10 seconds. Then unplug the unit wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. wait about 3 minutes and then you will need to use Airport Set Up Assistant. You will need to make sure you have WPA Personal on your Airport Express too.
don't forget to make sure you have the update firmware too.

I hope this helps.....
