How do I update to Mac OSX 10.8.4? Not OSX 10.8.5..
Hi there
I'm currently running OSX 10.7.5 Lion on my Macbook Pro and need to update to OSX 10.8.4 Mountain Lion specifically
I intend to coinstall Pro Tools 10.3.7 and latest version of Pro Tools 11 on the machine and from what I can gather on Avid website..
"The co-install is only supported on OSX 10.8.4.."
I am ready to purchase and install Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion here on the Apple Store.
However I am pretty sure this will update my system to 10.8.5 which will not be supported.
Any advice or methods I could try would be greatly apprectiated..
From Avid website:
Pro Tools 10.3.7 and Mac OS X 10.8.4 are supported for co-install with Pro Tools 11.x (details)Mac OS X: Pro Tools 10.3.7 is qualified with Mac OS X 10.8.4. For co-install with Pro Tool 11.x, use either Mac OS X 10.8.3 or 10.8.4.
Thanks
Tom
Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately I don't have an installer file for OS X 10.8.4 ..
Do you think Apple Support could push that particular update out to machine when I go to purchase?
Alternatively I could go searching the net for an installer but then I'd have no idea what I was installing was valid.
Do you know if I installed 10.8.5 is it currently possible to roll back to 10.8.4?
Tom

If you have a Mid 2010 model: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. If later then see below:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
If you have an earlier model:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.

How do i updata my mac os x 10.4.11
how do i updata my mac os x 10.4.11
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

Isight updater with mac osx 10.4...help!
Hi
I'm trying to download the updater and i got this error message
This update does not work with Mac OS X 10.4 or later
is there anything i can do? ive just worked out that after 6 ipods not working over 3 yrs...technical support have just told me to unplug isight from my imac and the ipod worked! crazy, but to use it while ipod is connected i need to update the software if anyone can pls help?
thankyou
sophieHello Sophie,
Which update are you trying to download? Can you paste a link to it?
I am confused because your title says "isight updater with mac osx 10.4...help!", but your system info shows that you are using Mac OS X (10.3.8).
If you have Mac OS X 10.4.x, all needed iSight updaters are installed.
If you are trying to use iSight simultaneously with a Firewire-connected iPod, the iPod may be inducing a conflict. See the Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight. FAQ for more info.
I do not use iPod. You will get better help with your iPod questions at your other post of this same question: my 6th ipod finally works....guess how?!!! -
can i and if i can how do i update my mac os x 10.6.8 system to the mac os x 10.7??
1)
OS X Lion system requirements
To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.

Check your machine's actual specifications here.
It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here. Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition. This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it. -

You MUST buy the upgrade.
It is never free to update to a new OS. -
TS1394 How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6 and higher
How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6
I did not know OS upgrade had to be purchased since I have been updating for free up to this point.
Everything within a major point release for OS X is free. So moving from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8 for example would be free. 10.5.x to 10.6.x would not.
Apple does continue to confuse folks by giving major paid releases the same OS X name and just increasing the point number. Usually in the world of software, a point release is a larger, free update to fix programming issues. You would normally have expected paid releases to be OS X (10), OS XI (11), etc. Apple did this instead, each paid major release called OS X:
10.2 - Jaguar
10.3 - Panther
10.4 - Tiger
10.5 - Leopard
10.6 - Snow Leopard
10.7 - Lion
10.8 - Mountain Lion -
How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.
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.

Photoshop CS5 crashes when trying to print. I recently updated to Mac OSX Mavericks. Help?
Hi, Chris. Thanks for giving this query a look. I have the same problem. All documents print on my HP Deskjet 932C except Photoshop files since I updated to Mavericks.
My CS5 version is 9.0 x64. Mavericks is 10.9.4.
I checked the HP drivers and HP doesn't have one for OS X newer than 10.4.
I tried printing out the detailed report (very long!) and this page rejected the reply as spam. Can we provide the text as an attachment?
