How do I update safari on my macbook pro

how do I update safari on my macbook pro

Updates should be available through Software Update or the App Store.
The latest version for Leopard : Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
Snow Leopard : Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard
Lion & later : How to install Safari
>>If you need to reinstall Safari, simply reinstall OS X. Use Software Update after you reinstall OS X to >>make sure Safari and other OS X software are up to date.
If you want a later Safari than that available for your OS X version, you'll need to upgrade the OS.

How do I hear audio from my Macbook Pro 2009 to my LED TV?

I recently received an adapter for my Macbook Pro 2009, Mini DisplayPort (Mini DP) to HDMI Female Adapter + HDMI Cable for my birthday. I knew before receiving this adapter I needed something to transmit audio to my TV. However, th 1/8' (3.5mm) to RCA stereo audio cable I purchased does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion on which cable I need to purchase next to make the sound component work when connecting my laptop to my Toshiba LED TV?

The Mac's audio output doubles as a optical Toslink stereo mini jack, just use a adapter to regular Toslink and plug the optical cable to your surround sound system. Fiddle with the sound settings to enable optical output.
Mac's pass surround sound through, they don't do any processing.

After updating iTunes and rebooting MacBook Pro does not reboot.

So after installing the update of the new iTunes the system needed to reboot. Screen remains black, battery is full and even with connection to the power network. When pressing the power button you hear the system starts working but stops after unpressing the power button. Also no sound of any HDD or other lights start working (apart from the green power light on the battery at the back / power network) Also the small white light next to the screen opener just goes on for 3 seconds or something. My MacBook Pro is from October 2008 and had further all available updates and 4GB of RAM. Anyone a solution?
Thanks in advance

How do I download iLife on my MacBook Pro (for free) after purchasing a new iOS device

Hello,
I watched the most recent keynote address just like everybody else and was very happy to hear that Apple was going to provide the new iLife and iWork software for free with the purchase of a new Mac device or iOS device. So, I went and purchased a new iPhone 5S. Now how do I get my free copy of this software on my MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) running Mavericks?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcus

You must be running Mavericks and have purchased the iLife 11 apps, either they came with the Mac or from a purchased iLIfe 11 disk, in order to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5 for free.
The following came from this MacWorld article: What you need to know about Apple's free apps policy | Macworld
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps) and you got them from the Mac App Store or iOS App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the app page on the Mac or iOS App Store.
If you own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps for the Mac but did not purchase them from the Mac App Store: You should be able to download the latest versions for free by going to the Mac App Store and tapping Update, though you may need to first visit the Purchases screen, where you might see a box called “You Have [number] Apps to Accept.” This ties apps you have on your computer to both your Apple ID and a hardware identifier on your computer, and it should allow you to download free updates to these programs from any computer associated with your Apple ID.
Some users (including yours truly) are reporting issues where the Mac App Store doesn’t recognize their copies; when they click on an iLife or iWork app’s price, they receive the following alert: “[App] is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store. Do you want to buy [app]?” Macworld spoke with an Apple spokesperson who noted that there’s currently an issue with some legacy customers, and the company is working on a fix. That fix appears to have been implemented; on Thursday, several users told Macworld that they were getting the Accept Apps prompt.
If you don’t own iLife '11 or iWork ’09 apps (or v1 iOS apps), or own older Mac versions: On the iLife side, you’ll have to buy iMovie and iPhoto at full price ($15 or $5, depending on platform). GarageBand is free for everyone to download, though the app does offer in-app purchases. Apple’s iWork apps are each $20 for the Mac, $10 on the iPhone or iPad.

How do I unlock iTunes on my MacBook Pro?

My hard drive was replaced this evening. I've put everything from my Time Machine backup back onto my computer. The only thing that seems to be awry is that when I go to open iTunes, I get the message: "The folder iTunes is on a locked disc or you do not have write permissions for this folder."
Anybody know how I can fix this?
Thanks!

You post in the iTunes forum.

How do I update iMessage on my macbook pro?

So I've had my iMessage turned off for a while because I was just getting it serviced and didn't want to risk whomever was looking at my macbook getting bombarded with random messages here and there, and I just turned it on. It's all fine and dandy and we're all singing with the bluebirds and everything, except the history of my messages since I turned it off isn't showing up.
Is there a way to get the new messages that I've only received on my phone to update on my iMessage ap on my laptop? So my iMessage on my laptop will show every single iMessage I've received even on my phone?

Hi,
The answer is No.
I will qualify that a bit further.
iMessages are pushed from the server for a limited period to all the registered/linked devices.
I used my iPhone in a hotel when I went away for a weekend to watch the British Superbikes.
The hotel had WiFi so I sent iMessages to my wife.
That was the Friday evening.
These particular iMessages did sync to my Mac once I turned it On on Sunday evening.
I would surmise that a Friday to Monday catch up between iPhones and work computers is a possible but I have not seen anyone one post that.
The sync is only "display on all Devices" and is not like a email Server that sends it to any device that logs in that has not read that set of email(s).

How come the repair cost of a MacBook Pro cost more than a brand new unit?

My nephew bought her Mac Book Pro last June 2012. During the time that floods hit metro manila where she is studying, her Mac Book Pro (13in) happend to have been damped wet by water. Still running but it seems the batter got problem. So she brought her unit to SM North Edsa ( Annex) Mac Center for possible repair. The Mac Center told my nephew that the unit will be brought somewhere in Mandaluyong - Apple Service Center. After a few days she received a message from the Mac Center telling her that the repair cost will be a whooping P88,000.00 almost twice the cost of her unit when she bought it. My sister ( my nephew's mother) was fuming asking me how come the cost of repair is so great, it is better to buy a new one.
Is this really true? I wonder what others may have experienced bringing their unit for repair and finding out that the cost of repair is such... APPLE IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS... IS THIS THE KIND OF AFTER SALES SERVICE THAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU... PLEASE explain it to me.. thanks

And mind you dear APPLE believers, this also happens to my BOSS' Mac Book Air, which was brought also to an Apple Center for repair due to White Screen of Death... The repair center told my boss that the repair would cost him P68,000 pesos... the new Mac Book Air is only P47,990.00. Who in his right mind agree to such a repair cost which costs more than a brand new unit... If this is so... then APPLE is not a good brand after all... Anyone who had the same story?
BTW i tried to revive the unit by following some repair tips from the internet... and I was able to revive it without spending a dime.... I am not a technician... just wondering what kind of SKILLS those technicians at the Apple Repair Centers have in the Philippines...

How do u update iTunes on ur iPhone?

How do u update iTunes on iPhone. I'm trying to connect my new iPhone to computer but it says I need the new version

What is the EXACT message being displayed. It is highly unlikely that the iPhone needs to be updated to sync with the computer. More likely iTunes on your computer needs to be updated.

How can I stop my old apple macbook pro from syncing with my new computer and iPhone?

How can I stop my old apple macbook pro computer from syncing with my new apple computer and iphone?

Are you saying you plugged your iPhone into your NEW computer & received a message that ALL iTunes content, currently on your phone, will be erased if you sync with this computer?

I updated my phone to ios 7.0.2. Now my phone isn't available because my iTunes isn't 11.1. I can't upgrade my iTunes because my MacBook Pro is only 10.5.8. I can't change it to 10.6, and I have no idea why. Any suggestions?

I updated by iPhone to iOS 7.0.2. My phone won't sync with my iTunes because I need to have 11.1. I can't get the new iTunes because my MacBook Pro is only 10.5.8. Any suggestions on how to get this done? I need my calendars to sync. The MacBook pro doesn't have iCloud, so I can't sync that way.

Click here, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and then run the 10.6.8 combo updater.

When I open iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I am now getting a small window that says "Checking iTunes Library" with a pinwheel. This goes on for 5-10 minutes before I am able to access iTunes. Help! How do I fix this?

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

How to use two harddrives on one Macbook Pro to store Itunes music

I have 2 harddrives in my macbook pro and have more music than can be on one drive. I Know that I can get Itunes to point to either drive but not to both at the same time. Does anyone know how to accomplish using both drives "seamlessly" with one copy of Itunes on one Macbook Pro, please? I do not intend to swap drives. Both would be on at all times.

I keep mine on multiple internal drives by completely disabling iTunes automatically managing music for me, but if you do that you are also responsible for keeping things organized yourself. There's various other advantages and disadvantages to doing it that way but it isn't for people who don't like tinkering with how things work but just want it to do it for them.
You can tell iTunes to change where to store media and it will put new media in that location from that point on unless you do a consolidate/organize in which case you're in trouble if it can't put it all together in one place.

The iPhone is not a storage/backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to iPhone. The only exception is iTunes purchases. File>Devices>transfer Purchases
