How do update latest operating system to my mac 10.4.11
My mac is outdated and doesn't even support my iphone.....I tried to download the new lion operating sytem but it said I need to have Leopard already installed, so I realized I'm starting a journey that may have no end! Bascially my current mac is five years old with the 10.4.11 software, I'm trying to discover a way to download the latest software, or even something that is close to the latest.....So do I have to go back and download 5 operating systems concurrently, or what is the process. I was about to order the Leopard operating system and thought I better figure this out in case it gets here and my computer won't download it because my system isn't ready for it. On a similar note, is this software available to download online or do I have to order discs and wait for them in the mail? I realize my tech savvy is coming through at the elementary level it is, I just am trying to get the most out of my Apple products and add an Apple TV and wondering if this Mac has any life left in it. I am more than willing to buy lots of software, I'm sure its more cost effective then a new Mac....Anyways if anyone is willing to tackle this and give the right advice or even point me in the right direction I would be very grateful! Thanks, Josh
You purchase Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD from a place such as the online Apple Store, run Software Update, and if desired and possible, use the Mac App Store to purchase Lion.

How, specifically, do I download the latest operating system for my Mac laptop?
How, specifically, do I download the latest operating system for my Mac laptop?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

Can I update the operating system on my Mac OSX 10.5.8
How can I update my Mac OSX 10.5.8 to a newer operating system?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

How to find my Operating System on a MAC IIci
How can I determine the actual operating system version of my MAC II ci.
The IIci originally shipped with system 6.0.4, but Everymac says these system versions were supported in total: 6.0.4-7.5.1, 7.5.3-7.6.1. Of course you need to boot it up and look at it like Dave Sawyer says to actually know which one you have.

I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?
Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
Or do you have system sounds muted?
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

After updating my operating system to 5.0.1 I can no longer send messages on my Road Runner email account even after modifying the outbound server for their mobile one. Opening Mail shows its trying to send but than I'm told the server wasn't recognized and the emails are in a temporary outbox. I can receive no problem on both Road Runner and Yahoo Mailboxes but can only send on Yahoo. Problem is that 95% of my emails come into Road Runner. Anybody find a solution to this?
Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,

An app requires a later operating system but iTunes indicates phone has latest operating system when I sync with the computer. How do I get latest system if iTunes says I have the latest?
If you have a Verizon iPhone 4, the current version of iOS is 4.2.10. You can not install anything higher at this point. The next release of iOS will most likely be iOS 5.
