How to install 10.6.8 mac os x software

I am trying to update my software on my mac (but it is saying there are no software updates) so that I can then update the itunes to 11.0 then connect my new ipad for music

You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to 10.5.
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors.
10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
10.7 Lion used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
10.8 Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

How to install windows on a mac

hi,
I was wondering if anyone has an easy guide on how to install windows on a mac. I purchased a external hard drive to make it easier but still absolutely no clue on how to do this. At college some software isn't compatible with mac so i need to install windows aswel. Any help would be great as not very good with this at all and bootcam

An external drive is not necessary. There are several options.
One is Parallels
Second is VMware
Third. Partition the hard drive using Boot Camp
Boot Camp Assistant is pre installed on your Mac in your Applications > Utilities folder.
If you use Boot Camp, you will need to purchase a Windows install disc.

Why don't you just download Firefox, 4 through 7 are supported, or if you insist on using Internet Explorer, use Windows.

How to install hard drive into mac pro

how to install hard drive into mac pro

I recently bought a new 2TB internal sata drive for my Macpro.
The installation was easy, but I'm not sure what to do next.
For one, should I partition the drive?
My purpose for buying the drive was to use it as my go to drive for Parallels. I used to run my music studio on Windows based machines, and my older project files require a windows OS to recover. I installed Parallels so I can have my studio running Mac and Windows programs which will enable me to access my old project files and take them into my newer Protools system.
So now, I've installed my new hard drive, but I'm not sure if I should partition it....And!? I'm not sure how to designate that drive for my virtual pc on Parallels. I was able to allocate enough disk space to parallels in order to load my music software, but at this point, I'm not sure if I've just promised it disk space from my original partitioned drive (which only has about 350 GB left on it).
I would love to be able to make one internal drive available for Parallels, and the other available for the rest of my OSX. When I use Parallels, I still would like to save some extra information on the 2TB drive as well from my dekstop running OSX.
I hope this makes sense! Your help is much appreciated!

I thought that installation through Boot Camp required, without hacks, a physical optical disc to install Boot Camp? I don't use it any longer since I run XP under Parallels, but I would swear that you have to use a disc, and not a USB thumb drive, to install Windows?
Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

How to install windows 8 on mac

I just bought windows 8 pro and am trying to install in on my windows. I have previously installed windows 7 via bootcamp but just deleted the partition because I want to start over from scratch with windows 8. I understand bootcamp needs to be updated to bootcamp 5 but every time I try to use the assistant and download the windows update to my external hard drive it freezes halfway through. I'm confused as to what I should do now. I downloaded the bootcamp 5 drivers from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#macoscomponents. I downloaded the first one,
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
I'm not sure how to install this or how it works exactly but there is a file in it called setup.exe but it requires a program to open it which i dont have. I have the unarchiver program but even that wont open the setup.exe. Is this the file I need and if so how do I go about updating bootcamp. I also found out that I have bootcamp Version 5.0.2 (462) but when I open the assistant the only option on there is "create a winows 7 or later version" I assumed I needed to update it because it says nothing about windows 8. Thanks for any help.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You have to save the folder you downloaded into a USB drive. Then, after installing Windows, connect it and open the setup.exe file, so you will install the Windows support software. Windows support software is needed to make your computer run properly in Windows.
When you open Boot Camp Assistant, how many options do you see and how are they named? It's possible that your Mac isn't officially compatible with Windows 8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

How to Install Windows 7 on mac?

How can i get Windows 7 installed on my mac?
Is it pre installed ? can i get it pre installed when i buy a new one ?
Regards,
Robin Paulose

Robin,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
MS Windows must be purchased separately, you can buy it anywhere Windows is sold including Best Buy, Fry's, online stores etc. Next you must decide how you want to install it. Primarily there are 2 ways, Bootcamp or using Parallels or VM Ware Fusion, the differences are:
Bootcamp is free and comes with Leopard and Snow Leopard. It allows the user to boot their Mac in either MS Windows (XP, Vista and now Win 7) OR OS X but not both simultaneously. In short when you boot you are turning your Mac into a Windows machine. Apple officially supports XP and Vista but doesn't officially support Win 7 installation yet. However many people have done successful Win 7 installations. Look over the Windows on a Mac video here.
The next way is to us either Parallels or VM Fusion. Both products essentially do the same thing, allow the user to run Windows within OS X. This is productive if you want to move files across platforms or don't like the hassle of rebooting every time you want to change OS's. There are many reviews on Parallels and Fusion (just use Google), read those over and then decide which one you would like. They will cost you roughly $60-$80 and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or most Apple resellers.
Note: Remember when you install Windows on your Mac the partition it is installed on will be susceptible to all the virus's and other malware any MS Windows machine is so use Windows anti malware and virus software to protect your computer. Any virus's will not affect OS X though.

Roger

How to instal camera raw in mac

Hi, I'd be obliged if someone could advise me how to instal camera raw 8 into an imac.
many thanks

If you have Photoshop CS6 or higher, you already have Adobe Camera Raw 8. What you want is to update ACR to version 8.6. You can do that automatically through the Help > Updates menu item.
If you have a lower version of Photoshop, you cannot run any version of ACR 8.x.
If you don't have Photoshop at all, then you need to buy it first.
For the next time you post, please give explicit, detailed information:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
A screen shot could be very helpful too.

How to install server on additional Macs?

How do I install server on additional Macs if I want? If I am not mistaken, by purchasing the Mini Server, I qualify to put Server on some additional Macs if desired?
Thank you.

But will the install of iLife 11 retail DVD downgrade or effect negativly the already installed iLife package?
No, iDVD is tested on the latest Macintoshes.
I came to the conclusion that I need to find a copy of the iLife 11 Retail DVD to get iDVD installed, right??
Make a couple of phone calls.
iDVD is a “Must Have".   (Yes, it should be included.)
Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge.
800-692-7753
800-275-2273
Most people report that by asking here:   http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
or here:   http://www.apple.com/contact/
they got a free copy of iDVD.
If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.
