  • I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8 I need a portable external harddrive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?

    I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8
    I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?  I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in.  500GB should be more than adequate.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • Before updating the software om my iPhone 5 to iOS 7, it were possible when adding new contacts to mark them with 'iPhone, fax, mobile etc.' Now it is not possible to select iPhone anymore, does anyone have a solution or know what is wrong?

    Any one have a solution on my problem?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How long does it take to update the iPhone 4?

    How long does it take to update the iPhone 4?

        Interesting question, beachn! If I understand correctly, you're trying to see how long it will take to update the software/operating system of an iPhone 4. If that's the case, the during of a software update will depend greatly on the speed of your computer and/or your phone. I've seen the process vary from 4 minutes to an hour. If I did not understand correctly, please describe what you mean by update. Thanks!

    Forget the Pendrive stategy...
    Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
    you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    Also, Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
    It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM

    Sounds like you have an account, so two options I would say.
    Try turning it off, then off and see what options you get, or sync your phone to iTunes and click on the summary and choose the iCloud option.

  • Wanted to update the software now available, but it is asking for a pass code. As far as I remember in didn't put in any pass code , how do I settle this issue . Earlier updates were asking Apple ID but pass code for updating the new soft ware not known.

    Hello Kewal,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to perform an update.  I recommend trying to update using iTunes, and as always, it is a good idea to make a backup first.

  • How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29?

    How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29? How to change windows installation and ubuntu installation so they never update after FF 28 witch was last normal speed normal browser?
    Hello. I can easy remove on Windows FF 29 or FF 30 and its slower on fast computer. But its affected by millions of users. With FF 28 it was allways fast.
    Why fast? I dont know but its SLOW Now any version after FF 28.
    Since FF 29 FF loads and hangs very very slow each time loading, starting, or changing tabs. It is making problem for everyone and now everyone calls with help- "why computer is slow.. oh its FF? Chrome? Chrome was slow but now its not the slowest one?"
    Very colorfull Example- one comp is 10" and its very very very very low specs. So it wont run at all.
    Now on small comp we can try linux and FF BUT no matter what OS just couldnt get back with any plugins back normal speed. Since FF 29 its very very very slow and that needs to have a solution. Today came update and still unneded custom menu button and its slowness hasnt been removed (unnoticed) so it needs a fix so it works for people who are not just for browsing internet buying new computer and cant get any faster speed then Chrome since now theres no FF anymore.
    SO- How to do that on Windows and Linux- installing FF 28 and making it never upgrade
    OR even better- Making a package that already has this update disbled setting ON?
    p.s. Should you first ask people how they like slow browsers before making fast one to a slow one?
    p.p.s. i dont get how menu could be added by thouse who need it as an add-on ass allways and not presuring everyone who never touches any button.
    p.p.p.s. your business was beeing neutral ngo making browser for people and not for making cloged systems so new computers could be sold by some company advice or infiltrated mole who will suggest such unneded feature as any other addons, but sticking it in for everyone.

    Hello,
    You can download version 28 from here:

    Also, you'll have to disable auto updates to remain with version 28 by following the steps described in this support article:

  • 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 tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • I've restored manufacture settings on my iphone 4, but never updated the software. How do I unlock it now?

    I received my upgraded phone, so restored my manufacture settings on my old iphone 4 so that I could sell it.  I never updated the software on the iphone 4. The phone is now locked and just informs me to plug into itunes or make emergency call.  When I plug into itunes nothing happens.  How do i unlock it??
