How to update to Yosemite when I can't even purchase it?

So I just bought a MacBook pro from someone and I was trying to reinstall Mavericks. Found out I need Yosemite but I can't purchase it. Why?

Restart the computer and hold down the Command and R keys on startup. Go here and follow the instructions for a clearer description. You may need to reinstall the OS X that the Mac came with first. I cannot tell you this without knowing the model or year of the Mac. If you have never purchased Mavericks yourself, then you can no longer purchase it.
So what year/model is the Mac?

Firefox crashes on start up how do I get help when I can't even load it

Please can someone help me I am running Mozilla Firefox 7 but have been unable to even get to start it up. Every time I try I get a crash report box pop up but it doesn't tell me anything, it doesn't even have a crash ID. I can't even get it to load in safe mode and I can't even get the Firefox location bar up to submit anything about my crash so I am at a loss at what to try next. I have uninstalled then re-installed but to no avail, please can somebody help me !!?. If you need me to tell you anything else please don't hesitate to ask.

Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing.<br>
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport<br>
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it.<br>
http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem<br>
If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.<br>

Just updated to Yosemite and now can't open mail, or finder or others. That wheel,just goes round and round

i just updated to Yosemite and now can't open mail or finder or other apps. Wheel just goes round and round

I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

I am trying to manage family sharing and I get a warning "invalid apple ID" that accounts can participate in one Family at a time. How can I add my daughter when I can't even access my account?

I am trying to manage family sharing and I get a warning "invalid apple ID" accounts can participate in one Family at a time. How can I add my daughter when I can't even access my account?

Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account.

HT4972 I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help with me step by step instructions.

I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help me with step by step instructions.

iOS 4.2.1 suggests that you may have 2nd generation Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1
Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model. A quicker method may be to check the back casing. If your iPod has Model No.A 1288 etched into it, then it's a 2nd gen Touch.
Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes (today, that is 10.6.3), to check if your iPod can be updated, connect it to your iTunes and look on the Device/Summary pane. Select Check for Updates. If there is one, you will see a message telling you that and how to install it. However, if you see a message saying that your iPod is up-to-date, then it cannot be updated.

How to updating plugin.xml when it changed in 12C?

After Importing the Plug-in Archive and Deploying it on Management Service with 12C, I need to make a change with plugin.xml in Plug-in Archive. Here it's the change,
--- Old one:
<PluginAttributes Type="MP" ReleaseStatus="Test"/>
--- Change to:
<PluginAttributes Type="MP" DisplayName="MySQL Database" Category="Databases"/>
So I un-deployed Plug-in from Management Serbice, and used command "emcli import_update" to update the brand new OPAR file successfully, and the deployed again. But it seems the new plugin.xml didn't work at all, neither from UI nor the plugin.xml located under Management Server folder. I am sure it should work cause after I changed the Target Type and etc. in all related files to made a new plug-in, it works well.
So how to updating plugin.xml when it changed in 12C? (It seems there is no option with MRS.)
Thanks in advance!
Best wishes,
Satine

Hey Caroy,
Thank you for your help.
It seems there is no entrance within page "Setup->Extensibility->Self Update" to delete a plugin. Would you please tell me more specific position?
I will upgrade the version of plugin and try again to see if it works.
Thanks,
Satine

How deactivate Web premium CS4 when I can't get into my old computer (crashed)?

Hi,
At Adobe's website it says:
"What happens if my computer is stolen or damaged and cannot be repaired?
If your computer is stolen, damaged beyond repair or the hard drive is completely re-imaged, the activation will be lost. In either case you can install and start using the Adobe product on your new computer, which will automatically detect the problem if you already had two computers activated. The activation process will guide you through the new activation, even if the prior computer is no longer available."
My computer has crashed but Adobe has not detected this, so I can't install my program on my new computer. What do I do?
Thank you for answering! :-)

The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1. If you haven't upgraded to iOS 5.1.1, see the info below.
If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Have updated to yosemite and now can't import tiffs into illustrator

Have updated to yosemite and now can't import tiffs into illustrator. Help!

sued,
It is known that there are CS4/Yosemite issues.
For your issue, you may try to save your TIFF as a Photoshop .eps file and import that.
Or a rollback to Mavericks.

How to update the table when change list item in classic report

hi ,
i worked with apex 4.2 and i create normal classic report with one select list(named loved)Column ,now i want to update table when user change the list with new value ,i can't create dynamic action to do this,i create check box with primary key and loop for check item to update the table but i can't get the value of list item. and for more speed the user want to do this when change the list value.
my question
1- how to do this by javascript and get the value from list item and update the table with new value
2- is i must use API to create list item so i can get the value of item in report or what.
Thanks
Ahmed

I coded the following to give you direction:
1. In the "Element Attributes" section of the DEPTNO column, I call a javascript function as:
onchange = "javascript:updateTable(this);"2. I wrote a simple javascript function that shows an alert when the user changes the select list as:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function updateTable(pThis)
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
alert('Row# - '+ vRow + ' has the value - ' + pThis.value);
</script>Now, you can call a AJAX on-demand process inside the javascript function to update the database value.

HT4972 Tell me in simple terms how to update my iOS so I can add an app

I want to add Bridge Base Online app to my IPad but need to update iOS. How do I do this?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
You can no longer update to iOS 6.x, or down grade the iOS.

How to install iOS 6
http://www.macworld.com/article/2010061/hands-on-with-ios-6-installation.html
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and antivirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
Go into the iPad's Settings.
Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

How to update ALL records when inserting new image

I have categories and subcategories and they contain images. The images are in db with an order number, the lowest number is shown first on the website
When I insert images (i have a multiple image uploader) all order numbers need update. WHen I insert for exemple 4 images, these 4 image have order 1,2,3,4 and the order of images already in db (for that category) need to become current order number + 4 and I don't know how to do this.
Anyone that can point me in the right direction?
Bianca

I suggest a different approach.
If you are timestamping your db records, use that field to determine the order. However, a simple update query will work.
update yourtable
set field = field + 4
