HT1338 I have a Mac Desk Top Computer OS X10.5.8. I have a new hp 7525 printer and need to upgrade. Can you help me do this online?
I have a new HP 7525 printer. I have a MAC desk top coputer. It has OS X 10.5.8. I need to upgrade so I can complete the install of my printer. Can I do this online(download a new system) I am also not sure if I need Snow Lepoard, or Mountin Lion. HELP!
You need to have Snow Leopard to get to Mountain Lion. ML is available for download from the Mac App Store.
The Snow Leopard (10.6.x) upgrade is available only on DVD from here;
For US; http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
For UK: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Update to 10.6.8 using the combo installer; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Snow Leopard 10.6 system requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB RAM (2GB or more preferred)
5GB available disc space
DVD drive for installation.
Lion is still only available from Phone Sales as far as I'm aware;
in the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant; they'll give you a download code to use in the Mac App Store.
UK sales; 0800 048 0408
If your Mac meets the requirements you can go straight to Mountain Lion from 10.6.8 using the App Store.
Lion 10.7 system requirements:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 or Xeon processer
2GB RAM (4GB minimum recommended)
OS 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available HD space
Mountain Lion system requirements;
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminium, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
And meet the same RAM and disc space requirements as Lion.
Many third party applications (and some Apple ones) may need updates for SL (Adobe particularly) and definitely will for Lion/Mountain Lion, so check with the vendors for compatability before you upgrade.
Also, while most legacy PPC apps that run in Leopard will also run in SL under Rosetta, they won't run at all in Lion/ML as Rosetta support has been dropped. That may include drivers for some older peripherals as well as apps like Appleworks or Office 2004 or earlier and many Adobe apps.
For what it's worth, I'd go to 10.6.8 and try the printer. If it works OK, stay there until you have a chance to try the newer OS on someone elses computer. It's not for everyone, as may be attested by the number of requests for info on rolling back to SL.

Hello pryan1012,
What this message means is that you have more music in your itunes library than there is free space in your ipod.
I had this same issue at one time. This is what helped me put my music on the ipod. I used manually manage.

i have os x 10.5.8 and need to upgrade to os x 10.6.8. What product do I need to upgrade to? I cant seem to find os x 10.6.8, I can only see OS X Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion, and I am not sure what is what, and if my machine (MacBook from 2008 running os x 10.5.8) is compatible or not. Please help! Thanks, Rob
Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

I am unable to download updates directly to iPad 2 , now trying to reinstall one from scratch but download keeps stopping and the restarting. Can you offer any advice, this happening when trying to download to laptop in itunes as well. Have tried to download on different broadband lines without success. Is this an apple problem due to high demand or something else?
Everything has worked well until about a month ago, up to date iOS 5 and itunes installed. Tried resetting numerous times, turned off all apps still no joy. Ipad was great but now feeling buying one was mistake. Also recent music purchase was useless and tunes would not play correctly.Since this is happening on the iPad and the computer, it might be worth a try to reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
Quit iTunes on the PC, reboot it and the iPad as well
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons -

I have a new hp 2050 printer and received a 10.0000 supply memory error message. Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it?
mickeymackey, this error looks similar to a related error code that I found for laserjets. Here is a summation of that error code:
http://goo.gl/W7dP6
This describes the problem as being a cartridge error, in which case I would follow the instructions in this document and see if that resolves the issue:
http://goo.gl/h6hWz
that does not resolve the issue, then I would recommend performing a hard reset of the printer. This would involve unplugging the printer for thirty seconds from both the back of the unit as well as from the outlet it is plugged into and then plugging the machine back in and powering it on.
A few additional questions are: Is this printer plugged into a surge protector, wall outlet or battery backup? The ink you are using, are they original HP cartriges or have they been refilled before?
Let me know! -

I have a new macBook Pro 15 and need to purchase best, easiest usb for backup - help please
I have a new MacBook Pro 15" and need to purchase the easiest, cost-effective USB for backup. I have never done a backup and don't know what to buy. Thanks much from an obvious novice.
Look at these two links to OWC products. Note that one is for enclosures only so an appropriate HDD would have to be added. This at least should give you an idea of what is available.
