HT1338 i have ios 10.5.8 and just downloaded ios 10.6.8 and it won't install. What's wrong?

Do I have to install 10.6 first?

You need to install Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.6.3 from a retail DVD first; these are available at the online Apple Store.

I got my disk for my g4 it's the OS X 10.3.3 and it won't install what do I need to do? Please help

I need help

To further identify the iBook G4 may help to discover if the computer has issues, or if the DVD install disc (or CDs, if early model) are good, is one of the first items to consider. To be sure what we're looking at...
Do you have access to the serial number* of the computer? It may be on the outside of the case in hard-to-read lettering by the model number & where it says Apple Computer, usually nearer the hinge where the display attaches to the bottom case.
With that, you could *lookup the build model year and original specs as shipped from a site such as this: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
This would tell quite a bit. You could also enter a model or sales order number in such a search to see if it comes up with information; but that would be wide and not conclusive to find what One you have... which may be this one: An Early 2004 model.
IF your model number or order number is among those in the following series, the iBook G4 may a second build-model G4
Model Number
A1054
Order Number
M9426LL/A (12-inch), M9418LL/A (14-inch 1 GHz), M9419LL/A (14-inch 1.2 GHz)
•At what point does the iBook G4 fail to utilize the install-restore DVD or CD disc? Do you hold C key down on startup with the disc already in the optical drive bay? Is the power adapter attached since you don't want to rely on questionable battery reserves when attempting to diagnose, test, repair, or install software.
What other computer are you using to be online, and does it have a FireWire port? This could be used to troubleshoot the other computer in Target Disk Mode, at least see if the hard disk drive is OK or not. A second computer may also be able to test that iBook HDD to see if it is repairable.
•Is that an 1.0GHz or 1.2GHz iBook G4? (second model) -- If so, then:
Original OS
Mac OS X 10.3.3 (7G51)
Later OS
Mac OS X 10.3.4 (7L46)
Maximum OS
Mac OS X 10.5.8
Hardware Test
AHT (iBook) 2.2.1, 2.5
The install-restore disc may have the build number (7G51) on Disc #1.
The Panther OS X 10.3.x disc, is that a grey-label one? There are numbers and other information on those to be able to identify what else is important to know, such as the computer they were intended for; not all grey install discs 'for iBook' will work, as each build series and model year had changes, & often different discs.
Older portable computers are tough on hard disk drives, so that one may be worn and unstable, failing, etc.
Anyway, more information is needed in order to decide what one could do in that matter, and what you know about troubleshooting, and if the Panther disc is a grey one, if the computer is the correct one for the Disc, etc. I think the info I have from MacTracker is close to what you have...
Hopefully you can verify some information
where the most I can do is try & guess...
Good luck & happy computing!

Software update 2.0 bricked my iPod and it won't restore, what is wrong?

OK, I did a fresh restore this morning to remove Jailbreak from my iPod. That worked fine and everything was perfect.
And I got home tonight and plugged in my iPod and it immediately told me that I could buy version 2.0, so I went ahead and bought it. After it downloaded it installed, it was hung on the "Preparing your iPod for software restore" for over an hour, it only took 30 seconds on this step before. So I unplugged it. When I put it into restore mode to try installign it again, it says it can't restore my iPod for an unknown reason.
Now what?

But this morning I did a full restore with version 1.1.4 and it took the Jailbreak off, because I was only using one application from it and the new App Store has a even better app.
So when I bought the update there was no Jailbreak on it. It still somehow can "tell" it was there? Isen't that what a restore is supposed to do "restore to factory settings"?

HT3743 Every time I open the app injustice my iPod gives me a message that says: " Warning, this device is not officially supported. You may experience low performance and instability." I have never jail broken my iPod and I don't know what's wrong. Ideas

I have a new MAC MINI and I want to install a second monitor. I have one connected to the HDMI and it works. I can't get a signal to the other one. It is connected from the thunderbolt to its HDMI port. How can I make it work?

Could be a bad cable or bad Thunderbolt port.
You have 90 days of free telephone support on a new device. You can call them at 1-800-MY-APPLE. Have your Mini's serial number handy
You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have a new mail update and it won't even open, and now I can't use the old mail app either.

I have a new mail upgrade and it won't even open. How do I fix this?

You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when opening the program to digitize new clips for new project. i have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what to disable.

How can I stop iMovie from making thumbnails of clips from past projects when first opening the program to digitize new clips for a new project. It takes forever for it and is very annoying. I have looked in the preferences and couldn't figure out what would disable this problem.

You do not need to move your cursor much when pressing the mouse button to cause the tab to tear-off/tear-away into a new tab. No "sensitivity" setting that I am aware of. The tab in the new window can be dragged back to the original window.
To disable the feature, install this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug489729-disable-detach-and-t/
*Read the information on the above page
*Set options for the add-on: Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to the specific Extension (the 2 options are defined/explained in the above page).

How full is your drive? You need at least 10/15% of free space.

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app from the app store and it says that I can open it while I'm in the App Store however, it won't open and the app icon is not anywhere on my actual screen. What can I do to fix this?

Hi, I have an iPhone 5s. I just downloaded the Hulu Plus app for my iPhone and in the app store it's as I can open it however when I hit open, it does not open in fact, nothing happens. Also there is no icon for Hulu Plus on my home screen so I'm confused as to what exactly to do I'm going to settings and there's only one thing that you can do which is reset. I tried that. nothing.

Have you restarted your phone?
If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

I have a Olympus C-3000 and it won't read in the new iphoto. It reads in my old version on my older computer. Is there a driver I need or something else?

Yes, different computers, different OS's, as stated, does not work on any machine except PPC.
Nothing in console logs. Does not show up in USB under system profiler.
Level 1 tech support. "May be this" or "may be that", but all a waste of time unless someone has the actual camera and can independently verify my results.
If it were just a matter of it happening on one machine that would be one thing. The fact that it only does not work on Intel based machines (and thus Snow Leopard and Lion) it is a pretty good indicator that something is missing in the OS.

Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions. I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

I was setting up an iPad Mini and it updated my iMac's OS. It reverted to 2011 and I have lost emails, desktop data and Adobe won't let me in to software. Help!

I was setting up an iPad Mini and it updated my iMac's OS. It reverted to 2011 and I have lost emails, desktop data and Adobe won't let me in to software. Help!

The iPad was plugged into the iMac to transfer apps etc and asked to update the macs OS. The result is that the last 12 months of emails have gone ( emails not working) as have whatever files were on the desktop. The calendar has also reverted to 2011.
Worse still is adobe software I use for work won't let me open.
Any ideas?

I'm downloading from Itunes and have come across error = 404 and 403. Anyone know what this is? Corrupted file maybe?

I'm downloading from Itunes and have come across error = 404 and 403. Anyone know what this is? Corrupted file maybe?

It means that iTunes looked for something on the iTunes Store servers and either it wasn't there(404) or the iTunes Store servers denied access to it(403). These can't be resolved at your end.

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

I have just got an iMac 21" and it continuously freezes when it goes to sleep and also when the internet is trying to load, i have tried three different browsers but it still does it (safari, google chrome and firefox), does anyone know what is wrong?

To fix the freezing when sleeping problem go to System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'Computer Sleep' to 'Never'. It seems there is a problem for some with Bluetooth failing to wake after sleep. This fixes it 100% for me and many others on here, until Apple issue a software update to address it.
Not sure what to suggest on the internet problem. I assume you are connected and receive and send emails OK.
Edit: To try to troubleshoot the internet issue maybe try turning the Firewall off: System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Firewall tab.
