HT1338 It says there is no updates for my mac, but I do not have the newest version. It is needed for my new iphone 5.

Why wont my Macbook update? It says there are no updates but I am not running the most current update.

No upgrade to the next version of OS X has ever been free.
Updates to the version you are already running are free.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • I got a new PC; when trying to sync my iPad I downloaded iTunes onto the PC; got a message that my iPad did not have the newest version of iTunes, would I like to update my iPad; I clicked yes then; since then my iPad is stuck in restore and may lose all

    Tried to sync iPad to new PC; got message that iPad did not have most current iTunes and would I like to update; selected update; got an error message saying a file was corrupt; iPad stuck in restore mode; no pictures transferred to PC; Apple Store Tech said only solution is to restore factory settings to my iPad but this will cause me to lose hundreds of precious and irreplaceable photos and videos; HELP?

    You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

  • The Add-Ons Manager is supposed to auto update your add-ons but it is not detecting the latest version of Adobe flash player. Why is it not detecting the update?

    I have Adobe flash player version 10.2.152.32 installed and Adobe has released version 10.2.3.1 so why is the add-ons manager not detecting that an update is available?

    Adobe Flash is not an add-on, it's a plug-in and you have to use the Plug-in Check to check for updates:

  • I did the software update on my mac, but i still dont have the "App Store" in the dock :(

    i really need the app store

    i just did that a minute ago.. got sidetracked and played chess, but its not there. My friend said something about lepoard... also does it help if i said im running on 10.5.8?
    The Mac App Store requires a minimum of 10.6.6 to run, if you are running Leopard you need to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade. The upgrade is $29 and available from any authorized Apple Reseller or directly from Apple. No you cannot download it, you must purchase the dvd.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can purchase Lion from the Mac App Store. You will need to meet the requirements for Lion, but the Mac App Store will tell you whether your Mac is capable of running Lion or not.

  • Cc app manager says there is an update for Photoshop - aborts at 56%

    I wrote up my issue and then it never posted since it sent me to a different page. 
    The short version:  cc app manager says there is an update for Photoshop.  I try to download and 56% of the way through the process it aborts and the sequence since get to ‘contact customer service’.  And yes, I’ve tried reloading 4 times with the same result (the definition of insanity, or insanity-making in this instance).  And here I am now.

  • Hourly popup saying there's an update for my AirPort Extreme, when all of my AirPort devices are running the latest firmware. Any fix?

    I keep getting a popup saying there's an update for my Airport Extreme, but all of my Airport devices (I have the Extreme, which is one of the original cone-shaped ones, as my base station, two Time Capsules running in bridge mode connected by Ethernet, and an Airport Express [original model] connected via wireless) are running the most recent firmware for each device.
    It's harmless but extremely annoying. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried re-uploading the firmware to all four Airport devices, but it didn't help. Is there any way to turn off the automatic checking? It's obviously not working right in any case.

    I assume that you have already done the basic things like powering off the entire network and restarting.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities >  AirPort Utility 
    Select the AirPort Extreme, and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab located below the row of icons
    Click Options near the bottom of the next window
    Remove the check mark next to "Check for firmware updates"
    Click Done, then click Update and wait for the AirPort Extreme to restart.

  • I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this?

    I tried getting the update for my new iphone and now it is asking me to activate it again but won't let me, how do I fix this? I had started using it for a few hours and tried getting the update and now it won't let me activate the phone. I also can't call the helpline because it won't let me leave this screen on the phone that says "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes." What it says on iTunes after I fill out the activation info is "There was a problem activating your iPhone. Please contact Verizon Wireless at 1-800-922-0204 to have this iPhone added to your account. Click Continue to be able to explore its features and the App Store." Please help this is driving me nuts!

  • When I installed the newest update it said some of the features were incompatible with this version of Firfox yet when Firfox starts it says I have the newest version.

    I got a new update. I installed it and it said that some of the features were not installed because they incompatible with this version of Fire. I figured "Okay" and continued. When Firefox opened it said I have the "Newest" version. Great, then how come some of the features are not compatible with the "Newest" version. That makes no sense!

    It is possible that because of changes made to firefox, some other software used with Firefox may no longer be compatibile (for example some toolbars) or it is possible the software may work with Firefox, but the software does not recognise the version of Firefox.
    First of all check the add-ons are up-to-date. Downloading, installing and using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Add-on] may help to allow such Add-ons to be run for testing, and hopefully some may actually work.

    If you are having problems, please state the full name and the version number of any add-on or plugin software that is causing a problem.

    Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

    I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
    Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility?  That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
    Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
    Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says.  Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
    The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
