HT1338 my auto update says i don't need to update but i need to update to 10.6

My auto update is not working.  I need to update my software and it thinks it is up to date.  I am only running 10.5, when it checks for new software it says I'm up to date.

Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x

  • My iPad says I don't need an update when I do.What's up?

    My iPad is crashing constantly. It says I don't need an update even though it is older - 5.1.1. I can't find a way to upload a newer version to see if that's the issue. Diagnostics at crash is telling me it's low on memory. Any suggestions as to the issue? The fix?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    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 anitvirus 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 Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • I have a new imac with imovie 11 however my hd everio camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9 how do i download imovie 9? all i can find are updates and my mac says i don't need it

    i have a new imac with imovie 11 however my everio hd camcorder will only work with imovie 8 or 9. i tried to download imovie 9 but my mac says i don't need the update. How can i download imovie 8 or 9 complete not the update?

    I really appreciate all your help. Today I spent some time on the problem. First I purchased  any video converter from the ap store and then I connected the camera to the mac with the original usb cable that came with the camera. I turned on the camera and selected backup on pc and the logo came up on my home page. I opened it and after several attempts i found the 3 video files that were on the camera. I then converted them from a tod file to mp4 and then transfered  them to imovie. Now I have to figure out how to send the video to youtube or move it to an external hard drive which I have not been able to do. So far I am not too fond of imovie 11. If you could send me  the download for imovie 6 I then could try that route. When talking to apple support yesterday about the problem they suggested to get Final Cut Express. It's 200 bucks so before i order the install disc i would like to try your suggestion. My email address is [email protected] Again I thank you very much for your help! George

  • I'm trying to upgrade 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro.  When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0. it says I don't need them.  When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade.

    I'm trying to upgrade Logoc Pro 9.0 academic version to 9.1.7 to use on a new MacBook pro.  When I try to do incremental upgrades to 9.0.1 or 9.0.2 it says I don't need them.  When I try to upgrade to 9.1.7 it says there is no version eligible to upgrade. This all on the older MacBook currentlu running 9.0.  But I need to upgrade to 9.1.7 to transfer it over tp the new MacBook w/ Retina display.

    I think I just got it.  I had the actual Logic Pro.app in a folder called Logic Pro inside the applications folder.  When I moved the actual app out of the folder and into applications it worked.  I am in the process of updating now.  However it seems a little strange because that's how it installed from the discs - into a folder named Logic Pro within the applications folder.  I would never have figured that out on my own.  So thanks for those who posted solutions to other users similar requests. 

  • HT4972 I am having trouble downloading iOS 5 connected to my laptop.  Says I don't have network connection but I do.

    I am having trouble downloading iOS 5 connected to my laptop.  Says I don't have network connection but I do.  Please help.  I purchased tv programs and it is telling me I need ios5 to watch and I downloaded it to cloud but have to have this app also.  On my iPad I don't have an updates button under settings like I have seen other iPads have.

    You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5 already. If you are trying to update to iOS 5, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
    Here are the instructions.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Or you can connect the iPad to the computer, launch iTunes. Select the iPad under the devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update

    If you are having problems with the download, try disabling your firewall and anti virus software until after the download completes.

  • Why does namcap say I don't need stuff I definitely do need?

    I have developed some bash scripts using ffmpeg, imagemagick's convert, yad, and lots of other tools that I had to explicitly install, but namcap claims I don't need to list any of those dependencies. It's called silentcast and makes it easy to create a variety of animated gif recordings of the screen. I haven't put it in the AUR yet because I'm still working on the README.md, but the package is basically ready for use and available on github: https://github.com/colinkeenan/silentcast/#silentcast. I created the animated gifs in that README.md with silentcast itself.
    Anyway, I was listing all the dependencies in a table in the README.md and realized I had missed a lot of stuff so added more. Then, still worried I had missed something, I read the wiki to find out how to test for missing dependencies and discovered namcap. First, I tried running namcap on PKGBUILD, but that didn't do anything. Next, I did a makepkg -s and ran namcap on the package just created. Here's what namcap has to say:
    namcap -i silentcast-1.0-1-any.pkg.tar.xz
    silentcast I: Script link detected (bash) in file ['usr/bin/genffcom', 'usr/bin/silentcast', 'usr/bin/temptoanim']

    silentcast I: Dependency covered by dependencies from link dependence (sh)
    silentcast I: Dependency covered by dependencies from link dependence (zlib)
    silentcast I: Depends as namcap sees them: depends=(bash python)
    So, namcap thinks I only need bash and python! This is crazy. All the stuff I listed as dependencies are explicitly called in the bash scripts or imported in the python script because they were needed in that script. Many of these I had to install myself and were certainly not included with bash and python! Why is namcap saying I don't need this stuff?
    It occurs to me that maybe I haven't properly created the PKGBUILD so that namcap thinks the dependencies are covered by installing the various included scripts. Do I have to somehow make it clear all those scripts ARE the package? Here is my PKGBUILD.

    colinkeenan wrote:The specific answer I was looking for and hoping namcap would give me had to do with xdg-open from the xdg-utils package. I use it to open the desktop's file-browser. On the Packages page for xdg-utils, optional dependencies are listed according to what desktop it's being run on. So, for example, I use Xfce and it lists 'exo' and 'xorg-xprop' as optional dependencies. I have no idea if those optional dependencies are actually required in order for my script to open the file-browser in Xfce.
    How can you not know?  Do you use exo or xprop in the script or not?  If you only use xdg-open, then only specify that as a dependency.  Users can then figure out which specific tools they wish to use to satisfy that dependency.  I use my own replacement for xdg-open, and if I wanted I could package it listing "xdg-open" in the provides array so your tool would then call my xdg-open replacement tool.  It's not up to you to worry about how other users chose to implement xdg-open unless your scripts depend on a specific implementation.
    Much the same could be bash.  If your script uses a bash hashbang, then bash is a dependency.  If you use a "sh" hashbang than any shell will do - but then you must use only posix shell commands and conditionals - there are a lot of "bashisms" that will not work in other shells (e.g. the [[ bash builtin for conditionals).  But even if bash is a dependency it does not need to  be listed: you should not list dependencies that are in base or base-devel.
    On a related question that you touched on in this thread, you do not need to list recursive dependencies.  If you list python modules that have python as a hard dependency, then you do not need to list python.  But just like the 'bashisms' example above, if you use a specific version of python (2.7 or 3) these are generally not compatible.  The modules might not care which python is installed to meet it's needs, but your script may require a specific implementation of python.  In such a case, you'd have to specify which python you used in addition to the python module(s).
    EDIT:
    Bear in mind I just whipped this up on the spot, and I have no idea how reliable it is - but in principle the following line should find dependencies for any script or anything else for that matter - provided that simply running the script/command will use everything that is required:
    pacman -Qqo $(strace ./script 2>&1 | awk '/^(open|stat|access)/ {sub(/[a-z]*\("/,"",$1); sub(/",/,"",$1); print $1}') 2>/dev/null | sort -u
    This is assuming the script is in the current working directory and named "script".  I'll put together a more flexible and useful version momentarily.

  • The iCloud says I don't have a storage but I do?

    Ok so I change my iPhone and when I was setting it
    The iCloud says I don't have a storage but
    Then when I got to it says I have 2 back ups but won't
    Let me get them what can I do?

    The tax depends on where you live. Sales tax on 19.99 could cause the app to be anywhere from 21.10 to 21.94, your balance is not enough for the total of the sale. If you edit your account and add your paypal or credit card info it will use that instead. Or go to the store and get a small iTunes gift card ($10) and add that to your account.

  • HT4437 U-verse says I don't need APPLE TV to use Air Show.  Apple instructions say I do.  Which is right?

    U-verse says I don't need APPLE TV to use Air Show.  Apple instructions say I do.  Which is right?

    If you mean AirPlay, you can only wirelessly stream video (either the iPad's screen or an app with video out) via an Apple TV or a computer running software such as Reflector or AirServer (the computer would be connected to the TV). There are other devices, including Apple's Airport Express and a number of third-party audio receivers and speaker sets, that can stream audio only.

  • I need a software update i still have 10.5.8 and it says i don't need to update

    I want to update to Mountain Lion and I can't figure out how.

    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE.

  • Need to update Itunes on my desktop to be compatible with my new Ipod.  Says I don't have administrator priviliges, but I am the administrator and am logged in as such!  Have tried 3 times...no idea what to do!

    I am getting a message that I can't use my new Ipod on my desktop until I download a new version of Itunes.  I have tried 3 times and each time it says that I do not have sufficient administrator priviliges to do this.  I am the administrator and am logged in as such!  I am at a loss and about to throw the thing!  Can anyone help me?

  • I have 10.6.8 and it says I don't need a software update, but for iMovie 11 you need 10.7.4, how can I downland an earlier version of iMovie that doesn't need 10.7.4?

    thoughts??

    You need to either buy a newer Mac OS X version or install iLife 11 from a DVD; if desired, contact the Mac App Store support.
