HT1338 my computer wont update at all what do i do

my macbook is not finding any updates at all its a 13-inch the version on it right now is a 10.4.11 i need a 10.5.1 were can i find that

If you want to upgrade to 10.5 you will have to buy it secondhand somewhere.
Your MacBook could also run 10.6 and THAT is still available for purchase from Apple stores, but be quick for when 10.8 becomes available ... new product has a tendency to push older stuff off the shelves.
10.6 is very similar to 10.5 so that is probably the easist path for you to take.

    I have a first generation MacBook Air that has been refurbished via the Apple store. I installed Snow Leopard about a year ago and now, my computer wont update! It will download the updates restart my computer, but then I get an error message and the computer wont restart!

    What is a error message and what do you see when it appears?
    Haven't much problem with Airs around here, since they have a SSD they tend to be more reliable.
    Perhaps it was a bad update, have you ran through this list of possible fixes?
    Do as many as possible, starting with #1. Until the problem is resolved.
    Use the boot 10.6 USB instead of the disk of course.

  • My ipod 4g wont update at all

    On all my friends iPods in the general settings, it let's them have a system update, that is not on my iPod. Also when I sync my iPod into the computer no matter what I do, there is no option for a system update. So is my iPod broken or something? I would really like to know because I can't download or update anything because it all requires iOS 5 which I can't get.

    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows

    my computer is having pop ups what do i do

    Need more info. You posted in the OS X 10.3 and below forum. Your profile lists you have a Mac Pro, but a Mac Pro can't rum OS 10.3
    What Mac do you have and what OS X version is it running?
    What are you calling "pop ups"?

  • My computer wont update itunes & and show all my music?

    Alright, so I opened my itunes after awhile since I first downloaded it (new user). A pop up said there was a new version but I dismissed it. I then was looking at my itunes, and there was NOTHING in my library. I was confused seeing as when I first downloaded it, with my account everything showed up that was also on my phone. I clicked around and still coundnt find anything. I then decided that maybe it wasnt showing me my music because I decided not to update. So then I tried to find out how to update, and then I ended up just downloading itunes again? I then checked again and found the alt and help button. However... when I click check for update it gives me an update, I press download... and nothing happens?! I dont understand why? I went through my account information and it said I had nine downloads, I down loaded them... but its only 4 albums, and just pieces from each?

    See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
    See also the Further Information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required. Updating iTunes won't fix any issues with your library, but the links should help if want to ensure you are properly updated to the current version.

  • Got a new hard drive now computer wont update my ipod

    I had to get a new hard drive and have managed to get all of my old music back into itunes but my computer does not read my ipod and has not updated the new music that I have purchased thru itunes or music I have downloaded from a disc since installing the new hard drive. I have re-installed my ipod software from the disc with no results.... HELP!!! My Mini now has no music on it because I reformatted it when prompted to do so when reinstalling the software... I am so frustrated, please advise???

    I have to admit that your reply seems as though it would work, but I am not sure exactly what your reply means, can you respond to me like I am an idiot and spell it out for me??? I am having a great laugh at myself right now, but if you tell me exactly what to do, I am sure I can figure it out. I did put the disc that came with my mini, I even uninstalled itunes all together and reinstalled it but that did nothing to help the cause... still getting the same response that my software is not "installed properly"

  • My iphone is stuck on ios 6 as the screen, it wont update or anything what do i do?

    my phone is stuck on ios 6 as the screen and im trying to update and trying to restore but it wont work . what do i do ?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT201210 my iphone 4 wont update, no matter what i try

    I'vw tried getting the new ios 7 update, but nothing works for my iphone 4. What should I do?

    Just have to give it some time. The download, activation, and verification servers are all slammed right now 'cause of all the people trying to update at the same time. Give it a couple hours (or overnight if you can wait) and it should sort itself out.

  • My iphone 3g 3.1.3 wont update at all?

    Hi ive got an iphone 3g 16gb its on firmware 3.1.3.
    Ive been trying since i got it to update it through itunes but it just wont let me.Ive downloaded through itunes 4.2.1 and tryed to install it but it gets to near the end and get error code 1015? i only thought you got errors when putting custom firmware on.
    Anyways ive download 4.1 and 4.0 for 3g and done the hold shift and install for both and get error again.Ive gone into the host file and added 74.208.249 gs.apple.com to get past the error codes and still getting error codes.
    please someone help me ive tried so many times and all i want to do is update to latest firmware im not even bothered about jailbreaking it,my phone is unlocked anyways so dont need unlock or out.
    cheers :-)

    If you still like using your iPhone 3G do not upgrade. The phone will shortly turn into a slow/ unhappy device.
    iPhone 3G has 128mb of RAM where the 3GS has 256mb of ram and a slightly fast processor so it an handle newer IOS versions easier. You only have to download a memory app to see how much ram you have left with general use on the 3G (on 3.1.3).

  • My computer wont update

    I am trying to update my the most recent software for my Macbook Pro. I click the update button, click to 'restart' my computer, and then when it turns back on, it doesnt update. It asks me to start the whole process over so I just continue to restart my computer w/o it ever updating. Any help on how to fix this and update would be appreciated!

    Please clarify.
    Update from what? To what? Which model of MacBook Pro?

  • Computer Wont Respond at all to ipod!!

    I have had the 5th gen ipod video 30gb for about 5 months now with no problem i recently downloaded itunes 7 like most people and my ipod would not respond to itunes then i pluged it into my wall adapter and the hardrive just clicked on and off untill the ipod wouldnt respond to anything eventually. I brought it to my local apple store and got a new one i come home today and now the brand new ipod is not responding when i plug it into my computer at all. I know a lot of people are having problems but i would love to have some help on this. Also i've tried disk mode and a lot of other things i've read here on the message board so any suggestions on at least getting itunes or my computer to respond to the ipod.

    If the battery has run down completely, you will need to leave it connected to power for a while before any signs of life appear, say thirty minutes. Have you left it that long?

    I just bought my iphone 4 a few weeks ago from a friend and now the lock button/power button is unresponsive. It worked fine when i bought it, and i havent dropped the phone or gotten it wet at all! what do i do?

    You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I have a feeling the switch is broken and you will have to get it serviced.

  • When I go to charge my phone I have to wiggle the charger or prop the charger so it will charge. I went to charge it tonight, now it wont charge at all. what do I do? is it fixable or do I have to get a new phone?

    someone help me! my windows phone won't charge. I have had to prop the charge or wiggle the charger for it to charge. Now it won't charge at all/ fixable? or do I need a new phone?

    You could purchase this Nokia Wireless Charging Cover - Verizon Wireless and this Amazon.com: Nokia DT-900 Wireless Charging Plate - Retail Packaging - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories to charge your phone, but i think you should request a replacement or if you don't want to pay Verizon, ebay has them for like $70 refurbished.
