I am trying to move from Mobile me to The Cloud which requires version OSX 7.1.  My version is 10.6.8 and is fully updated using the instructions provided on how to perform the transfer to the Cloud.  What do I do next to get to the 7.1?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If your computer meets the minimum requirements, you can purchase and download OS X 10.7 'Lion' from the Mac App Store online. It is also available on a flash drive at about double the price of the download.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/
Specs, minimum hardware requirements, and upgrade paths for OS X 10.7 'Lion' are also listed here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
Even though Lion runs in 2GB system RAM, 4GB or more is highly recommended.
Also be aware that Apple recently announced the next version of OS X, 10.8, called 'Mountain Lion', but no firm date for availability, other than 'coming this summer.'

  • I was asked to update my Foxfire which I did but at one point it said I would be prompted to move the Foxfire icon into the applications folder and I was never prompted to do so, therefore I do not know what to do next.

    The new Foxfire version was downloaded into my download folder but I was never prompted, as it said I would be , so move the Foxfire icon into the applications folder. Therefore I do not know where the process stands. It old icon in my dock upgraded or has nothing happeded. It seems as if the process somehow just stopped in the middle.

    Outside of the contact number for that you've already used I don't know another way of direct contact. Here are some things that they may or may not of had you try that might help you. If you will go to the settings app and pick general on the right-hand side you will see accessibility. Within that you can adjust a text size make the text bowl you can also increase the contrast. You can also adjust the brightness and control panel.
    As for Siri again in the settings app under general you should see Siri on the right-hand side with the switch to turn it on. If that is turned on and you're still having issues
    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. 
    Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

  • When I try to authorize my computer for the Ipad, Itunes tells me that I have authorized 5 computers already. Today I have De-authorized ALL and I still get this message. I don't know what to do next.

    I de-authorized ALL, but when I plug my ipad in and try to back it up, Itunes tells me that my account has been used on too many computers. This is the only apple device that does that. I have several (phones, touch, etc). Because of this I tunes tells me that I will loose all content on the I pad as well as apps. Why is this happening. Apple has some of the least helpful tech support of any computer oriented company I have ever used. Why I should have to pay for this poor service, I am uncertain. I seems like I can just upgrade the OS to 7 but I would rather not loose the content or have to write eveything down that is on it now just to reload it all after. Maybe I am reading this all wrong. Please let me know.

    Not it. Thanks. I tried it, so thanks for the tip, but I get the same error message. That I need to authorize this computer to get the purchases. I guess it's not really an error message. But It will not let me proceed any further. Once again I have deauthorized and this is the only computer that is authorized for this account.
    Then
    Then and last
    Pretty annoying. Any ideas?

  • I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. I don't know what to do.

    I have the MacBook OS X 10.5.8, 2.4 GHz, 2 GB. I have been backing up my photos to an external hard drive since I purchased it. I usually choose the photos, copy and paste them to the EHD. It has started saying "an item named "unnamed.jpg" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving? Don't replace/Stop/Replace". I don't know what to do.

    Thanks Jim, I kind of thought that was the answer, but was hoping against hope that I was just missing something. Like I said, it's not a big problem. One work around I've found is to name a folder on the external hard drive the same as the name I give the folder to import to and then choose this folder to back up to. I still get a subfolder inside that folder named Imported on...... but at least it's in the folder with my chosen name.
    Thanks again,

    The first step is to try this Microsoft fixit:

    If that doesn't work we will have to try something more complicated. It is a could not open file error message from the installer.

  • I Do Not Know What To Do Next

    I Have a iPad mini. Apple has downloaded my iPad to my iMac then reset -  my iPad continually freezes on me. I do not buy apps.  Two were bought for communication while son in hospital. 8 times yesterday morning so gave up.  I have computers since black and white days and this to me is a waste of money sitting here.

    I think the problem is that as the error message says, you don't have enough network interfaces available.
    The installation process creates a network bridge and therefore you need 3 network interfaces: eth0 ist for management access, eth1 and eth2 are the ports for the bridge (an IP will not be assigned for these two interfaces) and at last the br0 interface. When you don't provide enough interfaces during the installation process, the bridge will not be configured and this could be the problem.

  • Since iOS 8 came out, my iPad Air with iOS 7.1.2 is slow on wifi searches. Is this the way to for me to update? After reading the common threads, I do not want to upgrade yet. Is there another solution?

    What is wrong with this picture? We are forced to vent on forums and rely on other users to find answers to our problems. Obviously, after reading other posts, we all suffer from poor quality controls before release of upgrades and new "toys"! I have an iPad Air replacing an iPad 1st Gen bought on the first day of release. Was happy until iOS 7 was introduced. Since then, many frozen screens on the web, unexpected shut downs for reboot. No, it is not full, as I have over 70gigs available. I close my apps regularly so they don't run in the background. NOW, since the release of iOS 8, my wifi connection is slow like ****, to almost not working. And I haven't even ungraded to iOS 8! Is this Apple's new way to force me to upgrade? My iPhone 4S is faster, although I have to change it. No battery life, regular unexpected shutdowns. JUST WRITING THIS POST IS PAINFULL: at one point, I was only able to erase text by backing up... No editing possible, no new typing either... As if I was monitered and they did not agree with my text. So weird... Anyways it is back now. As I was saying, need to change phone, but I am afraid to buy  the 6 with iOS 8.
    SO, here are my questions: what can i do for my iPad Air connectivity issues? And between an iOS 7 iPhone 5S and iOS 8 iPhone 6, what to choose?

    If you don't like to be helped by other users that volunteer their time to help other users, then go to your nearest Apple store, and talk to a Genius there at the bar. Call up Apple Support. There are ways to get direct Apple Support. These forums are here to help out those who want help. Not for those who just want to vent.

    The iPad Air shipped with iOS 7 from factory, so not sure what that means.   it worked with 7 but then it did not?
    Whatever is going on with your iPad now, is completely unrelated to the release of iOS 8. Apple does not tamper with the devices to force you to update. In fact you don't even have to update at all.   I know people still using iOs 6 because they like it.
    Personally I updated my iPad 2, an iPad Mini, and my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and have experience none of the issues that seem to plague people.  Should i automatically assume the update is flawless?  No, but I also don't assume that Apple is causing issues to my devices remotely. That is just ludicrously ridiculous.
    The forum software here does have many issues. It also ironically enough doesn't get along with iPads very well for some reason, but Apple has nothing to do with that.  Jive, the makers of the forum software provide it to Apple and maintain it as well. If there are issues with the forum software we report them to them, and they try to fix them.
    With that said, apple sold over 10 million iPhone 6s on launch, have you seen anywhere near that many complaints about it?
    In a pool of devices that large there's bound to be issues, but its still a very very small percentage of users having any issues at all let alone device breaking ones which are even less.
    Good luck finding another Technology company that has a percentage of issues as low as Apple has in a pool of devices as large as the one Apple manages.
    As a final point, what have you tried to solve the slowness and other issues you are experiencing.  Sometimes software suffers bugs. If resetting the device has not fixed this perhaps a restore may work out.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

    CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it.  I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps).  So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens.  What next?

    Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier.  Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier.  You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

  • After updating iOS, I only see a black screen on my iPad asking for a 4 digits passcode, I've tried severeal times and now every time I try I get this message "Ipad dissable wait 60 min... I do not know what to do???

    Howdy mendjes25,
    It sounds like you’ve recently updated your iPad and now it’s disabled because the passcode you’re entering isn’t being accepted. I can imagine that would be frustrating. Take a look at the article linked below, it describes the alert you’re seeing and provides the possible resolutions for that issue.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    I hope this helps,

    Hey KEBENNETT, 
    It sounds like you've restored Windows on your PC and iTunes is no longer opening and running normally. 
    I'd recommend using the instructions found at step 4 and 5 in this article to repair or remove/reinstall your iTunes installation:
