Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

How do I get my Apple ID off my daughters iPhone that I gave her as a present? She Can't update anything without it going to my Apple ID password entry screen.

I need to get my Apple ID off of my old iPhone 5. I gifted my old iPhone 5 to my daughter as I got the new iPhone 6. I of course have no problems but my daughter can't update anything really without the store telling her to enter my password for my Apple Id. This is my third iPhone and I have never run across this problem before due to the fact my iPhone was never in great condition (#1) or I lost it and had to go retool at a retail store (#2). If there is any help for a poor guy like me let me know I'm racking my brains trying to tackle this one and it's not looking good for me. Thanks for trying to lend your expertise everyone.

Right. To figure out which of the Updates is asking for your ID, do not click Update All. Click on each app, one at at time to Update (this would be under the Update option in the App Store - you will only see apps there with the Update next to them that actually have updates pending). If it asks for the password to your Apple ID, then that app should be deleted.
So, it is good that her ID is the one signed on to everything on the phone now. Once you delete the apps from the phone, then she will purchase new versions of those apps using the App Store on her device. When she does that, the app will be purchased with that ID (or if free, will be associated with that ID since it was the one that downloaded it).
If she is primarily concerned about her Line app and her photos but nothing else, then you can just press on one of the icons on each Home screens until they all wiggle, and then click on the little "x" in the upper left-hand corner of the icon to delete it. Core apps will not have an "x" since they cannot be deleted. So, just delete everything with an "x" except the Line app....
Cheers,

HT4484 I can't change the country of the billing address. Now I'm living in another country and I cancelled the account I had registered. Now I can't update anything and they don't let me change the data. What could I do?

Of course you can update now. BTW, how exactly did you cancel this, did you contact AST or what?

Why I can't updata anything in my iphone 6?

I can download anything in the app store but I can't update.

It need the password for my account, but after that it nothing happen.

Can't Update ANYTHING!

I have a MBP from around 2005. Ever since I updated to OS X v10.4.11, I haven't been able to update anything! It's been around a year and I'm fed up with it. I've tried downloading the same version again, and more up to date versions that are supposed to update everything, but nothing is working.
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi there,
I agree with S, get a retail version of the Snow Leopard. The 29 bills are nothing compared to what you will have, from Tiger to Snow Leopard you will feel in heaven and wonder why did you took so long to step up.
The Apple Store item is here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA&mco=MTc1MTEzNjY
Important is backup your files, search around documents for music libraries, picture libraries, downloads from browsers and e-mails, e-mail messages if you have a POP3 account in use and all around. Get - if you do not have - an USB or FireWire external disk and drag your hole /Users/YourUserName folder there as a prevention backup, this would duplicate most of selected files but is good to have the "just in case" prevention. Do not forget to backup third party applications, registration numbers and stuff.
Having a backup you can use the Install Disk Utility in the Utilities menu presented right before language choose to perform a Zero Out erase in your HDD.
Good luck.

Can't update ANYTHING as can't connect to server

Hi there
I have a second-hand macbook that works perfectly, except when it comes to updating software. For example, when updating Adobe, it appears in the download box but won't actually install. I get a message saying that I can't connect to the server, even though I am using the internet perfectly well. I now can't even sync my iPhone and iTunes as I can't update iTunes. How do I go about 'forcing' the download or changing the server safely?
Thank you!

Just go to settings and hit restart and it should let you watch purchased movies.

Changed password and I can't update anything or download anything on Ipad?

On my Ipad, for Itunes store or for any updates, I cannot access anything even though I changed my password twice and had it reset.
Why can't I update anything or download anything on my Ipad?

This honestly one big WAG:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I can't get rid of an old email that I set up apps on in the past. I don't have a password. I can't update anything.

I have an old email that I can't get rid of. Every time I try to install app updates it asks for my password (which I don't remember, and I don't have that email to receive anything). I have gone to settings in icloud and I only have my updated info. Help! I can't even play some of the games without doing an update.

Hi THIVELY,
Since applications from the app store are linked to the Apple ID - in this case your old email - used to purchase or obtain them, you will need to have the password to that Apple ID in order to update those apps. This article will tell you how to reset that password so you can continue to use that Apple ID -
If you forgot your Apple ID password
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

CAN NOT UPDATE ANYTHING ON THE MAC APP STORE?

When I try to update my apps it say's We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (20)
- I STILL HAVE UPDATES!
HELP!

Not the OP, but I've been having this problem since June (with the exact same error), and logging out and back in hasn't helped.
Helpfully, the store app opens a pop-up every 2 weeks or so to let me know that there are updates I can't access. It's super annoying.

I have a refurbished iPad (first one) I can't update anything because original owner's apple I'd and password still pops up. How do I change this?

I have tried updating, I can't get the original owners Apple I'd off and replace mine. How can I change mine to be the main?

Are there still apps installed by the original owner on the device? if so, each time an app update is initiated, it will prompt you for the password for the iTunes ID associated with the installed app. You will need to delete any apps associated with the previous owner's id and re-install them.

IPod Mini won't mount onto my desktop and so I can't update anything

I've tried a few of the 5 "R"s. Restarting my computer. Trying another USB port. Redownloading the latest iPod/iTunes software. I'm hesistant to do the total restore as that's going to erase everything on my beautiful Mini. It'll be a last resort. (Note: I'm not sure "restore" is the correct term although I'm sure it was the last thing Apple suggests. It basically resets your iPod to its original factory settings.) I've got another week or two of audiobooks to listen to before the situation is that desparate.
Anyway, it still charges when it's plugged in. Any ideas on what I should do next? This thing happened a few times temporarily in the past. I just restarted the computer and it worked fine. No such luck this time.
Thanks for any and all words of advice.

800Mhz eMac. Superdrive. 60Gig HD Mac OS X (10.4.5) iTunes 6.0.3 Mini purchased last spring-not sure what generation that makes it.

Did you check the iPod Support support… As a Mac
Users there are several topics about your problem…
How did you get your problem ? is it after updating
your iTunes software ? does you iPod work anyway ?
I hope you will be able to open this link :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93718-e
iPod Support-yes. There were a few posts similar to mine but nobody seems to have gotten a satifactory answer.
It just wouldn't mount on my desktop one day.
That I don't know. This could be the case. I don't really remember which updates I've done in the past month (besides the iTune/iPod update I recently did manually.)
The Mini works fine except for the not updating thing.
I had seen that article before but thank you anyway.
It's a mystery.....
