HT1338 Still have os x 10.5.8 How do I update to a newer version to run new itunes. And is it safe

Can I safely update to a newer version and if so which one. I currently am running os x 10.5.8 and can not load the new itunes for my sons new ipad mini. Don't want to mess up my computer by trying to download something that I can't

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 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.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

I am an Aperture user and I am tired of managing my old iphoto library seperately. In order to use the new combined aperture/iphoto abilities i need a newer version of iphoto. Apple says that the new iphoto is free, however my iphoto (version 8.1.2) did not update. How do i update iphoto so that i can use the library with Aperture?

iPhoto, iMovie and Garageband are free. However, you must be running Mavericks in order to download and use them. Mavericks is free also. Therefore your Mac must be capable of running Mavericks:
The following is from: Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mavericks.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iWork is not as it's an upgrade and not an update. Upgrades for iWork have always had to be purchased. However, the previous iWork apps will work fine with Mavericks.

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes?

Had to buy a new PC as the hard disk of the old one broke and lost all purchases, but still have them on the iPhone. How can I sync them back to the new PC in iTunes without losing them?

You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

Try updating it on your computer. If you get a message that your iPhone is up to date then you actually have an iPhone 4, not a 4s.
Settings > General > About > Model number. What does it show?

This is a concern amoung many corporate users. It's going to take somekind of policy change with apple.

I mistakenly deleted all browsers from my laptop in an attempt to start clean with the newest version of Firefox. I still have Firefox on my desktop. How can I copy it to my laptop?

I mistakenly deleted all browsers from my laptop in an attempt to start clean with the newest version of Firefox. I still have Firefox on my desktop. How can I copy it to my laptop?

Re-installing the Firefox browser is fairly easy. For most users the important part is the information held in the [[profiles|profile]] including bookmarks and passwords.
If you remove personal settings it is almost impossible to get them back. You can however [[what is firefox sync?|sync]] between computers, and that effectively clones your bookmarks etc.
If you have not already removed setting do not do so now, some of that info may be recoverable.

I have updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows the old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new ID name? Can anyone help?

I've updated my Apple ID, but iCloud under System Preferences on my iMac still shows my old Apple ID. How do I update it to show the new Apple ID?

Do you mean you changed your existing apple id to a new email address, still associated to your existing apple id?
If that's the case, just click the sign out button in the icloud preferences, and sign in with the new email address.
If you're actually created an entirely new apple id with your new email address, you'll have to do some exporting/importing.

I have a macbook OS X Version 10.4.11 how do I update to the new version

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion; a regular MacBook(not MacBook Pro) which shipped with 10.4.11 or earlier is incapable of running 10.8.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install? Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows. Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3. I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager. (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background. When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware. If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device. In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred. In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on. Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed. Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software. This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software. This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected. Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware. Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

Sorry, you can't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another Apple ID. You will have to update them using the ID used to originally obtain them.

My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine. We always manually manage our music (no auto sync). iTunes is up to date on the PCs. My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines. He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4. I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s. How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
Thanks
