HT1338 upgrade mac os 10.8 to Mavericks

When I tried to upgrade mac os 10.8 to Mavericks, I got this message: Apple ID creation is not currently available on the Mac App Store. Please explain.

Thanks, Ho Lee, but it didn't work.
I have an apple ID. When I try to set an account with Apple Store. I got stuck with this message. "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID." When It ried to use an Apple ID associated with this email address, I got the above message as shown in my first post. I'm so confused.

How do I find in the "Mac App Store" the authorize --my computer to do an upgrade on the newest imovie in Maverick? MacBook Pro 15' 10.9.2

How do I find in the "Mac App Store" the authorize --my computer to do an upgrade on the newest imovie in Maverick? MacBook Pro 15' 10.9.2. Thank you!

He shouldn't have done that. Now you have a pirated version of iMovie on your Mac that you will never be able to update. The MAS Terms of Use do not allow that type of sharing. His Apple ID is encoded in the copy on your Mac and you can't change that.
Legally you should delete the app.
Your Mac should have come with the iLife apps pre-installed, why did he do that?

Hello Miss Moo,
If I upgraded to 10.5, would any of the problems such as misplaced files and apps, etc. in Tiger 10.4.11 interfere with the upgrade.
If it's Apple Apps, like Safari, Mail, etc., then there will be new versions to replace all the missing files/components.
The Mac OS X Installer stops with 2 minutes remaining and it can't finish copying the disc.
How much free space is on your Hard Drive?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Were any errors reported?
That second Disc thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.

If i upgrade Mac OS X mavericks,they will erase the application i installed

if i upgrade Mac OS X mavericks,they will erase the application i installed

You then will have to determine how important that application to you and if there is a replacement version that runs under Mavericks.
There is an alternative that you might consider which is partitioning your HDD with one for Snow Leopard and the other for Mavericks. To execute this in the best possible way may require a larger HDD for your MBP. HDDs are now available up to 1.5 TB in capacity.
Ciao.

Upgrade Mac OS X Mavericks

if i upgrade Mac OS X mavericks,they will erase the application i installed ?

always backup vital data before ANY big OS install. But no, even then your data is NOT erased with Mavericks.
You backup your data due to safety, of course. Always have a backup, preferably 2 of your important data, regardless, and certainly before a large OS install.

HT1338 How do I upgrade Mac OS X Tiger?

How do I upgrade Mac OS X Tiger?

Note the 867 Mhz or higher (1 Ghz is higher) is necessary for 10.5.
Note 10.5 also gets rid of Classic, the compatibility for Mac OS 9.
Note 10.6 to 10.6.8 can be upgraded to 10.7 or 10.8 as long as you have a Core2Duo minimum. 10.7 or later are not compatible with Rosetta, the Mac OS X tool that lets pre-2006 software run on newer machines. For more on each, see these tips on 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8.
If you meet the requirements after purchasing the 10.6 installer CD.
10.4.4 through 10.5.8 can be upgraded directly to 10.6.3 to 10.6.6 to 10.7 to 10.7.5
10.4.4 through 10.5.8 can be upgraded directly to 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 to 10.8 to 10.8.4
10.7 & 10.8 are separate purchases, and can be downloaded from the Mac App Store once you are at 10.6.6 or 10.6.8 minimum depending on where you are at.

Installing InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks

Installation of InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
This question is Not Answered.
s c perks Oct 14, 2014 6:04 AM
1. I have InDesign CS3, which I bought about 6 years ago, and installed on my MacBook Pro. I have now got a new Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I bought the machine I asked Apple if I would be able to install my InDesign and they said there would be no problem. But it will not install. The intsllation fails every time near the end. It installs Bridge and one other components, both of which it calls shared components. But InDesign is not installed.
I went to the Adobe web site and looked up what to do. I got to a page that had my product on and it seemed to be telling make I must download an installer. When I clicked on this link, however I got a page with the following message:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
I do not know what to do now.
2. If I do download an installer (I did not need to do this when I first installed the programme on my lap top MacBook Pro 6 years ago, but just installed it from the disc), how do I get rid of the downloader afterwards, since I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that I should get rid of the installer afterwards but that I should not put it in the trash bin?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Stephen Perks

Many thanks for your help. I will try this. After posting this question yesterday I contacted Adobe and was astonished to find that they do not sell InDesign and do not support it and that one can only upgrade to monthly or yearly rental of CreativeCloud. I'm afraid for me this is nonsense, and I consider it very bad practice on Adobe's part. I will have to go to QuarkExpress instead if I cannot install Indesign CS3, which I nearly did do 6 years ago, but after reading such good reviews of InDesign and got it. I wish now I'd got Quark! I appreciate your help.

Upgraded from 10.6.8 to Mavericks last week on my MacBook Pro running the 2.4 GHz i5 and it's painfully slow on start-up- I mean, 5 minutes or more, to be fully functional... Is this normal?

Upgraded from 10.6.8 to Mavericks last week on my MacBook Pro running the 2.4 GHz i5 and it's painfully slow on start-up- I mean, 5 minutes or more, to be fully functional... Is this normal?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Anyone got an idea on how to fix the problem?

I have 8GB ram on a late 2009 MacBook Pro, which has weathered good times and bad.
Reboots are killing me. It seems every root program has to do its thing all over again. (The same is true of my more recent MB Air, but of course, it has only a couple RAM that can't be built up, so the effect is less pronounced.)
I also note -- having "upgraded" to Mavericks directly from Snow Leopard -- that iCloud slows everything down. My Contacts (formerly Address Book, a perfectly good name) are atrocious, always requiring some sort of dishing information in and out with iCloud and ... well, it's just not pleasurable.
But this is progress, right? At least the battery lasts longer to compensate for more wait time.

Is CanoScan 8400F scanner compatible with Mac OS 10.9.2 (Mavericks)?

Is CanoScan 8400F scanner compatible with Mac OS 10.9.2 (Mavericks)?

This is not true. I've been using my 8400F with Mavericks since it was released. However, mine was an upgrade from 10.8, so whatever drivers Canon installed when I bought the scanner several years ago continues to work. And my new Mac Pro that I used Migration Assistant with also works with the scanner. However, the other Mac Pro that was a clean install can't see the scanner and Canon's site claims there are no drivers.

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks.

Will Quicken 2005 Mac work in OS X Mavericks ?

Will Quicken 2005 Mac work in OS X Mavericks ?
I currently have OS X 10.6.8 & would like to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. I'm using Quicken 2005 Mac & it meets my needs, so would like to keep it. I looked at the newer versions of Quicken & also iBank 4, but they're significantly inferior in features & reports. Comments & suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

I believe Quicken for Mac 2005 is a PowerPC application and therefore will not work on OS X Mavericks.
