HT1338 what if i have a 2008 OS, can i go straight to the most up to date OS

what if i have a 2008 OS, can i go straight to the most up to date OS

Any Macbook made after 2007 can be upgraded to the latest OS. 10.8
If you have the 2006 model (identifier is MacBook 1,1) it can only be upgraded to 10.6.8
1 To update to the latest, first you have to get to 10.6  by buying a retail DVD by over the phone  to an Apple Store.
2. Install 10.6 and software update to 10.6.8
3. online at the App Store, purchase 10.8

But it then says that i have the most up to date software, when i havnt updated my macbook in at least a year. What do i do because i cant even plug my iphone in to put music on or anything

    To see what version of OS X you are running go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac.

  • What's the most up-to-date OS my iMac can run?

    What's the most up-to-date OS my iMac can run?
    I have an early 2008 iMac 8.1 Intel Core Duo 2.8GHZ 320GB Hard Drive.
    I'm currently running 10.5.8 — could you advise the most advanced OS it can handle?
    Thanks

    You should be able to run the latest Mountain Lion - make sure to up your RAM (ML is a bit of a memory hog).

  • For unknown reasons iTunes will no longer open.  I have an HP laptop running windows 7 with Kaspersky protection.  It worked fine before but now won't open.  I tried downloading the most recent up-date and it will still not open.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply with additional information.
    Recent history for Premiere Elements points to the program having problems when more than 1 video card/graphics card is
    being used by the computer on which Premiere Elements is running. This observation may seem contra indicated by the fact
    that you say that the program did work well about 2 years ago in the same setup. But other factors may have set in with regard
    to drivers, drivers versions, and driver conflicts. But this factor, does need to be ruled in or out.
    Can you disable one or the other card to determine the impact of this on your problem?
    But, of prime concern with regard to video card/graphics card is the use of a NVIDIA GeForce card with Premiere Elements 10.
    Even if your NVIDIA GeForce were the only card, Premiere Elements 10 will not work properly unless the NVIDIA GeForce driver
    version is rolled back to about May 2013. This may be one of the major factors here.
    a. Device Manager/Display Adapters and find out Driver Version and Driver Date
    b. Read the background information for the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE10: NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    Also see the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the matter - also with full details of the situation and how to fix with the
    driver version roll back.
    Please review and consider and then we can decide what next.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On...This NVIDIA GeForce situation is specific for Premiere Elements 10. You should not expect to see the problem for
    later versions of Premiere Elements.

  • What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it. And i don't know what happens if i press restore?

    What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it.
    And i don't know what happens if i press restore?
    Will it show my back up and back it up or what?
    And if that does happen will all my pictures stil be there?
    Also i'm not on a apple computer.

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Either a PC or Mac work the same.
    The photos in our iPod's Camera Roll album will be restored as will the last 30 days of photos in our PhotoStream album

  • HT4623 Is this the most up to date article on up dating the iPhone - it there anything about the problems relating to the up date to OS 6 - my G3 no longer works and Apple seems to have gone to ground.  No Genius bar appointments available for a week!

    iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync.  Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1.  What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on?  From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

  • I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen?

    I am having trouble downloading an extension for flash, despite having the most up to date flash version for Adobe Manager Extension CC. What would cause this to happen? It says I need to have flash 7 or higher. I have the most update flash available according to my browsers.

    If you are using Flash Pro CC 2014, please update Extension Manager CC to 7.2.1. Then please confirm whether Flash is shown in the product panel of Extension Manager CC. If not, please refer to Re: Why can't I see InDesign CC in my Extension Manager CC.

  • I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it xtill says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this?

    I have a 3rd gen iPod touch and I downloaded the most recent itunes, ever since I did, only the first song syncs to the ipod. As soon as it gets to the second, it still says its syncing. However, nothing happens. How do I fix this? I have restored and updated the ipod. I have the new iTunes. I have restarted my computer checked the connection and everything.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • HT2736 Having emailed myself a gift voucher, I can't redeem the code. Everytime I try it tells me I need Itunes, but I have the most up to date version - help!

    Having emailed myself a gift voucher, I can't redeem the code
    Everytime I try via the email link, it keeps telling me I need to have Itunes
    I have the most up to date version, but nothing seems to allow the Pc (hp) to open it - can anybody help?

    If this page doesn't help then you will need to try contacting iTunes support (you will need to give them as much of the serial number and activation code from the card as you can read) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes

  • HT5654 I have a new iPhone 5s. When I try to sync it with my iTunes account it is unable and advises to update iTunes to version 11.1. Whn I attempted this iTunes advised that the current version I have (10.6.3) is the most up to date!

    If you're on a Mac, you need to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and then 10.6.8, which requires that it has an Intel CPU and at least 1GB of RAM.

  • Why do I keep getting an error "The new Java Plug-In requires a recent version of the Firefox Browser (Firefox 3 or later) I am using 3.6.13 and have the most up to date verison of Java according to their test site.

    I was getting this error on an older windows xp pro machine and now it is appearing on a brand new windows 7 professional machine. I have confirmed the most up to date version of Java.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    You can also try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

  • I just opened my mail on icloud and all messages disappeared from the last year! I have one email left in my inbox which is the most recent. I moved to icloud 2 weeks ago and it has been working fine until now. How can I retrieve old messages? Thank you.

    I guess you could try but I don't believe Apple can help with activation lock issues.  They may, however, be able to determine if the Apple ID belongs to one of you and reset the password for you if you can prove your identity.
    You might want to try calling Apple by going to https://expresslane.apple.com; click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'.  In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.  Perhaps they can help determine if it's your ID and reset the password for you (and they probably have more expertise in doing this than the Apple store).
