    Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

    Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks".  Send it to the trash and delete it.  Then try the download again.

    About the only thing that "might" be able to do is upgrade the SSD. OWC sells SSD upgrades for that unit. You would have to contact Apple though to verify that no warranty issues would apply when making the upgrade.

  • How do I upgrade to  osx 10.6 from my 10.5.8

    how do I upgrade to  osx 10.6 from my 10.5.8

    Be sure the computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Then follow this procedure:
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD from Apple's Online Store - $29.00.
    Boot From The Snow Leopard Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    Follow the screen instructions for installing Snow Leopard.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

    You may qualify for the Up-to-Date Program if you bought your Mac from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 11, 2012.
    explains it all. If it does not meet the date above then you have to purchase it at $19.99 I think

  • Upgrade to osx snow leopard from 10.4.11

    I have heard that upgrading from 10.4.11 to snow leopard can be done, without the purchasing the useless 'box set', but my question is if i upgrade my os will i lose or keep all my programs, applications, documents and- most important- my music ??? also could someone please confirm that all i need to upgrade is the £25 osx snow leopard disk from apple ... cheers now ryan.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Ryan.
    Yes, you are correct about the the £25 upgrade DVD.
    No, you should not lose anything. But a good backup is always recommended, I prefer SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
    EDIT: If you want to check compatibility of your apps...

  • Network issue after upgrading to OSX 10.4 from 10.3.9

    After upgrading to 10.4 the network seemed to be working fine, internet works, mail works fine, but on the finder network menu I had some problems. Selecting the network menu brings up the menu and selecting network a folder displays named MyNetwork not local. All of the servers and other macs are shown in the next colu mn on the form. I cannot connect to them. Opening the icon for any of the nodes results in the message The alias to the "Node" cannot be opened because the original item cannot be found. This message box provides the option to fix alias, or delete the alias. The fix alias does not accomplish anything and the delete alias gives an error that I do not have the privileges to delete the "Node".
    I am fairly new to working with apple (2 weeks.). I am guessing that a file was not moved during the upgrade. I would like to learn how to correct this problem.

    Hi Tom, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    The fix alias does not accomplish anything...
    I've never heard of it working for anybody either!
    Try this, in Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, toggle off the Show Network Icon, Find the IP of the iMac in it's Network Pref Pane>TCP/IP tab. In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers..., then on the PB, type in afp://ip.of the iMac, like...
    afp://10.0.1.5
    afp://192.168.1.3
    (smb:// if PCs), if it connects then reboot, then toggle that setting back on.
    Where are we now?

  • HT4759 Before upgrading to OSX Mountain Lion from Lion, my mail and iCloud connections were fine. Now, the connection is almost non-existent (iCloud "connecting" forever,mail icon jumps). My network is good. Any solutions?

    Does anyone know how to eliminate the "jumping mail icon" that stems from iCloud not connecting correctly? I just upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion and before, everything was fine, but now the synch between iCloud and mail seems to be out of whack and the "connection doctor" doesn't help and nothing seems to get rid of the problem.

    If you are using filevault, you will need to first decrypt your files before being able to run the upgrade.

  • Is it possible to upgrade to OS X Yosemite from Mavericks if you don't have a recovery partition?

    For whatever reason I don't have a recovery partition (so if my hard drive dies I'll
    have to use internet recovery).
    That said, can I upgrade to OS X Yosemite without a pre-existing recovery partition?
    I'm running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5.
    Thanks for any advice and help.
    It is greatly appreciated.

    Yes. You don't need a Recovery HD to install OS X. You can create a Recovery HD if you wish: Recovery Partition Creator 3.8 – Updated for Mavericks | Musings.

  • Can i still upgrade to osx 10.5 from 10.4

    would like to upgrade to 10.5 so i can run some new PS and LR programs.
    How difficult is this processs and where would i go to purchase the software? I don't see it listed on the site. thanks, Owen

    Yes. It is called enforcement of their license agreement. It is called the piracy laws. Last I looked software piracy carried a very stiff penalty. You often can get Leopard for cheaper if you just call the Apple Store. The web based order system does not offer Leopard on Apple's store, but the phone based order line usually has it.

  • Is it possible to transfer my music and photos from my Ipad to my Mac?

    My Mac has recently been stolen and all my music and my photos are in my Ipad but as you know I cannot sinc my Ipad with my new Mac. Is there any way I can save all those files and transfer them to my new computer? Do iCloud or iTunes Match can help my?
    tnks
    Jorge

    You'll be able to save your photos, because there is no DRM issues with it.  As for your music, you're history. You cannot authorize iTunes Match from an iOS device, only from a Mac through iTunes.  However, whatever music you purchased from iTunes (going back many years, I found out) can be re-downloaded.  Anything you ripped is gone.
    If I might stick my nose into your business, I would strongly suggest you set up Time Machine with your new Mac, and have a back up of everything, including your media.  You don't want to lose those photos.
