HT1557 why am i not able to update itunes 10.6.3 on my MacBook pro, for me to backup my ios7 phone

i have been trying to update itunes 10.6.3 on my MacBook pro, for me to backup my ios7 phone,i keep getting a message saying ( unable to update ), yet its no problem old windows computers, HELP PLEASE.

iTunes 10.6.3 is the latest iTunes version for Mac OS X 10.5.8.
iOS 7 devices require iTunes 11, which needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer. Make a backup of your files with Time Machine, buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard from the Apple Online Store, insert the DVD and upgrade.
After upgrading, you can download 10.6.8 from the Apple website or just from Software Update. Then, if you want, you can upgrade to OS X Mavericks for free from the App Store

  • I am not able to update iPhoto, iMovie and garageband on my macbook pro. these three apps came installed with ilife suite.

    I am unable to update iphoto, imovie, and Garageband on my Macbook Pro.  I understand that these apps are part of ilife suite.  Purchased Macbook at Best Buy January 2012.  All software is updated.  I recieve message asking me to sign into account that I purchased these apps from.  I am signed in , however I did not purchase these apps they came on Macbook.  I also tried deleting Garageband and re-installing it. Now Garageband says accept but Macbook will not accept.  Anyone else have this problem and were you able to resolve it.

    The fact that they were preinstalled is why they are supposed to appear in the Purchased pane, in a temporary area labeled Purchases, for you to accept. Not doing so soon after you got the Mac has messed this process up.
    To get things back on track properly try these steps;
    Updating Pre-installed iLife apps -
    1 - Log out and quit iTunes and the Mac App Store (MAS)
    2 - Go to System Prefs/Users & Groups/~user/Password and enter the Apple ID connected to your iTunes/Mac App Store account. Close Sys Prefs
    3 - Delete /Mac HD/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
    4 - Reboot your Mac
    5 - Open Mac App Store
    6 - Go to the Purchased pane and Accept the three iLife apps. Enter iTunes/MAS username/password if prompted.

    I have a mac os x 10.6 and don't know why I am not able to update to '09. Help please!

    It is, but only when installed from an iWork 09 DVD(places such as Amazon and eBay may sell these) and not from the Mac App Store.

  • Why am i not able to update my 5800XM to fw v40?

    hi i hav nokia 5800XM wid firmware v 30.0.011 whenever i try to update my phone it shows no updates available why am i not able to update my phone? my phone's code is 0575590

    updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points if ur product code hasn't the v.40 update, that means that nokia didn't release it for your product code yet or your phone is branded with an operator and that means that you should go to the operator care center
    -you can show appreciation to my posts if it helped or useful by pressing the green Kudo star beside my post that hepled

  • HT4623 why am I not able to update my os to ios7,

    Why am I not able to update to ios7?

    Could be several reasons, the first being not enough available memory.  You also could be trying to update on a computer where iTunes is not up to the required release.  You could be having trouble accessing a very busy server.  Point being ...you need to say a little more about your specific problem to receive helpful advice.

    Hi. I am not able to update the Adobe Flash Player on my MackBook Pro. The problem I am getting is a blank page for Step3. Can someone help please?

    If you already have an older version of Flash Player, open the Preference pane and select Check Now... under the Update portion under the General tab:
    You shouldn't have to install a new version from the website (I'm not even sure if you can) if you've already installed Flash Player.

  • I am not able to update iTunes keeps popping up message saying no free disk space I checked and there is enough to support the upgrade but I cant figure out why it wont let me. Help anyone!

    So heres the deal, I updated my iphone and in order to put any music on it or even ringtones I have to have the most updated version of iTunes, unfortunately my macbook wont allow the update, I do have a lot of pictures and song stored on here but I have no documents I have deleted everything the only thing left on here is what the macbook came with. I checked and it says that I have enough memory so is there another reason I cant update. When I try and check for the update option in iTunes it says its up to date but I have version 10 something so I know its old, I haven't been able to update anything on here. Do I have to take it to the store or is there something that I can fix on my own because my warranty is up and I have nothing but problems when I go into an actual apple store.

    If you want to try to clear even more disk space see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5872318?tstart=0

  • Why am I not able to mark "in" and "out" points in Final Cut Pro 6?

    I have a bunch of old tapes that I am trying to put on my computer.  I have Final Cut Pro 6 and everything hooks up nicely except I am not able to mark in and out points or use capture now.  Does anyone out there know why that would be the case?
    I appreciate any help I can get.

    What VTR? How is it controlled?
    What are your capture settings? Firewire Protocol?

  • Why can I not upload any images from my iPhone 4 to my Macbook Pro? Please help!

    Hi all,
    I'm pretty much tearing my hair out with this one, I don't know what to do - I simply cannot upload any photos from iPhone 4 to Macbook Pro.
    This problem appeared out of the blue. I am trying to upload to iPhoto - not working. I have clearing the cache - not working. Tried the Dropbox app - not working and the option has now disappeared altogether. Tried Image Capture - not working. I went and had my iPhone replaced altogether - still not working. I thought it might be a problem with my iPhone or a problem with the back-ups or sometthing so I plugged in my boyfriend's to scope it out - still not working. I have restarted all devices many times. I have read through posts and posts about this and cannot find an answer.
    iPhoto says: unreadable files - unrecognized format - not true!!
    Image Capture just says there is an error importing.
    Any help would be much appreciated - it's driving me mad!
    Thank you!

    I am assuming it's not a problem with the iPhone has I have tried several iPhones and had the same problem.

  • Why am I not able to update my software thru PCCompanion

    I am having trouble updating my Xperia X10 software, would someone please give me an idea as to why and is there a resolution to this issue?
    Cheers,

    Hi.
    I'm having trouble updating the software on my X8 also, I've already made a thread on it in the X8 topic area and haven't recieved much in the way of help.
    http://talk.sonyericsson.com/thread/10538
    I've tried bot PC companion (where the download mever starts, instead I jsut recieve "download error: check your internet connection") and the Update software (which is never able to detect the product).
    I've emailed support about it, to whihc I recieved an email basically telling me how to update rather than offering any sort of support.
    What trouble are you having exactly?

  • HT1766 why am i not able to update my apps (even the free ones)without putting in a credit card number

    it says that a my credit card info has to be updated to update my apps puchased and free ..im sick of apple everything costs money i guess even to update spps ive already paid for.

    When you set up your Apple ID, did you set your account up with a credit card? If so, it probably needs to be updated. It is not that they are wanting to charge you for an update, it has to do with your account. Log into your Apple ID account and update the payment information.

  • Why am I not able to  get a break down of my off peak minutes for my calls made to Mexico?

    I have the Nationwide Mexico Plan. I have unlimited nights and
    weekend calls for the United States and a 1000 minute limit for Mexico. I always check my minutes by *611, #646 or My Verizon. Why is there never an estimate of how many minutes I use calling Mexico? Why is it that, not even a customer service rep can give me an estimate of the minutes I have used calling Mexico ? If I have a limit, I should be able to get an estimate of how many minutes I am using . Maybe Verizon expects me to go on My Verizon and calculate it myself with calculator, the primitive way. I am very disappointed with Verizon. Verizon is suppose to be the best. Why is there no email address for me to email a person with any issues I have with this service. Will my issue be resolved? Will anybody ever answer me? Is this discussion group going to help me with my problem? Will I have to report Verizon to the FCC.

    Being a college graduate, I am sure you are aware this is a "forum" and NOT a "chat room".
    As to contacting the BBB or FCC, I was not aware the FCC required Verizon to give you a "breakdown" or summary of your Mexico minutes separated from the rest of your minutes. I guess you learn something new every day.
    You say your minutes are available in your MyVerizon but they are just not listed as "Mexico" minutes. Instead of using a calculator, you could download your usage into an Excel spreadsheet and then sort them by area code. Seems to be an easier way than adding up each individual call. Good luck.
