HT1569 How can I download updates on Mac OSX, Version 10.7 1?
I have Mac OS X Version 10.7 1. Every time I try to update my software, I get this message: Downloading 5 items; Downloading Mac OS X Update Combined; 21.6 MB of 1.99 GB about 11,000 hours. However, nothing seems to download. Everything stays at 1%, and I have the computer on all day. I changed the energy setting to ensure the laptop stays awake and never goes to sleep. This way the laptop could stay connected to the internet and continue downloading. However, it’s not working. Please help.
Find the incomplete download (it's in your Downloads folder) and drag it to the Trash.
The computer should not go to sleep while a download is active, but if network activity stalls for a long time it might.
Try downloading the Lion Combined Update directly from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484

How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5?
Hi,
Can anyone help me on this problem?
How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5? They don't sync with each other. ThanksWelcome to Apple Discussions, Catwang!
You can use iTunes to sync the two devices. See the KB article, iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer and iTunes for Mac: sync contacts, calendar and other info.
If you want to use iCloud, your MacBook needs to use at least OS 10.7.4 or later. See Set up iCloud on all your Devices.

How can i download the new Mac OS X version 10.6.8?
how can i download the new Mac OS X version 10.6.8 so i can install the latest iTunes on to my 2007/08 mac desktop?
You must purchase Snow Leopard:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Before upgrading be sure you do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
Make a backup of your current system. -
How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?
how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?
You have four options that I know of.
1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you. -
how can i download photos from mac to other hard wear device
Depends on the actual device.
If it's an iOS device you can sync via iTunes.
Other devices: Export from iPhoto to the FInder and send them from there.

Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?
Hello,
Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
Best of luck. -

How can i download the new muse cc version?
Hi Vlokteam
You need to have a license to the current version of Muse - either as stand-alone or as part of Cloud CS6.
If you already do, just open Muse, go to the help menu, choose "Adobe Muse Private beta" and sign in.

How can I download to my mac a tv episode I bought on Apple TV 2?
I bought a TV Episode Season Pass on my Apple TV 2. I can watch it on it without any problems.
Now I want to download the episodes to my Mac, but I can't seem to find where to do that! I can just see a "buy" button for the episodes on iTunes Store. I thought it worked just like the App Store, where clicking again tells you have already bought it and will download it again, but unfortunately it charged me again for the episode.
So, how can I download a TV episode I have already bought on the Apple TV 2?Nevermind. I found it later.

The Safari browser on my iMac OSX 10.6.8 is no longer supported. How can I download and install a supported Safari browser?
If you’re running Safari 5.1.10, you need to either upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

How can I download the extended Middle Eastern version of inDesign, called "Tasmeem"?
Hello everyone,
I would love it if someone tells me how can I download the extended ME version of inDesign, it is called "Tasmeem" and it is made for Arabic Calligraphy.
thank you,
Rayan.Peter, Tasmeem is not just the regular ME edition of InDesign. I think
it is an InDesign extension published by Winsoft, the French company who
originally developed the Middle Eastern version of InDesign before Adobe
took it over.
So the OP should probably check out the Winsoft website to see if it's
still available, and for which versions of InDesign. -
