Cant update to 5.0 says firmware is not compatible. How do I get it to work
I am trying to update my software to 5.1 and it says it cant because my firmware is incompatible. What does that mean and how do I fix it?
If you have a 3G, iOS 5 is definitely not compatible. The latest version of iOS the 3G can run is 4.2.1

AS ABOVE
I believe that it was in sleep mode, but my old Mac didn't do this. When I came back to it after being in sleep mode, it would start right back up, none of this white screen delay before getting started.

I have an icon on my MAC desktop called disk utility. When I click it on it a message says it is not compatible with this version of OS X. Can I then delete this set of files?

I did upgrade and here is the current version: OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
I was able to get to and open disk utility through Application> utilities
I thought the disk utility icon on the desktop may be related to my old software. I was going to move it totrash but it had over 2000 files and so I did know if it was still being used or could be moved to trash.
What kind of files are in there? Sounds like a carry over from your last system. DiskUtility should only be kept in Utilities with a shortcut in the dock or an alias on the desktop, idealy.

How do I fix error message "this accessory is not compatible"?
My Iphone seems to have an accessory problem that just began a few days ago. It seems to show up when I am charging it. I have had this charger ever since I bought the phone and now it's not compatible. I can't afford a new charger, much less a new IPhone 4.
You should use an Apple charger and Apple cable. If you have the ones that came with the iPhone 4 from its Apple box, then there wouldn't be any charge. Otherwise, purchasing these accessories is considerably cheaper than purchasing a new iPhone.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always. -
How to update iPad when it says that it is updated.....and it's not.
I recently got a used iPad 2 from a friend and was really excited to start using it. But when I started using it and trying to download apps and such most of them said that they needed the iOs 6 or iOs 7. So I tried to update it by going to software and clicked update but it said 'iOs 5.1.1 is the most recent update' and same story when I plugged it into my computer and tried to update it on iTunes, it just said the same thing.
Does anyone know how to fix this so I can update my iPad?
A thousands thanks to all who take the time to help in anyway possible. :)Blodwen wrote:

Organizing by "time" from two different cameras?
In LR I know one can take say 1000 images that were shot by two different photographers and then adjust or set it to arrange all the images by time taken- thus not file name. Is there a way to do this in Aperture 3?
