Nothing special. You must havethe app store app installed in 10.6.8. Find Mavericks in the app store. Downloadit. It will take a while (5.31GB) and install thi installer ion your applications folder. Then you can proceed at your leisure.
Check hard disk space, permissions, apple-ID, retry.

HT5621 I have changed my apple id on the manage my apple id page. For some reason, the id didn't change on my macbook air. My iCloud still registered my old email id and I can't get it to recognize my correct id. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

I can no longer get Twitter to work with FireFox. I use 3.6.21. It loads first thing but when I try to refresh to get new tweets it just spins and won't load. If I try a new tab it won't load at all.

I guess the question explains it all. Twitter will not reload all the tab does is spin. It's been spinning since noon ET today with no luck. New tabs don't work either, just says waiting for Twitter. If I close the browser entirely it does work properly for a while but not for long. Can someone help me out?

I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

TS4268 i have the iphone 5. I updated to iOS 7 but I had this problem before I updated the software, too. I can send MMS (text messages with pictures) but I cannot receive them. I can receive reg text msgs. Just not pics. Any ideas?

I have iphone 5. Updated to new software a few days ago, but I was having this issue before the update and the update did not resolve the issue.
I can send and receive regular text messages. I can send MMS (photos, videos, etc) but I CANNOT RECEIVE photos in texts. I have read several trouble shooting suggestions, but so far no resolution. Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks!

You cannot update iPhone 4 to IOS 8.1.2, the highest you can update is IOS 7.1.2.
Unless you've iPhone 4S (looks similar to iPhone 4)

After using various retouch tools, Aperture often returns to the original image and I can't get my retouched image back....any ideas?

After using various retouch tools on an image, Aperture often (but not always) spontaneously returns to the orginal image and I have to start all over again.....this seems to happen most often after I use the clone tool. Is this a new bug or what? It just started happening a few weeks ago.

I fond the answer. Inexplicably,some of the song tracks, the 'deepest' files in the structure, had become hidden. There was no clear pattern - most of my music files come from CDs, with a small number of legal downloads (mostly from iTunes). So although the artist and album folders were not hidden, if there were no unhidden song files in the album folder, apparently iTunes skipped the artist.
Changing the attributes of all music files to unhidden took care of everything.

Hello,
I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC (together with the Apps) doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

Hi I have just got back from the apple store and the guy at the Genius bar looked at it and said it was a manufacturing fault, and because it has been like it since new, and seemed to be getting worse he replaced the computer and I have a new warranty from today.
We got the feeling as soon as he looked at it that he has seen this before, I did say to him I was concerned it would be a replacement screen and I was not really happy about that as it was so new, and he said that was the normal procedure, but as the fault was already there at new and it was getting worse they would replace. I could not have asked for a better service.
Not unpacked this one yet but am hoping all is good, its a great little machine.
Thank you for your responses, and I hope this might help someone else. One thing it did not seem to be missing pixels but something to do with the screen production?

Hello milkisoo,
Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused.
As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment. However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear. This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order, resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed. Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
Thank you for posting.

Using iPad first generation I downloaded my 1st rental movie from iTunes. Says on a grey button "Downloaded." How do I PLAY the movie on the iPad? I clicked the "downloaded" button but nothing happened. Do I need a special app to play the movie? Than you.

I am unable to initiate a video chat on facebook from a pc to a new ipad mini. Is this possible and do I need a special app on my iPad?

I am unable to initiate a video chat on facebook from a pc to a new ipad mini. Is this possible and do I need a special app on my iPad? Receivew a message on the PC after request a video chat with the iPad that the connection is too slow and the iPad does not show an incoming video. JMaruje

A Mac Mini s a computer you can use with the iPad.
YO do not need a computer fro backup since yo can backup to iCloud.
However, sometimes software glitches occur and require connecting the device to a compute to restore vi iTuunes.
You can control a computer via an iPod with an app like TeamViewer or LogMeIn. There are others too.
You can also use an iPad a a SECONDAY monitor for a computer. with other apps.
You need a dedicated monitor, keyboard and mouse to setup the Mini. You can use a PC USB mouse and keyboard.

TS3899 I just installed the latest software update on my iPhone this weekend (9/22/12), and now I can't get email. I've restarted and closed all my apps to no avail. I'm able to get email on my laptop, so it's not a problem with my provider. Any ideas?

Originally we were getting the error that the phone could not connect. Then, after deleting the account multiple times and re-adding it again, the error message CHANGED to having to log in to Yahoo and authorize.
When we went to Yahoo in a regular browser and logged in there was an alert telling us about connection attempts so it disabled mobile/iphone connectivity. It required that we change our password FIRST.
Then, we went in to Manage Apps and Webpages and saw that iPhone was not there but Facebook was.
After all of this went back to the phone and deleted then re-added the account again and SUCCESS!
It now also shows up on the Yahoo Manage Apps and Webpages.
Hope this helps someone else. Please consider giving me points if it does or like the post.

Are you on WiFi or 3G? If WiFi, when I've had this happen, first I go to Settings & turn WiFi off. Wait a minute, then turn it back on. Usually fixes things.

Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
I just finished another "experiment".
I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
Thanks
Jakob Peterhänsel wrote:
All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

When powering off my iPod touch, any application (facebook, viber etc)installed using App Store won't work again

How to solve this issue?

Try a hard reset first. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If still no luck, try downloading and installing a new app from the App Store. Doing so has cleared the issue up for several users.
