  • Why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks

    why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks?  I do not know what month it was built.  I bought it as a refurbished by Apple a few months ago.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space

    Do a backup before installing.
    Your iMovie and iPhoto data should be good, but you will have to upgrade the applications.
    If you decide the upgrade isn't worth it, you can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
    Snow Leopard iCloud –  iCal

  • Why cant I upgrade?

    I've been trying for a week now to upgrade my BB to unlimited as currently on 10gig limit and always ending paying extra. However I keep getting the message that this package is not available when choosing the clearly advertised unlimited option for £18p/m?? Is really getting on my nerves now and am looking at other providers although would rather not go through the hassle of changing. I am not a phone person so dont want to call up, just want to know why I cant to it online??
    Anyone else had this problem and how did you rectify it?
    Cheers

    To upgrade follow these links.
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25633&s_cid=con_ppc_m...
    They might tell you this deal is for new customers only and that an existing customer has to upgrade via this link
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=27281
    which costs more but I'm sure if you haggle with them and point out that you are a loyal customer and will stay loyal at least for the length of the contract they will do a deal.

  • Why cant i upgrade my IOS

    i want to know how to Upgrade my Ipod Touch's IOS

    An  MC540ll is a 4G iPod.
    you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Why cant I upgrade my I touch 3G 8gig to iOS 5 ?

    You really have a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1. 3G iPod swere only made in 32 and 64 GB models. See:

    Sorry.

  • HT5794 why cant you upgrade from logic pro 9 to x

    not fair

    People should stop whining about that.
    Apple stated it a while a go that it's the new AppStore policy.Idem with iWork and pages and all.
    Now apps are all the price of upgrade and voilà. That's it.
    I read that comment many hundred times and can't understand how people can continue to ask for this. It's a 200$ upgrade already.
    Also, a few persons mentionned contacting apple and received a refund for logic 9 when bought within a few months of logic X release.
    So that's totally fair.
    Cubase 750$ and pro-tools 699$ that is unfair, I'd own them too if I could afford it.

  • Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time?

    I read all the manuals,I swear.
    I make film collage and want to do multiple layer exposures of different clips.
    So far I just have two video tracks-
    Why cant I see BOTH video tracks at the same time,I mean each track will create another layer,or exposure that will both play back viewable simultaneously right ?Or would that be considered "layering"?
    Does this have anything to do with the source vs. destination thing ?

    FCE plays back video tracks in a "top-down" manner: that is what's on track 3 obscures what's on track 2 which obscures what's on track 1. You can control scale, position and opacity of each clip on each track so that you can get the layering you seem to be after.

  • Why cant i download 10.8

    why cant i upgrade to os 10.8.1,or 10.8.2?

    That means that you are using an Apple ID created for a different country than the App Store you are using, so you have two possibilities:
    1. Press the flag at the bottom right of the App Store and change the App Store to the country where you created the Apple ID.
    2. Create a new Apple ID on the country what the App Store you are using now is designed

  • HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al
