HT204350 I have an older Mac 07 that needs to be updated the apple store left our town, I've been trying to do free down load but not working any advice?

Hi, I have a older Mac early 07 I think, I'm trying to update it online since our apple store closed in our town. Can anyone advise me on what I would need to do since the maverick free upgrade didn't seem to work. Is there an earlier program that I missed? I had gone thru a couple of brain surgeries so I might of missed some things. Thanks

First, have you confirmed that your Mac is compatible with Mavericks? Here are the compatible models:
•     iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
•     MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
•     MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
•     MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
•     Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
•     Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
•     Xserve (Early 2009)
so an early 2007 Mac of any type would not be compatible. If you'll run the System Profiler app (in the Applications/Utilties folder) and tell us what is says for the Model Identifier in the Hardware Overview, we can confirm what model of Mac you have.
Regards.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

my mac is running slow, the spinning beach ball constantly appears. it seems that when i am in the apple store with fast wifi its a bit better. genius at the apple store checked the hard drive, it's all fine. what can it be? can it be a software issue with the wifi?
also i noted that it has only been doing this since quite recently, before it was fine
please help!

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
Step 1
This diagnostic procedure will query the log for messages that may indicate a system issue. It changes nothing, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|find tok|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|timed? ?o' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key.
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty. If the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window) has anything in it, stop here and post it — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the TextEdit window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
Step 2
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Reset the System Management Controller.
Run Software Update. If there's a firmware update, install it.
If you're booting from an aftermarket SSD, see whether there's a firmware update for it.
If you have a portable computer, check the cycle count of the battery. It may be due for replacement.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane. See whether there's any change.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
If you have a MacBook Pro with dual graphics, disable automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saverpreference pane for better performance at the cost of shorter battery life.
Step 3
When you notice the problem, launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the View menu or the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for User, System, and Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the Memory tab. What value is shown in the bottom part of the window for Swap used?
Next, select the Disk tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in andWrites out.)
Step 4
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

When i go to the app store to update the one app that needs to be updated, the screen is blank. It used to list all the apps that need updating and have a button called update all. Now nothing. Just a blank screen.

There's been a problem with this all day. Seems to be a server problem - wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

I purchased Lion and installed it my first Mac. I then went back to the apple store using my laptop to install Lion. Under purchases it tells me I have no purchases. What am I doing wrong?

Another option is to DL with the first Mac and save a copy of the installer app. Then, just copy it to the other machines and stop wasting resources DLing for each machine.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all media and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

A reset has nothing to do with Internet access or data access.
A reset is simply pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
What are you really trying to do?

I have lines going on my screen, when i went into the apple store the guy at the genius bar was clueless as to the problem. i havent dropped it. help?

hello, i have a line growing on my screen that is getting worse. it looks like a centipede. i have been to the apple store and the guy i spoke to had no idea what was causing it. the phone still works but i am concerned that it is getting bigger. any help?

OK. so it's not dead pixels. How old is the phone? (some carriers will allow an upgrade more frequently than once a year... if it's less than a year old, the genius should have just replaced it for you, so I'm guessing it's not under warranty any more. I know the out of warranty price for an iPhone 4 is $199. Don't know if that applies to the 3Gs as well off hand.
A quick google search looks like you can get the parts and replace the display assembly or have it repaired for you (which I would think would be the smarter option) for between $50 and $100.
I know NOTHING about the company this link leads to, but the price seems reasonable... Do your homework first. If it gets to the point where it's unacceptable to you, I'd check into it. http://www.iphone3gscreenrepair.com/product_info.php?products_id=108

HT1695 My iPhone 5 will not connect to my home wireless connection. My ipad works fine. Now the forget this network and renew lease buttons are gone. I have several things. Now it won't even sync to iTunes. Do I need to go to the apple store?

Phone will not connect to wireless. It's been giving me no service this week too. The apple store is 45 minutes away and I really don't want to go. Do I need to go there?

Have you reset the phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up? Then if that doesnt work, you need to restore your phone in itunes first from your backup, then if still not, then fron as new.

TS1567 I cannot upgrade my ipad as advised at the apple store by doing it via itunes. I keep getting told Mobile Device Service not there... It is on Automatic. Have reinstalled Itunes and AMDS.... Help please.

I have been to the Apple Store and been advised to upgrade my ipad2 with all since my purchase last year I need to go to Itunes on my computer, go to check, and click and all should upgrade. Not so easy, have had no success. Have reinstalled itunes, restarted my ipad and tried again.
Please help

Why don't you take a different approach like take it off of automatic and restart it on your own and then see if you can update the iPad?

You may also want to consider uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes and the AMDS - starting over from scratch.
