  • Locked-out: "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed

    Absolute rookie move. Bought a Mac Mini server (June 2012 model) on E-bay and it came with the previous owner's log-in account still on it. Tried to re-install 10.6 server software with the CDs that came with it but  got the message "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed". Any advice on how I can fix this? I'm hoping I didn't buy a brick that I can't do anything with.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    What OS X software is installed on the box?  OS X, or OS X Server?
    If it's a newer OS X version and you want OS X Server from the installer disks, wipe the disk and reinstall.
    Officially, it's not likely that a recent Mac Mini Server would even officially support something as old as OS X Server 10.6; here's the list of the minimum versions (HT1159) — I don't see a June 2012 model, the closest to that acquisition date would probably be a mid-2011 Mac Mini or Mac Mini Server model, and those require OS X or OS X Server 10.7, or later.
    OS X 10.7 also didn't usually arrive with DVD disks, so that may be an old DVD from some other box.
    To confirm the Mac Mini model, see  > About This Mac > More Info...

    Mac OS X does not offer a Clean install option.    If by clean install you mean erasing the system, that is not recommended unless:
    1. You bought a used/refurbished Mac and there is software on it without any accompanying discs, and it is older than July 20, 2011 in model release:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
    Or if it is at or newer, then erase it if it has applications installed that would not have been prebundled with it and you have no CDs for those applications.
    You don't want someone else's software keys, or accounts, or to be running unlicensed software.  At and newer Macs offer a built-in internet restore for their software with a command-R boot that lets you erase the system with Disk Utility, and then install from the internet the latest operating system.
    2. You have a hardware issue and want to eliminate possible software issues as the cause when troubleshooting a problem all at once.
    Issues affecting a new install have to be isolated before you attempt it.   Unless you know it is software or hardware, erasing may only mask other problems.

  • Can i upgrade to version edge without having to get a new phone?

    can i upgrade to version edge without having to get a new phone?
    i am currently running 4 iphones on my account. i want to only upgrade 2 out of the 4 phones. am i able to get all the phones on edge with only upgrading two of the 4 phones?

        Hello ernestleo!
    I'd be happy to clarify. Verizon Edge is a payment plan for your phones, so you would need to upgrade to put any line on this plan. However, it is completely fine to only upgrade 2 phones with Edge, and leave the other lines alone for the time being. You can find out more about Edge here: http://vz.to/1hJFHzr .

  • I have an iPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying a new iPod touch?

    I have an IPod touch 2nd gen. Can I upgrade to a higher gen w/o buying another IPod touch? I have an iPhone4 which I love but don't want to get rid of the IPod touch.

    No but they usually have one every year. If I had know Id get a free ipod 2 years ago when I bought mine if I got a macbook I wouldve ditched the PC and purchased a macbook and got an ipod as well, it was more of a sarcastic remark and heads up for future possible promotions that seem to be routine, than an actual statement.
    PS: if your looking to upgrade and dont know what to do with your old one Id recommend recycle program apple has- 10%off purchase of a new one when you recycle old ipod touch with apple.

  • I have an iPhone 3 8gig with iOS 4.2.1 can i upgrade it to iOS 4 or 5

    Hi there,
    I have an iPhone 3 8gig with an operating system of 4.2.1 but want to up grade it.  When I'm connected to iTunes it gives me the option to upgrade but it always says that it's up to date.  I rang apple supprot and they advised me that it was possible to upgrade to another operating system and the operator had to go and ask when she came back I was advised to retore my phone, which took about 4 hours, and then restroe to back up and then it should upgrade but it didn't work,  it still has the same operating system.  I'd say that it's not possible with this phone but I thought I'd check with the community to see if there is a way of upgrading. Thanks and hope someone can help.
    regards
    John

    Sorry to report news you do not want to hear, but iOS 4.2.1 is the very latest version that will work on an iPhone 3G. There is no way to upgrade it to any higher version. On the bright side the phone is perfectly usable with this iOS version, although as time goes on more and more apps are updated to require later versions of iOS.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro but it says it can't upgrade to Lion, do i have to buy a new computer? How can i upgrade? I want to be able to use iCloud on this computer too.

    I have a 2GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro with Max OSX version 10.6.8
    I would like to upgrade to Lion but it says I can't .
    So can I? how ?
    I would like to be able to use iCloud on this computer too.
    Thanks

    The minimum requirements require the intel core 2 duo processor.so I am sorry to say that you will need to update your mac if you want to run Lion and iCloud. Apple's http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html page for osx gives the minimum requirements.

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • I am using ios 4.2 gm how can i upgrade to ios 4.3.3 without any error?, i am using ios 4.2 gm how can i upgrade to ios 4.3.3 without any error?

    i am using ios 4.2 8c134, i can't upgrade to any ios.. but ios 5.xx above i not try yet.. any suggestion or ideas to make sure the upgrade will work?
    sorry for my bad english.. 

    It is not possible to update the iOS to any version besides the most recent version. You can only update to iOS 5.1 at the time.
    Start iTunes on your computer and use its menu to check for updates. If there is an update download and install the latest version of iTunes for your computer. Then restart your computer and start iTunes. Connect your iPad to your computer and in iTunes on your computer select your iPad in the left column. In the right column select General and click on Check for Updates. Follow the prompts to complete the update process.
    The iOS update is a large file. A good Internet connection is required. Many users have discovered that they need to turn off virus protection and their firewall to get the update to proceed to completion. If you have problems updating turn off these items and try again
