    If you buy an iLife '11 install DVD (eBay, Amazon) you could upgrade your iPhoto right away. The earlier iPhoto '11 versions are compatible with MacOS X 10.6.8.
    but I can't until I upgrade from OS X 10.6.8.  Trying to figure out how to do that...
    To upgrade to Mt. Lion see here:  You can buy it and download it from the appStore, if your mac is compatible:

  • Keep getting "Failed to connect to server" message after changing out my old router to a new one. Cannot receive any new emails. How do I connect again?

    What can I do to fix this?

    Check the address of the router in your settings for Windows. It has probably changed. You might want to check the settings in the router itself as well.

    You must have had find my iPhone on, or it was locked by your phone carrier.
    Call your our cell carrier first.
    then log on to a computer to iCloud to erase your iPhone.  
    NOW... You will be able to setup with a backup.

  • Why can't I connect to Itunes store, after updating my ipad to OS 6?

    Why can't I connect to Itunes store, after updating mt Ipad to Os 6?

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Macbook can no longer "connect to server"

    I have an iMac connected to the new Airport Extreme using ethernet (and wireless).
    I have a macbook connecting to the new Airport Extreme using wireless.
    The macbook cannot connect to the imac using 'connect to server' WHY? And the imac's itunes library no longer shows up on the macbooks itunes as a shared library? Why?
    All of this used to work before my upgrade to the new Airport Extreme. Can anybody help....

    OK.... the is really baffling me...
    Here's my setup:
    Airport Extreme - constant PPPoe connection to ISP - running 80211n only
    iMac conneting to Airport Extreme via ethernet
    Macbook connecting to Airport Extreme via 80211n
    Airport Express connected to Extreme via ethernet
    Macbook Pro and Powerbook and 2nd Express (relay) connecting to Express via 80211g
    iMac also connects to Airport Express via 80211g (in addition to direct ethernet connection)
    So.... here's the problems....
    Macbook and iMac cannot speak to each other. Macbook can see iMac's itunes but gets an error when tyring to connect (unspecified error - make sure port 3689 is open)
    Cannot do a 'connect to server' either way between macbook and iMac.
    iMac can see and connect to both Powerbook and Macbook Pro. It can also see itunes library on both of thses and vice versa.
