HT5167 I have version 10.6.8, how do I get to OS X Lion v10.7.4?

I have version 10.6.8, how do I get to OS X Lion v10.7.4? It won't download.

If you go to the Purchases tab in the App Store, do you see Lion listed there?  If so, does it show a progress bar, or something else?  If it says there was an error, you may need to restart the download.  Note that you need to keep your Mac on and awake while downloading...  you may want to go to System Preferences -> Energy Saver and set it to sleep "never."  Make sure your MacBook is plugged in, of course, and that you change the sleep settings in the Power Adapter tab, not for the battery.

  • I have version 10.6.8 and want to get icloud.  How do I do that? Can I also upgrade to the lion?

    Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

  • Recently I updated to Maverick -- I also updated Numbers, Pages and Keynote.  NOW, I cannot open my pages documents.  I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages.  I have the newest version (5.2).  How do I get around this to view my documents?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Check the papers that came with your PC or the web site of the vendor. OEM versions are either on the recovery discs they provide or can be downloaded from their site.

  • HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
    It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
    Buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

  • HT5395 I dont have messages on my macbook how do I get it

    I dont have messages on my macbook how do I get it

    A quick run down for other readers.
    Generally speaking iChat versions have number one less than the OS version they go with.
    So iChat 3 comes in OS  X 10.4.x
    iChat 4 comes in OS X 10.5.x and so on.
    Messages continues the same numbering system Starting at version 7 in OS X 10.8
    Messages 8 comes with Mavericks (OS X 10.9.x)
    iChat Updates come with the OS Updates but not at every occasion.
    In OS X 10.5 for example iChat 4 gets to version 4.0.9
    Messages 7 gets one update during all the OS X 10.8 updates to be version 7.0.1 at the "end"
    However Apple seemed to have stopped this sub numbering in Messages  (it is at build three in OS X 10.9.4)
    Throughout it is important that the iChat or Messages version "matches" the OS X level it is supposed to go with.
    Reinstalling earlier iChat version for Install Disks then requires you run the Combo update of the OS version you are using.
    You cannot do this after Apple use the App Store to Upgrade/Update and you need to Reinstall the whole OS.

  • HT4623 Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    Don't have "software update" option. How do I get ios5 on ipad

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 or earlier on it then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you are on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    An iPad 2 will update to iOS 6.0.1 (which is the only version that is 'signed' by Apple), so you will lose the built-in YouTube app and the Maps app will change.

    Hi jt - Alex was actually referring to video clips in iPhoto not appearing in the item "iPhoto Videos" in the Events Library in iMovie - thanks for your post though (the 2 words are very similar).

    You need OSX 10.7.2 or higher in order to access icloud.  The mobile me account is now defunct (it closed down more than a year ago).

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    I have an iPhone and keep my calendar into it.  I have synced all photos. How do I get the calendar to sync with my MacBook Pro?

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.
