I am currently using Tiger 10.4.11 how can I upgrade to Panther?
Hi I have a iMacg5 intel, currently using Tiger 10.4.11 how can I upgrade to 10.5? Thanks in advance, Rene.
There is no iMac G5 Intel,
"G5" is a PowerPC processor and "Intel" is well a Intel processor.
10.5 is Leopard
10.6 is Snow Leopard whichh only runs on Intel processors)
10.7 is coming out soon and doens't run on 32 bit Intel Core Duo processors.
You can find out exactly what machine you have by going to the Apple Menu > About this Mac > More information.
Look for something like "iMac 1,2" and post what you see here.
You might have to have someone from a Mac friendly computer shop come take a look at your machine, set you up, backup your files and set a backup plan in place and so forth.
Problems with third party software could arise, and you might be forced to upgrade software. All that will have to be investigated before you proceed with a operating system upgrade.
Don't want to be caught later paying for upgrades you might not be able to get.

Iam currently using Quicken for Mac 2007. Can I upgrade my os from 10.6.8 to 10.9
I am currently using Quicken for Mac 2007. Can I upgrade my os from 10.6.8 to Mavericks 10.9?

Or wait for the new version of Quicken for Mac which is scheduled to be released 1st quarter 2014 according to a response to a post I read on the Intuit site.
Eric:
You are more trusting of "waiting" for Intuit to live up to their promises than I am!
From Baltwo's quoted article:
This happened when Lion released and Apple decided to remove Rosetta which was a software tool to allow old software to run on the new Intel based Macs. It took a bunch of developers 8 months to get 2007 working again on Lion even though they didn’t add any new features.
Intuit had six years notice that Rosetta was a temporary solution to its PPC versions of Quicken, yet waited until Apple finally removed Rosetta from Lion before instituting its programming for an Intel version!?!
This is very consistent with their history of how they treat their Mac customers relative to their Windows customers...
Morale of the story... don't wait! For $15, start using Quicken now. -
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 -
How can I upgrade from tiger 10.4.11 to Lion?
i have a Macbook and its running tiger 10.4.11, how can i upgrade it to Mac os x lion ?
You have to check to see your MacBook meets the hardware requirements: at least a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7, or Xeon processor, 2 Gb memory, though 4 GB is much better and at least 7 GB free hard drive space.
Thhen you need to buy Snow Leopard, 10.6, and install and upgrade to at least 10.6.6, then purchase from the app store Lion, 10.7 and install. -
How can I upgrade the OS on my 5 year old MacBook Pro 17. It is currently running 10.4 (Tiger). I have an IMac 27 running Lion but have Snow leopard discs which came with the purchase. Can these be used to upgrade?

If they are the grey discs which came with the iMac, then they will be machine specific and will not work on the MBP anyway. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for about $29 and upgrade from that. I presume your MBP is Intel and not G4.
Good Luck

I would like to connect a printer that requires OS 10.6 or newer. My MacBook is currently using OS 10.5.8. In searching for a software update, I am told no updates are needed (and am given no option for updating my OS). How can I upgrade my OS to 10.6 or newer?
You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to OSX 10.5 or the .11 added to OSX 10.4..
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to force it to run on Intel processors.
10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
10.7 Lion ($19.99) used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
10.8 Mountain Lion ($19.99) is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
10.9 Mavericks is pure 64 bit and is a free download from the App store.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks which are downloads only.
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply. -

If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.
The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20) into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
Thank you again for your help and wisdom. -
My daughter currently uses my Apple ID. How do I set her up her own ID but retain the music she has purchased?
You cannot associate previous purchases with a new ID.
A specific answer as to how to otherwise share media will depend upon your computer setup, about which we currently have no idea. Do you have more than one, at they networked, does she use the media on an i-device? -
Hello. I m Harminder Singh from punjab. Currently i m using iphone5 with ios 6. 1 .bt now i want to upgrade it to ios 7. I want to know that can i upgrade it now. If yes then pls help me how can i upgrade at home
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

Can any one tell me when i use adobe flash media encoder how can i see my live vidoes on flash media
can any one tell me when i use adobe flash media encoder how can i see my live vidoes on flash media server . thnx
Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

Im currently running Yosemite Beta 10.10, how do i upgrade to a non beta release of yosemite?
Im currently running Yosemite Beta 10.10, how do i upgrade to a non beta release of yosemite? downloading yosemite in the app store doesn't work, i get a box that say my purchase couldn't be completed at this time. what can i do?
This seems very odd that they would completely make an entire OS X release not available at all. This is also unfortunate because some of the software use has compatibility issues with Yosemite. Thanks for the responses I will contact my local retail store and post back if they give me more information or a solution.

I visited the USA and bought an Apple iPhone 4 5.1.1, the latest model. I would like to unlock it and use in my country. How can I get it unlocked so the I can use my local micro sim card? What info about it do you need to assist me in unlocking it?
Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.
