I am still running on OSX v 10.5.8 - what should I do to upgrade?

Do I need to install 10.6 first?  If so where is that available and does it cost?  Thanks

  • I have completely downloaded all parts of master suite (I attend AAU so it's provided by school) however, I can get nothing to load and operate. I am still running XP but my understanding is that it should still work for most apps

    I believe you need to have XP with Service Pak 3 as a minimum for most CS6 applications.  You should check all of the system requirements because I think you also need to have a 64-bit machine as well.   Here is a link...

  • HT1766 So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do?

    So I downloaded iOS 7 & recieved majority of my pics from my back up, it's been 2 weeks I'm connected to wifi & my photos still say downloading but they're not downloading what should I do? I'm getting frustrated  

    I took it off WiFi and complained on their Facebook page.  I think their
    salespeople telling folks to always stay on WiFi is their way of making
    money!  Take your phones OFF of WiFi, put Task Killer Advanced (google play
    store - FREE) on your phone and hit that repeatedly during the day.  It
    will shut down the junk running in the background that loves to nom on your
    data.  The other thing I do is to constantly dump cached data from my
    phone.  We did all three of these things and we have only burned up .7 of
    our 3GB limit since June 1st!  Not even a whole GB in 19 days!  Also,
    remove all updates from every app that your phone came with (bloatware)
    every so often. And shut the phone down every night after you run the task
    killer and empty your data cache. Somewhere along the line I will learn how
    to completely uninstall that darned bloatware and I will pass it on!
    Let me know if this makes a difference for you!

    i signed up with the wrong email so i can't verify and continue, so i tried to uninstall and reinstall again but after open it still ask me to verify the wrong email. what should i do?

    I haven’t been in this situation, but can’t you just change your account settings and use a different e-mail or maybe add another secondary e-mail to use for verification?

  • Hi there, i bought my macbook 1 week ago and its working fine. BUT the fan is always running and it is very annoying? what should i do

    hi there, i bought my macbook 1 week ago and its working fine. BUT the fan is always running and it is very annoying? what should i do

    Take it back to the store where you bought it for a hardware check and/or exchange/refund.
    If they say "that's normal" then get your money back.
    Nothing worst than a annoying fan you can't do anything about.
    I has a eMac that did that, sounded like a vacuum cleaner running all the time, I'm so glad I trashed it and will never buy a machine I can hear running in a near silent library.
    Some advice, the higher end models with a dedicated graphics do tend to operate cooler, it's the one's with only CPU graphics (Intel) regardless if a Mac or PC that tend to make a lot of noise.
    Graphics should have never been put on the CPU, it just doubles the heat and doubles the fan noise.

  • I still have 1 year left on my contract, what are my options to upgrade?

    I have an iPhone 5S that I purchased last October. I still have 1 year left to go before I am out of the contract. I really want the new iPhone 6 Plus, mostly because of the bigger screen. What are my options? I read you can trade-in an iPhone 5S and get $300 credit or it will go towards the purchase of a new phone (iPhone 6 Plus) + 2 year contract. Is this possible? If not, what are my options for ditching this phone? Can you ditch the phone itself (and upgrade it) while still keeping the contract you are currently under? Maybe I can turn in my phone for the credit towards the new phone, and still be 1 year into the contract?
    Sorry I find all the upgrade info confusing

    In short the only option you have is trade in your 5s for the $300 gift card and the buy the 6+ for $749.99 if you're getting the 16GB model, you won't be able to get the discounted pricing for that phone unless you add a line to your account or you're eligible for an upgrade which as you have said you're not.

  • Hey, i bought iphone 5 and i downloaded an app called "Ab Workouts Free, Fit Club!", then i deleted it but it still charges me and renews itself automatically. What should i do to stop it charging me? Thanks.

    Hey,  i bought iPhone 5 and i installed an app called "Ab Workouts Free, Fit Club!", then i deleted it but it still charges me (4.99 pounds) by renewing itself authomatically. this app billed me 4 times since i deleted it. What should i do to stop it from doing this. Thanks.

    If this app has an automatically renewing subscription, as it seems it does, you have to unsubscribe. Just deleting the app will not do it. See:

  • HT1459 I tried to restore my daughters ipod and it has a download on the itunes. I tried to open the download and that did not work. Her ipod is still disabled after the 5 hour download. What should I do now? Thank you. Sam

    My daughters iPod is now disabled because of my youngest daughter trying to get on it while away. I tried to restore it as per instructions via support site. It took 5 hours to do the download. I left it over night and in the morning I found the iPod still disabled. I have a download on iTunes so I tried to click on that and it won't open. I have to admit, I am not a computer wizz here. Could someone possible direct me to what I should do now? Thank you.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • What is the recommended upgrade for OSX 10.6.8 and what should I watch out for with the upgrade?

    I would like to know whether there is a recommended upgrade for OSX 10.6.8.  Is it Mountain Lion?  Is there anything I should watch out for in case I do the upgrade?  My computer is not working optimally and now my external drive (My Passport, 1TB) is not recognized by my computer.  Thanks!

    You should try to get your computer working before you upgrade.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.      
    Application Compatibility
    Applications Compatibility (2)
    Do a backup before installing.

  • HT1926 I received an error message after trying to install the update of itunes.  Now I can't even open up my itunes.  When I tried to download itunes again it showed it was already a file.  Still can't get into my music.  What should I do?

    I received a notice to download a newer version of itunes.  After starting the process of downloading I got an error message which then suggested I try to download itunes again.  When I did this it showed the file was already in my system and stopped the download process.  Now I can't open my itunes to play my music.  What can I do to get it back?

  • Still haven't recieved my iPhone I ordered, what should I do?

    I preordered on the 14th and did get the email that I was going to recieve an email when it shipped. Well I understand that lots of people who were supposed to get the iPhone 5 later than expected have already had theirs to arrive at their homes. My question is what should I do? wait and give apple the benifit of a doubt or contact them and see if perhaps my order got overlooked b/c a few cases have already been found where customers didn't get the order or even confirmation.

    You can contact the if you like.
    Do whatever you like.
    What does your order status say?
