I Book 10.2.8 upgrade required

Hopefully someone can shed some light for me, i bought an i book from a mate of mine mainly for a database thats used off line but then i thought i would like to get on line so i need an airport card apparently but so say i need a minimum of 10.3 and i can use some sort of usb conetctor rather than getting an airport card but can i download this 10.3 minimum from anywhere free?

Welcome To Discussions katieandpaul33!
Here is some info, to elaborate on the previous reply by Alan Bishop2.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.9 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, or CPU Drop-in DVD, on them.
The discs should also not say "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately."
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.

Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
Download the Media Exchange Program Order Form Here. Note that the date on that form is March 19, 2007, but the program was extended to reflect Orders must be mailed by June 22, 2007.
I suggest that if you choose that route, call Apple to ensure that is is still available.
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.

  • Problems with opening iBA books after the recent upgrade.

    How many folks have had problems opening .iba books after the recent upgrade??
    I did !  I completed and delivered a free book which was No: 9 in series - all the others opened OK in iBA after the upgrade except this last one.
    I read the forum, none of the offered solutions worked for me.
    I contacted support and was eventually asked to upload to there server the original .iba file which I did a few days back.
    Today I had a reply to advise they had found and corrected  the probem and gave me  server access info to download a revised file.
    The problem turned out to be the "Intro Media" I had dropped an image and not a video, which I have done before without probelms.
    Apple support have removed it and the book file opens OK.
    I dont know if this will help others who had problems opening files in iBA after the update.
    It does seem as though the delivery of content acceptance critera is getting tighter or maybe its my own fault for doding the requirements!

    On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
    When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
    and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
    and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
    I get this if using chrome or safari .

    The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video.  Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

    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.

    It looks like the Calendar Server is on 7u4-14.03 ( can be cross checked with 'davadmin -V' ), with this Version it is recommended that MySQL backends are upgraded to MySQL5.5.32.
    From the reported issue it looks like the upgrade was not done completely.

  • Servers in Farm Upgrade required

    Hello All,
    We see a Status in "Servers in Farm" as Upgrade required for one of the server and at the bottom of the page we get the below message
    To get more detailed information about the local upgrade status, run: stsadm.exe -o localupgradestatus .
    I have executed the command  in both the servers and  got the same output.
    Summary of the file :
    [7] content database(s) encountered.
    [1] content database(s) still need upgrade or cannot be upgraded.
    [28] site collection(s) are contained in the content databases.
    [0] site collection(s) still need upgrade.
    [47] other objects encountered, [3] of them still need upgrade or cannot be upgraded.
    How Should I proceed further . Please help me.
    Regards
    Harish

    Upgrade-SPContentDatabase <content database>
    That will either upgrade the content database or inform you why it cannot be upgraded.
    Upgrade-SPSite <Site name>
    That will either upgrade the site or inform you why it cannot be upgraded.
    I would expect that you could patch the system and run the psconfig.exe tool also and get everything done

    I`ve just bought a Mac Book pro 15", did the required updates and since two days ago it freezes. Now I can´t even start the computer. the screen is allways white. how can I solve this issue??

    The same thing happened to me... Since two days the ******* thing keeps freezing after a while. Then I try to reboot and the screen goes white and it doesn't boot. If I wait like half an hour it boots again.
    I thought it was a hardware problem, but the Apple Hardware Test founds nothing at all. I think it has to do with the software update I performed 2 days ago.

  • Does an upgrade require reinstallation of software

    I want to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to something newer, but I don't think I can locate the MS Office software installed on the computer.  Does an upgrade require re-installing the software?

    What has Office software to do with the question you asked? In your case the best thing to do is erase the drive before installing Snow Leopard. Check all your software to be sure you can upgrade it if necessary. Do not upgrade until you know all your important software will work or can be upgraded to work.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Slow performance on Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Upgrade Required

    Hi there.
    Sympton: Old Mac OS X 10.5.8 very slow opening files, browser, docs....
    Cause: I think too much stuff there (movies / pictures / apps / docs...)
    Fix: I would like to clean up and upgrade to the newest OS possible my hadrware allows.
    Question: Since I am guessing the cause: Do you use remote desktop to log in my machine and see the real cause of the poor performance...?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    JJ

    Upgrading the operating system will not cure your problems, which seem to be caused by your hard drive being too full. You need to move some files to an external hard drive - just as you do with backups. Try to keep at least 30GB (or 20% of your hard drive) free.
    If you want to upgrade your OS then it depends entirely on exactly what imac you have. If it is a PPC (G4 or G5) model you cannot upgrade beyond Leopard 10.5.8.
    If it is an Intel iMac:
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
    or Mountain Lion:

  • MacPro 2,1 Videocard Upgrade Requirements for Final Cut Pro X ?

    I bought Final Cut Pro X in June, had no problem to install it on my MacPro 2,1 with processor
    2 x 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, RAM 4 GB and Graphic Card and  ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512 MB running under Mac OS Snow Leopard. Recently I upgraded RAM to 8 GB. After switching to Mac OS Lion in july it continued to run in an unchange manner, even if not totally satisfactory due to the known buggy behavior of FCP X reported by many users, but it was anyway as usable as when I installed it.
    Yesterday I decided to update FCPX to version 10.0.01, and did so in recommended manner by first deleting version 10.0.0 to the trash and empty the trash can. When I was going to install the new version of FCPX, as recommended, from the "Purchased" department of Appstore, I was denied to do so due to this message: "We could not complete Your purchase - Your computer’s video card does not meet the minimum system requirements".
    That´s it, and here I´m stocked in a situation not being able to use FCP X which I have payed 229 $ for, because Apple has taken the right from me to use this application anymore. I can understand that Apple give You good recommendations concerning "the requirements" for running an application, but I doubt it´s acceptable and fair of Apple denying/hindering me to buy the product anyway, or, as in this case of mine, to use a product I´ve already payed for. Fact is, that even if the recommended requirements in respect to my video card not is met for this application (FCPX), so far I´ve still been able to use and benefit from it despite my computers "substandard quality" for running FCP X.
    So, now I´m feeling forced to invest in a new videocard as well, if I want to continue to use my bought license of FCP X...What card do I need?
    I´m considering to buy the video card ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB - do You think this card is compatible with my MacPro 2,1 build, and will meet the requirements of Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.01?

    I wonder if there's any reason why OpenCL couldn't be an optional processing preference?
    That way folks who had computers which do not have OCL or other cards which don't meet the spec could at least function knowing that the renders would not be optimal - or maybe real time playback of non optimized media might not be possible. But at least they'd be able to function.
    I'm sure OCL cant be  necessary for General display purposes in a 2D environment like video editing.
    To shut out someones system without warning in a 0.01 update seems a bit radical to me.
