Are you trying to sign into the App Store and can't?

Am currently using Snow Leopard and do not have access to I Cloud or latest version of I Photo. Understand I can download Maverick free but am worried about losing data. How to download Maverick and safeguard present files?
Mac OS X upgrades are designed so that none of your existing Applications or User data are intentionally deleted during a System Upgrade.
That works as long as there are no problems whatsoever.
Your best protection from data loss is good Backups. Before you upgrade, buy an External Drive at least 2 to 3 times the size of your User Data, and Turn on Time Machine. USB-2 enclosure drives are cheap, and fast enough for backups. If you will use this drive for everyday data, a faster interface would be much better.
Time Machine works quietly in the background, and does not "take over" your Mac to do the Backups. After the first large backup, it will quietly back up hourly, copying only the things that have changed since the last Backup. Time Machine is not the only Backup solution, or even the best solution out there. But it tends to be the Backup that actually happens, because you don't have to download any software, do extensive setup, or think about whether you should do it now or later. -

If i bought an older Macbook (black) is it possible to upgrade ?
If i bought an older Macbook (black) is it possible to upgrade other components such as processer etc.. or am i stuck with it being unable...matter of fact are there black macbooks i dont want a macbook pro?!?! Thanks
CPU will be soldered directly to the motherboard. About the only things possible to upgrade on any Apple laptop are RAM (if not max'd out) and hard drive.
The current models are listed on www.apple.com (and no black ones anymore, sorry). -

How can I download Camera Raw? I bought CS2 a long time ago and it was upgraded to CS5 but I do not have Camera Raw plug in. Thank you
Which camera make and model are your Raw files from?
Camera Raw ships with Photoshop and is constantly upgraded by Adobe to keep up with new cameras as they are released to market.
It's likely that your camera requires a version of Camera Raw which is not compatible with your CS5. Or you may simply need to upgrade Camera Raw via Help > Updates in Photoshop. -

I have an iPad 2 and want to upgrade to ios5 but have no pc what can I do?
You can't do it without a computer, although once you get ios5 that necessity will be gone. I would recommend taking it into the apple store. They will do it for you.

I am running 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro 5.3. I want to upgrade to Maverick but am concerned that I will loose all contacts in my AddressBook. What can I do to save them?
File menu, Export, Address Book Archive. (I think that's where it is in SL).
However, do you not have a full backup of your Mac? Upgrading without one is not really advisable unless your contacts are all you care about. -

I have a Macbook from 2007 or earlier. I currently run OSx 10.6.8. I wanted to upgrade to Mavericks so that I can get the new aperature. However I was wondering if my Macbook model was to old to run mavericks. Is this the case? Do i need a newer model? The other option is to get an different aperature. Does anyone know what Aperature runs with 10.6.8? Aperature 1.5.1 does not run with my current operating system.
Probably not, but check below:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. 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- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
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. -
Any recommendation as to where I can buy Logic Pro 9? I can't run X on my MacBook because I can't upgrade to Mavericks.
Yes.. that is described as what you need.
Fingers crossed but you should be fine if it from a reputable person..
One tip.. Once you have installed it.. remember to update LP to 9.1.8 as that is the most stable version under Lion....
I would recommend doing this before you run LP for the first time...
Use this link to download the correct update for your version....

I want to upgrade to maverick but only in english, and I am in Europe
what do I do, it just keeps offering me local language and I want us english.
Maverick includes 33 languages no matter where you buy it, you just choose the one you want when you do the setup. Afterwards it takes a few seconds to change to another one if you want.

I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago and now there is out a newer model
I just bought a new Macbook air 3 weeks ago here in Thailand and found out that since 3 days the new ones where lunched. is there a chance to get the new one for no charge? it happend to me with the iphone in the US before and apple changed it to the new model for no charge. But does this service work for Thailand too??
After 3 weeks, probably not, but it's up to you to at least try. If you purchased your computer through Apple's online store in Thailand, there's a phone number you can call. If you purchased the product through a premium reseller (iStudio, for example), you should take it back to the store. If you purchased it from a dodgy storefront in Pantip Plaza, or MBK, you can always ask...but, I'm guessing that they won't help.
