I have purchased Lion, but cannot install it as it says I need 2GB space when I have 170GB free.
How do I do this?

7GB of available space

Safari 2.0.1 says "you need 10.4" and I have 10.4.8

I've just tried to install Safari 2.0.1 (currently using Safari 1.3.2) on my PowerMac (dual 1.8 G4s) and I keep getting a message that says, "You cannot install Safari Update 2.0.1 on this volume. This software requires Mac OS X 10.4.2."
I'm happily running 10.4.8.
What's up?

You can't possibly be using 1.3.2, as this is Safari version for OS X Panther. >>
that's a sweeping generalisation, given how frequently one sees incorrect Safari versions on this forum - In fact Safari 1.2.+ runs fine on my macbookpro with 10.4.8, not that I'd choose to use it of course.
If JColburn really is using Safari 1.3.2 on 10.4.8, it's very likely that one of the files the 2.0.1 update checks for is at an incorrect version to allow the update, Of course the installer will be looking for Safari 2.0 anyway, which seemingly isn't there.
there's a fully functional zipped archive of Safari 2.0.4 here. If anyone uses it, unzip the app & place it in the main Applications folder. Then run Permissions repair from Disk Utility.

Updated pages today but when I try to open a document I created I get a message saying you need new version, but i have the new version! So frustrating - HELP!

Updated Pages today - created a document. Went back few hours later to send it as email attachment - got a message saying Pages needs to be updated to open. Went to Mac app page and it said it was updated. Document won't open - what do I do???? Keeps saying to upgrade but it is upgraded - ARGH!

Here is a possible solution.
You should still have Pages 4.3, the old version, on your computer in Applications>iWork09. If you have the old Pages 4.3 running when you open the file, Pages 4.3 will warn you that you need to update because the new Pages uses a different file format. You can open the file in two ways.
Quit Pages 4.3, then open the file.
Right-click the file and choose to open the file in Pages 5.0.
I hope this helps.

Cannot install Flash Player - says I need to download missing plugin

Firefox 3.6.10
Windows XP, SP 3, 32 bit
I always have to uninstall my current flash player before installing a new version. So I uninstalled, but when I try to install the new version, I get a message at the top that I need to install a missing plugin. All I get when I go there is GP.XPI downloaded which does nothing at all. What do I need to do? Thanks for any help!!

GP (GetPlus) is the Adobe download manager. Download the Flash Player installer directly from http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe (for Firefox) and you will not need any DLM.

So apparently I can't get ios7 on my ipod. So I can no longer get podcasts? Because to download the app to get podcasts it says you need ios7. I already have podcasts on my ipod. I can't get any more?

I pretty much typed it all above.

This should work:
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Installed Flash, still says I need to get newest update

Using Windows XP with Opera and Windowx Vista with Firefox.
Okay, I was trying to watch a video on Tumblr, but it promts to download the newest Flash. Do so on both firefox and opera. It still says it requires newest Flash. Java is enabled in both browsers. Get a hint that java needs updating too, so we do that. Still nothing. Try to empty history and such on browsers, still nothing. I un-install and re-install Java, it still wont show videos!
Then I restart the computer, but it didn't help either.
Adobe Flash site claims I have the newest version, and youtube works fine. What are we gonna do? It's really annoying and hopeless. I've had this trouble before on older computers and it's getting kinda tiresome to always have such a fuss with flash/java updates.

Hi, That was a very nice explanation and complete What I would do first is go to Tumbir and see if you can find any system requirement or help info. When you say that it says you need Flash 10, does it have any more info than that? Does it have any other digits? We had 10.0 etc and now it is 10.1. Maybe they don't support vs 10.1.102.64.
I think you are correct in assuming it may be the site that is causing issues, but it could be the above or Shockwave Player is needed. If you have a Twitter account you could see what those requirements are, or if you have a friend that could check.
Clearly Flash Player is working fine with your browsers and youtube, so there is no issue there.
I use IE6 and youtube works fine:-) I think I have less problems with IE6 as far as being able to view whatever I want, even the BBC:-)
I would leave Flash Player exactly as it is......working!!
Let me know what you can find out.
Thanks,

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

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:

Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?

Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?

Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3. But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01. So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac. Weird...

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 .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

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

HT4250 Does anyone know where to get a copy of the OS X 10.6.5 update? Apples' site says it can't find the page and the only other downloads i've found on the net say you need to have 10.6.5 to install 10.6.5. HUH?

It's right here from Apple, at least for me.
Combo http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
Delta http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1325
Any reason you want the 10.6.5? You do know that the latest and final is the 10.6.8.

What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 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 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud 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 not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.

Cannot install lion 10.7.4 on my harddrive

I've just purchased and completed the downloading of Lion 10.7.4 to my MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo - RAM 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3 with current system Snowleopard 10.6.8).
Problem: I cannot install Lion to my harddrive. My Mac HD (which is the only harddrive on the computer) is greyish and a message appears saying: "This harddrive is used for Time Machine safety copies" (translated from Swedish), which is not so - as far as I know. I obviously can't choose the Mac HD for installing.
(I have a Freecom 1 TB harddrive which I use for safety-copying. I recently made a full system backup to the Freecom using Disk Utilities using the Source and Target in "Re-create". (Source = my Mac HD on the MacBook Pro, Target = my Freecom external harddrive).)
Look forward to getting some help in this matter!
Thanks!
Best regards,
Marie Fredriksson Karvelas
Sweden

First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info and then System Report. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.

I cannot install Lion, it says you need min 2gb Space I have 170gb free
