I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
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. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

I downloaded yosemite as the new operating system but I can't find iphotos since then

I restored my mac to factory settings and downloaded yosemite as the new operating system but I can't find iphotos since then. When I go into Icloud it takes me to apple page. PLease help!
<Re-Titled By Host>

1 - you need to update your profile as you state that you have OS X 10.6.3 in it
2 - for Yosemite you need to backup your iPhoto library and install iPhoto 9.6 from the App store - if you are upgrading from iPhoto '08 or earlier you need to also run the iPhoto Library upgrader prior to launching iPhoto 9.6
3 - Your photos are NOT in iCloud - it is not a place to store photos - it is only to move photos between devices (MyPhotoStream) or people (shared PhotoStreams) - they are (by default) in the iphoto library in your pictures folder - if you did not backup your iphoto library prior to erasing you disk then they are gone

I purchased and downloaded the Family Pack of IWork. I recently purchased another computer (MacBook Pro) and I want to be able to use IWork on the new
computer but don't know how to go about it. The only thing on the Apple home page is to purchase either the item or trial pack. I don't think I should have to purchase anything since a family pack covers 5 computers in the same household. Please, if someone knows how to go about this and what I need to do so please let me know. Thank you.
You didn't keep the download for future use?

This helped me.
Go to Start -- Accessories -- Command Prompt, make right click and choose run as administrator
Type this command : netsh winsock reset
then restart your computer, everything should be ok after this. Good Luck.

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object?

When I use Photoshop CS 6 to edit video, I don't know how to change video speed after I converted the clip to smart object? The clip color turns purple and it only allows me to add motion but not change the clip duration and speed anymore.

Thanks for the reply and as a work around method I used the Photoshop to do all the adjustments then export the video to iMovie to finish the final cut. I also have a problem to paint or clone on a blank video layer created in Photoshop. It tells me the time is beyond the target frame time, I don't understand the message. Can you explain to me what did I do wrong? Thanks a lot!

What happens when I buy a subscription for 1 year, but the app stops being updated, and is no longer in the USA app store? Can I get a refund?

I bought a subscription to a magazine on the app store, and now I cannot get any more issues as the USA app store has taken the app off the store.
I think I should have at least been advised and offered a refund for the portion of the subscription left.
What actually happens though?
Does anyone know?

An iPod formatted for Mac won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. However there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews: XPlay 2

I currently have iPhoto 6.0.6, and can no longer order books. Do I have to get a new operating system, or just update my iPhoto to the next level.

I currently have iPhoto 6.0.6. I am no longer able to order books from this iPhoto. Can I upgrade to the next iPhoto without purchasing a new operating system?

This thread might help: what does this mean "We apologize for the inconvenience, but the ability to order books and prints is no longer supported in iPhoto 5. Please upgrade to a newer version of iPhoto to order these products.

Can't load App Store. Can't get OSX 10.6+ without it.

Help! I can't get the app store to load on my computer, I have tried every suggestion I could find, and none of them work because I don't have 10.6, and I can't get 10.6 if the app store doesn't load! I have 10.5.8 - and finally had to bite the bullet and buy Mountain Lion, which loaded on my macbook just fine - these problems are arising in my imac.

Mac OS X 10.6 is sold in the Apple Online Store, not in the App Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After getting the disc, make a backup of your files, insert the DVD and upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The DVD will install Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update and install 10.6.8, that includes the App Store. After that, open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion.
Before upgrading, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion

I have re-installed OSX Lion and I lost the iLife suite, but from app store I can't download it because there is only a version for OSX 10.9

hello to everyone! I just performed a clean install of OSX Lion on SSD and do not want to restore any backup. But I have lost the iLife suite (iPhoto, iMovie ..): if I try to download it from the app store, it tells me that I need OSX 10.9.. I tried to search all previous versions but they are only upgrade.
thanks to everyone

I had a iphone 4 and upgraded to a 5s, I backed up my photos to icloud on my 4 but now do not know how to access them now that I have the 5s. So I can't retreive my 400 pix from my old backup. Help!????

I just upgraded from an iphone 4 to 5a s, I backed up all my photos to the cloud with the 4 but now cannot access them with my 5s. Does anyone know how to do this? Help?

Did you restore the backup of your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5? That would restore the camera roll photos along with app data, text messages, ringtones, apps and other purchased media, etc.

HT4623 Updating to new operating system, but the update is hanging up on "rescue email" despite thef act that this is supposed to be optional. The only option it seems to allow is that i furnish this email address, but then, once entered, i can't "next."

Updating to 7.02 and i have completed everything up to the rescue email address; however, the "next" option won't work and "back" simply deletes what i have added, but doesn't allow me to escape from the set up or move past what are supposed to be optional steps. Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup
