I had to replace HD, lost latest version of OSX 10.6.8
How can I get it back? I was last with 10.6.8 and now I'm back to 10.4.11
My HD was dying, the "Genius" at apple told me to replace it and reinstall with the disk I got with the computer. I would upgrade and never kept the discs, is there any way to get Apple to help me get back up to speed with my last version of 10.6.8?
I have time machine files that I can barely get to as this 10.4.11 has limited abilities.
quite a shocker to go back to 2006 !
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 Mountain Lion 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.
I would first erase the drive then install Snow Leopard.

<Personal Information Edited by Host>Sorry, it appears you were scammed. The phone you have was replaced, either under warranty, or as an out of warranty replacement, & should have been returned to Apple. Unfortunately, some unscrupulous retailers will fix these phones, & then re-sell them. Your only option is to go back to whoever you purchased the phone from & confront them

Latest version of OSX that can be loaded into a MBAir with 1.6Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo.
what is the latest version of OSX that can be loaded into a MBAir with 1.6Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo. Currently have 10.7.5
To use Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have at least a MacBook Air2,1 which you can check by clicking the apple left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware and what does it show for the Model Identifier?

I have just upgraded to the latest version of OSX as invited by Apple. Since then iTunes will not play and my volume controls have stopped working - in Preferences the sound controller is not able to find any input or output devices. What is going on?
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
There will be no audio output in safe mode. The question to be answered by the test is whether any devices are listed in the Sound preference pane. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
My safari has been stoped working after I had updated it to the latest version!what should I do?!
my saafari hasn't been working for 2 month:(
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard (and Snow Leopard) can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4 or, if you downloaded it, Safari 3.0.3 beta. Safari 10.4.11 used Safari 3.0.4 which was not a beta and which was updated to v.3.1.2, and now Tiger uses Safari 4.1.3 and Leopard uses Safari 5.0.5, as does Snow Leopard albeit a different version. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required. -
HT1338 do i have the latest version..osx 10.8.5
i had to change my hard disk and the latest version that it give me was osx 10.8.5 is it right
If that is what it says in 'About this Mac' then what you have is the latest version of Mountain Lion. The latest OS, of course, is Mavericks. That is 10.9.

How can I delete all the data in Mac pro and install the latest version of OSX Mavericks?
Hi,
I want to know why my mac become slow and so, I want to data and system and I want to install the latest version OS X Mcvericks. How can I do?
ThanksOpen the App Store app:
And, choose Mavericks:
Then download and run the installer. Tip: It would be a good idea to quit the installer before proceding with the install, so that you can copy it or move it to location outside of your Applications folder. That way the installer won't be deleted after you run it.
If you don't have a backup of your current Lion partition, the only way that you can do a clean install is to erase that partition, thus losing all of your data. -
I have an IMAC that uses OSX maverick (10.9..) I cannot connect to the internet because my airport card is turned off. I .have tried repeatedly to turn it on, ,going into assist in diagnostics, as well as the opening wireless menu. I am thinking the card might have died. How can I run diagnostics on the card? How can I fix the problem? Java mama
Click the Wi-Fi icon in your Mac's menu bar.
If it looks like this, it's off:
Click it and select Turn Wi-Fi On.
If it looks like this, it's already on but something else is wrong:
If it looks like something else, describe it or post a screenshot. -
Update to latest version of OSX? But I meet the iCloud requirements!
According to this page it says "Make sure your Mac is running OS X v10.7.4 or later for iCloud." Well, I am using just that, 10.7.4.
When I try to turn on Mail in iCloud in the Preferences (so I can setup an email address and check it from within Mail), it says "Update to the latest verison of OS X". But yet, I meet the requirements, so what gives?Run Disk Utillity to make sure the startup disk is ok.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then click Verify Disk.
If the disk is ok, while you're there, click Repair Disk Permissions. Reparing permissions can fix a myriad of issues on a Mac. -
Latest Version of OSX for Tangerine iBook
Hello all,
When ever I look for the information on the minimum requirements for Jaguar or Panther it brings me to the requirements page for Tiger. I know Tiger is not compatible with this iBook since it does not have Firewire. Do you know what I would be able to run on this machine. I am trying to investigate some options for a friend of mine.
Thanks all!Niel already answered your question. I just wanted to point you to the OS X 10.3 system requirements. On www.apple.com/support/panther/install/ it statesMac OS X 10.3 requires a Macintosh with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor, built-in USB, at least 128MB of physical RAM and a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer.To find this page:
Click on the "Support" tab at the top of this page.
Then under "Mac OS", select the "Mac OS X v10.3 Panther" from the drop down menu.
On that page that appears, click on the "Get Upgrade Help Here" link near the top of the page. -
I am considering installing the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion but am concerned by the number of users that have had severe problems. Has Apple sorted this out?
As I told you, you have to do some steps before upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion.
First of all, make a backup of your files using Time Machine and/or Carbon Copy Cloner. If you make both, good, but if you only make one, it's OK, too.
OS X Lion and OS X Mountain Lion aren't compatible with PowerPC applications, so you have to check if your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com If you have to update an application, do it before upgrading, because the Mountain Lion installer moves unsupported applications to a separate folder.
After doing that, open Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and repair permissions. Then, verify the disk to check if it's OK. If everything is right, just open the App Store and purchase OS X Mountain Lion -
Latest version has jerky visual and stalls the browser.
Adobe Flash Player was working fine on my computer, then I downloaded the latest update (11.3.300.262). I use Windows 7, 32 bit.
Whenever I open anything that uses Adobe Flash Player now, however (I use Mozilla Firefox, the latest version), it causes the browser to stall and the video to play very jerkily. The audio is fine, but the visual is terrible.
What is the best way to resolve this?I have had similar problems with the latest versions of Firefox and Flash running on my Windows 7 based computer, as well as earlier versions run on my old PC which used Windows XP.
Here are two things to check out for starters.
Pause the Jerky video and right-click in the middle of it. You should see a drop down menu.
Scroll down and left click on "settings..."
If there is a check next to "hardware acceleration," click on it to clear it. Save, close the box, close out Firefox, and try the video again to see if you still have problems.
If you do, try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox:
Click on the Firefox Tools Menu
Click on Options
Click on Advanced Tab
if there is a check next to "Use hardware acceleration when available" click on it to remove it, save and exit.
Please report back with the findings.

I have had nothing but problems since I installed the latest version of Firefox version 18. It hangs up my computer no matter what I am doing. Even if I am not using the browser. I uninstalled it three times and the problems just seemed to be getting worse. I finally uninstalled it and did not reinstall it again. I am not going to use it again until the problems are fixed. I also don't know what funmoods is or whatever it is that replaced my google home page. I don't like software deciding what services I should use. I have been a firefox user for over 15 years. I have never had problems like this before. I have switched to Safari. It works without interfering with the other tasks I am doing on my computer. I don't know what version 18 did but the previous version of firefox I was using was perfectly fine. I had no problems whatsoever with it. It appears as if this version was not sufficiently tested. Also my daughter is having the same problems with her computer and they all started with the new version. So it isn't just me. At least give us the option of going back to the previous version and asking us if we want to upgrade when a new one comes out. However, I have never had these problems in the past with any version of firefox I installed. I like the features of firefox but cannot afford to keep rebooting my computer. It seems that firefox gets hung up and then hangs the computer up and I can't do anything else even if I am not using it. It seems to stay on in the background and hang everything up. Please fix this.
It most definitely is the browser that is causing most of the problems. I have used Firefox so long, I can't even remember. Maybe since its beginning. But today is a sad day. I gave up on it. I can't accomplish anything and end up spending hours troubleshooting. I see I am not alone. I am so sick of it "not responding." It's simply not worth it to spend so much time trying to make the thing work, so I can actually do something. Installed, removed, reinstalled numerous times, and I can't fix your software on my Win 7 Pro machine. No problems with IE or Chrome. So. as much as I hate Google Update, Chrome has won the test. Sad, sad day for me to lose Firefox, but it just does not work on the Win 7 machine. I don't have the same issues with the XP machine and have exactly all the same add-ons. Keep it up developers and you will have no Win 7 users at all.

After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!
Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!
