Will do. But, I noticed something. It says the file size is 1.09 GB, but when I download it, it shows a total of 1.01 GB. Is it supposed to be like that?
I just downloaded the update on a PC I'm using at the moment and the size is 1,087,020,133 bytes. You can use "Get Info" to see the actual size of the file on your Mac. If it is the same size then it probably means that there is a problem with the update being applied to your Mac. If it isn't the same size, that doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad download. If it isn't the same size, try using Chrome, Firefox, and/or Opera to download the update.
BTW, Austin Kinsella might be really asking if you have enough free space for such a large download. And even if you do for the file, the update process will require some more while it is running and for the resulting, hopefully, 10.6.8 on your Mac.
Good luck.

    No can do I'm afraid.

    It's to do with licensing. If you read the EULA that comes with OSX it tells you about those restrictions.

  • Should I have Serial key for re-install Mac?

    I have Mac computer that i got as a gift and also I have a Software CD that came with Mac. The software version is "Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)". But I have no serial or product key which came with that software. Should I have key to Re-Install Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S165)?
    Aregama

    But I have no serial or product key which came with that software.
    That's normal; you will not be asked for a serial number or other key at any point during the installation or setup. Apple doesn't include copy protection mechanisms in most of their consumer-level software the way Microsoft does.

  • How to install Mac OSX on New Hard Drive (No Disk)

    I have a new Hard Drive that I just received and I'm looking to install it on my Early 2009 17 inch Macbook Pro. The problem is I dont have the original disk that came with my macbook. I do have a 2TB external HD so is there anyway I can back up Maverick on there and install it on the new Hard Drive without having the original Disk?

    If your machine is running Mavericks with the old drive, just connect the new one in an external enclosure. Boot to the Recovery partition by holding the Command and R keys at startup. Run Disk Utility to prep the new drive, exit Disk Utility and install Mavericks.
    You could also do the external enclosure and use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy your existing drive to the new one.

  • My Mac has stopped receiving mail. Mail is still coming through to my iPhone and my wife's iPad but is not appearing on my mac. I have mail from today on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the Mac. I have not touched any settings. Can anyone adv

    My Mac has stopped receiving mail. I have a mac.com address. Mail is still coming through to my iphone and my wife's ipad but nothing is coming through to my imac.I have mail from half an hour ago on the phone but nothing newer than 18 Feb on the mac. Everythng was working fine until recently and I have not touched any settings! Can anyone help?

    So I tried something else recently and it seems to have fixed the issue. My mail is now getting new mail again and refreshing after waking from sleep without having to restart mail. Give it a try and hopefully it will help you too.
    First, make sure your Mailbox List is visible (Shift + Control + M). Then select all of your inboxes, mailboxes, and folders (not just the root folder for nested folders, make sure to select them all). Then under the "Mailbox" menu, select "Rebuild."
    It may take a while to rebuild them all if you have a lot, but like I said it seems to have done the trick for me. I hope that proves to be more of a long-term solution.

  • Macbook Pro keeps going to Mac OS X Utilities on start-up and can't do anything to get past it. I have tried everything.. even installing Mac OS X Lion again and after 6 hours of loading it said it couldn't load! Please help!?

    ..

    This worked amazingly!! Thanks for the post awvik360!
    I was able to access the internal hard drive and perform a permissions fix through disk utility and re-apply the OS X 10.5.6 combo update on a totally debilitated machine (Mac Pro early 08).
    Some clarification though:
    {{ I used a MacBook Pro instead of USB/ExternalHD to run a working copy of OS X. }}
    ~ Just start up the healthy OS X (laptop) in target disk mode (hold 't' key while it powers up)
    ~ Connect it to the impaired Mac with the highest speed cable available (fire800>fire400>USB)
    ~ Start up the impaired Mac while holding the alt/option key to select the boot drive.
    ~ Select the connected OS X (laptop hard disk) and start er up.
    ~ Run disk utility and you can now use the Fix Permissions option on the impaired Mac's internal hard drive.
    ~ Run the OS X Combo Update (or presumably other offending update/program) and make sure to change the destination to the internal disk of the impaired Mac
    ~ Shut down, unplug target disk, start up, and you should be good to go.
    I was in some kind of uber-kernel panic and could not start up in safe mode OR from the installation disc, and this worked! Definitely a good emergency procedure to have in your back pocket.
    Note: ...target disk pairing must be in this direction. I tried setting up the impaired Mac as target and connecting it to running laptop, and it let me run the install fine, but it didn't fix the problem...must be something with permissions that the impaired Mac needs to install to itself, even if the OS is running on another disk/machine.
    -T.

  • Can I install mac on a new hard drive in my windows computer and get rid of windows completely?

    I have a windows desktop computer. Can I install a new hard drive and install ios mavericks on it? In other words, convert my windows desktop to a mac?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You may be able if your computer meets some requirements and if you don't mind putting your PC in risk, but it's not legal to install OS X on non-Mac computers. See the OS X Terms of Use > http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX109.pdf

  • How to re-install mac software on NEW OS

    i have had to do a fresh install of my OS with no migration and i don't understand how to get my software reinstalled.
    i understand that if i had a CD or DVD that i can install off the disk but how to i reinstall mac software?
    i see i have .dmg files and .app files in my "backed up software" folder and if i doubleclick on a .app file that i get a prompt that it was downloaded from the internet and do i want to open.
    is this incorrect as it is not installed in the APPLICATIONS folder and i should somehow run a dmg (if i saved it!) file in order to properly install the software?!
    should i instead try and find the software on the internet and download from there??
    i have to do a LOT of this and i would like to understand what i am doing.
    does one method require me to find my password for the software and the other doesn't?
    TIA

    Very easy. Tell me what version Photoshop you have and I'll direct you to the proper downloadable installer file.
    Have your serial number ready. You can activate on 2 computers, so don't deactivate the old one until you are updated and sure it works on the new one.
    As a side note: You never copy or transfer Photoshop to a new computer, you have to install.

  • I Have PSE 12 and when installing it on a newer PC I noticed the color option that is at the bottom of the tool list was missin

    Am I missing something here? it was on my old PC but upon re install it was missing.

    I'm not seeing that at the same 1280 x 720 screen resolution on this vista machine.
    You have pse 12 maximized to fit the whole screen?
    Could you post a screenshot?
    The only thing that seems to be missing are the actual labels in the toolbox.

  • Installing OSX on brand new HDD on Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2009

    I have installed a brand new solid state hard drive in my macbook pro 13" mid 2009.
    I replaced the old hard drive because it was failing.
    Now that I have the new hard drive installed I am struggling to get OS X installed onto the new hard drive. I have ruled out using a USB enclosure on the old hard drive to do the transfer because it was failing.
    I do have the original OSX snow leopard start up disk. I have tried using this to install OSX onto the new HDD but it would not work.
    I think it might be because the new HDD is unformatted?
    I have also been into disk utility to try to resolve this but this does not work.
    I have tried partitioning the new HDD but I get an error message "Partition failed .... POSIX reports: The operation cannot be completed. Cannot allocate memory".
    I have also tried the restore function in Disk Utility to restore the disk using my time machine backup disk, but I get the error "Could not erase target - Operation not permitted"
    I have also tried to restore the HDD from a time machine backup, but when I try to select a Destination it says the "disk does not have enough space to restore your system"
    Any suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated

    I assume that you have an original Leopard installation disk or a white retail Snow Leopard disk.
    Start your MBP with one of these disks holding the C key down.
    Commence the installation process until you get a display with the menu bar on top.
    Click on UTILITIES.
    From the drop down menu, click on Disk Utility.
    Select Disk Utility>Erase.
    Format the SSD to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.
    Continue the OSX installation.
    Ciao.

  • I am unable to install iTunes on my new HP laptop.

    I have tried several times to install iTunes on my new HP Pavillion dv7.  Each time I get a Windows installer error message,   Is anyone else having the problem. My next step is to take the Laptop back to BestBuy and have the Geeks check it out. 

    Are you using the Itunes installer for windows 7 64 bit?
    "go to apple.com>itunes>download for pc +mac>"download now" page with the hardware and software requirements for iTunes. This the same page where you seelct itunes for 32 bit or 64 bit windows 7.
    Under the software requirements you can find the required downloadable installer.
