I have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software?
i have a 2002 imac, how do i update the software? i have the original software and it wont let me update itunes! help!!
Apple seldom leaves of old versions of iTunes compatible with a 12-year old computer on the web site. What OSX version is currently on the iMac?
If you need a newer version of itunes to support an iPad, iPod, or iPhone, your computer is too old. Full support for Apple iDevices requires Mac OS 10.6.8; a 2002 iMac is limited to no higher than 10.4.11, or maybe 10.5.8 with a hack. Still, not enough for working with current mobile devices.

I have a 2008 imac. how do i update the ram
Is it hardware you have to add to the computer, or can you download more ram
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have an Early 2008 iMac, you can install 6 GB of memory. You can buy it in OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/Intel_Core_2_Duo_PC2-6400
You can install more memory on your iMac without any problem, so don't worry about damaging the Mac. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423#2 -

How do I update the software?
Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

How do I update the software on my Airport Express?
Hello everyone,
I have an Airport Extreme base station acting as WDS and an Airport Express station. I recently upgraded the security on the Airport Extreme base station from 128-WEP to WPA (Personal), but I don't know whether I have to do something to the Airport Express base station. It's green light is on. Do I need to do something? Also, how do I update the software in the Express? Whenever I open the Airport Admin Utility, the only thing that comes up on a scan is my Extreme base station. Any advice would be most appreciated.yes you need to update your Airpost Express. I just went through this last week with two of my Airport Expresses. I updated my Base and my Remote's light was green but was unable to view it in Airport Admin Utility. So this is what I ended up doing and it works great.
First bring the Airport Express you are working on in the same room as your computer......just the ease of seeing what is going on with the Airport Express. Next you need to reset it.....take a paper clip and push in the little button next to the Audio port and hold in 10 seconds. Then unplug the unit wait 10 seconds and plug it back in. wait about 3 minutes and then you will need to use Airport Set Up Assistant. You will need to make sure you have WPA Personal on your Airport Express too.
don't forget to make sure you have the update firmware too.

I hope this helps.....

How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.
You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

Hi everyone,
I have an Ipod touch 3rd generation. I tried recently to update its software and everything disappeared (the setting, my music etc) WHat can I do?
HLévesqueWithout knowing current status of the iPod:
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 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.

my iphone 3gs does not have the update software button how do i update it?
It isn't in the device pane. If you have selected your iPhone, then on the right side you should see information on what is contained on your iPhone. There should be a number of tabs towards the top, Summary, Info, Music, Photos, etc. Not necessarily in that order. On the Info tab is where you should find the tab. It should look like this.

i tried to update my software to 10.9 and forgot i had a disc of pictues in the computer. i stopped the istall as it was trying to go onto the disc of pictures. now its stuck on the os x page and i cant get it to my home screen. can anyone help?
I'm not really sure what you mean by "the os x page". It sounds like the installation did not complete.
I would try this:
hold down the power button until the computer shuts down
take out the disk with the pictures!
restart and see if it will boot up
if it boots up normally, I'd probably try to repair your HD: Boot into your recovery partition (hold down ⌘R at restart until you see the Apple symbol), go to Disk Utility, and repair your hard drive. While you're there, repair permissions too. OSX Tips Using the Recovery HD
Then I'd try to reboot and run the installer again. I think it's a good idea to do the installation in safe mode : Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? .
if it won't boot up normally, I'd try booting from the recovery partition and repairing your HD.
if it won't boot into the recovery partition, your options are:
Try to repair your hard drive with internet recovery: OS X: About OS X Recovery
If you have access to another (working) Mac and a USB thumb drive, download Recovery Disk Assistant, which you can use to repair your hard drive or reinstall OSX: OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
Try to boot into single user mode and repair your hard drive: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
