I have a iMac purchased in april of 2011. I have OS 10.8.5 . What shall I update to? Maverick? Any help about this will be appreciated. Thank you!
I have an iMac Operating System 10.8.5 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 3.2 GHZ intel Core i3.
I'd like to upgrade to Maverick. Can someone help me with finding the right download for this and how to install it?
What would an upgrade do for me?

I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on my PowerMac, and cannot retrieve email. Does this have to do with iCloud? I also cannot upgrade my operating system as my computer won't accept it. Any information about this for me? Thank you!
Hi Steve,
If this is dot mac or Mobile me you can still use IMAP eMail in the iCloud.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT - DO NOT TRY TO ALTER YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
Thanks to dpepper...

i have problem with my I PHONE 4S Always its time out then i must restart my I phone please any help about this case ??
Hello Pllumb,
It sounds like you are unable to turn on Wi-Fi because the option is grayed out in Settings. Use these steps from the following article named:
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

I have been trying to buy 850,000 credits for $49.99 (on sale for now) for one of my Ipad games (Pharoah slots). I can get so far with my log-in information and then the screen indicates there is a problem and that I need to contact Itunes/ww. Then another prompt indicates "Unknown error". Any ideas as to what is causing this?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

This problem just started. On the last line of each page if the letters y,g,p or j appear in the line the bottom part of each of these letters appears at the top of the next page while being chopped off the actual line it should appear in.
*Update*
I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
"Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support" see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification

I have an iMac purchased in May 2011. OSX Lion 10.7.3. I deleted backup file from the external hard drive which operates from Time Machine.
Now, the trash can will not empty some of the files deleted from the backup harddrive.
The trash contains-- File folder: "Core Services" which contains a locked file: "boot.efi".
It will not delete.
How do I get the trash can empty of these files?Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -
I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck -
I have a iMac (2013- 24inch) 10.8.3 and have been told by Mpix to calibrate my monitor. Should I purchase Colormunki Photo or colormunki display? I am new to this calibration thing. I would appreciate any experienced advice about which item to purchase and why. Thanks
The Color Munki Display is limited to calibrating displays. The Color Munki Photo can be used to calibrate displays, projectors, and printers.
The CM Display is less expensive and meets your needs. If you are using an outside printing service, or are printing on standard papers using popular printers (e.g.: Epson Hot Press on an Epson 3880), there is no advantage, IME, to making your own printing profiles. I have long used a CM Photo and have found it an excellent value.
The MPix recommendation is spot-on. You might find some good tips in this post as well. -

I have an iMac and a MacBook. Do I have to pay twice for Pages?
I have an iMac running Lion, and a MacBook running Snow Leopard. I want to buy Pages. Do I have to buy it twice, or can I download it to the iMac and copy it to the laptop? Thanks for any help.
Hi Larry...
No.. you don't have to pay again.
On your Mac running Snow Leopard, make sure it's running at the minimum v10.6.6 to run Pages.
See Pages requirements right side of the App Store windnow under Information.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
