I have a iMac with tiger operating system can I install lion with no problems?
if we do the up date from tiger to lion will we lose any datta like pictures and such?
To see what processor you have, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and see what the processor like says. Looks like this on a PowerPC Mac:
If it says "PowerPC" as in the image, and your processor's speed is shown as 867mHz or greater, the highest Mac OS you can run is 10.5.8 Leopard.

I have an IMAC 11.with no operating system can I still install snow leopard
I have an IMAC 11.2 with no operating system can I still install snow leopard
Yes, but you must get Snow Leopard from AppleCare. Be sure to tell them which model you have. I have the exact same model, and twice they sent me the wrong discs under AppleCare.

I have take pictures from my ipad 4. How to download to my computer with windows operating system conneted through USB cable with out using internet
Plug your iPad into your computer. THere may be a delay while it installs drivers but if you can see your iPad in windows explorer, use that to get to your photos.
Click on your iPad and you should see a DCIM folder. Click thorugh that to find your photos.
Windows explorer will see your iPad as nothing more than a digital camera, and that's the part you're trying to access. -

Can't install Lion with the Golden Master
Hey,
Now Lion is out the first thing I did was buying it of course.
The problem is that I can't 'cause it saids that its already installed.
I think this is 'cause I have the GM installed now.
Does anybody know what I gotta do?jbjoret wrote:
I will be having the same problem ... that is why I am waiting until more information emerges.
That is a smart move. From what I understand, the beta versions (including the GM seed) and the released versions are different as far as the Mac App Store is concerned. Eventually, you may have to get a new redemtion code and download the final Mac App Store version. Otherwise, you could be in a spot where everyone else is downloading an update via the Mac App Store, but it tells you that there is no update available for your beta version, even thought it is the same build number.
I'm pretty much just speculating at this point. I don't know for sure and the developer site is not responding right now. The quote above is the wisest course of action. Sit tight for now and let things calm down. -
How can I backup my iMac with a Tiger operating system?
I have an iMac with a Tiger operating system (10.4.11). I am intending to upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I spoke to an Apple representative, he said I should back up my computer before I upgraded to Leopard and then Snow Leopard as I could lose everything during the upgrade. This version of operating system (Tiger) does not have Time Machine. Can anyone tell me how I can back up everything before I do the upgrade?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The best option is to use a third-party app. I recommend you to use Carbon Copy Cloner, but you can have a look for more applications.
You should keep all your files and applications after upgrading, but you should have a backup. Also, I think you should be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard directly without upgrading to Leopard -
safari, chrome and firefox cannot verify identity of secure websites after upgrading to 10.7.4, apple engineers have tried multiple things including operating system with no success
There are several threads about this problem, most notably one called 'Invalid Certificates' is over 4 pages long. Many of us have experienced difficulty connecting to banking and other secure sites. On my Macbook Pro, I cannot get to my banking site with any browser, however I can get there on my iMac using Safari, but get the 'Invalid Certificate' notice with FF and Chrome. The problem started after the installation of 10.7.4. I have sent a message to Apple--they will be dismayed to hear that I cannot complete an order at their online store!

I have an iMac, 2015 model. operating on OS X 10.10.2 and whenever I click on just about everything in safari it opens a new tab with an ad on it. sometimes the ads are mackeeper or video hosting sites but they are just so annoying.
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
com.something.daemon.plist
and
com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
Hi, I've got an imac using mac os x version10.4.11, does anyone know of any printers that are compatible with this operating system version?
Yesterday I set up a Canon IP3600 to work on a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11. It is a print-only unit. I got the 10.4 drivers off the Canon website before connecting the printer. Many Brother printers still have support for older Mac OS versions.
If you need a multi-function device, it is gettng very hard to find any that support PowerPC Macs (pre-2006) of OSX versions older then 10.6 any more.
As you posted in the PowerPC iMac forum I assume you have one. However, there are some Intel Macs (2006 and newer) still running 10.4. Check "About this Mac" under your Apple menu: if it says you have an Intel processor, you have many more doors open. -
I have a Macbook Pro with no operating system installed
I do not know the model number but I think it is this:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/specs/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .8-aluminum-15-late-2008-unibody-specs.html
It has an Intel Core 2 Duo running at 2.8 GHz. 4GB of memory and 320GB HD. It has a 15 inch screen.
Can anyone confirm the model number and tell me what operating system I should install on it?
I would like to get Mavericks on there but I'm unclear of the steps to do it. Should I go to an Apple store and have them do it (will they even do it)?
Or should I create a USB and do it myself? I only have a Windows and Linux system available to make the USB though I could ask a friend with a MAC to do it.The official 10.5 installer should work, if it is not system specific. Look to make sure your official, is retail, as this tip explains. You have sufficient memory, you could install 10.6 from the currently sold 10.6 retail directly. So unless you are sure your applications are not 10.6 compatible, that might be the best option.

Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.
Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 and have just upgraded my Mac operating system to Yosemite with the newest version of Java 2014 running. When I try to access Photoshop from Bridge or directly open it asks for a Legacy Version of Java 6. As I am a pensioner I cannot afford an upgrade does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?
Hi Daddyfred,
CS4 Photoshop has not been tested on Yosemite. But still you can try the Java 6 update using the below link.
