I have a older imac and whin i try to update from 10.6.8 i says incompatible can i upgrade the imac to work with mavericks ?

can i upgrade my imac 4,1 to run mavricks ?

No. You can try Lion:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

    I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

    If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model.  Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
    If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

    You would have to purchase a retail Leopard installer DVD. Since they are difficult to find you may need to search on eBay, Amazon.com, and Google to find a suitable copy.
    If you have an Intel iMac, then you may want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard which you can purchase at any Apple retailer for $29.00 versus the minimum price of $129.00 for Leopard.
    Leopard System requirements
    You must have a Macintosh computer with:
    an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
    a DVD drive >built-in FireWire
    at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
    a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    And, you could also upgrade to Lion by purchasing the Apple USB Lion flash drive installer for $69.00.

    Try from a computer.   You may have to reset your password.  If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question.  Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

    when I try to update Firefox I get a window saying it can't be loaded because I do not have all the necessary permissions. What does this mean and what do I do?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Hi. I am a new apple user. I just switched and I find it really nice. I am having a hard time changing the apple id of my refurbished iPhone 3gs. I already have an apple id and when I try to update apps on my phone it keeps on asking old users password. .

    Hi. I am having problems when I try to update my refurbished iphone to my macbook. It keeps on asking for old password of the previous owner. I created a new account here but it's all the same when i try to update. I need help. been trying to update since yesterday. will appreciate your replies.TIA

    Hi.
    I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
    I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID.  Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

  • How can I make the FN buttons work with an older notebook?

    Hi,
    I have the Satellite 5200-902 notebook. Unfortunately there is no support for such an "old" notebook like this concerning Windows Vista. Vista runs great on it but the only thing I didn´t make is to make to FN buttons work in Vista.
    Can someone please give me an advice ?
    Thanks

    Hello Danny
    Unfortunately I do not believe you will have success with those buttons. The fact is that Toshiba use self designed utility for functionality of all FN buttons. As you know, old notebook models are not vista supported and you will not be able to find and install any utility for that.
    Sorry but there is nothing to do.

    There's an Apple help page on the DNS problem - at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408
    The first thing to try is changing your DNS settings - and for that you need to open System Preferences, then the
    Network section.
    In Network - click  on Advanced - then the DNS tab
    under DNS servers - use the + button to enter two extra lines
    either these, from google dns
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    or from OpenDNS
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then click OK & then 'Apply'
    You would need to do that seperately for the Cable (Ethernet) settings and Wireless (Airport)
