I have an old mac version 10.5.8 I need to update to snow leopard and my disc drive isn't working... Can I download snow leopard without a disc?
Snow Leopard is only available on disk. Furthermore, even if you had a working disk drive, you may not be able to install Snow Leopard anyway, depending on just how "old" your Mac is. It must have an Intel processor to run Snow Leopard (Macs with Intel processors were first made in 2006), among other requirements.

I currently have OSX 10.4.11 and need to upgrade my software. I do not have Time Machine yet. My processor is an intel Core 2 duo. Do I have to upgrade to snow leopard 10.6.8 before upgrading to Mavericks?
Assuming your computer has the minimum system requirements yes, upgrade to 10.6.8 and then open the Mac App Store and upgrade to Mavericks. You can only get SL 10.6.x from Apple's online store, it is $20. Prior to upgrading to 10.6.x get an external HD and use a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and make a bootable clone of your system to safeguard all of your valuable data. In the event you have a problem the backup will be invaluable!!!!!
Considering your computer is at best a 2007 iMac I would STRONGLY recommend upgrading your RAM to 6GB, the maximum a 2007 machine can accommodate. You can buy this from either Crucial or OWC (www.macsales.com).
Another option is due to the age of your computer is considering buying a newer machine. -
I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

I have a Macbook 10.7.5. Just got an iphone 4s and need to upgrade the iphoto on Macb to use icloud. Can you tell me how to go about it? That is, which upgrades do I need and in what order? Thank you
NOTE: if you upgrade to Mavericks you'll have to purchase iPhoto 9.5.1 from the App Store as your current version does not qualify for a free upgrade.

My old computer broke and I lost all my music. I have now purchased a new computer and downloaded all my music again through the store but can not figure how to download my ringtones again. How do you download your ringtones again without buying them again??? Thankyou in advance
You cannot redownload ringtones.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Have you failed to do this? -

Bought Aperture 3.3 upgrade on Mac and need to upgrade my other mac
I purchased aperture 3.3 upgrade on my Mac and have another mac with an older version of Aperture. How can I upgrade on my other mac.
Appreciate the help.ah yes that would change it a little
copy the DMG (if you downloaded it) to your other system and install it there
or download the demo on the other system (the one running AP2) and put the serial number in there -
I have an unlocked iphone 3gs how do i upgrade without losing my unlocked status without having to pay to unlock it again.
Updating and restoring does not lock, but if you have a jailbreak (not AppleSoftware) and you return to Apple Software then it will lock. After all Apple has to keep to the law. It is even possible, that the jailbreak software makes it impossible to install Apple Software again and your iPhone will be inoperable after you try the update.
So If you officially unlocked you are fine and if you had a jailbreak, there is nothing an Apple forum can do for you. -
Discimagemounter and Disc Utility does not work, can't open .dmg HELP PLEASE
Hello.
I've got a problem with my Mac when I try to open .dmg files I've downloaded. When I open the file it opens then instantly closes down, and when I choose "open with" and try to open with Disc Utility, it says that it quit unexpectedly and asks me to send a report or close it down. I also tried downloading stuff like "iGetter" to open files with, but since I can't open downloaded files I'm stuck in this mess.
I can't repair permissions either, since neither Disc Utility or DiscImagemounter works.
What do I do?Backup your files off the machine to a storage drive (not TimeMachine only) disconnect

How do I upgrade OSX 10.6.8 to 10.7. Turbotax no longer can work on 10.6.8.
Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

It will only open the firefox opening window, nothing else. If I put in my home page, Yahoo, it says it can't find the server. Same for any other URL. I fully deleted Firefox, including the FireFox folder in applications, and reinstalled to no avail.
{Ctrl + P} and select your printer in the Printer - Name box near the top of that window.

Hello, I upgraded my laptop from Snow Leopard to lion, unfortunately I have a 2 music programs that no longer work. one is called the Music PadPro, which is now gone bankrupt, can anyone help?. I was talking to the Apple Store earlier and they said if I upgrade to the mountain lion it may help but I'm not so sure,
kind regards
NigelThere's no reason that upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion would make this application work. I've looked up Music PadPro. I don't know much about it, but it looks pretty old. Here are the requirements:
Macintosh G4 or higher processor running Mac OS X Version 10.2.6 (minimum),
Mac OS X Version 10.3.2 (recommended), or Mac OS X Version 10.4.2.
Looking at that, I would guess that the application would require a PowerPC processor. After the release of the Intel machines back in 2006, Apple included something called Rosetta within OS X. This allowed programs developed for the older architecture (PowerPC) to run on the newer Intel machines. The reason for this was to give developers some time to upgrade their applications to run natively on Intel processors. It was only with the introduction of Lion that Apple pulled Rosetta from their OS. They had basically given developers about five years to upgrade their applications. Unfortunately, in your case, the developer went belly up. You can always install an older version of the OS on either a separate partition or an external drive and you can run your program from there. -
