I have an iMAC 10.5.8. What do i need to do to get 10.6.8 to run iTunes 7?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu.
If your computer has a PowerPC CPU, you need a newer Mac.
If your computer has an Intel CPU, phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and run Software Update.

  • I have an iMac (the desktop) I've stupidly left the cable you plug the monitor into the wall with there. What are they called and where can I get a new one?

    Presumably the mains cable, which you can get from an Apple Store.

  • HT1338 Hi,I have an iMac OS X, but I need to get the update to Mac OS X 10.4.7 in order to get Keynote , but I can't, how can I do it?

    Hi,
    I have an iMac OS X, but I need to get Keynote for a Powerpoint presentation, so when trying to download tells me to get Mac OS X 10.4.7, and if I try gettin Software update, I get none available, how can I do it?

    You need to either buy and install Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store, or purchase an iWork 09 DVD, or use a product such as OpenOffice instead of Keynote.

    I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro running windows 8 through bootcamp?

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
    It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

  • HT1444 I have a iMac 10.4.11. How do I upgrade/update? Thanks

    I have an iMAc 10.4.11. How do I upgrade/update? Thanks

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    In the US...
    1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • We have two IMac computers.  Do I need to purchase two upgrades to Lion or can I use one upgrade on bo†h on my computers?

    I have two IMac computers.  Both running the latest version on Snow Leopard.  To upgrade to Lion, do I need to purchase two upgrades or can I use one purchase for bo†h computers?
    Thanks,
    Alice

    As I understand the as yet unconfirmed rumor by me, is that once you pay for a single copy of Lion, every computer you have that's authorized under your Apple ID can download it, no limit on number.

  • I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

    I have a iMac Desktop and MacBook Pro laptop. I generate my work related files on both of these machines. After a few days or weeks, I have new files on some folders on either of the machines that is not on the other machine. What is the best way to keep the files in these machines synchronized?

    How did you transfer the files to the iMac.  If you exported the files out of the MB library using Kind = Current you should get the edited version.  Any other  option may not.
    If you want to keep the two libraries "synced"  any photos you want to move to the iMac should be added to an album, connect the two Mac with a LAN, Target Disk Mode,  Transferring files between two computers using FireWire, with WiFi. and use the paid version of  iPhoto Library Manager to copy that album from the MB library to iMac library.  It will also copy the original and edited versions, keywords, titles, etc.

  • I recently have installed Windows XP for my computer, but it does not start my Ipod information although I already installed Itunes. What should I do, if I do not have the CD to install it from there?

    Hello everyone, I recently installed Windows XP in my computer but now it does not start my Ipod classic information even I just have installed Itunes. What should I do if I do not have my CD to get it from there?

    Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

  • I have one iMac with 2 users. Will Home sharing allow me to share music between users? (running Mac OS 10.8.2

    I just seemed to get turned around when trying to share music on the same iMac.
    How do I share music between two different users with two different iTunes accounts on the same iMac. My wife and I simply want to be able to share music that she purchases with me and visa versa. We each have our own iPads and I am unsure of the proper way to do this so I don't messup the syncing of our iPads.
    Part of the reason I ask is that I see questions concerning two different computers. Does it make any difference that I am trying to share music between two users on the same iMac
    Thank you in advance for information helping me to understand the Home Sharing process.

    Hi, one question & one suggestion...
    What possible things are connected at home but not at the store, inlude every cable, etc.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • I have a iMac G5.  I can no longer download my tv shows because my start up disk has no space..what do I do?

    I have tried deleting things off my iMac to create more space.  I still get the message that my recently order TV series cannot be downloaded because I have very little space left on my start up disk.  I need guidance as to how to create more space.  Thanks

    It would be helpful if you would let us know which model iMac you have, but in general, the best thing to do would be to get an external firewire/USB drive and drag all your video and large files over to it, thus freeing up space on you internal drive.

  • I have a imac 7,1 and i NEED to upgrade.

    I have already paid for leopard to download for use on another system. How can i upgrade my imac from 10.5?! My safari and chrome dont work correctly because of some software issues because i am so far behind. How do i download?!

    You will have to puchase the Snow Leopard DVD directly from Apple's online store. A link to the US Store is:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If I misread your intent and you already have this then install it and then download and install the 10.6.8 update combo from:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    Then run Software Update and install any other updates Apple suggests. Finally backup your system completely and test the backup. Once you have done this then navigate to the Mac App Store and download Mavericks assuming your system has at least the minimum system requirements. I would STRONGLY recommend 4GB or more of RAM,  a 7.1 machine can accomodate 6GB, I would recommend that if you need a RAM upgrade. You can use reliable venors such as OWC (www.macsales.com) or Crucial.
    If you are not aware of the minimum system requirements for Mavericks  you can find them at:
