I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8
I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6. Is there a suitable hard drive? I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in. 500GB should be more than adequate.
Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

I have an iMac,Apple tv and want to watch tv programs on my HD tv. These programs are on the stations web site but I am unable to watch anything on my brousers
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not sure what you are asking, but if you want to watch TV stations you can watch on your mac in a web browser on the Apple TV instead, I'm sorry you can't do that. -

I have bought the new photoshop cc but i can't find where to download it?
Hi Rebecca
I spend a fair bit of time answering question on this forum, but I had to do a clean reinstall of my operating system, and reload all programs recently. And I can't say it was particulary easy to find and download the Desktop Application manager, which handles the rest of the installations for you.

I have just bought iPhone 3gs in Sept.11. I was trying to update the software using itunes but it is showing Error "-3259" saying connection timeout. Please help.
Did you already check your securit software settings? iTunes has to contact Apple during the update process.
See this article: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues -
IOS 8 - using Siri but she can't find contacts that I clearly have in my address book. Why? I can find them manually.
I have this issue also. I ask Siri to call a contact, it repeats and spells the contact exactly as it is in my contacts, then says it cannot find it. This happens for multiple contacts...

I backed up my phone yesterday on iTunes as I normally do and as I do not have enough memory I had to delete my photos to update the software. If I backup in a month will that override my last backup on iTunes and will I lose my photos. Plz help
you can change the sync settings in itunes. plug your phone into the computer, select the device in the side bar (it should have an iphone icon next to it), then select the tab for photos to modify the settings for what will and will not be synced.

I have a 1st generation iPad and recently updated to iOS 5. However, I can't find my AppStore app icon now. Like it's disappeared!
How do I get the icon back?Do your have Restrictions turned on? Settings>General.
If that's not it, scroll to the left until you get to the search page. enter "App Store", does this find the app? If so, then the icon is lost on some later page or is in some folder. -
I have a 10.4.11 system. Is there a suitable hard drive back up available.
I have a 10.4.11 operating system and tried 2 back up hard drives but both have incompatible. Is there a suitable device available?
You can use Carbon Copy Cloner - http://www.bombich.com/download.html just be sure to download version 3.4.7
CCC is more than just a backup - it will make a fully bootable clone of your system. Once completed, you can boot from the external CCC drive and you will be running your exact same system just as it was at the time you made the clone. To restore from the clone, you would boot from it, and then run CCC in reverse - from the clone back to the internal hard drive.
If you need to restore individual files, the clone volume mounts to your desktop like any other external volume, and you can drag and drop to copy the backup versions onto your internal hard disk folders.
CCC will also make incremental updates once the original clone has been created.
It has been a mainstay for OS X backup/cloning for many years now. -
I took 3500 pictures with an iPhone 5 and a Canon Ixus camera whil on holiday in China. I downloaded them onto my MacBook every day.
Now we're back home I want to back them up onto my Windows 7 PC as it has a 1 TB HDD.
My PC and MacBook can see each other over the wi-fi network (the PC has an Ethernet connection to the wifi router) and the MacBook can copy files from the PC but not vice versa although the PC can "see" the MacBook - just not copy or transfer any files.
Also when I look for the jpegs for my holiday pics I can't find them on the MacBook though they open happily in iPhoto. When I look in my iPhoto library it seems to have (among other things) an XML file as a database but no actual jpegs. There are some jpegs on the MacBook but these are from photos I transferred from the PC before I out the 1TB HDD in.
Where are the actual photos stored and how can I transfer them to the PC over the wifi network?Selectthem in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder - see the user tip on exporting for edtails on the options available - from there it has not involvement of iPhoto - what access you have andhow you access the Mac disk is a subject for a differnt forum
Direct access to the contents of the ihoto library - a SQLite database - is not supported

Any one have a solution on my problem?
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

How do I sign out of my apple i.d. Using my iPad then sign back n using my other apple I.d? I can't find the option anywhere on my iPad to do this. Anyone know how?
What ID do you want to change? To change your iTunes ID, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID. To change the ID for iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive. To change the ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. To change the ID for iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.

I transferred everything over with an ethernet cable. All my apps are working... Photoshop... Illustrator... InDesign won't though.
adobe products are especially prone to problems when 'migrated'. they should be properly install using the installation files.
at this point, uninstall your cs 5.5, clean and reinstall using the proper installation files, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Mac OS 10.4 is the limit for my old Mac. I get the message that I should upgrade to a newer version of Firefox than 3.6.25, but the "tell me more" and other links it presents me offer no hint of that newer compatible version.
Firefox 3.6.x is the last version of Firefox available from Mozilla for PPC Macs and 10.4. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />
