I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.

you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X.  Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems.  The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6.  Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

  • I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and my software update won't work

    I click software update and it checks if I have an update and it says I do. Then, I click "install and restart" then these multiple screens pop up asking if I want to install these certain updates and I click install for each one. Then my computer starts to restart and my screen never turns black, it turns to blue then my log in screen comes up. I log in and then that's that. nothing installs and then when I check for a software update again, the same thing pops up. HELP!

    Have you updated your OS to include the 10.6.8 Combo update along with the software updates since.
    You may need to apply the Combo updater.   Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1  and follow with a software update to pick up any later changes..

  • If there ever was a NEW update for iMovie, will iMovie have the ability to burn projects onto a Blu-Ray disc so that customers don't have to pay for additional software like Final Cut Pro or Roxio Toast Titanium/Pro?

    It would be helpful for those who are familier with iMovie to use Blu-Ray discs for burning and playing back their iMovie projects in HD. However, iMovie '11 doesn't have that special feature yet. I hear that 'Final Cut Pro X,' 'Roxio Toast 11 Titanium' and 'Roxio Toast 11 Pro' can copy projects like iMovie onto Blu-Ray, but it would take long periods of time to do that. Professional software, like FCP X and Toast, can be pricey.
    I'm hoping that iMovie '11 will burn projects onto Blu-Ray, but will that ever come true?

    Will iBlu-Ray be an upgrade? OR and update of iDVD?
    If it's an upgrade, then that means you'd still pay for it from the Mac App Store. I wish it would only cost between $20-40.
    If it's a free update of iDVD, but with the new name, that would be better than to go out and pay for things!!!
    However, external Blu-ray recorders would still be required if you were going to burn an iMovie project onto a blu-ray disc.
    Is there a way to put in a request for 'iBlu-Ray?'

  • I have mac OS X, Photoshop CC 64 bit and and i would like to run 32 bit plugins.. How may I do this ?

    I have mac OS X, Photoshop CC 64 bit and and i would like to run 32 bit plugins.. How may I do this ?

    As said already by JJMack, you cannot do that.
    Photoshop CS6, CC & CC 2014 only install a 64-bit version on Mac OS.
    Photoshop CS5 installs a version that can launch in either 32 bit or 64 bit when you install on a 64-bit version of Mac OS (Mac OS X 10.5 or later). If you are using Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier, then Photoshop only installs the 32-bit version.
    Photoshop CS4 installs a 32-bit version only.
    64-bit OS benefits, limitations

  • I have Mac os x with 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade, what is the next operating software from a 10.4.11 for a g4

    I have Mac os x with 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade, what is the next operating software from a 10.4.11 for a g4 and can it be done on a g4

    If you have a processor of 867 MHz or faster and a minimum of 512 MB of RAM, you can run OS X Leopard, updated to 10.5.8.
    That's as far as a G4 can go.
    Check eBay for discs:

    No Snow Leopard, 10.6x or Lion, 10.7x.
    they won't run in a PPC Mac.

    Hi there saharalirezaie,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
    Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

    I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and when i try to update it nothing comes up. How can I update it?

    If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
    If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6.

    I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and need to update to OS X version 10.8 how can I do so?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

    i have mac os x 10.6.8 version and my java is version 6 and it deosnt work since yesterday and it gives error?
    i really hope someone can help me with it because i really need java

    I followed that and Java .jnlp files still do not work after downloading them manualy and double-click. What's next?
    Java -version show the right version.
    I need to get this fixed as it is thrid day when after applying OsX updates things got broken.  I would prefer to have Java functional and be exposed to security risk than not having working at all.
    How do I fix my Java .jnlp when I have all updates for 10.6.8 and running Safari 5.1.10 ?
    I do not want to upgrade as I am scared that other things will break.
    Please help.

    If your Mac meets these requirements:

    then you can order a Snow Leopard disk and install it.

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

  • I have Mac using OS X 10.5.8 and need to upgrade, my book has freezing up a lot also.

    I have Mac using OS X 10.5.8 and need to upgrade, my book has freezing up a lot also what can i do as far as instalation of a newer software

    you might want to check your battery. my MacBook was freezing up a lot too. and just this morning wouldn't even start. tho it was plugged in. fooled around with the plug, still no go.
    Checked battery. fully charged.
    took it out, and it wouldn't go back in, then noticed there's a slight bulge on the inside.
    This is definitely not good.
    So plugged it in without the battery. started up fine. and has not frozen yet. while looking for battery replacements on eBay. for hours now. lots of really inexpensive replacemnt ones.
    if that is your problem, check seller's reliability first.
