I have version 10.5.8 and I can't seem to install Lion

I need some help. I have Lion on a usb stick and i'm trying to install it to my OS X 10.5.8 but it keeps telling me I cannot use this version of OS X with Lion istall. Please Help!~

Phoenix,
Like the others mentioned you need the 10.6.8 version to do an upgrade over your existing OS.
Have you tried a clean install after backing up your data and erasing your HDD? I'm assuming your hardware qualifies. If your USB stick is bootable you could do a clean install with it. Or if you have the InstallESD.dmg file, burn it to DVD and perform a clean install.

MAC OSX version 10.4.11 and I can't seem to open any PDF
I'm having this problem as well. I have both Acrobat Professional 8.1.2 and Adobe Reader 8.1.2 installed with the proper internet plug-in, using OS 10.4.11. When I try to open a pdf file in Safari I get a window asking me to choose an application to open the file, but both applications are dimmed and cannot be selected. I have tried re-installing Acrobat Reader, but without success. In Firefox I simply get a blank, darkened window. __Previously, before I installed Leopard and was using Tiger, I had Acrobat Reader 7.0 as well as AR 8.0 installed, and I was only able to select AR 7.0, but it worked. Now nothing works. This is a serious problem that Adobe needs to address!

I no longer have safari on my computer and I can't seem to be able to download it what can I do?

I can't even use the internet unless I'm on realplayer because I don't have another source of browser. I can't download anything. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and everything is too updated for me too download.

I'm assuming you actually deleted Safari from the Application Folder, not just "poofe" it off your Dock, right?
If you have your original 10.5.x OS install disks, you can recover it.

I have subscribed to Adobe Acrobat XI but the trial version keeps popping up and I can't seem to access the program I am paying for!

I trialed the Adobe XI and signed up for the subscription. I thought I had downloaded it but I cannot seem to access it. The trial version keeps blocking me.

close acrobat > sign out and then back in to your cc desktop app.> open acrobat.

I mistakenly downloaded the explicit version of a song and now can't seem to delete it. I've put the file in the trash, I've deleted it in my music library but everytime I sync my phone to my computer it reappears. Help! This is so frustrating.

I purchased an explicit version of a song by mistake. I then went back on line and purchased the clean version. I've deleted it from my itunes library but when I sync it with my phone, it reappears. How do I remove it permanently? It almost seems like what's on my phone is what appears on my computer and not the other way around.
Help!

For most things that's true, but purchases are the exception.

I have an Ipod 1st gen, and I can't seem to make an Apple ID without giving my credit card number. I even looked up how to make one without the credit card number, but it doesn't show up as an option when i follow the instructions. Help anyone?

If you only want the free iPhone/iPod apps, take a look here:

Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
Regards.

I have version 3.6.16 and when I login to my hotmail account, and type the first letter of the email address, a drop down box appears with my hotmail address and I can choose it from that box with a click. How do I get version 4 to do this? Thanks.

The new but not-ready-for-prime-time autocomplete method searches for matches that contain the entered text, not just ones that begin with the string. Your options are:
1) type in longer strings that narrow the search
2) use an add-on to search just the beginnings:

3) install an older version of TB:

You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

I can't get to download the app store after all the updates. I have version 10.6.8 and there are no more available updates for my operating system.

Look in the HD/Applications folder.

I have version 4.1.2 and recorded a lead guitar track (live classical guitar) using the acoustic guitar echoes (flange enabled). Now, when I burn a CD, the guitar track is very weak. Any clues?

I have version 4.1.2 and have been doing great rercording for several years. I use only real instruments. This week I added "acoustic guitar echoes" to my classical guitar, and that enabled the "flanger" setting which is what I wanted. Mysteriously, every time I burn a test CD, that lead guitar track is very weak, even though the recording level is quite high. Nothing I have done has helped the mix. Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to circumvent it? I've tried burning straight from GB to a CD and also via Itunes; it doesn't make any difference. Thanks.

P.S. I usually record my classical guitar on the "vocal" and "live performance" settings, using my Blue YETI mic, set on stereo. I get great recordings which always transfer perfectly to my CDs. I'm puzzled why adding the acoustic guitar echoes would be failing in the burn process. Hope this clarifies.

HT5090 I have version 10.0.3 and I am having a problem shareing my finished project. No matter what I do the share option is ghosted.

I have version 10.0.3 and have a problem getting my project shared. The shared option is always ghosted when I try to send it to iDVD.

Do you need to remain in 10.0.3? Do you have a backup of the application? You may need to reinstall it.
