I'm trying to upgrade a model MB292LL iPad to iOS 6
I'm trying to upgrade a model MB292LL iPad currently using iOS 5.1.1 to 6, but when checking "software update" I''m being told "software is up to date" - can this model be updated to 6? If so, what should I do differently?
Well, I do appreciate you pointing out the obvious .
Homwever, I still must ask WHY can't it?
Does the 1st generation Ipad not have a cpu capable of handling the software?
Is it some complex amount of code that the 1st gen Ipad is not able to handle?
I find it quite interesting, as I still have my 1st gen Iphone as well.

I'm trying to upgrade WordGem on my IPad with no success using my I tune account. The problem is the tow security questions which I haven't done before.
Hi there Nabila Bakry!
It sounds like you may need to reset your security questions. This can be done by following the instructions in this article:

i purchased my imac 6/07 ... model 6,1 it has 4 gb ram and plenty of free space, also connected to time machine for backup. currently have latest lion os 10.7.4.
when i went to upgrade i get a model not supported message? what spec or device integral to my model is holding this back? can i get around this or am i just at a brick wall? would like to upgrade if possible? have a 2.33 ghz intel core duo processor, 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
anyone know what is going on with apple and this model, wife has last years mac mini and it's upgrade went off without a hitch
thanks !Apple has tightened its requirements for this OS upgrade, and some older Macs— even ones that qualified for Lion — won't make the cut for Mountain Lion.
The general system requirements are straightforward:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Apple also lists which models support Mountain Lion:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
From what i've read elsewhere, your older model of iMac has a CPU and logic board that partially runs in 32 bit mode at times. Mountain Lion requires that they run Exclusively in pure 64 bit mode. Yours cannot be made to do that.
Hope this helps -
I upgraded my "new ipad" (the 3rd generation I think) to ios 6.0.1 and now am experiencing various issues.
1- Neither Pages or Numbers will open. I just see a gray screen that says Pages or Numbers at the top and all of my documents are gone. The icon that allows me to create a new document also does not appear. I went to icloud.com to see whether my documents still existed, which brings me to the 2nd problem.
2- It appears that all of my Pages documents are still on icloud, but all of my Numbers documents are gone. There were only about 10, but I access 2 of them nearly every day, so this is a big issue for me.
I went into Settings and all of the icloud information is correct and it "Documents & Data" is on. When I look at the storage, I see the Pages documents but not the Numbers ones. The next thing I did was turn my ipad off and back on, but this didn't fix anything. Since my Pages documents are still on icloud, I then tried to delete the Pages app from the ipad so that I could reinstall it, which resulted in the 3rd problem.
3- I cannot delete any apps. I can get all of the icons to shake and the small x IS available, but everything freezes when I click it. I can't do anything at that point except reset the ipad or wait until it eventually restarts itself. I've tried this with Pages as well as multiple other apps, all with the same result. I've also tried downloading a new app (which worked fine) and then deleting that one, but I got the same result.
3a- A small related issue to this that I am far less concerned about is that when the ipad restarts itself, it comes back on and the screen is really dark and I can barely make out what appears on the screen. If I enter my password right away, it stays that way until I go into Settings - Brightness & Wallpaper and touch the brightness setting (although I'm not actually changing the setting because it already shows that the brightness is turned up a little over halfway). If I don't enter my password right away and let it go completely dark, then click the home button, the brightness is fine.
So now I'm stuck. My guess is that I will need to restore it, but wanted to check before I take that step. Unfortunately, my laptop is on its deathbed so I haven't been synching my ipad to it and I fear my Numbers documents are gone forever. I'd like to try everything I can to fix these issues before doing the restore in hopes that I can get the Numbers documents back.
Any suggestions for any or all of these problems?Purplehiddledog wrote:
I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
I upgraded my first gen iPad to iOS 5.1 and wifi no longer works.
This is the weirdest problem. I can see the networks available. I appear to connect to them, and can see signal strength bars. When I try to use that connection, nothing works. I can't access URLs through safari, I can't get to YouTube or iTunes, I can't download email ... nothing. I've tried this on multiple networks and all are the same. Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix ... Or a way to revert to 5.0.1?
BTW, 3G works just fine, but I have to disable wifi in order to drop back into 3G mode.I just updated my original iPad 32 GB WiFi to iOS 5.1 about fifteen minutes ago. But I did it with the system restore feature in iTunes. So it wiped out everything on my iPad. But it did work. Then I restored an earlier backup and all went fine. Maybe you could try backing up your iPad and then using Restore to get it back to factory settings to see what happens.

HT4972 why can't i update the software on my ipad model MB292LL?
Why can't I update the software for my IPad model MB292LL? The ios is 5.1.1 and I have seen newer ios versions come out. Also, many apps aren't available for my Ipad because of the ios. Is this Apple's way of forcing you to buy a new IPad? If so, that *****!
The 1st generation iPad can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

Trying to upgrade to 10.4 but keep hitting a snag
I'm in the process of trying to upgrade to 10.4, and the Read First file on the install disk says that you should do a Software Update to make sure everything's up to date, but when I go to Software Update from the Apple menu, nothing happens. I tried it several times, and when it still didn't do anything, I thought maybe that meant that everything was updated and OK (silly me!), so I figured I'd go ahead and try to start the install and see what happened. But when I tried to start the Install going, which means you have to restart and it automatically starts the installation, it just kept putting up a screen that said I'd have to restart again. I'd restart by hitting the little button underneath the power button, and it would look like the installation was going to start, but then it just keeps putting up the screen that says to restart again. I thought maybe the disk permissions needed to be verified or something, so I ran the disk utility and it showed that a few of the permissions had to be reset, giving new numbers, so I was hoping that would make things better, but I still can't get Software Update to do anything. Can anybody give me a clue as to what's going on and what I can do to get this upgrade installed? Any help you can give me will be gratefully accepted!
You're Welcome Valerie!
"...my install disk is 10.3.2,..."
That is the disc you should use, to Repair Disk.
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, on the Menubar at the top of the screen, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.Repeat steps 5 & 6, but select the Hard Drive this time. It's usually the first listed with the manufacturer's model number. Make note of the S.M.A.R.T. status.
8.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
9.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
10.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
11.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
I also suggest that you run Repair Permissions, using Disk Utility, not Cocktail.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
Rerun RP, until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x, authored by Michael Conniff.
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
"...when you say "all peripherals," does this include disconnecting the modem?"
If possible , yes.
At least until you resolve the Kernel Panic issue.
"The only way it'll function successfully, ... is after I've run Cocktail and restarted the machine."
This is not normal.
Your system seems to have some type of corruption, and until you resolve the current issues, you should not update to Tiger 10.4.x.
Unless you create a complete system backup, and perform an Erase & Install.
Upgrading a corrupt system, will create a corrupt new system.
"Memory shows 384 MB SDRAM.'
Is that "original" or added.
Use Rember, to run a test of it.
Although the the RAM requirement for Tiger, is 256MB, that is the bare minimum.
For optimum performance, once you successfully install Tiger, you should increase the RAM.
Post any results, status, or progress.

Trying to Upgrade from Leopard 10.5 to Mountain Lion
Im trying to upgrade my imac model 2008 to mountain lion, (it will support it, I have upgraded the ram and confirmed it the serial # with the apple website to be sure) Currently its running leopard. Not snow leopard just leopard. This is cruital because it means Im still on osx version 10.5, it also means I don't have the app store icon available to me, as you need at least snow leopard or 10.6 to get the app store.
I've tried to upgrade to mountain lion via itunes,
it telling me its not available to me as Im in canada and even tho I know its avilable here itunes doesn't seem to know that.
I think If I can upgrade to snow leopard or lion and get the app store on my imac I can get around these issues. I can no longer download snow leopard from apple.Is there a reliable place to get it or to skip over it to lion?
Im not new to computeras at all but my experience with mac's is limited so I want to be sure I do this right the first time.
I need to get to 10.6, is there an easier way to do this than I've outlined?
If anyone could provide any help or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it. A Reliable download location or an alternative work around would be fantastic.Phone the Apple Store and order Snow Leopard.

I am trying to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but when I click on download, nothing happens. It shows as purchased but nothing is happening. I have the MacBook Pro Late 2011 model. I am unable to load any new apps because it says that I don't have the latest OS version. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would appreciate it! Thanks
I installed 'Mavericks' on my Macbook Pro and am sorry I did !
It wiped my Mac's hard drive totally clean!
A technician here was able to reload the original OS but all my pictures, files and contacts were
sent God knows where !
I should have done a back up, so I learned my lesson the hard way !
What really annoyed me was that this is an Apple program, so I wrongly assumed it would be a safe download.
Wrong !
He told me that others in our small town had experienced the same problem, and since we live in a small community of about 6000, I wonder how many others have had this problem in more populated centers ?
Everything is thankfully up and running again ( at great expense in time and money ) but I will exercise more jurisprudence in future offers for any upgrades! -
trying to upgrade to Mountain Lion, error message; " product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" ??
what to do? This is in App store. I followed the link e-mailed to me that an upgrade was available....... Puzzled.Several causes for this problem have been reported. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when it's resolved.
Step 1
Back up all data.
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If any proxy options are selected, make a note of them and then deselect them. You don’t need to change the bypass or FTP settings. Click OK and then Apply. Test. The result may be that you can't connect to any web server. Restore the previous settings if that happens.
Step 2
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 3
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
