Your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements. There isn't anything you are going to be able to do to get it to work. The lowest model that can run it is 5,1 you MacBook is too outdated to be able to run Mavericks.

Im using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to the new lion. Does it matter how i do it?

Im using Mac OS X 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to the new lion. Does it matter how i do it?

Does your computer meet the requirements:
Lion System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Recommended process:
How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion:
Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
Follow instructions for installation.

I have recently run across a very similar issue and wondering if you ever got to the bottom of yours.
I have been using an iMac for 2 years with a Synology drive and no issues. A few days ago I bought a new Macbook Air and when I connect to the Synology server some files are greyed out and will give the message above.
What is strange is there does not seem to be a pattern. I have two excel files in the same directory one is fine and the other is greyed out. The greyed out file is only a later copy of the OK file.
Everything is still working fine on the iMac it is only the Air that has the issue. Both machines are on the latest patches of Lion.

What version do you have?
iPhoto menu -> About iphoto.
What goes to your iPad/iPhone is controlled in iTunes.

Connect the HDD to your MBP. Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field. The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on the Erase button.
Then try the clone process again. You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
Ciao.

It doesn't appear to be Mountain Lion compatible. See below.
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)

Using firefox version 10.5.8 now-can I upgrade to the new operating system?

I'm still using the firefox version 10.5.8 operating system and now my comuter is freezing up and now working well with some web sites.
I use my computer for work and have so many documents I can't afford to lose informaiton.
Help please... is there a way I can upgrade to the newer operating system without putting my documents at risk?

Tinacoffee,
Firefox is a browser; do you mean that your MacBook Pro currently has Mac OS X 10.5.8 (“Leopard”) as its operating system?
If you can’t afford to lose your documents, have you been making regular backups of your MacBook Pro’s internal disk to date?
You can upgrade your MacBook Pro to at least Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8). Depending upon which model you have, you could potentially upgrade it to the current version, Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2), but you’ll need to get to 10.6.8 before you can upgrade any further. You can do that by purchasing the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, installing Snow Leopard, and then running Software Update to get to 10.6.8. Note that if you currently depend upon any PowerPC applications, they will not work on versions of OS X later than 10.6.8. You might also need to upgrade its installed RAM to ensure good performance on a newer operating system.
Before you do any operating system upgrade, be sure that you have made a backup of your valuable documents.
Note that your current freeze up could be resolvable without having to upgrade your operating system. Would you prefer to stay with Leopard and resolve the freeze, or would you prefer to upgrade to a newer operating system?

{file} is used by Mac OS X and can't be opened

This file is a video file and the lock that OS X has on it is persistent between reboots.
Anyone know how to get OS X to let go of the file and let me watch it please?
Thanks

Thanks for the response. Indeed - I've never heard of such a thing as you describe.
Wondering: what app are you using to open this video file and what is the video file format?
What I'm thinking (just in case you haven't tried this) is that you could do a Get Info on this file and then use the "open with" dialogue to assign (or re-assign) the proper application for opening that file and all other video files with that file extension.
Just a chance that might correct the System ownership issue.
Other than that, the only alternative I can think of is to log in as Root User and go from there. I think you would then be able to play the video but you won't want to stay on as Root User - that's for certain.
While logged on as Root User, you might again try changing permissions or even try using a video conversion app to change the video file to a new format - and then rename and apply permissions.
I think the real probability isn't going to please you: I think this file is corrupted and if it's the only copy you have, it's "junk." But the above experiment would likely prove that either way.

How can I scroll through my playlists under "music" when synching my phone? Using a mac book air and can't scroll.

I keep synching my phone to remove playlists and I can't scroll through my options under "music" in the synch. I actually can't scroll through the landing page fro synch either. Is there something special I need to be doing?

How are you trying to scroll?
Are you using two fingers on the touchpad?

How can I keep my MacBook safe is Apple is no longer supporting Snow Leopard? My MacBook was purchased in 2006 and cannot be upgraded to the newer operating systems.

I have a MacBook which I purchased in 2006. It cannot upgrade to newer operating systems.Since Apple has stopped support to Snow Leopard, how can I keep my MacBook safe? Buying another computer is not an option. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks.

Apple still sell, and therefore support, Snow Leopard.
For what it's worth, from my reading of the Snow Leopard EULA (and I would assume that there is similar language in the EULAs for all other operating systems, as well), I'm not seeing any obligation on the part of Apple to provide Security Updates of any kind, period/full stop. The wording appears to be completely "use at your own risk." I have no idea whether this "use at your own risk" would survive a legal challenge, or if such a legal challenge would depend on whether or not Apple is still selling (or even giving away for free) an OS, or whether local law would, according to this, override the EULA. Perhaps this is why Apple never formally announces EOL or discontinuance of support for an OS. They can always claim that they are still supporting an OS, whether or not in any practical sense, they are. There was even a very late Flashback detection and removal script which Apple issued for 10.5 well after it was clear that they had stopped supporting Leopard. This hardly constituted ongoing support, but perhaps it was to deter the threat of legal action, or maybe it was simply out of benevolence. I don't know.
Besides that, even when Apple was still actively "supporting" Snow Leopard, which I don't think it is any longer, "use at your own risk" would still have applied to a case where Apple may have been late with a patch, or a response, or an adequate response, to a zero-day threat, such as Flashback was, which was constantly evolving. Many thousands were affected by that, and, to my knowledge, at least, there was no legal action directed at Apple throughout or after that episode. If there was any, I don't think it succeeded.

I have the old ipod touch, can i upgrade to the new one and just pay the difference?

I have the ipod touch 2 and i bought it used a couple of months ago from Apple. I want to tak it in to apple and return it and get the new Ipod Touch and just have to pay the difference, is this possible?

Apple has a recycle program, but it will only give you 10% of a new iPod. Your best bet is to sell the existing iPod and use the proceeds to purchase a new unit.

I have an iMac Intel 2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded. Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed. Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

I have CS5 and want to upgrade to the new Photoshop and Lightroom.

Is it possible to install Indesign & Illustrator (CS5) and use the new PS and LR?

yes, you can use older versions of adobe programs and new versions at the same time.
i think the best deal for ps and lr is the photographer bundle for $9.99/mo, Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
