I need to know how to update my imac to 10.5 but i cannot find the update
I have an older Mac with the Mac OS X 10.4.11 that i got from my boss i been trying to update to 10.5 and above but its not letting me!! i dont know what else to do!! i have no itunes and cant download anything from the apple store HELP!!!!!
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.
Back up your data before upgrading.

I downloaded the latest iTunes software update and it properly installed. But, I cannot close the update window showing it was completed and the blue completion bar is full but cannot cancel or close it either. Any ideas on how to clear that out and close the window. Tried to quit on both the big window and the software update title in the menu bar. No luck.
Tried that by shutting down via the power button only as the normal shutdown was nixed by the open window issue. It did not help. Found a very similar question in the discussions and it recommended "Force Quit". That worked and the update works normal and the window is gone. Thanks!

My family put multiple devices on the icloud, and I need to know how to manage duplicate entries. Specifically contacts. If I fix the contact list on my pc will it push the info out to the other devices and maintain it correctly?
All devices signed into the same iCloud account will finish up with the same contacts. Of course if prior to joining iCloud two family members each had an entry for Uncle Fred, then you will finish up with two contact cards for Uncle Fred, and so on. If you tidy this up on your computer then the changes will propagate to everyone else.

I need to know how to deauthorize a computer for itunes sync but don't have any of the other computers where itunes was previously synced.
Read this. You will need to deauthorize all computers. If you don't have all 5 computers authorized, apparently this will not work. You have to reach the 5 computer limit first.

I have bought an iMAC second hand but when updates to purchased (not by me) Apps I cannot download the updates as it is asking for the original owners password. How can I amend this or could I delete the Apps and download new ones in place under my email
If the machine was upgraded to Lion 10.7.x by the original owner then you bought an illegal license of Lion and also of any other applications that the seller said came pre-installed, this assumes the seller did not include original install media. In that case you need to contact the seller for the original install DVDs that came with the machine re-install up to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then purchase Mountain Lion ($20) and the applications you want or need. If the seller cannot come up with the original install discs then you can buy them from a nominal cost from AppleCare..

HT4623 I cannot find the update section under Settings. What do I do?
I cannot find the update section under Settings. What do I do?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?
If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

I updated photoshop cc but I cannot see the updates when I launch photoshop? I have restarted the computer and that still doesn't help.
Installing the "Update" installs a totally new version. The old version of Photoshop CC is still installed. It is likely you are running the old version.

Sometimes older devices must be plugged into iTunes to update.

Creative Cloud is installed and working on my computer, nevertheless the Application "Adobe Illustrator" appears as "Installed and Updated" but it is physically NOT in my computer.
I cannot find the Application in my computer, I installed Photoshop and other Apps, they are all to find in my PC, except Illustrator.
I tried to uninstall Creative Cloud and all the Apps that I had, I re-installed creative cloud but still it showed "Adobe Illustrator" as "installed and updated", even if I have no Adobe illustrator folder on my Computer, it really does not exist in my computer.
What is wrong with the Application?Klerica please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html for information on how to reinstall Adobe Illustrator.

Downloaded itunes 7 update but it cannot find the installation file
I have had itunes installed and being used for about 3 years. I have the apple update utility loaded so i get notifaction of the lastest versions as the become available.
Following the most recent upgrade my itunes failed to load as it is telling me it cannot find the installation package as it is located on a network drive. (this is a standalone pc).
I cant open the version that was installed as it tells me i can only open installed items. To add insult to injury i cant remove it or install an earlier version.
Basically i cant use my ipod as i cant open, remove or re-install itunes. To say i am annoyed by this is an understatement.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.Following the most recent upgrade my itunes failed to load as it is telling me it cannot find the installation package as it is located on a network drive. (this is a standalone pc).
with one of those, let's try the following procedure.
first, head into your Add/Remove programs and uninstall your QuickTime. if it goes, good. if it doesn't, we'll just attend to it when we attend to itunes.
next, download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. use it to clear any existing itunes and/or QuickTime installation configuration information from the PC.
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
next, use the the following document as a guide for manual removal of leftover itunes and quicktime program files:
Removing iTunes and QuickTime for Windows
now try another itunes install. does it go through properly this time?
