I need to update! Please help!!
Ok, I am really having trouble here and am very frustrated. I have an eMac still on 10.2.8. This being my first computer, I didn't realize how important it is to do the updates and now I feel totally stuck. I got the Tiger update CD, but it won't install. I apparently have unfixable errors. I feel like I can't do anything with my computer anymore...and now my iPod is dying and I want a newer one, but I can't get one because it's not compatible with my computer.
I'm OBVIOUSLY not a technical person and am having trouble understanding all the tech jargon used in these messages. I've posted a couple of messages regarding this before, but I feel like I just need to start over. Can someone please help me figure out what my options are? As clearly as possible, please. I can't afford to buy another computer right now...
Thanks so much!
I really feel like a dumb blonde right now!

Hi Ashley!
Here are the system requirements:
Panther
-Macintosh with a PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
-Built-in USB
-At least 128MB of physical RAM
-Built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
-Mac OS X does not support processor upgrade cards.
Tiger
-A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
-Built-in FireWire
-At least 256 MB of RAM
-DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
-At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools
Does your eMac meet either of them?

Lightroom 4.4 keeps crashing saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" please help. I've tried reinstalling it and everything Windows 8.1
I assume you know where your catalogue file (the lrcat file) is located. In the same folder is a previews lrdata folder which you should delete or rename in Explorer, then start LR again.
If I've made incorrect assumptions above, sorry, and we'll go back over it from the start.

It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit. Please help.
I am a non profit. I ordered Photo shop Elements12 for PC for my office. It is a download only. It doesn't dowload on my computer. It only uses 32bit, and my computer needs 64bit. Please help. The Adobe photoshop elements 12 is useless to me. I can't seem to get anyone at Techsoup to help and trying to get Adobe to help is runaround. What should I do to get it to run on my computer. Please someone in the forum let me know how switch out the download for the correct one.
64-bit windows can run 32-bit applications just fine and always has. They are just limited to a small amount of memory. If something isn’t working it’s likely another problem like an incomplete download or trying to install the Mac version on a PC or something like that.
You can try downloading and installing from the PSE12 link, here, to see if it works any better:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
If you can’t get things to work, then please post a screenshot of the error and a description of what you’re trying to do that lead to the error.
Also the term “downloading” refers to transferring a file from a remote server, across the internet, to your local computer. The term “install” means running the program that was downloaded on your local computer to put the working program on your computer that you can run.
It would be helpful to know if your saying that the actual transfer across the internet part isn’t working, or if that part seemed to work, but when you run that installer program you’re seeing an error. -
My isight built in camera is only turning on for few second on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011 with osx Yosemite) when I use any camera needed app. Please help me. Its getting a little annoying.
If restarting Mac or reinstalling OS X does not correct this symptom, you likely have a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for service.

I'm sorry we cannot help you.
You have Jailbroken your device. Apple does not support Jailbreaking and as such having done so has voided your warranty and forfeited any support from Apple and by extension these forums. We are not allowed to discuss Jailbroken devices in any way by the Terms of Service of the forum.
You will have to find help elsewhere. Ask the person that installed Cydia to restore the phone. -

I need help to unjailbreak my iPod Touch now. I need assistance. Please help me!
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues
