I need to update software on my MAC and dont know whats needed.

I am still running the 10.5.8 asnd have itunes 10.6.3, and am unable now to use itunes to sink to devices. I have tried to download a more recent version of itunes but was unsuccesful in the install. I see there is updates I can download( and need) but need to know where to find these. I will continue to search through discussions, but would appreciate some help.
Thank You

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

Other countries...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

1/23/14 update erase a dll file and who knows what else. I had to restore my computer back several months to get the file back. I just got another update package. Is it safe to use?

Thank you. After two system restores and three program removals using the control panel I got itunes back. I would feel better if Apple would include items you don't need options in installs so that the constant checking for what is not there would not create problems. For me it was MobileMe associations. I never would have thought of Bonjour and (Quicktime - which I don't even use but did not remove just in case)
Again, Thanks!.

I need to purchase "tune up utilities" but i dont know what "product key" is.

Product Name: s5-1204 Product #QW793AA#ABA windows 7 64 bit I know very little about comuters...my trial tuneup utilities has expired when ordering i am asked for "Product Key" dont know what that is ..

Hi there puppies!: I would go with iolo system Mechanic 12, Desktop Utilities either one will give keep your machine in excellent shape plus allow you to tweak Windows your way! & Desktop utilities can also change the Command Prompt colors from the staid stolid black background with white letters to any color that's represented in Windows as well
if you also need anything to do with HD partitioning & setup then Partition Commander is an excellent program for HD configuration
good luck
hope this helps

Updated software on my mac and after reset it came up with 2 hard drives

one was a back up mistakenly I have clicked that now I don't know what to do help please I'm stressed I have gone into the utility fix thing says my files are there but I can't do anything else the tool bar at the bottom isn't even there
I really need help

What did it call the two hard drives? Was one macintosh hard drie and the other recovery hard drive? If you cannot click Restart, try turning the power off, what a few seconds, then power up again holding the Opt key. You will get an image of the available hard drives, after the little gear stops spinning select the macintosh hard drive, your normal boot drive, and proceed to boot.

Connect your phone to itunes and restore it by clicking the restore button, then restore from backup.

HT5868 Update software for the Mac and now my phone keeps asking the Trust Computer question. I tap trust and nothing. It asks me repeatedly

My phone will not allow me to connect to my computer. It asks me repeatedly if I "trust" the computer and I tap trust each time; and nothing. I did upgrade the computer to Snow Leopard yesterday and was able to connect the Ipad mini, but not the phone.

I finally was able to solve my problem. I'm not sure why it happened but after updating my iPad to the most recent iOS, it works just fine. I had iOS 8 before, but it was the first release, not the update. I have the latest iTunes on my computer so maybe they weren't compatible. Anyway, if anyone else is having this problem, make sure everything is up to date.

Help needed! I don't understand and dont know what to buy!

Hi there
I am trying to work out whether to buy a 30 or 80 gig Ipod; I am going o/s to South America later this year and want to save photos on my Ipod. I am just wondering a few things:
1. is it possible to put photos straight from camera to ipod?
2. is it possible to put photos onto Ipod from computer that doesn't have itunes (ie. in internet cafe)?
3. once photos are on ipod only, can i put them onto my computer back home?
4. does the resolution/size of photos get changed
Is it worth doing this or should I just get the 30 gig and save my photos on cds? I am sooo confused!!!!
Thanks for your help!!!

Hi.
1. Yes. You need the camera connector and a compatible camera.
2. Yes. My advice if not using your computer is to enable disk use on your iPod via iTunes, then when you connect it in an internet cafe, you can delve around the various folder and access your pictures.
3. Yes assuming you don't delete them (if you are on a mac it will load them into iPhoto for you).
4. No.
It depends. If you are going away, have an ipod and a camera, then there unless you want to buy lots of sd cards or the like, then it's a great alternative.

Need a part for a Desk Jet 550C, dont know what it is, but i have a picture

im trying to find a replacement part for my old Desk Jet 550C
i think its called a cap, and prevents the cartridge from drying out.
*sigh*
wont let me insert the image for whatever reason so ill post the direct link
http://i.imgur.com/1OmU0RM.jpg
there are reccessed spaces for 1 rectangular cap on the left (for the black cartridge) and 1 square cap on the right (for the color cartridge)
they are made out of some kind of a rubbery material. i have the cap for the color cartridge, but it is removed currently as i have just washed all the old ink out of it and its still drying.
Edit: more pics, more info
took me about 2 or 3 minutes to safely and carefully get the printer taken apart, at which point i found the missing 'cap'
here is a picture of them both, but the left cap is brittle, and still needs to be replaced if at all possible. (left cap is for the black ink cartridge, right cap is for the color cartridge; both cartridges rest atop these caps to seal the cartridges whenever they are not actively printing on a page)
http://i.imgur.com/U3DCml7.jpg
found a few things also in there that raised a few questions
1: what is this? its is by the back right leg of the printer, on the bottom
http://imgur.com/X1HdUe1
2: what are these? are the switches still in the right posistion?

Hi warper10,
I understand that you are looking for parts for your Deskjet 550C. Unfortunately, there are no parts for this printer except ink cartridges, unless you can find someone with this printer.
I can supply this link for the HP DeskJet 550C User's Guide.
Sorry to be the one to give you the bad news.

Is it bad to update software to your mac

Is it bad to update software to your mac and is it using up memory every time you update?

HI Alex...
No. Quite the contrary. It's very important to keep your system software up to date.
I don't think you mean memory but hard disk space. You can check to see how much free space there is on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.

You must first buy Snow Leopard from Apple: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
