Hi,
have you tried booting your Mac from the recovery partition by holding cmd-r while booting? If that works, then start the Disk Utility from the menu and try a "Repair disk".
After the Disk Utility is finished, try the "Repair Permissions". Though this is a highly overrated "feature", it might even help in your situation. Do this repeatedly until nothing changes. This doesn't mean there won't be any messages left over.
Cheers,
Paul

I did everything I was to install it correctly but it still does not install it correctly. Can some help me. Bob
Some MacBook Pro versions cannot be upgraded past 10.6.8; others are maxed out at 10.7.5. newer models can go all the way to 10.10. So it is important to know exactly what version you have--there may be close to 40 variants produced since the MB made its debut in 2006.
You can safely give us a snapshot of your model and its current config that will allow us to deternmmine your model and its upgrade potential, plus show it you have any software that may impede any upgrades. Please download and install this free utility:

Remember that, on leaving OS10.6.8, you lose the ability to run older softare written for older PowerPC Macs (yours in Intel-based). Programs such as Office 2004 will no longer work (min of Office 2008 needed to work on newer OS versions), and AppleWorks will stop working completely -

i just got the first get and im trying to download the ios onto it and it will just stop and not load anymore how do i make it keep going?
You are only as young as you feel......
This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Music Tab on the right.
Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
Click on the Sync Music Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want. -
Like a fool I tried to download the new software for my 3GS. Now oI can't get the dam thing activated. I'm in Portugal but my phone originates from the UK. Help.
I actually interpreted this as a carrier lock issue. If that is the case the OP needs to contact the UK carrier who owns the rights to lock the iPhone. Only that carrier can unlock it.
Was the iPhone unlocked by means of jailbreak software? If that is the case, then the reply from Phil McCafrey would apply to this as well. -
I have just done the iso update now its saying connect to i tunes buot i dont have a laptop how can i get around this?
You can't get around it. It must be restore using iTunes on a computer. If you don't have access to one, make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store.

Tried to download the newest version of itunes (10.4) but it says I don't have APPDATA. HELP?!
I tried to download the newest version of itunes but then it says that it couldn't since it couldn't locate the APPDATA, I even went to the point of downloading the itunes all over again, but it still hasn't done anything to help. Anyone have any ideas to try or any solutions?
This is probably due to a corrupt setting for %APPDATA% in the registry.
Microsoft have a Fixit which is worth trying:

Trying to download the 3.1 update and am getting an error message each time
Hey all!
I've been trying since this morning to download the 3.1 update for my 1st gen. iPod touch. I've been trying to download the update 6x now and now I am frustrated! Each time, it's within the very last seconds of the update that an error message pops up and says " There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod..The network connection timed out." Ugh, I am connected and I have been connected, so what's up with it?
Thanks in advance.Thank you for the quick response Anna. If nothing else,atleast I know I'm not the only one. I just talked to my dad and he said he downloaded his update this morning, just fine. I told him about the network connectivity issue and he said it sounded like Apple had too many people downloading the update at the same time. I certainly hope that's it. Though part of that makes no sense, seeing that the update was released a couple days ago!

Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?

You can not setup a new iCloud account using a PC. You must use an Apple device (Mac or iPhone/iPad) to create the account, then sign into it using your PC.
