Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

This is a user to user forum, so no one here can provide an answer. You should contact iTunes Support directly.
Here's how you can do that: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

After updating my screen blinks. What's up with that ? And how do I fix?

After updating my new operating system my screen blinks constantly. What's up with that? And how do I fix? Thx

Which OS? Provide details so people can help.

When are I-Tunes updates legitimate and how can I tell?

When are I-Tunes updates legit and how can I tell?

I have no idea what you're ranting and rambling about. Your "simple question", if you're referring to the one in this thread, makes little sense other than how I addressed it. If my answer didn't cover your question, post back and clarify what it is you're asking. Don't just come back and post a rant; it's insulting (and the "human" crack doubly so) to all those here, who are just fellow users trying to help out other users and who don't owe you one second of their time.
If you want tech support directly from Apple, you call them; it's that simple. Contact information is linked from the bottom of every Apple web page, including this one.
Geez; the old saying that "no good deed goes unpunished" continues to get proven true every day.

MacOS 10.4.11- Unable to update to current recommended Firefox because OS10.5.x is required. Cannot go to 10.5.x, what Firefox should I be running and what security update? And how do I get these updates?

MacOS 10.4.11- Unable to update to current recommended Firefox because OS10.5.x is required. Cannot go to 10.5.x because of various software used that is not 10.5 compatible, what Firefox should I be running and what security update? And how do I get these updates?

OSX 10.4 isn't the only limiting factor that you have, Firefox 4+ versions need an Intel processor.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 .

Firefox 3.6.25 has basically the same security updates that the latest Firefox 9 version has - far better then what you now have.

My iphone is locked by a password that I do not remember. I have never sync my phone with my computer. What can I do to reset my phone?

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212. If you have not backed up your iPhone to either a computer or iCloud you will reset the phone to a New state.

HT4972 I have the original iPad with the original iOS, as I've never updated before. How do I do this?

I have the original iPad with v3.2.1 and have never upgraded. How can I upgrade to the latest iOSfor the original iPad?

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the latest compatible version.
The third generation iPod touch and original iPad can’t be updated past 5.1.1.

The update server never updates, runs always,how to fix ?

The "UPDATES" to server,never connects and never stops running.

Make sure that you allow the updater.exe program in the firewall.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version of the Firefox installer.
If there are still problems with applying the update then uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

HT1349 I tried to install an itunes update yesterday on my Dell Laptop. I kept getting an error message. Now it says I need to reinstall itunes on my computer. Will I lose all of my music and how do I go about doing this?

I tried to install an itunes update yesterday on my Dell Laptop. I kept getting an error message. Now I cannot access itunes and it says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose all of my music?

Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins.

My phone says SIM not valid after ios 5 update, Why and how do I fix it?

Why does my iPhone 4 say SIM not valid after I updated to ios 5? Also, is there anything I can do to fix it?

Sounds like your phone was software unlocked, or hacked/jailbroken, to work with any carrier. Updating the phone restored the original carrier lock. All you can do now is contact the carrier it is locked to and see if they have an unlocking policy.
Good luck.

STILL NOT SOLVED. So...What Is Going On With Java And How Do I Update It?

So...I checked my plugins this morning, and it said both my Java platform and my Java Deployment Toolkit needed updating. However, I click Update, and the link does not lead me to a download page. Plus, when I try to verify my Java version on the Java page, it says that I have the recommended Java installed (and so do other sites that run on Java). How do I update these things so that everything is up to date?
Screenshots for further info:

<s>The x86 package is for 32-bit Windows - WinXP, Vista, and Win7.</s> 
<s>The x64 is for 64-bit versions of Windows - XP, Vista, and Win7.</s>
'''EDIT:''' You need the x86 package (32-bit version of Java) on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows to use the Java plugin for Firefox, which is a 32-bit browser. The X64 64-bit Java is only needed for 64-bit browsers, if you use one. Ref: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Java#Java_downloads aw
The JDK version is for Developers, you want the '''JRE''' version. The Development Toolkit plugin comes with both versions, but that plugin is really only needed by people developing for Java.
As far as '''if''' you should update right now, my answer is '''NO'''. From what I am reading the U10 version is messed up and is not installing the Firefox required U10 plugin. Not sure if Oracle didn't update it for Firefox, or if some users are missing the registry key needed for Firefox to locate the new plugin.

I am unable to update my software, how do I go about fixing that?

I tried updating my software but it will not let me.

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A statement such as "it doesn't work" conveys no information. If it did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I was expecting B; but I got C instead." Include the complete text of any error messages you saw and where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever. Also include the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any relevant information, but it didn't help, include details.
Post in the most relevant discussion area. Usually that means the area for the type of Mac you're using, if the problem is hardware-related, or for the OS X version you’re running, if it’s more software-related. Some other Apple technologies, such as Safari, iTunes, and iPhoto, have their own discussion areas.

What Steps must I take and How do I go about updating My Mac OS X 10.5.8 as so I may get it to Mountain Lion. PLease HELP!!

I'm trying to update my Mac OS X version 10.5.8 to the latest version Operating System. But to do so it instructs me that I must first update to Snow Leopard 10.6 The problem is that I canot find the software as to update. Please any help would be appriciated. Please HELP!!

Make sure to ask for the 10.6.7 version as they sent me 10.6.3 which has no App Store that is needed to install Lion, or Mountain Lion. They said it is in the update but I just updated and still no App Store visible. Argh! You have to get the Snow Leopard Disk via mail but will be able to download Lion and/or Mountain lion directly from the App Store, and why you need to make sure they send the correct version if you do order the SL disk. Just an FYI!:)

Does iTunes freeze up when your iPhone is not connected?

What OS?
Which port are you connecting to?
What other USB devices are on this computer?
Have you made any recent changes on your computer system.
