I want to update my computer to the newest software version

I want to update my computer to the newest software version I have 10.6.8 but I am not sure if all of my files will delete. What will happen if I update?

With any update/upgrade you should always do a back up first.
If you have files that have been done on a Clssic Mac platform, they need Rosetta to run, this only runs on SL.
So consider that, also some older versions of iWork...have some issues as well.
But your machine should be able to run Mavs.
Here are the system Specs:

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Plug your ipod touch into your computer with itunes. It will automatically tell you if there is an update. If not, hit the check for updates button.

Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore.

Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?

No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.

Hi there pamela123456,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

I was recently updating my phone to the newest software after ios7. It froze for quite a while so I tried holding down the home button and the power button and it shut off. Now it says I have to restore my whole phone but an Error keeps occurring?

HT4623 What would happen if i don't update my ios to the latest software version? Will it cause my iphone to malfunction?

I have been experiencing signal related concerns like connecting to 3g network eversince a new software update becomes available in the settings notification. I didn't update to the latest software version because i find it time consuming and tedious. What will happen now if i refused to update my iphone software, will it cause my device to not work properly? Kindly enlighten me, thank you!

No, you can ignore it for as long as you like, but it sounds as though your phone is already not working properly. Though the following updates do not specifically address your concern it is possible that it could help.

I updated my IPhone 3GS to the newest software version, now I can't get past the activation stage. AT

I updated my iPhone 3GS to the new version 6.1.3 and installed the new software. After doing this, I can't get past the activation stage in the process. I had AT&T and the phone doctors look at it and they couldn't figure it out. Apple wants $175 for me to send it in but I shouldn't have to pay for an update malfunction. I am at the mercy of the good folks in Apple land to help me.

Is your carrier still AT&T? What error message do you get when you try to activate it?
Have you tried a new SIM? Was the phone jailbroken? Was the computer you used to update it ever used to jailbreak a phone? In general, this problem is caused by one of the following:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

I updated my computer to the new software (Lion 10.7.2) and I can't get my iWeb to show up?

I recently updated my 27" desktop to the new & improved Lion 10.7.2 from Snow Leopard ..
All of my personal files, folders, etc were transferred by the Genius Bar at my local retail store, however, I went and opened iWeb to update my farm's website and unfortunately my old iWeb doesn't come up!
Help!?!?!

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

HT1338 how to update my computer this the latest software

I currently have mac os x 10.6.8 but i don't have the icloud update because i reboot my computer to factory setting. How can i download the software again?

You could try restarting the phone. If that doesn't help delete the app that shows a software update and install it again.

I have an older Mackbook, where it's Mac OS X version 10.5.8, and my teacher at my college wants me to update to the newest software version, how would I go about updating my Mackbook completely? He said I'm missing a few generations of software.

If someone could help me, that would be fantastic! You'd totally make my day! :')

You can update to 10.6 by purchasing a Snow Leopard Retail Disc for ($29 USD) providing you mac meets the minimum requirements: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575. After upgrading to Snow Leopard and running software update to 10.6.8, you can upgrade to the latest version of OS X, 10.7, by purchasing it from the app store ($29 USD), providing your mac meets the minimum requirements to run Lion: http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html.

I just updated my iPad to the newest software, but now all my apps are gone.

I saw the apps transfer to my computer in iTunes; how can I get them back to my iPad?

Unfortunately - no there isn't. Safari uses tabs in iOS 5. If you are so inclined, the iCab Mobile browser still offers the thumbnail view. I use iCab mobile all the time. IMO it is far superior to Safari.
Get the hang of iOS 5 and using Safari with tabs and it may not bother you at all. Some users just hate the fact that thumbnails went away in iOS 5 and you can keep iCab Mobile in mind if you really want thumbnails back.

I updated my iPod to the newest software and now my it keeps restarting. I can't view anything. The logo is the only thing I can see. I can't even turn it off.

I hooked my iPod touch (4th generation) up today and it said that there was new software to be downloaded so I downloaded it. Everything seemed fine but when it was complete it restarted and restarted and is continuing to keep restarting. Has been for a good hour. I can't turn it off, restore or anything. What can I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot Update my Nano with the Latest Software 1.1.3

Everytime I plug my Nano into my computer via USB chord, the iTunes program asks if I want to update my Nano with the latest software to Download and Install. I decide to download and install, then once the software has been downloaded an error message appears, "There was a problem downloading the iPod Software for the iPod. An Uunkown error occurred (-48). Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I always run an iPod/Network Diagnostics and it always show green (no errors) on the system. What can I do to update this latest software update?

I am having the same problem with a mac (10.4.9), itunes (7.3.2 (6)), DSL connection. I have reloaded the nano with the original 1.1.1 software, toggled the lock on top of nano, changed Mac timezone to PDT, rebooted nano, unplugged all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse. The nano is now empty from restoring to original factory settings.
The 1.1.3 software download unloads the whole 20 MB then gives the (-48) error message at the very end where I expect the 1.1.3 load to begin. I have tried several links to the update - keep getting the same error about 9x times now.
Thank you very much, Bob

How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. The only way is for you to have a separate user account to log into on that computer.
