Is it still possible to update this computer?

Yes. Try Amazon.
Before you do upgrade to Snow Leopard, make sure your Mac meets the requirements.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Make sure the disc you tried using doesn't have any fingerprints or smudges on it. The optical drive can't read the disk otherwise.
If your Mac won't read the disc, might be a good idea to rule out any problems with the startup disk BEFORE trying to upgrade the system.

DVD will not play and states "supported disk not available" and makes a weird noise and then ejects the dvd

My MacbookPro is only 5 months old and in really good condition. The only problem I am encountering is that when I insert any type of dvd disc, it starts to make this weird grinding noise that goes eeee-eeee, and then does that a couple of times and then the disc ejects on its own. When i try to play it with idvd, it does the same noise thing and then iDvd state "supported disk not available". The dvd does not even read on the computer.

If only five months old it is still under warranty. Take it back.

Ipod makes a weird noise and stops working

I have a 30 bg video ipod that I got this past christmas, and lately when I'm listening to it all of a sudden I will hear a screaching noise and then I wont hear anything. The ipod shows the song is playing but I cant hear it. Has this happened to anyone else? Do you know what I can do?
Thanks for the help

I hate to make the following suggestions (please choose one) but I afraid you have no other choice, as the main problem is your iPod cant manage to be recognized by a computer ,neither a Mac nor a PC for you do the Restore to fix up the hard disk problem. Your iPod is either having a HD failure or its needle hand get stuck at a certain point
1. Send it for repairing
2. If you do not want pay to the expensive service cost then Buy a new one
3. Open the iPod and unplug and plug the battery
4. Hold the iPod with your left palm and hit the sides and back (gentle please) of your iPod for few attempts until you see the iPod showing the Language Menu
Please note if you try to do 3 or 4, your iPod will loss the warranty so only do it at last resort and at your own risk
Please read the following before you do anything

TS1368 Downloaded itunes to a new computer, and all it does is Say "accessing itunes store" and never gets any further

hi

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

HT4623 Trying to update my iPhone. Connect to my computer and all it does is beep on my computer and on my phone. What is going on?

Trying to Sync my iPhone but when I connect to computer both the computer and the iPhone just beep continuously

Hello,
Yes I had been connecting directly to the USB port.
Previously I had been using a cable that I recieved with a portable charging device. Today I have used the actual cable that I got when I bought the phone (as normally this lives in my car)
My computer now recognises my phone...Once I have transferred music I will try with the second cable to see if it is an issue with the cable, as could it be possible that the other cable would only be able to charge my phone??

I just installed itunes 10 and all it does when i open it is show me the software agreement, and if I click "accept" or "decline" it closes and does nothing else. It does the same thing when i try to play music on it. (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)

I just installed iTunes 10 and all it does when I open it up is show me the software license agreement, and if I click either "accept" or "decline" it closes up and does nothing else. It does the same thing when I try to play mp3 files, just opens up the license agreement and nothing else. It also doesn't recognise my iPod touch when I plug it in, thinks it's a digital camera. Please help! (By the way, I have Windows XP SP3.)

Then proceed to repair your QuickTime. START / CONTROL PANEL / ADD n REMOVE PROGRAMS / highlight QUICKTIME and click CHANGE then REPAIR.

When try to view a movie with a external reader it makes a weird noise at time and other times works fine I think I read somewhere theat you can only use thereader that came with your computer

When I put a movie DVD in my external reader it makes a strange noise and at times it gets hung up I have to force quit it and then I can eject the dvd
I believe I read some wherre that you can only use the reader that came with my computer

That sounds like the drive is faulty. CD and DVD will have seperate heads, and burn and read will be different lasers in each. If it's still in warranty I'd exchange it.

You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

I want to upgrade my 2008 Mac pro to the latest one, will it meet the requirement for the future Software that's coming out for the next four years?

I'd wait. What can't you do that you need? You mean you want to buy a new model, then why not wait for an actual new one, not the two year old 5,1, when you need to and have outgrown.
Yours will run Mountain Lion. yours is 4 yrs old and still supported and has life left.

HT204377 can my 2007 mac desktop use thunderbolt or USB 3.0 devices? Is there an adaptor to let my old desktop run a thunderbolt device?

Can my 2007 Mac desktop use a Thunderbolt device? Is there an adaptor available?

You're posting in the Mac Pro desktop forum. If that's what you have, the answer is no for Thunderbolt but yes for USB 3.0. Check out these PCIe cards for USB 3.0.
If you have an iMac, then it's just no as Carolyn Samit says.
