I was trying to install OS X 10.6.8 on my current version of OS X 10.6.4 on the imac 11. it gave me a message that the os m trying to install cannot be istalled on the current version of the os. i then opted to installing only the additional software

only to find that the programs installed are not working and they have deactivted the already installed software and they are also not working.
how do i revert the changes i hav done?..pls help. the computer does not boot, it does not even reach the login phase. it just shows the apple logo and the spinning gear forever.

If your computer is not booting from the system DVD that originally came w/your computer, try a utility DVD like DiskWarrior, TechTool Pro, etc. and run the programs.
If you do not have any utility DVDs, you will need to take a trip down to your local Apple Store or an AASP.

I keep getting an error message that reads: Not enough storage This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. What does this mean? How do I fix it?

Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
and backup with iTunes from now on

My kobo gave me a message that the DRM was unauthorized. How do I fix it?

My Kobo gave me a message that the DRM was unauthorized. How do I fix it?

Are you using Digital Editions to transfer books to your Kobo eReader? I so you must authorize your eReader with Adobe.
When you authorize your Kobo eReader, Adobe adds it to the list of devices associated with your Adobe account.
Adobe limits the number of eReaders and computers you can use with their software, which is why this is necessary.
To authorize your eReader:
Connect your Kobo eReader to your computer and select Manage Library.
Start Digital Editions.
If you were already using Digital Editions, restart it so that it will find your eReader and start the Device Setup Assistant.
Click Authorize Device.
Click Finished to complete the process.

I have an iphone 5 with ios 6.1.4.

You need to subscribe to iTunes Match to store your music on iCloud:

There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

i have a message that says "not enough storage space this ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough cloud storage. The message will not close so I cannot use the ipad.

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Oh my gosh. This worked perfectly!!!
After allowing the changes, I just had to open the apps again (such as Instagram), then the pop-up asking to allow access to Photos appeared!
And I thought I was going to get rid of my iPhone 4 already because of the issue.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

Ipod touch screen shows connecting to itunes when not connected to computer and will not go to start screen also will not connect to itunes get message that passcode needs to be entered but cannot get to that screen on ipod

ipod touch shows connecting to itunes on screen even when not connected to computer. cannot get to start screen to enter my passcode

Place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the passcode (and essentially erase your iPod) and then restore via iTunes on your computer.

I get a message that my ipad and iphone cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have tried to sync books to my iPad and iphone and i get the message that I cannot connect to the iTunes store and thus cannot sync a book to my books app. Why?

I get a message that my ipad 2 and iphone 5 cannot connect to the itunes store when I try to sync a book to my book app. Although, when I click "store" both are able to access the itunes store. Why is this? Also I tried to open a book that was synced and a message that I did not have enough memory to load this book popped up--when I know that I have well over 40gb of memory left in my ipad and over 16gb left in my iphone. The message that I cannot connect to the itunes store is strange that it offers no option and I have to hit OK to get out and use my ipad or iphone.

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
If that doesn't solve it then what has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months (or maybe a year or two) in the future and then re-trying

I updated iTunes on my Dell Inspiron lap top and it corrupted my iTunes. I uninstalled all of the newly installed files. I also uninstalled iTunes. Now whenever I try to install iTunes, I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
Tried it 2 times and no luck. Any advice for me?

I get a message that says, "An Apple Application support is required to run iTunes on this computer. Please uninstall iTunes, then install iTunes again."
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Can't download the additional components needed to install Mac OS X

Hi there, I'm new and a complete novice, please try to have patience I'm hoping to learn but need the right guidance and assistance if possible please :)
Firstly I have read the other articles sharing the same or similar title but most are mentioning using time machine.
I have just fitted a new 1tb SSD to my 13" MacBook Pro after my previous hd was in an unrepairable state. I also purchased a Mac OS X Lion thumb drive with intention of having the latest software on my mac. I obviously don't have any information I want to recover I just merely want to install OS X Lion and begin as if my Macbook was new. But I keep getting the above message. I have gone to disc utilities went through the whole erase process which creates the new partition. Every time I do verify disc is says disc needs repairing so successfully repair it and go back to attempting to install Lion but again it gives me the 'can't download the additional components...' Message. I tried starting up in recovery mode, but from what I have seen on tutorials I should be given the choice of 2 or 3 drives in which to start up on, I only get the option of the OS X Lion thumb drive. Please help me, I really would like to do this myself as a sense of achievement.
My warranty has obviously run out on my mac so this is the reason I changed the HD myself.
Thanks in advanced and feel free to ask questions if you require more details on specifics :)

Hi a Brody, thank you for taking the time to lend some advice. I am able to connect to the internet via wifi, although my internet is not the fastest, would it be better to connect the MacBook up to the router?
I'm not sure if I have tried reformatting my SSD, would it be possible to have some instructions for that please?
With regards to the original install disc it was lost a long time ago, so was told this thumb drive USB stick with OS X Lion mounted (official apple OS X Lion thumb stick) to it would act as an install disc, would I require the initial install disc as it is a fairly old MacBook?
Thanks for your help

I purchased Elements 13. When I tried to install it I get the error message that it is not supported by Vista. What do I do now?

If you can't install Windows 7 or higher or get a new computer with Windows 7 or higher, you won't be able to run Photoshop Elements 13.

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago which I modified on 11/4/13 and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed. Any suggestions?

Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?

Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.
