My iPhone asked if I would like to update my operating system. I said yes. After the update, it asked me for a passcode which I have never used before. How do I restore my iPhone when I cannot go beyond the passcode page?

After operating system upgrade, my iPhone demands a passcode be entered. I have never used a passcode. How can I restore my iPhone to how it was before?

It's asking you to create a passcode. You can turn it off later if you wish.

Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

HT4463 I would like to update my operating system ?

what are the steps?

Ahh, I need to go from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8.
To upgrade from 10.5.x to 10.6.8, you need to purchase Snow Leopard on disk:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Install that, then run Software Update and install all available updates to bring it up to 10.6.8.
By the way, you posted this in the forum for Mac OS X 10.8. I'll ask the hosts to move it to a more appropriate forum.

I HAVE A MAC NETWORK WITH A HP1200 LASER-JET AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE. THE PRINTER IS CONNECTED DIRECTLY WITH ONE OF MY MAC-MINI"S. I NOW HAVE A WINDOWS BASED PC AND WOULD LIKE TO PRINT TO IT AS WELL.. HOW CAN I DO THIS?

Make sure that you Printer Sharing enabled on the Mac Mini. System Preferences > Sharing > Printer Sharing
Do the same on the PC
On the PC, try downloading and installing Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
Run the application on the PC to see if it will discover your printer and install the printer.

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them into one. How can I do this?

I have created 2 photo books and would like to merge them together. How can i do this?

You can't just merge them. You will have to add the photos of Book B to Book A and add new pages to A to duplicate those in B.
NOthing was said about copying and pasting - you add the photos from book B to book a, add pages to bbok a and recreate teh pages in book a
Another way would be to print book B to PDF sending the PDF to iPhoto and then placing the pages as full page images in book A

HT4759 I'm getting a lot of spam in my icloud account and would like to change my icloud email address, how can I do this?

After having a mac.com email for nearly 10 years I fell for a scam email and now am getting spammed daily in my email account. I use this email account for everything and would like to either block the spam emails - although that's hard since they change their email address daily - or just get a new icloud email address. I've researched this and have not found this easy. Any suggestions on how to change my icloud email account? Keep in mind all my devices are connected through this email including iTunes. Any help is appreciated - thanks!

To get a new iCloud address you would have to create a new iCloud account and migrate your iCloud data to the new account. If you want to do this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, and when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data choose Keep on [My iDevice]. Then set up a new iCloud account with a new ID, turn you iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted choose Merge to upload your data to the new account. When you turn Mail to On you will get a new @icloud email address (@mac and @me addresses are no longer available). Once your data is in the new account, you can just delete the old account from your other devices without saving the data on the device, then sign into the new one and the migrated data in the new account will be synced back to them.
If you need to, you can change your iTunes ID to this new email address. This guide explains how to change an Apple ID name, but you can follow this and edit the primary email address instead to change it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.

I have recently installed Firefox 4.0 but would like to go back to 3.6. Can I do this without loosing all of my addons and bookmarks?

I have some favorite add-ons that are not yet compatible with version 4. I would like to go back to 3.6 without loosing all of my setup.

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6.* you can uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install Firefox 3.6.* available from http://www.mozilla.com - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

I would like to upgrade my operating system, but still have Leopard and don't know how to make the "leap" to newer software.

I have a makbook pro, running with Leopard (10.5.8). I know that I missed both Lion and Snow Leopard and want to know the best way to upgrade. Do I need to buy both in addition to Mountain Lion? Will my computer even run Mountain Lion? I need step by step instructions because everyone I talk to just says "Just upgrade it" Thanks.

Upgrading to Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
