I would like to upgrade to the next step, but because I have many problems with the version 10.4.11, I'm worried that upgrading would create more problems.

Due to a misunderstanding with [email protected] in September of 2010, many of my applications and important files were put into the trash during a cleaning.  The trash hadn't been deleted, so a CleanApp rep told me to drag my important files to a folder on my desktop.  They were unable to help me with anymore advice with the exception that if I followed the pathway of the application, I could manually restore it to its proper location. 
This was asking a lot of me because I didn't have the experience or knowledge of undertaking such a massive restoration.  However, I did the best I could.  What had been put in the trash was not just a few files -- there were hundreds of files or apps that I discovered in the trash.  As I said, this was a misunderstanding.  I was left feeling devastated at what had happened. 
Since then, my iMac Intel Core Duo has been running on its last legs.  I'm surprised I can even get to my email.  As far as using the software that I bought with my iMac, I can't.  I just do the basics.
What I have been wanting to do is to upgrade to the next level.  However, I worry that if I upgrade a crippled OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, I would be creating more problems than what I already have.  Do you agree that an upgrade would make matters worse? 

It won't necessarily make it worse, but may not make it better.  I am not familiar with the utility you usedm though anything that cleans or maintains your Mac should be avoided unless you know what you are doing and what it does.  Probably re-installing software from the official sources (download or CDs) is the best way to ensure missing parts are all replaced.
If this is a core duo and not a core 2 duo then the highest you can go is Snow Leopard 10.6 Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

    That is correct, you can't use an account's balance to buy gifts or gift certificates, you can currently only buy them with a credit card.

    I have the same problem but the solution Wendyz99 did has not been successful for me. Part of the itunes store loads on the right side where the tabs for Quick Links and Top Charts are but the center section of the page is white. Also if I click on a song that is in the top chart area it will take me to the page but I'm not able to purchase the song or preview the song.
    I feel I have tried all the solutions I can find on line and even had conversations with apple tech with no help.
    I have down loaded the Autoruns program and in the winstock providers I have Bonjour and Microsoft Windows Live ID Namespace Provider. I have removed Windows Live and this still does not resolve the problem. I am at a complete loss. I am running windows 7, 32bit. Someone please help!

    No, you don't. If you got it from the Mac App Store, log into it with the same Apple ID and redownload it for free. If you got it from CDs or DVDs, reinstall it from those; having the DVD version of a program does not get you a free download of it from the Mac App Store.

    I had this same problem and started a thread, but for the most part nobody responded and those who did somehow didn't understand what the problem was.

    I'm sure the problem is sweat getting into the apple supplied headphone "remote." Basically even the smallest drop can slide down the wire and get into the unit.
    Unfortunately I haven't found a solution other than to get a Belkin remote adapter and some sport headphones. This doesn't give you voice over, but you can still control the volume, skip, etc.
    I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and it hasn't had a freak out since.

  • Firefox 5.0.1 would cause my Free Download Manager to be disabled because it is not compatibl with the new version. What ones are compatible and free?

    I have received a pop-up advisory from Firefox several times, saying that my Free Download Manager is not compatible with the recommended 5.0.1 upgrade and wold have to be disabled until the compatibility problem was corrected.
    (I think that I did download it, and that was when I got the first warning. I visited my download m manager shortly afterward, and all my download history had disappeared. I think that I then reversed the upgrade.)
    Since then, my emails will load only in Basic HTML, which I have several problems with. I don't know if that is a Google or a Firefox problem.
    So, my initial problem is that I need a reliable and easy to use free downloader before I can upgrade and get my Standard HTML back.
    What free Download Managers are compatible with Firefox 5.0.1?
    While we're at it, is 5.0.1 Beta? And what is Beta?

    Solution: (Free Download Manager)
    Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
    Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
    I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
    And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

  • Re using AE as an extender: do I need to choose the 2.4 ghz band to have it work with iPhone?  If so, how do I do that?

    I have AT&T Uverse service, so I use my Airport Extreme as an extender.  However, it doesn't seem to have an effect on my iPhone: I can stand right next to the AE and not get a good signal.  I read somewhere that the iPhone only uses the 2.4 ghz band.  If my AE is set to use the 5 ghz band, how would I instruct it to use the 2.4 ghz band?

    I have AT&T Uverse service, so I use my Airport Extreme as an extender. 
    Unfortunately, the AirPort Extreme is not compatible with the Uverse router if you are tying to "extend" using wireless only.
    However, it doesn't seem to have an effect on my iPhone: I can stand right next to the AE and not get a good signal.
    The Extreme can only "join" a Uverse wireless network...normally for use with an AirPort Express with AirTunes.  The Extreme does not provide any additional wireless coverage when it "joins" a network. That is why you notice no improvement in the wireless signal.
    Apple's "extend" setting is a proprietary feature that will only work with other Apple routers. In other words, to have an Apple device "extend a wireless network", you need to have another Apple device providing the wireless network.
    If you want the Extreme to provide more wireless coverage, you will need to connect it to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Uverse rotuer with a wired Ethernet connection from the WAN port on the Extreme.

  • I have an ipad1 and would like to update to to 5.1 but no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update to newer versions?

    I no longer have the PC that I set it up with. How do I update?

    You have no choice but to use iTunes on a computer if you want to update. You can update on any computer running iTunes, but you will lose everything on the iPad unless you can back the iPad up on that computer, restore from the backup when you are done updating and then download all of your content again.

  • I am waiting for my restore to allow me to go to the next step, but I don't have a choice other than stop, what can I do?

    I am not sure what to do next?

    Well, thank you for that advice, ignoring Don's advice....in this whole process my power went out and I now have more questions than answers....
    I had to start from the beginning, I used the install dvd and used utilities to erase the hard drive and reinstall the Snow Leopard OS X.  As I followed the directions and it appeared to complete the install, I had the screen to sign-in as I would when the computer was running normally, I was able to sign-in BUT that is where I am now, not able to do anything but use the install dvd to run whatever I choose, (utilities, restore from timemachine, etc).
    I am not sure what do, I have the install disk ready do to whatever, but I need some advice that can hopefully get me out of this mess?!?!?!?!

    Just to confirm, you're in the App Store application on your computer, not in iTunes, correct? And you're logged into the Mac App Store using the same account via which you purchased FCP?

  • HT1694 Where is the setting in IOS7 to set the number of emails. In IOS6 I had it set to 100, but now I have over 500 with the update

    After upgrading to IOS7 my email is no longer limited to 100 as I had previously set it. I now have over 500 and can't find the limit setting anymore.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

    I am having the same problem, only I have over 2,000 emails now showing up. I used to only get 200. I never did set that figure up in my phone, it change with software updated. 2 upgrades ago, the phone only carried 100.
    Maybe Apple is now letting all our email through.

  • Could not load the mmxcore routines module because it does not work with this version of photoshop?

    I'm getting the above message when starting Photoshop CC 2014. Click OK & it loads fine but just a little annoying. Seems to have happened since the Aug 5 update. Photoshop shows as version 14.0.0 release although CC App shows it as up to date. Should it not be version 14.1 ?

    According to Adobe - see here: Adobe Photoshop CC new features | Buy Photoshop CC   'Photoshop CC 14.2' was released on Jan 15th 2014 but the latest version released on 5 August 2014 is 'Photoshop CC (2014.1)'
    As far as I'm aware, after 14.2 , releases were name '2014 release' so the 2014.1 release is indeed the latest version - there have been two updates since 14.2.1
    However, this still doesn't explain why mine has shows as 14.0.0 and 'up to date'  Anyone know how I can get it to update to the latest version??
