Is there a 10.3.9 to 10.4.0 update available?

I really want to use widgets and other apps,but i cant because i have mac os X 10.3.9... Is there an update to upgrade my os?

Hey guys ...
I have a running system on OS 10.3.9 and I have no experience with the update process on macs. Because I have no backup mac and I desperatly need my current to work I'd appreciate if someone could ellaborate on the update process towards 10.4 !!
I am also asking this question because I have problems with my compact disk drive (I need to reboot so the drive is capable of reading the cd)
So for me there is 3 crucial factors in figuring out if my ibook is capable to do the update:
1) Does the update formate my HD or do most of my programs remain usable and custumations remain usable?
2) Can I roboot during the update process (when switching cds on the cd based OSX installation pakage)?
3) Can I install the update from Mac OSX extended Disk (those virtual disks that OS does when executing a dmg file)?
thank you

  • Hi, I am trying to update an iPhone 4 from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 7.0.4, and every time I try to update it comes up with an error message saying that there was a problem because the network connection was reset. Is there any way I can get past this and update?

    The full message said:
    There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone "Judy's iPhone 4". The network connection was reset.
    Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later.
    I am trying to update the iPhone for my grandmother, Judy, as I am leaving for Paris on Wednesday night and we want to have Facetime installed on her iPhone before then, so we can stay in contact with each other. It is the simplest way for this to happen but the program simply will not allow me to update her iPhone.
    Is there any way to get past this error and update her iPhone? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Dear Jody..jone5

  • I am traveling to India, north and south, with my ipad 2, G-3. It is activated by AT and T. How do I use it in India? Do I need to purchase a sim card there and if so what kind? Would they be available in the Delhi airport or where else in central Delhi?

    Also in order not to pay a fortune for the service is it better to acquire if needed a SIM card only once there?
    Check with your carrier about roaming charges.  They are usually prohibitive.  Best to get a local SIM.

  • Why does "Check for Updates..." show that there are no updates available while I'm using Firefox 3.6.18 and latest version is 5.0.1?

    First and foremost, I'd like to clarify that I hardly have any technical knowledge. So pardon me if this comes across as a silly question to the professionals. Here are the details pertaining to this problem as per the best of my limited knowledge:
    I'm currently using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18; previously it was 3.6.13. It was updated to 3.6.13 from 3.6.9 after I clicked on Check for Updates... and it told me that it'd be done when I reboot my system. When I restarted my PC, I was surprised to find that it was downloading the version 3.6.18. I didn't know how much it'd progressed in the process, so I let it finish it. After that, I disabled the option that enables it to download and update on its own, and turned it off. Next time when I started it, it was 3.6.18, but wasn't updating on its own anymore.
    Now I wanna update it directly to the latest version 5.0.1. But when I leave it to "'''Automatically download and install the update'''" option under Tools>Options>Advanced>Update, it downloads and updates the versions as per their release order. So if I leave it to it, then when I start it next time, it'll start downloading the version next to 3.6.18 and update to it instead of updating directly to 5.0.1. It'll keep doing so until it reaches there. For reasons of my own, I don't like that. So I '''unchecked '''the "Automatically download and install the update" option and chose the "'''Ask me what I want to do'''" option (so that it doesn't keep repeating the "downloading and updating" process on its own every time I start my PC). Then I went to Firefox site and thought of downloading and updating to the latest version on my own. But then I was informed that if I do so, '''I'll get the latest version, but I'll lose all my saved bookmarks unless I follow some hectic procedure to save them and load them again after installing the latest version of Firefox'''. I don't want to let that happen either. So, can anyone suggest me a way out of this situation without losing my bookmarks?
    Almost forgot. I tried several times by going to '''Help>Check For Updates...''', but every time it returned the same result: "There are no updates available. Firefox will check periodically for updates." How come no update is available while the version I'm using is 3.6.18 and the latest version is 5.0.1? In short, '''Check for Updates...''' didn't help either. (Even when I updated it last time, shouldn't it have updated itself from version 3.6.13 to 5.0.1 directly?)
    So, can anyone suggest a way by which I won't lose my bookmarks and would be able to update to the latest version directly too? An answer that wouldn't involve removing the current version and installing the latest one, but directly update to it (it's okay if it needs downloading) would be more welcome. I know that the bookmarks can be saved in a file and all, but I'd like to know if it's possible as it happened for my current version from previous version. (It downloaded and updated itself on its own, disturbing nothing, not even logged me out of certain accounts where I stay logged in. The only problem there was that it wasn't updating directly to the latest version.)
    I hope the aforementioned details make sense and are helpful enough for others to help me. Thanks.

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available.  I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

    I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages.  My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • App Store has badge showing 8 Updates available but when I open the App Store, there are none showing under the Updates tab

    My App Store Icon has a Badge showing that there are 8 Updates available.  When I open up the App Store and go to Updates, the screen is blank.  This is the first time I've experienced this and I don't find any other discussions in the Apple Communities.  This is only happening on my iPad 4.  My iPhone 5 is working perfectly. 

    It seems Apple is having some issues at their end. There have been hundreds of posts on the forum with the same problem.

  • App Store shows update available but will not display the update or tell me that there are no updates...

    There is a badge with the number 1 on my "App Store" icon, but when I go to see what needs to be updated, the App Store does not display the app that has an update nor does it say that there are no updates available.  Basically the place that tells me these things, is completely blank.  I have the word "Updates" at the top of the screen and I can see an icon on the bottom right corner area that has the cirlce with a down arrow and the word "Updates" with a badge with the number 1 in it. 
    The iPad 2 has 6.1.2 for the iOS.  I have already closed the app out completely by closing the app in the multitasking section and then restarting it.  This does not correct the issue.  I have also restarted the iPad 2, however this did not correct the issue either.
    If anyone has seen this and knows it is a glitch in the software, and that Apple is aware of it, please let me know.  If anyone knows how to correct this, please let me know.  Thanks.

    The update server is down; try this temporary workaround

    Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

  • Is there a way to create tables that can't update rows

    Hi
    I have an application where security is very importante. I have tables that con only be inserted and queried, not updated or deleted. Is there a way I can tell Oracle to prohibit update and delete on that table.
    Regards,
    Néstor Boscán

    > Is there a way I can tell Oracle to prohibit update and delete on that table.
    Yes. Quite easy in fact. It is called FGAC - Fine Grained Access Control.
    You create a FGAC function for those tables. These simply returns 1=2 to be added to an UPDATE or DELETE statement's predicate.
    Example:
    SQL> -- am able to delete from emp
    SQL> delete from emp;
    17 rows deleted.
    SQL> rollback;
    Rollback complete.
    SQL>
    SQL> -- create policy FGAC function
    SQL> create or replace function vpdbPolicy( schema varchar2, object varchar2 ) return varchar2 is
    2 begin
    3 return( '1=2' );
    4 end;
    5 /
    Function created.
    SQL>
    SQL> -- create FGAC policy
    SQL> begin
    2 DBMS_RLS.add_policy(
    3 object_schema => USER,
    4 function_schema => USER,
    5 object_name => 'emp',
    6 policy_name => 'PROTECT_EMP',
    7 policy_function => 'vpdbPolicy',
    8 update_check => FALSE,
    9 statement_types => 'UPDATE DELETE'
    10 );
    11 end;
    12 /
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL>
    SQL> -- no longer able to delete from emp
    SQL> delete from emp;
    0 rows deleted.
    SQL> rollback;
    Rollback complete.

    I have a hard time understanding why I can't contact support about THEIR problem. I plugged my iPhone into my pc. iTunes came up. It said there was an update available for the phone. I accepted that. Clicked on the "download only" because I didn't have the time to install it at that point. It downloaded but didn't stop. It continued to the 'backing up your iPhone' segment then froze. I waited at least an hour with no change. Finally I unplugged my phone..iTunes wasn't responding.I rebooted my pc then tried the same thing again. Same outcome even though I let it "Back Up" for 7-8 hrs while I slept. Same Story...............         iTunes 10.4.0.80 is the software I'm using. When my phone is 'plugged' in what I see on it's face is "Sync in Progress".....for hours!

  • I'm unable to sync my contacts with the new iPhone 5 and my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. Will there be a fix for this in the next update?

    I previously had an iPhone 4 synced and paired with my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and had no issues. Now I have a new iPhone 5 and am able to sync the phone but the contacts will not update in the phone book listing for the vehicle. I've tried several times to re-sync and pair the phone to the vehicle and still the same issue. I'm able to make an receive calls but no contact information is being displayed. From all of the previous community issues reported it's not an AT&T issue, Hyundai issue, it's clearly pointing at the device (iPhone 5) being the issue.
    Will there be a fix for this in the next update?
    Thank you.

    Thanks for your response. However, after speaking with a level 2 Apple Advisor and Hyundai there is an issue that both companies are aware of and are working towards a resolution. Here's a blurb from Hyundai that was sent to me after I spoke with Apple Advisor:
    "We apologize for any inconvenience associated with the technical issues with devices connected via Bluetooth. Hyundai is aware of the iPhone losing its Bluetooth connection to the vehicle along with any function associated with it at the time. Hyundai has been able to reproduce the concern in our test vehicles and have sent all necessary information to Apple engineers. Hyundai received confirmation from Apple that they will work on debugging.
    If your iPhone is 3G, 4, 4S, 5 and has one of the following iOS: 6.0, 6.1.0, 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4 or higher, you may be affected." - Hyundai Engineering
