Yes you mst be running 10.5.8 or higher. From the Apple iPad technical specs.
Apple ID (required for some features)
Internet access5
Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

I did not purchase my mac, it was given to me by a family member. Unfortunately, this family member thinks he is a computer wiz and unfortunately there are several things that do not work on this computer. For some reason, his Apple ID is signed in to the Apple Store and Itunes and It will not let me change that. Secondly, facetime and Imessage are not working on the computer even though my Apple ID and passwork are correct and I have iMessage enabled on my ipad and iphone and I have the correct number associated with facetime and iMessage.
I am at a loss of what to do because, again, this computer was given to me. I don't have any service warrantly or anything for this computer--that I know of. Am I allowed to even go into the Apple Store? I have no idea what to do.
HELP.Do a clean install of Mac OS X boot into recovery by restarting the computer and holding Command R as soon as the boot chime happens (its the bahhh sound) wait for the computer to boot into recovery and after it has booted a small Window should pop up click Disk Utility, the Macintosh HD and then select the erase tab on the right and erase the drive with the erase button. After its done erasing exit disk utility and click reinstall mac os x or reinstall mavericks.

I would like to use Turbotax for mac. I am a new user and just bought my Imac desktop a few weeks ago. Can I purchase and download the software from Apple? I do not have an optical drive so I need to use the download method.
Thank you for your reply. I may not have phrased my question correctly but what I was ondering is whether Apple sells this software download or whether it is only available thru Intuit. I have tried severl other vendors (Micro Center, Costco, Bjs Wholesale) and none of them have it available for download. Must I go thru Intuit only if I use this method?

osx 10.7.4 safari 6.0 When I add a new bookmark to the "bookmarks menu" it is added somewhere in the middle instead of at the end of the list. This just started a few days ago after an update. Has anyone else noticed this?.
Just for those who are interested, this is what cleared the "bookmark menu" trbl I had.
Open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Bookmarks, then reselect it.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try a bookmark again. -
Hello, I am running a Mac book pro soft. 10.5.8 version. Since June the current year I did not get any updates for the software or any kinds of the other application, in my opinion that's weird for such a company.
The problem that I have now is with the Iphone 5 which is not supported for the current Itunes and I can not download the Itunes 10.7 version. What I supposed to do in this case because I can not syncronize at all.
Please give me a hand as soon as possible.
Many thanksMac OS X 10.5.8 is years old, 3 major versions out-of-date and unsupported at this point. You will never get any further updates for 10.5.8, and more and more applications will stop supporting 10.5.8 as time goes on. As mende1 points out, you can buy Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), which will let you use your new iPhone with your computer, but you need to make sure your computer's hardware is supported. See the system requirements for Snow Leopard:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If your computer cannot run Snow Leopard, you will need to either buy a new computer or abandon any thoughts of syncing the iPhone with that computer.
Also, note that you'll get far better integration of your iPhone and your Mac if you're using Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) or Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8), which are required to use iCloud. Of course, the requirements of those systems are even steeper than those of Snow Leopard:

so i just got a new mac, and i am trying to sync my songs that i bought on itunes, and some of the worked, but a huge selection of them have a little exclamation mark beside it and it says it can't be downloaded, why?
Hello Pork Chop 2,
Congratulations on your new Mac! It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them. I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
Download your previously purchased song from this list.

Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

I have a Late 2011 Mac Book Pro 17" and I want to install a Samsung 840 EV 2.5 1TB. What accessories if any do I need? I want to place my order once with all that is needed to install this equipment.
No you don't. All currently available commercial hard drives and SSDs have the same SATA connectors in the exact same place.
As to being plug and play that is up to interpretation. The drive will plug into the cable but then you have to partition and format the drive for the Mac OS X operating system and then install OS X on it or restore from a Time Machine backup or Clone from your original drive to the SSD. Those things aren't necessarily Plug & Play. Not hard, just time consuming. Some more than the others. -
I just received a new mac and I am trying to sync my ipod to it but everytime I try it stays stuck on the "backing up" section of the sync. I have already unauthorized my other computers like the instructions said to but that did nothing. Please tell me what I should do or how to back up my device.
You are in iTunes for Windows.

Im trying to find my iPhone via iCloud but i does not show a map with its last know location. It only shows the menu options. My iPad and Mac show up but the map of my iPhone does not. Can anyone help?
If your phone is turned off or not connected to the Internet, you will be unable to locate it. Last known location is only stored for 24 hours.

I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job). Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library. Does that mean that they take up three times the memory? Will that affect iCloud? Sorry for the end-user questions!!
HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
i tried to sort it out by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.
