Mac 10.6.8 unable to get mavericks?

I'm running 10.6.8 on a 2008 or 2009 white macbook, is it possible to download mavericks? When I try, it says mavericks cannot be installed on my computer.

If it says that, then you probably don't meet the specs.
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
You can post your specs to double check, but I'm it's under the requirement.
Go to  Menu > About this Mac > and tell us Version, Processor & Memory specs on your Mac. Also available hard disk space, by choosing your Macintosh HD and "Get Info" (cmd-i)

  • Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English

    Since I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6 on my Mac, I am now unable to get e-mail address to automatically complete when I enter the first few letters of the address. in English
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I downloaded Firefox 3.6.6

    In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
    For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
    When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
    BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
    ... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
    If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

  • How do you resolve the issue with an error message on the Mac mini server stating Unable to get users

    How do you resolve an issue when creating groups on a Mac Mini Server when this error message appears.
    "Unable to get Users & Groups State, The Open Directory master was created, but a problem was encountered trying to refresh the state of the server. Check log files for more info."

    Most likely, the Server was not configured correctly - DNS is a common issue, If DNS is not configured properly, OD will not be happy. You can run
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    in Terminal to see of DNS is up and running.
    Here's a great tutorial (not mine) for setting up OS X Servers. The page says it's for a typical school environment, but it can be applied in many other environments.

  • I just purchased a mac air and am unable to get my entire music library and pictures moved from my iPhone.  I subscribed to match and it wants to delete everything on my iPhone and replace with nothing from the new computer  How do I get my music and pict

    I just purchased a mac air and cannot figure out how to get my pictures from my toshiba windows to the air into iphoto and I also cannot get my library of music and apps to get to the mac air as well.  Each time I try to synch it tells me it will repace my ipad and iphone with the blank library from the new air.  How do I get my music, apps and photos to the air.  I just subscribed to imatch and it charged me and only has 600 of my 2,000 songs!

    You must move your photos and music from your Toshiba to your MBA directly, not using the iPhone. The Migration Assistant app on your Mac will help.

  • I have accidentally downloaded the Mackeeper to my I mac and am now unable to get rid ofit. I have tried dragging it to the waste bin but it wont play ball any ideas?

    Help i am unable to remove it from my computer

    MacKeeper is highly invasive malware* that can de-stablize your operating system. It is also unethically marketed and a rip-off. Positive reviews of it are known to have been paid for by the developers, Zeobit.
    Further opinion on it and how to uninstall MacKeeper malware:
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    Do NOT download or use the ‘MacKeeper uninstaller’ from the Zeobit site, as this will cause even more damage to your operating system.
    This is also worth reading:

    Equally phoney is iAntivirus:

  • I updated my Mac, now I am unable to connect to Internet.

    I updated my Mac now I am unable to get on the Internet. I keep getting error message that safari quit unexpectedly. I've checked my connection and it says connection is normal. Please help!

    Try starting your computer in safe mode (holding down the shift key while restarting) then try to launch Safari, it you are able to start Safari click on the Safari menu item and select reset Safari, then restart your MacBook Pro normally and try Safari.

    You stated; " I have been successful with My Power Mac "
    A Power Mac is incapable of being upgraded to Mavericks. It is a PPC Mac which can only run versions of OS X up to 10.5.8 and no higher. Any version of OS X higher that 10.5.8 requires an Intel processor to run.
    Does the iMac meet the hardware requirements for Mavericks?

    I am trying to reinstall OS X mavericks on my mac air... i keep getting a message that this option is temporarily unavailable... why?! help please!

    How are you trying to install? Are you booted into in recovery mode, or trying to download from the app store?
    Perhaps Apple's servers are not working correctly, or perhaps your internet connection isn't allowing the download etc.
    Apple's servers had issues a few days ago, but I think it has improved now? When did you last try?

  • I bought my first mac in May. Can i get iWork free now that i have Mavericks?

    I bought my first mac in May. Can i get iWork free now that i have Mavericks?

    Hey ItsaJimThing,
    Great question. Apple announced that qualifying Mac purchases after October 1st, 2013 would be eligible for the Up-To-Date program. Unfortunately, from the information you provided, it does not sound like your Mac qualifies for this program.
    Apple - Up-to-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
    http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/
    On October 22, 2013, Apple announced that its Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps are available free with every qualifying new Mac. If you purchased a qualifying Mac on or after October 1, 2013, that did not include Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, you can download them free by following the steps below.
    You can still enjoy all of the great benefits of the new iWork suite by purchasing it from the Mac App Store. Or, if you had previously purchased iWork ’09, feel free to update to the new versions by visiting the updates section:

  • I just got my first mac pro and I can't get the photos out of iPhotos moved on my hp external hard drive, I try export says unable, then I try to drag it from the desktop to the external hard drive but same problem. Thank you so much

    How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

    Hello Miss Moo,
    If I upgraded to 10.5, would any of the problems such as misplaced files and apps, etc. in Tiger 10.4.11 interfere with the upgrade.
    If it's Apple Apps, like Safari, Mail, etc., then there will be new versions to replace all the missing files/components.
    The Mac OS X Installer stops with 2 minutes remaining and it can't finish copying the disc.
    How much free space is on your Hard Drive?
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Were any errors reported?
    That second Disc thing happens frequently, the best way around it is to do a Custom install, and eliminate enough Printer Drivers, Languages, Fonts, and Applications you don't need... then it may skip #2 altogether.
