Mac os update help

I have a powerbook g4, running 10.4.11, and i have a download of 10.5.6 on my mac. When i try to run it i get a popup saying it cant run it without 10.5
how do i get it to update?

Any downloaded Mac OSX version is pirated and suspect. At best they don't work; at worst, they don't work and trash your computer. I hope you did not pay money for the download.
Note that the OS 10.5 installer checks the speed of the processor. It has to see a processor speed of 867 mHz or higher to run--otherwise it stops. Some G4 Powerbooks have slower processors than OS 10.5 will support.

Your expectations are not based in reality.
Your G4 will not run iCloud. There will be no upgrade from Mobile Me to iCloud for you with that machine unless you do it manually, and only mail will work without further expenditure.

thanks in advance!

If you are unable to enter the passcode into your device, you will have to restore the device to circumvent that passcode.
Is the music purchased from iTunes? If it is you can contact iTunes support and ask them to allow you to re-download the music that you purchased from iTunes.
Also, do you sync the device regularly? When syncing an iPod Touch/iPhone a backup file is made. That backup file doesn't contain your music but it does contain your address book, application data, pictures, notes, etc. After restoring your device, you can try restoring from the last backup that was made of your device so you will not have to start over completely from scratch.
Hope this helps!

You must be using an update CD. You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

My iPhoto won't open. It says "Your photo library is either in use by another application or no longer readable." Please tell me I haven't lost all my pics?! I do not have them backed up. I have tried restarting my mac. Please Help!

What haven't you backed them up? You should always have a back up of any important material on your Mac. Make one now:
Most Simple Back Up
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex:
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
What version of iPhoto do you have?

Mac dunce needs help...

My macbook software is currently Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a). For some reason, the updates haven't come to me in a few months and I didn't think anything about it. I've tried to plug my iPhone into my Mac to update, but it says that I need the newest version of iTunes (I wasn't getting my iPhone update message either and didn't think about it...like I said, I'm a dunce). To download the latest version of iTunes, it says I need OS 10.6 or better, so I downloaded the new pack (10.6.8). But when I click on the pack, it says I need 10.6 to open the pack, but I cant find where to download 10.6. ARGHHHH!!!
When I click on the 'Software Update' it says there are no new versions for me to download. I know there are newer versions, but how do I download them? Can anyone help?
Cheers!!!

The 10.6.8 you downloaded is an update for 10.6.x
Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x is Not a Download...
To UPGRADE to Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x
First... Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
In the US...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store but system do not restart and monitor shows no signal?

Hi All
I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store. Update wants restart and I do that. First it shows installing updates on monitor and then after waiting for more than 30 minutes, it did not restart. On monitor it shows no signal now. I have checked all the connections. Mac mini LED light is showing blue color and i think its signalled the ON mode. Also mouse lights are on. Please provide help, as I need to solve it asap.
Thanks

Boot to recovery and first try repairing the startup disk via dis utility.
Next reinstall the OS via Recovery

SLOW Mac Book Pro help appreciated.

Hello friends. I was searching the forums for help to understand why my Mac Book Pro is suddenly so slow... I found and ran etreCheck... so I'll copy and paste it here... the one item in read was that time machine is not configured.... anyway, here you go:
Problem description:
A few weeks ago, my Macbook pro started running slow… the spinning icon just keeps spinning… it takes so much longer to restart my computer now… 10+ minutes… more than 1/2 of my hard drive is free…
This problem is more evident when I go to close a webpage or program or when I sync Itunes.
Thanks, G
