Mac OS X 10.6.8 how to update, and download new version

My Mac OS X 10.6.8 keeps telling me I have updates, and if I want to download the updates I need to click instal and my computer will restart and install the updates. My computer will shut down, but when it restarts nothing has changed! I am new to Mac, please help

You open up the App Store Application, not the Apple web page.
You have to buy it, it's not a free upgrade.

How to update and download new applications

hi there,
How to update and download application? It ask to accept terms and condition but not showing any "accept" button.

Hello sachin1620,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accepting Terms & Conditions on your iPhone.
First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

How to erase and install new version os Mac Os X?

Can someone tell me how to erase and install new copy of Mac OS X 10.5.8 ?? IS there a way to do this without CD?? I no longer have the disks and I cant find a way to get this done.. The reason I want to do this is because a 12 year old was using this computer for a long time and there is a lot of junk stuff on the disk, so I want to start from fresh.
Thank you in advance.
Yani.

Hi Yani,
Your out of luck without an Install Disc, & on dangerous ground also.
2 ways to go...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. (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 Erase tab.
   4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
   5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
   6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
Or...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

I am selling my apple mac pro but do not know how to deregister and register it to the new owner; how do you do this?

I am selling my apple mac pro but do not know how to deregister and register it to the new owner; how do you do this?

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
Erase the data partition(s) with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by booting into Internet Recovery (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer with the machine.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

Hello Beeched,
Thank you for the question. Are you seeing the previous Apple ID in the iTunes and App Store? If you are, use these steps to sign in with your new Apple ID:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
If you trying to change the Apple ID signed into iCloud, use these steps:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2613
Once you delete the account from your device, you will have an option to sign in with your new Apple ID in Settings>iCloud.

How can I sync a new Iphone 4s with an old 10.4.11 OS mac that can't update to the new version of itunes?

I have a Mac OS 10.4.11 that can't update to the newest version of Itunes. It does not recognize my new Iphone 4s. Is there other any way I can sync my phone? Apple support recommended that I update my Itunes from 9.2 to the new version but it won't install.

You cannot use an iPhone 4S with iTunes 9; you must have iTunes 10.5 or later, and that will indeed not run on Mac OS X 10.4. You'll need to upgrade your computer's OS to at least Mac OS X 10.5.8.
If, as Allan requested, you tell us your specific model of Mac, we can tell you what options you would have as regards compatible OS X versions.
Regards.

Imovie-how do i get the new version on my new mac???

Sounds strange I know but when I transfered the contents of my old imac to my new imac via the cable it has also transfered across the old version of imovie. If I set up a new user I can open the new version of imovie but my profile doesn't recognise the new version of imovie. Does anyone know how I can get the new version of imovie onto my current profile which was imported from my old imac?

Hi John,
The Outlook Plugin for Adobe Send supports Outlook 2010 and 2013. There are no plans to make it compatible with Outlook 2007, since it's a much older version.

I have icloud and downloaded new CDs on my 2nd computer. How do I download the new music into my old computers itunes.

I have icloud and downloaded new CDs on my 2nd computer. How do I download the new music into my old computers iTunes using icloud.

For your computer first get iTunes to see it by:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
- The transfer iTunes purchases
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Or redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
newer copy
- Connect the iPod to your compute and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.

My computer crashed so i had to reformat, but the only problem is i lost my old itunes account, had to download new version. Now i have an ipod full of music but how can i place all my music I have on the ipod into my new itunes account??

Not if you first do a sync and have iTunes make a backup. However, if your only copy of the iTunes data is in the Touch, then you need to first copy the data to a new iTunes Library using third-party software such as Phone To Mac.

HT1338 Still have os x 10.5.8 How do I update to a newer version to run new itunes. And is it safe

Can I safely update to a newer version and if so which one. I currently am running os x 10.5.8 and can not load the new itunes for my sons new ipad mini. Don't want to mess up my computer by trying to download something that I can't

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

OS X 10.5.8 won't update to a newer version, how do I get Lion without having the App Store?

I have a MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a), Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB memory. Why won't it update to a newer version with App Strore and how can I get it upgraded to Lion?

Apple - OS X Lion - Sign up to be notified when Lion is available.
Apple - OS X Lion - Get Lion in July. Only from the Mac App Store. Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM. The Lion upgrade can be installed on all your authorized personal Macs.
