I want to download a trial of in design, but it states i do not have the right system requirements? I am running windows xp, is this to old?

I have been trying to download in design and it keeps thinking, thinking, thinking and then does nothing..
So then i tried to go online and download a trial version from there and then it states i don't have the right system requirements, i am running windows xp, is this program to old? i dont understand as the system requirements online state that you can use windows xp, not sure whats going on.. Help please

The latest versions of InDesign will not run on XP. Here is a link to a page that lists the system requirements for most versions of InDesign. As you will see CS6 will run on XP and is still being sold if you would like to try that out.
Purchase CS6 products:

You can download the 30 day trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it after you make the purchase (if you do).
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Mac App Store needs real System Requirements for Games

After reading about the 2011 Apple Design Awards I decided to download Anomaly: Warzone Earth from the Mac App Store. The system requirements listed are "Mac OS X 10.6 or later".
My 2006 MacBook Pro runs 10.6.7 fine, so I thought I would be able to play, but my 2 GHz Intel Core Duo, 2 GB ram, and ATI X1600 graphics card are apparently nowhere near fast enough to actually play the game. Sure, the app launches, but the menu interface is jerky and the actual gameplay is completely unplayable. Instead of even laggy lo-res graphics, the screen is just a blank grey field with no visuals.
If the App Store told me more specifically that a faster graphics card, more video memory, or a faster processor were required to play, I would have not bought the game (or at least waited until I upgraded my computer).
I was tempted to try the game on my Windows 7 partition via Bootcamp (since Windows seems to have better graphics drivers and can often run the same games faster) but I don't feel like shelling out more money for another version that likely won't run.
TL;DR
I wish the Mac App Store listed real system requirements, instead of just assuming that nobody would keep using the same computer for five years.

You can provide feedback to Apple.

Leopard G4 system requirements

I have a dual processor 500MHz G4 Mac. the requirements for Leopard state >800Mhz for a G4 machine. Does a dual processor at 500MHz qualify? If so will I see a performance hit vs Tiger?

Bobbbo, I have a G4 GE with Leo and it installed and runs just fine. However, I have a processor upgrade, a video card upgrade and the ram is maxxed out. There are issue with some applications ( Time Machine, Front Row, iDVD, etc) if installed without the CPU upgrades.
Post the question in the G4 Section for more info.

Sony e reader prs 600 not showing in bookmark pane on my new Mac with Snow Leopard

I have a brand new sony e reader prs 600 it is supported but I am unable to see it on the bookmark pane in my new Mac with Snow Leopard is it something to do with Snow leopard? Or why can I not see my sony e reader? thank you

According to the Adobe website ADE 1.7.1 is compatible with Mac if you
look at system requirements and with the Sony reader if you look at
supported devices. Though it doesn't mention Macs latest O/S.
and if I download an Adobe digital editions book, can I then move it
to Sony's ebook software, or is the format unsupported on the Sony
Ereader?

Can't upgrade my PowerBook G4, now at 10.4.11 to 10.5. It meets all system requirements!

I need to upgrade my PowerBook G4 to 10.5 so that I can use the current version of iTunes. When I talked to the Apple tech guy he said my PowerBook specs indicate that it can run OS 10.5. Specs are: PowerBook G4 15" 1.5Ghz 1 GB memory plenty of disc space, Firewire and attached screen. All listed on the install disc for 10.5. When I start up the install, I select English and two seconds later a window pops up saying it can't install on this computer. Doesn't state why or what is missing! ARGGHH!! I double checked everything, ran disk utility, opened the battery compartment to verify (1.5GHz/1GB/80G/SuperDrive/BT/APX/Backlit KB). So all hardware requirements are met.
The disc says Mac OS version 10.5, AHT version 3A137, Disc version 1.0, 2Z691-6150-A.
Can anyone help?

Leopard, OS 10.5.x is the last OS X version that you can install on a powerPC procesor Mac.

System requirements 10.5

Thinking of upgrading my Powerbook G4 1.25 Ghz running Tiger 10.4.11. What are the minimum hardware requirements for Leopard 10.1 - 10.5. If I buy an early version, like 10.5.1 will the upgrades for Leopard become available after installing? The prices I have seen for this OS are all the way from $30 to $200. Why is there such a range? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The update to 10.5.8 (above) is free.
The prices I have seen for this OS are all the way from $30 to $200. Why is there such a range?
Apple's price is $129. Due to the limited supply, some seller charge more. The $30 installer may be a gray disk which will only work on specific models. A retail version is black with a gray X. You need a retail version that can be used on any Mac.

There is no free or paid download of any OS X system version below Lion OS 10.7. Apple does provide free downloads of updates to the base OS X.

System Requirements for program

There is a program I want to install onto my Mac, but one of the system requirements is running it on OS X 10.1.5-10.3. I have OS X 10.5.7, so will it be able to run on my version?

The chances are it will - Apple has very good backwards compatibility.
It's unusual for any developer to be so specific about OS versions. I'm guessing that 10.5.3 was the current version at the time they released their application and they didn't think about later versions. Most vendors say "10.5.0 or later".
Or maybe they did think about that and just said 10.5 through 10.5.3 just to cover their own butts.
Either way there's no harm in trying. Or ask the developers themselves. There's no way anyone here can advise you any different (e.g. say that it definitely will work or it definitely won't), especially since we have no idea of the application in question.

If you look at the User Tips tab, you will find a write up on just this subject:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4053
The subject of buying/selling a Mac is quite complicated. Here is a guide to the steps involved. It is from the Seller's point of view, but easily read the other way too:
SELLING A MAC A
Internet Recovery, and Transferability of OS & iLife Apps
Selling an Old Mac:
• When selling an old Mac, the only OS that is legally transferable is the one that came preinstalled when the Mac was new. Selling a Mac with an upgraded OS isn't doing the new owner any favors. Attempting to do so will only result in headaches since the upgraded OS can't be registered by the new owner. If a clean install becomes necessary, they won't be able to do so and will be forced to install the original OS via Internet Recovery. Best to simply erase the drive and revert back to the original OS prior to selling any Mac.
• Additionally, upgrading the OS on a Mac you intend to sell means that you are leaving personally identifiable information on the Mac since the only way to upgrade the OS involves using your own AppleID to download the upgrade from the App Store. So there will be traces of your info and user account left behind. Again, best to erase the drive and revert to the original OS via Internet Recovery.
Internet Recovery:
• In the event that the OS has been upgraded to a newer version (i.e. Lion to Mountain Lion), Internet Recovery will offer the version of the OS that originally came with the Mac. So while booting to the Recovery Disk will show Mountain Lion as available for reinstall since that is the current version running, Internet Recovery, on the other hand, will only show Lion available since that was the OS shipped with that particular Mac.
• Though the Mac came with a particular version of Mac OS X, it appears that, when Internet Recovery is invoked, the most recent update of that version may be applied. (i.e. if the Mac originally came with 10.7.3, Internet Recovery may install a more recent update like 10.7.5)
iLife Apps:
• When the App Store is launched for the first time it will report that the iLife apps are available for the user to Accept under the Purchases section. The user will be required to enter their AppleID during the Acceptance process. From that point on the iLife apps will be tied to the AppleID used to Accept them. The user will be allowed to download the apps to other Macs they own if they wish using the same AppleID used to Accept them.
• Once Accepted on the new Mac, the iLife apps can not be transferred to any future owner when the Mac is sold. Attempting to use an AppleID after the apps have already been accepted using a different AppleID will result in the App Store reporting "These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID".
• It appears, however, that the iLife Apps do not automatically go to the first owner of the Mac. It's quite possible that the original owner, either by choice or neglect, never Accepted the iLife apps in the App Store. As a result, a future owner of the Mac may be able to successfully Accept the apps and retain them for themselves using their own AppleID. Bottom Line: Whoever Accepts the iLife apps first gets to keep them.
SELLING A MAC B
Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
side.
4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
sure to opt for that.
Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
4. Install OS X.
5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
6. Shutdown the computer.
B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
it is three times faster than wireless.
1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
Utilities window appears.
2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

I'm trying to download the trial version of Adobe Illustrator. An error message says that the OS does not meet the minimum system requirements for the installer. 10.6.0 is the minimum required for installation. How do I get my mac to be a 10.6.0 ?

Right now I have a 10.5.8 is there a way to upgrade or something?

Buy the Snow Leopard retail installer (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA).
That will take you to 10.6.3.
If required you can then use the combo updater to get to the latest version, 10.6.8 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you haven't done so already you need to migrate your mail account to iCloud first and do so IMMEDIATELY at the website Move
Then
Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
