Mac sys rqts osx v10.5.8 Vs os10.4.11

i would like to purchase the i pad2, however my mac mini's system  is 10.4.11. i noticed the tech specs require a 10.5.8 or higher.  do i have to purchase a whole new mac to be compatiable?
thank you,

If your Mini is an Intel model then you should upgrade to Snow Leopard.  However, if you have a PPC model then Leopard is as high as you can go.  In either case I would plan to have at least 2 GBs of RAM installed; more if feasible.

  • Apple Mail (v6.6, Mac OSX v10.8.5) mixes up mail threads - why, and what can I do?

    Dear community,
    I am having a weird synchronisation problem. My Mail (v6.6) on my MacBook Air (Mac OSX v10.8.5) mixes up random email threads after I read emails on my iPhone (5C).
    E. g. there is an email thread with Frank. Frank writes a new email that I read on my iPhone. Shortly after, I open Mail on my MacBook, so that Frank’s email is downloaded there as well, displayed as "read" and added to the existing thread with Frank. However, although still being named "Frank", showing the current date and reference, in fact it is an email of Fritz from two years ago, having nothing at all to do with the thread with Frank.
    Synchronising with the iPhone with USB has no effect, although the emails remain correctly displayed on the iPhone. On my MacBook’s Mail, the email from Fritz keeps to exist a second time at the time and place where it is supposed to be. Frank's email that has been replaced incorrectly, seems to be lost.
    I don’t have to explain how unfortunate such random email shuffling is. I shall be thankful for any support and hints. Many thanks,
    Ray Taras

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • How do I get icloud to work on mac osx v10.6?

    My computer, MAC OSX v10.6.8 is not showing an icloud icon in Preferences.  It has a mobil me icon but when clicked it says it has been moved to icloud.  My ipad, iphone and Mac are not syncing.  Help!

    You need Core2Duo or better (i3/i5/i7) processor and 2 GB memory (but some would recommend 4 GB) ...
    Apple Menu > About This Mac  ... this is mine
    As to "should I be scared?" ...
    You sound like you mtch the first/major criteria ... you *need* it to synch with your mobile devices.  Others are just "following the crowd" and have little other reason.
    You should not be scared.  Tens (hundreds?) of thousands currently run Lion without issue.  And this forum helps with the issues you have.
    You really need to have a good "clone" of your system beofre you start in case the process goes badly (rarely does it, but you want to be able to recover and start again).  And there is a new set of "how to recover" in Lion becase it uses a "hidden partition" called "Recovery Partition" instead of disks ... but that is all just stuff to learn, not to be afraid of.
    First, check the hardware, then post back if you wish.

  • Mac OSX v10.6.5: How's it working for you with Premiere Pro CS5?

    If you've installed Mac OSX v10.6.5, let us know how it's working for you.
    Please make sure that you're using the most recent update for Premiere Pro CS5 before you report back. We don't want to waste our time disentangling problems that were actually fixed in Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) from issues that still exist.

    So, here is my experience:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/751458?tstart=0
    Basically:
    Premiere Pro does not want to play the timeline (or the source window) anymore.  Sometime it plays for 2 minutes, sometime for 2 seconde and then stops, but most of time, it wont play at all.
    I can scroll over my timeline (no sound scrolling), but when I hit space bar (or clic on the play button) I can see the play button turning into a square (which mean it's now the stop button), but the timecodes doesn't run and the image doesn't play.
    So I suggest people to not being stupid as I was and to wait before to update... And hope a solution to come soon.

  • My Mac is a OSX 10.5.8 and i want to upgrade to Lion v10.7.2  Do I have to also get Snow Leopard?  Can the be purchased together?

    My Mac is a OSX 10.5.8 and i want to upgrade to Lion v10.7.2  Do I have to also get Snow Leopard?  Can the be purchased together?

    Yes you have to purchase Snow Leopard first. Once you have it installed then update it to 10.6.8 using the 10.6.8 Update Combo. Once you have updated and thorougly tested your system then purchase the Lion upgrade from the Mac App Store and follow the on-screen prompts.
    At the very minimum make sure your computer meets the System Requirements for Lion and make sure you have all your applications up-to-date. As you may (or may not) know PPC based apps will NOT run under Lion so please check your apps to see that they will run under Lion. Please look at the article link below for instructions on how to tell if they will or not.

  • The MAC OSX v10.4 just comes up with the grey apple which alternates with ?. Tried pressing "apple key"  S. Black screen appears Error Loading Drivers. No discs. Any ideas?

    My son has been deleting files. Now when he turns on the MAC OSX v10.4 it just comes up with the grey apple keywhich alternates with a NO ENTRY symbo and ? symbol. Tried pressing "apple key"  S. Black screen appears Error Loading Drivers.
    We have no discs. Any ideas?

    You should have given your son access to a Parental Controlled Account only.   Unfortunately without the disks, and from the sounds of it, no backup, you are stuck.   You might be able to recover the information with an external hard drive and an appropriate data recovery program, but getting the 10.4 original discs is increasingly difficult.  If a Mac is Intel, only the original discs can be used to install 10.4 which you would need to call AppleCare for and hope they still have a copy of, or a cloned backup.   If it is PowerPC G3, G4, or G5, you can probably find the 10.4.6 retail disc, discussed here to Archive and install 10.4.
    Before Archive and Installing, which you can do with either the original 10.4 or retail disc, be sure to attempt that data recovery.  If you choose to try to Archive and Install 10.5, and you have PowerPC, you'll lose access to Classic Applications.   You could upgrade to 10.6 if you have Intel and 1 GB of RAM, or 10.7 if you have 2 GB of RAM, but some application compatibility might be lost the further you upgrade.

  • Unable to Delete Older Printing Presets -- Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer with OSX v10.6.4

    I find that, after upgrading to the latest Officejet Pro 8000 A809 (989005) printer driver, I am not able to delete Presets that were created with earlier versions of the Apple/HP supplied printer driver.  I am using OSX v10.6.4 and v2.0.3 of the HP Printer Driver.
    When I try to print from an application the Presets that had been previously created appear on the menu, but 'Delete" is not available as an option for any of those older Presets.
    If I create a new Preset, it appears in a section of the menu listing below the Presets created by earlier versions, and the Delete option is available to remove any Presets made with v2.0.3 of the driver.
    I would like to delete the earlier Presets, since are no longer necessary given the changes that have been introduced in the latest versions of the HP printer driver.

    If you have HP software for pre-10.6 Snow Leopard, you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option.  Also, you do not need the hp software at all - both print and scan drivers are built into the OS.  I'd recommend uninstalling, but make sure to do it this way:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Restart your Mac
    Now, run a Software Update.
    Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
    You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Adobe CS for OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard

    Hello Mac People,
    I have a late-2006 MacBook Pro which I recently upgraded to OSX v10.6 Snow Leopard. It currently has 4ram and the 2.16Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
    What is the "best" version of Adobe CS for this system?  If I understand correctly, there are some problems running older versions of this software (like CS2).

    I'm not sure what you mean by, "is it safe." Correct you are that the disc was intended exclusively for use with the computer with which it came.
    And, you cannot install OS X on non-Apple hardware. Not only will that installer disc not work on a non-Apple computer, but it is illegal to try and use it. Such a use is prohibited by the software license for OS X.

  • Does the latest security update to Safari effect OSX v10.6.8?

    Does the latest security update (Fix issued 25/02/14) to Safari not effect Mac OSX v10.6.8 Snow Leopard? Software update has not flagged it up in Snow leopard, so presumably it is only Lion & Mavericks that had the flaw.

  • Osx v10.4 tiger ,my cd broken and I need to re-install?

    osx v10.4 tiger,My cd broken and ineed to re-install it?

    Hi Stephen, & a warm welcome to the forums!
    Check whether you need a 6 pin to 9 pin FW cable or whatever each end has.
    If you can get use of that other Mac, use FireWire target disk mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Put the Install DVD in the the other Mac, shut both down, connect with a Firewire cable, boot the other Mac holding the t key down, once the floating FW symbol shows up, boot the this Mac holding the Option/alt key down, eventually the Install Disk will show as a Boot Option on this one.

  • HT201177 I am having some problems with downloading, possibly settings are incorrect, esp. flashplayer upgrade will not install - i have iMac 8.1 osx v10.5.8 - processor: 3.06 ghz intel core2 duo mem: 2 gb 800 mhz ddr2 sdram

    I am having some problems with downloading, possibly settings are incorrect, esp. flashplayer upgrade will not install - i have iMac 8.1 osx v10.5.8 - processor: 3.06 ghz intel core2 duo mem: 2 gb 800 mhz ddr2 sdram - i am considering making an appt with Apple store nearby since we have a few in vicinity but thought i would give the online support a try.

    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

    I have a Canon Pixma MP500 scanner printer, is there a driver that can be loaded that is compatible with OSX v10.9.4?

    Thanks, PAHU, for providing the Australian site for the Canon driver.  I have an MP500 and it still seemed to print fine after I downloaded Yosemite.  However, as others have reported, the MP Navigator no longer performed normally in scanning. The "Save As" keys didn't align and therefore didn't work but one could still scan using an alternative method ("Scan with scanner driver" button).
    In any case, my hard drive subsequently failed on this 2010 27" iMac and when it was replaced the tech installed Yosemite 10.10.1.  Just tried printing this evening and it wouldn't.  Advised I needed undefined "software." Got various error messages.  Went to Google and read this and downloaded that to no avail.  Tried the Gutenprint driver but it too didn't work. Latest error was "stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter."  Had no clue what that meant!  System info listing for the printer (under About this Mac, System Info) lacked any reference to permissions or a printer utility version (but I didn't notice or know significance of omissions).  Finally I downloaded from the Australian site, just the print driver 10.51.2.  The printer then printed!!!  (The MP Navigator scanner remains flawed but works by clicking "Scan with scanner driver" rather than the normal way.)  I'm holding my breath that things will continue to work.
    Thanks again, PAHU, for your help, and Greg and Pam and Andy too!
