MacBook no longer compatible.

I have a MacBook 4.1 with system 10.5.8 I understand that the system cannot be updated any more for this. My iPhone has been updated for the latest version, and now my iTunes is saying that it cannot connect to my phone without an iTunes update. However, iTunes cannot be updated without a system of 10.6 or later....
Is there any way around this? All I want to do is add more music to my phone....
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard. Check the link below for purchase info.

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling from the install DVD - but no go: no longer compatible, evidently.. What to do?

My Mail program has gone south on Leopard on my 27-month old Macbook. I can't send, even though the server details are correct. I tried reinstalling the Mail program from the install DVD, but no go; apparently that two-year old Mail is no longer compatible with my up-to-date Leopard. I tried deleting the account (hotmail) from Mail and setting up a different account (Yahoo). After loading all the inbox two things happened: first, I still couldn't send, and second, when I closed the Mail window the whole inbox then disappeared and doesn't come back. Although I couldn't reinstall the Mail program from the install DVD, would it still be possible to reinstall the whole system from that DVD? If I do, will I lose files or will there be another problem since that DVD is now over two years old?
Thanks for any suggestions; they will be much appreciated.
P.S. I've just noticed that now I can't change the desktop picture: I go through the motions in Preferences, but the new picture doesn't appear on the desktop. Is there a systemic problem?

You are waiting for an apology to something that happened over a year ago? Really? This is why there is a manager in the store. You have a problem with an employee you speak to the manager. Just like you did on the phone. You would have gotten your apology in July 2013.
Here is the information about your upgrade fee.
Upgrade Fee
It is because when you have a problem you (customers) go running to the store and want to take up the time of the reps to fix it. Other carriers have third parties that deal with technical support and those locations are few and far between. VZW provides this directly through their stores. Also, when you subsidize a $650 and pay $200 VZW has to pay $400. Your monthly service fee doesn't begin to scratch the surface of paying that back. Not with all the money that is put into the network and its improvements.
Then over a year later you get someone on the phone who apologized and offered to waive the fee on your phone and you didn't take it? That offer won't come down the pike again.
One thing you should know is that all these employees are people and as such they sometimes come off cross. I doubt that you speak to everyone so sweetly all the time. Cut them a little slack and put this whole thing behind you after 15 months. Either upgrade with VZW or move on.

After replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?

after replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?
any suggestions on how to fix this ?

what version of iPhoto are you using? i can't begin to answer that - it is no longer listed in my applications & has only a shadow of its icon in the dock
what version did you have before the drive replacement? same answer
what system version are you running? 10.8.5 - the one i was using when the hard drive died
what exactly do you see when iPhoto attempts to launch? -it doesn't attempt to launch - i get a message saying "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have OS X 10.8.5. The application requires OS X 10.9 or later".
what have you tried? wringing my hands ! i daren't try anything after the hard drive crash
where is your library located? there is an iPhoto library folder on my desktop with random photos & albums - not all - put there by me - i vaguely remember a problem with iPhoto when i upgraded from snow leopard
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? after the drive replacement i uploaded saved data from a week old back up and found iphoto looking somewhat sick - no updates were offered in software updates
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? i'm afraid i do not know what that means
what type of Mac? a macbook pro
how much free space on your boot drive? about 380 GB
thank you very much for your questions - i hope i find some answers

Elements 8 no longer compatible

I've been using Photoshop Elements 8 on my Macbook for the past number of years. I went to use the software today and it will not run because it is no longer compatible. Is Adobe offering a free or inexpensive upgrade?

No, there is never such a thing for a version that many years out of date. But what makes you think it's suddenly incompatible? What has changed?

Mini-DVI to Video Adapter No Longer Compatible

This is an infuriating subject for me. I had a 2007 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo White Macbook. On a daily basis i used it with my widescreen TV. I am not made of money, so it is an old tube screen that requires a composite connection.
When that macbook decided to not work anymore, even after several repairs, they replaced it with a new 2009 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo white macbook. Of course, the higher spec that came with this seemed like i should have been grateful. No, I've just been P.O'd ever since. I can no longer use my Macbook to watch movies on my big screen as the DVI adaptor which i paid a completely stupid amount of money for no longer works. I'm sure this problem could be fixed with some kind of a patch for the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M it comes with. But i guess they have just forgot about the white macbook now. Great.
Does anyone out there know of any way around this problem? Again, i want to connect a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo white MacBook introduced after January 2009 to a composite connection as once used in the Mini-DVI to Video Adaptor. Anyone know of a solution?
I ask again for this to not be deleted like all my other negative posts. It DOES contain a question, which i very much wish to be answered.
Regards,
Steve.

I dont think you understand. Yes, it does use the same connections - it all connects up properly. But after 2009 the white macbooks no longer recognize the TV-Out when you connect the mini-DVI to Video adaptor.
On my old 2007 white intel macbook that had the old graphics card, i was able to connect it all up then go into display preferences and it allowed me to set up the screens as i wanted (ie mirrored, side by side etc). Now, under displays settings, that is no where to be seen.
Its a nothing to do with anyhting being wrong, its just known that Apple discontinued support for it. Even on the apple store website here, you will see in small print under the adapter that it is not supported on white macbooks from 2009 January onwards.
I want to know is there any other solutions.

My Xerox Phaser 6120 is no longer compatible with Firefox. There is no new driver. How can I revert to a previous version so I can browse AND print?

For a few months, I have been unable to print from Firefox. I assumed it was a setting or something on my network, but today figured out it's my old printer driver that is no longer compatible. There is no new driver, nor will there be one. I love my printer, and do not want to buy a new one just to be able to use Firefox AND print. Switching back and forth between Firefox and Safari isn't an option. Any suggestions? Is there a way to regress my Firefox so it can work like it used to? Any workarounds? Thanks very much.

Also, if I can do that without destroying my library and files, it would be great!!

I can not eliminate ASK engine from the list. It came back by itself. Please, tel me how I can eliminate this problem. Another problem, this browser is no longer compatible with some institutions. This new version might have some problems.

Hi userwhat,
Your personal data should have been saved, and you can try to follow these steps to fix your problem.
*First, you should report that to the developer of the add-on the troubles that you are experiencing.
* Then, you can try [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ The Add-on Compatibility Reporter], which allows you to use add-ons that haven't yet been explicitly updated to work with Firefox 5, and lets you report the results of compatibility.
* For add-ons that do not work with The Add-on Compatibility Reporter, you can still downgrade to the previously maintained version, which is Firefox 3.6 that you can download here: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

HT5988 I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version? How do I make that unit compatible? olefromca

I agree entirely, been messing with this since the upgrade to Mavericks but I didn't find it quite as easy as uninstalling the WD smartware as it still operates when you plug the drive back in - I think it gets loaded onto the drive and runs from within (?). The advice from WD was that time machine was faulty and I should contact Apple...thanks guys!
Anyway, for the OP's benefit, this is what I found:
1. My problem was that time machine couldn't see any further back than before the Mavericks install, but if I opened up and interrogated the WD drive, the old backups were still there.
2. When TM started doing new backups, it overwrote the ones that it could see, not the oldest ones on the drive. This indicated to
me that the WD software had somehow partitioned off the old backups and excluded that part of the drive from being overwritten. Of course, as the drive was practically full, it meant that any new backups wouldn't fit in the available space.....
3. The only way I could find to resolve this was to use the disc utility to erase and repartition the external drive. This will obviously remove all of the old files and backups, but I was more concerned about keeping a current profile as backup rather than a load of stuff from months ago.
4. Anyway, what happens after the eraseure has completed is that you get the WD icon on the desktop, and you're invited to install the software - this means the software has now been deleted. Juts don't reinstall it, just let TM do it's backup and all is well.
Usual disclaimers and warnings about keeping another copy of your system etc. obviously apply, and I know this is a radical move to delete all your old data but it worked for me. I guess I didn't appreciate that you could use the external drive without the software that came with it and just followed the screen guide.
I'm also aware that if you don't want to use TM to do a complete restore and only want to find one old version of a document, this is difficult. However, you can then install the WD software and find the file but you'll then have to do this all again.....

Help! My display driver is no longer compatible with Adobe software!

Help! I rely on Adobe CC and my iMac to earn my living. My display driver is no longer compatible with Adobe software! What should I do? (most affordably because I dont have enough money for even basic living expenses right now.) Detailed notes are below but in a nutshell, I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS display driver. Adobe no longer supports it and disables the software functions depending on the graphics hardware. It recommends I check the manufacturer's website for the latest software. I did but only found firmware update for a different type of display driver for my early 2008 iMac. What should I do??! Please help me solve this!

If you decide to use up to the minute applications, you will have to accept that the computer and operating system will eventually be incompatible with your chosen application as the features in the latest application rely on new hardware and operating systems to support them.
Your options are to either use a newer Mac or use a version of Photoshop that will run on your Mac.

Firefox is no longer compatible with a screen reader programs why?

Firefox 4.0 is no longer compatible with screen reader programs such as zoom text. I'm a visually impaired user and have never had problems until now. I want to revert back to 3.5 because now 4.0 is useless to me. If it isn't broken don't fix it. Mozilla just made things worse for me. Thanks a lot.

Your screen reader is no longer compatible because it's author has not updated it for FF4

To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data. See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use
your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of
installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Ipod no longer compatible with accesory???

Hello
I had a tdk clock radio which was compatible with my ipod touch 4g. Since the most recent update (5.0.1) my ipod touch keeps saying that the accesory is no longer compatible with the ipod. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or anybody who has had a similar problem?
Thanks in advance
Christophe

Several users have reported simial problems after iOS 5 and/or iOS 5.0.1 but I do not think it was for your product.
- First I wuld visit tdk's support site site.
- Next try the standard fixes:
--- Reset.
--- Restore from backup
--- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- If you still have the problem you will have to waid for tdk or Apple to issue a firmware update.

When i travel and return home, my macbook no longer will automatically join my home network. Is there a way to make the current network your on a 'trusted' network or a default network to join via airport?
thanks!

Have you tried adding your home wireless network as a "Preferred Network" in your MacBook's AirPort settings?
