Message says to download from computer and synch - but my Mac is too old!

I have now paid for two new apps for my iPad. Keynote and iThoughtHD. Both tell me I can download and start to download. However when they are half downloaded it cuts out and a message tells me I will need to download from Apple Stor when I am next on my Compute. So I have now downloaded to iTunes on my Mac. Problem is my Mac is an old 10.4 OS and is not compatible with iPad. What do I do now, I.e. How do I get these two aps to my iPad? Thanks

What Mac model do you have? If it isn't a really old one, you should be able to upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.5.8, which is the minimum required version to sync with an iPad.
The upgrade to 10.5 isn't free, but I would check the usual places, e.g. eBay. I think you can also still buy it from Apple directly if you ask, but that would be for the full original list price.

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update

I have an older mac and it wants me to update to itunes 10 but my mac is too old and I cant figure out how to disable the update so I can use the store.

If Software Update is offering the update then it would be compatible with your model. Unfortunately, you haven't provided us with any information on your hardware that would enable us to determine if it really is too old.
If you really wish to disable the update alert then the next time Software Update opens, select the update in the list then select "Ignore update" from SU's Update menu.

Open this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109 print it from the computer and follow the steps there. You need to backup your data from the first device and then restore that to the new device.

I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list"

I deleted my iMovie from computer and from my purchases list in AppStroe. When I'm trying to download it again from App Store a pop up window comes up and says: "These apps were already assigned to your Apple ID and are available in your Purchases list". Please help me to reinstall it.

If new versions of iPhoto and the other iLife applications (iMovie and GarageBand) were purchased by the previous owner from the Mac App Store, then they will be locked to the previous owner's Apple ID and cannot be transferred to you. You will have to re-purchase them under your own Apple ID.
If this is an older MBA that came with Snow Leopard or an earlier version of Mac OS X, though, the system would have come with an installation disk that included the iLife applications, a disk which the seller should have provided to you. Those iLife applications would be older versions, of course, and may or may not work in Lion depending on how old they are.

Nothing will download from itunes to my iPad. Error message saying cannot download at this time.

Purchased a movie from itunes and it can't download. Says it cannot download at this time. Tried just a song and got the same message. Tried on another ipad and got the same message. Apps download from the app store without any problem.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

Transfering itunes from XP to new Leopard computer AND synching iPhone help

I'm a complete Mac OS novice and have purchased a new iMac. I have been using WinXP and own an iPhone. I have backed up my itunes library (from my XP computer) onto multiple dvds. How do I transfer my library onto the mac AND keep my contacts from my iPhone intact? Do I need to do a complete restore on the new computer? Will my contacts be deleted?
Please bear in mind I am a COMPLETE novice with OS X. Step by step directions for transfering my library, deauthorizing the xp computer, and synching my iphone would be amazing.
Jason

Jason,
Did you use the iTunes backup feature to backup your iTunes library to DVDs? If so, then to restore the backed-up files, insert a backup disc into your iMac, open iTunes, choose File > "Back Up to Disc," and then click Restore.. Once your files are copied, you can [deauthorize your old XP computer|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.4/en/15281.ht ml] and authorize your new Mac.
Note: Before you sync your iPhone to your Mac, make sure you have a backup of your contacts and all other important information on your Windows computer.
Go to the Info tab in iTunes (on your Mac) and select Sync Contacts. When you hit apply, you should get a message saying "The information on this iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync the iPhone with the information from this user account instead?" Click Merge Info. This should copy the contacts from your iPhone to Address Book on your Mac.
For more information on syncing your iPhone with your Mac, take a look at this article:

Hope this helps,

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), syc does not help; itunes store says it is installed and I cannot reinstall; deleting from itunes and synching does not remove "hung app"; HELP

App hung on "waiting"; during update, I lost my wifi connection and the app hung; now cannot delete to reinstall (no X), synching does not help; itunes app store says it is installed, therefore I cannot reinstall; deleting the app from itunes and synching does not reinstall the app on the ipod; the app developers have not helped and told me to check with Apple (which I am doing, since I am past my 90 day tech support). Hoping someone can help with this hung "waiting' app problem.

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next download the app on the computer and try to sync.
- Last, restore from backup.

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP iCal via WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete"

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP (OS 10.7) iCal via iTunes and WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete because the downloading never completes because I am not connected to the internet.
Why does syncing iCal need Safari Safe Browsing Data? How can I turn this off?

See:
iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi Syncing
"Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" is just some data that is synce with the computer. To turn off on the Mac go to System Preferencs>iCloud and turn off Safari

I used an external hard drive for my backups via Time Capsule. I bought a new computer and I want to transfer all my old fonts over to the new one but when I go into the Font Library from the hard drive backup but my downloaded fonts aren't there?

I used an external hard drive to back up my computer using Time Capsule before I bought a new one. I am slowly transferring information fromt he backup to my new computer and I want to transfer over my old font book. When I go into the Font folder on the hard drive the only fonts that show up are the ones that came stock with the computer not any of the ones I have downloaded over time. Could they be downloaded somewhere else?

The answer to that would probably be "Yes." If you don't remember where your fonts were stored, you may want to search your backups for any of the font files you know the names to. See where that takes you.
Ideally, Font Book and other font managers will temporarily store the fonts you "installed" into the System when you run the OS. When you shut down, etc. they are removed and reloaded on restart. The permanent place fonts reside is where you saved them when or after you downloaded them. I typically create a Resources folder on the root level of the computer and place a Fonts folder there. Then I install fonts from there, and they are available to all users on that iMac.
Perhaps if you did not have that kind of a strategy, perhaps many of them are still in your Downloads folder?

Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.
What is the exact message?

HT201272 I rented a movie, watched half of it. Had 27 days left until it expired. After 3 days, received a message saying the movie had expired and it appears deleted from my rental folder. Any ideas how I can get this movie back?

You would have to rent it again.
Once started the movie you have 24 hours to complete viewing.
How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

When i try to download the new version of iTunes, I get an error message saying the download was for 32bit and I need the 64bit. How do i download 64bit?!?!

Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

I am unable to open .epub books downloaded from Barnes and Noble. Keep getting "Unlock Code Needed" message.

I am running Windows 8 and am unable to open .epub books downloaded from Barnes and Noble. Keep Getting "Incorrect Unlock Code" message. B&N help is useless. Any ideas?

the user name is not the B&N username, but the name on the billing address. And the credit card number used for the purchase is the unlock code.
