My iMac is still on OS X Lion. Should I upgrade to any of the later versions given yosemite has lots of critics
I have always taken the view that if it ain't broke, don't fix it so i haven't upgraded my OSX for some time. Is it about time i did? Yosemite seems to have had several poor reviews so should i upgrade to one of the other version. I have a 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 8GB1067 MHz DDR3 memory. as you can tell iIam not a power user but do enjoy my mac, although I had noticed that Safari has crashed a lot recently.
Many thanks for any views!
I've had no issues either with Yosemite on either Mac I upgraded. A Mid 2007 iMac, and a Mid 2011 Mac Mini. Both work fine. And other than some cosmetic grievances and interface dislikes here and there, like Allan, I have not heard of any major device breaking issues with Yosemite
With that said if you are waiting for an Update that has no critics, and no reported bugs, you will be waiting for a very very long time.
Your computer should be able to run Yosemite perfectly fine. The likelihood of any issues is very very small.

I installed OSX server 10.6 snow leopard on my IMAC, but still have choppy videos. can anyone tell me how to fix the problem
By your use of "still", did this problem exist before OS X Server was installed? OS X Server itself has no particular linkages to video processing, beyond what OS X client provides.
Some details on the configuration might be useful. Are these videos you're having issues with stored locally in files, or are these videos received over the network and played? If the videos are local, have you tried playing the videos from a different disk? If the video files are remote, can you download the videos and play them as a test?
What software are you using to play the videos? QuickTime? QuickTime X? Does using VLC or another player work better? There are some discussions of choppy videos around the forums, too. -

We sent you three weeks ago add-on ImageExchange 2.9.4 and it still did not pass "fully reviewed" is there a reason?
The current version do not support FF 18 so the issue is urgent
Thanks
Eyal Shaked - PicscoutI talked to the Addons people, and apparently your add-on was rejected several weeks ago. They said to read the email you received from them for those reasons. I'm locking this thread as this is a Firefox support forum, not an extension dev support site.

I have the iphone 4s. Ive tried to update my phone & its stuck on the connect to itunes screen. Ive tried to even restore my phone then update & i still have a error for both of them. I have the latest version of itunes & went through all the other steps. Its still not working & stuck on the connect to itunes & im growing extremly fusterated.
There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

RE Skype for Linux.
Yeah, me too, am running 64 bit LinuxMint 16, I have tried Firefox and Chrome and tried to download any/all of the Linux variants but nothing happens, I have allowed pop ups and disabled security, still nothing. I have tried downloading any/all of the linux versions onto my Asus ROG laptop running windows 8 and do a file transfer - still nothing. So I have to conclude the page is broken ?? Pretty poor really.

How do I find which of the later versions of OS-X will run on my 24" iMac?
Am currently running OS_X 10.6.8 and really need to upgrade that on my 24" iMac if at all possible to run Quickbooks as I can't find an older copy of QB that will run on this system. Anyone know where to buy older versions of Quickbooks?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion and newer:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
A Mac older than those listed which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by clicking here. Neither Yosemite nor Lion support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

My iPhone 4s hasn't given me the option to Download and Install iOS 8.1.2. I still have iOS 7.1.2. How can I get the new version
Try updating it on your computer. If you get a message that your iPhone is up to date then you actually have an iPhone 4, not a 4s.

You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.

Lost my video camera when i upgraded to lion.should i upgrade to mountain lion?
lost my video camera capability when i upgraded to lion. any fix? should i upgrade to mountain lion?
If you are saying that you lost support for your video camera under Lion then I would say it's very unlikey the maker of the video camera will support it under Mountain Lion.
If you are talking about the built in camera, then thats different !?

Wondering if an airport extreme router that I bought back in 2009 will function as a dual band router, similar to the newer versions. I wish to run my mac off of the lesser Ghz and the periphery devices off of the other(ipad, iphone). I also have an apple tV, is this possible?
The 2009 model extremes are simultaneous dual band (but the 2007 model was not - it was dual band, but not simultaneous). Your problem is that I know of no way to force a given device onto a given bandwidth on an extreme. Both channels share the same SSID, and a device simple connects via whichever frequency it gets the best connection.
This is unlike other simultaneous dual band wifi routers. I use a netgear wndr4500 (n900), and each radio is assigned a different SSID (and can also be configured independently in terms of security settings, and even turned on or off indepentently). That way, I can force a given dual-band device to connect on a particular frequency by connecting it to that frequency's SSID. The two SSIDs still function over the same subnet, so all 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz connected devices can see eachother on the same DHCP subnet.
But, I do not think you can set up an airport extreme like that - that sort of configuration is simply not an option with those devices. -
itunes doesn't work anymore
My itunes was working fine until we try to connect a new ipod touch. It said I needed to update the itunes to 10.5 or higher. To do that I had to update my OS X Lion also.. now it doesn work... grrrr. Please if you have the solution post. I am placing a call to apple support to see if they can help me. Also I was looking for alternative software in case I can't make it work. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you and I am sorry I cant be helpful yet.
