My iMac will not support Yosemite. I need Mavericks. How can I get Mavericks?
My pre-2009 iMac will not support Yosemite. It has Snow Leopard. Apple should let me obtain the latest OS supporting the Apple computer. Any suggestions?
Mavericks is no longer available. You will need to use Yosemite. You can get Mountain Lion, however:
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
Identifier 5,1 or later.
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later.
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later.
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Or you can stay with Snow Leopard.

Skype wont open, saying its "not supported on this Aschitecture". How can I get it to work??
I have downloaded Skype from its main website for MAC, but still it says " can't open Skype. not supported on this Architecture" when i click on it. I don't know why it wont. This isn't an old Desktop Mac computer, and Skype downloaded with no problems on my Mac Lap top. So what's wrong this time?
Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!Ahh, glad we got that figured out! You might want to make a note for any other problems you want to ask to post in the forum for Power PCs:

hi i am using mac os x 10.5.8 but this os is not supporting few software updates.so how can i get a better version of os?,,this os not supporting google chrome and i tunes 7..
The next Mac OS version os 10.6.
Below is a link to some details how you can obtain that for your Mac.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4368218
After you upgrade to 10.6 and update to 10.6.8 you can buy version 10.8 online at the Mac App Store.
That will provide the basis for any of the latest software you now want.

I have Elements 10 and a Nikon D7100. PSE10 CR 6.7 does not support the 7100 NEF. How can I get the updates to do this?
The D7100 requires camera raw 7.4 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 10.
Your two main options are
1) Buy a newer version of Photoshop Elements
2) Use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNG files which can then be used by Photoshop Elements 10.
DNG Converter 8.8

how can i sycn my iphone to iturn my ipod will but not the iphone?
That's nice, the device is listed on your Apple profile.
That has absolutely nothing to do with syncing to a computer.
Try a different USB port.
Restart the device.
Restart the computer. -

Are these photos in your camera roll? I ask, because only camera roll photos/videos can be imported to a computer.

Ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?
ipod will not let me put in passcode how can i reset it?
If a reset (the method Kevin refers to) doesn't work, you'll probably need to try putting the iPod into recovery mode and restoring it:

If that still doens't work, your iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to taken or sent to Apple for service.

i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar. How do I get rid of this?
You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root /Library
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
The next one is in your Home folder.
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
When you're done, try Safari. -
