My iMac will not update to 10.6.8 Even after restarting, it will not update.
My iMac will not update to 10.6.8 even after clicking the restart button to update items. How can I update my iMac??
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Sometimes the Software Update version doesn't work properly. If you can't install Mac OS X 10.6.8 from Software Update, install it through the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
The Combo installer allows you to update multiple Macs with a single download. Also, it's safer because it gives less problems than a Software Update version

External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
Please help.
ThanksHow is the hard drive formatted?
Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
(The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
What do you see? -
HT3180 Apple Tv wants to update but fails every time - even after restart and pulling the power.
Please advise how to get the unit to accept the latest update.
Seasons Greetings
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted. -
MacBook pro does not recognize built in iSight cam even after restart/ reset
After years of using Sony hdr500 video cam, iMovie stopped recognizing it and then stopped recognizing the built in iSight cam as well. Now photo booth does not see it either. I have restarted the computer to reset SMC and that did not resolve the problem. I would appreciate any help offered. Thanks JJMANN
see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1151 Check cables, connections, too many devices, etc., suggested there.
If your issue persists, try these steps:
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect all devices and cables except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
With all you have already done, if no USB devices are recognized or work on your Mac after you have also considered all the above, you likely have a hardware problem. Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

.Im trying to download the new itunes so i can use my iphone 5 , however , the new itunes requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later and i cant seem to install that onto my imac even after searching for the new update (my imac is currently on 10.5.8.
You have already seen that you cannot load the new iTunes into your 10.5.8, so as Neil says, you need Snow Leopard (current cost £14). And you'll probably need to update the disc you buy via the combo update, though that is free.
As far as the new iTunes is concerned, there's been a certain amount of grumbling so you may want to study the forums before you update. The main problem has been with album artwork which does not transfer easily. -

Try a Reboot pess & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data This may help but the ipad 2 is a bit under powered for iOS 8 If you can a very good buy now is the iPad Air 32G Since they brought the new one out the price for this model Has come down by £120.00 That's the one I am using and it works great on iOS 8.1 Bsydd uk

Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

I had original iPhoto app from 2007 or 2008, but in the last year it stopped working seemingly out of nowhere. Now I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater. My pictures are lost in the abyss.
I'm using OS Extended 10.9.5. I don't know what the original version of iPhoto was.I just installed iPhoto 9.5.1 but it won't open even after downloading the iPhoto Library Updater
Have you run the iPhoto Library Upgrader? You need to direct it to the location of your old iPhoto Library by clicking the "Choose Library" button in the lower right corner of the panel you are seeing when the upgrade starts. -
After upgrade to ios7, few time i am having problem with my sound/speaker with terroble sound effect like machine or something.but after restart it will be fine.but how this thing can be fix? Because i never had this problem before upgrade to ios7.tq
Try going into your settings and 'reset all settings'
You will need to retweak your device but it's been said to help with sound issues. -
Just bought a new IMAC. Cant get the iPhoto to open even after apparently loading the library upgraded. Ideas?
Did you install and RUN the iPhoto Library Upgrader on your library?

my 5th generation ipod acts like it is going to sync and then "ejects" itself before even 1 song can be synced. It then doesnt recognize that it has been ejected and keeps the"do not disconnect" icon on the screen even after unplugging. What do I do? it also makes a lot of noise while connected to the computer.
Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order. -
There are a bunch of add-ons that recently were updated, including noscript, adblock, etc. These add-ons were updated successfully and say in the add-on window they will be installed the next time Firefox restarts. There's also a bar that says "restart firefox now" and even when clicking restart firefox, none of the updates seem to load. I had to manually download the noscript the last time to get it to work but alas with the latest update, again, same problems. i tried disabling other plugins with no impact either. Anyone else having a similar problem and does anyone know how to get this resolved?
Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry. New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
If you see disabled, not compatible, extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button (in Firefox 4: right-click the extension -> "Find Updates") to do a compatibility check. -
My iPhone's notes are gone. I noticed this after I did the latest update. What happened to them?
My iPhone's notes are gone. I noticed this afte rI did the latest update. What happened to them? I think I back up my phone before I did the update, but I'm not sure to where or how. How do I get to them? I had so many important notes.
Unresolved.

Ipod is not recognized by my new mac, even after restoring..
I recently transferred my itunes library from my old ibook to my new imac using my ipod. The transfer worked (mostly), but all my ipod's memory was used up, even after I had deleted all the transferred files. I was unable to transfer new music onto the ipod, since there was no memory. I then restored and updated the ipod. My current music library was transferred onto the ipod once I reloaded it on my desktop. But then I couldn't access the music on the ipod. (All the songs appear grey). I can't manually update either.
Hello, I am quite new to iPod and very new to this site. Hope I am not threadjacking, but seem to have a similar problem. I am not offering any advice, just asking for help.
My son loaded about 400 songs from his computer in OR onto the 20 GB iPod and they play fine on the iPod. I added more songs from my CDs to the iTunes library on my computer in NY, transferred them manually by dragging their names to the iPod icon on the screen. I could see the progress bar go on each. When I open the iPod icon I can play those more recent songs through the computer, just as I can play the original songs through the computer, but the newer set of songs do not show up on the physical iPod after it is unplugged. I plug it in with a USB cable and disconnect it correctly (I think)
Actually, one of the songs did transfer to the physical iPod, but none of the others.
I did set the preferences for manual transfer.
Can anyone give me some troubleshooting ideas? Looking at this chat list I realize loading and managing an iPod is a lot less foolproof than I had hoped it would be.
Thanks, Steve
