My MacBookPro is currently running on 10.6.8. What should I update to?
I am currently running 10.6.8 on my 2008 MacBook Pro. Processor speed:2.66 GH, memory 4GB. What operating system should I update to?
You might try Yosemite first, since it is free.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
If you don't like that, then Mountain Lion.

I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version. I am stuck in the beta. Itunes will not let me restore my iphone or update it. PLZ HELP ME
Wondering if you have a current Backup on iTunes ...if yes you could put the iPhone in DFU Mode by holding the Home button while you plug in the lightning cable. Then you could Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings on 8.0.2 and after a full Restore go back and then Restore from your Backup. This happens every time a public release occurs. Many folks on the Golden Master or otherwise in the AppleSeed program with a Beta version for some reason don't move to the official release ...then the software time-bomb hits and they can't upgrade.

Currently running OS 10.6.8. If I update to Mountain Lion will Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4 still work?
Can't say anything about Lightroom, but Adobe officially supports CS6 all the way through Mountain Lion.

I am currently running OS 10.5.8 What is going to be my FIRST step to take to upgrade to an OS that will allow me to use iCloud? I am an absolute novice!
thanks!Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

I'm currently running Mountain Lion. Is it recommended to update to Mavericks first before I would update to the new Yosemite this coming Fall?

I would recommend that you do neither unless there's some feature in Yosemite that you absolutely must have. With broad adoption (i.e., after the OS is released to the public), all kinds of problems surface which get fixed in updates. You can take advantage of their discovery and resolution by giving the OS a chance to mature. Since you're asking about going to Mavericks, which has already been out for eight months, there was clearly not that much exciting (except, perhaps, the price) to encourage an upgrade, so staying put was prudent. Once Yosemite's wrinkles are ironed out, you'll be able to jump straight to it, after you make a bootable backup of your ML partition of course, so that you can always retreat if necessary. -

Icant upgrade mac os x 10.6.8 to 10.8.3, when i try it says the mac os 10.8.3 cant run on this startup disk what should i do?
First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion and 10.9 Mavericks. -

I run the test center for a very large school district with over 120k students. We've got a current deployed base of 54k client machines using Firefox 3.6. We haven't upgraded due to multiple reasons, the most important of which is removing the possibility of using In Private Browsing from the students, and dealing with plugin-updates for the non digital natives (read dumber than a bag of hammers users) that make up the majority of the client base.
We're testing ESR now, but just found out that end of life for 3.6 is tomorrow, 4/24. We are currently in the middle of statewide online testing. The question is, what will happen tomorrow when the browser goes end of life. The ESR wiki mentions that "an update to the current version of Desktop Firefox will be offered through the Application Update Service"
So the main question is, are my students/teachers going to get a popup telling them they have to update the browser if we have the updates already turned off? If so, can I turn it off remotely using SCCM, because it will cause all kinds of havoc.
Please advise asap, and thanks in advance.We had to do some serious gymnastics to remove at least most of the ability to use IPB. We removed it from the gui, but unfortunately, if they know the hotkey, they can still bring it up. Security has some serious headaches with this, as by law they have to be able to track where students go, and going with private browsing removes their ability to do forensic work they're required to be able to do. Not a very well thought out feature from Mozilla in my opinion, but it is what it is. Successive versions have made it even more difficult to remove even the gui portion.
We do plan to release ESR due to the aforementioned security issues, but testing has been slow.
But thanks for the reply. I think we can turn off the updates if it isn't already done. -
I'm just trying to update my iPhone to iOS 7 through iTunes and I can't work out how to do so.
I've seen everywhere else on the internet when you connect your iPhone to iTunes and click "Summary" it has "Check for Updates" and "Restore iPhone..." just below what iOS you are running. However, mine says "Update" and "Restore iPhone..." also it says this above these buttons "A newer version of the iPhone software is available(7.1). To update your iPhone to the latest software, click Update.".
Upon clicking on the "Update" button it opens a window with a title of "Open" and shows all of my Desktop folders and Application folders and such. What am I supposed to be opening(if anything)? Same thing happens if I click the "Restore iPhone..." button. Help ASAP would be much appeciated.
I am also running iTunes 11.1.5. I have never updated my iPhone with this computer if that helps.I'm just trying to update my iPhone to iOS 7 through iTunes and I can't work out how to do so.

I am running Lion on an '08 Macbook, should I update to Mavericks?
As I said, I'm running 10.7.5 on an '08 MacBook, with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. Would you recommend I update to Mavericks?
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
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.
Note you must have the Late 2008 aluminum model to install Mavericks. If you are happy with Lion then there's no need to upgrade unless you want to or need features only available in Mavericks. -
I installed Lion on my late-2009 Mac Mini a few weeks ago. Within the last week, a strange problem has cropped up. Just a few minutes after reboot, my Mac Mini stops opening applications. I can try to open applications from the dock, or the Applications folder, or Launchpad, and nothing opens. Applications that have already been opened appear to be unaffected, as long as I don't close them. If I quit an application, I cannot re-open it.
This does not appear to be related to any updates or changes. The problem began while my Mac Mini was on 10.7.1, and persisted after an upgrade to 10.7.2.Hello, how exactly did you move these other files, & what were they?
Open the Applications folder, does iMovie & iPhoto work from there?
