Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
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.
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?

    Use a alias, but you might have to use a zip code that matches the location used.
    Also if you click the right button there is a way to bypass the registration, like register later or something, Apple has it hidden. Also to bypass the internet connection to send the registration off.
    Never place your name on a Mac or PC, it's spread throughout the entire machine, in emails, on the network in plain sight etc.

  • I have been using Logic Pro 8 on my Macbook OSX 10.5.8  Recently I purchased a new Macbook OSX 10.7.3 but cannot install Logic Pro 8 on it.  Do I need to purchase a new Logic Pro 9 or can I upgrade my Logic 8 to logic 9 and then install?

    Is there anyone out there who is having the same problem.

    Thanks ... for posting a method that works.
    UPDATE:
    The photo posted above is Logic Pro 8 running in Snow Leopard virtualized in Parallels 7 in Lion.
    I just attempted to install it into the Lion Macintosh HD from running the Logic Installer in Snow Leopard virtualized.  The Installer application does NOT see the Lion Macintosh HD in its Select a Destination window.  More work needs to be done for this approach to work...
    Any ideas?
    In the meantime, someone will have to work out an installation method using Pacifist (as CCTM suggests above), similar to this approach to installing GarageBand Jam Packs into Lion (which installer also requires Rosetta):

  • I cannot get my iPad2 to communicate with a Motorola H700 wireless headset. The iPad shows that they are connected, but nothing works.

    I cannot get my iPad2 to communicate with a Motorola H700 wireless headset. The iPad shows that they are connected, but nothing works. I am trying to get the little microphone to show up for voice messaging.

    I have since fiund out that the talk to text feature is only available on devices that support Siri, iPad3, iPhone4 and later. Hope this helps someone else.

  • I cannot get on to my Apple TV.  I know that they are now requiring a one time security code?  What is it How do I find it?

    I know that they are now requiring a one time security code.  How do I find it?  Does anyone know what it is?

    There is no such code required to use the Apple TV. A user can setup a passcode to be required for airplay, and Apple ID is required for use of the iTunes store (or any other subscriptions associated with it).

  • HT204053 I changed my apple ID. What can I do to change the icloud ID also so that they are the same.

    I changed my Apple ID. What can I do to change my icloud ID also so that they are the same.

    If you used the "Manage your Apple ID" login at https://appleid.apple.com to simply change your primary email address of your existing AppleID, then all you need do is log out of iCloud and then log back in with the new email.  If on an iOS device, go to settings, delete the iCloud account, and then log back into it with the new email address.
    If you actually created a wholly new AppleID, then you cannot change that for your existing iCloud address.  You can make a new iCloud account with the new AppleID.  But your current iCloud login would continue to use the same AppleID as its login.

    Want to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Ran uninstall for itunes and QuickTime. Unable yo remove Bonjour and Aple program. Error message that they are in use or the folder is open, ipodservice.exe is not running.

    " The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. I tried to uninstall iTunes, and it would not uninstall.

    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.

  • Firefox nor firefox-uninstaller will not open although I can see that they are running in "Processes" meaning I can't open it nor uninstall it.

    If I try to open firefox or uninstall firefox, nothing happens. I see that they are running in "Processes" but that is all. I can't open it; I can't uninstall it. Any ideas? I've checked my hard drive for errors, no viruses, all other programs perform as designed. Thanks in advance.

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

  • Room.  All of my photos are filed as Events. Is it possible to back them up in such a way that they are kept in the same Events that they are currently stored?

    I use iPhoto and iMovie and I want to safely take the media off my Mac Air (to give me more space) and store it for future use. All of my photos are stored as "Events". Is it possible to store them on an external NAS drive in such a way that they are kept in the same Events folder that they are currently stored so that I can, in the future, reload them onto the Air in the same Events folder?  I really do not want to have to create and name folders for thousands of photos!
    Your help is appreciated!

    Easiest solution: move the Library to an external disk:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note: you cannot use a NAS for an iPhoto Library.
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Where are my photos on the PC after sync with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this?

    Where are my photos on the PC after synching with an iphone?  I know nobody out there is stupid enough to suggest to me that they are encrypted and inaccessible, right?  Seriously?  How stupid would Apple corporation have to be to do something like this? That would be just as foolish as making my music unusable on the PC...
    Okay, Let's assume that Apple is indeed THAT foolish.......How does one get the photos from the phone to the PC and still use them?

    The photos are still on your phone, and if enabled in your Photo Stream. They are not automatically transferred to your computer when syncing.
