I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.

You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

IPhone won't sync after Windows 7 operating system upgrade

I have upgraded my operating system of Windows 7. I reinstalled Itunes and now I can't get it sync with my IPhone 3G. I can manually drag files to my IPhone but when I sync it appears to sync but now music or video files are copied over to it. However applications and photos do copy.
Further, I have an Ipod Nano that does sync just fine. Any ideas on what is wrong? Anyone?
Thanks.

If you're running Win 7 x64 then you most likely need to update the bios...the biggest issue is with Gigabyte Mother boards running intel chipsets...
Updating bios resolves 99% of those machines...others depending on their configuration don't resolve with the bios update and the only known work around right now is to run is Vista or XP compatibility mode when opening iTunes

IPad 2 operating system upgrade problems

I have an iPad 2 (version 4.3.3). After problems with facetime I am trying to upgrade my version using iTunes. I've synced with iTunes, clicked on 'device', selected 'summary' tab. Next to 'update' button it says a newer version of the iPad software is available (version7.1.2) but when I click the Update button I get a message saying 'This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version". How do I get iTunes to update the operating system on my iPad 2 rather than just the version of iTunes?

If you have an older version of iTunes, then you're basically locked out to use it unless you update it first. Then after that, you can update your iPad.

New Build with Operating System upgrade from ME to XP

I am going to inbark on my first system build. THe MSI K8N Neo4 Platinium is highly recommended. I am not going to do a complete rebuild. I am just going to keep my newest hardward from my old system. My old processer a P3 933mhz along with moboard is at the core of my upgrade. I noticed on the K8N page that the board does not support ME. My old system (Gateway) shipped with ME for which I purchased the XP upgrade. I understand that the XP upgrade disk has the full operating system on it and all I have to do is put the ME disk in when the XP disk asks for previous operating system. Will this board be able to recognize the ME disk so that it will pass muster with the XP upgrade disk?

Thank you both for the prompt reply, what are your thoughts about the K8N Neo4 Platinium mobo? Is it as good as Tom's Hardware says it is? I am planning on intalling an AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego on it. I am not a real power gamer. I just want something that will antincipate the future. My current rig, P3 933mhz has lasted me for 5 years. Thanks
The MSI K8N NEO 4 Platinum is a very stable board, has a good range of features, is highly overclockable and is just great. I think mine is great so far and I suggest you buy a decent power supply with 22A - 24A minimum on the +12V rail to make sure it lasts and worls 100% correctly.
If you need any more help just ask!

PDF issues with new operating system upgrade...

After upgrading to the newest operating system, pdf files will no longer open when clicking the hyperlinks within webpages. I am able to open the menu and save the file, but it will no longer open automatically with preview or adobe. Any solutions?

In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder... from the menu bar. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
If a Finder window open with that item selected, delete it, then quit and relaunch Safari. Otherwise post again.

After operating system upgrade my iTunes doesn't have my Apps

I updated my MacBook Pro to the new operating system today. Unfortunately the update crashed my iphone and i had to restore it to the original settings and then restore it from my latest back up (which fortunately i backed it up today). However, I only have about 10% of my apps on my phone. I then went to iTunes to try to restore my apps from there but I can't find the list of all my previously purchased/downloaded apps.   Please help!

I've been fooling around and discovered a couple of problems. I couldn't understand why apps I KNEW that i paid for and were on my phone were now showing up as a charge. Turns out I have overlapping problems at play here. I purchased a MacBook Pro a couple of months ago and a friend set it up for me. Turns out that he didn't make my MacBook "authorized" for my iTunes account.   I did that and then the apps changed to show "downloaded" so I no longer had to pay to download it again. I thought I had solved my problem. But the apps still weren't showing up as a list for me to sync. I downloaded a couple again, hoping that it would help me find where they were going, and it did go to the screen that showed what had been downloaded and the pages from my phone. I tried to sync and received a warning. Apparently my apps are all connected to my iTunes library from my old laptop (which has been reformated and given to my Mom so thats not a solution). It says that if i sync now, i will forever lose all the apps i have in that other library.
Any ideas how to fix this?    I could start from scratch... but i hope I don't have to do that.

Z10 ...no longer able to add contacts after last operating system upgrade

Operating System Upgrade Question: 10.2.8 to !0.3+

I have a Power PC G4 (AGP graphics),450MHz, partitioned
hard drive, 9.2.2 on one, 10.2.8 (6R73) on other partition.
DSL with Modem>A.P.BaseStation, dual Ethernet and a
wireless network set up.
I want to do a total disk erase, no partitions, and
install 10.3+. I am about to purchase the 10.3 installation
c.d.'s from Apple Rescue.
Need to know: Can I eliminate totally Mac OS 9.2.2?
More specifically, only install 10.3 on the G4?
Would having 10.3 only have any type problem I may
not be aware of?
I am reluctant also to disconect my A.P. Base Station
as doing so last time I did erase and install, the
Base Station had to be re-set to default, would like
to avoid that.
I appreciate any and all suggestions and comments,
Judith

Thank You for your reply. Apple Rescue, also has
a c.d. that contains the combo update for 10.3.9
the c.d. also has other things as well.
I will need a firmware upgrade for the Base Station.
Already have the firmware chart bookmarked.
H.P. Printer, prob. will need a new driver.
I asked about this because I had read so many
other posts that seemed to encourage others to
keep OS 9.2.2 on. I never use it, never use classic,
not having it will free up some H.D. space.
Thanks Again,
Judith

Re-installing iTunes after operating system upgrade

Hi,
Just recently I upgraded my PC form WindowsXP to Windoes7, 64bit.
I had iTunes on my main drive, so that is gone and I want to re-install iTunes, or install the latest version of it.
I still have my old iTunes music library on another hard-drive, so I was wondering if it's possible to install iTunes and link it to my old library, that way I would not have to rip all my CD's again.
Does anybody know if this is possible at all, or do I really have to start all over again putting my CD's into a new iTunes library?
Thanks,
Lars

What exactly is on your 2nd HD? Is it the entire itunes folder (which contains your itunes database files) or is it just the itunes content folders (music, videos, podcasts, etc)?
The itunes database file is named iTunes Library.itl
If that is on your 2nd HD, then do a shift-start of itunes and select it.
By that I mean, press AND HOLD the shift key. Keep pressing until you see hte prompt to choose an existing library.
If you do not have your old database file, you will need to open Windows Explorer to the 2nd HD, and drag & drop the itunes folder into the itunes screen. Drop it on the word LIBRARY.

Won't Print Color After Operating System Upgrade

Within the last year I purchased a LaserJet CP1525nw color, and I recently upgraded to Windows 7 32-bit and now I can't print color. I've tried loading the driver from the CD that originally came with the print and I get an error message saying that it can not install the driver. I've looked on the HP website to see if there are any updates for this printer and I can't seem to find any. I was able to find a list of devices that are supported by Windows 7, and a list of devices that are not supported by Windows 7 and my printer was not on either list.
I'm wondering if there is anything that I've missed as far as fixes or updates for this problem, or am I just out of luck with wanting to print color with this printer now that I've upgraded to Windows 7.

Hi Akfshslyr,
Try installing the full feature software and driver for this printer.

No audio on incoming or outgoing calls after operating system upgrade

I have iphone 4.....Everything was working fine with it until today when I upgraded to iOS 5. My condition seems to be described here in several other posts where the phone app appears to be working fine but I can't hear anyone and no one can hear me once connected. I called tech support who advised to do a full reset....which I did many times with no luck. Each time...the problem continued. I got one call out of the phone after the upgrade.
I tried the head phone jack solution which appeared commonly throughout but also did not have any luck.
Out of pure frustration.....I decided to drop my phone about a meter on its back side. I figured it couldn't hurt.
Tried again...and everything is working fine now.
I have no explanation. I did 10+ resets and it was not fixing the problem.....dropped it once and I'm back in business and everything is working normally again.

Any good news for my Disabled phone brothers?
Will iOS 5.1 resolve this freeeking bug issue?
What developers say? Apple had noticed the issue or just ignoring and tryng to be dumb as always?
Please let me know.

How easy is it to use Time Machine to restore if my operating system upgrade fails?

I'm about to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. However, I'm a bit worried how to restore things if the process fails and leaves me with a dead Mac. Is it easy to restore back to where I backed up on Time Machine (which I'll do just before I try the upgrade)?

I prefer bootable backups/clones (made with Carbon Copy Cloner) since you can verify them after they're made; whereas, you have to restore a TM backup to ensure that it works properly. See these for details:

Using firefox version 10.5.8 now-can I upgrade to the new operating system?

I'm still using the firefox version 10.5.8 operating system and now my comuter is freezing up and now working well with some web sites.
I use my computer for work and have so many documents I can't afford to lose informaiton.
Help please... is there a way I can upgrade to the newer operating system without putting my documents at risk?

Tinacoffee,
Firefox is a browser; do you mean that your MacBook Pro currently has Mac OS X 10.5.8 (“Leopard”) as its operating system?
If you can’t afford to lose your documents, have you been making regular backups of your MacBook Pro’s internal disk to date?
You can upgrade your MacBook Pro to at least Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8). Depending upon which model you have, you could potentially upgrade it to the current version, Mavericks (OS X 10.9.2), but you’ll need to get to 10.6.8 before you can upgrade any further. You can do that by purchasing the white retail Snow Leopard DVD, installing Snow Leopard, and then running Software Update to get to 10.6.8. Note that if you currently depend upon any PowerPC applications, they will not work on versions of OS X later than 10.6.8. You might also need to upgrade its installed RAM to ensure good performance on a newer operating system.
Before you do any operating system upgrade, be sure that you have made a backup of your valuable documents.
Note that your current freeze up could be resolvable without having to upgrade your operating system. Would you prefer to stay with Leopard and resolve the freeze, or would you prefer to upgrade to a newer operating system?
