Most likely you can't because your model is too old.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

    i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

    You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
    Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
    Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
    WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
    Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
    NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

    It's probably the fields highlight color of the application, which you can change via Edit - Preferences - Forms.

    How do I save my slideshow to a DVD that will play in my DVD player?

    afaik, no, iMovie also relies on iDVD to do the actually burning to DVD.
    If you are looking for free software to do that, have a look at "SimplyBurns".            SimplyBurns rev416         
    I never tried it, since I have iDVD installed as part of the iLife Package, so I cannot vouch for it.

    How do I burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

    If you want to burn a video file which doesn't have any copy protection (DRM), there is a great free App called 'burn OSX'. Google it if you want to use it.
    If its a iTunes movie, and you want to play it on your TV you could use a cable connected to your iPod/iPhone/iPad or use an Apple TV box.

  • How do I open documents created in apple works that will no longer open?

    How can I open documents created in appleworks that will no longer open now that I have pages?

    If you have the Apple iWork '09 suite installed, you can open pure AppleWorks word processing, spreadsheet, or presentations in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote respectively. You can not open AppleWorks documents in Pages v5, Numbers v3, or Keynote v6.
    If you do not have the above iWork '09 suite, then download the free LibreOffice suite. Drag and drop your AppleWorks documents on the LibreOffice icon, and it will sort out what will open them. Note: LibreOffice will pause shortly after it takes you to an optional donation page — before continuing the download. Everything installs under /Applications/LibreOffice.

    How do I export an iMovie '13 to a dvd that will read on a DVD video player?

    Use iDVD to do it. Select and click "Share" at the top of the window in the menu bar of iMovie, and you can find "iDVD". But  have you got iDVD installed on your Mac? If not, please check https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4821 to reinstall it. If you have no iDVD installed and don't want to reinstall it either, you can use other DVD creator software to help you burn iMovie to DVD.

    You need to keep in mind that Gmail works differently than how Outlook works. Gmail is web mail that is accessed through a web browser, where Outlook is a locally installed email program that communicates directly with an email server.

  • How To Use "Burn MP3 CD" Function in ITune that Will Burn Contains Folder ?

    Hi, need help here.
    I create a Smart Playlist for an artist.
    In the Snmart Playlist there are 10 Albums by this Artist.
    Total size in this Smart PLaylist is 650MB.
    So I decided to burn all into a MP3 CD.
    Insert a CDR and click the "Burn MP3 CD" button.
    The MP3 CD I got is all song in the disc but without folder.
    If I would like to have folder for each album is it possible to do it by using Itune ?
    Thanks in advance.

    If I would like to have folder for each album is it possible to do it by using Itune ?
    Yes, it is. Just sort the playlist by album.
    iTunes: How to set the play order of songs on an MP3 CD tells you in detail how to do that.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to setup DNS behind Airport Extreme and ISP that will not reverse DNS

    Hi,
    I am having issues setting up my Mac Mini with SLS. Right now my server is connected to the internet through my Airport Express. It gets a static address from the router (10.0.1.13). The router also has a static address from my ISP. I own the domain redcedarpoint.com. I have set the A record to point to my static router IP address. I also setup a CNAME for server.redcedarpoint.com to the same address.
    During the initial portion of setup SLS sees my ISP's domain versus my own domain and incorrectly fills the local domain name. I manually changed these to redcedarpoint.com and called the server 'server'. This puts server.redcedarpoint.com into all the host names. Everything seems to work, but now all my users get email addresses like [email protected] versus [email protected]. I have manually set mail host name to redcedarpoint.com (although this is wrong I think). It solves the email addressing issue, but now postfix gives me a warning about a duplicate:
    +Jan 27 21:20:45 server postfix/postmap[70670]: warning: /var/amavis/local_domains.db: duplicate entry: "redcedarpoint.com"+
    My question is: What should I fill in during setup and how should I setup DNS from my hosting service.
    By the way, I am also trying to funnel all inbound and outbound email through my premium Google Apps subscription.
    Here's also the result of postconf -n

    The first one is easy...
    Jan 27 21:20:45 server postfix/postmap70670: warning: /var/amavis/local_domains.db: duplicate entry: "redcedarpoint.com"
    You have redcedarpoint.com set as both the domain name and the hostname of the server. That is not correct:
    mydomain = redcedarpoint.com
    myhostname = redcedarpoint.com
    In this case, myhostname should be the reverse DNS hostname that the recipient mail server would see on outgoing mail - typically this would be something like 'mail.redcedarpoint.com
    You should also fix the mydestination parameter so that it includes your domain name as well:
    mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, dmcwatering.com, internationalcardio.com
    mydestination identifies the domains this server accepts mail for. In this setup it will accept mail addressed to @mail.redcedarpoint.com (assuming you fix myhostname, as above), @localhost.redcedarpoint.com, @localhost, @dmcwatering.com and @internationalcardio.com
    Nowhere here does @recedarpoint.com appear, so users won't get mail addressed to [email protected]
    It's easiest to just add redcedarpoint.com to the list of domains the server handles mail for.
    how should I setup DNS from my hosting service
    Your subject implies a reverse DNS question, but there's nothing in this post about reverse DNS. Other than that, you should have an MX record for your domain that points to the public IP address of your router.

  • How do I make a music CD or DVD that will play in a boom box???

    I want to transfer some Christmas music from iTunes to my CD player but can't seem to find a way. How can this be done?

    The default file format for music in iTunes is not .mp3. It is .m4a. So if your CD player does play MP3 CDs the ones burned in iTunes might not play because the player might not support AAC audio files. The best way to ensure full compatibility with all CD players is to always burn an Audio CD. Then there will be no question.
