OS X 10.5.8 update. Recieved 10.6.3 in which I need 10.6 to update from there
Here is my issue, Seems common place for OS X 10.5.8 upgrade. I tried to call support to ask a question about ordering the snow leopard update so I can make my computer function properly in this day and age. They wanted to charge me $20 for that. I refused. After researching the apple site on said upgrade I was lead to believe I needed to buy the Snow leopard disk 10.6 from the apple store and then do an online update to 10.6.3 from there so for $20 I chose to order the disk. I've recieved the 10.6.3 in the mail. A bit leary of opening the package and trying it because I was able to download snow leopard 10.6.8 and 10.6.3 online and after trying to install, my computer tells me I need 10.6 first. Do I even bother opening the package and trying or do I send it back and pay them $20 to talk to me? Cannot get any online support because I need updated browsers in which I am trying to do with all this, which leads me to here.
I'm afraid that story is a touch confusing but I will try to unravel it. The order of events should be ...
You have (so you say) 10.5.8. You want to go to Snow leopard. So ...
Check that your machine is capable of running snow Leopard.
It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Double check by reading the specs.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
If it does, buy the Snow Leopard disk from the on-line store. It will arrive as 10.6.3
Before you start upgrading, back up your files. If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative. Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, as your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow that with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
Regards.

I really want to update my iMovie, but I guess I need to update a lot of things first, which costs a lot of money. Is there any way I can just update iMovie and nothing else?
- If you have a 1G ipod you can't update past 3.1.3. To identify yourd see:
Identifying iPod models
- Be aware that if you can/do update the iOS to the latest (4.2.1 for a 2G and 4.3.4 for a 3G) you may not be able to sync to the old computer since that computer will need the latest iTunes to see/sync with the update iPod. Yo need an Max with at least OSX 10.5.8.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from the iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use on of the third-party programs dicussed here to transfer other stuff:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
Unless you can move/copy the iPod backup file to the new computer you will loose all app data and restore from that backup. That file is located:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -

When I tried downloading v10.5 I hit ‘Run’ instead of ‘Save’ but it doesn’t appear to have installed as I’m still getting the Windows warning: “The iphone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.5 or later”. I currently have version 10.2 on Windows XP, and I read on the iTunes download site that v10.5 requires “Windows XP Pack 2 or later”. Is it possible for me to find out somewhere if it’s because my XP is too old or is it some other basic and/or random thing I’m overlooking. I've already tried the Apple Software Update and I don't want to try installing it again until I find out whether it won't because my OS is too old or if it's just hiding somewhere already.
Also, when I’ve downloaded more recent versions of iTunes in the past I’ve lost all my apps & music etc. Is there a way around this?you update it by connecting it to a computer running itunes and starting itunes up on the computer clicking on it in devices and clicking on the update button in the content menu
if it say you have the latests then it's because you don't own an iphone 3gs but an iphone 3g where the version 4.2.1 was the last released
in that case you can't ever update it

updated iTunes to 12.0.1 on XP after updated recieved error message "The procedure entry point ADAdPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation could not be located in the dynamic link dll" "itune not installed correctly error 7 (windows 127). reinstalled same error. Tried suggested steps
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Still getting same error message. Can anyone help meFor general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Need help with understanding updates, partitions, firmware etc.
I went to update my QuickTime and in doing so was told to update my OS which included QT updates. Now I'm getting all kinds of messages about partitions, firmware etc. do not understand at all what's going on.
THIS IS MY STEP BY STEP situation with my updates:
I go to the Apple Icon and selected Software Update and it reads I have 2 items:
MacBook EFI Firmware Update 1.2
MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4
I select Install and then it state Installs completed successfully.
BUT THEN I recieve and new icon and this message below:
To update the SMC firmware on your MacBook:
Your computer's power cord must be connected and plugged into a working power source, or your battery must be at least 25% charged.
For more information see 'http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3499'.
1. Quit all other open applications.
2. Click Restart in the MacBook SMC Firmware Update window and wait for your computer to restart.
The SMC firmware update starts automatically. A status bar indicates the progress of the update. During the update your computer fans will run at full speed, but will return to normal once the update completes.
Important: Do not interrupt the update.
Your computer restarts automatically when the update is completed and opens the MacBook SMC Firmware Update.
3. Click OK. The SMC firmware is now up-to-date.
If these instructions appear on your screen again, the SMC firmware update was not successful. Repeat steps 2 and 3.
I follow the instructions and then I get this: (could get my image to attach but here's what it said)
the first error message heading of:
MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.4
Your firmware could not be updated, the hard drive partition scheme may not be supported. You must be booted from a GUID partition or RAID scheme.
see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2434 for more information (internal error 28:3)
THEN ANOTHER ONE POPS UP saying:
Your Hard Drive partition scheme is not supported, you must be booted from a GUID partition scheme.
see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html? artnum=303609 for more information
I went to those URL and tried to understand what it was telling me but I did not understand. I can't figure, by reading thru forums, etc, if I need to do this or not and what exactly it is.
So back to just pushing a simplet update has thrown all this unknown info. my way and I have no clue what to do.
Thank you. Hope this is more clear. -

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

and need the new iTunes 11.1 to be able to use my iPhone on iTunes but I need the new mac software update OXS 10.6.8, but my mac doesn't need or have an update what should I do! I'm upset :'(
The requirements for iTunes:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Your Mac must be able to run OSX 10.6.8. If you can run that OSX then you can run iTunes 11.1.
Which Mac do you have?

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

I have recently updated my CC programs to the latest version (CC2014) and now all of my files wont open by default into their respective programs, only if I open the program and go to file>open and open the file from there. How can I fix this?
I have tried 'Open with' and the version of the program now installed on my computer isn't even suggested as an option and when I browse for it, the file wont open with it anywayOn Windows (don't know about Mac), the latest version will always take over the file association, and become the default for indd files. It's impossible to change it.
But there is a plugin for ID that makes this possible. Never tried it myself.

I need to update my apps in the App Store, but when i try to update, the Sign Up Apple ID pop up box came out with different Apple ID. How can I change it to mine? My iTunes Store already log in with my own Apple ID.
Just now you said the other Apple ID stored inside it, is that mean all my data back up in that the other ID?
