OS X 10.6.8 MB 13" (not sure of year) meets hardware requirements, cannot install Mavericks.

If I have OS X 10.6.8 isn't that Snow Leopard? I'm trying to figure out why I can't update to Mavericks with all required hardware. The only thing I am not sure of is the year of my MB. How do I determine this? And why can't I update? Thank you
Processor: 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo
Memory: 4GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion and Mavericks:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by clicking here. Neither Mavericks nor Lion support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

I am not sure what year my Macbook Pro is but it has System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549), will I be able to download Mountain Lion or will I need to upgrade first?

My ipad will not sync or back-up and thus cannot install OS5, it starts fine, but then says "cannot verify applications" and stops sync. Can someone help me?

going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process. Have you ever seen this?
After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music. The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad. so strange. I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
Thanks for your time and help!

Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thank you!

Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:
mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop
This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop. An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later). Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer.
After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

App store will not accept my Apple ID for updates after installing Mavericks?

I have recently installed Mavericks on my Macbook Pro. After installing it the two new updates for iPhoto and iMovie popped up. I click on the 'update' icon and I am prompted for my Apple ID as usual. After entering the correct ID the prompt disappears as if correct, but then re-appears asking for the password again. The prompt does not actually say that the wrong Apple ID or password has been entered. The updates do not install and the prompt remains. I know I have the right ID because I can install other apps using the same ID. I definitley have the right Apple ID. Now I cannot open iPhoto because it says that the application is not compatible with the OS! Has anyone got any tips on how to install these new updates and get around this error? Any help would be appreciated.

Following the info from support I enrolled into something called Mac Up to Date program, then you give them your serial number, invoice, etc... and then they seem to review the information and decide whether you qualify or not. I am still waiting for the answer, but I seem to be eligible (bought my new iMac on the 2nd of October and a few days after it was announced that all new Macs would receive iWork for free, so I guess my computer qualifies as 'new' - it is a late 2013 model after all).
But right now all iWork apps still appear to me as paid apps on the Mac App Store. It would be much easier if they appeared as free apps right away, but it seems the Mac App Store is a bit temperamental. And then there is the problem with the iMovie and iPhoto updates, which some of us are unable to get and that it is not even generally acknowledged by the support staff.
All these issues with the App Store are surprising for a company that takes pride in making things 'easy'

I have a 4s and I am not sure when it began, but I cannot save photos that are nit camera related in my photo roll. Furthermore, applications that I have downloaded and should request access are not apparent in my privacy photo settings. What should I do?

My problem began when I wanted to change my screen saver. At first, I would try to take pictures and download images and they would toatally disappear. So then I uninstalled my icloud, deactivated my photostream, and supposedly restored my phone to the last back up. Well atleast now the pictures that I take are not dissappearing into thin air. However, I have never been able to and I still cant seem to turn on the request for photo applications in my privacy settings. I am not sure when this initial problem began. As of now, I am not able to save downloaded photos to my camera roll and applications that request access to my photos are not displayed in my privacy settings to even accept the request. This is very frustrating and I am not sure what to do.
I have tried everything from disabling and enabling my icloud, disabling and enabling my photo stream, stopping the photo app and restarting it, and even restoring it to the last itunes backup.

This works!
go to settings> general>restrictions>privacy and allow changes. Make sure that your camera is on under allow!

Iphone camera shutter not opening...not sure if software or hardware issue.

Hey everyone,
So I've had my iphone 4 for about 3 months now. It was working perfectly until last week. The camera shutter will not open for some reason. I can't use the front face or the regular camera. This also does not allow me to facetime. I would turn off the iphone, cancel all the apps, and SOMETIMES it would work, but now it just doesn't. Now the weird thing is that when I downloaded third party camera apps from the apple store, my regular camera was working, but my front face camera was not. Also facebook allows me to snap photos, but not front face photos....
I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue, only because my iphone was working perfect for months before this problem occurred. Should I restore it?
I've had such terrible luck with iphones, if i can't do anything about it and Apple has to replace it, this is the second time i'm going to have to replace the phone since getting the iphone in april.
PLEASE HELP!

A simple search via the forums here or google would have revealed a multitude of posts about this issue, basic troubleshooting, and possible resolutions.

Mac Pro freezing at start up, not sure if problem is hardware or software

A week ago my Mac Pro began freezing at start up. I push the power button, the tone goes off, but start up never makes it past the gray screen with the spinning gear.
I have two HDs in my computer, one for Mac OS and the other for Windows. Neither drive successfully loads the OS. When I try and boot under Windows it similarly freezes before account login.
I have tried reinstalling both Mac and Windows OS several times, but encounter the same problem each time.
Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Samsung CLX3185FW will not print via WiFi since installing Maverick OS

My MacBook PRO recognises failsto connectto teh printer via WiFi despite I have inserted the correct printer IP address when goiong through the process of adding the printer again. I can connect to this multifunction printer/scanner/fax. I can also access the printer itself via the "Open printer utility" in System Preferences > Printer & Scanners > Options & Supplies > Utility printer utilities and see the cartridges toner level but the printer is in "Sleeping" mode. All attempts to wake the printer up or resume existing jobs in the queue fail.
Not sure what else to try.
Thanks for any help.

I have found the solution to this issue.
I connected the Samsung CLX3185FX directly to the router and switched the router on/off (not sure the latter is strictly required). I did not need to reboot the MacbookPro. This worked. Not only I could print but also, upon disconetting the ethernet cable form the printer, it all worked again wirelessly.
Probably this is has to do with the printer using dynamic IP and the inherent instability of this on the WiFi network. The direct ethernet cable connection printer-to-router fixed it. I waited for the printer to go on stand-by to see if it could be woken up for printing from the MacBook PRO, which was one of the issues I had after installing Maverick OS. It all worked fine.

After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I am trying to fresh install Mavericks (it gives me no other choice) on my erased MacBook Pro HD prior to selling on. It does not give me choice to use any other OS. Yet Mavericks is not available. ?? What to do please?

I wish to sell my 2008 MacBook Pro. Have erased hard disk and when I went to fresh instal Mavericks OSX 10.6 (it gives me no other choice in the disk utility program) It says in the Apple Store, it is unavailable. But because this is done from disk utility there is no operating system or access to choose another OS eg Yosemite. I cannot download anything using my iMac as that came ready loaded with Yosemite, so it does not show as a purchase. I do not want to use the Time Machine backup as that has all my details, apps etc. in it. Would the best way be to purchase a disk containing Mavericks the OS that was on it most recently. Can anyone offer advice please?

You need to re-install the OS the computer shipped with using the disks that were supplied with the computer. Contact Apple Support and have the serial number of your computer available. They will send you new disks for a small fee.
