My mac mini is not updating its software to OSX Lion v10.7.5, which I need for iCloud. I would like to use iCloud on my desktop along with my iphone and ipad but the auto updates are only upto 10.6.8.
You need to get the newer version from the Mac App Store.

I have a Powerbook G4 running on OSX Version 10.4.11. I currently have an Iphone 3, but it cannot sync with my computer because it reverts back to a version so old that I can't even text photos. (I have itunes 9) I would like to get a new phone because mine constantly freezes up, but I figure what's the point of getting an iphone if it won't sync with my laptop. I can't even listen to music on my iphone! Is it possible to get an Iphone 4s to sync with a G4 Powerbook?
Hello,
Sadly not as an iPhone 4 running iOS 6 or above needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher to sync in iTunes.
Mac OS X 10.6 is not compatible with an PowerBook -
Upgrade Power mac G5 OSX 10.5 to Snow Leapard
Need help running Power Mac G5 OSX 10.5 Leapard planning to upgrade for Snow Leapard. I see that this is not possible is there anyway round this issue like installing Core Duo 2 Processor or buy new computer.
Snow Leopard only runs on Intel Macs. Leopard is the last OS you can run on a G5. The workaround is to buy a new computer.

It's old but my favorite Power Mac G5 OSX 10.5.8
How can i get and use iCloud for my Power Mac G5 OSx 10.5.8 ? Since Mobile Me no longer exist now my system needs access to Mobile Me in order for the DVD drive to operate.
To date what resources I have keeps telling me that since my G5 Apple is so old that I will not be able to gain control of my DVD unit in my Apple Power Mac G5.
I brought out my old G5 out of storage, it's been over five years since I last used it. Past five years have been using a PC computer with windows 8.1 on it because of the amount of problems I decided to get my old Apple computer out. The problem is my Apple computer a G5, dual processor is the old Apple processor it is not an Intel processor. The fact that I really hate Microsoft operating systems. I assume that because everyone is or has gone to Intel processor's this means that Apple has decided to forget all those Apple Power Mac's out there. To bad because of this my next new computer will not be an Apple.
Reason Apple with intel based processors use software to per say settle down the Apple computer. The program a couple of them do allow the Newer Apple desk top Pro's to run Microsoft Windows, but keep in mind when ever a computer use's a software program to simulate so that your computer can use Microsoft windows that software program really restricts Apple. Again your Apple powermac doesn't use windows directly. These day's everything' based on a computer that uses Intel Processor's. Apple's user's can not download any files, games or what ever on their Old Apple computer.
Again my Apple pro is not an intel based machine, so now what it sound like I'd better off. NO!!!!!. Nobody tells me I can't use any apple book on there operating.
Now am I stuck with an old G5 unit least till x-number of yearsSince Mobile Me no longer exist now my system needs access to Mobile Me in order for the DVD drive to operate.
Hello,
I'm using a G5 right now with 10.4.11 & 10.5.8, the DVD drive works fine, what exactly is the problem with yours? -

How to erase a hard drive on a i MAC Power PC with OSX 10.5.8 pre-intel?
I got this i Mac G5 Power PC with a 20" screen (no iSight) and last generation of i Mac repaired. Capacitors and a power supply did revive my machine and it works fine. I would like to donate my machine and want to erase the hard drive and make sure that all my personal data is gone.
I have the Leopard disk and I am told that if I booth my machine with the disk while holding the C key then I can go to Disk Utility and erase my hard drive.
Does anyone have a step-by-step approach to guide me through this?
Any help will be most appreciated!
Thank you,
GuyDrive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive. -
Video Editing Software for Power PC G5 OSX 10.5.8
Hello,
I hope I am in the correct computer category. I have a PowerPC G5 OSX 10.5.8. I have a lot of video editing that I would like to do, but don't have a program. I can't afford to buy a new computer, but would like to know if anyone has suggestions on what versions of Final Cut, or any other editing program would work on my computer.
Thanks.Budgetary restraints would push me to suggesting looking on eBay etc for Final Cut Express 3.5. It's the previous version of this software, and some say better than the current version.
If you do need more than FCE, you could also look for Final Cut Pro 5.0/5.1, which would likely do anything you'd need, for much less than the shelf price of the latest Final Cut Studio at an Apple dealer. -
Continuation: Can I use a Microsoft Power Point on OSX Lion?
Sorry - first time to use the Support Communities and I didn't know how to go back to your question of
What is the app that you would like to install?
Answer is: Now that I think of it, maybe it's not an App. It's something like applying to Pay Pal but called NXPay
and it said that I would need the Microsoft Power Point Viewer.
Now: there was someone else who joined in to help me but how to go back to that page - I'm now pulling my grey
hair out and I don't think by using that "back" arrow on top is going to take me there and I'll lose this page.
Yikes!At the top of the page to the right side of Apple Support Communities, click on Your Stuff and select discussions. It will show you everything you responded to.

hi, i have an old imac g4 running 10 .3.9,it has 2 partitions,1st partition has os9 and osx,but would like to put ubuntu on my empty partition,can it be done if so how,thanks for reading,
I have my iMac G3 set up with three partitions like you are proposing.
I'd recommend getting virtual box on your new Mac. You can install the latest Linux version easier this way.
The problem is finding a PPC distro you like. I forget how I configured the Linux boot manager, yaboot. I may have skipped it or had it installed in the linux partition.

The Ubuntu folks stopped supporting the power PC a while back. You will have to install an older version of Ubuntu.

I just purchased MAC OSX Snow Leopard Software update to Version 10.6.3. At present my MACBOOKPRO is Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. Since this is the first time I have purchased new software upgrade for my MACBOOKPRO I would like to know before installation if it will keep my documents, etc. intact or would it lose them? Appreciate any help?
Darci13How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s). -

I have IMac OSX 10.9.4, 4GB,Processor 3.06 with Intell2Duo. I would like to check for Malware. I run a TechTool Pro 6 every month and that comes up great.
When check how much memory I am using, with only Safari open I am using 3.9 and more of her 4.0 memory. She is very. very slow in processing. I had 4000
trash to clean out and it took her over an hour to expel. Also for some reason Safari will not allow me to click on a link, in my G-mail, and let it go to the page.
It has a sign saying a pop-up blocker is on and will not let me do it. I must open the stamp to look at my e-mails and if I have redirected link now I can do it.
I have not changed my preferences so where is this pop-up blocker?
I have looked at preferences on Safari and Google, which I do not understand Google, and do not see where this blocker could be.
Malware is something I want to make sure is not on my computer. Tech Tool Pro 6 is all I know of and it does not detect Malware.
Help.
