Should apple have an upgrade tool that checks the computer for issues and fixes them prior to installing ML
I had a nightmare upgrade to Mountain Lion after downloading it from the APP Store I went to install and it got to the hard drive and it was greyed out and said it could not install on the startup drive I tried all the solution mentioned already, checking the disk the permissions, time machineetc and then started removing third party apps/software and it still wouldn't install in the end I saved everything I could to disk that I required and erased the disk, re-installed snow leopard and then re-downloaded Mountain Lion and then it installed perfectly and is running fine. I wish to ask if Apple can't make the upgrade process less stressful with some kind of tool that checks for issues prior to upgrading to ML and fixes or advices of any issues. Microsoft have had these kind of tools so surely Apple can do something similar that can advice of incompatibilty issues and fixes so that us MAC users aren't left scratching our heads trying to work out what is wrong, it's poor support when you can't help users get the software you make and sell onto our hardware Apple.
You should let Apple know of your concerns at:

I have a Honday FIT 2013 with the USB for iPod and the Auxillary jack. I plan to purchase an iPhone 5c. Can I listen to music from my iPhone through my car speakers?
Click the "Upgrade Eligibility" link on the right side (under "Learn more about buying iPhone) here:

If you're not eligible for upgrade, it will tell you how much more than US$199 you will be charged. -
Hi All,
I am configuring RSS Viewer webpart to SP 2013.
But i am getting an error "An unexpected error occurred processing your request. Check the logs for details and correct the problem."
I looked for solution of this error. i got to know, we need to set proxy server in web.config file.
So, in order to resolve this i put the following set of code in web.config and save the file
<system.net>
<defaultProxy>
<proxy usesystemdefault="True" proxyaddress="http://myproxyserver" bypassonlocal="True" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
But, still i am getting the error.
What could be the problem now.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
RakeshHi Rakesh,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used RSS viewer web part in SharePoint 2013.
The RSS viewer web part uses authentication delegation and is using the current user's credentials to access the proxy. However, the RSS viewer only supports anonymous and Kerberos authentication. So if you are using NTLM authentication, the RSS viewer will
not be able to authenticate the user through the proxy. More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

I cannot download Mavericks. Every time the file download stops a message appears that says the file is damaged and cannot be used to install Mavericks. I delete the file, download again and the same message appears. What can I do?
I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck. -

I have a windows 7 premium laptop, 64 bit driver, have tried to install itunes but recieve an error when trying to open. Error states "Apple Application Support is required to run itunes. uninstall and reinstall again, error 2 (windows error 2). have tried this 4-5 times with no success. help!
For 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.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if AAS won't install normally.

Please help me
One who has a G-5 can upgrade to 10.5 Lepoard. This will increase your chances of finding software.
For a browser you can use TenFourFox which is a rewrite of Firefox 10.4 SPECIFICALLY written for PPC Macs.
These sites should give you a shove in the right direction:

Try here:
iPhone and iPod touch: Frozen and unresponsive

Homesharing stops when the computer sleeps. Already checked the " wake for access" and already changed the computer sleep to never.
I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

I just got a new macbook pro. I was in launchpad and there were two imovie icons so I clicked on one and deleted it.
It seems as though imovie is missing from my computer completely now. I have not emptied the trash, but it is not in there.
Where has my imovie gone and how do I get it back? I don't understand why it isn't in the trash or anywhere on my computer.
Please helpHi wjosten,
Yes, I have checked the app folder and there is no imovie in there, there is also nothing in the trash.
I have also checked the HD for imovie and it seems as though it's just gone?
Thanks for your help, if you have any other suggestions I would really appreciate them. -

Is there a Apple tool to check THe installed applications by upgrading to os X Mavericks?
I like to know the following:
- Are there issues I have to know when I decide to upgrade too OS X Mavericks?
- Has Apple a tool I can use to Check my installed applications before upgrading too Os X Mavericks?
( Microsoft has a tool named Windows7Upgrade advisor what tells my exacty after running the program: Hardware Okay - Yes or no and what is not and also for each applicationprogram)
Thanks in advance Jo_imacI have not heard of such a tool; I usually check the developer's website and also check here:
http://roaringapps.com/apps?index=a
You will also need to make sure that your Mac is compatible - check the specs here:

A minimum of 4 GB RAM is recommended. -
Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(
Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.
