Software doesn't upgrade to 10.6

I want to download OSX Lion but only have v10.5.8 now. I ran software Update to get v10.6 but I received a message that my computer has the latest software already.  How do I get to v10.6 so I can then upgrade to Lion?

  • TS1702 After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.

    After I have upgraded to the new iOS 6.1.2, the email software doesn't work and is not downloading.  While before it was working fine.
    How to fix this?

    There seems to be massive amounts of problems with every aspect of iOS 6. From what I understand all you can do is try and reset your device and pray that Apple bequeaths working software next time or allows users to revert to iOS 5 while they search for someone who knows what they are doing. Perhaps you will need to use an alternate email app until then? (Although, Gmail seems to be the only one that works properly)

    They error message I get is "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit."

    The upgrade has been know to break Photoshop CS5 installs. An Uninstall/Reinstall may be necessary.

  • I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone?

    I upgraded itunes since a pop up stated that I would have to upgrade it so it can recognize my iphone5's new software. I upgraded the itunes and now when I plug in the iphone its asking "set up as new iphone" will this delete everything on my phone? Also why is it forcing me to set up as a new iphone, why doesn't it recognize it like it did before I upgraded iTunes. I'm afaid I will lose all my apps, music, pictures etc. please help. thank you.

    You are correct. Corrupted files are in the backup. If you've already restored the iPhone it has been erased and starting over is the way to go in order to eliminate the corrupted files.
    Hope that helps

  • Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade issues..  I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded.  Any suggestions?

    I've tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3.  I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded.  Any suggestions?

    Are you booting from the retail disc to do the installation, or running it while booted from Macintosh HD?
    It should work either way, but it doesn't always work when booted from Macintosh HD. The system files are supposed to be moved into place during the restart (while the HD is unmounted) making for a long restart time which sometimes causes people to think somethings wrong and abort it. Which is a bad move.
    If you're booting from the retail disc it's less obvious what the problem may be; however if you've tried it from booted from the HD and it's failed, then tried booting from the disc, it will fail again because the system components are already on the HD in a disc image waiting to be moved into place.
    Whichever way you were tryig, I'd try downloading OmnDiskSweeper (it's free)  and using it to see if there's a large package (around 7-10 GB) lurking somewhere that may contain the installer files. If you do, you'll need to trash that before the installer will see a 'clean' system again.
    It's also worth asking how much free space you have on your HD - if there's not enough for the installer to use for the temporary package or dmg, it'll fail.
    Was there no warning dialogue after the unsuccessful install?

    Video: Software Final Cut Pro X  10.0.8
    I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
    An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol.  This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C.  The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem.  By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise. 
    I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly.  An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
    The Temperature Specification  for this model is
    Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C
    Storage Temp.47°c
    Clearly the temperature my iMac  is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely.  Has anyone experienced this problem.

    When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
    You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
    Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
    Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
    When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
    I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
    I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.

  • What software should I upgrade to on an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.1 that is still capable with the computers hardware capabilities?

    What software should I upgrade to on an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.1 that is still capable with the computers hardware capabilities?

    The reason I ask is that I have just gotten an iPhone 4S and with the 10.4.1 software I'm running now, it doesn't allow my iTunes to update to the newer version.  Therefore, being stuck with an older version of iTunes, it refuses to recognize the new iPhone and will only charge it rather then be able to add music to it.

  • I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymor

    I have purchased the Adobe Creative Suite 4 and now my first dvd of the software doesn't work anymore. My computer doesn't want to read it anymore. I want to mention that I also tried on some other computers and still the problems continues. How can I solve this? On the Adobe webpage I can't find anymore the download for Adobe CS4. Thanks.

    You can download the software from http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html and can serialize it with the serial number you have.
    NOTE:- READ THE INSTRUCTION PROPERLY TO AVOID ANY ERROR.

  • Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install.

    Trying to download iTunes 64-bit version on my new Windows 7 PC. Getting the error 'could not locate "%APPDATA%". How do I get past this error? The software doesn't install. Appreciate if someone in the forum can help.

    The backup and restore from the iCloud was a little unnerving since the restore erased all information from the iPod.  The iCloud backup and restore took a long time, but worked.  I was very grateful.
    Trying again to backup to iTunes locally proved to be the same challenging problem.  The same backup to corrupt file was the message.  The status bar showing backup seemed to move faster to start, but then slowed to a creep toward the end before the error. 
    When trying to restore a backup in iTunes, the "Restore" button is grayed out since it is looking for a local copy.  Any restore would need to be from the iCloud which already worked but isn't the final solution.
    Your suggestions were good, I am just in the same boat.  Any thoughts about doing the following?
    1) creating a cloud backup
    2) resetting the iPod to factory defaults
    3) removing all traces of iTunes from my computer and
    4) installing iTunes and setting up iPod from scratch.
    This is the next thing on my list.

    If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
    Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

  • [T410s] Lenovo Software doesn't work for me

    Hi,
    System:
    - T410s 2912 W69, (8 GB RAM)
    - Windows 7 Prof. 64bit
    The following software is installed on my system: Office Prof. Plus 2010 (64bit), SQL Server 2008 R2 (64bit), Visual Studio Ultimate 2010, Sybase Powerdesigner 15.2, Adobe Reader 9 and Kaspersky IS 2011.
    Since some days nearly the whole Lenovo Software doesn't work. The only exception is System Update 4.
    When I try to start e.g. Lenovo Toolbox I get the error message "ThinkVantage Toolbox doesn't work...". A View into the Windows solution center offers the following message:

    The rest of the software mentioned above works great and fast. Only the Lenovo software doesn't work. This is rather annoying, because I can't change e.g. important property values in the power manager.
    I've deinstalled and installed (manually) again graphics driver as well as the troubleshooting software without success.
    What shell I do now?
    Regards

    Dorian,
    You found me! Thanks for the logs. They confirmed what I was suspecting: a font problem is causing any application built on Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) to crash. Based on our research there are two potential issues. The fixes are pretty easy.
    One or more of your installed fonts does not have a proper date/time
    The Registry may have some invalid font path entries
    To Detect and Fix the Font Invalid/Missing Date Problem
    Open an elevated command prompt (CMD.EXE) and navigate to C:\Windows\Fonts\
    Save a font listing to your desktop with the command:  DIR *.* /tw /od > %USERPROFILE%\desktop\fontlist.txt
     3. Open fontlist.txt with notepad.
      4. Remove any fonts with a missing or invalid date (January 1, 1601 for example). Easiest way to do this is by opening Windows Explorer, going to the fonts folder (C:\Windows\Fonts\), and removing the offending fonts.
     5. Open LTT or one of the other TVTs to see if the problem is solved. If not, continue with the next section.
    To Detect and Fix the Font Registry Problem
    WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. I cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk!
    Open the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE)
    Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    Scan the "Data" column for each font looking for any illegal path characters
    If any are found, remove the offending characters. Here are some blogs that may offer additional insight: http://code.logos.com/blog/2009/11/how_to_crash_every_wpf_application.html and http://alissonsol.blogspot.com/2009/02/when-wpf-applications-dont-start.html
    Let me know how it goes.

  • VMWare Fusion partition software doesn't work in Yosemite, why?

    Very outdated. You need V7
    And FYI, this software has nothing to do with partitioning, it neither creates nor needs one.

    i would like to know to what software i should upgrade i have a macbook 5,1 10.5.8

    Your MacBook5,1 will run the latest OS X version 10.8.5 "Mountain Lion".
    If it does not have at least 4 GB memory, upgrade it. Yours can address as much as 8 GB and Mountain Lion will be comfortable with that amount.
    You must purchase Snow Leopard on DVD first:
    Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Germany: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
    Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
    After you install Snow Leopard use Software Update to update it to its latest version, OS X 10.6.8.
    Then, you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
