Software update for mac mini (late 2006)

What software update do I need to buy for my mac mini (late 2006) so I can update itunes?)

Hello,
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

    You'll want something that's 1080p. Best to have one with HDMI input, too. Other than that, let price and warranty be your guide.

  • After Software Updates Applied Mac Mini Freezes after little use

    Yesterday I let the computer run updates, now after a short period of use the computer desktop goes to an hour glass and I have to reboot to get control back. Even terminal sessions are frozen. Only Apple software installed on the computer, except for PostgreSQL, Sonos and Mozy. I deinstalled Mozy but that did not help.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    I wonder if its a virus?
    whatever it is that plagues your machine, i certainly isn't a virus - there aren't any for Mac !
    however, i'm running out of options. the only other thing i can think of would be a complete re-installation of Mac OS. if that doesn't fix your mini, and if it's still under warranty, i would start planing a trip to Apple.
    before embarking on that path, be sure you're well baked up. if you don't have a spare, get an external HD (USB or, better yet, firewire) and use e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner to bootably clone your startup disk. a current TM backup would also do (but i recommend both).
    maybe another user has a better idea. best of luck in any case !

  • New updates for Mac Mini

    I purchased a new Mac Mini and received it Thursday.  I went in to do the updates and downloaded the maverick fixes which went fine but when I restarted my computer to install nothing is happening.  It has been on the same spot for almost 24 hours.   Any ideas in what to do or is this normal?

    Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane and let them deal with the problem. BTW, that's not normal.

  • What is the most recent software update for mac

    I have a recent MacBook pro and the most recent software update is over 1gb! I just wondered what it was? M

    A really recent MacBook Pro would be running Lion, Mac OS 10.7, and the most recent update is 10.7.3. The delta update from 10.7.2 was found to cause problems and rather than fix them, the update was pulled and Lion users were directed to the "combo" updater which contained all the code necessary to update any Mac running Lion from any previous version of Lion, which is a lot of code, hence the very big download. BTW, 10.7.3 has been problematic for some software so it would be wise to explore the comments and complaints in the Lion forum before you update since you can't go back if you change your mind without having a good backup. Also BTW, this forum is for the Mac Pro; you have a MacBook Pro, which has its own forum and can probably provide you with more useful information.

  • What kind of HDD should I buy for Mac mini late 2007

    1. Toshiba or Hitachi or Maxtor or Fuji...?
    2. 2.5" SATA or 2.5" SATA2 or..?
    3. What brand and specification inside the New Mac mini(March 2009 later) for 120GB and 320GB?

    Toshiba, Hitachi and Maxtor have varied histories when it comes to letting bugs get out of the manufacturing process. That's why I mentioned Seagate. I don't know how good Fuji is.

  • Software update for Mac App store

    I tried to update my software to get the new Mac App store. It said everything was downloaded and installed but I couldn't find the Mac app store anywhere on my macbook pro. I tried to check for software updates so see if I missed anything but i had no more updates available. What can I do?
    Thank you

    You need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 to have it. Mac OS X 10.6 is a paid upgrade.

  • N95 Software Updater for Mac OS X Tiger and Leopar...

    Hi Guys,
    I am posting this in preparation for potentially migrating from a Windows PC to a Mac.
    I have just got an N95 on T-Mobile, which is fully up to date. Currently, at the moment I have a laptop running Windows XP but I am considering moving to a Max OX Leopard MacBook in a couple of months and I wondering whether there is a "Software Updater" application for Mac OS X?
    I am very interested to gain a full understanding of the Mac OS X compatibility. So I'd be very interested to hear anything.
    Many thanks in advance.

    This infuriates me! The non-microsoft users will remember how you treated us, Nokia. You can make things work cross platform or at least with Wine. This is inexcusable.
    i'm a mac user.
    before that i was a linux user.
    before that i was a BeOS user.
    i haven't been a windows user since 1998.
    and i dont blame nokia at all for not providing a mac tool to update firmware on our phones.
    have you ever updated the firmware on ANYTHING before? no? let me give you the run-down:
    1. motherboards. they used to provide DOS boot floppies to update motherboard bios, but these days it's invariably a windows gui tool. yeah - when that change happened all i could think was "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont bluescreen on me"!!!. but, thats the world today - so if you want to update the bios on your linux box, you'd better have a windows drive to boot from.
    2. DVD/CD drives. again, windows gui tools - but with a higher percentage of exceptions. in some RARE cases you can even do it from linux.
    3. mobile phones. well? i've never had a phone before with firmware updates even AVAILABLE. it used to be that you could tell a good motherboard manufacturer from a bad one by looking for firmware updates to its top 3 models. if there were only a few, and only for the first year, that company sucked (think Biostar). if they had ongoing support, frequent and adding features worth wanting over several years, that was a good company (think Asus). so where does that leave us? Nokia provides ongoing firmware updates. THANK YOU NOKIA FOR CARING ENOUGH TO DO IT.
    yes. thank's are in order - not complaints. they dont sell windows. they dont sell macosx. they dont sell desktop operating systems at all. they sell phones. phones that have software. they provide ongoing support for these phones in the form of firmware updates. they give these updates freely and ensure that for a large portion of their user base that these updates can be installed from home with well tested code. for the rest of us? either take your phone to a nokia service center (i think the closest one to me is a 9 hour drive) or use a windows box. OR JUST KEEP YOUR OLD FIRMWARE, hell nokia isn't compelled to provide new firmware in the first place. the fast that they do is nice, but your phone does what-it-says-on-the-tin. you don't need to use windows at all if you dont want, you just cant update your firmware.
    i am so sick of hearing the same tired complaints that "we'll never forgive you nokia" and "you make me switch to a competitor". its all **bleep**. you bought your nokia phone because of the features listed on the box. they are good features. the phone has these features, just as promised. use them and rejoice.
    hrmph.
    N95-1 ---> N97-NAM ---> N900 ---> E7-00 + N900 (I use them both)

  • TA21009 does a software update for mac os x delete files

    I need to update my mac lap top to update my itunes and want to know if I do will any of my music, pictures, or any other files get deleted in the process?

    If you plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard from Tiger, then I would urge you go first erase the drive then install Snow Leopard. To do this you will need to make a backup.
    That said a normal "upgrade" installation to Snow Leopard will not erase the drive and will not affect your files. However, a backup first is still recommended. And, to avoid possible problems you need to repair the hard drive and permissions before upgrading.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.

  • Is there a list of software updates for Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar available

    Now that Apple has discontinued support for my iMac G3, or rather, software update support for systems running OS 9 through OS X 10.3, is there a User-provided list in this forum that might assist me in downloading updates for Jaguar
    Here is the Apple article of declared discontinuation: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5405
    Furthermore, is there a location in the System that 1:) download packages are stored, and in theory could be restored from an old disc image of my system, and 2) is there a location in the System that stores a History of OS X installs one by one?
    I have a disc image of my system; I just am not sure it has every software update that might be needed.
    Thank you for any suggestions.
    This system is a iMac G3 128 mb ram, Blue case

    I hear crickets! Thanks anyway.

  • Updates for mac-mini?

    Niel, should not the OP be able to purchase the Lion update via the Mac App store which was added by OSX 10.6.8? That is how I obtained my Lion for my laptop that can only go to Lion and my Mini that came with 10.5.8 (now has Mountain Lion)
