Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
As you want to update your iPhone and iPad, you want iTunes 11.0.1, that requires Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
First, open  > About this Mac, and see "Processor". If it's an Intel processor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, so buy it > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then, make a backup of your data, insert the Snow Leopard disc and upgrade to Snow Leopard.
The DVD contains Mac OS X 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update and install 10.6.8. Then, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11, so you will be able to sync the iPhone and iPad.
If you want, you can check if you can use OS X Mountain Lion > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If you can use Mountain Lion, just open App Store and purchase it. Check if your applications are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • I have a Macbook Pro, and I'm wanting to be able to plug it into my TV to watch Netflix. What cord(s) do I need to buy??

    I have a Macbook Pro, and I'm wanting to be able to plug it into my TV to watch Netflix. What cord(s) do I need to buy??

    I do this sometimes and it works well.
    First of all more info is required like the macbook pro model identifier number found in 3 steps by first selecting the Apple Menu in the far top left, next select About This Mac and finally click the more info button. It should open under hardware and the second line has the number. (ex.) 2,1 or 4,1. With this info a person can look up the HD or other video out port to HDMI or SVGA monitor input.
    Secondly what type of T.V monitor do you have? Is it HD or an older CRT. Does it have multiple types of inputs? Some are limited.
    I dont want to start a list for every version MacBookPro but older MBP's can use an HDMI to DVI adapter.
    Hope this is helpful... If not get back to me.

  • Qosmio G10-100: HDD has failed - what HDD size do I need to buy?

    My hard drive has failed after 4 reliable years. What size HD do I need to buy? (2.5" or 3.5")
    Any other compatibility things to consider when purchasing an internal notebook HD?
    Thanks!
    Ben.

    It seems the largest 2.5" Toshiba IDE drive available 120Gb (based on http://sdd.toshiba.com).
    Thanks again,
    Ben.

    Hi Balzer1313,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an older version of iTunes installed on your computer, you can update it using this menu option:
    Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates.
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates.
    From:
    iTunes: How to install the latest version

    If iTunes is not installed on your computer, you can download it here:

  • I need to buy an older version mac to run OS9

    I need to buy an older version mac to run OS9 for a program,
    What would be a good option?
    Thanks

    Perhaps the PowerBook G4 (1GHz or 867MHz) model portable Mac, which appears
    to have similar OS 9.2 and OS X 10 support as some Quicksilver towers, to a degree.
    M8858LL/A (867 MHz) or M8859LL/A (1.0 GHz) later: Mac OS X 10.2.3 and Mac OS 9.2.2
    The towers are superior; upgradeable in hard drives, optical drives, RAM & Graphics.
    These can do more, and with separate hard drives, they can support several OSs.
    OS X 10.5.8 and Before, and Classic with OS X 10.4.11; and boot OS 9.2.2 with the
    original install software shipped with the computer.
    For comparing specifications and update information, see http://everymac.com and/or
    get information (download database) from http://mactracker.ca and there was some
    information in Apple Support hardware specifications for older computer models.
    Some resellers specialize in vintage computers and a few better companies repair
    them for a living; so they can offer a limited guaranty and offer better goods. I've
    heard good reports on http://wegenermedia.com about their service & inventory; as
    an authorized service agent, they also can repair newer hardware under warranty.
    {However, be sure the computer you want has the correct original software discs
    included with the sale, if you hope to run OS9.2.2 and OS X 10.2 or later, in it.
    The software is very hard to find separately, and many sellers do not include it.}
    Maybe a portable Mac can be located to perform the tasks you need, but the ideal
    could be a tower computer; for overall value of cost vs. benefit, by the numbers...
    But that may be a personal call, and not necessarily objective.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

    I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date.   Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work.  Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen.  When  I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password.  Any suggestions.

    Hi,
    This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password.  Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

  • As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4, my Roboform no longer worked. Roboform says it's not compatible so I need to buy an update from them. How can I download Firefox 3 again?

    As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4, my Roboform no longer worked. Roboform says it's not compatible so they want me to buy an update from them...don't want to do that. How can I download Firefox 3 again?

    What you are seeing sounds like the "advertised update" from Firefox 3.6 versions to Firefox 8.0.1 that started on 2011-12-01. See --> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6_MU
    This is the same as has occurred when prior versions were nearing their end-of-life. Support for Firefox 3.6 versions is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
    There are changes in the interface from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and newer versions. See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
    The new Firefox version can be made to closely resemble the 3.6 Firefox interface.
    #See --> http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/
    #See --> http://blog.fligtar.com/2011/01/16/how-to-customize-firefox-4s-ui/
    #See --> '''''Firefox 3 Theme for Firefox 4''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
    #*Add color home, back/forward and other buttons (like Firefox 3) to the Navigation Toolbar in place of the gray buttons in Firefox 4
    #*See: http://ffaddons.game-point.net/ff3ff4/
    #Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
    The only currently supported versions are 3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Firefox 9.0 will be released on or about 2011-12-20 and will completely replace Firefox 8.0.1; an update to Firefox 3.6.25 from Firefox 3.6.24 will likely occur around that same time to correct any new security/stability issues found in Firefox 3.6.24.

  • HT3775 what soft ware do i need to add to play a MOD.mpg file on my macbook pro???

    i am trying to play a video and the message says it (quicktime) cant support this file and i more need to add on?
    thx!

    either file is broken or you need a codec. Alternatively you may go to an App Store and look for a player that supports multiple video formats i.e. by typing player to the App Store's search field you should get quite a few results.

  • To save image, what tool kit do I need to buy?

    Hi.
    My system is consist of IMAQ PCI-1407, Pulnix camera,IMAQ 2.1, Labview 5.1 and NT as operating system. I think that I have to buy another software like a NI Vision software to capture and save any formation of video clip. Then, what tool kit(software) should I buy? I would appreciate with your prompt reply.

    To save your images, you don't need IMAQ Vision. You can just convert each image to a 2D array and save it using standard file IO. The acquisition routines are part of the IMAQ drivers, which are free.
    The Vision toolkit is useful for viewing images at high frame rates and for processing the images.

  • What adapter's do I need to connect existing hardware to Mac mini?

    Hi, I have a friend who is thinking of buying a Mac mini to replace his existing Windows PC ... he has a screen, mouse and keyboard (of course) but I do not think any of them will connect directly to the mini ... his screen has a VGA connector and his keyboard and mouse both have PS/2 connectors ... can anyone suggest a way to connect these to the mini?
    I have seen these adapters on Amazon ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FII810/ref=s9asin_image_3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0BFCGEB5PAQ1ANTDH3Y 8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=139042391&pf_rdi=468294

    Will these work? or is there a better way of doing it?
    Thanks, Matt

    Hi.
    Regarding the DVI-VGA adapter, the Mac mini comes with one included, this one.
    About the keyboard and mouse, those USB-PS/2 adapters are very tricky, and most times they even fail to work on Windows PCs, because many of the peripherals made with PS/2 connector don't have the necessary electronics to support the USB bus. I tried such adapter with several PS/2 keyboards and mice on laptops, and only one mouse worked. He may try, but I think it will not work. He will need a new USB keyboard and mouse.
    Good Luck.
