I have two macs in my house. One is newer and came with the os x mountain lion software and the other one needs to be upgraded. I was wondering if there is a way to take upgrade from one to the other? Should not have to buy this software again.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Buy it for the other computer. Mountain Lion is preinstalled on the new Mac, but you can only use it in the new one

Can I upgrade from CS5 InDesign to CS6 InDesign, or do I need to buy new software?

Of this I'm positive: There will be no upgrades for InDesign CS6 (except if there were a security issue). Adobe never adds updates to an earlier version. The current version is InDesign CC. InDesign CS6 will always be as it is now.
What you may have read is that Adobe says it will keep selling InDesign CS6 for the forseeable future.

I upgraded from a 5s to a 6plus and can't get my purchased ringtones what should I do?

I upgraded from a 5s to a 6plus and can't get my purchased ringtones, when I go and buy the ringtone again it tells me I already purchased it, how do I get them again?

Hi there DallasHeat,
It looks like you will need to sync this data from your previous device. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Download past purchases
Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.

My ipad 2 wont upgrade from 5.1.1 to ios7. I keep getting the message software is up to date which it is clearly not

My ipad 2 wont upgrade from 5.1.1 to ios7. I keep getting the message software is up to date which it is clearly not.
I have followed the how to upgrade info but cannot proceed past software update.
I had no problems with my iphone 4

Your iPad doesn't have a camera!!.... Didn't you say your iPad was an iPad 2 ??
If your iPad is an iPad 2 then it will have a camera (front and back) and will be able to update to iOS 7.
The first iPad's last update was before iOS 6, and you said yours was saying 5.1.1 was up to date, then it is probably and iPad first gen not an iPad 2.
So to answer your question.... You can't update to iOS 7 because your iPad is a first gen not an iPad 2.
I hope this helped!!!! :D

HT1338 To upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6, do I also need to buy 10.5?

To upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6, do I also need to buy 10.5?

But you do need to meet the system 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 MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
You also need to contact Apple to purchase the DVD:
You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
After you install Snow Leopard you will want 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.

I recently upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, but now all songs purchased from iTunes will not play via my phone. Any idea how to fix this problem?

I upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 4s, after a few initial problems and two restores, everythings seemed to be working...until I went to play some music, all music loaded to itunes via CD's played, but ALL purchased music from itunes does not play...i click on the song and the screen flashes to the image then goes back to the list of songs, so the purchased music shows up...just does not play. Can anyone help resolve this problem? Thanks!

here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

Upgrading from 5 to 7. An Idiot's Guide needed

When I first got my Mac, it was just on the cusp of OSX. So it came loaded with OSX and OS9. The shop I got all the kit from set everything up on OS9 with Logic 5 working via OMS.
Now, this has worked fine (apart from a few lack of memory problems) but it's time to move on.
So, I upgraded to Tiger and I've bought the upgrade from Logic 5 (Big Box version) to Logic 7 pro.
Obviously I need more memory, although I'm not sure how much, but what are the practicalities to make sure it works when I first fire it up?
What happens to my old favorite VST's?
Virtual Guitarist, Groove Agent, Stylus,
My battered old Edirol Orchestral?
I write for TV regularly so I can't afford to have much down-time.
Please someone tell me it'll be OK....
Cheers
Rod

OMS was very popular for Mac OS 9 because it managed your MIDI ports and abstracted the software/MIDI relationship to where all we needed to know were the names of the ports, rather than port numbers and stuff like that.
Apple's CoreMIDI structure in Mac OS X is based on OMS (Doug Wyatt, the developer of OMS, works for Apple and has been the primary developer behind CoreMIDI).
If you are still planning to dual boot from OS9, you will use OMS there. However, as far as OS X goes, everything you need is built in and accessed from the Audio MIDI Setup utility.

Why would upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion more than double the size of my Time Machine backup?

I have a 500GB Time Capsule that has 248 GB used. After upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion, Time Machine reported that there was no longer enough room on the TC to complete the backup. Surely the new system files aren't taking up over 200GB? Does it somehow want to copy all of my user files again, even though the vast majority of those haven't changed since the previous backup?
I'd like not to have to upgrade to a larger TC just because of a system upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

If it is working as expected, what do you need with the old backup?
If you want to be able to go back to where you were prior to an upgrade, isolate that backup and don't use it again. As far as Time Machine can tell, the whole drive changed.
The link I posted contains probably everything that anybody knows about Time Machine and how to manipulate it to work as you would like as opposed to how it was designed to work. There are FAQs to continue a backup as opposed to starting fresh, but I wouldn't recommend it for the reasons above. Pondini probably doesn't, either.
If you are going to do a wholesale upgrade of the OS, I would create a bootable clone using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. A bootable clone on an external drive can have you back up and running instantly if the upgrade fails in any way. If the upgrade goes fine, store it away in case you find the current system isn't to your liking.

I have just ordered download via email to upgrade from 10.6.8 to Lion. Will I need my original mac installation disc?

I don't have it anymore unfortunately after it was damaged in storage, so I'm concerned. It's an iMac I bought in mid 2007.
If someone could set my mind at ease about this I would be very grateful.
Many thanks

Thanks Niel. That's a massive weight off!
Has an internal drive fail been known to happen during an upgrade or do you just mean generally? Sorry if that seems a really stupid question, but I am stupid when it comes to this sort of thing!

EMacs PPC G4 upgraded from 9.2.2 -10.3.9 how do I add classic software?

I'm new to posting in forums & unsure about which OS to post in.
I run a Mac computer lab at an elementary school. I need to add some licensed software that only works on OS 9. How do I do that without losing the ability to use the OS 10.3.9 & 10.2.8 programs which I mistakenly deleted before upgrading?
eMac info: PPC G4 1.25 &1 GHz, 256MB DDR SDRAM, HD-40GB, OS 10.3.5 upgraded to 10.3.9. Also have PPC G4 800GHz, 128MB RAM, HD-38GB OS 9.2.2 upgraded to 10.2.8.
My experience is mostly PC but I'm slowly learning Mac.
Ideas anyone? I need this for a class on Fri or Mon.

Hi, kigc -
With regard to the eMac models, Classic (OS 9) can be installed only from the original disk set that came with each machine; the specifics of doing so vary a bit depending upon what the original OSX version was for each machine. One or more of these Apple KBase articles should assist in doing that -
Article #106294 - Mac OS X: How to reinstall Mac OS 9
Article #107383 - Mac OS X 10.2, 10.3: How to perform Mac OS 9 clean installation with Restore CDs
Article #42929 - Using Restore Discs with Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3..3
Article #151871 - Mac OS X 10.3: Installing Classic
Although all eMacs can use OS 9 as Classic, not all are OS 9 bootable. The 1.25GHz eMac models are not OS 9 bootable; the 1.0GHz models are OS 9 bootable only if the machine has ATI Graphics and the original optical drive is not a Superdrive.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86209
With regard to the G4 800MHz model, that would be a G4 Quicksilver (2002) model. It is OS 9 bootable, but only using the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which shipped with the machine on a stand-alone Software Install CD for OS 9; that disk is the only source for installiing OS 9 (Classic) on that machine.
<hr>
If you do not need to boot any of the above machines to OS 9, and need to use it only as Classic, then you can copy a working OS 9.2.2 (or perhaps an OS 9.1 or 9.2.1) System Folder from another machine. This should work fine as Classic, but will not be able to boot the machine (even if it is OS 9 bootable).
On those machines which are OS 9 bootable, if the hard drive does not have OS 9 drivers installed (this can happen if the drive was formatted using OSX's Disk Utility and the option to install OS 9 drivers was not selected) then not only will the drive not be available when the machine is booted to OS 9 (such as to an OS 9 Install CD for machines capable of using one), it also can not be used for OS 9 booting. The absence of OS 9 drivers will not have any effect when using OS 9 as Classic.

Upgrading from 10.2.8 to 10.4.6. Need some advice before I begin.

I'm running a workgroup server, that handles an in-house web page, retrospect backup services, file sharing, and mail list handling through sendmail.
The Hardware: Dual 1.4 GhZ G4, Mirrored drive doors. 1.5 gigs of installed RAM. Presently running Mac OS X server, v10.2.8. I already have the latest version of Retrospect, v6.1.126. This has been running for several months now, with no problem.
I've been requested and required to upgrade this operating system to OS X server, version 10.4.6. I already have the duly licensed copy of the OS, and I've downloaded the OS X server combo updater for 10.4.6. (Yes, I know 10.4.7 is posted. )
My question: what "gotchas" should I be aware of before I begin? It looks as though user account info, file sharing, and the small web page will stay just fine, but I have concerns about sendmail. This needs to work with a minimal amount of grief. Sendmail on this system handles several mailing lists of considerable size, and it would rather painful to have to rebuild the entire thing. I don't think switching this duty to another application is an option.
Any help and answers would be appreciated, thank.

I did that a few month's ago now, and for the most part it wasn't a problem. I lost a little of the stored e-mails because of not backing up the drives properly but that was okay, they were just archives anyway.
As far as using sendmail, I don't know, as I went from Apple's MTA to Postfix with Mailman, which works wonderfully. But I would think if you just make sure to backup your sendmail config files and then copied them into the appropriate places on the new server you should be set... But again, I don't know how sendmail works

Trying to upgrade from 10.6 to 10.10. Do I need to do each version one at a time?

I just need to know if I need to pay for each individual upgrade so that I can purchase an app that won't let me get an older version.

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing.

Cs5: upgrading from CS2 to CS5 PC to Mac...need help shrinking file sizes

I am designing wallpapers for cellphones and was given very specific guidelines of various dimensions and file size (based on the different devices), 96 dpi, and PNG format. When working on my PC using Ps CS2, I would drag or copy/paste images from AI (CS I think) into PS. I found that the file size was lower when doing that. I would then do a "save as", and successfully keep to the given specs.
When I tried this on my Mac, using an image that I previously saved on my pc as a test, the file sizes were always over what they needed to be. I can't seem to figure out what the difference could be. I couldn't do a "save for web" because the dpi would come back as 72 when the file is opened. I tried that once and I was told to re-save the images again...and each image is saved over 100 times. My PC went down and I've not been able to continue the work since.
Does anyone have a clue what I can do to fix this? I am totally baffled at this point. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

I'm on PC/Windows 7. I had enough issues getting CS2 installed on Windows 7, but it can be done. I just wanted some assurance that Dreamweaver installation doesn't remove GoLive. Thanks!
