What Username and password is the User Account Control program asking for to complete the 10.7 download on my PC? It asks do you want to allow he following program to make changes to your computer.
The updated version of iTunes is a change to your computer, and the computer is trying to protect itself against unauthorised changes that could damage it (in other words, hacking, trojans, viruses etc.).
On your computer, you are using a User Account; imagine that it's your part of the computer. Each user on the computer is either an administrator (who can make changes) or a non-adminstrator (who cannot make changes) to the computer itself.
Do other people use the computer as well, such as your parents, who may have restricted your ability to change programmes on the computer?
Or is the computer at, and owned by, your school, or in an office? If so, their computer department has created an account on the computer for you to use, but not change.
In either of the above scenarios, your account will be a non-administrator account. If it's your parents' machine, perhaps they have an administrator's account.
If you are the only user of the computer, or there is only the one account on it, then presumably, the administrator password is one that you have set up. -

Error-19 while trying to upgrade to v.7.4.1
In Airport Utility, when trying to upgrade to the 7.4.1 firmware (from 7.3.2), I keep getting an Error-19 message: *An error occurred while reading the configuration*. Make sure your Apple wireless device is plugged in and in range of your computer or connected via Ethernet and try again (-19)".
This is despite that it is in range and it is connected and working properly. I have not tried with a direct (wired) Ethernet connection. But after reading the many problems with v.7.4.1, I'm not sure I want to update to this version. Now, everytime I turn on the MBP or switch user accounts, the Airport Utility turns on and I get an an annoying message that there is a problem with my base station requiring the update. The green status light on the on-screen advisory has now turned to amber. Working off an Airport Extreme/ 1Tb TC.
Any clues to returning to a green status light display in my Airport Utility dialogue box?I had the same problem, ended up just resetting the cable modem and Airport by unplugging both and letting them boot up again. The green light is back and it is still running with the old firmware.

Trying to upgrade free Mac OSX Lion
I have a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to upgrade the free Mac OSX Lion. I have followed the link on the box, filled in the various steps etc.
I keep on receiving an email requesting me to validate my email address and when I follow the link it either goes to a claim reference or back to the uptodate start page. I have not received an App Code via email and being in South Africa I am battling to find support for this issue.

I tried to upgrade my Photoshop 11 to 13, but it dosen´t work. I could install the Photoshop 13, but I can`t open it.
Hi Werner,
Since you were able to successfully install PS13, can you please suggest what is happening when you are trying to open the Product? Are you getting a splash screen or is it not even giving that? Try to disable the graphics card & Switching back to the On board graphics and try again.
Cheers,

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes. -
HI, SO I BOUGHT MOUNTAIN LION ON MY MACBOOK PRO TRYING TO UPGRADE FROM SNOW LEOPARD, AND WHILE TRYING TO REINSTALL THE OS SETUP AS IT SHOWED IT COULDNT BE VERIFIED, I CROSSED OUT MOUNTAIN LION FROM MY PURCHASES, ITS NOW GONE, DO I HAVE TO BUY IT AGAIN?
Please google search for "Mountain Lion disk crash" before upgrading you mac pro. You might need to replace you Mac hard drive after the upgrade.So many people had the same problems including me.
Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem. -
I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now. I've also installed the 10.5.8 combo update but that didn't help it. I've tried restarting the macbook with the disc in, holding c, all that. Why won't this work?!
Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

I am trying to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard. When I insert the disk and install starts, it states "This disk is used for Time Machine backups" and Mac OSX can't be installed. Does anyone know how to correct this (since Tiger doesn't have Time Machine)?

I have a MacBook running OS X v10.6.8 and I'm trying to upgrade to Mouton Lion but I can"t download it from the app store. It says I need a intel core duo which i have. does anyone know whats happening here?
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
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
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 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
If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications. -

Snow Leopard Update. I bought the updated but my computer - a MacBook Pro - rejects the disc befoe anything appears on the desktop. I am trying tp upgrade from Leopard to Lion. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
ThanksYou need to check to see if your machine can handle Lion, it needs 4GB and a Intel Core 2 Duo or better.
Download the free MacTracker and see more specifics of everything.
http://mactracker.ca/
Next, you must realize that your Rosetta PPC based programs will not operate under Lion, likely you will have to buy all new programs.
If you machine is dated, a lot of the trackpad gesture features you won't have.
Check the source of all your third party sofftware and hardware drivers for scanners, all-in-one's and the like to make sure they work or there are updates, or upgrades available and how much.

IDEALLY, it's best to backup files and then "fresh install" Snow Leopard clean, then upgrade to Lion.
Also you should make a option bootable clone of Snow Leopard on a external drive, this will allow you to return if something doesn't work.
You can learn all of this and more at my exhaustive post here, enjoy.
