Trying to download Lion, it says it needs 2GB free space, I have 26 GB free space. Now what?
I have been trying to download Lion from the App Store on my 17 inch iMac. While my system says I have 26.36 GB available, a messages says"We could not complete your purchase Mac OS x 10.7 requires at least 2 GB of memory.
Any ideas? They're not talking RAM are they? As I have only 1GB on this one.
Yes you need 2GB of RAM!!

I have just opened my brand new Macbook Pro and I'm a first time mac user. I have tried to download flash to enable me to watch youtube clips, but on trying to download it, it says I need to close Safari but after doing so, it still won't respond. Any tips? Help?
Actually you need to quit Safari which is different from closing. With Safari open go the menu bar for Safari/Quit Safari.

I cannot open any documents in InDesign after downloading Yosemite. Says I need Java 6. I have Java 8 and still doesn't open.
It may seem strange indeed, but yes, you have to ALSO install the older version 6 for Apple's system; other applications will use your Java (which I believe is now even 9) and others will use that version 6.
Download directly from Apple here:

i bought an imac today, wen i am browsing/downloading, it keeps asking me to restart using the start button(forcefully). please help me rectify the problem..thanks
As others have noted, this is a classic kernel panic (KP) and should happen with a new machine. AppleCare's Express Lane. Do note that if you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.
FWIW, see

I'm trying to download Lion, but it says it's waiting what do I do?
I'm trying to download Lion, but it says it's waiting what do I do?
I had several attempts, and finally left it over night. There seems to be no on-screen notification of what is going on, so one is blind. Eventually I went to iTunes App Shop, which told me that it had downloaded. I found an installation window (I don't know how) and started the installation, but it stopped; this happened twice. Finally it was installed and I was instructed to restart the machine.
It seems that everythings is undercover now! We just need a bit more patience and a lot more faith. -
I am trying to purchase os x lion from app store. Getting a response saying I need 2GB memory available but I have at least 40GB free space??
Memory = Ram, the 40G free space you are referring to is hard drive storage space available, 2 very different things.
In order to run Lion you MUST have at least a Core 2 Duo processor and 2G of Ram, to find out whether you qualify (and it seems as though you don't) go to
Apple>About this Mac: you will be able to see the processor type and Ram installed thus
If you have less than 2G of Ram you can install more, if however you have a Core Duo (instead of Core 2 Duo) you can not run Lion. -
I just tried to download a free sample of a magazine and received a message saying I need to free up space. The app is newsstand supported and I subscribe to 2 other magazines with a sum total of 3 issues. What am I doing wrong here. Do I need to add more memory space allotted to newsstand, and if so, how? Many thanks.
The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I am trying to download lion with the thumb drive how do i back up my files is time machine good enough or must i transfer everything to my hard drive
A erase of the drive or boot partition is not always necessary.
Flashing question mark at boot could be a easy fix, sometimes it's the firmware that simply forgot what bootable volume to boot from.
Try holding the Option key down while booting the machine, a choice of bootable options appears, select your OS X and boot up.
When you get in, head to System Preferences > Startup disk and set it again new. This will tell the firmware what to boot from. Test it to see.
Now if you don't have a selection of bootable options, it could be that the drive is dead, or OS X is erased or corrupted so it can't boot.
You'll have to run through this list of fixes to see what's going on, if you need a hardware fix or what, I've also included links if you can't fix it and need to recover your data etc.
(If it's not remmebering your boot selection then also run through the list to reset things.)

Hi- I am trying to download music from my computer to my ipod. I have an itunes account and the music is on the computer but it won't go to ipod, it keeps telling me I need to download an upgrade but the upgrade does not complete itself and after like 2 hours displays an error sign. How do I fix this so I can get the music to my ipod. Both ipod and computer(toshiba, windows 7) are brand new. Help!! I am not technologically smart!
I suspect that you are saying that you can't download/install the latest version of iTunes.
All I can say is try removing and reinstalling the Apple software using the following:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
If you have further problems with installing Itunes I suggest you post in the iTunes forum since you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem. Also report the wording of any error messages. What they say is importent on resolving them. -
Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.
Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

Been trying to download Lion from the App Store. It saks for login, I login in and it starts install. After about 13 hours it finishes download then asks for login again. After login, it starts installing again. It never shows installed. This is the third time I am doing this. Am I doing something wrong?
Sorry, my bad, we have the iMac G5 10.6.8. I just got home and the message said an error occurred and was unable to download. Am I doing something wrong or is there something I need to do.
