Trying to update my mums mac os x 10.4.11
What would be the best option?
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
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 Mavericks 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.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

hi guys i have 2 ? 1 my daughters iphone is trying to update on my mac cant get it off help please ,,, 2 i have an old apple id and when i try to up date it keeps looking for the password how do i delete this old apple id help
Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine. -
pl let me know as i have already purchased docs to go for my iPad when i tried to update from my mac they deducted 1$ why
Did you add or change your credit card details when downloading it ? If so then it's probably a store holding charge which should disappear within the a few days (though as it's now the weekend it may take a day or two longer) : store holding charges.

Getting error code U44M1I11 when trying to update Photoshop on Mac
Hi all,
I'm trying to update Photoshop in my Mac running OS 10.9.5, and I'm getting the following error in the error log:
Photoshop Camera Raw 8.7.1(CC)
Another instance of deployment is already running. Error Code: U44M1I11
Adobe Photoshop 2014.2.2
Another instance of deployment is already running. Error Code: U44M1I11
It doesn't matter if if use Cloud updater, or the Photoshop updater. I've rebooted my machine and have no other things running when I'm doing the update. I've also uninstalled Photoshop completely and started a fresh install, but the update still fails with the same errors in the error log. I've also tried updating one component at a time, i.e., Camera Raw or Photoshop - and I get the same error, but this time, only for the component I've tried to update.
Any ideas on how I can get past this and update Photoshop?
Thanks!

I saw Brett Terpstra's answer in his quickTip fixing the other account issue in the mac app store issue and followed those directions and still have this issue. I have only one apple ID and still can't update the basics such as Iphoto...
Hmmm, no other Apple devices?

Hello everyone!
This morning I was trying to update my MacBook Pro to the updated version (not sure which one it was) and it took like 13 minutes to update. Unfortunately, when the update finished, a pop up message came up commenting that there was an "error while installing" the updated version. I'm not sure if there's anything bad to my computer because pretty much my macbook pro had never experienced any tragic events before. I assume it was due to the new version that it was updated to.
However, I went to the apple store and they tried fixing the error. They rebooted the computer again after they had disconected a device to my computer but the same screen came up! (It was the apple logo with some weird computer codes I did not understand. They told me that it might be the harddrive and they were not sure if the files could be saved. (I really don't know how to back up my files because they mentioned if I had backed up my files but I dont think I ever played with backing up files so i guess not.) They told me if I had an external drive but I didn't so Im assuming I still have hope on the files that are still on the computer.
Can anyone explain exactly what the problem is? Also, is there any chance that my files cannot be recovered? Should I take an external drive when I go again to the apple store so they can try to save my files?
Thank you very much!!Can anyone explain exactly what the problem is?

Not w/o knowing what you updated! Never install anything on your comp unless you know what it is you're installing & what it does.
(I really don't know how to back up my files because they mentioned if I had backed up my files but I dont think I ever played with backing up files so i guess not.)

is there any chance that my files cannot be recovered?
YUP! Especially if you have no backups.

If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it. -

Hello,
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...

There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

I am trying to update CS5 on my Mac and I keep getting an error message
I am trying to update CS5 on my Mac and it continues to say: " There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later." I have restarted my computer a few times and tried downloading again yet have continued to get the same response. Can anyone help? Here are the updates that are problematic:
Adobe After Effects CS5 10.0.2 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
Adobe Bridge CS5 4.0.5 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.

There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.

Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Photoshop CS5
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.
Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 Update
There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later.With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I am trying to update my version of Firefox on my Mac.
I am trying to update Firefox on my Mac. I am running OSX 10.5.8, but the website is telling me the latest version does not support my operating system. I downloaded it anyway, and it doesn't work. I have deleted all version of Firefox from my computer, but I would really like to use it again.
Can you help?
thanks!
MeganYou need an Intel Mac to be able to use Firefox 4 and later versions.
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0 & 5.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

Or stick with Firefox 3.6 - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -
I am trying to update my sons generation 4 iPod…i do know that there is a way to update his iPod to iOS 6.I do have a Mac Desktop.Could someone please help me ??!! Is there a way to hook it up to my Mac Desktop and update?
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
that system.
Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
i am a new mac user and tried to update my firefox but now i have multiple foxes and a half fox fix something? how do i get it all together in one and be sure i have current version on only?
Hi there
I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
Good luck -
I added apps by syncing with a Mac. It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account. How do I change this? It only happens when I try to update apps
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
If they were purchased from your husbands account, then they will have to update using that account. -
