Update from OS X 10.5.8 to get on the cloud  What do I do??

I am running OS X 10.5.8   what and how do I update so I can get on the cloud??

You will need to go to a minimum level of 10.7 (Lion) to use the iCloud.
Before buying anything you should first make sure your machine will accept the upgrade you have in mind.
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard (essential to go on to Lion)     Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
For Lion, the minimum specs are …      OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
Download code to be bought from Apple.
When upgrading past Snow Leopard.
Start by buying the Snow Leopard retail disc 10.6.3, then update to 10.6.8 via the combo updater and run software update.

  • Attempting to update from 10.1 to 10.4 I get this msg: "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi".

    Attempting to update from 10.1 to 10.4 I get this msg:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package “iTunes.msi”. ?
    I locate the file in "Program Files\iTunes" and change the path.  I then get this: 
    "The file ’C:\Program Files\iTunes is not a valid installation package for the product iTunes. Try to find the installation package ‘ iTunes.msi ’ in a folder from which you can install iTunes."
    What folder will work ???

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I updated my 4S iphone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  How do I stop this?

    I updated my 4S iPhone and now I am getting all the texts from another iPhone on my plan.  What do I need to do?

    I'm not completely clear on the GSM / LTE network frequencies in US vs Argentina, but I do know that cross-compatibility can be an issue when buying from one country and using in another. Apple products in particular have this problem. What this sounds like to me is that the phone is not compatible with Argentinian networks; or your friend had an AT&T phone and jail-broke it. This is against the end user licensing agreement, and when the phone is next updated is likely to jam the phone.
    Sorry but you lost your money.

  • After Alcatel OS update from v1.0.1 to v1.1.0.0, the phone doesn`t show phonebook names for incoming/missing calls!

    Hi! I have very unpleasant problem with my phones after legal OS update! After Alcatel OT Fire OS update from v1.0.1 to v1.1.0.0, the phone stops to show contacts names and pics for incoming calls and names for missing calls from phonebook. Before update, everything worked just fine! People from Telenor Serbia obviously hadn`t solution for this problem. They send me a request to send them a phones (yes two phones with same problem), but I got a phones back with unsolved problem! Also in the datas about phone, OS, e.t.c, the phone number doesn`t exist any more, just blank field. If means something, the phones are with different hardware revisions, 11 and 12! Any solution for this problem?! Thanks!

    Hello,
    After reading the information provided about your issue I suggest a soft reset of the phone.
    #Take the back cover of the phone off.
    #Take the battery out.
    #Take the SIM card and microSD card out (if applicable).
    #Wait 10 seconds.
    #Put the SIM card and microSD card back in (if applicable).
    #Put the battery back in.
    #Put the back cover back on.
    #Turn the device on.
    #Check if the issue you were having is still present.
    Please report back to us if this solved your problem!
    Thank you

  • I don't have very much space left on my iCloud backup. I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone?

    I had a previous iPhone, my current iPhone and my iPad that are all connected to one cloud. Can I delete the backup from my previous iPhone? Will it delete in the cloud AND on the phone? or does it just delete from iCloud? or does it just delete from the phone? Someone please help!

    You can delete the backup without any problem. Only the backup will be deleted from iCloud and nothing else will be deleted, so you can do it without worrying about losing data on iCloud or your devices

    Perhaps the reason that your username and password are not recognised is because you have caps lock on.

    Export the information to your Desktop. Stop syncing in iCloud, which should give you the 'On My Mac' option. Then import the information.

  • When I try to update from 3.6.18 to 5.0, get message that no updats are available.

    See above

    Using Windows Vista Home Premium and Firefox 3.6.18 on the computer in question. When I click on the check for updates I get message that no updates are available. Why is not 5.0 showing as an available update, since 5.01 is not needed for windows? When I converted from 3.6.18 to 5.0 a couple or so weeks ago it let me update on my other computer using Vista Home Premium. Why is Firefox making it harder to update now??? Where can I get 5.0 , since 5.o1 is not necessary for my windows computer??? I am a long time user of Firefox and it is getting more complicated, rather than easier to use. As for speed cannot see any difference than 3.6.18, except that 3.6.18 appears to be a litter faster.

  • Updating from trial to Full version, can't get rid of Trial Overlay on the Video.

    Hey guys,
    I just bought the Premier Elements 11 full version and installed it. I had made a video on the trial, and was hoping that when I opened that in the full version, the overlay that says "Created with Adobe Premiere Elements" that hangs out there for the whole video would disappear. Is that not the case?? Is there anything I can do to the file what will get rid of that...or do I simply have to re-make my video??
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Thanks for the follow up information on what you observed trying to get rid of the Premiere Elements 10 tryout watermark in the project.prel from that 10 version in the purchased Premiere Elements 11. You say that the watermark was not removed automatically by the purchased Premiere Elements 11. I had never heard "automatic" to be the case until I tried this myself with Premiere Elements 11, not 10, tryout and then the purchased Premiere Elements 11. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the Premiere Elements 10 tryout to make a comparative test between
    Premiere Elements 10 tryout
    Premiere Elements 11 purchased
    vs
    Premiere Elements 11 tryout
    Premiere Elements 11 purchased
    But I have seen my observation verified independantly by at least one other.
    But there are a lots of things here that SG and Adobe need to help us clarify.
    a. Can you really remove the watermark from the Timeline once exported as a file (.mov, .avi, etc) from the tryout or is he and Adobe referring to removing the watermark on files still within the project.prel file.
    b. Classically SG has said to go Timeline Menu/Deleted All Rendered Files as the route in the project.prel of a purchased version to get rid of the watermarked video still within the project.prel from the tryout. The Rendered files are .avi files for SD project and .mpeg for HD project. It is my understanding that there is a fundamental difference between "Rendered Files" and "Conformed Video" files, the latter typically having the file extension of .mcdb. So, when SG says
    "You delete the Media Cache by going to the Preferences (under the Edit menu on a PC) and, on the Media page, clicking the Clean button.
    That should get rid of all of your render files -- and the watermarked video along with them."
    I would ask him to revisit that statement. If you are doing anything with that directive, you are deleting conformed video files that are found in Local Disk C\Users\owner\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\Media Cache Database Folder. That information is clearly available in the Media Cache Database dialog in that Common Folder. The "Rendered Files" are still alive and well with their companion .xmp files in the Adobe Folder (default Documents\Adobe\Premiere Elements). This is true for Premiere Elements 11 and 10 Windows 7 64 bit.
    I do not see where the question that started this thread has really been answered. And the latest SG comment forces to ask for a clarification on that.
    We will be watching for your results.

  • When I try to open the Iphoto it keeps on asking for the software update but when I click on the software update tab, it says that all updates are up to date. I still cant open the Iphoto, what should I do?

    How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
    If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
    Otherwise you update via Softare Update
    If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
    If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

  • HT3819 Can I import my music from one iTunes account to another or play on the cloud somehow?

    Can I play or import songs from my old account to my new iTunes account or play them somehow on the cloud?

    songs are just files if you copy the files and add them to itunes you can play them
    you can add them to itunes by drag and drop or from add to lib in the menu
    but your music files will be tagged with your info so if people give them to others the will still have the personal info of the buyer
