Upgrade OS X 10.5.8 to X10.7
My computer Mac Book Pro bought 4 years
I've to upgrade OS X 10.5.8 to OS X 10.7
(as required by Itunes to synchronize then my Iphone and IPad.)
I can't find this in updates proposed by Apple.
In my computer I have automatically the last versions installed, and the version 10.7 in not proposed if I manage preferences by hand.
It seems that I've to force the installation.
Does somebody knows how to fix it ?
Which model do you have? If "4 years", can I assume a 2008 model? Early or late 2008? Th eonly real choice you have is to first upgrade to Snow Leopard (available from the online Apple Store for $20 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard) and then purchase Mountain Lion (also $20 - available from the App Store).
There's no longer an upgrade path to Lion - just to Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard may work for you - I don't have an iDevice so I know nothing about which version of iTunes is required - but if you do go the Mountain Lion route, make sure that all of your applications will be compatible first - see the Roaring Apps website.
Good luck,
Clinton

Can't find a printer driver for LaserWriter Select 360?
My older G4, which I just upgraded from OS 9.2 to OS X10.3.9 (I was reluctant to leave PageMaker), doesn't have a printer driver for my Apple LaserWriter Select 360. It finds my Epson 2200 with no problems. I've tried two shareware programs. The first seemed to say that Apple Printer Drivers were missing and that it had reinstalled them (but I don't remember the name. I found it in one of the threads here). But there was no sign of the LaserWriter when I tried to print. The second program I tried was Pacifist, figuring I could just reinstall that one printer driver from the Panther disks. But I couldn't see it anywhere though there was two Epsons, Hewlitt Packard and others. I tried the Apple website, but had no luck. I know there is one because two other computers we have in OS Xs can recognize the printer. Is there a driver out there I can download or is there someway I can get it off the other computer I have that is in 10.3.9? It's really frustrating to have to transfer the regular stuff I want to print to another computer.
Thanks!! Jane
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)We're halfway there...maybe! The printer shows up on the list, but when I try to print something (I tried an InDesign file, also a Word one), the computer sends the file and the printer starts, but then puts the job on hold (the green light on the printer never blinks). If I click Start Job, the same thing happens again.
When I looked at Help and found "Setting up to print to an IP Printing network printer," it said to "type the IP address or DNS name for the printer in the Printer Address field." I looked through my "User's Guide" and didn't know what that was. It wouldn't let me "ADD" the printer without one so first I typed in the whole name of the printer that was on the list below. Then it let me ADD, but not print. Then I tried it again with the word "home." Same thing, it added the printer but wouldn't let me print.
One other question I had was when I got to the Add Printer, IP Printing, I had to choose a "Printer Type." It was on LPD/LPR so I left it. I didn't know what any of the choices meant. Perhaps that was wrong.
Now that the LaserWriter is on the list, can we make it print?
Thanks so much, Jane -
Safari acting up & no internet plug-in
How come Safari is acting up this evening? Yahoo says that I need a Internet Plug-in. Help.
I hope that this goes to Limnos.
I will tell you that I have a Power Mac G4 with two hard drives. First one with OS 9.0 and used only for old Adobe software and backups. The second one is for OS X 10.4 with a upgrade of 10.4.11 from Apple. My Processor: Dual 1 GHz Power PC G4; 2MG L3 cache per processor. Startup Disk OX X10.4 with memory 1.5 GR SDRAM. I have to have two hard drives as the old Adobe software: Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Canvas will not go onto OS X 10.4. The upgrades to these will go onto OS X10.4.
My mac does not have problems with starting up. It starts fine. The problem is that I can't seem to get Adobe Flash Player to work. It loads on fine but doesn't work at all. And now Safari has kidded me off of the internet (4) four times this evening. There was 14 downloads from Apple between the dates 1/30/2012 - 2/2/2012. That was great. But Safari is giving me a lot of trouble. I need to know what I can do to get the Internet Plug-in on and to stop Safari kicking me off of the internet.
I will have to call Adobe and ask them for an older version of Flash Player and go the way to the back door to get the new Flash Player to work. If this doesn't work then I will have to try to hire an old mac person to help me. I really don't want to do this as they will do things their way and chances are they won't know what to do. Please Limnos will you help me???
Gailfromlancaster, CA..Hi, I'd love to see Limnos here too, but he gas a problem with his G4 right now & only has a borrowed W7 PC at the moment.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/865/cpsid_86551.html#prob1=uninst,os=m10.6,
Download this if you haven't...
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp10.1.102.6 4_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip
Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.
Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install... they don't make it easy!
Or I put up the smaller ones here...

The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

X10 not connecting to mobile data networks after upgrade to Android 2.3
My X10 does not connect to GPRS / EDGE / 3G / HSDPA after the upgrade to 2.3. Wifi is no problem, though.
I used the SIM card in another X10 with Android 2.1, no problem, got an HSDPA connection. And yes, all the boxes are checked: "Data Enabled" and "Data Roaming";
I had problems before the upgrade to connect to data networks when roaming, but never in my home network. Now, it doesn't seem to work at all.
Any advice?go to settings -> sony ericsson -> data download
or
settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> access point names -> MENU -> add New -> enter the APN info -> MENU -> Save

iWeb 'disappeared' from my iMac after upgrading to OS X10.8 - any ideas? tkx
Did you do an erase and install of Mt Lion? In any case you'll have to reinstall iWeb from its original source. Did iWeb come with your computer? If so you should have a couple of disks that came with your Mac and one of them will have the Bundled Software Install package on it. Like one of these:
Be sure to update iWeb to the latest and last version, 3.0.4, from Apple Downloads web page.

my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD
I think not. You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific. So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.
Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection. It just might be something not too drastic. -
I need to upgrade my first generation Macbook Air 1,1 to Lion OS x10. I need to install other software that requires 10.7 also a java update that requires 10.7. I am currently on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and my macbook Air 1.1 will not go up to Mountain Lion. The Lion software update 10.7 is no longer available from the store or downloads.
Where do I get this?
It was only released a couple of months ago.
I really feel disinfranchised already by not being able to upgrade and keep up with other software needs but to not allow me to update to my full capacity is really ridiculous.@Jennacide wrote:

After upgrade to OS X10.6.7 Mail doesn't display pix. Missing plug-in instead. Already reset Java to default.
Did not find any other suggestion online.
What's happening?Hi
Is it not displaying any type of picture attachment (JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG)? Is it any message that you view, from any sender?
How did you reset Java? You may want to clear the caches as well. Empty ~/Library/Caches & /Library/Caches/.

I want to upgrad from OS X10.5.8 to 10.6.8 or higher, but my DVD drive is not working. Is there the possibility to buy an online Update?
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 Mountain Lion 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.
If your hardware supports more recent versions then:
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. 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 by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. 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. -

I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications
I've upgraded to OS X10.8.2 but I can't open power pc files and applications
Note that there's no such thing as "PowerPC files." PowerPC applications won't work on OS X 10.7 or higher, but the files created by those apps can still be opened if there is an updated version of that app. For example, if you have MS Office 2004, you cannot open any of those Office apps, and thus cannot open any of your Office documents. However, if you upgrade to Office 2011, or some other substitute (such as Apple's iWork suite or the free OpenOffice or LibreOffice), you will be able to open those documents again just fine.

Hi
Ive benn given as imac G5 running os x10.5.8, is it posible to upgrade it ? if so is it worth doing so ?
thanksCheck how much memory you have.
You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.
Example:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,1

Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 600 MHz

Run activity monitor & see if you need more memory.

Upgraded from LR4 to LR5.7. Apparently successful download on iMac27" 5K running OS X10.2. Collections that were clear in LR4 appear badly blurred when opened in LR5.7. What's wrong?
Thanks, everyone, for your suggestions.
John: I back up the catalogue (and optimize/check its integrity) every time I quit Lightroom - which is why excluding it from Time Machine isn't the end of the world. I did rename the catalogue early on in my troubleshooting process - as you say, I didn't like the fact I felt out of control of it.
I tried synchronizing a folder that had some flags: when I'd done there were three flags in the folder. (I have unclicked - and clicked and then unclicked - the 'unsaved metadata' checkbox in View Options: as I say, Lightroom shouldn't be displaying these flags at all.)
Rob: Thanks for understanding why I'm fretting! I've checked my XMP sidecars, as you suggest, and they have read and write privileges. I then checked the last-modified date on the XMPs that came up with flags after I'd synchronized that folder. One of them displayed the time I'd just synchronized the folder (it's one I haven't worked on apart from applying a blanket preset in LR2, and then a blanket update to PV2012 in LR4, as I've done to all the images I haven't yet worked on individually); the other two showed the time (I presume) I worked on them yesterday. I selected these three and applied command-S: they then showed, correctly, that they'd been modified a minute before. So far, that folder's now flag-free. (As I said in my original post, the flags sometimes do seem to vanish if I save enough times - and they're unpredictable, not necessarily appearing on the same images in a collection or folder as before I do I group save/clear conflict.)
Mollysnoot: I don't see how the Mac OS would be doing this (although who knows - I'm not a software expert). I don't have any other programs open that can modify images. And since these flags can reappear instantly when I've dealt with the conflict - before I've had time to take a breath, even - I don't think they represent any actual modifications. -
I upgraded to OS X10.9.4 and now my Cannon MX 860 scanner will not work. The printer works. I downloaded the new driver and still no luck. Please help!
Open Print & Scan preferences. Select the printer in the sidebar list and click on the Delete [-] button. CTRL- or RIGHT-click in the sidebar area and select Reset Print System from the context menu. Re-Add the printer by clicking on the Add [+] button, select your printer from the little browser that opens, select the proper driver if it isn't set automatically, then click on the Add button. See if it now works.
Oh, be sure you install the new driver you downloaded.
BTW, you don't have a PowerMac as shown in your profile. PowerMacs were tower machines that ran PPC processors, not Intel processors. You really should correct that information in your profile.
