Upgrade problem iMac

I bought my iMac in 2007. It was 'Tiger'. I later upgraded to 'Panther' 10.6.8. I want to install Maverick but it says it can't install this on my computer. Why? Checking the requirements, it says 10.6.8 is fine. I want to access iCloud so I can pair the computer with my new iPad Air. I am also not able to install a wireless keyboard. Help, please.

10.6.8 is Snow Leopard. Panther is 10.3.
Respecting to OS X Mavericks, it requires a Mid 2007 or newer iMac. From what you say, it looks like you have got a Late 2006 iMac, but you can check this in  > About this Mac > More Info, and looking at the model identifier. You can install OS X Mavericks if your model identifier is "iMac7,1" or higher.
This means you can't use iCloud on your Mac unless you already have got an iCloud account (you should have one if you have got an iPad Air). You can still set up some iCloud services > http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.

Care to share which latest software you installed?

Correct. Applications designed to run on the old PPC Macs (which Apple stopped making in 2005) cannot run on Mountain Lion.

10.6.8 Upgrade Problems with Google Display Error post install

Hi -- I just upgraded my IMac to 10.6.8 in anctipation of migrating to Mountain Lion later this week.   While the installation went very smoothly, it seems I am having a problem with the Google display.    When I open Google, the search box has no lines around it and when I enter the box, it jumps to the Google search in the menu bar, and I can't read what I'm typing.
I've tried a multitude of other sites where there are search boxes, log in boxes, etc, but I am only having problems with Google.   Any thoughts?

boy these forums really help you out. having similar issue and no one seems to have a clue why 10.6.8 screws everything up. I did notice the active directory plugin version changed from 6.5 to 6.5.1. They did something.

Memory Upgrade: 27" iMac, late 2009

Hey everyone,
Quite late to the game, but definitely should upgrade my imac's memory from the standard 4gb - However my mac doesn't show up in the shopping aides some of the manufacturers have on their homepages, so the subject is a bit shady.
Am I still able to track down the working hardware for this particular computer?
If so, any suggestions? Would these do?
Thanks!

I also have a late 2009 27" iMac installed 16 gigs of crucial memory, I ordered the mid 27" iMac memory running at Speed: 1333 MHz been running them without a problem for two an half years.
Here is the link. http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-memory-for/Apple/imac-2*8ghz-intel-quad -core-i5-%2827-inch---ddr3%29-mid-2010
I have Yosemite install running smooth with no issue. Now I'm waiting for Kodak printer driver update.

After upgrading to Imac updating Iphone and Ipad I can no longer sync in Itunes

I have newly upgraded to IMac and love it! I also traded in my IPad to IPad Air and updated my IPhone from 4S to 5C. When I was using a Windows PC I had all my gadgets synced to ITunes (this includes a MacBook Pro and two IPods, Yes I'm hooked). Now I can no longer sync any of my gadgets to ITunes on the new IMac.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

I upgraded my imac to OS Mountain Lion and now the Seagate Goflex external HDD is not recognised

I upgraded the iMac to Mountain Lion and it does not recognize the Seagate Goflex External HDD that I was working from earlier. I do not want to buy a special program since the Goflex HDD was working on both mac and Windows without any problems before the upgrade. The Goflex HDD is still working on my Macbook pro so there is no problem in the HDD. Is there something that needs to be activated... Please help

A bit more info for those of you reading this.... the problem seemed to be in iTunes. For each connected device , if I clicked on the Photo option I could no longer select the second radio button for limiting the photos by Events, Albums, etc. It was an all or nothing deal. But selecting all would cause the error.
So I had read the other forum posts about the "&" symbol being the cause of the problem. I went through iPhoto and made all of the changes. It did not work. I then looked at iTunes, using the AlbumData2.xml file listed in the other forums as a reference. I found one album with the "&". I edited that one. Still would not work. So then I spent 3 hours on the phone with AppleCare last week. I talked with 4 different advisors. None of them had heard about the "&" error from the forums. We tried everything in iPhoto including repair and rebuild. Finally we created a whole new library and reimported my master photos from my original one. Using this option would allow me to now check off that radio button in iTunes. BUT... I now lost all of my albums and events and would need to rebuid them. I was not happy. They agreed and we set up time to talk this week.
So today I talked with AppleCare again. They now have more info and said the problem has to do with iTunes and the new iPhoto 9.4. It does not like the "&" symbol anywhere in either iPhoto or iTunes. So they now have me going through everything in my iTunes library. Genre is OK but any other item cannot have " & ". I have several dozen to edit and will do it over the weekend and then restore my original iPhoto Library and see if I can finally get it all to sync. I will let you know how I make out, but apparently you need to eliminate " & " from every entry in iTunes and iPhoto.
Quality control is not up to par with Apple these days.

I am trying to Upgrade my iMac running 10.6 to the latest OSX Combo upgrade... however on restart my iMAC 'panics' - crashes?... i have seen some discussion on this but no resolution so far that works for me... any ideas?

Hi all,
This is proving somewhat frustrating. End goal is to upgrade the iMAC to Lion. However, in order to use the downloaded version of Lion Install package, i have first to upgrade my iMAC from OSX 10.6 (i.e. I need at least 10,7 to get access to the APP store).
However, whenever I have tried to upgrade, then on restart the machine 'panics'.
At first I thought it was some form of malware and erased and repartioned the disk and then re-installed. However, this did not solve the problem.
Is there a problem with post 10.6 upgrades ?
best regards and thanks to anyone who might offer suggetsions to help.
Buck.

Hi Paul,
I am using Snow Leopard 10.6 (re-installing as we speak). on an iMac.
Have verified startup disk as well as verified permissions.
Have cleared the PRAM (using option-command-P-R keys and waiting for the chimes).
Only peripherals are an apple usb keyboard and an apple usb mouse connected via keyboard usb adapter.
Machine runs fine at 10.6
problem only occurs when i try to reboot after installing the Combo upgrade.
p.s. i also have a MACBook Pro and have had no similar issues with that. So am guessing it is somethign related specifically to iMac hardware/firmware ?
ciao, Buck.

Just upgraded my iMac to OS x snow leopard. trouble now with my printer. I've disconnected and reconnected. Does not seem to recognize printer. It is listed as the default printer

just upgraded my iMac to OS x snow leopard. Now I have another problem. Printer not working. I've unplugged and replugged, nothing happens
HELP
thanks in advance

Go to the website for your printer manufacturer and check if there are SL compatible drivers available for your model. This is not an unusual issue, and if the printer's not too old, the updated drivers should be there.
If you can't find one on the manufacturer's site, try Apple Support Downloads and look back through the updates in there; Apple has issued generic updates for a number of printers since SL's release, so you may find one that way.
After installing the new drivers you'll need to setup the printer again.
