Upgrading OS software 3.1.3 update, neccesary or not?
I recenty read on an apple news that there was a new update called"3.1.3". I been looking for information about the new software update of the 3.1.3, apple says it provides a few glitch fixes on the software on both iPod touch/iPhone. As far as I'm concerned the software update is pretty much related to the Iphone but not much for the iPod touch. But my question is: Does that software update provides any new feature to the iPod touch that I might need to upgrade my software to the 3.1.3 ?

It also appears to have addressed some wifi issues as I now am seeing signals I never did before and it appears more stable.
Highlander, that seems to that a very important reason to upgrade the software from 3.1.2 to the newer version. I have been noticing a lot of wifi signal drops, sometimes my iPod catch a signal then a minutes later it doesn't even detect no wifi signal. Another thing some crash of my apps have been happening lately, but I don't think it might be some kind of an issue with the software. I might have to upgrade to see if I see some of the problems that apple fixed with the new software 3.1.3.

Why would you not always get the latest software available?
Thanks for clearing a few things about the software 3.1.3 bugs fixing issue. Well, to answer that question is that in my opinion is not really worth upgrading simply no features has been added and I'm still waiting to see if the upcoming rumors of a newer software 3.2. You probably gonna think is pure speculation and is not a concrete notion to think of a software that it hasn't been released yet. But I'm convinced that specially if one look into the ipad beta software" iPhone SDK 3.2 beta". Maybe when the ipad comes into the market for sale( around march)we will see something worth downloading.

iPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update
I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

So my home computer decided to quit... I am trying to start using my work computer more now. I have itunes with a library of only 150 songs. My iphone has over 550 songs. Even after I sync my phone to my new computer and mark items purchased to be sync it doesn't increase on itunes. I know I've purchased songs on my iphone so that is my first problem...
Next, at home I copied CDs onto itunes which I sync'd onto my iphone. Am I right that I will lose all these songs now when I update my software?
To summarize:
I have no way to back up songs that were not purchased on itunes?
How do I sync my iphone purchases into itunes correctly (since it isn't working now)
Will I lose content from my iphone, if it doesn't show up on itunes before I update my software to 5.0?
Am I making sense?iOS 6.1.3 Software Update
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Since your updating from iOS 4 to iOS 6, you will most likely lose your songs, but if songs were purchased from iTunes, you can try this:
Downloading past purchases from App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
You can redownload from iTunes on your iTouch, if running iOS 5 or better. -
I've been trying to update my version of Itunes for ages now and I keep getting an error message. When I get the automatic alerts for the upgrade this also won't work or the upgrade to Quicktime & I'm getting a bit miffed now. I've bought an iphone and as I have an old version of itunes I can't download my music to it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Do I have to upgrade my software when updating from 10.3.9 to Tiger?
I have pretty much the latest versions of all my software, as far as 10.3.9, anyhow. Mostly, I used Adobe and Macromedia programs, and I use Eudora (I have the latest one- 6.2 - I know they've stopped updating it.)
Also, I still use my Classic environment fairly often... for certain reasons I want to be able to continue using a few old items on this computer. At some point, I'll get another Mac with all the latest and greatest, but this one I need to keep and use the way it is.
The reason I'd put Tiger on it, is because so many things these days need at least 10.4 to run. Including the very latest upgrades for my Adobe software. I go back and forth on whether the possible disrupiton is worth gaining the ability to use more currently available "stuff" that needs 10.4+.
So... I can't seem to find any specifically notes stating that my system 9 software will be okay and run all right in tiger's classic environment, nor whether the programs I use, e.g. Adobe Creative Studio and the DreamWeaver Studio group, will be okay with this update. I hope, too, that things like Eudora, PopChar, Suitcase, etc, will be all right. I will probably update some programs gradually, but am hoping I won't actually HAVE to just because of installing 10.4.
I'll clone my hard drive etc, before doing it, of course...
But, anyway, does anyone have experience of making this change this way, maybe upgrading their software later but not having to do it right away?Welcome to Apple Discussions.
It is worth doing the upgrade to Tiger. Most or perhaps all your Classic applications will work OK. I still have Tiger & classic works well. You will need the appropriate Tiger retail installation dvd. After installation do all the upgrades. I suggest if the Tiger version you get is less than 10.4.11 that you download the Combo 10.4.11 update from Apple downloads. Then use Software Update to check for any other updates needed. You should run Disk utility after each upgrade and correct permissions.

Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked
Yes.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
Click First Aid.
If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
Click Repair Disk.
If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced -

Currently using version 3.6.27 as the updated versions are not compatible with my low vision software called Zoomtext. I constantly get Firefox asking me to upgrade. How can I get it to stop asking me to upgrade. (I have tried each upgrade and they are all incompatible with Zoomtext.
Go to '''Options''' window > '''Advanced''' panel > '''Update''' tab > '''Firefox updates '''> click '''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''', click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart it.
see for more info: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel#w_update-tab Options window - Advanced panel - Update tab]
BUT you see the warning : Warning: If you select this option, you will not receive '''critical security updates that may keep you safe online''' unless you frequently do a '''manual check for updates'''.

I bought my iPad off a friend and it is hacked. I can't upgrade the software to iOS 5.1 it says unable to update. And something about me not being eligible. I need help please
If the device is jail broken - and the message is that the iPad is not eligible for the requested build - there are tons of articles on the internet that discuss how to fix the iPad. Use Google.

I want to upgrade the software (currently I have Mac OS X 10.6.4) but when the mac is downloading the new version i get an error message and is not possible get the most updated software: Mac OS X 10.6.8 or either the most recent itunes why?!?!?!
Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection. -
Have 7 mo. old iPhone running 4.3.3 and am wondering if I can upgrade my software. Apps I want to load require minimum of 5.0. Am I out of luck or what? Where do I go to find upgrade if it exists? Yes, I am that dim I guess. Was under impression software could be updated similarly to std. Apple OS practices with other products.

I just updated my itune on my PC and now it doesn't start. There was no error in installing/upgrading the software but once I rebut the computer the icon appeared but it wouldn't start the program. Did I loose all my music and data? How can I fix the problem? Thanks
Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.
