Want to install x mavericks on macbook but don't have apple apps icon in apple icon on top left hand corner of screen

Want to install XMavericks on Mackbook but do not have apple apps store in apple icon on top left hand corner of screen. All information tells me to click on this icon in order to install XMavericks. but I can't. What csn I do? Please help a computer learner. Thank you from Carmel

You would need to find out if your computer could even run Mavericks 10.9 before going through the hoops to get it; first thing would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD install disc, those sell for about $19. Then be sure to backup your system on the computer to an external archive (hard disk drive) then try & do the upgrade to 10.6; and then use Software Update in the system to look for update parts for it, including 10.6.8.
Also a later version of Flash player/plugin and other parts. A newer browser such as Firefox, too, may be an idea if the included Safari is not up to date.
Considerations include enough chip RAM installed, depending on what model MacBook you have this can vary; and enough free-space on the hard disk drive for the system and applications to work correctly; as OS X does use free space or unused capacity as temporary files and virtual memory to supplement installed chip RAM.
You can use a 'serial number lookup service' online to help determine the MacBook build model/year and whatever update or upgrade it may be capable.

Some early models of MacBook (coreduo 1.83, 2.0) have an upper limit on the OS X version they can use, later models with the core2duo may also have a few among their vintage that may not be suitable for Mavericks. There are several users of these who do not go past Snow Leopard if they have no newer applications, since older applications with Rosetta helping them run, won't work in a later system w/o Rosetta.
So there are considerations.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have an old version of Photoshop CS2 which I purchased in discs and want to install on my new computer but don't have the discs can I copy it from my old laptop?

Is there anyway to install my old version of Photoshop CS2 onto my new mac without the discs?

Adobe took down their old Activation servers so you can not activate installing CS2 from your CD. Adobe made available a new download of CS2 that uses their new Activation servers for activation their old CS2 customers can download and install.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro. I have Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro now, and due to my hard drive needing repair I need to boot off of another source, like my flash drive.

Can I purchase Mountain Lion and make a flash drive bootable? I do not want to install it on my Macbook Pro.

Mac OS X has a built-in disk diagnostic and repair program called fsck or file system consistency check. Here’s how to verify and repair your startup disk with fsck. As soon as you hear the startup tone, press and hold Command-S on the keyboard. Keep holding down those keys until you see a black screen with white lettering. This is called “booting into Single User Mode.” As the Mac boots in this mode, the screen reports each step of the process. The line should end in root#. Right after the root# prompt, enter the following: /sbin/fsck -fy
If repairing the disk in single user mode fails, it means one of two things. Either your hard drive itself is failing (a hardware failure), or the directory damage on your hard drive is beyond the capability of the built-in repair procedures in OS X.

I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

Why do you need InDesign CS (that is version 3) or InDesign CS3 (that is Version 5) to install InDesign CS5.5 (it is version 7.5)?
If it is an upgrade and asks you to input your serial of an older version, you have to get an find it. No one will help you here. If you can't find it and if you have not registered it, you are out of luck. You will have to spend money for a new version.

HT1212 im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this

im locked out of my ipod, and the screen isnt responding when i go to swipe to unlock it or when i swipe to turn it off. All of my notifications are there but i cant reply to any of them. My screen is completly unresponsive. But, in the top left hand corner, there is an outline of a box. how do i fix this?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
It sounds like you are in the Elements Organizer that came with your version of Premiere Elements.
That ? in the top left corner of the thumbnail indicates a file that is no longer in the hard drive save location as it was
when a copy of the file was included in the Elements Organizer.
1. Do you know that the file(s) still exist? Could you have moved, deleted, or renamed file/folder involved? Can you go
to the hard drive save location for the file and actually find it there?
If you are working with Photoshop Elements instead of Premiere Elements, you have posted in the wrong forum. In that case, please post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.

I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner. The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. Can I still get it fixed under my warranty? (bought last July)

I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?

No because it was physical damage

Hi guys I have a iPad 2 I recently upgraded it from iOS5 to ios7. Since then it only uses the 8ta network but in the top left hand corner it says no service with 3G next to it how am I able to fix this? Could it be a hardware problem?

Since I upgraded my iPad from iOS5 to ios7 my iPad will only work on one network.
However in the top left hand corner is says no service with 3G next to it.
I took it to Apple istore in clearwater mall and they couldn't help me.
Please advise me on how to sort the problem out.
Kind Regards

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

TS3406 I have a connection in the top left hand corner and can access the internet with and without internet on my iphone 5c but I can't receive and create texts and calls, someone please help have tried everything!

YOu will need to contact your cell phone provider to resolve those issue, those are carrier features.

When switching my iPhone on a message appears in black and white tiny writing on the top left hand corner. It displays the apple sign but won't let me do anything.

When I switched on my iPhone tonight it displayed the apple sign but in the top left hand corner a message appears in tiny writing in black and white and it doesn't let me go any further. I've tried holding both buttons down to reboot but it is still the same when I switch it back on.

Hi I can't read the message displayed as the writing is so tiny and cryptic. It starts with one line of text but continues down the page.

I've forgotten my administrator password and have lost the original install disc for my macbook but I do have the install disc for my imac; can I use the imac install disc to reset the administrator password?

I've forgotten my administrator password for my macbook pro and don't have the original OS X disc; I do have the OS X disc for my iMac. Can I use this to reset the password?

You have nothing to loose by trying it.
I doubt it will boot but try it anyhow.
You will need to contact Apple for replacement install disks.

I want to transfer DW to another laptop but don't have serial anymore

Without serial number it is impossible to install it on another machine. However, if the product is still installed on your old machine then I suggest you should register it with Adobe so that the serial number can be recorded on Adobe servers. To register the product, you need to go to:
Help >> Product Registration
This way the system will get the product serial number from the old machine and put it on Adobe servers. You can then login on Adobe servers using your AdobeID and retrieve it to use it when installing it on your new machine.
You are aware that you can install Adobe products on two devices at any one time right? Also, if you are not going to use your old machine then you could deactivate the product from that machine so that you don't waste your two installations unnecessarily.
Good luck and please post back how did you get on.

I have photoshop c6 on my mac want to install it on my macbook pro, do not have the access code anymore, is this still possible?

Hello, Have a question about installing photoshop c6 on a second computer without the access code. Is this still possible?
Thanks

Only if you registered your copy of CS6 with Adobe, in which case you can access your registration and serial number through your account on the main Adobe site, or if you have proof of purchase of a legitimate copy, in which case, unfortunately, only Adobe customer service can assist you with your issue. These are user forums; you are not addressing Adobe here.
Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
Then on the next page, click Chat.
There is also a phone option. 1 (800) 833-6687

Otherwise, you are severely out of luck.
All installed applications, such as the one installed on your other machine show deliberately truncated serial numbers for obvious reason.
