I have a Mac OSX Version 10.4.11 and i want to know how to update software are i have itunes 8.2 i want to know how to update that as well
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

I'm considering FileVault usage on an iMac with OSX 10.6.7. Wanting to know more about strengths and weaknesses of Filevault with Time Machine, Parallels and Carbon Copy Cloner. Any negatives to consider before flipping the switch? Any information ?
Would specifically like to know:
Filevault impact on performance and application usability.
TIme machine impacts, and whether TIme Machine volume will also be secure?
Will a Cloned copy made with CCC be bootable, or usable?
Any other negatives to consider before turning this thing on?
Thanks,Filevault impact on performance and application usability.
FileVault encrypts the user's home directory only - it is basically an encrypted disk image that is automatically opened when you log in and closed when you log out. It does cause disk accesses to be a bit slower so it isn't a good idea to use an encrypted account with sound or video or large graphics files. I have no experience with it with Parallels Desktop but suspect that you'd notice a bit of a slowdown. Note: in the User's directory you'll see a Shared Folder. Since FV only encrypts the user's directory you can put data you don't need encrypted in this shared folder which won't be encrypted.
TIme machine impacts, and whether TIme Machine volume will also be secure?
There are issues with TM and FV but how extensive they are with Snow Leopard I can't say, once I realized that TM and FV hadn't substantially changed between 10.5 and 10.6 I stopped dealing with it. When FV and TM were first introduced my testing led me to recommend using CCC or SuperDuper! for backing up.
Will a Cloned copy made with CCC be bootable, or usable?
Yes
Any other negatives to consider before turning this thing on?
Since FV is nothing more than a disk image - and disk images can fail - there are several problems with FV in my opinion. If an encrypted disk image fails it isn't possible to access any of that data. If you don't have a recent (undamaged) backup of the disk image and/or recent backup of the data within the disk image you are in a world of hurt. This isn't just a warning of possibility - this is a real danger that I've seen all too often at the shop where I have worked part time for a number of years.
At this time I strongly recommend that people who have sensitive data keep that sensitive data segregated from their general data and encrypt only the sensitive data or use other methods of locking it down such as saving on an external drive that is kept in a safe. Call me paranoid but I don't even keep all my sensitive data in one encrypted disk image. I use multiple disk images and keep multiple sequential backups. That way I might someday find that my up-to-date investments disk image won't mount but (a) I can go back a week to a backup and (b) that won't impact my up-to-date business records because those are in a different disk image -
Hey guys, Just want to know if i can jump from osx 10.5.8 straight to 10.6.4? Is there an update in between ? All i see available to purchase from apple is osx 10.6 (there is no third number) but yet i saw a guy online selling snow leopard 10.6.3 so it left me wondering if i would need to purchase two upgrades as oppose to one!
CheersUpdates from 10.x.0 to 10.x.last are traditionally free, and are available via Software Update.
The version upgrades from 10.x to 10.y will traditionally cost you some money.
Make sure your Mac meets the requirements for 10.6 — if you're on PPC, you cannot upgrade to 10.6. (For reference, here are the Lion 10.7 system requirements. The 10.7 upgrade requires 10.6.6 or later, and can be purchased by calling Apple directly and acquiring a download code, if it doesn't show up in the Mac App Store for you automatically. I don't think your hardware would be supported with 10.8, if you're presently running 10.5.)
In any case, you can purchase an official Apple Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD disk for US$20.
Back up your system before installing the new software.
Once you install 10.6, you'll run software update and the 10.6.8 combo update will be downloaded and installed for you. That's free. 10.6.8 allows you to use your trackpad, as well as access the Mac App Store and some other tools; it's the most recent version of 10.6. -

I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.

Upgrading is rather simple.
First you need to enure you have enough free hard disk space. The quickest way to do this is to click on Spotlight (the magnifying glass at the top right corner of your screen) then search for and open an app called Disk Utility. Once Disk utility opens you need to highlight the second item on the left which is called MacintoshHD by default. Then look on the lower right for available disc space is gigabytes. You need a minimum of 8gb available.
Got enough space? Great. Next click on the Apple menu on the top right corner and select "About this Mac" and make sure you are running 10.6.8. If not click software update and install it.
Once you verify you are on 10.6.8 then click on the Apple menu at the top right and select the third item on the list called the App Store. Mountain Lion is on the lower right of the first page that loads. After that you click on the $19.99 then enter you account to continue. I assume you already have an itunes store account so use that for payment. As soon as the charge goes through it starts to download. Its about 4gb so it can take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours depending on your internet connection speed.
If its going to take a long time you may want to go to the Apple Menu at the top right and select system preferances then Energy Saver on the second line. Then move the slider on the first line all the way to the right so the Mac will not go to sleep during the download. Also be sure to plug in the power cord. Once you upgrade this setting will be retained so when you are done you will need to go back and change this setting, its the same in the newer version.
When its done downloading it will ask you to install. Its pretty simple, you need to enter your Administrator password and agree to the liscense and click next a few times. Be sure to select Macintosh HD and not Recovery HD to install to. I wouldn't imaging the installation taking more than 15 minutes after it is done downloading.
Also if you chose not to install when its done downloading you can do it later. All you have to do is search spotlight for "Install OSX Mountain Lion". The app is in the Applications folder. Also be sure to make a backup before upgrading. It should go through OK but there is always a chance it will not.
Good luck! -
Open Directory Active Directory users want to know Is there a method?
Help
Open Directory Active Directory users want to know Is there a method?
Or can I make the Active Directory users to share on the Open Directory.
My goal is to use our school Mac computers with SSOIf I understand your question correctly, using Active Directory with OSX, there are a few ways this can be accomplished.
One way is by joining each Mac directly to Active Directory. This doesn't take advantage of the additional managed preference available to OSX, but does allow AD users to authenticate on OSX. On each machine, one would open System Preferences > Accounts > Login Options > Click Join next to Network Account Server. Follow the prompts and provide the domain name of your Active Directory deployment to join the system.
Another method is to follow the steps above, but only after extending the Active Directory Schema to support the OSX-specific managed preferences. It's a mostly harmless operation and means that you'll have a single administration interface for both OSX and Windows systems. The AD Schema information is available from Apple Support, but may also be readily available on the Internet.
Because our Windows team preferred to not change our AD schema any more than we already had, we used a different method. We created an Open Directory Master on one of our OSX servers, then we joined it as a member server to Active Directory. Next, we join all of our OSX workstations and laptops as members to the Open Directory domain instead of to Active Directory. This way, SSO still works. New user accounts are added to Active Directory and all managed preferences for OSX can be managed through the native OSX Workgroup Manager tool.
I think there are some instructions in the User Management PDF (Mac OS X Server, User Management, Version 10.6 Snow Leopard) or in the Advanced Server Admin PDF (Mac OS X Server, Advanced Server Administration, Version 10.6 Snow Leopard) but not completely certain. This page might have the docs. -

I'm assuming you have the lastet OSX version 10.9 "Mavericks." Here are some useful links from Apple I think will help:

I suspect you have a newer iMac than the pre-2006 models this forum covers (the forum labels are unbelieveably vague). If you can confirm that yours is newer than 2005, I can ask the Hosts to move you the the forum for current iMacs, which gets many more views. -
I've buy a new Air Book for may self :-) and I want to offer my Macbook pro to my sun. I really want to know what should I do to clean all my information in the my old computer?
Backup your data off the machine to a external drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
Create another Admin account in System Preferences and log into it, delete your Admin Account and reboot.
Optional: Open Disk Utility and Erase Free Space (Zero good enough, 7x for military level, both take time)
This should be good enough to remove just your account and data without the hassle of reinstalling the OS and all new programs again.
However if you need that level, then c boot off the 10.6 disk (or command r boot on Lion) and use Disk Utility there to Zero or 7x erase the OSX drive/partition, quit and reinstall OS X. Much more work that likely is unnecessary in your case.
Good Luck. -
I just bought a used computer with OSX 10.8 and want to reinstall OSX 10.6.3 Snow Leopard . . . How can I do this?
Alfi94965 wrote:

First off you need to know the model identifier of the machine, not all Mac's can be reverted to Snow Leopard and not all Mac's can use the 10.6.3 Retail disk!
To find the model identifier, boot the machine up and hold the command key and the spacebar, Spotlight appears at the top right corner and type in System Profiler and press Enter/Return.
The model identifier should be something like "MacBook Pro 9,2" or something of that nature.
You also can hold D while the computer is booting on/near a Internet connection for a long time and this loads Hardware Test, which one of the panes will give the required information.
Next you download MacTracker here and look up your machine and it's original operating system.
(Don't click the AppStore version obviously)
http://mactracker.ca/
You may have to right or control click on the program to bypass Apple's Gatekeeper and run the program.
If you have the model identifier and the machine won't boot, then just ask here and we can tell you the information
Now all Intel Mac's issued before July 2011 can install Snow Leopard, but the Mac's released after July 2011 came with OS X 10.7 Lion and the firmware won't boot off the Snow Leopard disk. (however 10.6 can be shoehorned on using Firewire Target Disk Mode and another Mac for some models after July 2011)
Also the 10.6.3 Snow Leopard Retail Disk sold at Apple only works on Mac's that came with 10.4-10.6.2 from the factory.
Any Mac's that originally came with 10.6.3-10.6.8 from the factory need model specific disks from Apple directly, not sold at their online store, you will have to call them with your Mac's serial number and order these disks.
If you get the right disk and have the right machine, then you should be able to insert the disk and hold c down or the option/alt key and boot from the 10.6 disk.
Follow these directions and make sure to erase the ENTIRE DRIVE first in Disk Utility or you will have issues later trying to fix it from the disk.
