If your profile is correct you're already on the final version of Snow Leopard (10.6.8). Sure it wasn't Lion it was asking for?
If that's the only version available on the app store, you'll need to source a copy of the iWork '09 DVD - not cheap now - only available via Amazon or eBay etc.

Where did you get the iPhone?
(1) A Carrier?
(2) Direct from Apple?
(3) Someone not an authorized Apple agent..

Anyone with a MAC who can't connect to Music Store???

Is there anyone else out there on a Mac who can't connect to the Music Store?
I've been reading a bunch of threads with similar connection timeout issues but they mainly belong to Window users, users in England who are using an ISP with Orange, and users who are using personal firewalls.
Just a week ago was downloading songs fine and suddenly three days ago, I can't do anything. Redeem a code, download a song.
I've contacted Apple Customer Service but am getting the run-around with automatic emails, emails that send me to Windows articles, emails that seem to not be understanding what is going on.
Has anyone else with a MAC been able to figure out how to fix this? Is a specific modem issue (I have a Motorola cable modem)? Is this an ISP specific issue (I use Cox Communications)? Or is this a widespread Apple issue?
Ideas? Suggestions??

Yeah It would be nice if the put ALL windows forums in one section and leave it out of the mac sections, or atleast split the ipod forums one for windows one for macs but ho well...
I know for iTUnes they have a windows only section, but then for some reason they dumped all windows topics in the iTUnes for mac section too. so Time to Time we get mac posters here and have to redirect them

Well I am in my first year in college and am finally looking to get a macbook that I have always wanted. But I dont know what one to get. Ill be using it for school work, music and pictures, searching the web and traveling abroad.

I have a lot of pictures and i know I am going to be getting an external hardrive. But i am stuck between the 13 in new macbook air and the 15 in retina macbook. battery life is important but i want it to be really fast and just like a powerhorse. I could use all the input I could get. I will be studying abraod to and i want something that will be good to use over there and still be fast. Thanks guys all imput needed!

Goodness me, a month? That's crazy! I'd say wait it
out and get your free adapter or battery (though I'm
bitter I just barely missed the free nano promotion
too).
I am expressing interest in getting that free battery, but I really don't need an extra adapter because I still have the original one from my first MacBook.
Had you mailed your MacBook in for just the random
shutdown issue? It seems bizarre that it has taken so
long, because I sent mine in for the same issue and
it took two weeks total turn around. Also, did they
give you any reason as to why it will take so long to
ship out your replacement?
My MacBook was initially sent in just for the random shutdown issue, but then I called them while it was getting repaired to request the new plastic, since that was becoming a public issue. I think the logic board was replaced by two weeks into the repair, but then it had to wait longer for plastic. When all of that was replaced, it failed the final testing and was going to take longer, but they offered a replacement.
I think my replacement is taking so long because it is a custom build (so that took about 3 business days) and then estimated shipping is always one week, so since yesterday it has been waiting to be shipped.
ARGH.

I want old version back; dont know what is it or how to get it. Don't like losing programs that are opened when I close up and turn off computer.

With prior version, after I closed firefox and shut down computer, the open programs would be back up when I restarted computer. Also, I dont like menu bar. I know nothing about computers. I messed up getting new version. Not only do I not know what version I have now, I do not know older version "Number" either.

It is not a toolbar, so there is nothing to find in the Add-ons menu about yahoo, it is only when I open a new tab than apears yahoo as a website but before there were options from firefox not a real website if you understand what I mean.
edit: And sometimes netassistent apears, I don't know what it is and where it comes from, but I found it at Add-ons and deleted it and now is yahoo gone :) thanks a lot!

I dont know my Ipad is brand new or second hand when I got some problems like this. Please help

Dear Mr/ Miss,
My friend bought a new Ipad on a store ( not in Apple store because she lives in a small state where there is not any Apple store. I didnt remember the name of her state clearly). The problem is when I check the Serial number in the Apple site, I find out the estimated expiry date is August 9 (still didnt open the seal yet), after that when i first time active the Ipad, the day on the site had changed by the day I active (Sep 27) and the information of August 9 is disappear. Please dont mind make me clear this point. If I said that August 9 was the first day I active is wrong or right? Or it is just the day my friend paid for the Ipad at store??? I think that when I didnt active the ipad, we cant find any information on site.
The second is: I find out in this Ipad there has been a sim card already inside, and the owner of this store answered surely that ALL the Ipad of Apple store has a sim attached inside.
I just want to know my product I bought from my friend is brand new or second hand.
We are looking forward to hearing from you, as soon as possible.
Best Regards

The date Apple cares about is the date the authorized reseller sold the iPad, not the day you first set up the iPad or registered it with Apple. So I can't explain why it started as showing 8/9 and then changed to 9/27. But since it says Sep 27 2013 as the date of warranty expiration, why worry about it? If you're concerned about Apple catching the mistake and changing it back at some inconvenient time, call Apple support, ask to speak with someone in AppleCare Plan Administration, and discuss the problem with them. They'd want to see a copy of the invoice, though, which you'd have to get from your friend if she didn't already send you a copy.
Regards.

How to ichat between two computers with one .mac account

My husband and I travel a lot separately and need to be able to ichat when one of us is away.
We have an iMac at home, and an iBook on the road (both about a year old with the latest software updated). We tried using an AIM account on one and our .mac account on the other which worked once, but now we can't seem to get it to work.
Can anyone help us with this?
Thanks very much.

HT204053 I had my iphone stolen and I now have a new one and I got most of my pictures back but some very important pictures from my niece's baptism were on my other phone is there anyway to get those back? I have icloud but dont know if I set the new ph

I restored my new phone from an earlier date than my niece's baptism. I don't know if I should have restored or set up as a new phone. But my problem now is that I really want those pictures. I had icloud on that phone and the new one. Can anyone help me or tell me if I can get those pictures back. When I log into my itunes account on my computer it still shows the other phone as a device but I only see where you can remove that device. Thank you need to take a class on all this new technology.

Like a digital camera, you should be syncing your photos from iphone to a computer often. If you have been doing that, you should find the photos on the computer.
If you had been backing up you iphone to icloud, then you could restore the backup, but many users have complained here that they lost all their photos when doing a restore, none seem to have been in the backup. Since your new phone is new, then try doing a restore (you should have done that when you first set up the new phone - if you did and the photos did not come back, then they are lost).
To restore, look through this help page, scroll to the bottom for restore instructions.

I cant download adobe flashplayer 10.3 its only 50% says i need to disable firefox to finish download I dont know how this firefox is new too me I cant play my games on facebook without flashplayer

I need help downloading adobe flash player 10.3 I have an HP Pavilion dv7 with windows 7 I just had a new hard drive put in today the other one was bad. installed mozilla firefox brother in law did said it was good to have well I am getting aggrivated to where I cant play games on my facebook account or anywhere on my computer now because I need this update of flash player help

If it's saying that you need to close firefox before you can continue, do this:
# Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del
# Click Task Manager
# After this, you'll want to left click on the process which says "firefox.exe".
# You'll also want to close ANYTHING that says "plugin-container.exe", as this is what holds firefox's plug in's and is part of it.
If what you've said above is true and it's complaining that you need to close firefox first, then this is all you have to do.
Alternatively, if you can't find task manager, simply restart your computer; Firefox doesn't boot on start.
You can also make sure that ALL windows are closed from Firefox, including the download window. Any of the above should fix your problem.
I also noticed you stated you're using firefox 5.0. The most recent version is 6.0. You can go to http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/ to download the newest version.

There is an error when I want to reinstall the applications that came with my mac (after having reinstalled the Mac OS X DVD). What can I do?

I erased my hard disk and then installed the Mac OS X DVD. After having done this I wanted to install the applications too, for which I introduced the Applications DVD. The DVD is recognized and I follow the instructions given. On the last step, the installation, the Installer shows me a Message. It says that there is an error, and that I should contact the Software developer. It is very weird, because there is no error number or any other explanation. If somebody could help, I would be enormously thankful.

If you have a backup (and I hope you did one as before any potentially dangerous task), you can restore it.
If you don't, but have a recent system, you may try to boot in recovery mode.
If you can't, you have to get another computer (or simply your Windows Mac) to "burn" your system image either on a DVD or a flashdisk (.dmg are just .iso so you can change suffix).
Anyway, each and every data you had on you HDD, including 3rd party apps, would be lost.

Synchronize iphone 2G with another mac (new itunes library)

Have a lot of pictures on my iphone but am afraid to synchronise to another computer (former synchronisation happened 3 years ago and this computer crashed some time ago).
I think everything (music and photos, contacts also (?)) will be erased as soon as i sync the iphone with my imac (a clean and empty itunes library).
So, is there any solution to retrieve the photos and contacts on my Iphone ?
Iphone A1203 Model MA712LL version 1.1.4 (4A102)

This mayb be of help:
