When I try to update my mac from 10.5.8 to 10.9 it says no updates available

Whn I try to update my mac from 10.8.5 to 10.9 it says no updates are available at this time, yet I have not updated.

OS X 10.8.5 is the latest version of Mountain Lion - there are no further updates to that OS at this time.
But you can upgrade (assuming your Mac meets the specs) to the newly released later version of OS X - 10.9 Mavericks via the Mac App Store (available from the Apple menu).
(Can you confirm what OS you are currently running - the headline to your thread says 10.5.8, which is Leopard, your profile says 10.7.3, which is Lion and your message mentions 10.8.5, which is Mountain Lion ).

  • Just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion. Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help.

    I just updated my mac from Tiger to Mountain Lion.  wiped the computer clean and started fresh Loaded Photoshop elements 11 (brand new in the box) and when I try to start it - it comes up saying - Licensing for the product has stopped working contact for help. in Looking for help I was directed here. what do I do?

    I don't know enough to not follow directions. I bought the software brand new in a sealed from factory box. Had it sitting around until - last week when I deleted flash on my computer and had to upgrade to the new OSX. Mountain Lion doesn't use iPhoto - so I had to go with something else. Since I already had this new - unopened package  I opened it up. Shut down all running programs - inserted the disk and followed all the directions for installation.  Still it didn't work.
    I have now uninstalled it (the proper way) and am going to try again.
    I appreciate your responses.
    Thank you!
    If this doesn't work - I am going to just buy Lightroom.

  • I just bought a nano and am trying to sync to itune on my mac.  It tells me I need the latest version of itune.  when I try to donwload this it tells me I need a new OS.  I have updated both and my nano still will not sync.  Any suggestions?

    Numbers documents from iOS need Numbers 3.2 on a Mac to open. And Numbers 3.2 requires Mavericks. If you are using Mavericks you can get Numbers 3.2 from the Mac App Store. It will be free IF you have Numbers 2 (iWork '09) installed. Otherwise you must buy it.
    Your other option is to send the Numbers file as an Excel file via e-mail to yourself to open with an earlier version of Numbers.

  • When I try and send a link from mail it says I must re-install my OS in my 2012 Mac Air

    when I try and send a link from mail it says I must re-install my OS in my 2012 Mac Air

    Typing in additional text seems to get the job done.  This seems to be a feature of the latest IOS update, I have never had the problem before the last update.
    I use the box with the arrow just to the left of the URL block at the top of the page to send myself links to pages of interest.  Adding the extra text seems like a pointless step, but it does work.
    Thanks.

    I am facing the problem on downloading apps from Mac App Store, when I try to install the application from App store, I am getting an error message "Status_Code_Error" while click on "Login"

    Same problem here in Brazil.
    It seems to be a problem with logging in App Store in the Mac (Yosemite 10.10.2).
    When I tried the very same userid and password I was able to login in to use my iCloud account from the same computer and also from my iPhone.

  • When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, e.g. Pages, to open the file.

    When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?

    The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
    The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section.  This is how it appears in Snow Leopard.  Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
    If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with.  What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
    If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list.

  • When I try to transfer a video from iPhone to Mac it gives me this error code (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error 28.) It only happens when I try to transfer a 1.9GB video

    When I try to transfer a video from iPhone to Mac it gives me this error code (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error 28.) It only happens when I try to transfer a 1.9GB video

    How are you trying to transfer it?  Which applicaiton on the Mac are you using? How are you connecting the iPhone to the Mac? If you're using iPhoto what version of iPhoto is it and what system are you using?

    Hello Ventanilla 97,
    I agree with planb77 with recreating your itunes library. That will fix your issue. If you would like more step by step info go here:

  • Safari & FireFox  freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive.

    Safari & FireFox freeze when I try to upload a file from my hard drive. This just started happening in the past couple of days. I haven't installed any software, or made any updates (that I can remember.) When the browser freezes I can't "force quit" them. I have to manually shut the computer down are restart it. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Safari and Firefox box.... it could be a problem with the hard drive itself, not your browsers.
    Just to make sure, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors Disk Utility reports.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first from the installer menu)
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*

  • When I try to play a video from facebook or you tube it says blocked plug in

    When I try to play a video from Facebook or Youtube, it says blocked plug in. How do I unblock this?

    I wonder why the download doesn't last very long.
    Flash has a reputation of being really sloppily written, and full of Hacks (which are potential places to cause problems). Mac OS X blocks outdated versions automatically when a better one becomes available.
    Update Flash Player (using its own Control Panel) or download ONLY from this site:
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    The current version at this writing is 16.0.0.235, (but may be different by the time you read this).

    Have you tried booting from the Recovery HD to reinstall Lion?
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    You will need the Apple ID and password used to purchase Lion. If you have not purchased Lion, then you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard then update it to 10.6.8 to access the App Store where you can purchase and download Lion under your own Apple ID. Or you can purchase the Apple USB Lion installer flash drive at any local Apple retailer or the Online Store.

    I have iPhone 4s, and using latest iOS. When I try to open any link from Twitter or Facebook, it goes to open some wrong webpage. My iphone seems to be infected or suffering from some spyware or malware. How can I remove this wrong link opening ? Please help me to resolve...

    I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
    Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

  • When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there

    When I try to import .olm files from my external hard drive back up, where do they go? It says on different forums they go to the "on my computer" folder but they are not there.
    I go through all the instructions but then my emails do not appear. I'm starting to panic a bit!

    You might want to try asking on the MS Office Outlook forum - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook - since those are Outlook files.
    Also note which method you're using to create a backup.
