Why can't I find os x 10.6 to update my computer without having to pay $19.99

why can't I find os x 10.6 to update my computer without having to pay $19.99.
I can't update to 10.8 without the other updates.
Yes, I know i should have updated, but thought my ex husband had been updating.

  • Why can I not get through a whole session (20-30min) on Firefox without having to RESTART my computer?

    Working in gmail and answering mail--or even accessing my bank accounts-- for more than a few minutes is not possible. Firefox takes me off the internet even as I am typing an answer and then I have to restart my laptop to resume. This happens EVERY TIME I am online in Firefox! I do not use another browser, so it is very annoying. The notice says "you have no internet access, check your connection." My connection is ALWAYS fine! Sometimes the error message comes up "OOPs error #001."

    "OOPs error #001." is a google error when internet connection is lost. Browsers (including firefox) do not initiate, nor close the connection to your network - they only using system to send and receive data.
    If you're being disconnected from the internet, that's something beyond Firefox and possibly beyond your computer.
    Many things could go wrong. Milions of people are having problems to connect to the internet.
    If you're not advanced user, I suggest seeking help from your ISP.

  • Can I get my music from my library onto a new computer without having to sync anything?

    I have tried using firewire and even manually moving it over. It said when I manually moved it over that it was all on the computer.....but when I turned it back on, it was not. Each time I try to sync stuff through firewire, it freezes. (The geniuses say that this is because my hard drive is about to fail) Any way I can find my itunes library online and download it or something?

    I agree the term sync does somewhat give the wrong impression. I also know that most of us never really learn whether or not our backup strategies are good enough until we're called upon to use them in anger. Too often they fail.
    A script is a program that hasn't been compiled into machine code but is instead interpreted at run time. There is less scope for a pretty front end but they can be just as functional. Mine tend to display one or more pop-up boxes to confirm that you want them to perform their task on the currently selected tracks, then if possible show a progress bar so you can see that they are working (and abort if needs be), and finally a summary screen shows what has been done. An advantage of distributing these programs as scripts is that others can repurpose them if they are so inclined.
    If you copy your recovered media in to a new empty library then it won't have your playlists, ratings, playcounts etc. The two scripts I mention attempt to analyze all of the tracks in your library and on the device, and where a match can be found in the tag information (i.e. same name, track number, artist, album, etc.) the stats or playlist membership information are copied across.
    Data copied to an iPod in disk mode can be copied back as is. Media copied over by iTunes however is given obscure filenames and placed in hidden folders. The aim is to prevent casual copying of media. Of course it is no barrier to the determined pirate, but that is the main drive behind the way things are set up.
    For the future make sure you backup not just the media but the whole iTunes folder. The core of the library, holding ratings, play counts, playlists etc. is the iTunes Library.itl file. The user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy suggests a way to efficiently backup the folder and then subsequent changes to it.

  • HT1296 Is there any way I can transfer the music from my ipod touch to my computer without having to pay for it? Itunes worked fine with my ipod on my old laptop. I am not willing to risk losing all of the music on my ipod to update to the newest iOS.

    I really don't want to lose all of the music I have on my ipod touch. It worked fine with my ipod and my old laptop but I got a new laptop and now it doesn't want to sync anything except purchases I made on the ipod and everything that was in the cloud. The rest of the music on my ipod is from old CDs and I am away from home. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could give me some advice. I also don't really want to pay for a download that moves the music into itunes so if anything is free and safe that would be great or if there is a way to do it manually. Again thanks to anyone who has advice to share.

    You would have to purchase a 3rd party program ( not supported by Apple).
    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.
    Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.

Why can I not find the instruction strait from apple? This is the worst possible upgrade ever.  It make me think of when ericsson got sold to Sony....drastic PC change.

  • Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books?

    Why can't I find certain Pantone plus colors in Illustrator CS6 color books? For example I want to use PMS 2296C, but it is not coming up in the color swatch book in Illustrator.

    Thanks!
    I actually just came across the same thing in the meantime.
    And it worked!
    If you bought the physical Pantone books, there is a registration/serial number on the back. You can go to Pantone and register it (https://www.pantone.com/pages/MYP_myPantone/mypProductRegistration.aspx)
    Then you're able to download the Pantone manager.
    There are infact 336 new colors added to the Pantone Plus series. And this is where you need to get them. Once you have them, in Pantone color manager, you go to: File/Export/Adobe Illustrator/sRB. Then restart Illustrator.
    Once you go back in, the new 336 colors are available!

  • Why can't EXS find my instruments and samples?

    Why can't EXS find my Instruments and Samples?
    LPX 10.0.7
    I have had issues with this problem before, and have spent a few hours looking throughout the many related threads on this forum and on Logic Pro Help without finding a workable solution.  So I will jump in again and hope for someone to shed some light on this.
    Here is the scenario- I have two rigs, one in my studio and another on my laptop (2.5 gh Intel core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM). I have a duplicate of my sample library on a portable drive, which I take with me when I'm using my laptop. I recently copied a Project I'm working on from the portable drive to my main system. When I open the project, I get a message telling me that certain (not all) EXS files are not found.
    Some further pertinent info:
    I have not saved the EXS files with the project- the project uses a sizable template and that would be cumbersome.
    All of the EXS instruments/samples in the Project are there on both my internal sample drive and the portable drive.
    The aliases linking my Application support Logic folder and the sample drive are correct and in place.
    This happens whether I have the portable drive mounted on my main rig or not. And whether I open the Project from the portable drive or from the copy on the internal drive.
    I have reindexed the internal sample drive with Spotlight. Didn't help.
    I have refreshed the Instrument menu from within EXS. Didn't seem to do anything.
    Anyone?

  • Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Because it is not a mass storage device that would appear in the Finder. It uses the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) to interface with a computer. It can be accessed using an application that uses PTP, such as Image Capture, iPhoto, Aperture, or Canon's software. These applications also support more camera-specific features than the Finder would, such as tethered shooting and possibly camera clock synchronization.

  • Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?

    Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?
    This happens with maybe 1 out of 5 files. These are files that have either an ."aa" extention, or or are libraries that icloud can see, but finder can't.

    Files beginning with a period are invisible and library files are system files. Spotlight cannot find either unless configured to do so (btw, this is not a Finder issue but a Spotlight issue.)
    Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
    Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
    Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
    In the first drop down menu choose Other.
    Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
    Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.

    That would fall under Browsing History. Firefox > History -> Show All History
