Why cant i update my mac software i am currently on 10.5.8
I run software update and then says no update available can anyone help please.
There are no updates for Leopard. 10.5.8 is the final version.
If you want to upgrade to a later version of OS X:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
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
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 any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (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):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

I have been trying to get an app on my computer and when i try it says it requires os x 10.7 or later and when i check for updates it says there isnt anything so what can i do?
Ah, yes! Well, that sort of explains it. It looks pretty cool, and I think the developers want to take advantage of some of the graphics hotness in the newest OS, hence the requirement of OS 10.7.
Yeah, your only choice is to upgrade the OS.
If you decide to do that, I suggest you skip past 10.7.x and go right to 10.8 Mountain Lion. I believe you can get there from 10.6.8.
And really, it is well worth $20. It's different... but it definitely hotness. -
Why cant i update to os 10.7.5
why cant i update to os 10.7.5?
If you're still running 10.6.3, you'll need to update to 10.6.8 to get the App Store. Since you didn't supply any information about your Mac, Lion might not be a good match for you.
After you have the App Store, Lion can be ordered here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion -

Try disabling your computer's security software during the downloading and installation. I found that rebooting my router and modem helped too.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

why cant i update my apps
One thing to check is to see if you have any items waiting to download in iTunes (on your iPhone).
The most recent time I had this problem, I checked there and found 5 items that hadn't downloaded properly. Once cleared, things started updating again.
It looks like there's a system-wide download queue, and, unlike the non-iPhone versions, it will only download one item at a time. So, if one item gets stuck, the others wait patiently behind it until its their turn, like polite people on an escalator. Pausing or deleting the troublesome download will allow the others to continue. -

how do i update my mac software and how do I know which operating system I am on
1. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu to check the installed version.
2. Incremental updates are available in the Software Update pane of System Preferences or the Mac App Store's Updates tab. The source for full version upgrades varies; 10.6 through 10.8 are in the online Apple Store, and 10.9 is in the Mac App Store.

I cant update any mac software
Every time I go to update any apple software, currently trying to the new versions of OSX and itunes but every time I ask to get the update It downloads it all with no problem and goes through most of the installation and at what seems like the last minute it comes back and says "there was an error and the update cannot be continued". It does this every time, we are talking about 5-10 repetitions here. ANY help would be appreciated. Thank you.
HI, sadly 10.5.8 doesn't support the newest iTunes.
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6 if they still have it, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
