Why cant I update Quicktime
When I click on iTunes from my Macbook it tells me to update to 7.5.5 or later so it told me to go on Apple.com/quicktime and I did. But it doesnt give me the option to update it only tells me that quicktime is already build in the macbook.
Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

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 -

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. -

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

Why can't I update my pymt info?? Is my only option really to wait around 4-5 days, while I am unable to make necessary purchases???
Without details about the problem, there's not much we can suggest other than to contact iTunes Store Support. The iTunes Store has no phone support, so I don't know what call you think you'd be waiting for. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Why cant i update my original ipad to ios 6?
Why can't I update my original iPad to IOS 6?
... and by the way it's not only older iPads that do not support iOS 6. The original iPhone, iPhone 3G (second generation iPhone), and many iPods do not support it either.
And, as this article shows, newer but not very new generations (e.g., iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4) support some but not all features. Here's more detail:

I have the mac os x 10.5.8 why cant i update?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

You cannot install Lion directly from Leopard.
Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, runing the latest version of Snow Leopard.
