  • Why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks

    why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks?  I do not know what month it was built.  I bought it as a refurbished by Apple a few months ago.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

    Do a backup before installing.
    Your iMovie and iPhoto data should be good, but you will have to upgrade the applications.
    If you decide the upgrade isn't worth it, you can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
    Snow Leopard iCloud –  iCal
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Configuring Mail with Mac OS X v10.6 or iOS 4

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

    That's as high as that model can upgrade to. You will need to buy a newer model to go higher.

  • Why cant i upgrade my IOS

    i want to know how to Upgrade my Ipod Touch's IOS

    An  MC540ll is a 4G iPod.
    you have a 4G iPod. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • Why cant I upgrade?

    I've been trying for a week now to upgrade my BB to unlimited as currently on 10gig limit and always ending paying extra. However I keep getting the message that this package is not available when choosing the clearly advertised unlimited option for £18p/m?? Is really getting on my nerves now and am looking at other providers although would rather not go through the hassle of changing. I am not a phone person so dont want to call up, just want to know why I cant to it online??
    Anyone else had this problem and how did you rectify it?
    Cheers

    To upgrade follow these links.
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=25633&s_cid=con_ppc_m...
    They might tell you this deal is for new customers only and that an existing customer has to upgrade via this link
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=27281
    which costs more but I'm sure if you haggle with them and point out that you are a loyal customer and will stay loyal at least for the length of the contract they will do a deal.

  • HT5794 why cant you upgrade from logic pro 9 to x

    not fair

    People should stop whining about that.
    Apple stated it a while a go that it's the new AppStore policy.Idem with iWork and pages and all.
    Now apps are all the price of upgrade and voilà. That's it.
    I read that comment many hundred times and can't understand how people can continue to ask for this. It's a 200$ upgrade already.
    Also, a few persons mentionned contacting apple and received a refund for logic 9 when bought within a few months of logic X release.
    So that's totally fair.
    Cubase 750$ and pro-tools 699$ that is unfair, I'd own them too if I could afford it.

  • I upgraded my iPod Touch 4th gen to IOS 6.1 and now it won't sync with iTunes?

    After upgrading to IOS 6.1, my iPod Touch won't sync. This is really frustrating as I want to add new music etc.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why cant i hear the delete sound in email using iOS 6.0.1

    I can hear the keyboard clicks and send sound effects but I do not hear the swoosh when deleting messages.  My iPod Touch used to make that sound, does the iPad not have that same sound?  
    I'm new to iPad so forgive me if this is a stupid question....

    Thanks Charles,
    ok here goes
    I have a new 5th gen ipod. For some reason in the ipod prefs in itunes I dont have any options to add video or photos the only options that I get are for music and podcasts.
    I have reinstaled itunes 6.0.1 (3) about 4 times each time cleaning every file of the mac that has anthing to do with itunes.
    Even though my ipod shows in my desktop and itunes list and in the system profiler under usb 2.0 I still cant seem to reformat the new ipod. When I use the restore option when I load the ipod updater it says to plug it in. Yet its clearly there.
    I have also deleted the ipoddriver.kxt file as well
    Thank you in advance.

  • Should i upgrade my ipod touch 5th generation to iOS 8.0.2?

    so far i have the iOS 7 latest update for my ipod touch 5th generation. However, i noticed that iOS 8.0.2 is released. i know that the first iOS 8 update crashed a lot as well as decrease speed, and i'm not sure if the new update fixed it. Would my ipod still function at the same speed?

    I upgraded all my devices to iOS 8 with no problems except slightly faster battery drain.
    Note that some users always have problems with any iOS update so just because you hear of problems does not mean it is any worse than other update. It is not worse than other updates.
    iOS 8 does included some better security features so I would update
