Why do I have to upgrade?
When I click on the iPhoto icon in my dock, I get the following message:
I don't want to lose the pics I have. I am running OS X 10.9.1. iPhoto is 9.5.1.
Everyone gets this message and it's entirely normal and nothing to worry about.
1. The message isn't preventing you from getting to your pictures. Not completing the update is.
2. I'm not sure why you think that you will lose pictures. There is nothing in that message that says that or even anything like it.
3. If you click quit what would you expect to happen?
4. You can't back up your Library with iPhoto open.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
I will comment that I'm amazed that you don't have a back up already.
Then let the app upgrade the Library. You won't lose anything and it'll take a couple of moments - and you (now) have a back up in case you're one of the 0.0001% of folks who have a problem.

I have an iphone 4s and upgrade to ios6. It wont connect now after the upgrade to itunes and the itunes doesnt regonize the device. Im so freaking sad. Please somebody give me a fix. Why did I have to upgrade to ios6? Please somebody let me see the light.
I cant even get into itunes because it wont recognize it to do a reboot or a rollback.The terms of service of the Apple Support Communities prevent us from helping anyone with a jailbroken phone.
You're on your own. Good luck. -
ITunes Plus - why do we have to upgrade everything?
I see iTunes is giving us no choice about which tracks/albums that we upgrade -- it's all or nothing.
The "plus" tracks definitely sound better, but to upgrade my entire purchased library would cost me $600 in upgrade fees (assuming all of my 1,400+ purchased tracks are going to be ultimately available in this format) -- it's just too much.
I WOULD like to be able to upgrade certain albums and songs. But at this point, I have no choice about which ones.
So, it seems to me that iTunes' BEST customers are being penalized -- if you've bought only a few tracks from iTunes, then upgrading your entire library won't cost that much and you can just do it and move on. But if you've bought a LOT of music from iTunes in the past -- you have to shell out hundreds of dollars to upgrade EVERYTHING, even though you may want to only upgrade some of your favorite albums and tracks.
The only way around this seems to be re-purchasing individual albums in the plus format ... which is much more expensive that the upgrades, but at least you can pick and choose.
Something's wrong here, I think. I didn't expect iTunes to kick me in the butt like this.Well, how do we know that? I mean, about EMI requesting it? Why would they care? If you upgrade 10 songs, you have to pay for ten songs. But if you decide NOT to upgrade those 10 songs because Apple/EMI/whoever insists you have to upgrade 100 ... then they've just lost a sale, right?
I mean, have you ever been in a store buying a shirt and had the saleperson say, "sorry, I can't let you buy that shirt unless you also buy these jeans! And these shoes! And, dang it, the entire fall line!! Otherwise you can just walk right out cause we don't need your business!"
I just think it's a odd way to treat loyal customers. -
Why do I have to upgrade to buy books ?
So, like so many others, I have had the misfortunne to upgrade to iTunes latest version, on my main PC. Like so many others, it's been a disaster. Login to the store impossible, amongst other things.
But, on my laptop, I run the older version, 10.1.0.56, and it works quite nicely, thanks.
But, I went to buy stuff on the store today - because the login works perfectly with the old version - and it won't let me buy books, or get samples of them - it keeps telling me I 'must' upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, first ?
You mean the one that doesn't work ? Ah, thanks but................No.
So, the artists/authors are ok with losing sales, because I won't download duff software - is that it ?
Why can't I just buy stuff, as-is, on version 10.1.0.56 ?I didn't think the update process was difficult at all... although I can understand the frustrations of a slow internet connection (I recently installed SP 2 on my parents' computer, with a dial-up connection). I do know, that with the release of iTunes 7, they have more or less overhauled the iTunes Store (doubling the resolution of their video files, for one thing) and therefore it no longer works in earlier versions of iTunes.

I just got a warning that the Itunes that I just downloaded (10.6) could impare or destablize my system- I have had Itunes on my computer before but when I plugged in my Ipod it told me I needed to uninstall Itunes and reinstall itunes all together. Now I don't know what to do. I have a Sony computer that runs on Windows XP and then I have an Ipad, Iphone, and Ipod that I sync everything with What do I do? Do I continue installing? And, if I don't install how will I ever get all my "gadgets" to work properly without being able to download Itunes 10.6? Need Help!!!! I'm not very tech savey...just a grandmother who loves her gadgets:)
What's the precise text of the message, please? (There's a couple of different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

I have just upgraded to the icloud and now I am getting an error message on ical - saying "make sure the URL is correct", I haven't changed anything so why is it now an issue? any ideas?
The full message sasy "The calendar https:// cal.me.com:8443/principas/users/(server number) was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.10.6.8 cannot access iCloud's facilities - you can set Mail up manually and there is a hack which some people have used to sync calendars (see below) - you cannot sync any other type of data.
This is the situation with iCloud and Snow Leopard:
Your email, calendars, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud. Contacts and Bookmarks cannot be migrated from a Snow Leopard Mac.
Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery, will continue to work as before until next June.
Syncing of Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items and Keychains between Macs, and Mail Accounts, Mail Rules, System Preferences, Signatures & Smart Mailboxes between Macs & iOS devices, will cease altogether.
You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is). -

Why can't I download OS X Mavericks? The download option is malfunctioning. I already checked that my mac version can have free upgrade. I click download, but it just doesnt do anything. I went to purchase tab, clicked "download" next to the app but still nothing happens. It's not internet problem because everything else on the app store works. The only thing not working is Mavericks downloading and I don't know why. Please help.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
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),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/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)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Since Mavericks requires 8GB's or more of free disk space, control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, right or control click startup disk in the Sidebar on the left then click Get Info.
You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.
If installed, disable anti virus software before downloading Mavericks. -
I have just upgraded my account why can i not use it, it keeps redirecting me
I have just upgraded my account why can i not use it, it keeps redirecting me
Hi;
You upgraded your FormsCentral account? Can you explain what you mean that you cannot use it, what is happening, when and where are you being redirected? Did you use the same email address for the upgrade as you used to sign into this forum? We see a lot of cases where users sign into FormsCentral with one email address but then use a different during the upgrade process. Check and see if you have another email you might have used for the upgrade.
Thanks,

Why do I have so many shared computers listed in finder since upgrading to Yosemite
Why do I have so many shared computers listed in finder since upgrading to Yosemite? The shared list grows. Why?
It is a bug. Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Why do i have to keep Force quitting applications ever since i upgraded to Mountain lion. It is very annoying when applications cannot be existed normally.
Does your system meet these Mountain Lion System Requirements?:
General Requirements
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Supported
Models
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
And as user macsonrisanoted above, 4 GB of RAM is the practical minimum amount of RAM that Mountain Lion really needs since the OS itself uses at least that much often by itself. -
