Why do some websites tell me that my Safari needs to be updated but there are no Software Updates for my computer?

I have Safari version 5.1.10 and Maverick 10.6.8. I see that there is Safari 6 & 7 but when I run a Software Update, it says my computer is up to date.

Those are only for newer Mac OS X versions; you need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch browsers.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

HT1338 My iTunes won't let me connect my iPhone because it says I need an updated iTunes, but when I try to download the new iTunes, it says that my Mac software (10.5.8) is too old. However, there are no software updates available. What can I do?

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

Trying to download the new itunes but it tells me there are "No software updates"

I am attempting to download iOs6 for my iphone, and it is prompting me to first download itunes 10.6.3. However, when I click "download itunes" I am brought to the software updates window, and am prompted that there are no new updates for my computer! I have tried to do this from both the apple drop down and itunes. When I attempt to download iOs6 on my phone, I am not connected to a suitable wireless connection (yay college campuses) so I cannot do it that way either. Anyone have a solution for downloading itunes? I have restarted my computer multiple times! Thanks!

It go thru the whole install and bails at the end with this error:
" There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor ."
What does that mean exactly?
How am i suppose to manage my brand new apple devices that have old os on them that need to be updated to ios5 when the path to ios5 " Itunes 10.5" wont load?
Apple what do I do?

Every time I open up Pages, it tells me I have an update, but when I open Software Update, it says everything is up to date. Whats wrong here?

So when I open Pages, it says there's an update, and it asks me if I want to go to Software Update to check it out. So it opens, it loads, and tells me everything is up to date, no updates. Am I missing something? I have Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)

There didnt seem to be one.
No, it wasnt. It didnt say "installed" where the price for the app would usually be located.
But I did manage to get it all fixed at an Apple Store. Turns out the disk had some issues installing it. We reinstalled it again and this time around was successful. Now whenever there's an update it should go through the app store no problem.
Thank you!

I just bought the new iPhone, but it does not sync to my Macbook iTunes because it says I need at least a 10.6.8 software update. My computer is stuck on 10.5.8, however, and my laptop does not say that there are any software updates available.

I tried researching it online, and I think that my computer might be too old to get new software updated on it - I bought it either in 2007 or 2008. I just think that it seems unfair that I have to buy a whole new computer just to put my music and other things on my new iPhone. What should I do? I can't even buy the software update for Mountain Lion because it requires you to already have a 10.6 and I only have a 10.5.8. This is the most frustrating thing ever!

Check the link below for requirements and instructions for upgrading to Snow Leopard (10.6)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

HT1338 ok so i know that my computer needs to be updated but I do the software update and it say there are no current updates I have not updated my computer in a long time

ok so I have not updated my computer in a long time and I go to the apple icon in the upper left hand corner of my computer and click on it and then click on softwear updates and it runs and says there are no updates.

You have to buy the next OS X version. Free updates are only available for the version you have. Since you're posting here, assume you want to upgrade to at least OS X 10.6? Or further?
Call the Apple online store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE, or you can also order online from them too. OS X 10.6 is only available on DVD, not download. Get it, install, do Software Updates until no more are available. Done. You probably already have at least 1GB of memory, and some spare disk space to install it. Of course, backup first.
If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.8, see these requirements to see if your system is able to. Note the minimum memory is 2GB, however, 4GB is recommended. Assuming your system can run Mountain Lion, you can upgrade directly from OS X 10.6 to OS X 10.8. You don't need to upgrade to OS X 10.7 as an interim step. OS X 10.8 is downloadable from the App store.
If you want to upgrade to OS X 10.7, after you upgrade to OS X 10.6, call the online Apple store again to purchase a download code, then download from the App store.

Iphoto won't load an gives me a message box that states that it is being updated, but there are no updates available

The new update for iphoto has locked my app up and I now can't access iphoto. I've restarted and turned off and rebooted, but the software is still locked up with the error message that it is updating.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

TS3408 why will some websites which loaded fine before now not load - when other favourites load fine, and new searches are fine? This only affects 2 websites, both of which were bookmarked. I have removed them as bookmarks and this makes no difference.

From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

PLUG INS check tells me that Shockwave Flash plugin is outdated. But when I check on Adobe website, I have the current version of this plugin (11.3.300.257)

PLUG INS check tells me that Shockwave Flash plugin is outdated. But when I check on Adobe website, I have the current version of this plugin (11.3.300.257)
I saw similar posts, but none recent.

I'm having the same issue...
According to the Shockwave homepage, I have the lastest version installed. It's only when I visit the Firefox plug-in update page, that I'm told it's outdated.

why does my phone tell me that when after updating ios 5.1 that an error has ocurred,ive tried 3 times and im still getting the same message?

Call Apple in the morning.
Possibility could have been you had caps lock on entering your security answer either now or when you set it up from the beginning.
Apple will help you out and you will be in good shape.
If you are not into phone calls then try to make an appointment at your local Apple store and they can fix it for you in no time.
