Why do the upgrades from OS X 10.3.6 to OS X 10.6.8 keep my computer freezing?

Hi,
I understand that I should get some Apple Hardware Tests to solve freezing applications problems I already had before upgrading to Lion to Leopard to mountain lion.
I do not succeed to follow the directions I've been provided i.e. turn off the computer, and press the D key before the screen turns grey.
From there, I keep on coming back to my starting screen as if I had pressed nothing, or too late.
Any suggestion?  I start to lose it.
Thanks.

You posted in the OS 10.3 and earlier forum instead of the Leopard OS 10.5 forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.
 Cheers, Tom

    Are you using Chrome? I noticed these errors on Adobe's website redesign using Chrome. Try a different browser.

  • HT201364 why is it taking so long to download the upgrade from snow leopard v10.6.8 to os x mavericks?

    Why is it taking so long to download the upgrade from snow leopard v10.6.8 to os X Mavericks?

    Because the file is over 5 GBs. If your internet service is slow then it can take a long time - several hours.

    If your contacts are not syncing with any external service, meaning that the contacts only exist on the iPhone, you may be able to take advantage of a particular iOS backup limitation.  Your backup does not contain all of your contacts*, so if you restore your iPhone and reload your backup, that may skim off the contacts that were loaded, but that of course may contacts that you want to leave on the iPhone.  You should use some sort of external contact manager eventually.
    *Apple is not entirely clear about local contacts and backups, and there is some disagreement among users here.  The article below states:
    Your contacts are part of the backup to preserve recent calls and favorites lists. To avoid any potential contact data loss, back up your contacts to a supported personal information manager (PIM) or another cloud-based service (such as Gmail or Microsoft Exchange).

  • Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?

    Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?  After 2 full hours I have downloaded 240 MB!
    I realize my Internet speed of 2.5 Mbit/sec is not blistering, but it is the fastest available to me at my rural location.  It easily manages 8 to 10 GBs of material from other sites.
    There are no other users on the system and no other downloads taking place.  I am using a wired connection (not WiFi).
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I am using iTunes and as I pointed out in my query, I am using the fastest connection available to me.
    From other sites a file of 1.31 GB would take me less than 40 minutes!

  • Why is the compatibility from CC to CS6 so poor?

    Why is the compatibility from CC to CS6 so poor at times? I've never had more issues with backwards compatibility that with CC Illustrator to any older version of Illustrator (specifically CS6, which is *only* 1 generation removed.) This is pretty surprising as compatibility issues with non-CC versions of Illustrator weren't as frequent, or fraught with errors and issues as they are with CC. I figure it's probably a not-so-subtle ploy to 'convince' (strong-arm in a very unprofessional fashion) everyone to upgrade to CC and get their monthly fees. I'm really quite frustrated, and very disappointed in the non-friendly manner in which CC software interacts (or, rather, doesn't) with older versions.

    A number of things, the first few that come to mind - opening CC files in CS6. Quite a number of issues with fonts (converting some fonts and fractions to outlines or a default 'box'), converting entire layouts to clipping masks, breaking layers apart and converting multiple artboard documents into multiple page PDF AI files (which is really weird) amongst other things...

  • Where can i find the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2?

    Hello there.
    Is the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2 still available out there somewhere? I know I'm a bit behind the rest of the world but financially I'm taking the 'do the best with what you can' route!
    Never used logic before, moving up from garageband and cubase sx cos everyone says it's a better program.
    Many thanks,
    GDx

    Hi
    If I remember correctly, the 7.2 update was a "Paid for" update, with a new dvd.... so you are most likely out of luck.
    The good news is that Logic Pro is pretty cheap on the Appstore

  • HT4972 This does not explain how to do the upgrade from IOS4 to 5. How do I do that?

    This does not explain how to do the upgrade from IOS4 to 5. How do I do that?
    I would be ideal to have a step by step approach I can follow.

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 2G can only go to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    A 4G to 6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

  • Where can I find the link to download the upgrade from 5 to Lightroom 6 (stand alone) version?

    Where can I find the link to download the upgrade from 5 to Lightroom 6 (stand alone) version?

    Just to be clear for others who might read this thread: There is a free trial available for both CC and standalone (perpetual license) customers.   The free trial for both sets of customers is called "CC"; but if at the end of the trial you want to convert to a standalone (perpetual) license, it's just as easy as with previous versions.  You pay $149 ($79 if upgrading), get a license key, and enter the key into the free trial.

  • Does the Mountain Lion upgrade include the upgrades from Lion?

    I was wondering if I should update to Mountain Lion, and I was wondering if it includes the upgrades from Lion as well?

    You only need one OS. I'd use Mountain Lion, but you should first figure out if you have any old programs that are not compatible with either Mountain Lion or Lion.
    Old PowerPC programs will not work on Lion or Mountain Lion.
    To view which programs you have that are PowerPC, hold down option key and select System Profiler from the Apple menu. Then, select Applications in the Software section. Click on the Kind column header to sort by kind. Look for programs that are PowerPC. Those won't work. If you need them, don't upgrade.
    Additionally, Roaring Apps has compatibility information for other software: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
