Why does it say my software is up to date when I am running OS X 10.7.4 ?

I have just bought this Macbook Pro but when I use the software updater is says my software is up to date, yet I am running 10.7.4
It wont download and install the latest version. How do I get it to update my software to the latest version?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

When you say "just bought", when did you buy it? New Macs should come with 10.8; the up-to-date program expired in August, I believe, but it's worth trying to enter your details here:

Regardless, you should still be able to get to 10.7.5 for free. Try the manual updater here:

  • Why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted?

    why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted< yes even the trash

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Why does iTunes say there's an unknown error (-54) when i try to sync my iPhone 5c into my computer?

    Everytime I try to sync my iPhone 5c onto my computer there's always a message that pops up and says there's an unknown error.  I have synced my iPhone to a new computer and have purchased new music on this computer.  I have previous music on my old computer which is still on my phone but i want that music off.  I just want to start over with the new music i got on this computer.  For some reason, the old music from my old computer won't show up on my new computer, but the old music shows up on my iPhone 5c.  I have no idea on how to delete the old songs.  My iPhone doesn't give me the option.  I'm thinking maybe the error has to do something with that. Any suggestions?

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • Why does PD says model doesn't exist in repository, when trying to check in

    Hi
    I have a checked out a PDM to my local directory.  I have made some changes and checked the model back into repository successfully.  Next day I had to make one more change to my local copy which i did (without doing an explicit checkout) now When i try to check it back in again, PD says model does not exist?  Is it a must that we always have to checkout before making a change ?
    attached are the screen shots of my local directory and from the repository.  How does PD determine whether or not a model exist in repository?
    thank you
    Krishna

    When a model exists in the repository, the model's metadata holds the unique identifier given to it by the repository; e.g. A89B0620-0379-482B-83C8-88B346BBF471.
    If your model is in a project, you can display the 'repository identifier' on model symbols in project diagrams, also in List Reports that contain models.
    A quick way of verifying that a model is in the repository is to look at the general tab on the model properties - it should have a 'repository' field alongside the 'version' field.
    When you check in the model, it uses this identifier to find the model in the repository. I have seen cases (in 16.5.0) where the checked-out model didn't have this identifier in the header information (visible if you open the model file in an XML editor - do NOT edit it), so it's listed as 'not in repository'.

  • Why does Settings say I have 1.7GB of messages, when the. Messages app is clear of all conversations?

    Very frustrating! I have restored, restarted, everything!

    Since CS6 is the current release, upgrading to CS5 is a near impossibility, and EVERYONE will need to upgrade in lockstep or you'll be worse off than you are now with users of your newer version creating files that cannot be opened by users of CS4 (and your CS4 packages won't automatically install the fonts in the documents in the later versions without manually changing the names of the packaged fonts folders).
    As far as font formats, if you are going to collaborate cross-platform, the font of choice is OpenType, which is 100% cross-platform compatible, and second choice is Windows TrueType which also can be installed on Mac OS X (so, essentially, also cross-platform). Last choice would be to use Windows Type1 which can be installed in the private InDesign Fonts folder in the Mac applications folder and will work in ID, but nowhere else. Any of these would allow everyone to use the same fonts, presuming you all purchase the same versions. Purchasing Windows versions and Mac versions of the same font usually works, but there may be little surprises, and you probbly don't want that.

  • Why does iPhoto say I'm not connected to Internet when I can access it with Safari?

    I've been having this situation crop up frequently of late.  I'm connected to the internet via wi-fi, all email programs and Safari are active, but when I attempt to add places or email a photo, I get this message and all options are grayed out.

    Lynda,
    You may want to post this in the iPhoto forums if no one here is able to assist.

  • Why does TM say the target drive is too small, when it's not?

    I have 100GB free on the firewire drive. The Mac HD, after excluding some folders and partitions, is 92GB. The TM backup starts and runs, but then the size of the backup progress bar keeps changing (reads, backing up 8GB of 8GB, then 8.1GB of 8.1GB, etc. It keeps growing...) Anyway, when it get to the end I get "TM quit unexpectedly because the size was too big" or some such nonsense. I have used this drive and set-up successfully many times, but now its acting up. Is there some 'rule' about having enough free space PLUS a certain amount of "extra?"
    Thanks!

    Yes, there is.
    TM adds about 20% to what it's going to back up for workspace it will need on the destination disk/partition. Usually, it won't even start backing-up if here isn't enough room.
    But your TM drive/partition should be 2-3 times the size of what it's backing-up, to allow for a reasonable "depth" of backups, so TM can keep copies of items you've deleted or changed (or that might have gotten corrupted) for a few weeks, at least.
    And if you have other data on that drive, it needs to be in a separate partition, as TM works best with it's own, exclusive space.
    There should be some better messages in your logs. Download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget from: http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/timemachinebuddy.html. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Copy and post the messages here (be sure to get them all, as sometimes they overflow the small window).

  • HT204380 Why does it say the other person is not available when they are. My kid can call me but I can't call them..

    I have an iPad 4 and they have an iPod 5 th generation. We have a wifi in the house. Getting ready to go away and want to make sure it works..

    If more than 1 device is using the same Apple ID this issue can happen using FaceTime.
