Ok here is the scoop, Go to the Black Apple and make sure your Software is Up to Date  Then go to the App's Store and then you can Download Mavericks and after you do be sure to do a Software Update again and it will download Mavericks 10.9.2

  • Why has my apple tv stopped home sharing after the recent update

    My whole network was fine until I updated my ATV last week. After this update the homesharing 'library' stops being visible from my pc after 3 minutes. Ive disabled the wireless and used Ethernet instead but with the same results. I have a BT home hub 3 and have reset the router but with no joy .... Please help !

    Try power cycling the ATV.
    If the issue persists, try providing some more details of the issue such as what video, all, specific apps, etc.

    do a reset. hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

  • Why Firefox does not start the Lync online meeting anymore when updated to the version 21.0?

    The version 20 worked well. Now the one and only choise is "Get me out of here". I renew the certificate but even "I understand the risks" did not help in the version 21. Now I have to run IE to get the online meeting opened.

    hello Seppva, please try this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''plugins.load_appdir_plugins'''. double-click it and change its value to '''true''' (a restart of the browser might be necessary afterwards for the change to take effect).
    some background on the issue is explained in http://www.ghacks.net/2013/05/15/why-you-may-have-lost-access-to-plugins-or-extensions-in-firefox-21/

  • Why my mac os x v 10.3.9 cannot be updated to tiger version?

    Hi everyone
    Previously i had updated my mac os x 10.3.9 to tiger os x 10.4 by inserting the dvd i had received with its purchase, & everything was updated fine with no problem.
    Recently i reinstalled & erased everything with the software install and restore I had received when I had purchased Powerbook g4.
    Now, when I insert Mac os x 10.4 install disk by keeping down the c key as I am told to do so, takes me to the install screene fine, but when I click restart key, after sometime a black sceene appears with some jeberish things i don't understand except in one line I am asked to turn off the power. When I do that I manage to go back to my original version of mac os x. So I am unable to use the new features of tiger. Can any one tell me what i am doing wrong and help me how to sort out this? thank you, faruk.

    My appology to you, ali & others if I was unable to clearly identify the process of installation. this is what has happened:
    1. In november 2004 I bought a powerbook g4 directly from apple which came with two software install and restore with apple label on them: 2004 apple Computer, Inc
    [on them you can see Mac label and say: To start up from Mac os x on this dvd, hold down the c key as the computer startup. Under this line you see: Mac os x version 10.3.4, aht version2.2, dvd version1.0: 691-5096-a]. I used 10.3.4 version to install the files. Subsequently, I updated it and became 10.3.9.
    2. This year, 2007, I purchased Mac OS version 10.4.10 to add more features. With the tow mac os x install disks I upgraded v10.3.9, all was well and fine until now.
    3. The computer was running low in memory and was crowded with files I didn't want. So I used
    mac os x v10.3.4 (the original sofware install and restore) and erased everything following the instructions. What was installed had only the orginal features only. So I decided to use mac os version 10.4.10. Instead of getting the new features, now I get kernel panic as you have noticed. The computer runs ok but without the new features of v10. 4.10 although I see some strange behavior in safari (which suddenly crash for no obvious reason. Thank for your assistance. I just wonder if you or the v 5 could solve this problem.

  • Why does itunes not show up my phone and i cant update apps?

    i need help. cant update apps and itunes doesnt show up my iphone on the page so i cant do it... what should i do?!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Why have reminders and calendars stopped syncing automatically?

    why have reminders and calendars stopped syncing automatically?

    If you upgraded the iOS version on them to iOS 7, and you haven't upgraded your iTunes to at least 11.1 then that could be the cause of your issues.

    In the last week my Imac (OS Lion) has started opening two to seven programs every time I log in.  Why?  How do I stop it?  I think it started after I was led to do something I can't remember with Terminal.app.

    If they have open windows/documents from your last use of the application, try going to System Preferences/General and check the 'Close windows when quitting application'.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why does imac G5 eject leopard install disk

    Why does imac G5 eject leopard install disk?  I'm trying to help my father get online to read the newspaper using an iMac G5 1.8 GHz 17".  I've installed a new hard drive and reinstalled software and rus software updates until I've reached 10.4.11 and the lovely "your software is up to date" message.  When I put in the Leopard 10.5.1 Install DVD, it auto ejects within 15 seconds and never gets mounted and never shows on desktop.  When I place the same DVD in my Intel MacBook Pro running 10.6.8, the disk mounts and the install window opens as usual.  Any suggestions on what i'm missing here? thanks

  • Why does my video keep stopping at all stages as i'm watching a video

    why does my video keeping stopping at all times

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • TS3700 why does my ipod suddenly stop playing

    Why does my ipod suddenly stop playing?

    is your battery charged?  How many songs do you have on the playlist (if you are playing a  playlist when it stops)?   I know that when the earbud wires are accidentally disconnected from the ipod body, the music stops automatically.
