Why won't 9.7 upgrade to10.8?

Why won't 9.7 upgrade to 10.8? I checked for software updates and it says no available updates available.

You have to purchase 10.8 - it doesn't come as a free update.
Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Why won't osx mavericks upgrade or download

    Spent two days trying to upgrade. Backed up system, cleaned system, repaired disk permission, still nothing. Other than too many people trying to download/upgrade, why won't OSX Mav work?
    Upon first try, apps appeared on desktop as if it was upgrading, but no download/upgrade window.

    Now have tried changing DNS to Google, after reading other discussion posts. Free Upgrade button is green for a split second, and then button becomes gray and reads Download. Is this the problem, that it needs to be green indicating it's available, as with the very first try?

  • Why won't my MacBook upgrade to OS X Mavericks?

    I just purchased a MacBook pro that is about 4 years old and is running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8, I have read that my Mac should be compatible for an upgrade to Mavericks but went to the app store to purchase it and it didn't work. It says that my processor isn't compatible, but I read that my version of MacBook Pro should be able to upgrade to Mavericks. Why won't it let me upgrade? and also, if I can't upgrade, is this the best software that is compatible for my Mac?

    If you can upgrade, check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

  • Why won't the Muse upgrade publish correctly?

    can a muse site name be changed after its gone live?

    You can change the name of your site anytime - in trial, when upgraded and live - anytime before it is deleted.
    For that, you can log into your Partner Portal, go to My Sites, select the site and in the Site Details page, go to System and Secure URL section to change the URL or click the [change] link to change the site name.
    Thanks,
    Vikas

  • Why won't the voluntary upgrades load and execute?

    About once a week I get a Firefox-generated message asking me to upgrade or accept an update. Then the status bar displays on the screen saying that it's being loaded. That will go on for hours, with no progress.
    Should I download a fresh copy of Firefox 4, and will I get instructions?

    Cor-el wrote: "Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall"
    Okay.... I'll bite... What is a "plugin-container" and where are the "rules" to be found? I know this is hard to believe, but not everyone came out of the womb clutching a mouse and a keyboard!

  • Why won't my iPhoto upgrade since updating to iOS X Yosemite?

    I have a Desktop iMAC OS X Snow Leopard. Recently I updated it to OS X Yosemite after receiving an email from Apple encouraging me to do so. The problem that I now have is with my iPhoto. It will not open because the version installed on my MAC is not compatible with iOS X Yosemite. I am then prompted to update to the newer version of iPhoto. This is the message that I am receiving when I attempt to update: "
    Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
    This update is not available for this Apple ID
    either because it was bought by a different user
    or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    The computer is in my name, and I have the only Apple ID.
    I was told that the problem MAY stem from going from Snow Leopard directly to Yosemite. I never updated to Lion or Maverick. I can't tell you what version my iPhoto is, because I can't open it. It came already installed on Snow Leopard if that helps. I was also told that it could be an Apple server.  It's been 6 days. Has anyone ever received this message?

    Contact the App Store support personnel via this link: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/.  Only they can help you with this particular issue.

  • HT5704 Why won't my iPod upgrade?!

    For some unknown reason, everytime I try to update my iPod 4th generation it says something like: "IOS 6.1.3 cannot download because you have lost connection with the Internet." But I have perfect wifi for everything else? Please help. Thank you.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Why won't my computer let Itunes download the update

    Why won't my computer upgrade from 10.7.0.21 to 11.0.1 on windows XP?

    Using the software update function, upgrade your Operating System to 10.6.8, and download the appropriate version of iTunes.

  • ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

    iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
    When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows  installer package. Contact the package vendor".
    It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
    Any smarts out there who could help?
    Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
    Thanks much

    I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience.  I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP.  I think I was stuck on 10. 
    I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app.  I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found.  I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs.  Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it.  After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
    I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer.  I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

  • Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1.  My other phone still at 6.0.1 is detected just fine.

    Why won't my Mac detect my iPhone 4 which was just upgraded to iOS 6.1.  My other iPhone 4 is still at 6.0.1 and is detected just fine.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Everything was working ok before the upgrade and still works except for the detection.  Coincidence?

    After 4 updates to Xcode it started to connect again.  Now it's working fine.

  • Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    Why won't some of my songs play after upgrade to IOS5?

    I'm confirming that after trying several other ideas, the steps outlined here by S.E.A. and Amelia P. worked perfectly. For those of you having problems with certain songs not playing, or the wrong song playing, follow their "unsynch" "resynch" process. A few notes:
    Before starting, I was confident that iOS 5, iTunes 10.5, and Mac OS X 10.7.2 were all up-to-date and functioning correctly.
    After selecting my Device in iTunes (an iPhone 4S in my case), then selecting the "Music" tab and unchecking "Sync Music", be sure that it actually Applies the new settings (force a synch to be sure).
    After this step, most of the songs disappeared from my device (including all of the corrupted ones) but not all songs (perhaps it left those that I purchased directly on the device?). In any case, don't worry about these. Just re-check the boxes you unchecked and then be sure to force a synch again. It should take a while to complete if you've got a lot of music.
    Perfection!
