Why won't OSX update to current version?

I have OSX version 10.6.8. When I run software update, it tells me my software is up to date. On my other Macbook Pro, I have 10.9.4. I realize that I will have to run a series of updates to get from 10.6 to 10.9 but why won't software update allow me to update to the next OS version in the sequence?

Because Mavericks is a full version upgrade and not an update; it needs to be downloaded from the Mac App Store, which will take a compatible Mac directly to 10.9.4.

Why won't OSX update? I checked file permissions, NG.

When I try to update OSX, I keep getting an error message. I have done a clean reinstall on the OS, used Disk Utilities to check the HD and verify file permissions. When verifying file permissions, all kinds of new permissions are granted. I don't understand these or where else to look for help, as updates still won't install.
Is this worth pursuing, or do I have a HD or logic board problem here?

Did you verify file permissions or repair file permissions? The latter is what you need to do. Have you tried it with the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update?

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 Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

why won't Numbers update free, when my other iWork apps have update for free?

I'm not sure if this answers your question. I will update them in iTunes. Then I will connect my phone and in the phone controls I can click the "Update" button and it will change to "Will Update" but doesn't.
That's part of the problem. Once upon a time, iTunes would just automatically update apps from the computer to the phone and now it apparently requires prompting that doesn't work.

The only way to do that is to purchase the current version at the Mac App Store.

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages other than imessages?

Why won't Apple update its iPAD to send messages to phones with systems other and OS? I just purchased an ipad4 for my husband. This limitation is very frustrating. When I purchased and ipad3, I was told how to make the message go through as an SMS; however, this never worked. Had it not been for the fact that my husband has an iphone5 and getting an ipad with the same operating sytem simplifies things for him, it may have been better to get an Android tablet and switch phones!

I understand that, but it does have a message system, so it makes sense that you should be able to receive ALL messages via this system. I do have a phone and I can get them all, but if I sit down at the ipad to check messages, I only get those sent through imessage. Sorry, I'm venting and you probably can't do anything about it. Apple needs to wake up and figure out that if it doesn't change its protocol on the ipad, then people will switch to another system that does. Hoping that someone from Apple sees this.

App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.

App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version. My Mac has Iworks from a disc but I can't seem to update to the latest version of Number, Keynote or pages in the App store. The app store identifies the applications as installed but doesn't update them since they were installed from Iworks disc.

all the ICloud numbers spreadsheet pages are now gone. How do I get them back?
Do you mean you were storing the documents in iCloud and now you can't see them from Numbers? If so, you probably need to check to see that iCloud is configured to work with Numbers.
Here in System Preferences > iCloud make sure 'Documents and Data' is checked:
And, after clicking 'Options...', make sure that 'Numbers.app' is checked.
You should be able to see the documents in iCloud when you go up to the title bar at the top of the screen and choose 'iCloud' in the 'Where:' dropdown:

Updated to current version and it won't start up. sqlite3.dll not found. Try to reinstall. I have tried many times unsuccessfully. What is the fix?

A pop-up told me to update to the current version. I did. Installation completes successfully. When I try to run the program, open a browser window after installation, I get an error that says sqlite3.dll not found, try to reinstall the program. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling about a dozen times over the last few days, and I always get the same error.

Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
Let us know how you get on.

Why won't Internet Explorer display current PDF page?

Why can't my computer's Internet Explorer display the current PDF page?

Dear acro123,
    I fixed the problem! I un-installed two different adobe programs (the current ver.11 and an old ver. 5, which I think caused the problems), went to the registry and removed all folders pertaining to the adobe programs, and decided to re-install the current version (ver.11) for a clean install. This seams to do the trick. Thank you for your concern. By the way it was Internet Explorer, running Windows XP and the Adobe versions were 11 and 5.
    Problem: An old page from April 21st kept showing up instead of a current updated webpage. It wouldn't update to the current page. My solution fixed it.
    Thank you!
Bob

Tabular form Update Error,"Current version of data in database has changed

I'm getting an error when updating a Apex Tabular form. It's complaining that the row id's are out-of-sync. The error reads,' Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current row version identifier = "56DW5A8A7EBA3B42073AE6E71480A784" application row version identifier = "99B52A15F10E34647E9E18B6B7AE8C30" .
Has anyone received this error? Any solutions? Note that the primary is being populated by a trigger. I have another tabular form for a different application that updates without issue, this however, uses a sequence to update the primary key.
Thanks,
James

Make sure that the form is defined such that it "knows" that the PK is being set by a trigger. Do not try to set it in the form if the trigger is doing it. Pretty much if a trigger attempt to modify any column that also was editable (including hidden columns) in the form, the two will conflict.
The other issue could be that do you have any items on the rows that are disabled? Disabled items are not sent to session state so Apex won't be able to properly compute the checksum and it'll find a discrepancy.

I am using the iPhone 6 updated to current version, and I cannot send photos to my Family via iCloud. When I first started the account 30 min. Ago I was able to send photos. Then for some reason I was not able to send or comment photos, what's wrong?

I opened a family iCloud sharing account recently, at first I was able to share photos but now all I can do is receive photos and comments. I currently have the iPhone 6 updated to the current version. Is there something wrong with my phon? I restarted it as well as checked all of my connections the wifi is fine, but all I can do is recieive photos and comments. What could possibly be wrong?

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

I would like to try FF5 without losing my current version. Can I update my current version of FF and install the update in a different directory so I can have two versions at the same time?

current version is 3.6.17

I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not? Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.
