Will Individual ML Apps Be Released for Unsupported Macs?

I have an unsupported iMac. The machine's "birth" date is six months prior to the mid-2007 cut-off Apple established. I noticed Safari 6 came through with today's update of Lion. I realize this machine won't run the full 10.8 OS, but could Apple release individual applications, such as Safari, Messages, Contacts for those of us left in the cold? It would seem to be the perfect middle ground stance to take.

They could do that, yes. But it is unlikely they will.
I wouldn't be surprised if Safari 6 is released for older Macs, but I highly doubt any of the other Mountain Lion applications will be released seperately.
Essentially Apple...
A) Doesn't want to spend the money making sure older Macs work on their new software.... and...
B) They want to encourage you to upgrade... so you spend more money.
The only way I see the Mountain Lion applications being released for Lion is if they put a price-tag on it, but again... I wouldn't get your hopes up.

    Well that's fine, but Adobe generally doesn't read this forum, and "feature requests" don't belong in this forum either.
    Feature requests belong here: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    By the way, I'd be willing to bet a huge amount of money that Adobe already knows there is demand for Android support, they're not totally clueless there even though some people think they are clueless

    That is a question that you need to contact the developer of the app and ask. Apple is not here to answer your questions. Everyone here is a user of Apple products, we do not have answers to this type of question.

  • HT2589 My new ipad air will not download apps or ask for my itunes account info when I do try to download or purchase an app.

    Just added the new ipad air to my itunes account. When I go to purchase or download apps it will not ask for my itunes account info, a grey box appears on my main screen with "waiting" under it and in the "app store" it will show the app that i chose with a constant spinning circle. Any ideas?

    The iCloud account has nothing to do with downloading apps over wireless, but if you do not have an iCloud account you can delete that account information if you want to do so.  Do you have other use of WiFi with the iPad?  It is connecting and working correctly for email and such?
    You could try going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings and then re-select the WiFi network and enter the password again...then do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    All of that may clear problems of a minor nature.

  • Will there be a midnight release for Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword?

    I was looking in the best buy ads and saw that there was no ad about Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. I was wondering if anyone happens to know if there will be a midnight release for all of the stores, or just select stores. Thank you in advance.

    Hello kbowman,
    Welcome to the forum!
    I looked into this and it does not look like we are doing a midnight release for Zelda. The game comes out on 11/20 so I recommend heading to the store when they open. I hope this helps!

  • When will a free app that allows for me to read on my mac like on my iPad be available?

    I recently bought a 13 inch macbook air, and I was thrilled. Now, I have to read the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for school. I got the book on my iPad for free on my iBooks app, but when I realized that my dad would need my iPad for work more often, I went onto the app store for my macbook and I was very surprised to find that there wasn't an iBooks for mac. I was fully aware of the fact when I bought my macbook that there wouldn't be any "decent games" on the app store for the mac, but I never imagined that there wouldn't be an iBooks! Does anyone know a FREE app that can take the place of iBooks on the app store for macbooks?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    There are many folks who feel as you do, wondering why Apple doesn't have an equivalent to iBooks for the Mac. Many other eBook formats; Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Zinio, etc have reader apps to read the books on both Macs and iOS devices.
    This will help with this one problem, here is a link to another free electronic version of your book that comes in formats that can be read on your Mac;
    http://www.free-ebooks.net/ebook/The-Strange-Case-of-Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde
    You may have to open a free membership with free-ebooks.net to download your preferred format. I would go for the pdf, which you can read on your Mac, but also in an app on your iOS devices as well.

    Recommendations
    Update your Apple devices and systems as soon as possible to the latest available versions. Do not use untrusted networks (especially WiFi) while traveling, until you can update the devices from a trusted network. On unpatched mobile and laptop devices, set “Ask to Join Networks” setting to OFF, which will prevent them from showing prompts to connect to untrusted networks.

  • When or where will the turbo tax app be released for 2011 tax return season?

    I cannot find an app for the tubo tax software. I've done some research & all I could gather was that the last time turbo tax had a app was earlier in 2011, and I need an app to file my taxes in 2012 for 2011. If anyone knows when the app may be released? Let me know......

    I have already received the TT application for 2012 filing.
    Have you checked at their website?

  • When will the iBook app be available for Mac OS X

    This to me seems like a no brainer.....   iBooks should be available on all Mac OS'.  Just seems silly that I can read it on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac.  What is Apple waiting for and when will it be available.
    B

    No one here would have any idea when or if Apple is planning on releasing an iBook app/reader for OS X.
    But I do agree with you. I would like to be able to read them on my Mac as well.

  • When will all the apps be optimized for Iphone 5 ?

    I heared that for some apps, if you are using the Iphone 5, you would have a black blank as if you are using the 4 or 4s.

    It's up to the app developers to decide if and when to release any upgrades for their products.

  • When will LR 4.4 be released via the Mac App Store

    I purchased and downloaded LR 4 through the app store.  The 4.4 updater from Adobe launches and runs but doesn't install anything.  I'm presuming I have to wait for the update to percolate through the app store?  When can I expect this to happen? 

    It depends on how long Apple takes to review it.  For 4.3 I think it was a couple weeks?  So maybe 0.5-3 weeks would be a good guess.  Neither Apple nor Adobe will say anything before it's out, so you need to sit tight.
