Mac problem: How to upgrade to Mavericks?

I can't figure it out. I have a really old version of OS X and nothing is compatible with it, on the itunes app store I can only find iPhone and iPad apps but nothing when it comes to my desktop. I really just need my computer to be updated to where it will work with my iPhone but right now the iTunes version is so old along with the rest of my computer that it won't sync, and when I try to download a new version of the application it tells me my software version is too old. So it would be really helpful if someone were to walk me through how to download Maverick,

Also my software update notifier says there's no update available, so it's totally messed up.

Dear ipad owners…
Are you ready to get The Most out of your ipad?!

"I have a really old version of OS X" This is the REAL problem, if you have OS X Tiger (10.4.x) or Leopard (10.5.x), and you Really should have told us which one.

You MAY only be able to Upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.x), if you have less than 4 GB of RAM, and you'll have to order the Upgrade directly from Apple (1-800-my-APPLE).

Once done, you may be able to get the latest version of iTunes (version 11), but, Apple can tell you if your old Mac can even run OS X Lion (10.7.x), or Mountain Lion (10.8.x), or the FREE Mavericks (10.9.x), and all will cost you about $ 29 each, plus hardware Upgrades.

TIP: Snow Leopard is required to find Apps like iTunes 11, from the "new" Mac App Store, ONLY included with Snow Leopard and up.

  • OS X Mavericks on Windows 7. Will iMessage Work? Yo Guys, We all know about apple. I've dropped my iPhone, and They said to come and collect it after a week, Since I use text for most, I'm feeling bit uncomfortable. So I know iMessages work in Mac and Macbook. Does the same work on windows when run using a Virtual Machine Software such as VMware? Using a cracked OS X Mavericks Image File? If you could help me, well Please! - GS
  • Mac and iPhone Wi-Fi connection problem? I use N600 netgear router at home and sometimes Wi-Fi fails to log on. I do not get any message from the system. It just logs off. Not just my Macbook air, it happens to my iphone as well. But when I restart my modem and router, I'm able to connect to internet again. Does anyone have solution for this? Or should I use certain setting when I set up the router?
