Does anyone else think that the AppleMac group of products are marketed in a greedy way? I have MacBook Pro 10.5.8 with Leopard and am now told that I have to upgrade to Snow Leopard so that my system can download the relevant iTunes upgrade to sync my new iPad and get my audiobooks (which don't appear anywhere on the device right now). Of course there isn't enough memory on the MacBook and Snow Leopard costs more also? I don't have financial resources to pay for all the new memory requirement and related upgrades they say I need just to sync my iPad with my purchases.

Thanks for the reply but I already knew this. $20 for Snow Leopard which asks for 5gb free memory. I can only see that I have 4 gb (which I feel is rather a pathetic amount of available memory for any computer). To upgrade this computer's memory will cost another fee (I haven't researched this yet but gather it's more than $20). Then of course I could also be told that the OSX Mackbook Pro that I have can't be memory upgraded - which means I'm being told to buy a new computer - hence my very frustrated last email. I have been given a lovely iPad 2 as a present and now can't sync at all with anything because of this ongoing upgrade nightmare. How on earth am I going to be able to sync my movies, audiobooks etc to this new device??

Hi,
Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
and then do a Restore as New...
i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
Cheers,

Does anyone else think you should be able to import a DVD using itunes? Just like you would with a CD? I think itunes needs to get with the times...

If you're referrring to commercial DVDs, the problem with that is that they're copy-protected. Apple would have to build in decoding of the copy protection into iTunes and get licenses from the DVD producers to allow DVDs to be imported, something they're unlikely to grant, though we can hope that at some point the content owners will be flexible enough to allow it.

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

HT1535 When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying it can not sync because there is not enough memory in the itunes library. Do I need to increase the memory in my itunes library and how?

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

install 6.5 before proceeding further. I coud not understand.
Just what it says - install os 10.6.5 before proceeding further. You can either do so through Software Update or use the Combo update from Apple's download site.
You should repair permissions and restart your computer prior to updating and upgrading.

I'm trying a full restore in Lion, but it won't. States that there isn't enough space on the Mac HD. How do I restore everything from a recent Time Machine Backup?

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

A Mac OS 10.6 retail DVD can be obtained for only $20. Of course that depends on where you live, but if available to you, it is a reasonable price, and will solve your current problem.

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

The i tune music library cannot be saved because there isn't enough memory available. (but there is more than enough)

Please some help
thank you !!

For resolving your issue, you are able to do as the followings :
1.Close any SkyDrive related process
2.Open a command prompt (not PowerShell), and change to the directory where Microsoft Office 2013 is installed by typing the command below:
cd C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\
3.Then type “groove.exe /clean /all” to clear all SkyDrive Pro cache and settings, setting it back to default again

The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available

Illustrator CS5 Verison 15.1 on a MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. Illustrator opens .ai and .pdf files. When I try to open a .dwg file, I get the following message, “The operation cannot complete because there isn’t enough memory (RAM) available”. I have been using the program for some time to successfully open .dwg files. This is a recent occurrence and I have not made any changes to the hard drive other than installing OS 10.9

Have you already opened that specific file at some former time?
Have you already tried a restart?
Apart from that:
Illustrator CS5 cannot use more than 3 GB of RAM, no matter how much is installed. OS 10.9 causes all kinds of problem even with newer versions of Illustrator.

Ai - The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available.

Hi I got this message "The operation cannot complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available." when I was trying to scale the image or transform it to 3D. I just signed up for Adobe Creative Cloud a few days ago. Please help. Thank you.

"Can't copy the type. There isn't enough memory. ID=-108"

I'm running Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop, iTunes and Suitcase. In Illustrator I get an error: "Can't copy the type. There isn't enough memory. ID=-108"
How is this possible with 4gb of ram and 242 gb available on my hard drive? Is my new MBP a lemon?

Illustrator itself it's what's short of memory, these tips apply to After Effects and the same error message so see if you can apply them in Illustrator.

Dont Judge - I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. My computer is performing so much faster. Is this because of the upgrade? Also, what is the name of the latest software, please.

After a long time, I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard. My computer is seemingly running so much faster, could this be because of the upgrade? The reason it took me so long in the first place is I could not find the location to delete all the used memory. I happened to luck upon a place just the other day that said "all media". From there I was able to go through and get rid of approximately 15GB worth of memory. My computer has been saving multiple copies of all my images. I do not know how to make this stop happening. Has anyone had this experience?

10.6 is faster than 10.5 because of updated video drivers, however the machine will slow down if you upgrade OS X past 10.6.8 as 10.7 and 10.8 are more hardware demanding operating system verisons.
Also 10.7 and 10.8 will not run your PPC based software or older Intel software, requiring all new purchases.
From there I was able to go through and get rid of approximately 15GB worth of memory
What you did was free up 15GB of storage space on your boot drive which if a boot hard drive is getting near full will slow down the comptuers performance. Ideally it's best to stay under 50% filled, but never more than about 80%.
Your "memory" actually refers to the RAM which the processor uses as temporary storage space while it works on things.
Why is my computer slow?
My computer has been saving multiple copies of all my images. I do not know how to make this stop happening. Has anyone had this experience?
Sometimes the duplicates are actually thumbnails, or tiny versions for rapid display in programs like iPhoto with the smaller images to preview before you click the larger version, so they will always be recreated.
Hopefully you didn't delete the original larger files by accident.
The "All Images" is particularly dangerous if not used wisely.
Also it might have been you forget and duplicated the images at one time or another.
