I know this might be a stupid question but would I have my data removed after upgrading my iMac (2012) to OSX Mavericks from my current version? (OSX mountain lion)

I do not have any CD ROM or hard disk for saving my data in my mac. Would it be safe for me to directly upgrade to osx Mavericks? Sorry for my poor english btw

You are an accident waiting to happen!!!!!  Backing up data
is extremely important as anything may happen at any time.
Relying on a single electronic copy of your data is not a good
idea at all!!
Now of course, if all your data on your computer has absolutely
no meaning to you, then there is no need to backup.

I'm using my brothers computer, who has an IPod too, so now I'm wondering when I set up my ID with his Itunes does his Ipod still work with it??? Or would his ITunes just see my IPod? Or does his Ipod ID change to my ID?
    Or does it work without any problems, to setup two IDs on the same computer??
    Thanks!

  • This might be a stupid question but....

    Is the Mac Mini with the 9400M video card powerful enough to run final cut studio? I'm using the previous model mac mini to use FCE but I'd really like to get into learning the programs in final cut studio but I dont have the money to spend on the iMac or the Macbook Pro.

    Here is what I found on the Product page for the software you asked about:

    * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of RAM (2GB of RAM recommended for working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources; 4GB of RAM recommended for working with uncompressed HD sources)
    * ATI or NVIDIA graphics processor (integrated Intel graphics processors not supported)
    * 128MB of VRAM
    * Display with 1280-by-800 resolution or higher
    * Mac OS X v10.5.6 or later
    * QuickTime 7.6 or later
    * DVD drive for installation
    Available Disk Space
    * 4GB of disk space required for applications
    * 46GB of disk space required for optional content:
    - 9GB for DVD Studio Pro content
    - 7GB for Motion templates
    - 22GB for audio content

  • This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    This is probably a stupid question, but what does the red circle with a number in it mean on iCal? It looks just like the emails notification. I do not have anything do or up in my cal.

    Actually, another person on the "more like this" had the right answer. It meant I had a notification for an invite that I needed to respond to.
    Hope this helps you as much as it helped me.

  • Hello, this might be a basic question, but how do you open QuickTime to record a new webinar? I have a new MacBook Pro with Yosemite and can only get QuickTime to appear in Finder but not actually open to allow me to record something new. Thx.

  • This may be a stupid question, but....

    So, once the media gets put on the iPod (music, movies, whatever)
    That's it, right? Dead End? You can't load it back into iTunes? or transfer it to another computer... right?
    Here's why I'm asking. I just spent a week ripping all of my cd's onto my new iPod (Xmas gift) and would not necessarily want to keep all of those tunes in my iTunes folder on the computer. So, all the music is on the iPod, but the iTunes library is empty. If I wanted to put a song back into iTunes from my iPod, could I do that?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    There are software on the market that does this (Anyone?), but if you have iTunes on manual update and then connect your iPod you will be ok. You can go to "My computer" and "Tools". Then allow for hidden files to be shown. When you connect your iPod you will have this as an external drive and you can copy the files to your computer and then pick them up by iTunes. However it is very IMPORTANT that you did not leave it on automatic update. Then you will loose everything on your iPod when connecting it. The best thing to do if you do not have enough space on your computer is to buy an external hardrive that you can connect through the USB. This is fairly low priced these days and you will have your music and videos even if your computer breaks down.

      Windows XP  

    From you description, it sounds like you were using "1-click" to purchase & somehow switched to "shopping cart" for your purchases. If you want to go back to 1-click, go to your iTunes preference>store tab, the top section of the store tab is where you indicate which method you want to use to purchase your music.

  • I Know this is a really stupid question

    Installed Final Cut Studio yesterday and I can't for the life of me find where to open Final Cut Pro. Is it located in some strange place or was my installation messed up. Does it magically open with something else. Please help. I am new to Mac's and just trying to figure what the heck I am doing. Any advise would be great.

  • This might be a dopey question, but...

    Absolutely needing to work with images on a server, the update to 10.4.6 and it's issues with Photoshop, is giving my co-worker a headache.
    If he archives and installs, to 10.4 are the updates to 10.4.5 still available?
    I did a quick search of the main support site and found only 10.4.6.
    Will he be stuck in 10.4 until 10.4.7?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    -Vincent

    Hi, Vincent.
    Before performing a downgrade install as you're considering, I'd spend some time trying to solve the problem, particularly checking the Adobe knowledge base or the Adobe forums for Photoshop. It would also help if you'd specify the version of Photoshop that's having the problem and if all appropriate updates to that version of Photoshop have been applied.
    Downgrade installs can be very dodgy. Apple does not recommend them, as they note in the "About 'Downgrade' installations" section at the end of "Mac OS X: Troubleshooting installation and software updates." Additional information about why downgrade installs are problematic can be found in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
    If you want to try a downgrade install to 10.4.5 from 10.4.6, you can see my "General advice on performing an Archive and Install" FAQ. In step (4b), install the Mac OS X 10.4.5 Combo Update, then follow the rest of the steps. Note that:• Downgrade installs are performed at your own risk. While the downgrade method outlined above has worked for many, Apple does not recommend downgrade installations and one cannot account for how variances between individual users' systems may affect the outcome. Again, use at your own risk: you break it, you fix it.
    • I would only test third-party applications in Step 5 as Apple apps are likely to run into the issues with the Previous Systems folder noted in "Applications don't work after reinstalling Mac OS X."
    • Apple apps should be safe to test after Step 6, but you may still run into problems due to 10.4.6-related changes in preferences files in your Home > Library > Preferences folder. Discarding the preferences files for Apple applications that are problematic after a downgrade install may solve the problem with those applications.Good luck!

  • I know this may be a lame question, but can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser and gmail account?

    I don't presently have firefox browser and have been very comfortable with Chrome for years now; can I use Thunderbird with my Chrome browser? I want to manage a large mailing list for a non-profit group that wants me to use Thunderbird.
    thank you,
    Reuben

    If you got someone else email than that's a BIG error and it has nothing to do with whatever client you are using. You send your credentials to gmail and they connected to another account, not even Google would like to do that.
    Either you send the wrong credentials and then you happend to have the same password as this other account. Try using webmail on that account.
    Change your password!!! If you can access that account he/she can access yours.
