6gb use from 8gb upgrade

On the 2010 model macbook pro, only 6gb of the 8gb ram upgrade were useable. Is this the same case with the 2011 model?

I think you're confusing some earlier models which could only use 6GB with the more recent 2010 ones which could use 8GB - the latest ones (Feb 2011) can all use 8GB

Is their any other Processor better then a 2.9ghz intel core i7 that i could look into. I'm looking to make the computer faster & already upgraded the memory from 8GB to 16GB not realy noticing a difference

Is their any other Processor better then a 2.9GHZ Intel Core i7 that i could look into. I'm looking to make the computer faster & already upgraded the Ram from 8GB to 16GB and i'm really not noticing any difference actually it seems to be the same as it was before. Any help with this?

You will only notice a performance improvement if you haven't got enough RAM to use the applications you need. If you had a lot of free RAM before, you won't notice any difference now.
If you already have your computer, you can only replace the processor if you replace the logic board. Your computer requires a specific logic board, so you shouldn't replace it and you have to stay with the same processor. Apart from RAM, the only part you can upgrade is the hard drive. What will make an improvement is a SSD drive, if you haven't got one

Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my macbook Pro.

Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my Macbook Pro. I have turned off Bluetooth ( which was not an issue previously), uninstalled Chrome, again not an issue before I upgraded, and have not seen any improvement.
I was using an older OS system (Snow Leopard) on my 2010 Macbook Pro. I am wondering now if the upgrade was an unwise move?

jbuckworth,
which apps do you run under battery power? Are any of them identified as “apps using significant energy” when you click on the battery icon in the menu bar? If you have a 15-inch or 17-inch model, are your apps using the discrete GPU (which consumes more power than the integrated GPU)?
How many charge cycles has your battery accumulated?
How long have you had Mavericks installed? Is Spotlight still reïndexing your boot drive? (It does that whenever your OS is upgraded, because so many files change in an OS upgrade.)

I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. How do I fix this?

I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. I have connected via my computer and no pictures are shown. I have also gone into all my photo apps and no photos are saved. How do I resolved this?

If you deleted photos from the Camra Roll of the photos app they are not deleted immediately. Instead they are moved to the Recently Deleted album where they will remain for 30 days. This feature was added because so many people deleted photos then wanted then back.
To completely delete those photos quickly go to the Recently Deleted album and delete them from there.

Upgrading latest iMac 27" 5K retina from 8Gb to 16Gb

Can anyone tell me the right memory modules to buy to uprgade the latest (mid 2015) iMac Retina 5K from 8Gb to 16Gb total memory ? I presume it currently has 2 x 4Gb modules. So presumably I need to replace them with 2 x 8Gb modules ? ....but I am not sure which type or model. Is there a memory module known to work flawlessly with it ?? ....and the approx.cost in the UK ?? Thanks

Hello Chris,
Thanks for contacting us . This system has four slots for RAM, so you can leave the existing and add the 16GB kit (2-8GB modules). This would be the best for the long term. The 16GB kit we are recommending can be found here:

Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Maverick... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...

Hi! Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Mavericks like I was advised in the Apple/Switch store... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...???? Thanks for any guidance!

Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

Exchange ipod from 8GB to 16GB

Can I Exchange my ipod Touch from 8GB to 16GB in the Bluewater Apple store, what is their return policy for this, would I be allowed? I have opened and used it a few times, I also still have both the plastic seals on it

No. The Apple Store (and all retailers I know of, including Best Buy) have a strict policy on Apple products. If it has a problem they will bend over backwards to make it good, even tossing out the need for a sales receipt, but if you just "don't like it" and want to upgrade then you can expect a restocking fee at the Apple Store and a firm "No" from retailers like Best Buy.

Can i use my husbands upgrade for the iphone 6 promotion

My line is technically not eligible for upgrade, but my husbands line is (we are on a family plan with my mom). Last time I upgraded, they let me use my husbands upgrade since his was available. Can I do this for the iphone 6 promotion or will they not allow it?

Can I transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another?
If you have multiple devices on your account and one is eligible for an upgrade, you can transfer upgrade eligibility to another line on your account whenupgrading your device in My Verizon. When you transfer eligibility from one line to another, the original line is no longer eligible for the upgrade discount.
To transfer upgrade eligibility from one line to another line on your account:Go to the Upgrade Device page in My Verizon.
Click Transfer Upgrade.
Note: If the Transfer Upgrade link isn’t appearing, you may not be eligible to transfer an upgrade at this time
Select the mobile number you want to upgrade. This will transfer upgrade eligibility to that line.
Select the device you want to upgrade to and click Next.
Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the remaining steps to upgrade your device.
You’ve successfully transferred your upgrade eligibility to another line.

Restoring a SQL Server 2005 DB to a SQL Server 2014 install, is there any way to prevent it from being upgraded

Does anyone know if there is a flag I can use to prevent a SQL Server 2005 database from being upgraded to SQL 2014 when it is restored to a 2014 instance?
Don't ask why, I just need to know if this is possible or if 2005/8 DB's are required to be upgraded if they are going to run on SQL 2012/2014 instances. The documentation seems to say this is so, I just want to verify that.

First: You cannot directly restore a 2005 database to
2014. MS supports migration over 3 SQL Server version steps; means you can restore 2005 to 2008/2008R2/2012, but not to 2014. You have to do a migration step between.
Olaf I was looking for this today, because I'm working with a new customer that have SQL 2005 and I have SQL 2014. And needed to restore a backup form the production server in my test server.
When I read what you write I think, oh no!! I have to install SQL 2012 in my server. But that it's not an option for me, and I say let me try to restore the DB first in 2014 and if not work install 2012.
You can restore a 2005 database to 2014 directly, and it works.
For reference the version number in the servers 2005 (9.0.4035 SP3) and 2014 (12.0.2000 RTM)
This is not related in any way to the original question that you answered (the file format will be upgraded to the new motor, that is sure).
I put this lines because in the future there will be some people searching about if possible to restore a 2005 DB to 2014, and like me will read your lines and think it's not possible and that can make a decision to buy 2012 and not 2014 to that new server they
will migrate.

Activation of iPhone 6 - used family members upgrade

I just received my iPhone 6 plus (used a relatives upgrade to get the phone for me). When I try activating it, it seems locked on the relatives phone number. I've tried using my old sim card from the iphone 5, but I have no way to change the number. How can I activate the phone with my number and not my relatives? I have tried both updating via the cell connection and using itunes.
Using ATT and upgrading from iPhone 5 to 6 plus.
Any help is appreciated

Just be aware that it may need to stay under their account. If your account was not eligible for an upgrade you may not be able to move it over. I would say that when you talk to someone at AT&T that you are very clear in what you are wanting to do and what will happen to both accounts. I'm guessing that you did it under a relative because your account wasn't eligible for an upgrade. If you move it to your account (if they will let you) then you will most likely need to pay off any remaining subsidy on an existing phone and/or pay full price for the iPhone 6 to pay it off on your relative's account.

Can I use a friends upgrade for myself?

I have an iPhone 4S and I want the iPhone 5. I cannot get a new phone for a year now and I want to know if I found a good "loop hole" or not in Verizon's upgrade program.
My plan is this:
Sell my iPhone 4S 32 GB for about $300 on eBay.
On my friends Verizon Wireless account, he will use his own upgrade on Apple.com and pay for the iPhone 5 with the money I give him.
The iPhone will get delivered at his house (in about a month ) and he will just give it to me still unopened in the box.
I will open it, power it on, and call *228 and press "2" on the keyboard and activate it with MY Verizon account even though it's on his line. Now it will use my data, my number, my bill, etc...
Will this work the way I want it to? If so, will it change my bill due to LTE?
One more thing: when it first gets powered on straight out of the box, will it already be linked to HIS number or will it not be linked to any number at all (meaning it can't be used for calls, text, 3G/LTE)?
Thank you for your help!!

You would need to get a new SIM card and don't do *228 it will hurt the phone. You would have to brin he phone to the store to get a new SIM card.
If you do the software update you will get a lot of what the iPhone 5 has and maybe you could keep your phone untill 20 months is up. If you get a phone from another account you might not be able to put insurance on it.

Can I keep my Unlimited Data if I use my husbands upgrade?

The last phone I bought was the iPhone 5s and at that time I was able to use my husbands upgrade and keep my unlimited data...then he used my upgrade...I am wanting to do the same thing. Do I still have that option and will I be able to preorder over the phone at 12:01am to do it?

That's a good question and the new iPhones are nice hl7272! If you and your husband are on separate accounts, you will be able to activate the new phone on your line, (account), and keep your unlimited data. However, if you're on the same account, you won't be able to do the Alternate Upgrade and keep unlimited data. Even if you're using your husband's upgrade, when the phone is activated on your line, you will need to choose from a current data plan.
Thank you,

How can I use an iPad upgrade for an iPhone?

My iPad (Verizon) and iPhone were stolen from my car. My iPad has an upgrade available. I understand that normally the iPad can only be upgraded to another tablet. But someone told me I may be able to switch the upgrade to a phone.
I have an old Verizon phone I'm not using. I think the process was perhaps to activate this old phone on the iPad's phone number then upgrade to an iPhone. Or perhaps it was to activate the old phone on a new line and then switch the iPad's upgrade to it. I am not sure.
Can anyone see a way to use my iPad upgrade toward a new iPhone?

Hi damormino,
Oh my! That definitely sounds upsetting. I fully understand how aggravating it can be to have your devices stolen. The good news is, we do have options. Do you recall if insurance was selected on either lines? When it comes to upgrading a tablet line unfortunately our system does document the type of upgrade and type of device that was previously used even if you were to activate a basi device. My sincere apologies that you would be unable to utilize this upgrade to obtain a smartphone or basic device. Have you considered utilizing http://vz.to/ZILXBT? Please keep us posted, thanks!
