Apple gurus please help. GPU problems

Hi everyone. Having a horrible gpu issue and cannot find a solution anywhere. I have one of the 2008 Macbook Pros with the dreaded 8600 gpu. If I run any OS past 10.6.3 I get artifacts on my display. But, with 10.6.3 all is pretty much ok except for watching movies from dvd or my drive. youtube video no problem full screen. The minute I go to 10.6.8 it's back to artifacts on certain web pages and youtube video. Lion to Mavericks I get artifacts on EVERYTHING. It seems to me that something in the 10.6.8 update and up is taxing the faulty gpu but I cannot figure out what. I don't mind sticking with Snow kitty but would like to have at least 10.6.8 for iTunes 11 so I can use my iphone sync. Any ideas or solutions? I tried updating to 10.6.8 and then using the old 10.6.3 video kexts but that didn't work and I had to reinstall. And I can't afford a new Mac or repair right now. Thanks in advance!

Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them test you MBP and define what is exactly wrong with it. The evaluation will be FREE!
Ciao.

Contact the original owner, and ask them to remove the device from their icloud.

If the phone is locked to a carrier then you will need the carrier to unlock it And only the carrier can do that.

I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help

I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them : go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account, then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

- Try a reset.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then connect to your computer and try to restore.
- See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If the logo still show all the time, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Also
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.

You purchased a gray market phone. The iPhone is not available for sale from any Authorized source in Ukraine. There are no authorized or supported carriers in Ukraine.
Take it ack and get your money back.
If you want an iPhone, go to a country where unlocked iPhones are available for legitimate sale and purchase one directly from Apple.

Installed itunes, checked in, I try to download free applications out the window: this Apple ID has not yet been used with the iTunes Store. But the mail I receive, that I'm registered, and I have an Apple ID, please help find out!

Diana,
This could be a delay while internal service records were updated. Check it out again - is it okay for now?
