Beta available for older Mac's ?

I see there is a Safari for those who have Windows, but those who have the older Macs are unable to update to the newest Safari?
Why is this?
And is there a free beta release for those with an older mac ?

Sad that this is the case, and it doesn't explain the "why" of it... but perhaps it is like many things in life, where we have to wait until we get to Heaven to understand the difficult questions in life. haha
Anyhow... I suppose I will live... or just use Firefox.
Have a wonderful week!

Photo Booth available for older Macs?

Hi all,
I've recently purchased a MacBook Pro and an iMac, both which have the built-in iSight and Photo Booth. We're having such fun messing around with that, I'm wondering if the software is available for older, iSight-equiped Macs.
Many thanks.

Will new batteries be made available for older Mac Books?

I have a Late 2008 Mac Book Pro 15" model. The battery life ***** on this thing. With the announcement of the new models and the new batteries, is Apple going to make the new battery technology available for the older models?
I'm guessing they will not given Apple's history, but I thought I would ask anyway. It sure would be nice to be able to get some decent battery life out of my laptop.
Thanks.

The newer higher capacity batteries use a different chemistry than the older batteries. There is no real reason that Apple couldn't replace the current battery chemistry with the newer one. However, I wouldn't expect it to happen for another year.
Not quite true. The OP's issue is with battery life, not battery lifespan. The slightly modified chemistry (they are still lithium polymer batteries, so the basic chemistry is the same) and the adaptive charging on the new batteries account for the lifespan of 1000 charge cycles vs. 300-400 charge cycles.
However, the increased battery life (i.e. run time on a full charge) is higher with the new batteries simply because they are physically bigger - 40% bigger, according to Apple. The newer, internal batteries are larger due, in part, to the fact that they are non-removable, meaning space formerly taken up by the battery case and latching mechanism can now be used for the battery itself.
So, although Apple might implement the modified chemistry and the adaptive charging controller in replacement batteries (although I think this is pretty unlikely), there's no way they can make them larger due to the constraints of the machines they are designed for. Therefore, there's no way for Apple to increase the battery life on the older machines.

do you think windows will auto-detect the card, since i used my bootcamp install cd to install the drivers for my current windows installation, would it have the drivers for this card installed or no?
currently using the x1900 right now with just the bootcamp drivers.
Before you swapped cards I would download the nVidia drivers now and put them somewhere on your Windows drive, make a folder for them. I'm not sure if you are using XP or Vista. Vista has a larger driver library (and newer) and I would think would detect it, but I'd still want the latest and greatest from nVidia's site.
Worse that can happen is you'd have to start Windows in Safe Mode (basic VGA drivers) and then run the nVidia driver setup from the file you had previously downloaded.
I just ordered the card for my Mac Pro. I had to downgrade my ATI x1900XT due to stability issues.

Is there an add on thunderbolt port available for older mac pro

I would like to purchase the Promise Pegasus 12 TB raid 6 storage system for my 2009/2010 mac pro, but it requires a thunderbolt cable. From what I can see my mac pro doesn't have a thunderbolt port.

In that scenario, what do you figure a partially functional T-bolt channel would go for?
Thunderbolt is primarily of value to laptops and non-expandible machines like the iMac and Mini. In that environment it's like "The Ultimate USB" with bandwidth beyond the pale.
To the Mac Pro, its primary value would be as a ultra high speed I/O bus. At one-third the bandwidth, there are already PCI solutions. It needs to be integrated into the MLB.

Is iCloud available on older Macs (2005)

Is iCloud available on older Macs (purchased in 2005)? Purchased a new iPad and have iPhone 4S which has iCloud but not sure it is available for older Mac.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iCloud needs OS X 10.7.2 or newer. This version requires a Intel Core 2 Duo processor or later. If you bought your computer in 2005, you have a PowerPC or a Intel Core Duo processor, so you can't install that version and you can't use it. However, you can still set up Mail > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330

Mouse Availability for Old Macs

Does anyone make a mouse anymore for old macs? I have an old system, with an 7.5.1 OS and a standard keyboard, that still runs fine. I had been using a Kensington "Mouse-in-a-box" Model #642068. But now it needs to be replaced, and I cannot find a compatible mouse. The current Kensington Mouse in a Box for older macs apparently only fits into a deluxe keyboard. Does anyone know where I can buy a compatible mouse?

1) Thrift stores. Usually there will be a rack or something with a bunch of old mice, most of the time there will be at least one ADB mouse. You may have to try more than one store, or go back from time to time.
2) eBay. I did a search for "mouse adb" and there were quite a few listings, not expensive, and some were a mouse and keyboard combination.
3) Here. I bet there are lots of people here who have a spare mouse to share.
4) Did you try bringing your keyboard into the store to try it with the current ADB mouse?

AirPort Extreme 802.11n for older Macs?

Are there any plans for Apple to release some sort of upgrade for older Macs so that we can use 802.11n wireless networking?
I have a Power Mac G5 (2.5GHz DP) and a MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo), so the hardware in my Macs doesn't handle the 802.11n specification. (Please note that I'm not talking about the software enabler. That's not going to work on older hardware.)
Are there plans for new AE cards that can be swapped into the G5s or an ExpressCard 34 card for the laptop?
(And why oh why does the UK government not allow wide channel? UK consumers are stuck with only a 2.5x speed increase, whereas US consumers get the full 5x speed increase.)
Thanks!

802.11n refers to a speedy wireless connection. When
you connect with a wire, you're not using 802.11 at
all. You're using Ethernet, and your Core Duo mac
will connect to the Airport Extreme at 100Mbs (a
little faster than the top speed of 802.11n). Then
The top speed of 802.11n is considerably faster than 100Mbps. In narrow band mode, the Airport Extreme cards are connecting to AE Base Stations (AEBS) at 130Mbs. In wide band mode, 270Mbs. In theory, that makes connecting to the new AEBS device wirelessly faster than via the wired ethernet. It's a design decision that just doesn't make sense in my opinion.

AP2 new features not available for older cameras

Hi
Can somebody please confirm that older camera's such as Fuji S3 and S2 do not have new raw conversions in the fine tuning adjustments, mine only shows up with the 1.1 or 1.0 options listed, and also the Recovery and Black point sliders are grayed out.
I have no problem with my D2X files, they have the 2.0 conversion options.
Another thing i've noticed is DNG files have an option of 2.0 DNG or 2.0 in the Raw fine tuning box aswell, which one is the right option to choose?
regards
Kiran

Kiran,
Another thing i've noticed is DNG files have an option of 2.0 DNG or 2.0 in the Raw fine tuning box aswell, which one is the right option to choose?
You'd want to choose 2.0 if it's available for your camera. The difference is that this option applies a profile developed to match the specifics of the camera's sensor and image processing firmware. 2.0 DNG applies a generic profile.
Cheers,
Andreas

Searching Archive for Older Mac 10.4 (non Intel) Computer Lost Flash Player

Hello Forum Users!
I'm sorry to bother you, but checked recent posts and knowledge base and cannot seem to find my problem listed.
Problem starts and ends with older Mac operating system (10.4.11, Yes, I am still using Tiger and my G4 is said not to be acceptable to Leopard so its time for new computer..but until then)....
I have only a 60 GB HD, and it was getting "full" so suggestion I received and someone helped me do it, was to eliminate all old "downloads" I was saving.
Fine....except that while I was cleaning up the older programs I "don't use" to get more room on the Hard Drive (I had less than 10 GB free and Apples don't like that on their Journal Drives), I accidentally "erased" (then threw out as trash to get room) the Adobe Flash Player. Not a problem! But now of course I remember that is "why" keep normally all "downloads" as files in case I do that....so no older download to use as my own archive.
Ok, not a problem! Go to Adobe and download a new Flash Player (Of course I can't use 10.3 and all the others you keep referring to, as I don't have an "Intel" chip operating computer, so 10.4 is supported by newer Flash Players but only those using an Intel chip which my computer doesn't have. (Lap top else I'd try all types of modificactions to work around the problem).
Sorry too many details, but rather let you know now than questions back and forth.
The final irony is that I know of Adobe's Archives and went "back in time" downloading and testing out various Flash Players (sorry, didn't pay attention so I did not ever have marked down which version of older Adobe worked with my 10.4.11).
So I tried all the 10.2's 10.0's 9's (even the developer ones) I hit the 8's and realized that maybe I'm not doing something right as I do think if you are using 10.3 now, that 8 versions should have been usable according to the June 2010 system requirement lists.
For downloading I select Mac "other" as my operating system since the current specificaitons for downloading list 10.4 to 10.6 as "Intel" based.
Did I leave anything out?
I really need Adobe Flash Player as most of the web sites are just refusing to display anything but words for me, so just boring now on web without access to all the content that Flash Player provides. (no more funny You tube videos either of course!).
Can anyone help me with my Adobe problem?
Thanks!

To both of my helpers.....Success! (Skip to end if you don't want to read the details).
Sorry for the delay in responding to all of your suggestions!
eidnolb: Here is what I found on the page with red "f" this time. But using Safari, the whole top of the page says "Flash" meaning that the red "F" is part of a Flash item that is not loading in Safari, but does load in my other Browser, Sea Monkey.
Using Safari I right clicked (was on wrong page sorry) and got the "ClicktoFlash---Settings" settings
I do not have regular "settings" anymore on my list just: Load Flash/Load all on this page/add www.Adobe.com to whitelist/ClicktoFlash Settings.
And in the Click to Flash Settings there is no box to uncheck for hardware acceleration. Only things like Options/sIFR Text Updates Uninstall (of course) version 1.5.5 if that matters).
I set up my account in Adobe using Sea Monkey which I do when Safari is fully being used for other purposes that day, so that explains why I got confused sometimes, the Flash Content in Sea Monkey "works" but the same page loaded in Safari does not work. I do have Firefox, but that has too many saved pages that have not been gone over to "unsave" them when I'm done either printing the contnet or saving the content or bookmarking it, so that is quite unusuable right now so I don't know if any of the flash is working or not on Firefox (and I don't have Chrome loaded in yet....maybe I read it was Leopard only? I forget why it is not
another choice for me).
Willener pat's (finally used a mirror!) suggestion I try the FP uninstaller again, I made sure it was done using Safari (Sea Monkey does not like it)....and despite it appearing for the higher levels of Mac OSX I tried it....
Its getting complicated. I can read the instructions how to do it in Sea Monkey, but Sea Monkey does not like the file (does not know what to do with it and offers my entire "Mac" database of applications i.e. word, etc to use it (very bad). Safari can use the file but I have to click on it without the accompanying instrtuctions to help me as they are not visible or printable anymore from within Safari without Flash. So I'm using the printed instrucitons from Sea Monkey to follow and Safari to do the downloading!
I'll work this out yet!
eidnolb: I visited http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html after uninstall as you and pat say to do.
But the message reads:
"The following displays the type of Flash Player version that this browser is running, and its capabilities. Usually only developers creating content for Flash Player require this information: "
But Guess What? The box is a "FLASH" item!! So I can't see what version is in there! (Catch-22 they call that!).
My company's Flash pages are showing up on both Safari and Sea Monkey, they pause then load even though I've not set them for "permissions" or "whitelist" on the ClicktoFlash" because the content is created by various people and they have bad web page habits so especially I do not load Flash immediately at my company's web pages, as it can hang or cause scripts to keep working so I have to stop it. That is why the person I deal with got me "ClicktoFlash" as just because I know how to create a web page, doesn't mean all the other ones I deal with know how!
I'm thinking at this point, should I try installing back in the version again? I guess no harm can come from that so I went back to eidnolb's version in original message and tried to load it in again.
Result is: nothing!
I clicked on your address in Sea Monkey and copied to safari and both don't work. "Page Not Found" Error.
This is what I clicked on to get the Flash installer 10.1.102.64 before! I know it worked then, why not now? So I'll use the copy I've downloaded before but why is the link not working now?
eidnolb: June 15, 2011 10:53 am
Flash installer 10.1.102.64 [http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp 10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive.zip] Open the archive to reveal yet more archives and multiple files. Select: flashplayer101r102_64_ubmac.dmg
By the way....reading everything that came with the installer program (it appears for developers only as archived version), it says to "restart" system after uninstall. Maybe that is what I did not do, but I've closed and restarted my computer each time I leave so I know its been "done" in middle of writing your forum replies, I just save it elsewhere and come back to continue writing!
So closing and restarting everything had no effect. On the Adobe Find Flash Player Version page, I still can't "see" the box with version of Flash Player I'm currently running, as its a Flash box that does not activate. The other Adobe page with "red" F still does not show the me "red" F just a huge "Flash" box that I can't open.
So here goes with installing again from the saved version of download (by the by I'm now down to 9.46 GB free since I've opened and downloaded so many files so many times. Just don't know which to delete as nothing has worked yet!
Now it works! I think!
I got the "Find Flash Player Version" page and I can "see" the result
I'm using Player Version: MAC 10,1,53,64
Debug Player: No
Opening system Mac OS 10.4.11
Video Capable Yes
Audio Capable Yes
Local File I/O Enabled: Yes
So I guess that is it!
It works !
I could have just said this part alone, but wanted both of you to see what steps I took to get it working again! (Might be helpful to anyone else stupid enough to try to create more room by deleting any large files with unidentified names).
Which answer fits the bill for "correct" answer? I"ll click on and award points however you both see fit (10 to best answer 5 to possible answers).
I went to check on the one you (eidnolb) answered about Google Maps (I have a iPad now and always use it for my portable use of Google Maps so didn't notice anything like he mentioned, so I just went in to give a check and Safari and Google Maps are all working fine with street views (the orange man---does anyone have a name for him? Have a contest!). It all works so thanks again.
Best regards to everyone!
