I recently added memory to my MacBook Pro so I could upgrade to Lion and use the cloud for my contact list. It's been a bit of a mess, since I use Entourage as my email program. The REAL problem I'm having now is that my iPhone 4 now won't sync. iTunes "quits unexpectedly" at stage 7 (of 8) in the syncing process, where it says it's importing photos. My iPhoto is '09, version 8.1.2 Is this not compatible with Lion?
I have the same problem. I'm suspecting a corrupt photo, but the logs don't give me a clue. Or maybe this version of iTunes needs some further tuning.

Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac?
Where is the cheapest place to buy 8gb ram upgrade for my early 2009 iMac, I have bought before but current upgrade is causing mac to crash randomly!? Need to know a place I can buy Ram which is confirmed to work my my mac model, the current upgrade is working but Mac is very unstable.
I meant more reasonable priced than apple
That'll be almost anywhere else then!
Yes, if it is made by Crucial and confirmed as suitable for your model of mac you will be fine. You can also buy direct from Crucial:

which is what I would do (did). -
I am looking at buying a MacBook Air over the Pro mainly for the 12 hour battery. Just wondering if battery is compromised by upgrading to 8mb and upgrading to I7 Intel dual core. I am not very tech savvy so apologies if dumb question
If both computers were configured identically, then they would both lose the same amount of battery life with respect to the same starting configuration - comparing apple to apples. I don't know how much the added RAM, etc. would reduce battery life, but it would be less for both models.
Battery life is a tricky subject because most mfgr.s like to suggest as long a life as possible, but often do so under a set of conditions that are not common to most users. Apple is no different. Their computers do have good battery life, however. But not likely as long as what is in the ads for the typical user. -
Tune up and upgrade or buy new?
I have a iBook G4. It is starting to show wear and age. It needs a new battery (doesn't hold any charge)and a new power cord (fraying at the barrel). I have very little memory left and it runs very slow at times.
I was thinking of buying a new battery, power cord, and upgrading the RAM (current 512MB) and then possibly buying an external hard drive. Would this be a wise investment? Or should I retire this and look into investing into a new computer?running my Ibook cooler
after owning my Ibook for more than one year, I finally figured out how to keep it cool and not overheating, which it would make the screen flicker and go blank, first of all I removed the bottom cover and drilled many holes in patterns including on the metal shield, this made a big improvement, I can feel the heat coming from the holes, but still not good enough, because I wanted to play /record Quick time movies and the system would heat quickly within 20 minutes and using a fan underneath,
I did some search and found G4fan control, http://www.andreafabrizi.it/?g4fancontrol:download
installed it and, I reset the defaults temp @ 130 and no more trouble as the matter of fact I have been recording audio with it while the temperature in the room was near 90 and the the graphic chip sensor never reached above 125 I have been recording for 3 days straight, how about that.
I also installed an Audio recording Jack so that I can transfer my audio cassettes.
Thanks for reading

I have snow leopard 10.6.8 and want to get on iCloud which requires Lion... should I buy Lion at $29.99 now and upgrade to Mountain Lion when available (I can't see where it is available for download yet) and what is cost of upgrade to Mountain Lion? Or should I simply wait for Mountain Lion?
I would wait for Mountain Lion to be released. According to Apple, Mountain Lion will be released by end of July 2012.
It will cost you only $19.99 to upgrade. You can find all the details at the following link...

Can i buy one snow leopard 10.6 and upgrade two mac?
can i buy one snow leopard 10.6 and upgrade two mac?
The Snow Leopard license that Apple sells only allows you to upgrade one Mac. If you want to upgrade more than one computer, you have to buy the Mac OS X Snow Leopard family pack > http://www.amazon.com/Snow-Leopard-Family-Pack-5-User/dp/B001AMPP0W

I have a new iMac. Can I install my iWork from my Snow Leopard set and upgrade it or will I need to buy new iWork? If so why?

As Niel states you can use your current iWorks.
If you want the latest version you will need to purchase the componets in the Mac App Store. -
Does it make sense to buy an iPod touch 5th gen. 64 gb with iOS 7 and upgrade it to iOS 8, or spend a few bucks more and buy one with iOS 8 already installed?
The iOS update us free so I would get the less expensive one.
If you are getting a used one make sure this is done before you purchase it. Otherwise it may still have the Activatin Lock on

I currently have 3 lines. I want to get the familiy text and talk package for 700 mins. I have a $100 credit on my line. I am trying to upgrade 2 phones to the buy 1 get 1 HTC incredible and upgrade the 3rd line to the Droid Click. I cannot find the HTC deal once I log into my account. I know it can be done, but how. I also cannot find the live chat that VZW used to have. Is it gone?
If you try to order during the day, you will most likely get a chat box to appear.
I just went there and a chat box appeared.
Are all three lines eligible for an upgrade? (At least 20 months into the 24 month contract) -

Could also upgrade the ssd?You can add insurance sometimes open entitlement is in march. How is it broken sometimes tech can do an exception. If its a warranty things there might be a slim chance.

I'm a graphic student in university. Now i don't know i should pick Macbook air 13' with 128GB and upgrade to 8Gb or just take Macbook ait 13' with 256 GB?
I worry Macbook air 13' with 128GB can't support fully to install those graphic software like photoshop, lightroom, illustration , Adobe and so on..
Thank you.If I had to choose just one thing I’d go with 8GB RAM. There’s no way to upgrade memory later so if you buy the stock 4GB RAM model and need more RAM later your only choice is to buy a new computer. Even if you find the 128GB SSD too small later you have alternatives including moving less important files to an external hard drive (music, old projects, and video are good examples). You can also purchase a SD RAM card for the SD slot to store additional files on - I have a flush mount 128GB SD card in mine which is where I store my music and older files. And while it will be expensive you can be fairly certain that eventually an upgrade SSD will become available.
If possible I’d recommend both the 8GB RAM upgrade and the 256GB SSD but as I said, the RAM upgrade really is a must. BTW, I have a huge amount of software on my computer: Creative Suite, Office, and tons more and have no trouble keeping it all within 128GB. What did push me over to make the larger drive a must have is that I also need to run Windows so I have 45GB tied up in Windows and Windows software. (I’m a programming instructor and need to test my assignments for Win and Mac users.) -

You have got a Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro, and it supports up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can install 8 GB of RAM. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial

Good question.
I believe that your SIM card should be interchangeable between your old 4GB iPhone and your new 8GB iPhone. Of course, if you take your SIM out of the old 4G what will the buyer of your 4G use for a SIM card to get started - are you planning to give him the non-registered SIM from the 8G that you get?
If not, how do you expect him to get a SIM card unless you expect him to have to buy one from AT&T?
I think that if the old SIM works, there should be no need to restart your two (2) year contract but first the old SIM needs to work.
Let us know what happens.
