Can I upgrade this OS X to Yosemite when it comes out

ccan I upgrade OS X Mavericks to Yosemite when it comes out

Yosemite will be a free upgrade when it is released but older Macs may not be able to run it. For example the first generation MacBook Air cannot run it.
If you do the following we can check which model you have and tell you whether yours can run it.
Go to the Apple menu and select "About this Mac" - How much memory does it say, and what is the current OS X version?
Now twice on the OS X version number, it should then show the serial number, what is it?
You can now use that serial number at this website - http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/ it will tell you the model of Mac you have, and if you open the detailed information for that model and scroll down it will tell you what versions of OS X it is capable of running.
As mentioned the first (original) MacBook Air model the macbookair1,1 cannot run Yosemite, or Mavericks, or Mountain Lion, it can only run up to Lion. Later models including the macbookair2,1 can run Yosemite, Mavericks and Mountain Lion.
With regards to memory, you cannot upgrade the memory and it will have come with at least 2GB as standard. This is enough to run Yosemite but if you had 4 or even 8 it would be much better. Therefore even if you have a model that is compatible with Yosemite - if it only has 2GB of RAM (which cannot be upgraded on the MacBook Air) you might want to think about selling it and getting a newer one with more memory.

If I get a Helix now, can I replace the chip with a Haswell when that comes out?

Someone on the Lenovo Facebook mentioned that it would be possible to put a Haswell chip in an existing Lenovo convertible, and that doesn't seem right to me because it takes a different slot. Is this legit?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't upgrade the CPU of ultra book, x series or tablets. So what the person said about putting a haswell chip is incorrect.

MX920 series we can send print command but paper is blank when it comes out. Cleaned all nozzles

No problem with wireless connection but cannot get any ink to show up on the paper. Tried printing from computer as well as making copies - no luck. Just plain white paper coming out. Help. Is this machine just broken? We did all the commands for cleaning it. Ugh.

Hi rylandrat,
If you have already performed at least one cleaning and two deep cleanings on the printer, as well as have verified that all of the tape has been removed from the bottom of the ink tanks, please attempt to perform a print head alignment on the unit following the steps at the link below to try and get the ink to print:
Print Head Alignment
If you still experience the same issue after performing the alignment, the printer will require servicing; please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page to obtain your servicing options.

Can i upgrade from snow leopard to yosemite?

Can I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite without having a lot of problems? Or do I have to upgrade to something else first? My browser is getting messages that I need to upgrade to work properly. This has never been a problem until now.

For future reference: You don't have to install an upgrade, just because Apple would like you to do so. Never install a major upgrade without first checking to see what problems people are having, and what software will be incompatible. You lose nothing by waiting a while.
You can restore your Snow Leopard system from your most recent complete system backup before upgrading. If you have no backup, you will have to try to back up now, and then you will have to re-install Snow leopard from the system disks that came with your computer. You will have to boot from the Install disk, and erase your drive, and re-install Snow Leopard, then apply the various Snow Leopard updates to get back to 10.6.8. After that, you can try to bring back some of the critical files from your Yosemite backup, but some of it may not survive the transition.

HT1338 My imac5.1 is running mac OS 10.4.11 can I upgrade this to enable me to upgrade browsers etc.?

My imac5.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz 2GB memory is running mac OS 10.4.11 can I upgrade this operating system on my machine to enable me to upgrade browsers etc.? What is the latest OS system and would it work on my machine?

Although you can go to 10.7 Lion, I suggest buying 10.6 Snow Leopard which you need anyway.
It seems that you can go to 4GB memory, which may help. If you do want to try Lion, it's not in the online store, but should be available by calling & paying to get a redemption code.
You should check compatibility of any existing software before considering Lion.

I have Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition. Can I upgrade this to a more current version for free? If so, how?

Hi
I have loaded photoshop version 5 onto my computer in order to view a psd file, but the file is from a more up to date version and contains incompatible material. Can I update the version 5 copy I have to a more current version so the file would work?
Would this just be a question of downloading something online or would I have to pay to upgrade?
I did try to look at the adobe upgrade section but it all seemed meant for more current versions than mine
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Are you being serious?
What you can do is avail yourself of the free 30 day trial period of a more current version, though.

Locked-out: "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed

Absolute rookie move. Bought a Mac Mini server (June 2012 model) on E-bay and it came with the previous owner's log-in account still on it. Tried to re-install 10.6 server software with the CDs that came with it but got the message "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed". Any advice on how I can fix this? I'm hoping I didn't buy a brick that I can't do anything with.
Any help is much appreciated.

What OS X software is installed on the box? OS X, or OS X Server?
If it's a newer OS X version and you want OS X Server from the installer disks, wipe the disk and reinstall.
Officially, it's not likely that a recent Mac Mini Server would even officially support something as old as OS X Server 10.6; here's the list of the minimum versions (HT1159) — I don't see a June 2012 model, the closest to that acquisition date would probably be a mid-2011 Mac Mini or Mac Mini Server model, and those require OS X or OS X Server 10.7, or later.
OS X 10.7 also didn't usually arrive with DVD disks, so that may be an old DVD from some other box.
To confirm the Mac Mini model, see  > About This Mac > More Info...

"You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X"

I have a 3 week old MacBook Pro 2.66 (4GB RAM) bought online with the Leopard 10.5.8 Operating System installed. I've tried to install Snow Leopard tonight and it gives me the message "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X." How can that be? I've tried the REPAIR DISK option and it says that my internal HDD is OK - in green. Yet I am unable to install the new OS. What gives?

Jeff,
It is possible that you are "stuck in the middle." The build of Snow Leopard resident on the DVD may actually have been "solidified" prior to the build that came with your Mac. As a result, the Snow Leopard installer doesn't "recognize" what is currently running on your Mac. Put another way, it doesn't know how to go about upgrading that installation. Yours is the first case of this that I have seen, if that is indeed what is going on here.
Regardless of the cause, you do not have to "upgrade." You can simply erase what's currently on your Mac and install Snow Leopard. You'll want to have a good Time Machine backup first, of course, and I recommend you find a suitable external drive to do so, if you haven't already.
When you do have that backup, you can boot to the Snow Leopard installer, open Disk Utility to erase the internal hard drive, install Snow Leopard, then use the "Migration Assistant" to bring your user data and account(s) back into the new installation. You probably have not had much time to accumulate a bunch of third-party apps, so having to reinstall those should be no problem. Even if you have found some that you like, keep in mind that all of our user data and settings for those apps will already be back in place, along with your HOME folder(s).
If you need further instructions to complete any of the steps I have outlined, we'll be glad to help.

I have a IMAC 7.1 with a Mac OS X v 10.5.8. Can I upgrade this machine to 10.6.8 or to the latest MAC OS software version?

Yes, that unit can be upgraded to the latest (Mavericks). First you will need to get to Snow Leopard (10.6). Check the link below for details.

If I buy FCPX 10.0.5 will I be able to upgrade to 10.0.6 for free when it comes out?

If I buy FCPX 10.0.5 will I be able to upgrade to 10.0.6 for free when it comes out? I know 10.0.6 comes out sometime this month or soon....

I guess you already know the answer to this but yes, you can upgrade for free!!! But there are some issues with 10.0.6 you need to be aware of. Read the associated issues before you upgrade. It may not affect you if you don't already have a bunch of rendered projects though. Good luck!

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse
