Can i upgrade to a dual 1.25 ghz from a single 1 ghz?

hi i have a MDD G4 single 1ghz processor fw 800 mac that i was considering selling because it cant boot to os9 but now im considering keeping it because of its upgrade potential.
what upgrades are available to me?
thanks

Since that board was available in SP 1 GHz, DP 1.25 GHz and DP 1.42 GHz, the short answer is yes. Many here suggest just going up to the DP 1.25 GHz for the most cost-effective upgrade. The difference between the DP 1.25 and DP 1.42 is minimal - 10-13%. From posts I have seen, going from a SP 1.25 to a DP 1.25 will result in about a 40% boost so your difference should be even a little greater. Check the ebay link below for DP listings. That's where I bought mine.

We need the system P/N to find out what the Service Manual says if it comes with or without a dual band wifi.

Can i upgrade to mac os x 10.8 from mac ox 10.6.8

can i upgrade to mac os x 10.8 from mac os x 10.6.8?

OS X 10.8 is not released yet so no one knows what the system requirements will be.
What model MacBook Pro do you have? To find out go to  > About this Mac, and click More Info... The model will appear under "hardware profile".
It is highly likely recent MacBook Pro models will be able to run OS X 10.8 just fine.
However, since the very early ones cannot run Lion, it is doubtful they will be able to run Mountain Lion. So the answer depends upon which model you have.

Can i upgrade to 10.6.3 snow leapord from 10.4.11?

Can I upgrade to 10.6.3 snow leopard from 10.4.11? If so, can I just purchase the snow leopard disk or do I have to purchase the mac box set?

Assuming your system has the minimum technical specifications then yes you can purchase just the SL Retail disc and perform the upgrade. As with any OS upgrade I would STRONGLY recommend following the suggestions in this Update Process post. The minimum tech specs for SL are:
System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple's MobileMeservice; fees and terms apply.

I am running 10.6.8 but can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor 1.83 GB memory. What should I do?

My MacBook software is 10.6.8 but I can't upgrade to Lion. 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with 2GB memory. What to do?

Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

Can i upgrade cpu of my late 2009 macbook from intel core 2 duo to intel i5 for i7?

My macbook is a late 2009 macbook with 2.26GHz Intel core 2 duo processor with 2GB DDR3 memory. Can I upgrade its processor to latest dual-core intel i7 processors?

However drop an SSD in that puppy and bump the RAM to 8 GB and you'll never miss the i5 or i7 processor.

I only deal w/ OWC. Done 6 Macs so far: Mini, MBP MB Unibody 2009 like yours and not a hint of a problem w/ any of the installs.

Can't upgrade a legacy version of iLife '11 from the Mac App Store.

I have bought, a few years back, a legacy version of iLife '11 on DVD. I have heard that Apple is offering a free upgrade to their new iLife suite but when I accessed the Mac App Store, I can't upgrade to the new version. I currently have not made the move to Mavericks and I am still on Mountain Lion on a late 2009 iMac. Have I heard wrong and I am not allowed to a free upgrade or is there something I need to do to upgrade iLife?

You need to upgrade to OS X Mavericks first, as the most recent iLife versions are only compatible with OS X Mavericks.
After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, you will be prompted to update the iLife applications in the Mac App Store, and it will ask you for your Apple ID to register the applications to your Apple ID, so you can get them free of charge

Upgrading RAM on Dual 2.5 Ghz PowerMac

Ok, I just bought 8 1gb sticks of Hypervelocity RAM from macramdirect.com for my Dual 2.5 Ghz PowerMac. It already had 2.5gb of RAM sticks in there, so I was going to replace the 2.5 and stick it in 2 other G5's at the place I work at, and just run the 8 1gb sticks in my G5, that I use for video editing. When I stick the 8 1gb sticks in there, I boot it up and the fans kick on and the h/d spins, but nothing happens on the monitor and the power light flashes 2 times like every 5 seconds. So I basically started eliminating problems by starting with only 2 of the 8 sticks in the 1st dual slots. It still didn't fully boot up, give me the chime, and the power light flashed 2 times every 5 seconds. So I installed 2 of the 256mb chips in the 1st layer of the DIMM slots, and 2 of the 1gb sticks in the 2nd layer of the DIMM slots. It boots up completely, I hear the chime. I thought that this G5 could max out at 8gb, but is this totally true. Or can it only max out at probably 7gb, 1 gb short of the supposedly max given by apple??

Before talking to MacRamDirect, boot into Open Firmware (hold down four keys on startup/restart, doesn't even need to be a cold start):
CMD + OPT + O + F
then type three commands -
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
You may want or need to use the OPTION key to select your boot drive and reset it in Startup Disk c.p.
G5s don't always see or recognize the new RAM configuration; sometimes it only "shows up" when loading programs that require more RAM.
You should also boot from the Apple Hardware Test and run that as well. If all is working and showing up, I would then run Memtest overnight.
Why nvram or the device tree isn't being updated - no idea - but I have seen this happen and reset-nvram did the trick (also works when swapping hard drives and not showing, though not if you are ADDING a drive).

Hi,
Double post. You are talking about buying a new machine here, sell this one and buy a new one much cheaper.

Can't Upgrade To Flash Builder 4.6 Standard from 4.5.1 Standard

A while ago, I bought Adobe CS5 Web Premium (with educational licensing). Since then, Adobe flash builder has been updated to version 4.6, which contains features that I wish to use - mobile developement. However, I cannot seem to find any way to upgrade my current Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Standard. I have found a download which installs Flash Builder 4.6 Premium, but this does not accept my license key (which seems normal, since I do not have a 4.5 Premium license). I cannot, however find any way of updating to 4.6 Standard. There is no "try" option for 4.6 Standard, though on the product page, it claims that it comes with a complimentary upgrade to 4.6 Standard. Does anyone have any clues on how to upgrade Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Standard?

As per the user agreement, I installed Creative Suite (CS) Web Premium 5.5 on both a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop (which was the first machine I tried to update) I went threw all the steps listed in my previous post before I got it to work. Once I got it working on my desktop I figured out that I could simplify the process for the laptop update. Here's what I did...
1) Deactivated CS 5.5 by going into Flash Builder clicking Help > Deactivate Flash Builder...and clicking "Deactivate Permanently" (which deactivated the entire suite)
2) Uninstalled only Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component through the Control Panel (I'm sure you know how to do but just in case... go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (terminology may vary based on your OS) and click on your CS and click Uninstall. This will launch the Adobe uninstaller. From there deselect everything and only select (check) Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component and then uninstall them - uninstalling the iOS Component might not be necessary, but I did it anyway)
3) Restarted after those uninstalled
4) Launched Photoshop and entered my CS Serial Number (you should be able to launch any CS program thats still installed to do this)
5) Once it opened, closed it
6) Installed Flash Builder 4.6 in Trial Mode making sure to select the same language used when CS was installed (that's IMPORTANT)
7) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 in 60-Day (or however many days it was) Trail Mode
8) Once it opened, closed it
9) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 again, but this time I entered the Serial Number from my CS (at that point it accepted the SN and opened like normal and has everytime since)
10) I then installed my iOS Component from my original CS
That's it.
If you aren't having luck with the steps I posted in my earlier replies, you might want to try the steps I just mentioned. Start by installing your entire CS again - making special note of the language you select. Once installed and SN entered and you're sure your programs are up and running, the steps mentioned here worked for me. They're also less time consuming than the steps I entered in my previous reply.
The only issue I can see would be trying to update from Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Premium. But Jeff didn't say that was a problem, so you should be ok there.
Hope these steps help.
Good luck.

Can I upgrade my e9150t front panel 2 usb from 2.0 to 3.0?

I have an e9150t about 5 or so years old. I just added a USB 3.0 card to it. Can I somehow upgrade or swap out the front panel top left 2 usb slots with 3.0?

Hi,
I think this is just a DIY (do it yourself) job and you can do what ever you want after warranty period.

How can i upgrade to Premiere Pro 8.0.1 from 8.0.0 without going to 8.1.0?

I had recently updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro, the 2014.1 release (which is version 8.1.0). However, I need to maintain compatibility with the computers used in my film production class, which are stuck at 8.0.1 for now. I was able to successfully roll back to 8.0.0 (the 2014 release) using the Creative Cloud manager and everything is working fine. However, I would like to update to the 8.0.1 version so I can get the bug fixes that were included with the update. Telling the Creative Cloud manager to update downloads 8.1.0, and I can't find anywhere to download 8.0.1 manually. Is there a way that I can do this?

That is really useful, but I'm actually looking for the Mac version. I forgot to put that in the description because a solution from Adobe would likely provide both.
EDIT: Found the Mac version of the page: All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Mac OS | ProDesignTools. I'll mark your answer as correct. Thanks

If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.
