Can i upgrade to either of these?
Hello my fellow MSI fans!
I have this Motherboard:
MSI P35 Neo-F Socket 775 FSB1333 onboard 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/128047
My question is can i use either of these two processors in it? Without needing to update the BIOS? because i dont hae any experience with updating Bios and i dont want to wreck my motherboard if it goes wrong.
It says on my motherboard box 45Nm Ready,and i just looked up on Cpu-z and according to that my Bios version is V1.6 Date:12/4/07
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Energy Efficient 95W edition Socket 775 (2.40GHz) G0 Stepping L2 8MB Cache OEM Processor
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/131823
OR
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz (1333MHz) Socket 775 6MB L2 Cache OEM Processor
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143290
Thanks so much guys in advance,i appreciate your help.

I can't upgrade X7 either. The product code of mine is 059H8C2. Can Nokia staff help me?
You need to install a servlet runner such as Tomcat and check out Apache Jakarta-Ant for performing your builds.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/
http://jakarta.apache.org/ant/
Tomcat has a great little Application Developer Guide. Check that out here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/index.html
And check out a pre-assembled Ant build sample here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/appdev/sample/
Once you have Tomcat-4.1.10 set up, make appropriate changes to paths in the sample build file to match your system, drop your servlet classes into the "src" directory creating whatever package directory structure you need inside that and then just go to the command line and type:
ant compile
Your classes will now have been compiled and you will have your WAR structure all set to deploy to Tomcat.

Help - I transferred my entire 23,000 photo library from iPhoto 06 on a G4/Tiger to a 2009 Mac Pro running the current version of iPhoto. I used firewire with the G4 in target disk mode and manually transferred the files over. Seem to have transferred most of the photos well (though I need to investigate a number of photos in a new "Recovered" folder).
How did you do this? the porper way is to drag the iPhoto library as a single entity from the G4 to the MBP then launch iPhoto on the MBP
Now, on launching iPhoto 06 on the G4 I am told I somehow made changes to the photo library using the newer version of iPhoto.
Did you? if you dragged the library to the pictures folder of the new computer and launched iPhoto then you did not change your original library
Am I screwed (b/c the latest version of iPhoto requires Leopard, which won't run on my ancient G4)? How can I recover the ability to use iPhoto 2006 on the G4?
That depends on what happened - nothing you described would have modified your original library - is there more to tell?
You can try rebuilding the iPhoto 6 library using iPhoto library manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ - it will create a totally new library so if it does not work you lose nothing

Can you upgrade cloud storage from 20g
Most of us get 20g storage with our plan. Is there a way to pay for and increase the storage?
Thanks Rajshree,
I assume the LR 5 storage is a different storage with also 20 gig I believe. I would assume you can not upgrade that either.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I cannot open my File Maker Pro files. Can I use Numbers to open these files?
Numbers is a spreadsheet program and FileMaker is a database program, so you probably can't use Numbers to open them unless you had first exported them from FileMaker in a spreadsheet-compatible format.
If you upgraded from 10.6 Snow Leopard or earlier and your old copy of FileMaker won't open anymore, it might be a PowerPC application that is not compatible with 10.7 and later. If that is the case, to work with your FileMaker files you should upgrade your copy of FileMaker to the latest version, which seems to be FileMaker 12. -
I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

I can't upgrade from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 7.1.1 on my iPad 2. iPad says it has downloaded IOS 7.0.3 but cannot verify the installation if I try and install it. It claims that I have lost internet connection, which I have not. I cannot restore or update the iPad in iTunes either, if I try to, I get an error message which says that I 'do not have permission to access the requested resource'. I am using the latest version of iTunes on Windows 8. I have tried putting the iPad in recovery mode and restoring it with iTunes, the result is the same.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!@Rudegar
Thanks for the reply, but I've been having this problem for well over a week. If it is a corrupt download, is there some way of deleting it from the iPad and getting a new one?

I have brought a 17'' MacBook Pro 2.5ghz core 2 duo 2gb. Model A1261. It seems I can upgrade to either 8gb or 16gb ram! But since It's 2006'ish, I just want some advice on the best ram that would work for a good price. Thanks :)
Keiran420 wrote:
8 gb will do I guess
Based on the information that you have supplied, you have a Early or Late 2008 MBP. Maximum RAM that it will accept is 6 GB with the following specifications: 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.
The best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

Upgraded to LR5.7 and PS Elements 13. Using a Solid State Drive which is becoming Full! Can I remove older versions of these programs without affecting the functionality of the new programs?
Yes, there is no need to keep previous versions of software on the SSD (or on your computer).
Also, you didn't mention this but if the photos are on the SSD, you should move them off the SSD to a regular hard disk using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders -
How can I upgrade the OS on my 5 year old MacBook Pro 17. It is currently running 10.4 (Tiger). I have an IMac 27 running Lion but have Snow leopard discs which came with the purchase. Can these be used to upgrade?

If they are the grey discs which came with the iMac, then they will be machine specific and will not work on the MBP anyway. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for about $29 and upgrade from that. I presume your MBP is Intel and not G4.
Good Luck

Can't upgrade applications or Apple Security
I installed leopard in november and ever since have seen many problems with my access and privileges. It used to be simple on previous versions, or at least I didn't run into problems like I do now. On 10.4 I only remember setting privileges for myself and for others, but you could add more if you wanted. Now I have to set privileges for me, staff, and everyone- which i figured out that everyone includes me so that's basically a worthless option. And sometimes there are two (2) everyone's, which confuses me. Also, sometimes I can write in some folders and sometimes I can't, which also doesn't make sense to me. Another problem I am having is upgrading anything. I swear that these privileges seem to randomly change so when I try to upgrade something, even directly from Apple, it says that I don't have sufficient access to some files or folders. I can't fix that, either. This whole ACL privilege system is confusing me because no matter what I do, it doesn't seem to work!!! PLEASE HELP!!!
I'm pretty sure that some upgrade along the way has fixed this. I have not run into this problem for quite some time now, but thank you for your help

<Edited By Host>VRAM or Video Random Access Memory is dedicated RAM that the computer's video card uses.
Your model iMac came pre installed with either a 128 MB or 256 MB VRAM card or GPU chip.
I do not believe that in any of the aluminun iMac models have an upgradeable/replaceable GPU.
The exceptions might be the later 27 inch screen aluminum iMacs from 2009-2011. Replacing/upgrading the GPU in these models is not a DIY project for a newbie or novice Mac user and is a very tedious and challenging upgrade for an experienced Mac user/upgrader.
iMacs were never designed for the end user to work on or have easy access to work on.There are lots a different size fasteners and many tiny, finnincky, fiddly cables and connections to be careful with. My opinion, the later Intel iMacs were never design for easy accessibility and ease of repair or replacement work by the end Mac user.
My opinion, I think the newer style iMacs are designed to be this way. To design the internal components in a way that dissuades the user from even wanting to attempt trying to work on one of these iMacs.
My opinion again, The only iMac I ever thought was one of the easier iMac models to work on was the lamp-style, snowball base iMac G4 models. Compared to later iMac designs, I thought these were a piece of cake to work with.
Anyway, the answer is No. The graphics can't be upgraded. -
Can't Upgrade Lenovo Yoga 11s mSATA SSD
I recently purchased a refurbished Lenovo Yoga 11s from Tiger Direct along with an 8 GB RAM upgrade and a 480 GB Crucial mSATA SSD. The RAM replacement was easy. However, I have tried for three weeks to clone, reinstall, or recover my OS installation to the new SSD, and everything has failed. I’ve done extensive research on this forum and others but can’t find a solution.
The 11s came with Windows 8 on a 128 GB mSATA SSD. I updated it to 8.1 and installed a bunch of my own apps before attempting the clone. The 480 GB Crucial SSD definitely works. I have an external USB enclosure and when it’s inserted it reads just fine on multiple machines. I disabled Fast Boot and Secure Boot and have experimented with both Legacy and UEFI boot modes.
Here’s what I’ve tried:
1. Cloning via Easeus Todo Backup directly through Windows 8. The clone appeared to be successful but the new drive wouldn’t boot. I tried boot repair using both a Lenovo and a standard Windows Recovery USB that I made before beginning all of this. In each case Startup Repair says it can’t find the required partition. Also, the BIOS doesn’t recognize the new SSD when I have a Recovery USB inserted.
2. Cloning by booting directly to a Clonezilla Live USB. Again, the clone appeared successful but after swapping the SSDs the new one wouldn’t boot, and both Recovery USBs wouldn’t work.
3. Cloning AGAIN by booting directly to Clonezilla Live USB, this time with the new SSD attached to the mobo and the original in the USB enclosure. In this attempt, Clonezilla only recognized the 128 GB SSD and didn’t recognize the 480 attached to the mobo. (Although I don't think I'd partitioned the new SSD in this attempt, so maybe that would change things?)
4. Cloning via Paragon’s “Migrate OS”. I had high hopes for this because others have reported good results. Again, the clone appears successful but after swapping it won’t boot. And I did check the “create UEFI boot” option on Paragon.
5. In desperation, I “borrowed” a copy of Windows 8 on a USB to see if I could do a fresh installation, since apparently you can’t just easily reinstall Win8 on an OEM machine. I’m at the point where I’d pay for a Win8 license just to have my own copy and avoid this OEM nonsense—but I want to be sure it would work on this SSD first. However, the copy I was using won’t install because it doesn’t recognize the new SSD. If I put the BIOS into Legacy Boot mode, it will recognize the Win8 USB but not the new mSATA drive. If I put it into UEFI it recognizes the mSATA drive but won’t recognize the USB.
I’m at my wit’s end here. Clearly other people have successfully upgraded their 11s machines (like this guy: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Lenovo-Yoga-11s-SSD-and-RAM-Upgrade-Great-Results/td-p/1195545) Maybe the 11s motherboard won’t accept a 480 GB SSD? Or maybe it’s just strangely incompatible with this particular model? (This is what I’m using: http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT480M500SSD3) Is there something else painfully obvious I’m missing?
Please help! I love this little machine but if I can’t get the SSD upgraded it’s going to find another home.

Moderator note: Crucial link fixed.That's EXACTLY what it is. I originally bought an ivy bridge 11s and I went ahead and tried the new drive in it and it worked just fine. I have also been posting in another forum...here's my last post: I think I figured it out... I have another Yoga 11s here beside me, the Ivy Bridge version; the bios in that machine sees the ssd just fine. The difference is the bios versions. The one that won't see it is 8FCN19WW(V1.00)-the haswell 11s. The one that WILL see it is 77CN19WW(V1.05). So now I'm trying to fig out how to get that V1.00 bios updated to V1.05. That's the only thing I can think of to do. Keep you posted... So, I guess I have to choose between the haswell processor or larger ssd. I can always just switch the gray covers for the orange cause I'm liking the orange WAY better. TBH, I'm not really seeing a big diff between the ivy bridge and haswell anyway... I only got about 4.5 hrs battery life, which is what I got with the IB. There was also supposed to be a better wireless card but the reception and speed is the same as well. I may just end up keeping the Ivy Bridge because of the better bios. There is absolutely no way to update the bios in either of these machines so we're basically just stuck with what we get. If you DO like the 11s as much as I do, you can always find an Ivy Bridge model and is should work just fine for you. The Micro Center here in town is selling IB refurbs for $499. Probably the same price online. Write more later...

What ox can I upgrade to from Snow Leopard? Preparation?
I have a MB Pro with Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. What system can I upgrade to now? How best to prepare my computer for upgrade? I am not an advanced computer tech. Thank you.
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
OS X 10.7 Lion system requirements
Purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
To use OS X 10.7 Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
To install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (free upgrade, but currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite (currently available free upgrade) you need one of these Macs:
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.
http://roaringapps.com/
If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.
Good Luck! -
