Can I upgrade to Lion with an Intel iMac with 1 GB RAM. I am getting conflicting info (from Apple advisors) whether I need 2GB -which I can do by adding 1, or 3 -which apparently I can't do. Anybody successful in upgrading to Lion with 1 or 2 GB Ram?
I am getting conflicting info (from Apple folks) whether I can upgrade to Lion with 1 GB Ram. Some are saying I need 2 (which I can do by adding memory) - or 3 (which I'm not sure I can do). Anyone running Lion with 1 GB? 2? I am at Leopard 10.5.8 to run some recording mixer which the company (Alesis) told me they weren't going to support drivers to Lion, but I guess they changed their minds. Am I clear on this? thanks.
The hardware requirements for Lion are an intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM.
I wouldn't even both trying with 1GB, and even with 2GB Lion may struggle. If you intend to upgrade to Lion, can I suggest you max out your RAM. RAM is cheap at the moment.
Which model mac mini do you have?

Have conflicting views from apple Specialits; I'm ready to buy my 1st Mac. However, I work with a PC user with MS Publisher files a lot. Can Apple PAGES open .pub files, edit and resave them? OR, do I have to buy Publisher software for Macs? if yes to buy, any recommendations?
If you want to switch from PC to Apple I recommend a programm like Parallels.
It has a tool (believe its called transporter) which runs on your current PC and creates a file (big) which is a "virual machine". It is a 1:1 copy of your PC which will run under parallels on your iMac.
You will be running your "old" PC as it was under MAC OS X while you run MAC applikations etc at the same time.
This is how I made the transition to Apple. -

I want to develop a software with AirPaly service for business things. How can I get the permission from Apple?
This one is used in Windows laptop, and I want it support AirPlay service, but Apple doesn't publish the AirPlay protocol.
Many thanks.Create a developer account, then access he developers forums and see if you can find the information that way
The other option would be to simply contact Apple directly. -
my computer crashed and I no longer have the itunes library. i get an error msg that my iphone 3g is synced to another library - how can I get the info from the phone to the itunes library without losing everything? How do I delete old audiobooks from my iphone?
You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?
I lost all my purchased songs when my hard drive. Can I get another copy from Apple?
Quite possibly, at least assuming you are based in the US. Install the latest build of iTunes, sign into the iTunes Store and click the Purchased entry in the Quck Links panel. Here in the UK I only get tabs fro Apps and Books but, if I understand correctly, you should also get a tab for Music. Click on the Not in My Library button and you should be able to download your purchases again.

epson scanner perfection 1640 SU <folder is not writeable> seem to happen after mountian lion upgrade .epson site says get the driver from apple. apple says no updates available. I had this problem the last time I upgraded but I do not recall how I fixed it.
Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

My rescue email address is no longer used, I can't get any emails from apple about my security questions. What shall I do?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Hello. I have bought an iMac in Ft.Lauderdale but now i'm in Ukraine. I lost the receipt and in order to get my iMac fixed they told me to get an invoice from Apple. So how can i get an invoice from Apple? Thank you!
If you bought it from an Apple Store you will need to contact the Apple Store to see if they can help you. This forum is a user to user forum and frankly I've never seen a question like yours come up. If you purchased it with a credit card then it should be pretty simple to get a copy of your statement and see if the "they" you are referring to will accept that as proof of purchase.
Good luck! -

Warranties on most any product cover manufacturer defects, NOT damage that you do to the product.
If you scratch your tv does the warranty cover it?
Your computer?
Your car?

How can I get a document from apple online store with IMEI number on it?
Hi
I got my iPhone stolen, and currently have insurance requesting a document with IMEI number on it, I called apple and they say this doesn't exist?
I tried to explain to insurance, but they won't listen. I have sent in packing list, shipping notification, and scan of sticker on box with IMEI and serial number.
2nd email
Thank you for your email. We require a document with the full IMEI number on it. Once this is received we will be able to continue processing the claim.
Kind regards
1st email
thank you for sending us your documents, unfortunately the proof of purchase you have sent in does not show the serial number or the imei number, so i cannot match it to the side of the box label to use the two together for a proof of ownership .To enable us to continue with the processing of your claim, we require a valid proof of purchase for the mobile phone you are claiming for.
This must confirm the make, model and IMEI (International Manufacturers Electronic Identity) number of your phone and can be either a letter from your airtime provider on their letter-headed paper, a copy of the original receipt or despatch note that was provided to you when your phone was purchased. (this is not a air time bill)
Thanks a lot,I bought from Apple online store, and IMEI only appears on sticker on the box which I've peeled off , scanned and emailed. Called apple and they said document doesn't exist with IMEI number on it. I've saw on another post someone managed to get apple to send them receipt with all the info within 3 days so I'll call back tomorrow, just the guy I spoke today didn't think it was possible.
Thanks -
I haven't been able to update my credit card info from the one Apple has to the one at the bank with is the one linked to my card. And I have had a nightmare just getting someone to help me. I can't update an app that I actually really need to use. I am losing money everyday this is not resolved
No this was absolutely of no help what so ever!!!!1I have had this issue before and it was also a nightmare. I don't understand why you have to go thru so much pain until you can talk to a real person. I don't have 48 hours. I use this app to make money. I can't update it, so I can't use it, all because I can't update my info, which is clearly on the Apple side. Not my bank (like they first want to say), not me, I know who I am, but it must be something on apple's side. And to wait 48 hours for an email response to tragic . I can't believe a company with as much assets as Apple can't get a real person to help me sort this out. I had this same problem years ago, and it was the same mess. Whay do I keep doing this? Am I just one of the bovine masses who just have to have an iPhone? Yikes

HT6061 Where can you get a replacement 512 SSD drive for these? Can you get one directly from Apple?
Looking to purchase the original 512 ssd drive that comes in the late 2013 mac pros.. i cant find anywhere online but Ebay to buy one from. Are they available directly from Apple?
Apple does not sell the SSD parts separately to my knowledge. If your SSD is defective and was an original Apple item, any Apple Store or authorized Apple service provider can replace it. They won't sell you the part so you can do your own repair, though.
Why would you need to replace yours when your Mac is still in warranty? Are you trying to upgrade? If so, I don't know of any available as of this time, though OWC says they'll have SSD upgrades for the 2013 MP later this year.
Regards.
