Do I need to buy new programs for osx lion?

Do I need to buy new programs for osx lion?

First you need to make sure you have a supported machine, and all the current updates (Core 2 Duo, i3/5/7 and 10.6.8.)
If you are using Microsoft Office 2004/8, then you will need to buy Office 2011. If you are using older versions of Adobe Photoshop before CS3 that are PPC only, then you will need to buy a newer Adobe CS.
If you are running iWork 08, it will work, but there will be no support for full screen unless you have 09 version. If you use Apple software like Final Cut or Logic Studio, you will also need the latest versions to use full screen support.
Basically, if you have any software installed that is more than 2 years old, you need to check if it is Intel, PPC or Universal. Because anthing that is listed as PPC will not work at all. And most Apple apps older than 2 years do not have any support for the new Full Screen or Versions features.
If you want to see if you have any PPC apps that are not supported at all, simply click the Apple icon at the top, click about this Mac, then click more info. System Profiler will open, on the left side click on "Applications" and you will see a list of every installed app. The far right column will tell you KIND, Intel, Universal or PPC. Anything in the list that says PPC will not work after installing Lion.

    No. Ask your carrier if they have a plan that will give you a discounted rate on roaming. That is what I have done for my travels and it has worked very well for me.

  • Do I need to buy Pages again for my new ipad 2?

    I have Pages on my Macbook Pro. Do I need to buy it again for my new ipad 2? I can't seem to find a way of accessing it from the ipad.

    Yes, you will need to buy the app version from the app store if you want to use it on the iPad - the version on your Mac (OS X) is not compatible with the iPad (iOS), they are different operating systems

    Do i need to buy external microphone for my new HP Desktop model p6821pb ?
    I can hear when others speak on my Skype Call but they cannot hear me.
    I thought new models don't need external

    Hi,
    Sorry to say, but you'll need to buy an external microphone - there is no internal hardware for this.
    Best regards,

  • What do I need to buy in order for my iPod Classic 160GB to connect with my blue tooth speaker

    Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
    However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
    Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.
    Are you using the track freeze option to manage the track count and subsequent demands on your machine?

  • Can I upgrade from CS5 InDesign to CS6 InDesign, or do I need to buy new software?

    Can I upgrade from CS5 InDesign to CS6 InDesign, or do I need to buy new software?

    Of this I'm positive: There will be no upgrades for InDesign CS6 (except if there were a security issue). Adobe never adds updates to an earlier version. The current version is InDesign CC. InDesign CS6 will always be as it is now.
    What you may have read is that Adobe says it will keep selling InDesign CS6 for the forseeable future.

  • 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?

    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.

  • I need some Important Trigger Programs for Objects

    I need some Important Trigger Programs for Objects.
    If the program includes the V-array appln, that would be better to.

    There are some drawbacks, running Windows 7 (only) on a Mac via Bootcamp yields less than stellar results, especially with the Retina display.
    And of your traveling, the Mac's high power needs (especially the Retina display) and lack of removable battery are going to be a serious issue. The Retina display is glossy, not ideal for viewing on the road and in varied environments.
    CS4 won't run on the OS X version that comes with a Mac, so your looking at purchasing CS6.
    Support for Windows is more widespread than for Mac's, also if you ever need to redownload OS X to fix a issue, requires a fast reliable Internet connection of the broadband kind.
    If your running Windows on your Mac, you can expect to be on your own and not get support as easily as if you were running it on a regular PC.
    If you can't afford to keep up with CS upgrades, then you shouldn't be considering a Mac because there are more paid upgrades on that than on Windows 7, it's like a annual nightmare.
    IMMO your still better off on a decent,  1920 x 1080 res, matte screen, removable battery (with extras), Win 7 Pro i7 machine (Pro+ runs XP programs) which will stay like it is and get security updates until 2020.
    OS X changes every year and if you don't upgrade, + all your third party software, then about 3 years later your left behind for updates.
    Also you will have to buy Win 7 to run on your Mac, the OEM disks won't work.
    If your trying to budget, then a Mac is certainly not for you.

  • How can i buy new battery for my macBook pro in France

    Hello,
    Please, someone can tell me how to find and buy new battery for my 2008 macBook pro in France ?
    This one is very old, i already changed this battery one time, i think Apple store of town won't be ok to make the work cause i have made it myself one time before (it has fallen several times, almost broken, means impossible to shut the battery place but still working on). So i bought a battery to a third provider, wich doesn't work of course, try to ask to online assistance but i have to pay 30 € just to ask my question and i doesn't want...
    SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION TO CHANGE MY BATTERY ??? HELP !!!
    I bought it in 2008. I don't know exactly the serie. Just know it's a 2,4 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo.
    The reference of battery is A1281 10,8V 50 Wh. Can't find it on the store. The only one i found was on a website who didn't tell it's was a fake... 
    Lost 85 €

    Here are the International Apple support telephone numbers:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/he57
    I note Egypt is not listed.
    Purchasing a battery from a third party vendor is a high risk proposition.  Many such batteries have been found to be substandard. 
    I suggest that you try and contact Apple and see if you can have one shipped to you.
    Ciao.

  • I need to buy a license for Flex Builder 2.0 as I do?

    I need to buy a license for Flex Builder 2.0 as I do?

    The Airport built-in to the iMac is exactly the same standard as that used in PC's 802.11b/g compatible and possibly 802.11n as well depending on the model. It means that anywhere you use can use a PC for wireless you should be able to use the iMac. It sounds as though your wireless network is protected with a WEP Key or similar encryption method and you have not entered the correct key into the iMac when attempting to join the wireless network or have not selected the appropriate key type from the drop down list. Quite a common situation is that if your password for your wireless network is a hex key, i.e only contains the numbers 0-9 and letters A-F then you need to select WEP Hex Key as the password type when joining the wireless network not WEP Password.

  • I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?

    I bought iWork family. Do I need to buy a app for iCloud too?

    No. You will not be able to work on documents that are stored in your iCloud.com account. You will able to download them from the cloud and revise them on your Mac. You don't need another app for that. You will need to buy the appropriate apps for the iDevices if you want to sync across all devices - Pages, Keynote and Numbers.
    The documents will sync across all devices that are Set up to use iCloud. You need to set up iCloud on the Mac and your iDevices in order for the documents to sync across all devices. You must be running Lion 10.7.2 on the Mac to use all of the features of iCloud.

    The iPhone and the Mac do not run on the same operating system. IPhone apps do not run on a Mac. Mac apps do not run iPhone. If the developer has created an app for both the iPhone and the Mac they almost always sell them separately in the respective app stores.

  • Where to buy new drives for Xserve RAID

    I have been looking all over to buy NEW drives for my RAID. Can anyone direct me where to go to buy new drives with the slot attachment? 500GB or 750GB
    Forgive my lack of specific/correct terminology - I am a newbie when it comes to the RAID.
    Thanks in advance!

    I think the fine print says DVD Player support requires 10.3 or higher. But you can still play DVDs in the original drive you have, and are looking to add a drive in the empty bay, right?
    Also, Patchburn is available for 10.2 to add native burning support, or you can maybe find an old version of Toast (5 ?) for 10.2 that should allow you to burn to the drive.
    http://patchburn.de/download.html
    I agree with the suggestion to upgrade to 10.3 or 10.4, if you can, but you should be able to make this drive work in 10.2 (and still use the original for OS 9 and DVD Player) and decide to do the other upgrades later on if you want.
