G4 to Mac Pro Laptop
I'm an old lady that is FINALLY going from my G4 Power Book to a Mac Pro Laptop due to problems with java script I just can't get solved. I've been out of the Apple loop for so long I'm terrified of the incompatibilities of my files on the G4 with the new laptop. with the Intel processer. Will I be able to transfer my files from the G4 via my Jump Drive? For example: I have lots of Word files that I want to transfer to the new Word. I now have a wireless router I just bought to watch Netflix instantly. Will that have to be changed? Will all my "drivers" ? for my camera, printer, etc. word with the new procosser?
Sig, thank you!! My first computer was an Apple ll so I know how important in the Apple world it is to get the terms right. This 70 lady had been out of the loop too long and since I'm on a pension this is a HUGE committment. I now know I'm getting a notebook. I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't know and am grateful to you for setting me straight so I don't further look "out of it". You were so kind to answer my questions. I'm mostly relieved that I can use my flash drive to transfer my files. My old Word (10.1.4) I knew would probably have to be replaced. Now I have to go to Microsoft Office to find out the proper name for my new email program. I use Entourage , and I do know Microsoft has changed that. I use Photoshop Elements 3 which will probably also have to be replaced but will happily use iPhoto until I can afford it. My printer is a Lemark S300-S500. I'll go look to see if I need a new driver. I'm curious about the scrolling in Lion...I'm so excited to see all these things. Once I made the decision to buy ,even if it meant paying "on time" for 18 mos, I've been reading these boards like crazy...I'm most concerned about the noise and the back lighting on the screen but an Apple is an Apple. After being madly passionately in love with Apple for all these years (I am a retired old maid elementary teacher) I just KNEW there would be some kind person in the Apple world that would take the time to answer my dumb questions. Thank you soooo much.

Hi,
I am a long time Palm enthusiast who is frustrated. No more Palm products for me or anyone I speak to until I solve this problem. Someone at Palm should be paying attention to their long time cusotmers. I bought Palms in 2002 and 2003.
The support literature coming with two Treo 755p that I bought was so poor that never saw the fine print that there was three months of support if I registered the devices. The registration page does not let me register. All the fields are ghosted after I put in the serial number. I bought one in June 2008 and the other in early 2008. So never registered and can get no help from Palm now it seems.
So beside that gripe below is the problem issue info.
I can't get a Verizon Treo 755p to USB cable Hot Synch with my daughters 17" Mac Pro Laptop. It is using OS 10.5x She lives in another city so I am trouble shooting this remotely.
Did - Revd Palm upgrage has been installed.
PalmDesktopMac421Revd.dmg (17MB)
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE/,/?St=4518,E=0000000000255177998,K=6239,Sxi=3,case=obj(33...
Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications.
That process worked however on my own Treo 755p Verizon as below:
After much work, hours over several months, I got my my Treo 755p Verizon to Hot Synch with a QuickSilver desk top Mac running os 10.5x.
Did the RevD upgrade.
Did in advanced settings on the Treo select in the Synch preferences allow other Hot Sync applications. Otherwise the Wireless Synch feature prevents a Hot Synch.
Once those both were done than Hot Synch works fine, and Wireless Synch works fine and does not interfere.
The Wireless on both PDAs is scheduled to be removed on both Treos due the economy on Feb. 4th, so I would like the HotSynch to be working so her Treo is backed up.
Thanks so much to anyone who replies to help out.
Best

This question was solved.
View Solution.Works now, she had created a user ID as prompted when installing the HotSynch Software, but it was not the same name of the Treo 755p. The default ID was the one she from installing the software, so it showed nothing in address or contacts, but when she switched to the Treo ID than all her stuff was there.

I have been using a Lightroom 5 including recent upgrades on my Mac Pro laptop for the past 1 year. This was purchased as an upgrade from Lightroom 4 for which I have a serial number. Today I purchased a new Macbook pro and loaded my Lightroom 5 however it is asking for my serial number which I have misplaced. I am unable to trace my serial number anywhere. I have even checked my adobe membership to locate my serial number but it does not seem to have any record which is strange as I have been using this software for over a year now and the previous versions since 2009. Could someone help me in my predicament.

I am running system 10.5.8 on my 17" mac pro laptop and using Firefox 3.6.17, I have tried on several occasions to install your new version 4 and when I drag icon onto my applications folder it tells me I have a newer version already there (which is now the 3.6.17). What is going on?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com -
moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can with be done with no OS/Hardware issues?
babowa wrote:
Thanks; however, I was really referring to this: if it is preinstalled on a Mac, I believe the license is for that computer only (unlike an MAS purchased version which can be used on any Mac owned). Has that requirement changed?
At this moment, that's correct. The OS X license included with a Mac can only be used with that Mac. However, in the case the OP has purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the past, this may change -

When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around. -

I bought the UnZipper, vV1.0.00 (4+) , couldn't download (it reported an error in the end), didn't install it but still, I was charged. Also I can't update "The Unarchiver", could I have any problems with my Mac? It's a one-year-old Mac Pro Laptop. Could you help me please?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)Check under App Store/Purchases for your purchase. Install it from there again. ... Hopefully you did buy this from Apple's App Store, right!

HT5544 Can you read ibooks on mac pro laptop?
If I download the ibooks app to my mac pro laptop, and then purchase an ibook through itunes, can I read it from my mac pro laptop or do I need an iPad, iPod or iPhone?
Hi rosemaryfromdelta,
No, you cannot read iBooks on a Mac. However, you can read Kindle books on a Mac. Download the free Kindle application, set up a Kindle account on Amazon, and purchase your e-books through the Kindle store on Amazon.
P.S. - if you do ever get an iPad, iPhone, or iPod, you can also download the Kindle app to them, and you will be able to read any books you have purchased on those devices as well....
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
