  • I have leopard and want to upgrade to lion. I have a macbook about 3 years old and wonder if I should just get a new macbook pro ($$$) instead. Is it worth the headache to upgrade to snow leopard and then lion? How does lion perform on an intel core duo 2

    I have a macbook about 3 years old running leopard. I amwondering ifitwouldbeworth the trouble to install snowleopardand then lion ($60.00) or just buy a new macbook pro ($$$$$$). How does lion perform on an intel core 2 duo processor?

    I have Lion installed on a Mini with a C2D processor. The same Mini has Snow Leopard on another partition and there is no noticeable difference in operational speed between the two OS's. But compared to my new MBPro 17" with a 2.83GHz i7, the Mini running Lion is noticeably slower. So if you can afford anew MBPro, then I would get it because you will probably be unhappy with the performance of Lion on the older MBPro. The other benefit of getting a new MBPro with Lion is that if you have any Power PC applications currently on the old MBPro, which will not operate in Lion, then you still have the ability to use them. Many users got stung by upgrading to Lion, only to find they could no longer use the older PPC applications.

  • I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

    I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly.  There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS.  There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement.  If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
    I have an aphorism:  Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality.  Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.

    Not even close - 3.06GHz is a dual core - 1066MHz system bus.
    2.7GHz = Quad Core - 1600MHz system bus.
    Which do you think is faster?

  • Upgrade or get a new one- Macbookpro. 15. 2.6Intel Core 2 or Mac mini

    At home I have my old MacBook Pro  15 inch - 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4Gb 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM. conected to an apple cinema dysplay  With system10,8,2 and 250GBof Disk.
    My most demanding usage is working with apperture pictures of about 12MB and library of 70GB.  Creating presentations with Keynote and using some video.
    Lattly I found that my computer goes slowl, and I have run some software to "clean the computer and organize the disk", It has improved but still is slow, even my MackBook Air (2nd genereration is faster).
    I am thinking on changing the hard disk from 250 (Used 200), to a bigger may be "fusion", disk and upgrading from 4GB to 8 Gb faster RAM, or just may be switching to a New MacMini, since I use my macbook air for laptop....
    MacMini
    2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
    4GB memory
    1TB hard drive1
    Intel HD Graphics 4000
    Any Sugestions....will be worth it the inversion of the "old Powerbook" is beggining of 2008.....If I get the new Mac mini....I will be loosing the screen of the MacBookPro......
    Any sugestions will be really appreciated......
    Thank you

    It looks that I will need to get something new...will be the Mac mini enough,or I need to go for a new imac.....
    I have a 20 inch apple cinema dysplay (about 3 years old) mouse...keywoard.....

  • Getting a new MBP and I have a few questions

    I'm getting a new MacBook Pro, replacing my Late 2008 model (2.8 GHz T9600, 320 GB HD, 4 GB RAM) for this years' late 2011 model, a 2.4 GHz (2760QM) quad-core Intel Core i7 Sandy Bridge, 750 GB, 4 GB RAM.
    Now, this new computer is basically an early xmas gift, as opposed to an informed purchase. I haven't done much research on the latest MBP, or their improvements in the past 3 years, so my first question is...how much of an improvement is this computer from my old 2008 model? Even though it's 3 years old, I've never had many problems with it. Programs like Photoshop and Logic work well. The only time the computer has shown its limitations is when I started playing Starcraft II. 
    Another issue: As we all know, our computers can get cluttered over time with forgotten apps, old versions of apps, old preferences or system files, remnants of apps I've deleted (I do have CleanApp but the program scares me...I'm afraid of deleting something important)...just digital garbage that manages to accumlate over time. There's some critical things that I want to transfer over from my old computer to the new one, but I don't want to transfer that clutter either. I'm pretty sure I prefer to start with a fresh disk and just slowly go through my old data while reinstalling the apps I want, but that brings up concerns about products that limit # of installs. I also don't want to worry about forgetting something, not realizing I've overlooked it until a while later. I'm sure I'm overthinking all this, but I'm sure people on here have gone through these options. I want to start fresh, but not completely fresh, you know? (e.g. I don't mind reinstalling Chrome, but I want to keep all my bookmarks)
    Last issue,
    I may possibly enter a line of work where I'll need to work with Windows (uggh), so I want to know what the better option is...Boot Camp or Parallels? I had Parallels on the old computer and I found it frustrating. Especially since all of the Windows apps/files show themselves on Launchpad, or sometimes I would accidentally select a Windows item while in Finder and Parallels would start booting. Boot Camp seems much simpler, but I've never used it. Can you use an external hard drive for it, or do you have to partition your internal one? Is there someway you can transfer files between operating systems...this is the only appeal of Parallels if not. It doesn't have to be instantaneous; just wondering if I can access windows files while in OS X and vice versa.
    Sorry for long post and all the questions , I look forward to the responses.

    Performance differences for simple applications will be virtually undetectable when compared with your older MBP.  The more complex the application, the differences will be revealed.  Games often are notorious resource hogs and I suspect you will see a significant improvement there.
    As far as transferring data, that is an individual call as to what is desirable and should be retained and what can be omited.  Before you start the transfer process, do have backups just in case.
    Best of luck with your new MBP.
    Ciao.

  • How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro?

    How do I get my new 27" Thunderbolt Display to work with my mid-2010 Macbook Pro? Or am I SOL?
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:    MacBook Pro
      Model Identifier:    MacBookPro6,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core i7
      Processor Speed:    2.8 GHz
      Number of Processors:    1
      Total Number of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache (per Core):    256 KB
      L3 Cache:    4 MB
      Memory:    8 GB
      Processor Interconnect Speed:    4.8 GT/s
      Boot ROM Version:    MBP61.0057.B0F
      SMC Version (system):    1.57f18

    You can't. Theoretically, Thunderbolt devices that only transfer video and audio should work with Mini DisplayPort MacBooks like yours, but it's not the case of the Thunderbolt Display. Its firmware doesn't allow it to be used with non-Thunderbolt Macs, so you can't use the Thunderbolt Display with the Mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
    Instead, you have to look for another screen, or you can get an adapter and connect the MacBook Pro to a TV

  • How do I get my new Mustek scanner to work over Airport Extreme?

    We can't get our new scanner to even show up over our wireless network.
    When I hook it straight to my iMac (2.8 GHz Intel Core Duo, OS X 10.6.8 [Snow Leopard]), I can use the enclosed software (ImageAcquire), but it does NOT show up either in ImageCapture nor can I add it via the Print & Fax preferences.  When I hook it through our (previous generation) AirPort Extreme, it doesn't even show up in the ImageAcquire software that came with it, and I get the message that a cable is disconnected.
    The scanner is a Mustek A3 ScanExpress 2400, and is supposed to work on Macs, since it has its own drivers.  I have downloaded the most current drivers and software direct from the manufacturer.  Apple doesn't have it listed in Software Update.
    We have successfully run our HP scanner/printer over AirPort.
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    When you say that you are hooking up the Mustek device, I assume that you mean via the USB port on the AirPort. Is that correct?
    If you are connecting the Mustek device via the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, and the device does not appear when you click Print & Fax, that would likely indicate that Mustek has not provided network drivers for their device.
    The USB port on the AirPort is far different than the USB port on a computer.
    You might want to ask Mustek support if they have network drivers available for use on an Apple AirPort router.
    Keep in mind that in almost all cases, only the print function is supported when you connect an all-in-one or combo device to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    Unless something has changed very recently, you will not be able to use the scan function when you connect your other HP device to the USB port on the AirPorts.
    If you are connecting the HP using wireless only or via Ethernet, then you should have full functionality that way.

  • Battery exchange program - why wouldn't I get a new battery?

    Hi everyone,
    My MBP from December 2006 has a bad battery.
    39% capacity
    173 loadcycles
    turns off the computer without warning at high battery level
    Now, happily I think I can get a new one because of the date of my computer and the symptoms. Well, wrong according to Apple support in Denmark.
    They checked the serialnumber of my computer (not the battery) and said it was not included in the program.
    Anyone else get the same story?
    What can I do?

    The other program is still linked to at http://www.apple.com/au/support/macbookpro/batteryexchange/faq/
    We have seen a few instances here where support staff (both at Apple and dealers) have not realised the programs are different , and tried to apply the "serial number" process to the program where this is not relevant. Sometimes simply speaking to a different person there will resolve the issue. Some people have needed to specifically talk the support people through the two different programs though.
    I don't see anywhere that it is limited to two years. Maybe I read loyer language very well.
    see the final paragrpah of the page you linked to:
    +This program extends repair coverage on the battery for up to two years from the date of purchase of the computer for Intel Core Duo-based MacBook and MacBook Pro computers.+

  • Error: -69774: Couldn't bring the new Core Storage Logical Volume online

    Hi,
    I have a filevault encrypted drive (750GB).
    I first noticed a problem when it prompted my for the FileVault passphrase (which I had stored in my keychain) and entering the correct passphrase resulted in the typical "error" response (the sideways "bouncing" entry field) asking me for the passphrase again.
    So I get a list of the corestorage to get the UUID of the encrypted volume:

    BTW: after a while I also hear a single clicking sound (head jumping back on drive) so I am not sure if it might be a physical disk failure.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage revert UUID -stdinpassphrase which returned "Error: -69854: A disk with a mount point is required"
    Also, I've tried Terminal command: diskutil corestorage changeVolumePassword UUID -newpassphrase which returned "Error beginning CoreStorage Logical Volume unlock: The target Core Storage volume is not encrypted (-69755)"

  • I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?

    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
    If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=10.6+snow+leopard&_sacat=0&_odkw=mac+os+10.6 &_osacat=0
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • My macbook is OSX 10.6.8, should I try to upgrade it or just get a new mac?

    My macbook is OSX 10.6.8, should I try to upgrade it or get a new macbook?

    Depends on how old it is and if it is able to do what you need it to do. Apple does not make a MacBook any longer. There are just 13" and 15" MacBook Pros.
    If you need to upgrade OS X, then find out if your model can be upgraded past Snow Leopard. Note that Lion and later do not support any PPC-only software because the Rosetta emulator no longer works after Snow Leopard.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • Upgrade cpu or get a new laptop?

    I currently have a compaq presario cq56 notebook pc that only has the intel celeron processing unit (Sadly my mom didn't know anything about cpu or memory and just picked a random laptop for me). I am constantly running into conflicts because the cpu is too slow to suit my needs, I'm a college student that is constantly working on ten things at once!
    I am very satisfied with the laptop other than the cpu problem so I've run into the dilemma of not knowing whether or not to try and upgrade my processor or simply get a new laptop all together.
    Buying a new processor is cheaper than a new laptop (the cheaper the better since college forces me live on way too tight of a budget) but I don't even know how to find out what processors are compatible with this laptop specifically. I think the intel core i5 would be strong enough to suit my needs but will that processor be compatible with the compaq presario cq56?
    So basically, would it be worth it to just upgrade my CPU or will that not change much and should I just take the leap and get a completely new laptop?
    current processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU    900 @ 2.20GHz   2.19GHz
    current installed memory:     2.00 GB
    current system type:     64-bit operating system

    Hi,
    This is a list of processors supported from day 1:
    Intel® Celeron® 900 processor (2.2 GHz)
    Intel® Pentium® T4500 processor (2.3 GHz)
    Intel Celeron T3500 processor (2.1 GHz)
    Intel Celeron T3300 processor (2.0 GHz)
    Looks like you can't upgrade to anywhere only some T or may be P CPU's.
    Regards.

  • Getting a new Macbook Pro

    I am getting a new Macbook Pro and I don't know which one to get. I will either get the high-end 13" or the low-end 15". I am a high school student that will be running Photoshop Elements, Microsoft Office, and heavy Internet browsing, such as building a website using online building software. I will be doing a lot of graphic design as well. My main concern is will I suffer from portibility with the 15" or suffering from not getting the quad core processor with the 13". Which should I get?

    If you will be doing graphic design I would say get the 15 inch. Like you said it has a quad core processor and it has dedicated video processor/ram

  • Getting a new iMac - overwhelmed w info here but need help

    Hi,
    I'm getting a new iMac next week and need help with Blackberry Bold 9000 issues and syncing with iCal, etc on the machine.  I have been told that I can buy an app for about $30 that will sync the BB with the mac programs but reading here, I am confused - are some of the posts here and the KB notes related to syncing directly with the mac software or are they only for making a separate BB desktop for the mac?
    I have looked at several of the KB notes but I haven't found the answer yet.

    What’s the difference between:
    8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x2GB http://Add $200.00...
    (from 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x2GB)
    and
    8GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB http://Add $600.00
    4GB DIMMs are at present significantly more expensive than 2GB DIMMs. It's your choice whether to pay the extra money and have empty slots available for additional future memory expansion (without removing any existing memory).
    I presume 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel i7 is bigger, or more powerful than the 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo of the 21.5” iMac model. Correct?
    Generally yes. You can see benchmarks on places like Barefeats if you want to see comparison numbers.
    it appears the CD/DVD problem thing is not evident in the 27” model as it at least was in the 21.5” model. Right?
    I can't add anything to what I said on the subject previously.
    cracked screens upon opening the box of the new computer, were much more of a problem for the bigger, 27” models that the 21.5” models. Hopefully, Apple has taken care of that by packaging them more carefully.
    I haven't seen a report of any cracked screens in several weeks now. But with the gorillas the shipping companies tend to use, there are no guarantees. I once received a pallet-load of computers that the trucking company had driven a forklift blade through. So you never know how your computer might arrive. The prevalence of problems seems to have been alleviated, though.
    Regards.
