Have a macbook with 10.6.8. Best upgrade to?
I have a macbook currently with OS 10.6.8. What would be best upgrade to? I am not very tech savvy so simplicity is best for me. Thanks.
How high you can upgrade depends on the Model Identifier of your Macbook.
Go to Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info. With Hardware shown on the left, look at the right side, second line from the top.
Macbook5,1 and later can be upgraded to Mavericks, the current version of Mac OS.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading... -
I have a macbook with Iphoto 8.1.2. How do I get it to stop importing duplicates even after I checkbox tell it not to.
How do I get it to stop importing duplicates even after I checkbox tell it not to.
That checkmark will only prevent iPhoto from importing exact duplicates - the exact filename, image format, exactly the same size,
What kind of duplicates are you asking about? Have the files been renamed or converted in any way? -

I have a macbook with 1 gb ram, 2 rams with 512 mb. I am planning to replace one with 2gb ram. Do I need to reinstall OS if I replace one of them? Please help. Thanks.
If you want to upgrade your RAM it;s very easy on most MacBooks with the removable battery. We'll need to know the model to further advise you. 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.
1,1 (Early 2006) can handle 2gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
2,1 (Late 2006 & Mid 2007) can handle 3gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
3,1 (Late 2007) can handle 4gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
4,1 (Early 2008) can handle 6gb of 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM

I have just tried to update the software on my iPad and it is now asking me to connect to iTunes. The last time I did this it did not tell me to do this. I'm currently travelling and do not have my MacBook with my iTunes.Can it be resolved without iTunes
I hope that you can see this response. The forum software is acting quite bizarre today.
You really do want to restore with your own computer. There is an off chance that you might be able to backup first, but I really think it is a very slight chance now since you got the connect to iTunes screen. But on the chance that when you connect, it sees the iPad and allows a backup, I would to not have you wait to use your own Mac.
If you cannot create a backup, you will lose everything that you have put on since the date to the last backup. So of your last backup was three weeks ago, you will restore the iPad to the condition that it was in three weeks ago.
If you do a lot of traveling, using iCloud for backups might be a very good idea. I use iTunes primarily and I backup my MacBook Pro with Time Capsule, but I still use iCloud as a secondary backup. I don't have enough data that I have exceeded the free 5 GB that you get with iCloud, so I do use it just in case.
I can't explain what happened with the update, I can only tell you that it does happen to other users. I have never had a problem when I updated and I having been updating over WiFi since iOS 5 came out. Taking a guess, maybe an interruption in the connection - especially of you tried updating using a hotel's WiFi network, or a power surge maybe. Whatever the cause, it is most likely a one time thing. That doesn't help your situation I know, but hopefully it won't happen again. -
I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes. Apparently I cannot downgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone. Please tell me I don't have to pay anything to be able to use my products......
Which version of iTunes?
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
Unless this is a new iPhone 5 I believe the older ones will work with iOS6 and iTunes 10.6.3. If it won't, you will need to upgrade operating system version. -
i have a macbook with the 10.4.11 tiger os ...i am in need for microsoft office for mac and do notknow how to download or install or from where to..plz help !
Find and purchase Office 2004 or 2008; places such as Amazon or eBay may sell these. Note that if you later upgrade the computer's OS to Lion (assuming your Mac is compatible with it), you won't be able to run the Office 2004 applications.
