Have mac book pro OSX 10.6.8 need 10.7 to run dragon what should i do
have a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.8 need to upgrade to 10.7 to run Dragon What is the easiest way to do this?
Go to Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info / Hardware Overview.
Check Model Identifier - the second item in the list on the right. If you have MacBook Pro3,1 or higher, and the computer has more than 2 gB RAM installed, you can install Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8) by logging in to the App Store. The cost is $20 for either upgrade.
App Store.app is in the Applications folder on your computer.
Use the same id and password as you use here.
Be aware however that some of the Apps you are running now will not be compatible with the newer OS - either one.

I have Mac Book Pro osx version 10.6.8 if I download Lion will it upgrade my safari?
I have Mac Book Pro osx version 10.6.8 if I download Lion will it upgrade my Safari?
ThanksThe most recent Safari version for Mac OS X is 5.1.7, and the most recent Safari version for Lion and Mountain Lion is 6.0.2, so Safari will be updated.
To upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade -
I have mac book pro - OSX 10.6.8. Should i upgrade to Mountain Lion?
I've never changed operating systems for my Mac Book. Is it a good idea? Why or why not?
What model of MB do you have? Why do you want to upgrade?
Before upgrading consider:
Don't upgrade if you are in the midst of important work. Wait until you have finished.
If you are having problems with your computer get them sorted out before you upgrade.
Verify that any mission critical software will be compatible with the upgrade.
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS. -
I have mac osx 10.6.8 but i cannot update but win i upgriding osx mountain lion tha mac tell me (cheke network ???) I HAVE mac book pro 2011
Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

I have a mac book pro osx 10.7.5. Do I need to get anti-virus security software
I have a mac book pro osx 10.7.5. i do not have a virus checker. Do I need to get anti-virus security software that will protect against the new virus? And what would you recommend.
ThanksThere will always be a "new virus". Is this the recent threat you are concerned about?
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-27681236
It only affects Windows PCs, which is usually the case.
have a mac book pro osx 10.7.5. i do not have a virus checker.
Those two statements contradict each other. OS X 10.7.5 already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple. Installing third party "anti-virus" software cannot possibly protect you from all threats, whether they exist today, or may occur at any time in the future. Such products are far more likely to cause random instability, crashes, loss of data, time, money, or all the above, while providing nothing other than a misplaced sense of complacency - a threat all to itself.
The sky is perpetually falling for so-called "news" outlets. It has been so for many people since the beginning of time, and it will remain so for all eternity. Don't confuse fearmongering with becoming informed.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iTunes or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind. -

Since updating my iPhone 5 to OS 7, changes made to calendar on phone no longer sync to Mac Book Pro OSX 10.6.8 via iTunes 11.1.1. Any thoughts?

Thanks - I would rather not upgrade to snow leopard. Is there a way to revert from IOS 7.0?
What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
Why not upgrade to Snow Leopard, if you can?
NO. There is no way to downgrade your iPhone OS back to iOS6. Apple makes downgrades of their mobile OS not possible.
If you can, the only thing you can do is upgrade your Mac's OS X operating system.
Sorry, -

Bonjour, quand j'utilise mon adobe photoshop cs6 extended (Version Adobe Photoshop : 13.0.6 (13.0.6 20131025.r.54 2013/10/25:21:00:00) x64) notamment avec les calques, le clavier de mon Mac Book Pro ( osx 10,9,5 - 2,64 GHZ intel core i7 -8GO 1333 MHTZ ) se bloque. Je suis obligé d'enregistrer ce que je fais dans le texte pré inscrit, puis de rouvrir pour enregistrer dans la rubrique et dans les termes voulu.
Merci de m'indiquer comment résoudre ce problème.Bonjour! Oui: il faudrait essayer de réinitialiser les préférences, en maintenant CTRL+SHIFT+ALT dès que l'on démarre Photoshop, ce qui supprime le fichier des préférence et le remplace par un nouveau. On doit alors obtenir un message qui demande si on veut recréer les préférences.
La réinstallation ne remplace pas ce fichier, et c'est lui qui peut être corrompu lors d'un arret fatal de la machine.
On peut le remplacer manuellement, en suivant les instructions de ce document remplacer évidemment CS5 par CS6: http://helpx.adobe.com/fr/photoshop/kb/preference-file-functions-names-locations.html
Les pilotes des cartes graphiques datent de Janvier. Y-a-t-il des mises à jour disponibles?
De même, Photoshop n'est pas dans sa version 13.0.1.1 il convient de se rendre dans Aide>Mises à Jour -
Have mac book pro 5,5 version 10.6.8 I need to get adobe photoshop cs6 do I get 32bit or 64bit?

My safari (and i keep it updated) cannot open PDF files.Should i install Adobe Reader and which version????/ I have Mac Book Pro running OS 10.9
Please help me!!!!Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again. -

Hi there saharalirezaie,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors

Related errors: 17, 1004, 1013, 1638, 3014, 3194, 3000, 3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3194, or 3200. These alerts refer to gs.apple.com, say "There was a problem downloading the software," or say the "device isn't eligible for the requested build."
Check the hosts file or TCP/IP filtering, which might cause communication issues between iTunes, ports, and servers.

Install the required Windows drivers: Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033. Download this link preferably from Windows. Otherwise, download onto a FAT formatted USB disk from which you can copy to your Windows system.
