hello, I want to know if will lose my apps if I upgrade to Mavericks? I I have Snow Leopard, and I have not because I have fear of losing my apps

You will only lose Power PC apps.
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 Mavericks.
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 Mac Book Pro will be 4 years old in Sept. I now have Snow Leopard and bought an IPhone 4S this week. I know I need Lion to use ICloud. Can I upgrade to Lion with a computer this old?

    My Mac Book Pro will be 4 years old in Sept. I now have Snow Leopard and bought an IPhone 4S this week. I know I need Lion to use ICloud. Can I upgrade to Lion with a computer this old?

    As long as it meets the minimum requirements:
    Lion System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    At least 2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space on hard drive
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • I want to triple boot Have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives and I want Windows 7 on another drive, can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on another internal drive?

    I want to triple boot my Mac Pro I have Snow Leopard and XP on separate drives (osx on drive 1, xp on drive 2) and I want Windows 7 on another drive (drive 4, drive 3 is used by osx for storage), can it be done by temporarily removing the xp drive and installing windows 7 on drive 4?
    I realise bootcamp only allows 2 operating systems and refit could change the size of my current xp drive to accomodate W7, that is not an option here for various reasons one being the drive is pretty much at capacity with only about 30gig free (I work with video so that free space fluctautes quite a bit). I have a brand new drive 4 with 1TB set aside ready for W7 but I'm unsure how to go ahead?
    any help or advice would be really appreciated, thanks

    Boot Camp is used to support Windows on the same drive.
    You can have a different OS on every drive.
    You could have Windows 7, Vista, and XP all on one drive if you so choose.
    I recommend not putting Windows and OS X on the same dirve when talking about Mac Pro - unless you just need something small and lite.
    Remove all your other drives while you install Windows 7.
    You could even relocate XP - if you need it even - or recover the hard drive space.
    You should always keep 30% free for Mac OS; same for data/media drives.
    Considering 1.5TB WD Black $110.... and you want OS X to be on a fast high performance drive as well.

  • HT201364 I currently have Snow Leopard and want to update to Mavericks

    I currently have Snow Leopard and want to update to Mavericks. When I go to the Apple Store the only available option is to download Yosemite but I don't want to.
    Where can I find a download link for Mavericks?

    Probably nowhere, and unless Apple says otherwise, definitely nowhere.

  • Presently have Snow  Leopard and want to upgrade to Maverick but don't want to lose data.  How to download safely? don't am worried about losing info.  How to download it without risk to current data.

    Am currently using Snow Leopard and do not have access to I Cloud or latest version of I Photo.  Understand I can download Maverick free but am worried about losing data.  How to download Maverick and safeguard present files?

    Mac OS X upgrades are designed so that none of your existing Applications or User data are intentionally deleted during a System Upgrade.
    That works as long as there are no problems whatsoever.
    Your best protection from data loss is good Backups. Before you upgrade, buy an External Drive at least 2 to 3 times the size of your User Data, and Turn on Time Machine. USB-2 enclosure drives are cheap, and fast enough for backups. If you will use this drive for everyday data, a faster interface would be much better.
    Time Machine works quietly in the background, and does not "take over" your Mac to do the Backups. After the first large backup, it will quietly back up hourly, copying only the things that have changed since the last Backup. Time Machine is not the only Backup solution, or even the best solution out there. But it tends to be the Backup that actually happens, because you don't have to download any software, do extensive setup, or think about whether you should do it now or later.

  • Want to clean and reinstall my early 2009 IMAC, but have Snow Leopard and no discs

    Have an Early 2009 IMAC.  My daughter (14, and an indiscriminate clicker of "OK" buttons on pop ups to get rid of them) has been using it for a year, and is it is now running very slowly, locking up, etc.  I am not particularly computer savvy, but would like to do a full clean of hard drive and reinstall.  Can't find the Snow leapard discs (My current OS X is 10.6.8), but want to go to yosemite to match my more current mac air.  Questions:
    1.  Yosemite haters, I know there are people who feel that this is a risk, but otherwise this thing is pretty much an attractive paper weight.
    2.  I could upgrade my RAM to 8 GB (only has 2 slots being an early 2009), is that necessary?  I would rather just upgrade and see how it goes.
    3.  I have backed up to time machine.
    4.  Yes, I bought a cheap PC (boo hiss) for my daughter, but at least she won't be touching this one anymore

    You need to get rid of MacKeeper (Zeobit).  Do not use their uninstaller, follow the instructions here ...
    http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/09/21/how-to-uninstall-mackeeper-malware/
    When that is done there does not appear to be a lot wrong if you correct the red ink entries.
    The 4Gb is sufficient for Yosemite though 6 or 8 Gb would be better.  You may find the download slow so be prepared.

  • TS3276 I have snow leopard: my mail changed so I now have to double click to read a message.Want it back so can preview before open.

    I want to get mail back like before: I could single click to read before fully opening inbox message. Now have to doubel click. Also the message appears before who it is from. How do I switch columns back whre want them in order of From/message/date received. Also  "color" markings changed. It stays bold black until I double click not just single.

    Hopefully this helps. And hopefully I haven't misunderstood your question. For the issue of the location of the various headings (From, Subject, Date, etc...) you can simply grab the particular title bar and move them to the location of your choosing.

  • Hello, I want to know if you buy a iPhone in EEUU yo can use this iphone in Spain

    hello, I want to know if you buy a iPhone in EEUU yo can use this iphone in Spain.

    If by "EEUU" you mean the United States, if you purchase an unlocked iPhone, it will be usable with any Spanish carrier that offers compatible service. Note that the warranty will not be valid in Spain, or anywhere else other than in the US.
    Regards.

  • Hello, I want to know if an iPhone purchased in the United States 4S can operate in France. Thank you for your response.

    hello, I want to know if an iPhone purchased in the United States 4S can operate in France. Thank you for your response.
    (unlocked of course). Sorry for my English but I am French

    The officially unlocked GSM version will work just fine. However, that model is currently only available through Apple's online store, I don't believe stock has reached brick/mortar stores yet, you'll have to check.
    Why do you want to purchase in the US? Your warranty & support will only be valid in the US, and you can purchase officially unlocked iPhones in France that have an EU wide warranty. Doesn't make any sense to me.

  • Hello , i want to know , if i buy an iPhone 5s from this site ,i can use it in Romania?

    Hello , i want to know , if i buy an iPhone 5s from this site , i can use it in Romania ? Thx !

    Yes, but if you are referring to buying the iPhone from the US online Apple Store you must have a credit card with a US address and a US address to ship it to. You may or may not be able to use LTE and you will have to return to the US for warranty service.
