Help needed on which upgrade next ...

I have a late 2009 Macbook pro currently running on OS X 10.6.8. I want to use some apps but they all run on later versions. please advice on what to upgrade to..I'm confused by all the options available

That is bad advice. What if the apps the OP wants to run don't have Mavericks versions or don't work properly on Mavericks? Sure it is free but the old saying stands true, "There is NO FREE LUNCH".

you should upgrade your mac osx to mavericks.

  • Help needed~~~~~Can't upgrade to v 2.0

    To all Nokia friends. I recently got a new N97 and I just upgraded it to v 12.2.024 the other day via NSU running on Window 7 OS. After I learned that new firmware v 20 or above is released , I desperately want it and try to upgrade via my phone (dial *#0000#) it didn't work (the message appeared and said "No updates available" ???). I also try to upgrade via NSU and it keeps telling me that the only upgrade available is v 12.2.024 (which I already have). Does anyone know how to deal with this problem? I feel so left out when I found that v 20 and above is already out. Thanks in advance.  

    Hi again. Thanks for the advice and help but there is still no new update (v. 20) appear when I tried it today. Is it because of the Window 7 OS that make the update unavailable or is there anything to do with "Server Profile" (when I dialed *#0000#  and choose "option") and it said "No Service Profile"???
    I will try to use the other PC either Vista or XP to update it again.

    Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
    Now it doesnt ask to delete the corrupted packages, but gives this error directly.

  • Help needed! Since upgrading to ios 6 I can't access my contact group lists.

    I can still access the screen with the list of the names of my groups, but if I touch one, it deselects it (checkmark disappears) rather than sending me to this list.  This also means I cannot add a contact withing a group list. (When I can, this helps significantly to keep my contacts more organized.)

    There is so many issues with IOS 6. Have no idea why Apple never tested this os. It's a massive faliour.
    That said, I higly reccomend you report the problem to Apple here, even it might be a "black hole" :
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    And also call in you issue as Tech support do actually care, yet cant give you much info on when something will be done. But please give them a call.

  • Which upgrades are relevant for me?

    Hi all.
    I am going to order the new iMac 21,5" 2.9 GHz and I need some help figuring out which upgrades are relevant for me.
    I am going to use the iMac for the following:
    - Webdesign (my profession)
    - Photoshop and perhaps other Adobe applications
    - Lots and lots of multitasking and many tabs in browsers
    - Screen Flow application (screen recording software)
    - Dual boot with Windows 7
    - Time Capsule backups
    - Gaming (Sims 3 primarily - in Windows 7)
    I want it to be "future proof", but since hyperthreading isn't widely used in applications yet and people write that the majority of people never go beyond 4GB of RAM i'm onsure whether I should upgrade the CPU and RAM.
    Also, since the iMac 21,5" is not user-upgradeable after you get it, I want to make sure that I don't end up having a slow computer that I wish I would have made better/faster. I just want it to function fast and smooth. Today I have a MBP 15" medio 2009, 2.66 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, which I think performs overall well but is a bit slow sometimes.
    The only upgrade I seem sure of for now is the 1TB Fusion Drive.
    Thanks in advance!

    Although I am sure you have seen all this ... this is the formal description of that machine. Apple (United Kingdom) - iMac - Technical Specifications
    I cannot answer you questions about the specific tasks you plan to use it for; they are simply outside of my knowledge base, but you do raise points about being 'future proof', as you describe it, and I am afraid Apple is no more future proof than any other computer.  It is a fact that the sales of Apple machines rely on upgrading at periodic intervals, often using upgrades that were designed and known about two years before.   That, I'm afraid, is business.
    As far as the RAM is concerned you will have to decide between 8 GB and 16 GB when you order it as it cannot be RAM increased afterwards.   (The 27" can, I understand.
    Very much based on talk within the forums but I hope this is of some help to you.

  • I cannot configure yahoo small business after upgrading to Mavericks Help needed

    Hi Guys,
    it is as simple as that:
    I cannot configure yahoo small business after upgrading to Mavericks Help needed
    Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I can still view them in my Videos which is not in orderly manner or arragement like i wanted unlike in the Playlist. There is some sort of restrictions i guess.

    Please HELP ME.
    Thank you very much.

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.
