How do I update MacBook Pro 10.4 to latest version?

I bought my Macbook Pro on ebay. Its 2007 running OSX 10.4.11 and want to upgrade to latest version (at least 10.5 ) to get Itunes and sync my Iphone 3g etc

First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Both Snow Leopard and Lion...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Lion Specs:

If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install Snow Leopard
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
And then Purchase and Install Lion...

How to erase a MacBook Pro harddrive and install latest version of OS

I would like to completely erase the hard drive on my MacBook Pro and reinstall the latest operating system. Current version is 10.9.5 on a 2.53 gz Intel Core Duo processor.

Restart the computer with the Command and R keys held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X on it, and install a fresh OS.

Immediately after updating Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, the software no longer displays imags in pdf docs.

Immediately after updating Acrobat Pro XI to the latest version, the software no longer displays images in pdf docs. All the boxes where images are supposed to be are solid grey. Old documents that worked are no longer displayed correctly and new documents I make do not display images. All grey boxes. Worked fine before the update. Suggestions?

Hi precious_star,
Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
Open Acrobat and go to "Edit > Preferences > Page Display" and check whether 'Show large images' option is checked.
Is this issue specific for one PDF?
If possible, please share the file with me via email so that I can also check at my end.
I have sent you a message with my contact id details.
Hope to get your response.
Regards,

HT4623 how do i update my mac book with the latest version of itunes?

Hi all, can anyone help me with updating my Mac Book with the latest itunes. I'm a bit old school and usually stick to same programs but now need to update?? Cheers!!

Make a backup of your computer first before doing any updates. In rare but unfortunate cases an update seems to result (from what the people posting here say) in libraries being deleted. Then too, sometimes people update and discover they really don't like the new version. Downgrading without a backup is difficult. In the long run you can't avoid going to a newer version but I, for example, have been running the same iTunes version for 7 years now so it is possible to hang on.
You also don't provide details about your MacBook which includes many models. If you are truly old school you could even be running a MacBook that can't update to the newest, or at least may require other software or hardware upgrades. Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

I have a new macbook pro lion, have a latest version of flash player but still videos play with black screen. Please help. Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have checked and tried some advices here on "discussions", about playing video on youtube for example on a MacBook Pro lion. I have the latest Flash player but it still doesn't work. Please help. Thanks in advance..

Hi,
if you are using a SAFARI you don't need to install a flash player, it comes insatlled already, you can check that on safari toolbar.
Help>Installed Plug-ins> and then check for shockwave flash player etc.
i have a early 2011 macbookpro and have never needed to install any flash payer unlike on windows.
that's if your are using safari.
Thanks

How to Correctly update Macbook Pro's video chip drivers

I am currently using Boot Camp with Windows 7 64 Bit on my MBP Early 2011. My question is how can you successfully update the video chip drivers when using windows 7? When I try to install drivers the AMD updater can not recognize my video card. But my games have made it clear that I am not running the most recent drivers

fmurry925, unfortunately, the "normal" way of updating video drivers doesn't apply to Boot Camp installations. For some reason, Apple uses a slightly customized video chip in MBP (ie mine is an nVidia 320M, which doesn't exist in any non-Apple computer. Well, there's one.)
This means that the standard nVidia driver set doesn't recognize this chip. And I suspect it's the same for your computer. So you're stuck with using the drivers available from Apple, which are updated much less frequently than the generic drivers.
There are workarounds for this, consisting of "modding" your INF to allow the generic drivers to work for you. But I did some searching, and it seems that your particular chip, which is "switchable" between the Radeon and the Intel graphics, doesn't have a modded INF available. Yet. So, unless someone else knows of a solution, you might be stuck with the Apple-supplied drivers for a while.

How do i update macbook pro 10.5.8

as above

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

How do you update iStat Pro to the Snow Leopard version?

Went from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1 - do i need to do anything to iStat Pro?
Thanks.

Only with iStatMenus or MenuMeters. You will need to download the updates for them. iStat Pro is a widget so it still works with Snow.

How to update MacBook Pro system10.6.8 to 10.7.5

I Need to update MacBook Pro 1.1 Intel Core Duo, Memory 2 GB, speed 2 GHZ 667 MHZ Boot Ram Version. I would like to use Turbo Tax but it apparently does not support 10.6.8. And the printer also supports only from10.7.5 x-10.8x,10.9. I have copied all my Microsoft doc from Version 2004. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Sorry, but your model cannot run Lion or later. A Mac Pro 1,1 can run Lion. Maybe that's what you have confused with your MacBook Pro. Your's is an obsolete model with a Core Duo processor. Running any version of OS X requires a Core 2 Duo processor. See these following requirements.
Upgrading to 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.

If the CD player has audio line outputs, you could tap the audio input port of your MBP. I do question the practicality of doing so.

How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network? My home computer is a Window 8 OS. Thx.

The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.
