  • HT1338 attempting to update operating system software on Macbook Pro with OSX 10.4.11 what is the cost and how

    attempting to update operating system on macbook pro with osx10.4.11.
    how is this accomplished and what is the cost ? is the worth the expense give the age of unit?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • How do I update my system to the 10.7.2

    How do I update my system to the 10.7.2

    If you have 10.6.8, and your Mac meets the requirements, you can use "App Store" from your Dock to purchase the appropriate version of 10.7.
    If you are running:
    Office or Word 2004,
    AppleWorks,
    Quicken 2007,
    Eudora 6,
    Adobe CS2 (Photoshop),
    FileMaker 6,
    or dozens of other PowerMacintosh Applications, these will not work after you update.
    The ideal way to do the update is to install 10.7 on a brand new drive, and keep your 10.6.8 as a backup. That may not be realistic for many users.

  • How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?

    A quick question, hopefully with a quick answer.
    How many partitions and operating systems can you line up in BootCamp?
    Are we limited to just 2, or can we have more?
    Say, for example, Mac, Win XP, Win Vista and Linux maybe?
    Thanks in advance.

    VPC does not run on Intel Macs. If you wish to use virtualization on an Intel Mac see this:
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not yet fully developed for the Mac - some features are not yet implemented - but it does work otherwise.
    6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
    See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
    Boot Camp is only available with Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard to get it.
    You can upgrade XP to Vista without having to make any changes to the Boot Camp partition. Vista can either perform an upgrade install or erase the Windows volume before installing Vista. You don't need to do anything to change the partition via Boot Camp. However, if you need to enlarge the partition, then the only way that can be done is to first use Boot Camp to remove the partition. Then use Boot Camp to make a new, larger partition. All data from the Windows partition will be lost.

  • HT1414 I just tried to reset my iPad...then couldn't reset it.  I don't know how to install the operating system on it again

    I just tried to reset my iPad...then couldn't reset it.  I don't know how to install the operating system on it again

    Is this how you reset?
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 ,I want to buy the updated operating system that puts iMessage and Facetime on my Macbook Pro. What should I search for, and then purchase, in the App Store?

    I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 ,I want to buy the updated operating system that puts iMessage and Facetime on my Macbook Pro. What should I search for, and then purchase, in the App Store?

    FaceTime can run in the version of OS X that you currently have. To get Messageyou need Mountain Lion. The protocol used by Messages is iMeassage.
    The question is does your MBP meet the specs for 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)
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space

  • I updated operating system to OS X Yosemite, also updated pages. Now when I try to open files I am told to update pages

    I updated operating system to OS X Yosemite, also updated pages. Now when I try to open files I am told to update pages

    You have both Pages 5.5.2 and your older version of Pages on your Mac .
    Pages 5.5.2 ids in your Applications folder.
    Pages '08/'09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    When you double click on a file either version may open, but usually the older, and it can not open files from the newer version.
    Right click on the file instead and choose which version to open from.

  • HT4623 Can't update Operating System

    I need to update operating systems but the option is not in my General menu.  Any idea what I should do?

    The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

  • HT2292 Original iPad - how to update operating system

    I'd like to update the operating system on my original iPad. I just don't have the options on my screen that every tutorial I've seen shows. What do I do? I'm so so so frustrated and am to the point where I never want to own an Apple product again. I've never updated my operating system in the past. I wouldn't now except for the past several months my apps have started to not work and can't be updated until I have at least an os5. Ugh!

    Consider this: the first iPad is not supported by any new iOS version. See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices (scroll down to Highest Version of iOS supported).
    There you read that the 1st iPad can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1. If you already got 5.1.1 on it, then you can't go higher.
    If the apps stop working, just do not update them. Problem is once they stopped and deleted the older version which already worked, you can not go back, because you usually don't get your hands on old app versions, except you kindly ask the app issuer.
    But you can check the MEDIA folder of iTunes where the apps are stored. If you still got any older version of an app, you can delete the new version and add the old one by moving it to the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder.
