HT1145 How can I get an old mac with 9.1 on the Internet to upgrade it. There is on ethernet port or USB port....only a CD-ROM drive.
How can I get a Mac laptop on the Internet to upgrade it from OS 9.1 to OS X? it only has a CD-ROM drive..... no USB port or cat 5 port.
The three notebooks which may have had Mac OS 9.1 have these identifier articles as well, which you can also
look on the frame of your screen:

How can I reformat my old mac air, since I have the new one
How can I reformat my old mac_book_air, since I have the new one?
I believe that would be because the usernames on the two computers are different. You will have to change the ownership of everything you copy over from the old computer or change the username on the new computer so it's the same as the one on the old computer. Doing this is a bit complcated:
OS X: How to change user account name or home directory name
Changing file ownership is a bit easier. If you have copied all the files from the old computer into the Home folder of the new computer then do this:
To fix Home folder permissions
Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed. -
How can I get my old iTunes music onto my new computer without access to my old computer? I left my previous job and forgot to transfer my music. I bought iTunes match and it shows my old Mac as a device, but I cannot access any of the old music. All I can find are what was on my iPhone, but that's not what I want. I need all my old music from my old Mac, which has been wiped clean by IT at my old job. BUT, I did have iCloud at that time and I thought all my music would be accessible through it. I don't understand the Cloud! And I'm thinking spending $24.99 on iTunes Match was a waste of money because I still can't access my old music.
When you are done with this issue, consider the computer back at the office may still
have access to your iTunes account, and it should be de-auhorized. You can do that
remotely, but be sure you carefully do not mess up your other computer iTunes libraries.
Good luck & happy computing! -

My original iPod has my old CD collection on it, hundreds of them painstakingly imported. Over the years, I have got new iPod, new iPhone, new computer, and run a separate iTunes library. But now I want my old collection on my computer. How can I get this old iPod music converged with my newer music and computer, without having to wipe out a library or lose any music?
Hello jlfromcorona,
Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac. See this article for instructions.

I am VERY fond of Google "Site Search" for all of Apple.Com and its subdomains...
a mere search for your username with quotes no brackets [ "freedone" ] yielded 313 results - but there IS another username "freedoneb" that may take up some of that real estate

Question
firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc . -

My friend synced a video to my ipod but it earased all my data on my ipod,but I can't figure out how to load my old library back without deleting the movie. My friend shares a family account so she can't tell me the password. How can i get my old library back without deleting the movie?

She does have the right because she bought the movie.
Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it -

my hard drive crashed how can i get my old music from my itune account
If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.
Of course it changed. A phone's IMEI number is unique to each phone. The IMEI number for a phone does not transfer to another phone.
Since your iPhone was exchanged under warranty without having the box and bill for the original purchase, you don't need it now either. The exchange under warranty remains under the warranty for the original purchase.
