HT1222 I would like to see a "supported hardware list" so that I can check when my MPB is supported under Lion.

Since my MacBook Pro 6,1 (from mid 2010) is not supported by version 10.7.0, 10.7.1, or 10.7.2 of the operating system, I would like to be able to look at the update page and check whether it is supported in 10.7.3 (or whichever version is proposing to install itself). Since there is no such compatibility list I now have no option but to attempt an install, wait an unspecified time to see if the computer will crash or not, then either rollback to the backup again, or go with the new version and hope it keeps working!
A Hardware Compatibility List would remove the uncertainty, and would make this particular camper much happier!

Thanks, Csound1, that's what I would have understood from looking at the page that Rysz posted about. My MBP does indeed easily meet and exceed all of the requirements listed there (maxed out on memory, for example).
Unfortunately, that is no guarantee that Lion will actually run stably on the machine, and as a matter of fact, it simply won't. I've tried many times: clean install, update, you name it. Within an hour of the upgrade the machine experiences a kernel panic and must be shut down. That's not a level of instability that I'm willing to accept, since this machine is my livelihood, and must never crash of its own volition! So for now it's back to Snow Leopard again, until the next update of Lion comes out.
And yes, 10.7.3 is soon here! All that's missing is the knowledge that I won't be wasting another half-day by trying it out on an ancient machine upon which it has yet to be successfully installed. Hence my wish for a supported hardware list.
Yeah, I know, I know: I should just buy a new machine. I must seem like a stubborn old **** for wanting my 18-month old MBP to run the latest version of the OS, but hey, I'm a geek, it's what I do! Plus, I'm not rich, and $5,500 is quite a chunk of cash to be shelling out every 18 months, you know :-/

    I would like to see my photos on iCloud. Which way can I reach?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see your photos on any device using your ID and photo stream.
    If you want to see them in a web browser you need to create a shared photo stream album and make it public.

  • Can this be done somehow? I would like to see an App or Apple guidance were I can identify my name or number to certain phone contacts that I can choose from within my address book?

    Can this be done somehow? I would like to see an App or Apple guidance where I can identify my name or telephone number to certain phone contacts that I can choose from with my address book. As it stands now, it all or nothing. Thanks

    Not sure what they offer in Canada, but I use Google Voice. It provides a phone number that will ring through to your phone (or multiple phones if you want). There is a free app you can use to place calls so they appear from your Google Voice # instead of your 'real' number.
    I use the Google # for business calls/texts and only use "my" number for personal stuff.  Google gives you control over things like call screening and allows you te set timers for when it is permitted to ring through to your normal number, which is great for business calls. If I'm not on call, I keep the timer set to shut it down except during business hours.
    Might be worth looking into.

  • I have a terabyte of movies that I would like to put on a the cloud so that I can access them via iTunes anywhere.  The movies are almost all .avi.  I have tried to drag them to my iTunes on my laptop but have not been able to transfer 1 single file.

    Can anyone help me import .avi movies to a cloud drive so that I can play them on my iPad when I'm traveling.  It is one of the only reasons I purchased the thing and I cannot figure out how to access my personal movie files from a "cloud" drive.

    To get that much storage, you need to look to professional online services.  Pro-level hosting accounts may offer you that much (well, many will offer as much storage as you are prepared to pay for), or Amazon professional cloud services.  You could also store the files on a home machine and pay for a professional hosting service so you could stream them over your own account (assuming your ISP connection and agreement allows for the bandwidth used).  You would still need to deal with the issue of finding an app for the iPad that supported avi streaming.

  • My desktop icons all sj=how the FF logo. I would like to see the company or website logo. How can I do this? Thnaks!

    Hello,
    I switched from Explorer to FireFox recently and all the shortcut icons I've created since all show the FireFox logo. How do I get the shortcuts to show the website/company logos they link to. It's enough to go back to Explorer. Driving my eyes crazy.
    Thanks.

    Many thanks for your reply, Waka – guess you're right that it's a new add on or bust... I still find it odd that such a common UI feature across mobile browsers is unavailable in FF24 either as an option under settings or as an add-on. Surely, I'm not the only person who finds this puzzling?

  • Would like to see an automatic gain control on

    When using the EQ on the Zen Touch (and other Creative Labs players) it is possible to raise the volume of a given frequency upto +2db, however when one does this, the additional 2db may cause the audio to clip. Normally equalizers have an AGC (automatic gain control) or master volume control that would drop the volume by the same amount that the EQ had raised it by thus preventing clipping. For example, if you raise the volume of the 00hz frequency by +2db to increase the bass, the AGC would drop the preamp volume -2db to prevent clipping in the 00hz frequency. I would like to see Creative add this feature so that a user does not have to drop the gain of their MP3 files by -2db before uploading them inorder to ensure that there will be no clipping when using the EQ.Message Edited by mfowler on 03-08-2005 07:29 AM

    If this was not the correct place, could you point me in the right direction. I am not a person to build such an app, but I don't know where one could pose the question..
    Not sure where to post this other than in this topic hoping that developers might be looking here.
    Now that Dataviz discontinued MacLink Deluxe, there are no good apps to convert old WriteNow (one of the early Mac word processers) into a modern format. Sure MS office "kind of" works, but I would defenitely buy an app that only converted (similar to MacLink) old WriteNow 3 and 4 documents into either rtf or doc formats that can be used today.
    Sorry if this is not the place to post such a thing.
    MacLink was good, but had way to many complicated, bloated options. It would be nice just to have a simple app to convert this old format. Maybe alternative apps of this kind could then be purchased to convert more of the file formats that MacLink converted. I think you would sell more of an app that just converted one older file format, however.

    I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

    Unfortunately, we were not able to migrate the polls and topics to the new system when we launched. The good news is that we still have access to the data and are investigating our migration options available.
    We will also focus on getting some new topics and polls out to the community in the next few weeks.

  • When i open new tab would like to see most visited websites

    when i open new tab would like to see most visited websites and the recent history, similar to Google Chrome and Safari Browsers. I remember Firefox having this feature, but don't know if still available or how to activate. Thanks

    Babylon malware injected into Firefox seems to have many causes and as a result many fixes.
    See this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search?q=Babylon&num_voted=0&num_votes=&asked_by=&answered_by=&q_tags=&created=0&created_date=&updated=0&updated_date=&sortby=0&a=1&w=2 search for Answers threads mentioning Babylon] to see what other similarly affected users have found to fix it for them.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Ipad with ios5 shows only 1000 emails. Would like to see all that are not deleted.

    pad with ios5 shows only 1000 emails. Would like to see all that are not deleted. iCloud turned off for Mail. Using Outlook on MacBook.

    Just a historical note of interest, Yahoo Mail was one of the first IMAP Push providers on the original iphone, so they did at one time support IMAP. My guess is you will have to get the server settings from tech support, which you are paying for.
    But the gmail app is called gmail :-) and the technology that allows you to link it to a domain is known as google apps. (www.google.com/apps).
    But I would call Yahoo tech support and ask them what the proper way to set it up on an ipad or iphone is.
    If you built your website using Yahoo tools (ie. their website builder), you may find it difficult to move.
    The appropriate place to discuss moving web hosts is here. www.webhostingtalk.com
    Site5 was able to migrate my clients' sites for free from a non-Yahoo host, although if you do want e-mail make sure you specify that in the notes field. (MX)
