Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
If this is a company computer or is used with company software, I suggest you do not upgrade to Mavericks without first checking with your company. Older software may not work with Mavericks. Some of it may need upgrading, and that may be something your company is unwilling to pay for.

I am a windows user that has converted to Mac and loving it but when I updated to Lion my wireless internet dongle would not work anymore and the Macbook Pro does not recognise the device at all so I am unable to reinstall it again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Go to Finder > Preferences then select the General tab
Make sure External disks is selected. -
I have a macbook pro 15" retine, late 2013, should i upgrade OS to Yosemite ?
i have a macbook pro 15" retine, late 2013, should i upgrade OS to Yosemite ?
I suggest that you partition your storage and install Yosemite on the new partition and try it out. That way you can revert to the prior OSX if you feel it is not worth it. You also could install it on an external HDD and test it that way.

i have the macbook pro 13" retina display. Can I upgrade my 8gb ram to 16gb? my processor is 2.5Ghz intel core i5
To save space on the computer, Apple has decided to solder the memory onto the logic board on the MacBook Pro with Retina display and the MacBook Air, and that's why you can't add more memory after buying the Mac. This only applies to these computers, not for the other ones

I am running 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro 5.3. I want to upgrade to Maverick but am concerned that I will loose all contacts in my AddressBook. What can I do to save them?
File menu, Export, Address Book Archive. (I think that's where it is in SL).
However, do you not have a full backup of your Mac? Upgrading without one is not really advisable unless your contacts are all you care about. -

I have a macbook Pro i7 mid november 2010. I am wondering if i can exchange my notebook with the latest one. Can anyone help me out with this query please.
You can sell your existing computer using eBay, Craigslist or the venue of your choice. You could then use the proceeds to purchase a new computer.

I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011 from the USA. It is now running Mavericks. I connect it to a 27" Cinema Display that I bought in China after we moved to China. Before I installed Mavericks, I could run all of the Adobe CS6 and Adobe CS5.5 applications on my Macbook Pro while connected to the cinema display. Now that I have Mavericks installed, whenever I am connected to my 27" CInema display my Adobe applications crash upon opening. I know this is a rare scenario, but does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? Is there a new driver that needs installed? I'd appreciate any help.
I am also having a similar issue. I used Adobe Lightroom and my whole display goes black. Even my laptop screen and the lights on the keyboard go black. I can still hear the fan running, so I assume it is just the display. This is my first Mac and I have had nothing but issues. I think I am going back to Windows after this.

Now sure I have Mountian Lion, but bought my Macbook pro and the end of Decemeber 2013 and picked it from Best Buy on January 4, 2013. When I click on my apple my software doesn't say Mountion Lion but OS X 10.8.3. Need advice.
Thanks,
ChristineMountain Lion is OS X 10.8 and all of its associated versions (10.8.1, 10.8.2, etc.).
So the answer is "yes." -
Madinmumbai, when I turn on my MacBook Pro OS X v10.6.8, it stay searching. And I need the software Installation. I lose mine. Were can I get a copy?
If you are asking about how to get the 2 discs that came with your mac..you need to call Apple and give them the serial number associated with your mac and they will send them to you for a fee (I dont know how much it costs)

My iPad is on the same network as the Airport Extreme. The HP printer is on the list of Airprint printers but I'm not using it as a wireless printer, per se, as it's hooked up to the USB port on the Airport Extreme.
I installed the HP ePrint app on my iPad. Unfortunately, the app could not find the printer either.
As mentioned earlier, I'm able to print wirelessly to the HP printer via my MacBook Pro.ApplePearApple wrote:
Since I'm able to print to the HP printer from my MacBook Pro using this configuration, shouldn't I be able to print to the printer from my iPad, especially when all of the devices are on/using the same network?
Not necessarily. AirPrint uses a protocol separate from the communication protocol used for the Extreme's USB port. The HP printer may disable AirPrint when its USB port connected to a valid device, which is my reason for recommending you use it wirelessly.
From AirPrint Basics:
AirPrint printers connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported.
AirPrint printers connected by Ethernet are supported in OS X.
You may get more competent assistance from HP. See this HP support forum topic: iPhone & iPad can't Airprint to p1102w LaserJet
HP's Mac support has always been miserable though. I have been much happier since I abandoned HP and started buying Brother printers. They just work. -
How do I upgrade my macbook pro 10.5.8 to a 10.6.3? Do I install snow leopard, if so which one and is this difficult? thanks kind of a newbie at doing this kind of stuff on my mac.
Buy a Snow Leopard installer DVD at an Apple store or reseller and follow the instructions that will come with it.

Is it really worth upgrading?? By the sounds of the reviews, i'm not so sure but all the apps for the computer that i want, it requires me to have the new software... i don't know what to do?!!?!?! HELLPPPP!
Welcome to Apple Communities
http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/ Read the new Mountain Lion features and see if it's worth to upgrade. If you upgrade, do a backup before. Go to App Store, search it, download OS X and install -
I'm an elementary teacher that uses 9 of my ipad 2's at school and I personally have an iPhone, iPod, and iPad.
How do I keep the accounts separate? I tried to create two apple ID's, using my home and school e-mail, but that isn't working. I don't know how to
keep the two separate the two. Do I need to use a different name on the account?ktuttle64 wrote:

It should work. That's how you do it. -
I currently have a MacBook Pro 17in (Early 2011) and it Turns Off randomly.
I currently have a MacBook Pro 17 inch (Early 2011). Whenever I remove the power cord from my Mac it will automatically/randomly turn off. I though that it was a software problem so I reformated my entire drive and reinstalled the OS. I also have it running the current OS and have gotten all the updates. However my laptop still turns off whenever I remove the power cord. I'm not sure what to do next.
p.s. I have googled some way to fix this "problem" such as turning the computer off and waiting for 15 seconds with the power cord remove but still my MacBook Pro has the same symtoms.
Is it a problem with my Mac? Is it fixable?
