HT1338 I have the intel core duo os 10.6.8 and the Lion app launch keeps telling me that I need core 2 duo to upgrade to Lion...???
Does anyone know why I can't update to Lion? I have the MBP with INtel core duo and OS 10.6.8, but when I try to launch the app to upgrade to Lion, it tells me that I need the CORE 2 DUO to upgrade....????? Uhhh, I have this AND I have TONS of memory.
Never mind, I see that I need a new computer, even though this one is great. Sheeeesh.

Can I put the 2Gb RAM (X2) from my MacBook Pro into my MacBook? The intel is different (2Ghz not 2.3) and the speed is 2000 not 1333. But they are both DDR3.
I have just upgraded the Pro to 16Gb and the MacBook is SO slow. Just wondering if I could use the old RAM.Full specification of MB5.1 RAM;
204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM, non-ECC (non parity), unbuffered.
MBP8.1, 8.2 or 8.3;
204-pin PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM, non-ECC (non parity), unbuffered.
PC3 is the same as DDR3. the number is peak transfer rate (approximated).
Further reading suggests your swap may work, but it's not guaranteed. If you get 3 beeps on start up (or the sleep light flashing in bursts of 3), first check it's correctly seated, but be prepared to swap them back.
If you encounter any instability or kernel panics, change them back. -
The app store keeps telling me that I have an update. This update is for 10.8.4. I have already installed this update. Thoughts?
Read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data. Quit the App Store application if it’s running. Test after each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Updates
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the contents of the selected folder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
Step 2
Do as in Step 1 with this line:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
If there's no change, quit the App Store and restore the file you moved from your backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, recreate your settings in the Software Update preference pane.
Step 3
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate
Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.*.plist
Saved Application State/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.savedState
Here, "*" stand for a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes.
Step 4
If you still have problems, quit the App Store again.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
open $TMPDIR../C
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). A folder should open. Inside that folder, there may be a subfolder with the name "com.apple.SoftwareUpdate". If so, delete it. You can then quit Terminal. -
I have tried all the troubleshooting tips online but my Classic ipod doesnt work. My Itunes keeps telling me that it cannot restore the ipod because the ipod is busy. What can I do?
Have you tried rebooting for the Mac and iPod to see if that helps? To reset the iPod, press and hold both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
It wouldn't hurt to also try plugging the iPod into another USB port and use a different USB sync cable.

Apple store worked great, now it keeps telling me that I need to verify payment info and my security code is invalid for my card... The card is current? What's going on?
Did you enter the last three digits on the back of the card for Visa or Master or the 4 digit # on the front of Amex?

I have 9.81 GB of memory free on my iphone, which is more than enough to hold my entire music library, but for some reason my mac keeps telling me that I need 6.5 GB more of memory space to hold everything in my library. What can I do to solve this?
Are there any other things selected to be synced to your phone? Photos perhaps?

Hello,
I am trying to open a document that I was once able to open. Now, it states that I need a newer version of Adobe Reader, which I have. I tried uninstalling it and re-installing it with no luck. Any suggestions?
ThanksHi Jennifer,
Certain PDF files (dynamic XFA forms) created in Adobe LiveCycle can only be opened in Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. When you try to open these files in an alternative PDF viewer, then you will see this error message.
Unfortunately, it's not easy remove this message and modify the PDF so that it can be opened in alternative PDF viewers. The person who created the original form must re-create the form using options that do not restrict which PDF viewers can open and display the file. If you save the pdf with Reader extended rights then you should be able to view the pdf.
Else you can share the pdf with us as Anubha suggested above and we will check at our end.
Regards,

My computer is an iMac that was made in late 2009, and was purchased by me in 2010. It has a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I have more than 800 GB of storage available. Last week I installed the Yosemite OS. I'm having trouble with the upgrading of iPhoto. When it says it's upgrading the database, it never finishes. I've started the process a few times, and the progress line always gets to the same place when it sits and spins for hours at a time without any more progress. I thought about putting some of my 10,000 + pictures on discs to see if that would help, but I can't open iPhoto to get at them. Would that help, anyway? My son thinks this computer is too old to accept all updates. The hard drive was replaced 2 years ago.
Thanks for any help.Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I have downloaded the trial version of Adobe Cloud, but when I try to install the program, it keeps telling me to connect to the internet. I AM connected to the internet. What am I doing wrong?
No, we don't phone. Sorry, not how forums work. We are not Adobe staff.
1. What is the exact message you get when trying to download?
2. What specific things have you tried? Please be exact. Give links to pages with advice you have followed, and tell us what happened. -
I have a Max OS X 10.6.8 with a Safari 5.1.10 browser. I keep getting messages that my browser needs to be upgraded but can't find out how to do it and what I should upgrade to. I am prettu computer challenged so would appreciate any help and please keep it simple! : - )
Apple Safari updates are linked the OS X system upgrades, only. The most recent version of Safari for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard isn't recent enough.
Instead of, or in addition to, try Mozilla FireFox web browser, instead.
Mozilla FireFox web browser is a stand alone, Mac-friendly web browser that gets continual updates without having to upgrade/update your entire OS X system.
The current, up-to-date version of FireFox is fully compatible with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Good Luck! -

I tried to create a US account, but i need a credit card with an american address and i dont have one. This has only been happening in the last week or so. I am still clicking the app store button on my ipad. Help please.
Is the iTunes app on your computer opening in the Canadian iTunes Store? Go to the bottom of the iTunes Store page and check the circular flag icon in the right corner. If it is not the Canadian flag click it and change the country. Then log into your Canadian iTunes account and sync your iPad.
Hopefully it is now using the Canadian iTunes Store. -
how can i reset my security questions? ive been trying to purchase music and it keeps sending me to answer the secutiy questions
From a Kappy post
The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:
