HT1338 Need to find out if I can upgrade my Mac
I need to find out if my Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is going to be able to be upgraded so I can upgrade the latest versions of browsers. I am experiencing
problems trying to upgrade the latest versions because they are not compatible with my vintage system.. 5 years old doesn't seem vintage to me. My Mac still works great I can buy a new one.
You can update it.
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 all the way to 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:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

I need to find out HOW I can download Adobe Acrobat 10.
I have my serial number, where the product is registered to me through Adobe, but I cannot find the software.
How can I download the product now?
I need Adobe Acrobat 10
Thanks!I think it must have originally come installed on my Dell computer. I don't remember actually seeing an install disk. But I registered it with Adobe, and they show my serial number. I was just trying to avoid having to buy the program again, because I have changed computers, and the new computer doesn't have Acrobat on it.
Thanks for all your help!

I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3 Master Collection Design Across Media Upgrade for Windows at a business closing. What do I need to find out before I can use it?
I couldn't tell you what you purchased, and it might even be difficult for an Adobe employee to do so. The business could have a few options as far as what they might have purchased.
Your best bet, considering what little you paid, will be to hand it over to someone you might sell it to and let them try it out. If it works, then it works. -
it is urgent that i find out how to change these settings otherwise i will be forced to make a complaint. I have never had to make these questions previsouly and never had i had this much trouble just trying to recieve an email to fix the issue
How did you contact iTunes support, and you've checked your spam as well as your Inbox ?
If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551 -
I am trying to find out if my old Airport Express can be upgraded from WEP to WPA2? If so, does anyone know how to do this? I have a new PC for work reasons and I cannot get online with my WEP password. I realize now this is why my family and friends who bring PC's into the house cannot connect - I need WPA2 for PC, and besides, I should upgrade anyway as this is more secure than WEP. Thanks for any help!
Clone your system.
Install the 10.6.8 Java update.
Clone back from your clone you made before installing the update when finished. -
How can i find out what i can upgrade in my hardware? For a Pavilion p7-1254
OS : Windows 7 Ultimate
Processor : AMD A6-3620 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 2.20 GHz
RAM : 8 GB
64-bit OSHi,
Well, I can't find the official specs of your machine therefore I can only say in general: Normally we can upgrade RAM, Video Card (may need new GPU), CPU, Sound card and HDD/SSD. Normally motherboard will dictate CPU and RAM upgrade paths. At the end of the day, users have to take into account $$$ spent/performance, otherwise no point to upgrade the machine.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for the additional information. No, the processor is soldered to the motherboard and can't upgraded. Here are the specs for the computer: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-23-All-in-One-Desktop-PC-series/5359024/model/5380719/document/c03822591/ Please click the "Thumbs up + button" if I have helped you and click "Accept as Solution" if your problem is solved.

Can anyone help me with setting up my Mac Air, to allow me to have an email template open up in Outlook instead of Mail when I click on an email address on a website?
All the limits you mention 100 e-mails at a time and 500 in a four hour time frame are limitations imposed by your mail provider, not Thunderbird. Thunderbird places no restrictions on the maximum number of recipients.
Have you tried turning your computer off for a few minutes? -
We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges. I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?
You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.
Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

I have had Adobe XI for about two years and My harddrive just crashed. My backups were part of the failure so I can't get it back. I purchased it from a third part supplier and it was a download. I need to find out how to get it restored. I can send screen shots of all of the drive location where the drive is still good and I can see my Adobe Acrobat pro information, but the download itself is missing. NEXT STEP?
If you are talking about Reader (you did post in the Reader forum), then just download http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise. However Reader is free not purchasable. You can download a trial then install using your serial number, which if you didn’t register or write down somewhere you will be out of luck to track down.

I need to find out if SMS Messaging can turn on automatically when my Ipad receives an Update or does a Password have to be entered to do this? IE, when my IPAD SMS is turned on then my Iphone messages can be accessed.
Maybe I used the wrong term for it. Basically, someone recently had my Ipad and somehow turned on my messaging so they could read all of the messages on my Iphone. I would think this the password was used to do this however they advised that the Ipad had an update which then activated the messaging. Can this happen?

From the Utility's menu bar, select Base Station, and then, Equivalent Network Password to reveal the hexidecimal key code. -
I have an email account through yahoo. I am having trouble setting it upon my iPhone and can't receive or send emails!!!! I contacted Rogers and they said I need to find out the host name of the incoming server, in other words yahoos host name. Help!!
Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account. -
