HT1544 i have my mac os x 10.6.3 but want to make it 10.7.3
hi
i have a question about my macbook pro i have installed a few days ago a new cd because i was facing some problems but now i need to update my laptop because i need it to be the 10.7.3 instead of 10.6.3. i use to have my mac 10.7.3 so i need to have it back to that level.
i also don't have the app store in the dock i was wondering if i could get some feed back. if there is any new information that is good for my macbook pro.
it also asks me for the update of 10.6.8 but it only downloaded 2% and then it stops.
You need to be at OS X 10.6.6 to get the app store. If Software Update isn't working, download the combo 10.68 update from here. Use Disk Utility to repair permissions before applying the combo update, then after installing it, repair permissions again. The combo update provides all update to 10.6, so after applying it, you'll be at 10.6.8 and will have the app store application.
If you previously downloaded 10.7 from the App store, sign in with your apple ID and you should see it on your purchases list.

Just bought Samsung S22B310B computer monitor and hooked it up to my mac mini. I have my mac set to the 1920X1080 resolution but the entire screen (21.5") is not filled. How do fill the screen? it fills the screen on other resolution settings. I have it hooked up regularly and not to the DVI hook up. I'm not a computer savvy person please help!
That monitor supports both (digital) DVI and (analog) VGA connections, so you should not need a converter or use a different adapter.
You should use the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter and a (digital) DVI cable to the monitor. -
I have a Mac OS X 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to OS X Yosemite, but will I lose my purchased programs as I have a student version of the creative suite that will cancel itself if I try to reinstall it?
Thanks in advanceYou won't lose the purchased software unless a problem occurs or it's incompatible with Yosemite. Back everything up first.

i have a mac osX 10.5.8 and i could always make photo books with iphoto , now all of a sudden i cant because i have iphoto version 7.1.5 i have tried countless updates and nothing is working ? help ?
Books are no longer supported with iPhoto '08 (a roughly six yeal old product) - you can purchase an iLife '09 DVD from someplace like Amazon or eBay and install it - iPhoto '09 is still supported this year

i enjoy karaoke and have numerous vcd's of karaoke songs. I wanted to make a compilation vcd of my own, containing my favourite karaoke songs but I am unable to achieve this on my macbook pro (mac os 10.6.8). Can you tell me how to step by step?
I had issues in 10.4.7 as well as 10.4.8.
My problems occurred at the beginning of 10.4.8, then many users brought light to me using WEP, which was not working that great. I changed my connections to WPA2 and my problem has disappeared. If my problem didn't resolve the way it did, I would have mentioned it the next time I visited an apple store.
The bottom line is that assumptions, complaining, and self diagnostics don't get many people very far and bringing the problem to apple helps them know the incidence of this problem, and helps them develop a reliable solution.
Though some users have reported the "cold shoulder" when reporting Airport problems to apple... I hope you weren't one of them. -
I currently have the Mac OS X v10.5.8 and want to get the new operating system but I don't know how to do it. I don't have the Mac App Store and can't get it because of my version. What do I do?
The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is still $29. You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications. -
I have a mac OS 10.8.2 and I want to download office mac 2008 however it is a cd rom and my comp doesnt have a cd rom. Is there any way to still download it without buying an external disk drive?
Yes, if you have access to another computer with an optical drive. You can connect the two computers via your home network and use File Sharing to transfer the installer to your HDD. You can also use:
DVD or CD sharing- Using Remote Disc
Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks -

I have an Icloud account with my parents but want to make a new one. Will I lose everything that is currently on my phone? i.e. phone numbers, pictures, music
In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

Is there a way to color one thing in a black and white photo. Example: I have a picture of a tulip field and I want to make it black and white - which I have already done - but I want to make one single tulip red. Help?
No, you'll need an external editor for the job:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto. -
I have a version 1 iPad. I would like to be able to use my LCD projector to display content to my students. I have the dongle to attach to the projector, but can't make it work. The process DOES work with my friend's iPad 2. Any advice? Thanks!
Expanding on what deggie said, with an iPad 1 the app you're using must support video out. Only the iPad 2 can mirror the screen. The apps included with the iPad that output to external monitors are given here:

For third-party apps, consult the app's documentation or contact the developer.

iTunes does not support drag and drop for iOS devices.
Connect either the iPod or iPad to your computer, launch iTunes.
Select the iPod (iPad) under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
Select Books from the menu.
Then click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
You can select All Books or Selected Books. -

Hi < i have updated my mac 10.5 with 10.5.8 sucessfully , but while instaling it is taking much time and status bar is not showing any progress
If I remember correctly one of the updates could hang after doing the update. Fixed by a restart but installing a combo update over the top of others rarely does any harm and it may be the best thing to do.
