how can i improve my macbook's performance without installing memory

More RAM & bigger faster Hard Drive will help, maybe a better Graphics card also, since 10.5 ises the Video much harder.

How can I improve my Macbook wi-fi?

I have a 2009 Macbook. Is their any device or upgrade I can add to it to improve Facetime video call sessions?
I'm not looking for inexpensive solutions. I need it improved for work.
Somthing that might help with latency, speed or quality for when I'm traveling. Thanks.

Hamed Rashed,
I'm not sure if you typed the proper term, I think it should be "MacBook MAC Address"? If this is what you mean then just go to Apple > System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced > Hardware

How can I replace my Macbook Pro Battery without applecare?

I have a 13" Early 2011 Macbook Pro, 2.3Ghz Intel Core i5, Memory - 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 384MB.
I have been having problems with chargers braking and my battery is now in "Replace Soon" condition, but I have no Applecare left.
I'm just wondering where/how to get a new battery, if I can do it myself for cheaper or if it is recommended to take it into an Applestore.
I mainly just want to get it sorted A. to see if its been slow all this time purely because of the battery, B. to sell it on as I am returning to buying a PC, as I miss gaming.
Anyone with any info to help is much appreciated!

Check iFixit for a new battery. There's an install guide video on this page too.

How can I improve my Mac's speed after installing Leopard on a G5 PowerMac?

Hello everyone,
I have a 1.8 G hz PowerMac G5 (late 2004) - single processor. I recently installed Leopard 10.5.4 and now it's performance is VERY slow, including the Internet. Launching any application takes 4 times longer at least, and the speed at which tasks are performed and/or saved are extremely slow too. I want to know if this can be corrected. If there is anything I can do to improve performance, short of buying more RAM? But if the answer is RAM, wil THAT improve the internet speed? It was pretty fast before.

More RAM & bigger faster Hard Drive will help, maybe a better Graphics card also, since 10.5 ises the Video much harder.

How can i change my macbook user password without knowing it

Apparently I have my settings to where i do not need a password to log in. Since changing my password a year ago, I have forgotten in. I can still log on, however i can't make any changes or download any software changes without that password. Thanks

Resetting or changing a password:
Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, open the Terminal, and use the resetpassword command:

How can I improve my file tranfer performance

I have file transfers that take 10 hours using rcp. (Huge amounts of data) I want to use SCP but a 1 GB file takes 4mins with a max transfer rate of 4.5 Mb. RCP only take 1.5 mins. (SFTP take only a few second less that SCP)
I have a Sun E10k with 100Mb cards locked at 100/full. Does anyone have a suggestions on how to bring SCP more in-line with the rcp transfer rate?

is this from ISP-to-ISP or is this within the same network LAN..? How close are the computers 10 feet away or 2000 miles away?
What is the packet size set for ? There are many factors here when passing data back-and-forth.
You have transfers that take 10 hrs using rcp. Then you say rcp takes 1.5 minitues. Interesting but need more facts.

HT1444 How can I restore my Macbook's ability to install downloads? At present I can't download any updates from Adobe, nor can I update my OSX 10.6.

Suddenly I can't install downloads. I get an error message saying the page did not activate.

http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
(or equivalent Store for your country)
You will get by email a code which you use in the Mac App Store (in your Applications folder) to download the installer. You will have to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed to be able to do this. If you have an earlier version of !0.6 than this you can download an update in Software update. If you are on an earlier system such as Leopard you will have to purchase Snow Leopard - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

How can i improve the speed of my mac?

my mac has 667 MHz, how can i improve the speed?

Sorry if that sounded not very helpful, but basically it comes down to that. Not much can improve the performance of machine of that vintage, to stand up to a current model, unless you spend almost as much on upgrades (some of which to consider are listed below).
Some thought should be given to the budget (money and time and effort) one is willing to spend. The G4 Digital Audio is possibly a good candidate for upgrading for someone who is interested in do-it-yourself computer stuff and bargain hunting for parts. It can even be a fun hobby. But even max-ing out all possible upgrades will still be lacking in performance compared to the current Mac models, I don't actually have any specific benchmarks, just my gut feel. And you may spend a good portion of the cost of a new machine on all those parts for the old machine.
Is this the 667MHz machine (G4 Digital Audio) in question?
http://www.lowendmac.com/ppc/digital-audio-power-mac-g4.html
http://eshop.macsales.com/Descriptions/specs/Framework.cfm?page=g4da.html&title= Power%20Macintosh%20G4%20Digital%20Audio
or is it some other model?
Here are some CPU upgrades, for example:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=162&type=Processor&T I=2420&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades
you can even get a small rebate for your original CPU
http://eshop.macsales.com/Service/rebate-program/
Any of those CPUs should double your processing speed, but you may also need more RAM...or the CPU will just be waiting for data to be read from the virtual memory on the hard drive.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/133SD512328/
you could max it out with a whopping 1.5 GB, with 3 of these.
and you may need a better video card...
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=162&type=Video&TI=29 34&shoupgrds=Show+Upgrades
To add larger and faster hard drives than the original Ultra ATA/66 can handle you would need a PCI ATA133 or PCI SATA card...
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ACARD/AEC6280MOB/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/TSATA/
And if you need to install OS X from a DVD, and want to burn your own DVD, you may need a new optical drive, if one hasn't been installed already, to replace the CD-RW:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?Model=162&Type=InternalOpticalDrives&sort=pop
Also, check out the Power Macintosh G4 forums if you have any questions about that particular model, (if I guessed correctly)
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=113
Even while I am trying to build a case to convince someone not to waste their money on this project, I am thinking to myself, where can I pick up one of these G4 towers to take on this project myself. Maybe a Quicksilver, no a FW400 MDD dual-boot for sure, I still have some OS 9 software. I did about all I can with my G3 Desktop, and spent more than my MacBook cost.

How can I improve the stability of itunes64bit 8.0.2 on my Vista system?

Vista Home Premium: iTunes64bit: application crashes after adding album photos and then changing views (list, Album, split) or clicking on different playlists and back to the entire music library.
The library has 42,000 items (mostly music) so it is quite large. At launch it takes a long time for itunes to load and display. There is no user cues telling me it is running. It simply displays after 60 or more seconds.
Then I start working in the library, pasting pictures to multiple items, modifying album titles.
After doing a few management tasks on my music items and navigating back and forth between the music library and playlist (changing views), the application stop being responsive and according to the log, the app just plainly crashes.
Sometimes I can restart successfully but most of the times, I need to stop the itunes service or log-out before I can restart it successfully.
I am using itunes64bit 8.0.2
I am running it on a machine equipped with 4GB of ram and the library lives on a 500GB external hard drive plugged-in through USB 2.0.

HT1399 How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one?

How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
- displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
- not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.

Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
(It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks).
