    That refers to free disk space, not RAM. If your computer has 4GB of RAM, that's enough. If it only has 4GB of free disk space, you need to delete content from the internal drive; for best results, free up at least 20GB.

    I want to use my ipad to display song lyrics. I have all the lyrics on my computer in Word format and want to know the easiest way to convert them to my ipad and what apps I should use.

    I would just leave them in Word...GR reads many formats very easily.
    If our goal is to work on/edit the files it may be useful to look into something like Pages if you have a Mac, and the Pages for iOS devices so you could use the same word processor on both machines.
    But if you convert the Word to PDF and then use GR you can still edit the files...GR will edit and annotated PDF files rather easily.

    The Mt Lion installer deletes itself from your Apps folder when it has finished the installation. It is available to download again should you ever need it, such as to install on one of your other qualifying Macs. You don't have to continue to download it and install, it's installed.
    Is there something else going on?

    Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
    Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
    What Operating System is the computer running?

    You should contact Apple Support to get it serviced, your device is still under warranty.

  • HT201343 I have all the requirements on my computer for mirroring my computer to the apple tv but I don't have that option. why?

    I just bought my macbook pro last March 2012 and I have all the computer requirements for the ability to mirror my computer to my apple tv however I do not have the option on my computer.  Why?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Open  > About this Mac, and tell me what OS X version you have. You need OS X 10.8 to be able to use AirPlay Mirroring.
    If you haven't got Mountain Lion, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While its installer is being downloaded, make a backup of your data and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
    When its download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will show up, so follow the steps. After upgrading, you will see the AirPlay menu on the menu bar.
    If you don't want to upgrade, you can use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com

  • Renewing a Late 2008 MacBook Pro: hard drive and battery substitution

    Hi all,
    I am an happy user of a late 2008 MacBook pro.
    However, with the passing of time, it became slow and the battery also deteriorate (it still quite OK, but it is not like at the beginning).
    But let's start from the beginning: the hard drive
    By googling for a while, I noticed that several people experienced very slow performance of their late 2008 MacBook Pro. That is also my case. Apparently, this is due to the hard disk which is dying, and then I considering to change it. However, I haven't found answers to these questions:
    - Is it possible to mirror all the containt of the current disk to the new one?
    - I only have the original installation disks of the first Leopard. I made all the updates through the network. Moreover, since it passed lot of time, I am afraid that some sector of the installation disks may be damaged. This means that I may fail in the installation of Mac Os X on the new hard drive. If I have to reinstall everything from scratch with the new hard drive and without installation disks, how should I do?
    - If I go a Mac Reseller shop, will do they perform this operation? And how much does it costs to make it? Or I may also go to some generic computer reparation guy?
    - Is it convenient to save all the data (movies, documents, pictures, emails, etc) somewhere (e.g. external HD) and then perform a completely new installation?
    Next, let's consider the battery.
    Here is a screenshot taken with iStat Pro:
    Do you think it is worth changing it? From System Profile I have those other info:
      Full charge capacity (mAh):          3386
           Current (mA):          846
           Voltage (mV):          12029
      Condition:          Replace soon
    What do you suggest to do then? How much does it cost a new battery? Actually, I think that also the processor performance deteriorate (it often becomes very hot, especially when watching Flash or Silverlight stuff), but, unfortunately I cannot change it.

    Hi!
    Thanks for all the answer. Please let me to resume this old and interesting discussion.
    After having evaluated several solutions (including NAS, different ways of backup, etc) I bought an external firewire HDD, since I believe it nicely fits my necessities. Next, after these holidays, I will finally replace my old HDD with a SSD one. I think 120 GB are ok. I just need the apps and small-sized documents (rather LaTeX, Matlab, word, pages or excel documents, etc. - no movies or mp3 (I have Spotify, for that) ). Large files (e.g. movies, pictures, etc) may end up in external firewire HDD.
    Now, let's consider the OS. I currently have 10.6.8 and I am very satisfied of that. I find it very stable, and all the apps I need are still well supported. On the other hand, given that there are like 5 years that I have the same installation, I may have a lot of obsolete files and setting that I can safely remove. This means that once I will have performed a backup of my documents, my email, my pictures etc. I can safely throw away all the rest. Hence, I may perform a brand-new installation of the OS. Although I am happy with 10.6.8, I was wondering if it is worth to upgrade it (I have a 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo - 4 GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 RAM) to Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavricks. In that case, which would be the real benefits? And what about the cons?
    Finally consider that I only have the Leopard installation disks from 2008 (not even Snow Leopard) and I will bring my laptop to a techician to change the HDD (I know, it is simple but I don't have all the screws etc. and I will not buy them only for this purpose). Once he will have replaced the HDD, will he re-install the OS also? Or I have to reinstall the OS through my original DVD (5 years old, I don't even know if they still work) and upgrade to Snow Leopard again by myself? I would exclude the carbon copy solution since I may want to throw away a lot of garbage and perform a brand new instalation of the OS. How to proceed? Thanks again!

    OS X Mountain Lion system requirements
    To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    And has been observed many times in this Forum, using anything less than 4 GB's of RAM results in very slow system speed.  And more than 4GB's, if your system can use it, helps alot.
    Hope this helps

    What am I missing?

    Check your computer against these requirements:

          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 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.

  • What 22" external display will work with the new, late 2008, macbook

    I, like many others, have problems with my external display. My problem is the one second screen blackout that happens intermittently, more so when I am scrolling around a web site. The other problem being that the pictures are elongated sideways, i.e. a ball looks oval. I have the 2.4 aluminum macbook and a Samsung SyncMaster 2253bw external monitor. (I can get the monitor to stop blacking out by setting it at a lower resolution, but this does not solve the oval ball effect)
    We are all waiting for a hoped for firmware fix for this, without any official word that apple is indeed working on one. My question is this, and its for folk who are thinking about buying an external monitor - Who has had a good result with a 22/24 inch monitor with the new macbook, and what was the monitor?

    Thanks hsurfer. The link you have provided gives a helpful insight. Those with the macbook pro are able to switch from their 9400 graphics card to the better 9600 graphics card, which resolves the issue, at least with the samsung monitor. We who have the macbook however do not have the option. The problem does seem to clearly emanate from the macbook graphic card, lets hope that a fix is still around the corner, the latest firmware update clearly did not resolve it.
    Im still looking for success stories, anyone who can say that their specific external 22'/24' monitor works fine with the new macbook?
    kind regards
    allan
