HT201364 I have most of the requirements for mavericks, however, can I still upgrade to mavericks with 1GB of ram??

I was wondering If I can upgrade to Mavericks if I have MOST of the requirements available..... The only thing I need to do is upgrade the ram. I currently have 1GB of Ram
Or MUST I upgrade the ram???????

And check the Mavericks requirements again. A MacBook that shipped with only 1 Gig of RAM is probably too old for use with Mavericks. As I believe that all of the qualifying MacBooks shipped with a minimum of 2 Gigs RAM.
The minimum requirement for the MocBook is:
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
Note: It always helps to mention your exact Mac model when posting a question in the forums.

    Connect the HDD to your MBP.  Open Disk Utility>Erase and drag the HDD icon inrt the Name field.  The format should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Click on the Erase button.
    Then try the clone process again.  You may use Disk Utility>Restore or a third party cloning application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.

  • HT6030 I can't install the update for Mail for Mavricks because it says "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"? It's my iMac hardrive with 791GB available.

    I've recently installed Mavricks on my iMac and Mail went completely rouge on me. Tried switching to using Gmail directly but it's a terrbile user experience so I decided to install the new Mail update for Mavricks but have been geting this message. "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"? My hardrive has 791GB available.

    Hi Allan,
    I thought I did explain it, but sorry if that wasn't clear.
    I get the little pop-up alert that tells me I have a new messages (Shows the sender and an abreviated version of the message) but those actual messages sometimes don't appear in my inbox until up to an hour later.

  • I    I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto. Can I still get copies from the book without having to resend the actual photos.  Other photobook companies keep your book on file?

    I have done a photobook in iphoto and have had them produced and sent out to me.
    I have accidentally lost the "book" in iPhoto so can't reorder more via the usual way.
    Does anyone know if the Photo company producing the books keep them on file, that way allowing you to buy more copies without actually resending
    in the book and photos.
    I usually use MyPublisher and they actually have your book on file and then you can just print them as you wish.
    Thanks

    Have just found the book and files on the external hard drive.
    All good.
    Thanks

    Hi, my son has a second generation shuffle (the first type of aluminium clip-on one) and the current version of iTunes "talks" to it just fine. iTunes is a free download from Apple. That's all the software you need.

  • Hi, I have a refurbished upgraded macbook with 320 GB Disk, 4GB Memory and running Lion OS v 10.7.5.  This satisfies the second part of the requirement for installing OS X Mavericks (10.9) but happens to be an early 2008 piece.  Can I somehow install 10.9

    Hi, I have a refurbished upgraded macbook with 320 GB Disk, 4GB Memory and running Lion OS v 10.7.5.  This satisfies the second part of the requirement for installing OS X Mavericks (10.9) but happens to be an early 2008 piece.  Can I somehow install 10.9?  And why is apple not allowing people like me to try out this installation?  Any reason that are too technical that people like me cannot upgrade and handle?
    This would solve many apps to run on this.

    It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks require 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks no longer support Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
    While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion and Mavericks are pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

    Most of the time, when I hit a link, it opens but tabs with ads or pages that I didn't ask for are opening also and they come up on top. I have to dump them to get to the link I originally hit. How can I stop this from happening? It's so irritating and they take a while to come up before I can close them. Note: I use Firefox for Mac OS

    You can stop that behavior by changing two settings within the browser. Go to Tools -> Options and click on the CONTENT button. Make sure that "Block pop-up windows" is checked. Then click on the ADVANCED button on the far right and add a check to "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload".
    That should stop most of them. If not all, then you could install AdBlock Plus add-on, since most of the redirects are ad generated. (Tools -> Add-ons -> Get Add-ons)

  • On installation of Firefox 4 beta, it tells me that it won't run on my Mac. When I go to system requirements, it takes me to a page for Firefox3.6 requirements. Where can I find the requirements for the beta?

    The link to system requirements for Firefox 4 beta takes you to a page that gives you the requirements for Firefox 3.6 instead. I assume that the requirements for the beta are different as I can't seem to install the beta on my Macs. Where can I find the beta system requirements?

    I never expected Mozilla to neglect the users of Apple's PowerPC (PPC) computers, while still supporting much older operating environments such as Windows XP. So, I should just throw away a $6,000 system, which is still fast and functional, and contribute masses of heavy metals to land-fills because…?
    I'm hurt and confused after supporting Firefox for many years — installing and using it not only on my own computers but on most of my customers' computers. Now I have to tell my customers with PPC Macs they can't have a secure cross-platform browsing experience from Mozilla. They'll have to learn to use some other browser, or buy a new computer.
    If one doesn't buy a new computer every year, one doesn't deserve Firefox 4. This is sort of sounding more like a Microsoft™© doctrine. (But wait, I can still have Firefox 4 on a ''SERIOUSLY CRAPPY WINDBLOWS XP pile of rubbish?!'') Please open your eyes Mozilla. This just doesn't make sense.

  • I have just uploaded my iWeb site to a FTP host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone very strange!  How can i get it to publish the same as I designed it?  Thanks in advance....

    Please help!  I have just uploaded my iweb site to a FTP Host and most of the site is ok however a lot of the text has gone wrong!  Many thanks...

    Maybe you could let me know which hosting service you are using so that I can add them to my list of those NOT recommended for iWeb users!
    I just dealt with one today who claimed the iWeb sites were incompatible and that the first line of code should be deleted from every HTML file before upload to their server.
    They didn't even offer the information that it would be a lot easier to modify the .htaccess file never mind offer to do it for a customer.
    Nobody should expect to pay for service like this and the answer is to dump them and go to a company that gives you some value and support for your money. If the ones on this page don't meet your requirements for cost and service...

    ... search this forum for those recommended by other users. There's a long list of them.

    Is there a website or PDF somewhere which discusses best practices for producing a children's picture book? I am mostly interested in requirements for good image format, resolution, etc.

    There may be a few links in Apple Support, regarding articles about how to use iBooks Author
    and iBooks Store, etc; these would be separated into two general categories by device used.
    Since there is an iOS and an OS X version of each, you may have to look to see what Apple
    Support says about the one you are interested in; and how far their database goes toward an
    answer to your question. Otherwise, a general search engine approach may be necessary.
    Not sure if anything along the lines of what you seek would be available in an App.
    References to iBooks Author and iBooks Store, etc appear within these two categories in Support:
    For Mac OS X:
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac-apps/
    For iOS:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ios/
    Appears a community host moved your earlier post into one of the iBooks Author or Store sections
    after I'd replied to what otherwise may be a similar post. Not sure if the links to the Discussions area
    of iBooks you are interested in, have similar questions or answers by others who'd visited previously.

    In my reply to your earlier thread, prior to it being moved, those links to sections of iBooks Author, etc
    are posted. You can also find them from the main Apple Support Communities page.
    Sorry to not be of much help in this matter.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Help define the requirements for an Oracle Spatial management tool

    Hi,
    We are developing a tool that, we hope, will be indispensable for all Oracle Spatial and Locator dbas/users. We've released version 1.0, but we need your help to define the requirements for the next version.
    What features would you like to have in a management tool for your spatial databases?
    The features we've got so far:
    1. Viewing of vector data in a map + attributes
    2. Loading from shapefiles
    3. Exporting to shapefiles
    4. Validating metadata, indexes and spatial data.
    We are adding editing of vectors in the next version - basic stuff for add, update and delete.
    But there must be a lot more. What do you find difficult to do in Oracle Spatial/Locator? What would you like in a tool such as this?
    Any feedback either to myself or the forum is much appreciated.
    cheers,
    Andrew
    [email protected]
    PS If you like to have a look at what we have done so far, go to http://www.geometryit.com/products/spatialConsole.php

    Andrew knows what I have asked for but for others to think about and to start
    the ball rolling, here's what they are:
    1. Ability to enter own SQL commands but with PARAMETERS for attributes
    and shapes as in the following examples:
    SELECT ...
    FROM my_spatial_table a
    WHERE a.ATTRIBUTE = :attr
    AND MDSYS.SDO_RELATE(a.shape,:polygon,'mask=anyinteract') = 'TRUE'
    When executed the attribute value is asked for via a input box (data type?)
    and the user is asked to define the SDO_GEOMETRY for the :polgygon parameter via mouse clicks on the screen.
    Similarly, this would work for INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE...
    INSERT INTO my_spatial_table (shape) values(:polygon)
    The data type of an attribute parameter could be determined in two ways:
    a) By querying the Oracle catalog;
    b) By using a "PARAMETERS" command before the query as follows
    PARAMETERS name type [(size)] [, name type [(size)] ...]
    The PARAMETERS declaration has these parts:
    name     The name of the parameter.
    type     The type of the parameter.
    size     The size of the parameter in characters or bytes.
    2. When executing an SQL SELECT statement I would like the tool
    to suggest the HINTS that are needed to improve performance.
    3. Following on from 2, I would like to Tick an option that would return the
    EXPLAIN PLAN that the query optimizer used when executing my query.
    4. The tool has to support ALL Oracle's spatial vector data types.
    5. It would be nice to be able to work with GeoRasters. Since Spatial Console
    imports/exports shapefiles why not the same for rasters. However, the problem
    with supporting foreign data formats is WHERE DO YOU STOP!!!!!
    6. You could allow for the styling of the Spatial Console to be stored in the MapViewer catalogs or use the MapViewer catalogs when styling an Sdo_Geometry if it exists (I note that your tool extracts the SDO_METADATA
    why not the MapViewer metadata as well)?
    regards
    S.

  • I have a requirement where I have to give the list of users who can access a specific computer. I am new with PS. Do you have a script to list users that can access a computer object of AD ?

    I have a requirement where I have to give the list of users who can access a specific computer define in AD.
    I am new with PS.
    Do you have a script to list users that can access a computer object of AD ?
    I have executed the following script  but it does not give me the access rights of who can access the computer 'computername'
    How can i have this information. please help
    Import-Module activedirectory
    $computer=get-adcomputer "computername" -properties ntSecurityDescriptor
    $omputer.ntsecurityDescriptor.Access | select-object -expandproperty IdentityReference | sort-object -unique

    I would say that, since the OP has so little info, there are no policies in use.  It there were then this question would never be asked the way it is being asked.
    I had a client call with a letter from their insurance company; an accountant with malpractice insurance.  THey asked the same question inmuch the same way.  "What computer can you users access?"  The question should be more like
    "Do you have a policy that restricts access to computers and do you audit for compliance?"
    I have had other clients whose insurance asked the question in that way.  It produces a better view of what should be happening and how to show compliance.
    I recommend that companies being asked these questions by their legal departments or insurance companies should contract with a god computer security consultant to assist with answering these very tricky questions.  Of course if it is just you boss's
    curiosity  then you may need to discuss his requirements with him in more depth.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • I want to upgrade my 2008 Mac pro to the latest one, will it meet the requirement for the future Software that's coming out for the next four years?

    I want to upgrade my 2008 Mac pro to the latest one, will it meet the requirement for the future Software that's coming out for the next four years?.

    I'd wait. What can't you do that you need? You mean you want to buy a new model, then why not wait for an actual new one, not the two year old 5,1, when you need to and have outgrown.
    Yours will run Mountain Lion. yours is 4 yrs old and still supported and has life left.

  • OS X 10.10.1 installer says the requirement for the update does not meet

    Greetings.
    I noticed the auto update setting of my MacBook Air had been not working for a month or so today.
    So I tried to manually update OS X 10.10.1 (released Nov 17, 2014) and got this message from the installer: "OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    But the thing is, my mac already meet the requirement, as description of the update.
    My mac is on OS X 10.10 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update states the system requirement as "OS X Yosemite 10.10"
    How can I update my mac? What can be the source of this problem?
    FYI, once I participated in Public Beta of Yosemite and clean-installed 10.10 from 10.9 with disk formatting.
    Tried solution: rebooting, and repairing permission and repairing OS disk using Disk Utility.
    Thank you in advance.

    In About this Mac, click on the Version number. It will change to a build number. Please post that. Although it sounds like you don't have a beta still installed, it may be still hanging around which would cause the problem you see.
    The GM Build was 14A389.
    Never knew the version number could be clicked, and now it says 10.10 (14A379b).
    I googled the build number and it's Public Beta 4. Now it is clear that my mac still have old beta version AND the OS X showed a message to me when I tried to download a copy of Yosemite from the App Store:
    Maybe the OS thinks itself as a full release of 10.10 for some reason. It explains why it did not auto download and install the system updates, regardless of the auto update System Preference of App Store.
    Now I am going to download and re-install 10.10 rather than updating the OS.
    Thank you very much Barney-15E for providing the clear answer and others for reading and giving advices.
    Have a nice day!
