HT201364 Upgrading from 10.7 to 10.9 on MBP 3GB memory Intel CPU - Will it work?

I'm told by the guru at one of the Apple shops my MBP will not support maverick. But the various resources advise if it has an Intel CPU it should! So before I race off and upgrade, could someone in Apple assure me it will work!
I upgraded to Lion before Christmas and have lost the use of MacOffice, thus before I buy Pages and Numbers which I'm told now only work on Maverick, I need assurances!
Having used Apple products for a few years now as you can see below, in general I've been quite satisfied, but this lack of cross product/version compatibility is unprofessional in the extreme. Understand the marketing and sales rationale for it, but I hate being a victim to compartmentalised product strategies.
Your advice most welcom.

Not all Intel processors will meet Mavericks requirements. The complete list of eligible models is below.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

If i want to use Icloud i HAVE to upgrade from OSX 10.6 to OSX 10.7 and it doesn't seem to work on my mac book. I thought i had managed then it said i needed 10.7 to be able to upgrade to 10.7??? Who can help? In app store i can only upgrade to M.LION?

Dear Community members,
the frustration is that Apple decide to go from Mobile me to Icloud, forcing clients to have an upgrade from 10.6 to 10.7, i do this on my iMAc but the agenda and contacts don't get synchronised within Icloud. It only works on iphone and ipad but my IMAC doesn't synchronise although i now have to correct software.
I also needed to upgrade my mac book pro but by that time mountain lion was launched, i can now no longer find in App store how to upgrade 10.6 to 10.7 since Apple wants to promote Mountain lion. I then decided to upgrade my MAcbook pro to Mountain Lion but ididn't go through, process was each time interupted.
So searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7 and after 40 min of downloading the system said that i requiered 10.7 in order to be able to install 10.7.
Hello IKafka?
Can someone help me, since this has taken me now days and days and with zero result, i have to manually input my appointements and contacts twice since the system doesn't recognise. and I bet that afterwards i will need to invest more time to un-double all the data...

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.

Upgrade from free EE to EE monthly pay (Samsung S6 edge) and it does not work

Hi, Today 28th of July, I upgraded from a free EE iphone 4S which i bought back in December 14 to a Samsung S6 edge.
Same operator. Same number. BUT I can't use it as it shows only "Emergency calls only". I also can't use my former phone as the mobile service has been disabled on it. The salesperson at carphone warehouse said that my contract would run the moment he finished my application (which was midday). SO I have paid for a service which I cannot use. I need my phone for my job.I would like to speak to someone at EE but as I don't have a phone I will have to use my work's phone which I am not allowed to do.
I feel disatisfied, very disatisfied by EE and it's not the first time. They are cheap but It seems that they do everything to disgust you from using them.
Regards,

Hi,
Carphone warehouse lied and it is not the first time if you read other peoples posts. EE are not responsible for them and they need to make the request to EE to transfer your account over I suspect to a new sim?
It can also take up to 48 hours at busy times and is obviously from the time CPW make the request.
Thanks,

I just upgraded to OS 10.8.4 last night and my Office 2011 programs will not work.

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to OS 10.8.4 last night and my Office for Mac 2011 programs will not work. To test in safe mode, I shut down my computer, restarted in safe mode to see if I could open any of my word or excel documents, which I was able to do. I restarted, and tried opening an office document (word and excel), which did not work. Does anyone have a solution to this? I cannot revert back to OS 10.8.3 because I did not use Time Machine. Any help will be appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

I want to take my Mac to the US (from Australia) with me, do I need to do anything special and will it work over there? Thanks

I want to take my Mac desktop to the US, from Australia. Do I need to do anything special to be able to do this? Will it work?

It will work fine - all you need is a travel adaptor to convert the power connector. You don't need a transformer or anything like that.

Upgrade from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 now Find Service Request does not work.

I recently upgraded our Test machine from 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 (RHEL 4.8). After performing the install and applying appropriate patches and most recent CPU when I attempt to 'Find Service Request' I can search by number, choose the correct SR I want in the form and click open. However when the SR form opens it just defaults to a new SR instead of the one returned in the search results. I have generated all form files again and that did not change anything. I have searched and not come across anything that appears to be applicable. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I am logged in as myself and using the 'Service' responsibility.
Service -> Service Requests -> Find Service Requests
versions:
CSXSRISR 120.208.12010000.84
I do the search and I find it, however when it goes to open the result the sr form is as it is new.
Oddly enough if I go under sysadmin and use the same responsibility, same path and search the sr will open the returned result.
As sysadmin however it has a different layout in the 'folder' at the top of the screen. Could this be causing the difference or should that matter?
Thanks

Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.5 - integrated maps don't work

Hi,
I recently uppgraded OBIEE from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.1.5 and everything went well.
My customer have dashboards with integrated maps. These work fine prior to the upgrade.
However, after the upgrade I noticed that I could no longer find the maps. In the Administration "Manage Maps Data" view I could no longer find the datasources that was previously added.
I then noticed that the whole folder structure (\bifoundation\jee\mapviewer.ear\web.war\WEB-INF\conf) where the file "mapViewerConfig.xml" is locaded was recreated during the upgrade!!! So the mapview config file did no longer contain the datasources to the databases with the maps.
Is this normal behavior, that it just overwrites everything that was previously configured?!
Even if I added the datasources that we previously had,we're able to display the integrated maps we have on the reports/dashboards.
Any ideas what we have to do to display that maps created in 11.1.1.3 without having to redo everything?
Regards,
Hakan

The details are in the documentation: Installation and Configuration Guide
Cheers

PPC Mac upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.6 disabled memory

I have a G4 PowerBook and I just upgraded to 10.5.6. For some reason the system only sees one of my two 512 mb memory chips it says the other slot is empty. This memory was factory installed when I bought the computer. It was fine before I upgraded. Any Ideas?

Note, Best I can tell the later PowerBook G4's have problems with the Lower Memory slot. My Daughter has been using a 15" / 1.67 G4 that we purchased in July 2005 and bought Apple Care at that time. Starting in May of 2008 it stopped seeing the Lower Memory slot, Apple replaced the mother board and that repair was covered by 90 day repair warranty. It stopped seeing the lower slot in October 2008, and Apple replaced the mother board again and it worked until the end of December when the 3rd mother board would no longer read the lower slot. My daughter also has a friend with a same vintage 1.5 GHz 15" PowerBook G4, and her's is not reading the lower slot either.
The good news in our case is that after the 3rd failure Apple replaced her G4 with a new MacBook Pro. Other than this issue we had gotten good service out of that G4, and now have a brand new MacBook Pro.
There was a Service Extension Program for specific S/N G4s with this problem, but I think it is much wider spread than the S/N in that program.
We were very lucky to catch the problem while still under warranty, and to have each subsequent failure occur within the repair warranty period.
Note that my daughter's G4 was running Leopard when this started happening, but her friend is still running Tiger. I don't think the OS version has anything to do with this problem.

HT1420 If I upgrade from an x86 bit Windows 7 to a x64 bit Windows 7, will I have to authorize the same computer again?

I am thinking about upgrading my computer because to get the full gaming experience I need the x64 bit. But I do not want to have to deauthorize or authorize anymore. So do I have to? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

It would be best to deauthorize prior to the update of your system, and then reauthorize afterwards.

IF I upgrade Airport Extreme for intel Mac, will it work on a G4 powerbook?

I have a Mac Book Pro, my husband a G4 powerbook. WE are currently connected by an airport extreme base station.
I understand my book has the software for 802.11n. If I upgrade the base station firmware to 7.1.1 will both computers still be able to work??
Please help!!
Thanks
Mac Book Pro Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1 GB memory

I understand my book has the software for 802.11n. If I upgrade the base station firmware to 7.1.1 will both computers still be able to work??
Yes.

Can the IOS be made so you have to give your pw on phone power down. This would prevent from shutting the phone down if lost or stolen so find iphone will still work.

Can the IOS be manipulated so that you have to enter your pw for phone power down. This would prevent find iPhone from being shut off in case of loss or theft.

It could probably be done, but then the complaints would pile up asking "Why, oh why does Apple make me enter my password to SHUT MY PHONE OFF. APPLE, ARE YOU LISTENING?"
it also won't solve the problem, because there are many ways to disable Find my iPhone other than shutting it off:
Wrap in aluminum foil
Drop in a shoplifter's bag or backpack with a metal screen lining (Faraday shield)
Remove the SIM
Restore the phone
