HT3696 I have a Core Duo 32bit system. Is there anyway to upgrade to a 64bit?

It seems I jumped on the new Intel based Minis too soon. I have upgraded all that I can...that I know at least. I have 10.6.8. An Intel, but its only Core Duo. I wanted to buy some apps, but it seems they all require 64bit!!!...at least the ones I have looked at. Is there any way that I can replace a 32bit system to a 64bit without actually buying a completely new system?!

Hi, actually you can upgradeto a Core 2 Duo CPU...

Unfortunately there is little you can do, Lion will not run on your machine.
However it is possible to access some features of iClould while staying with SL. If you go to iCloud you will see the web interface for the cloud.
Some but not all functionality is here. Check it out and see if it meets your needs.

I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod. Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod? I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

Take it back to whomever you purchased it from and ask for a refund. There is no way to get past the "Activation Lock".

I have Intel Core Duo, will Lion work on it if I decide to upgrade?

My MacBook Pro is run on Intel Core Duo. Albeit, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, can I upgrade to Lion?

Unless your have a need for iCloud, I would stay with Snow Leopard.
If you need iCloud, then you have no option but to replace your MacBook Pro with a more recent model.
iCloud requires Lion and Lion needs at least a Core 2 Duo to install.

My iMac has an Intel Core Duo processor, what can be done to upgrade to Lion?

my IMac has an Intel Core Duo processor. What can be done it to allow me to upgrade to Lion?

Got 2GB of RAM and 7GB of disk space as well?
Got current BACKUPs in case something goes horribly wrong?
If so, upgrade/update to 10.6.6 or later and The App Store icon appears. For US$29.99, you can download Lion.
If you fear you will need a DVD of it, you must make one after downloading and BEFORE you install, as the image is consumed during the Install, and not available afterward.

HT1366 I have a macbook from 2008. Currently I have OS X 10.5.8 is there anyway I can upgrade my OS X system?

I want to upgrade my computer and I am having difficulty finding a new OS X system that I can actually upgrade to. Someone please help

The next step is to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; it'a a prerequisite for 10.6.8, 10.7.5, and 10.8.4.
If you want to go beyond 10.6.8, open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

HT1338 I have a mac os x 10.4 is there anyway to upgrade? every time i try it tells me I need 10.5 but cant find it

I have a mac os x 10.4.11 and is telling me there are no more upgrades. when i try it tells me I need 10.5. How do i install this, can't find it

10.5 is not longer sold by Apple. It is not downloadable. You can look for a retail copy on eBay or Amazon. If you have an Intel Mac, then you may be able to upgrade to Snow Leopard or higher.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 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.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

I have an Ipad2 with Wi-Fi, is there anyway to add 3G capability to my Ipad2?

I have an Ipad2 with Wi-FI is there any way to upgrade the system to add 3G capability?

Sorry, no it is not possible. The iPad 2 does not have cellular chip or even a sim slot.
You probably wouldn't loose much to sell your WiFi model and get a 3G model.
