HT4459 Will this update work on my computer if I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?
I currently have a MacBook Pro running on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I would like to update to 10.6 or above. Will this update work for my computer or is there other software I need to download first?
You need to install Mac OS X 10.6 from a DVD first. The online Apple Store sells them.

i have a nexus and it always drops the calls and drops the 4g and never connects to 3g ...tech tells me im to far away from a tower but my friends razr max is next to mine and never loses connection to 4g/3g or drops any of the calls n we are only max 2 miles from a verizon tower... i had my nexus replaced 2 times and all the nexus did the same thing so if any1 knows if this update is fixing the connection prob. let us know b4 i decide to send this nexus back b4 my 14 day trail is up......since this nexus is saying its up to date but it hasnt recieved the new update that just came out
From what has been reported, it could. I say could because with the last 3 years of updates and what not that I have been a part of on Verizon, with several different phones, most of the time they do fix the known problems but it is not 100% guaranteed.... At this point, I would say if you are at all skeptical with the update fixing it, how the whole update process has been handled, or anything else....don't risk being stuck with a phone that does not work or is supported the way it is supposed to be. If the update doesn't fix it, the likelihood that Google would issue a new update as soon as possible is a good, but the downside is, Verizon would need to test it and at this rate, this update has been delayed by 4 or more months already.
As far as the other updates I have been a part of on Verizon, they have been delayed on average from 6 months to a year...and beings they are handling the GNEX the same as any other phone (even though that voids the promises and processes that we are supposed to get with the GNEX) I have no hope of having the advantage or experience that is supposed to be included with the GNEX -
I updated my ipod touch 3rd generation to the new operating system 4.3.3 and itunes to the latest. I have a WindowsXP machine all was working fine until the updates. Since then after trying many things. Currently unable to transfer music to the ipod.
Found solution after trying many things that were recommended in the Apple error messages.
The problem was resolved after I totally removed my Security Software. -
I've looked into the replacement program and i don't qualify.

Wil this work for an older macbook pro?Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That charger is perfect for your MacBook Pro, so you can buy it and use it with your computer. If you want, you can buy the 85W one, that provides more power and makes the battery charge faster, at least for the 15 and 17-inch MacBook Pro -
I want to update to lion but I need to update to snow lwpord first. I only have osx 10.5.8 so will snow lepord work on my computer when I try to install it?
The first step does you Mac meet the hardware requirements for Lion.
Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of RAM
Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended -
Wifi is not available where I come from. I have broadband connection where data transmission is through cell sites then to USB modem connected to a computer. The modem draws power from the computer. Will this setup work with the ipad?
iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it. -

Will this drive work in firewire?
I have a 80GB Western WD00BB-OOJKCO drive as my backup. If I upgrade to the new iMac will I be able to use this drive as a firewire and upload all my applications back onto my new iMac? I presently do my backup with Carbon Copy Cloner as a bootable backup.
I know I would have to purchase a firewire case for the drive, but will this drive work in a firewire case?
ThanksDon't see why not assuming you have all the files required by your applications fully backed up. Some applications install data outside of the Applications folder. Some record serial numbers into invisible files. If all the data are not properly transferred then you may need to reinstall some applications.
If you are moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac, then I suggest reading the following;
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
Intel In Macs
Apple Guide to Universal Applications
MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications
MacUpdate List of Intel-Compatible Software
Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?
I am getting ready to switch from IE to Chrome or Firefox. I have read numerous complaints about the Auto Update feature on Firefox. Below is a copy of one of them. How common is this problem?
Firefox has almost 1/2 billion users. Chances are there are many people will post about a problem even if it only affects a small minority or is fixed.
Possibly you are asking about the Rapid Release Cycle. I think most would agree it initially caused problems mainly with incompatible addons. That problem is largely resolved now. Corporate users deploying Firefox may also have had issues but now have the option of using a different release channel of Firefox.
Your article was apparently not attached, maybe you could provide a link to it. I would point out that discussion of Development issues is normally considered off topic on this forum. I will edit the title from
* Is there a problem with missing files with FF auto updates?
to
* Firefox 29 . Will auto update work ok without reporting missing files ?
That way the question is current and we actually expect developers to be around this week answering questions about Firefox 29. -
Will this configuration work for CS5.5?
Will this Dell work? Intel i7-2600? 16 GB dual channel DDRS SDRAM at 1333Mhz, nvidea geforce gt530? Want to buy Production Premium but have limited budget, don't need top of line computer performance, just workable ... All advice greatly appreciated. (I couldn't find in tech specs which video cards are supported.) Am also looking at Canon XF 100, which i think is supported by CS5.5, right?
John,
The GT 530 is very slow. It has only 96 cores, crummy DDR3 video RAM, only 128-bit memory bus. Basically a GT 430 with a new OEM-only name on it.
The Quadro 4000 is a ripoff as far as Premiere Pro CS5.5 performance is concerned: It is basically similar in performance to the GTX 460 SE (not the regular GTX 460): Only 256 cores on the Quadro 4000 versus 288 cores on the GTX 460 SE. Worse, the Quadro 4000 costs five times more money than the GTX 460 SE. -
Will this battery work for my laptop?
I have a laptop from like 2009. It's going to crap and I recently got a new one, but it still runs, albeit slowly on startup and everything, and I think it's because of the battery, as it says "Consider Replacing Battery" and when I unplug the charger it just shuts off, and it only charges to 51%. So what I want to know is will this battery work for my laptop? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007W1QBO4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AF7ENLFPN87DK
The battery right now says "Replace with HP Spare 593550-001 and says 2010/10. This battery says 593553-01, but it looks almost identical to my current battery. So will this get the job done?Hi,
What is the model of your computer ? (HP 2000 is a series, not a model). Please check the compatible list:
http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=593553-001
By the way, slow booting up may not due to weak/faulty battery. Can it boot faster using AC ?
Regards.

Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?
The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter
