Why can't I use my mid 2010 macbook pro with 8GB memoir and NVIDIA GEForce GT 330M 256MB to run 3D in photoshop CC?

3-D is very memory intensive.
System requirements | Photoshop
Mac OS
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.7, v10.8, or v10.9
2 GB of RAM (8 GB recommended)
3.2 GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with 16-bit color and 512 MB of VRAM (1 GB recommended)**
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.*
** 3D features are disabled and some Mercury Graphics Engine enhanced features may not work with less than 512 MB VRAM. Read the Help article.
Bottom line, you don't have enough VRAM

Why can't I use iBooks Text Books across devices?

iBooks 2 is incredible with its introduction of Text Books, as is the ability for anyone with a Mac to start developing texts via iBooks Author. This has revolutionary potential written all over it.
BUT, just one thing Apple:
Why in the last year have you pushed so hard to integrate/sync devices via the Cloud, only to introduce a phenomenal tool like the Text Books which can only be used on one device, the iPad, and almost blatantly makes no intention to talk to other devices?
I have invested in the whole Apple product line. I am invested in the ecosystem entirely. Why can I not start reading/note taking from my Biology Text in class on my iPad, continue skimming it from where I left off on my iPhone while going home on the train, and finally pull up the Text Book in iBooks on my Macbook (complete with my notes from the day) where I ultimately want to cut and paste my noted text to be used as quotes in a term paper I am composing in Pages (and what if Pages even talked to iBooks and auto formatted a Bibliography based on the text I have dragged and dropped)? As a student this scenario is not only very forseeable, but neccessary if I am to go over to a digital book format.
Why is this not possible? Should I honestly believe it is the result of poor planning, or rather a strategy to boost iPad sales by making Text Books explicit to the iPad?
After all, in a parallel analogy to the above, Apple ecosystem users can currently: start a film on their iPad, pick up where they left off on their iPhone, and then ultimately finish the film on their Mac or Apple TV. I can even start a normal book on my iPad and leave a bookmark, which I can later pick up on my iPhone. This is awesome and exemplifies the consideration and rigorous thought that I have grown to expect Apple to put in to their products. The devices talk to each other and "it just works." But is apple really allowing all of this, except when it comes to TEXTBOOKS, which is an educational tool?
If the digital Text Books are really going to do so much to revolutionize education, then shouldn't Text Books be available across ALL devices and to all people who ALREADY own iOS/OSX devices in order to reach its maximum potential for influencing a change in education? If these tools are really so revolutionary and represent a paradigm shift, then they will speak for themselves and schools will naturally get on board and dole out the money for the class sets of iPads.
Please Apple, I switched over for a reason. Mostly due to your philosophies and ability to make things that "just work". Don't sell out here. Not allowing Text Books to be accessed across devices does not have the markings of a "paradigm shift in the dark ages of education", but instead reeks of a slick marketing scam by the most successful company in the world to pump tax money out of education budgets into the overflowing pockets of Apple. Shame on you. That is not giving to education, that is taking.
Make good and develop TextBooks to work across ALL iOS/OSX devices, please.
Respectfully,
A teacher/student

My understanding is that you can use the Cloud on any device you want but only one at a time. Just as you can install the Creative Collections on as many computers as you wish but it can only be activated on two at a time but which is not really true since you can only use one of them at a time anyway.
I think the wording about this should change.
For insance I travel and may or may not wish to lug a laptop with me. It is my understanding that I can when raveling log into the CC download m apps and use them on any computer capable of running the apps and work away, But since I am logged in at a different location on a different device it will only work on that device.
And this is the way it shoulkd work because say you travel and your laptop is lost or stolen then you should be able to still use your apps and also stop them from working on the lost computer by logging in somewhere else.
This is the way Iunderstand the advantages of the Cloud. It is designed to be flexible and not inhibiting.
Now on the other had if I ahsd an assistant that I want to use these apps then it makes sense to purchase a license for them as well.
It is one license for one user as it should be but that user can access it where ever they need it.
That is my understanding.

Why can't I install Mavericks on my mac pro?

hi, I have macbook pro, intel core 2 duo, 2.33 Ghz. why can't I update it to OS X Mavericks? everytime I click on install, it says "can not be installed on this computer". thanks!

Check the model number.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
If your model number is less, you'd need a new computer.

Why can't I read iBooks on my Mac?

The user unfriendly way of selling ebooks is very disapointing!
I can not read them on my computer, only on my iPad.
I can not lend them to my daughter, as I would do with any other form of book.
no way I am going to buy anymore books this way!

Because Apple has chosen not to make iBooks readable on the Mac. As fellow users, we cannot speculate on why they have decided this.
However, you can still read books on your Mac. The best approach is to download the Kindle app for Mac. Then you can buy electronic books from Amazon, and read them on your Mac (or iPad).

Why can't I use my vertical scrollbar with my laptop mousepad since upgrading to Firefox 4?

I can only scroll by using my arrow keys. My mouse works everywhere else, with other internet browsers and to select links and such within Firefox.

Hi, the phone was unlocked in UK and I have a UK PAYG sim but I am unable to change to an egyptian provider, this is my problem.

Why can't i use firefox on my mac

Microsoft protection say i need a code, but they want to send it to an email address that's obsolete. When I try to use my present one (which they have had in the past) i can't go any further.
I need to get into firefox so i can edit my webpage. I don't want to sinc it with my phone

Hi patriciastoj,
You can add these to the exclusion list in Microsoft's Protection, but I was not aware this could be installed on a Mac?
*C:/Program Files (x86)/Mozilla/Firefox for 64 bit systems
*C:/Program Files/Mozilla/Firefox for 32 bit systems

Why can't I transfer all my old Mac Pro stuff onto my new Mac Pro?

Just got this brand new Macpro and all I'd like to do is to copy all that is on my older Macpro onto the new one. Migrating used to be easy but now with both computers using Mavericks 10.9.2, and following all that is explained about Migrating, it just doesn't work. I think (not absolutely) that it would have transferred from my Time Machine, but it said it would take 120 hours! Did not seem to make sense to me so I cancelled. I'm trying to do it over wi-fi. The signal is very strong. What's going on?

First, you can't really rely on the time estimate it gives. That's based on an average of the number of files and the sizes of the files it's copied so far. That number will jump around as the copying proceeds. That said, wifi is a slow way to go. You'd be better off plugging both Macs into Ethernet for the duration of the transfer or wiring them directly. Wired is always faster than wireless.

HT3500 why can't any of my apps on MAC Pro print to my HP Officejet 6700? The Print Test Page works and the HP utilities correctly work.

OS = 10.5.8
My Windows PCs and laptops work just fine

Processor = 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Within seconds of selecting the disk and clicking on the install button the following error message comes up:
The installation failed.
An unknown installation error occurred.
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

I recently purchased a new Mac Pro and have been trying to back it up on my Time Capsule for the first time. However, it says there is no available disk space. This time capsule was used with my old Mac Pro that had a Home vault open on it.

The time capsule was used with my prior Mac Pro laptop that unfortunately had the home vault active on it.
My new Mac Book Pro does not have home vault open. But I am unable to back up my new MAC pro laptop because it says there is not enough storage space available. Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
When I go into the time capsule - it shows me NOTHING as being in the backup datas. So, I don't know where to begin to delete all the old data off the
time Capsule and start with a completely empty machine.

Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

Why can't we use debit card for Ask To Buy on iOS8?

Loving the family sharing in iOS 8 but one thing that I don't like is you have to add a CREDIT card in order to add a child?? I tried adding my 11 year old daughter and it told me I couldn't because I had a debit card on my account. I don't have any credit cards and don't plan on getting one. Why can't we use debit which is what I've been using since I've had my itunes account for years?

I'm not sure that Apple have said why (these are user-to-user forums), the only thing that I've seen only mentions using a credit card : http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/
Up to six people in your family can share purchases from iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s device.
You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Why can't I use my itune card I redeemed

Why can't I use a gift card I recieved to make itune purchases

What happens when you try to buy something, what are you trying to buy (you can't use your balance for gifting, you can only use a credit card) ?
If this is the first time that you've tried to buy something and you are being prompted to enter card details then unless you used the instructions on this page when creating it : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store. You should be able to remove the card after entering it.
Or, and if you are being prompted to review the account, then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then to do so (these are user-to-user forums) :
- go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
- click on your country's flag
- click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
- then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ?

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?
