HT6114 I am currently runny 10.6.8 on an almost 5 yr old laptop. Can I run the new maverick ugrade v 10.9.2?

I am using an almost 5 yr old macbook. Operating system is 10.6.8 I received an offer to upgrade to mavericks v10.9.2. Can my current system run/support this new upgrade? Would I leave myself at risk of to the performance of my laptop?

Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         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.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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.

I can't get the new Maverick OS I downloaded to work with iTunes. I am trying to copy some songs onto an SD card and it won't let me create a new folder or click and drag the tunes onto a folder or into the current SD card. What am I doing wrong?

I can't get the files to drag onto a file or onto the SD card. What should I do?

Did you accidentally engage the lock slider on the side of the card? What exact error messages are you seeing?

I'm doing a timemachine backup of my current MBPro. The MBPro has aproximately 250 GB of content that is being "timemachine'd". My new SSD is only 128 GB, how do I restore the timemachine backup, when my old drive was larger than the new drive?

My new SSD is only 128 GB, how do I restore the timemachine backup, when my old drive was larger than the new drive? Is there a way to pick what you want to restore or am I completely f***ed? I tried googling the answer but all i got was how to move the timemachine backup to another HDD. Sorry for the ******** question, thought I'd try here.
Thanks for the help.

Will current HD DVRs have ext. drive capability when 1.9 rolls out or ONLY the new 500 GB DVR box?

Got the email about the $40 upgrade to the 500 GB Motorola box. I realize that once 1.9 is FINALLY rolled out, the box will have eSATA capability to tack on a supplemental HD. My question is, can I just not pay their $40 for the new box and instead wait until 1.9 is rolled out, and then be able to use the currently useless USB port on my current silver Motorola 160 GB HD box to hook up a 1TB drive that I can get for less than the $40 upgrade fee?
Are they are any OTHER advantages to the new box over the existing ones (feature and capability wise...I don't care about recycled materials, less energy usage, etc)?

All the 7xxx series DVRs will support an external drive. There are no plans to utilize the USB port - too slow to support MRDVR.
The 7232 has more memory (not just the disk) and is smaller, black, and supposed to use less energy (I know you said you don't care, but I mention it anyway).

I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active, How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address. How do I change it to my new email address? The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account. The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating. What do I do?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not. All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID. This can't be changed. The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

HT1925 I am using windows XP and have iTunes version 11.0.5.5. My iPhone 5 with current operating system will not link with my iTunes. It states I needed the newer version of iTunes. But I have been unable to update --automatic or manual. How do I update

I am using an older windows computer with Windows XP and iTunes 11.0.5.5. Since upgrading my iPhone and iPad my system will not allow me to connect the devices to my iTunes -- it notes I need to upgrade to iTunes 11.5. However using automatic updates or manual update I can not update iTunes -- I get an error message the older windows iTunes could not be removed. I can not remove iTunes using control panel -- an older install/uninstall file is evidently missing. All of my music is contained on my PC -- more music is on my PC than I store on my other devices and I don't want to loose those music files nor permission to access those music files. Does anyone have a solution to uninstalling and upgrading windows iTunes without losing my music. I would like to be able to connect my iPhone and iPad to my PC again. RS

I am haveing same problem canot find itunes.msi

I want to run the new os x mountain lion but currently on 10.5.8 what do i need to do

Hi folks
I am running 10.5.8 how do i upgrade to mountain lion

Depends if your Mac is capable of running it.

(Note that the specs say 2GB of RAM but I wouldn't consider it with less than 4 GB.)
If so, then you need to purchase 10.6.8 and purchase and download ML

When clicking CTRL+Link my new tab opens in the background window, instead of the foreground window I'm using. Is there a way to make this work the way it used to, where the new tab always opens in whatever window I was currently using?

I use a web based software for work. I go to a web page listing all employees as links (Window A). When I click an employee link a new window opens (Window B). Window B contains links, i.e. Add Client, Change Address, Change Phone Number, Change Name, Upload Photo, etc... When I hold CTRL and left click the links in Window B, the new tab opens in Window A. I don't understand why this has changed, as I've been using this method to open new tabs in my current window in both of the previous versions of Firefox.

That didn't work, but thank you very much for the offer of help. I had already tried that option.
To give you an example of what I'm speaking, I found this page that recreates the scenario.
1. Goto [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm]
2. Click the GO in the center of the box on their page (This creates a pop-up window with links to other programming pages)
3. CTRL+left click any of those links. The page opens in the background/original window, not the pop up window where you are currently working. And, with your solution takes me back to that window and the new tab.

Can't find the current version of my Microsoft Word document

I have spent the past two months or so working on a Microsoft word document. About two weeks ago, I emailed a version of this document to a friend. At that time, the document was about 170,000 words long. Since then, I have made several changes to the document,
including deleting several scenes and adding in new ones. As of yesterday, the document was about 200,000 words long.
This morning, I opened the document again, and it was down to 170,000 words. As near as I can tell, this is the same version of the document that I had emailed to my friend (as it includes the scenes that have since been deleted). I don't have the slightest
idea how this happened.
Yesterday evening I renamed the document by going through Finder, clicking "Get Info", and deleting the old title, then typing in the new one. That is the only unusual thing that I've done with the document recently, but I can't imagine that that
had anything to do with why my document has suddenly been replaced with an older version of itself.
Is there anything that I can possible do to regain my current version? Please, I have been working on this document nonstop for the past weeks and I am seriously DESPERATE to get my words back.
Thank you.

Yes, I am working on a Macbook Air. (Sorry that I forgot to say.)
I did look with Finder, and wasn't able to find it there. However, when I clicked "Open Recent" in Microsoft Word, the document showed up, complete with its original title and all of my missing words. I still don't have the slightest idea what happened,
but the problem has been resolved, at least.
To both of you, thank you so much for replying and helping me out!!!

Can UC560 support the most current SCCP phone loads?

I have a UC560 that I recently upgraded to Software Pack 8.6(2).
The default phone loads from this software pack, are different than what's currently available to download from CCO, for certain phone models.
For example, the Cisco SPA508G firmware load that comes with SW Pack 8.6(2) is 7.5.2c. However, the most current firmware load available from CCO is 7.5.5 (released 6/14/2013).
Can I upload the latest phone load zip file from CCO, to the UC560? Or is UC560 only supported with the firmware loads that come with the software pack?

Hello,
You can run the new phone loads with the current software pack. Generally, I would only advise doing that if you are running into a specific issue/new feature that requires an upgrade first.
Thanks,
-john

Another user of your computer is currently using this connection. This user must disconnect before you can log on.

Hello
I have a single computer that is going to be shared between 5 people. In an effort to save time. I wanted the users to have a single shared LOCAL login to the computer.
Then each user could pull up an RDS session through RDWEB on our 2012 r2 RDS farm.
However, when I attempt to log in more than one user through RDWEB I receive:
Another user of your computer is currently using this connection. This user must disconnect before you can log on.
I have done some research on this, and followed this advice, and did the following steps on all my RDS session host and broker servers
Enable Multiple RDP Sessions
- Log into the server using Remote Desktop.
- Open the start screen (press the Windows key) and type gpedit.msc and open it
- Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host > Connections.
- Set Restrict Remote Desktop Services user to a single Remote Desktop Services session to Disabled.
- Double click Limit number of connections and set the RD Maximum Connections allowed to 999999.
However, it did not solve the problem. Anyone have suggestions?

Hi Michael,
In addition you can try below registry setting for multiple remote session.
HKEY_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server
fSingleSessionPerUser REG_DWORD 0x00000000
Note: By default the registry value is set to 1, but you need to change to 0.
Also if you are making connection through gateway then recheck whether the setting is enabled on gateway side for multiple session.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

My Ipad 2 cant find my HP3050A j661b airprint printer although the printer is connected to the same wireless network and software updates are current on all and my other laptops also work properly with this printer.further more it used to work with my IPAD2 before when I used the old wireless router but now I changed it to HAUWEI HG231f but I set everything in the same way it was. Thanks in advance.

When you change to the new router, did you re-run the CD to re-set the new SSID and password to the printer.
Otherwise your iPad will not be able "talk" to your printer.
