Check first if your Mac might be compatable.

When I look at the storage, most of what is taking up the space is "other". I am not sure what these application or documents are but would like to reduce this so that I can store more pictures to edit. Any advice on how to find out what takes up this much space so that I can clear some off?
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working. Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside? Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

I am currently running System Version:Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) on a Macbookpro2,2
Is there any way I can upgrade to Yosemite? The App Store download says that they are unable to upgrade my system.No. Your computer can’t be upgraded past Lion 10.7.5.

I was planning on buying a new 13 inch MacBook Pro with 512 GB memory and 8GB RAM. The main purpose for this purchase Is to be able to run Final Cut Pro anywhere I want to. Should I upgrade to 16 GB of RAM with the added expense and wait time or is that overkill?
8GB should be plenty . . . though as with most things in life, it all depends on exactly what you are doing. If you intend to edit long, highly complex projects loaded with effects and multicam clips you can't get enough RAM.
For over 3 years, I and many others, have been using 4GB with no problems. -
How can i determine what year my macbook pro is from?
i want to see if upgrading to mountain lion for the Airplar Mirroring feature will work with my Mackbook Pro. I believe it is a Core 2 Duo so I know it is not very new but I purchased it off ebay so i am not entirely sure the build year.

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). -
If I have OS X 10.5.8 installed, how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion? Do I need Snow Leopard first?
I have a MacBook Pro from 2008, and I would like to install Mountain Lion, but I currently have 10.5.8 (which I think is Tiger?). Do I need Snow Leopard first in order to get Mountain Lion? Where can I buy Mountain Lion (since I can't get Mac App Store with my current OS...
Thanks!
JoYou'll need to purchase Snow Leopard (10.6) from the Apple Store before you can use the App Store application.

I'm trying to find out if I can use the mirror function to look at large construction drawings using my Apple TV. It says that my MacBook Pro has to be early 2011 or newer and I can't remember what it is.

HT4906 I just upgraded to Mountain Lion. Do I need to upgrade iPhoto to put photos on the iCloud??
Using Photo Stream is the same as putting photos on iCloud? Not sure of the terminology?
PS is part of iCloud. PS requires iPhoto 9.2 or later. Other iCloud features have different requirements

Are you being serious?
If you've done any programming in Java then I'd really have hoped you already realised it is a platform independent programming language, that was Sun's original intention when they created it , to be able to run compiled code on any Java Virtual Machine regardless of the platform:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29
And as for "dot net" - do you not realise that this is purely a MS Windows development framework?!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework
Just to be clear, (and I realise I'm being picky here, given that English isn't likely to be your first language), they are not "developer programs", they are programming languages or frameworks.
And for further clarification, the Mac operating system does support Java development, and does not support .Net (unless you install Windows on it!)
I can't comment on the 'mainframe' bit you're referring to without more detail. -
Hi
It always worked, till now. If I sell a Apple notebook because I bought a new one, I make a clone with CCC and with Command-R or Choose Startup disk I say to the new machine: now eat this, here's my old stuff.
It's a great way of upgrading to a new machine. But.. my late Macbook Pro 2013 (Retina, 16 Gb) doesn't allow me to boot from any of my disks: not Firewire, not USB 2.0 and not USB 3.0 (Imagine how many hours I lost to find this out). Btw, the disk image did boot on ANY OTHER Mac, besides the late Macbook Pro 2013.
In some threads, https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5499231?tstart=0, it's suggested that it has to do with a special Maverick that doesn't allow older "machines" to be booted from USB.
Anyway, here I am with a tremendous problem. Got my files safe in a clone, but my machine doesn't allow me to boot from it. Btw, out of desperation I tried to use the Migration Assistant, but that made a mess of Adobe versions.
Is there any workaround? How do I get the files + system files from my USB / Firewire disk to my Macbook Pro?I took the precaution to update my old Macbook Pro to the same Maverick version and EFF as my new one. The problem is rooted somewhere in the special version (and not the Combo) of Maverick.
Now I need something to outwit this. Gonna try to make an image of the clone, deleting a version file and than feed it once more. Will post the results here. -
Hello,
I have a black macbook purchased in early 2008, and I'm wondering if it has the capability of supporting 10.7 or any later editions of the iOS.
I've upgraded the ram and the HD, so the current specs are:
Processor: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2
Memory: 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2
HD: 1 TB
Graphics: Intel GMA x3100Upgrading 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.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. 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/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
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?

i'm using version 10.7.4, now i'm want to download os mountain lion do i need to do any backup on my files??
marcusts! It is always a good idea to have a backup of your files, whatever the circumstance.
Maybe make this your new project; buy an external hard drive to back up your files, and think about mountain lion after that.
