I am running 10.6.8 want to upgrade 10.8 will i loose some older operations like iweb?

I am running 10.6.8 time to upgrade 10.8 will i loose some older operations like iweb?
Also if i load Mavericks will I still be able to revert back if I don't like the format?

Upgrading from 10.6 will loose Rosetta and therefore, all legacy software that relies on Rosetta. That includes things like MS Office versions older than 2008.
You need to make a backup of your content, on an external drive, before updating so you have a means for reverting if necessary. To revert to an older version of Mac OS X you have to erase the hard drive and then reinstall the older Mac OS X and all content. That is easiest if done from a complete backup of your current system.

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.

I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?

Install the new drive in the computer.
Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive. Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure. You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
      mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
      the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
      is failing or has failed and will need replacing. Otherwise, click on the
      Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
      the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
      (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
      GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
      wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
      drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
      window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
      Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
      return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
      hours depending upon the drive size.
Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
      Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume. Click on the Restart button. You should boot from the new drive. Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

Is there a discount option for someone running Logic 8 who wants to upgrade to 9? I know the price of 9 has been reduced in the App store but there always used to be a discounted upgrade option. Just wondered.

I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac and have partitioned my hard drive to run Windows XP. If I upgrade to Yosemite, will I still be able to run XP?

...Now what happens if I upgrade to Yosemite on either my iMac or my MBPro?
If I install VM Fusion or Parallels, does Windows run all the time? How does that affect computer performance? and how much do I need to worry about hard drive corruption?
Current versions of Fusion and Parallels are compatible with Yosemite. Both are applications which you only run when you want to run Windows within them. As such, there's no effect on computer performance when they're not in use. Like any other software, there is some additional load on your Mac when both Windows and the Mac OS are running together, but any noticeable effect depends on what each is being expected to do and what resources (e.g. available RAM and the number of CPU cores) you can devote to each.
I think there's less chance of HD corruption with a VM than there is with running Windows natively on the Mac in Boot Camp. Consider that, with a VM, you can create Snapshots of the state of your VM at a given time, and then, if something goes wrong (virus, malware, software installations), you can simply restore the Snapshot in a matter of seconds and eliminate the problems in the process. Moreover you can make a backup copy of the entire VM file, and replace a later version if you wish. Also consider that you can assign, say, 100GB of HD space to the VM, but the actual space devoted to the VM is only what's actually used; as more is needed, more is made available and Windows can't tell the difference. So, for example, my Win 7 Pro VM has an 80 GB virtual HD but only takes up 45 GB on my SSD, and that's with XP Mode in VPC installed inside it.
Microsoft no longer supports XP, though virus signature updates are still being issued. But MS has installed a pop-up message about EOL that won't go away (it's installed with KB2934207). Even if you remove that KB in Add and Remove Software, the pop-up continues. But if you have a Snapshot or a backup which is prior to it's original installation, you can skip installing KB2934207, and suppress it's reappearance on a Software Update list.

Hi,
No, you can upgrade and your device (not your OS version) will stay unlocked.
Hope that helps.

After doing a search, when I click on the website I want to go to, it will go to some search or ask type of site and not the one I tried to go to.

After a search, when I click on the site I want to go to, it will take me to a different site (like an ask or search type of site, seems like the same 3 or 4 always) when I to go back to the search page ( takes 2 or 3 clicks on the back arrow) and try the site I wanted again it will send me to the wrong site again. I have to do this 3 or 4 times until it will go to the site I want. If I copy n paste the site url in the navigation bar it will go to the site I want, but it's kind of a pain to do that, and I never had to do that before. Also, it does the same thing if I'm using yahoo or google to search. Thank you in advance

Want to upgrade firmware - What will be reset?

I want to upgrade my firmware to the latest Curve 8900 firmware from T-Mobile. I've installed a couple of apps which I don't mind reinstalling or reconfiguring, but I'm more concerned with losing settings such as my profiles, which are pretty complicated and tough to document well.
When I do a firmware upgrade, what settings will get reset to factory defaults, and what will be left as is?

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Do a full backup of your device before doing the upgrade, then restore the backup your settings will be restored.

Running 10.5.8 want to upgrade?

Hey everyone,
I've got a white MacBook 2008 running OS X 10.5.8. Never had any problems, runs perfectly fine therefore never really seen the need to upgrade to any newer OS's that have been released. If it aint broke don't fix it!
Recently as I'm using Google Chrome keep getting the annoying "Adobe Flash Player was blocked because it is out of date", to then be told about how it's no longer supported blah blah as it's such an old OS.
Finally coming to terms with the fact I may have to spend a little cash updating this old thing. From research on here I understand I'd have to order the DVD from the Apple Store by phoning them up - any ideas on prices if this is correct?
Also, I assume you have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first and then Mountain Lion afterwards - but I'm also unsure if my MacBook can run Mountain Lion after a few conflicting posts on here?
Attached my hardware info if thats any help to anyone! :-
Many thanks in advance, thoroughly appreciate any help!
Jenni

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountain Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

The model 4,1 Early 2008 MacBook will not be able to run Mountain Lion, but it can run 10.7 Lion. Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $20.
It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion requires 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion no longer supports Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

I am running 6.1 and want to upgrade to 7.1 then to 10.1. I understand this is a two step process and can find where to upgrade from 7.1 to 10.1 but cannot find 6.1 to 7.1. Can anyone head me in the right direction?

Where can I find the pathway to upgrade my 6.1 iMac to the Lion 7.1 and then to the Montian Lion 10.1. I think I have to update to Lion before I can update to montian Lion but cannot find the upgrade to take me from 6.1 to 7.1

What are we talking about here? You've posted in a Windows forum, but seems you are referring to an iMac. But you are not referring to OS X version numbers. Maybe you should make clear what you want.

I have a 500gb running my computer and want to upgrade to a 1000gb how can i do this?

Iam confident in changing HDs but wondering how to put all the operating software onto a new HD.
Many thanks,

The way the forums work, WE help solve and is reflected in points.
Glad we helped and hope maybe changed the direction you end up taking with your upgrades.
ce (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer. Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

The old slower SATA II's bandwidth has gotten to be a choke point.
Having all your files on one drive is an even bigger limiting factor.
Isolating system from your media libraries and data, from any scratch drive, helps.
Moving some of those off to another bus, one of the PCIe slots, takes advantage of additional bandwidth available (and probably going to waste currently).
You may have noticed all the newest Macs and future Mac Pro. moving to PCIe SSDs and no longer using even SATA III. Anything you can do now in that regard will help. iPhoto, separate from "Pictures" folder on another high-speed device, or Aperture, and also Lightroom, as well as CS6 scratch space.
That also means you aren't limited to 4 SATA drives or devices, and you should be using those 4 already for system, data, backup, media files.
It does make a difference. It did with my 7 yr old Mac Pro 1,1. that and more RAM, retire older disk drives for newest models, and probably the last GPU mine can make use of , the ATI 5770 (replaced the Nvidia 8800GT that cost even more).

G3 Wallstreet running 9.2.2 want to upgrade to 10.2 read threads no help

I seem to be having the same problem as everyone else and the suggestions that seem to have worked for others is failing for me. I have a wallstreet with 292 MHz and I have decreased my ram down to 128Mb in the bottom slot. Left bay empty and nothing connected. If I boot in os 9.2.2 and try to install 10.2 (white disk) it freezes at the apple logo. Starting up from the 10.2 install CD it still freezes. Does anyone have further options that I might try?
G3 Wallstreet 292MHz Mac OS 9.2.2 128 Ram <b

Appeal,
I would test the internal rechargeable backup battery (also serves as the PRAM battery) before disassembling the Wallstreet. Here is how it works and how to test it:

Are you sure the Jaguar CD is clean and a known-good entity? If unsure, definitely try another CD.
Also, please try just the 256MB module by itself.
If you have not done so, reset the PRAM.

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Want to upgrade to 6.1.3

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Want to upgrade to 6.1.3 because some apps only work with this version. I only get the option to go directly to 7.0.4 (iTunes) which is a bad idea for an iPhone 4 as everyone knows. I should have the right to choose which version I want to upgrade to, it makes no sense to have iOS 7 on iPhone 4. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!

Many people who have the iPhone 4 running iOS 7 have no performance problems, and a number have posted in these forums to say so, and they mean the entire iPhone, not just phone calls. So it is by no means predetermined that you would have performance problems should you upgrade.
But regardless, as tonefox said, you have no choice. You either need to stay with iOS 5.1.1, or you'll need to accept the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4. There is no way to upgrade to any intermediate version.
Regards.
