    You stated; " I have been successful with My Power Mac "
    A Power Mac is incapable of being upgraded to Mavericks. It is a PPC Mac which can only run versions of OS X up to 10.5.8 and no higher. Any version of OS X higher that 10.5.8 requires an Intel processor to run.
    Does the iMac meet the hardware requirements for Mavericks?

    Morning Lupoipia,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you can't be heard by someone who is calling, take a look at this article:

  • My 3 GS has been working fine for the last two years or so but recently it has been getting "stuck" frequently when I try to do various things - answer a phone call, switch screens, go to my mail, etc.

  • I am unable to get my iMac to recognize my Canon DSLR camera.

    I have a Canon EOS 50D DSLR Camera that I can't get my Mac to recognize when I connect the camera to the computer. Is there a driver that I can download for this? Anybody else have this issue?

    Or with a card reader or just the camera attached, the camera's memory card can appear as an external drive on the desktop; and you can drag/drop copies from there into a folder on the desktop for use outside of any one application, or burn the folder to a DVD or CD.
    I use a great, free third-party image editing software so I do not use iPhoto.
    While it is OK, and has fair features, the content in iPhoto can
    be more difficult to find later; the application has hiding places.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Unable to get correct ship Date-MRP ATP API Call

    Hi,
    We are facing issue in getting correct ship date by calling MSC_ATP_GLOBAL.Extend_ATP from OM for ATO Model. However, correct ship date returned by availibility check from OM.
    Currently, we are checking only capacity constrain by enabling CTP for critical resource for TOP Model(Resoure Only). The API is not checking the capacity constrain and returns ship date as sys date.
    Can someone provide your expert advise, why ATP ignores the capacity contrain (CTP) when called from API.
    PS: We are in distributed environment, Source on 11.5.10 and Destination on R12
    Regards,
    ML

    Hi Abhishek,
    Yes, I am able to see in the ATP details pegging tree (resource constrain- date getting pushed). In the API, I have set it as N.
    I dont see an option to upload the dump in the forum, can you please let me know what specific details to be checked in both files. I will check and let you know.
    Regards,

  • My iphone has a warm temperature when idle and it gets warm when I make certain phone calls using the ear buds that came with the iphone

    I am experiencing warm temperatures with my iphone 4? I cannot explain it but it seems to happen when I make certain phone calls or if the phone is just sitting idle? Any insight on this problem is much appreciated.

    When you say "shift to speaker mode" are tapping on "speaker" icon thta appears on the screen when you take the phone away from your ear? IF so go to settings/general/accessibility/incoming calls and check "default"

  • I am unable to get my bluetooth working message says "make sure car mutli media is in range" how do I get connected?

    I am unable to get my bluetooth working on my phone. the message says "make sure car mutli media is in range" how do I get connected and what does that mean?

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why do I get a text message when I get a phone call?

    Tell her not to text you when you don't answer her phone calls.

    Unfortunately, only adobe can help you with that, as most people here are just posters such as your self and don't work for adobe.
    If you go here and use the Chat now button (bottom of page), they should get you up and running by resetting your activations.

    Download and install VLC Player. It plays more formats and is free and highly regarded.

  • I am unable to get my decently new Imac to recognize or charge my brand new ipod nano.

    I am unable to get my decently new Imac to recognize or charge my brand new ipod nano.  I have tried to restart my computer and the ipod, neither have worked. Running itunes 10.7.  Please help.

    Can you see your device being connected to your iMac in the System Profiler?
    Although this is not an iPod touch, try these suggestions as well:

  • HT2311 Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8.

    Unable to get iTunes working on iMac with OS X 10.6.8. Have rolled back a couple of versions and same problem. iTunes seems to open but all functions are greyed out and must force quit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. On a couple of occasions have had options available, but once selected it hangs, and then all is greyed out and must force quit. Incidentally going directly to a song (before running iTunes) will open iTunes and play, but all options are still greyed out.

    It could be corrupted preference files, or a corrupted library file. You could try dragging the preference and iTunes library files to your desktop, launching iTunes, and see if the functions will then work. Your songs will of course be missing, but if that fixes the problem, you can put the files back one by one and see which causes the problem. If it's just a preference file, just trash the file and reset your preferences. If it's the library, post back and we can help you rebuild.
    Regards.

  • I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my Mac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events

    I have signed to up to iCloud and am pretty sure that all of my settings are turned on appropriately. However I get syncing from iCloud to my iMac and to my iPhone, but I am unable to get my iPhone to sync with the iCloud and most obviously calendar events, so that if adding an event on my iPone it never appears on my other hardware? Can anyone help me sort this out?

    Re: check that the appointments in my phone are going into iCloud calendars....exactly how do I do this?  I fear this is a really stupid question!
    My iCloud account is set up with my Apple ID as one email account (for example [email protected]) which is the email account I use to sign up for internet sites like Amazon, Apple,etc, so that I can differentiate vendors/mass emails.  But my default calendar on my iPhone is in a different email name (ie [email protected]) which I use for most communications to friends, relatives, etc. and it is this account that holds most of my appointments.  To further complicate things I have other email accounts that I use for business/professional and community work.  If I want all my calendars to show on my iPhone AND sync to my iCloud, do I set this at the phone level or the iCloud level?  or both?   
    Let me clarify....It looks like if I go into appointments that I previously set up through my personal account (ie above [email protected]) and edit the entry on my iPhone, selecting the iCloud "home" calendar within the entry, it will then sync to my iCloud account, no problem....do I have to do this to EVERY entry I have? or is there  a way to name my personal account as one to sync to iCloud?
