Would like to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro machine/software. How can I save my quicken data from quicken 2006?
Users have reported that Quicken 2015 for Mac is an upgrade of the generally loathed Quicken Essentials for Mac.
I recommend you continue your Quicken operating experience by purchasing Quicken 2007 for Mac directly from Intuit for $15. It will open your Quicken 2006 file and operate as you have before.
To obtain Quicken 2007 for Mac for $15:

If you are using Exchange 5.5 or later you don't really need a custom connector. Exchange has an export/import command "admin.exe" that can be used to create a csv file of your exchange users (and other info). All you'll need then is the meta UTC (Universal Text Connector).

I just got an Iphone 3g with the version 4.2.1 ios, I would like to upgrade to ios5 so i can run more apps like facebook. The facebook app wants version 4.3 ios and newer. Can i upgrade the 4.2.1 ios to iso5 and how do I do that? Thanks
Only if you have an older version of the facebook app that will work on iOS 4.2.1.
Otherwise, use the facebook mobile site. -
My specs are as follows:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel Iris
Software OS X 10.9.3 (13D65)
13-inch (2560 x 1600)
121GB Flash Storage
Memory 2 2GB slots
I would like to upgrade to 1TB, optimistically. This definitely depends on price. I definitely need 500GB at a minimum and maybe 2 TB at maximum. I think 2TB is definite overkill, but if the price difference is right then I would choose the more reasonable option.
I don't know if I want a solid state or not, because I don't fully appreciate the difference. I am definitely trying to keep my billfold happy, while solving the problem of the constant "Warning: your startup disk is almost full" message. I will spend a few extra bucks for quality and reliability.
Please help me out. I can barely do anything with this restriction.Who would be doing the work? You or Apple?
First, I would go to iFixit.com and see what upgrade options they may suggest, and better yet, see if the unit even uses standard OEM components. Most do, but there have been a few oddities here and there that don't. A hard drive will consume more power than the SSD so it's possible additional heating may be an unwanted side effect.
If interested, Hitachi is making a line of high speed, low power, high performance drives. See the thread linked below for details:
2.5 Inch Hard Drive - New Hitachi High Speed Experience and Questions
I got one of them and they're very high speed and low price for a mechanical HD.
The easiest thing to do would be get one of them, put it in a decent external enclosure and just connect it as Eustace Mendis suggested.
If you decide to do any types of upgrades, even if Apple is doing them, backup your system before doing anything else. -
I would like to upgrade my Macbook Pro Model A1278.
Hi,

Also, which are the parts I should buy to upgrade the RAM and hard drive memory (if its doable).
Currently my macbook runs a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor; 3 MB shared level 2 cache, 2GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM, 160GB 5400-rpm hard drive, its a 13'' laptop, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory, it currently has MAC OS X version 10.6.8.
Thanks for the help in advance!Maximum Memory

The largest hard drive you can install is a 1.5 TB drive from Hitachi (HGST.)
You can find memory at OWC, DataMem, or Crucial.com. OWC also sells suitable hard drives, toolkits, and online tutorials.
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 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 external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
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. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
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. -
hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto & i movie-all in one as a complete upgrade(and is it cheaper in a "package") or do i have to install each one three separately?
Aarrggghhhh, you in Australia, gotcha!
Merchandise prices are in U$D on all links I posted.
Amazon does shipping globally - see more here for AU shipping rates (in U$D)
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-11/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&q id=1311468383&sr=8-1
You can sign up for an account with them, being the largest online retailer in the world, they take all major credit cards and/or PayPal account as well.
If I were you, Id do some research on Australian online stores for iLife package before going with Amazon, maybe you could find it cheaper there. But given the bad shape the US Dollar has been in, you might also get a better deal with Amazon, because U$D is so dirt cheap these days!
I got my iLife 11 on Amazon. I buy Apple hardware on Apple's refurbished store, parts on OWC, and software on Amazon -
Would like to upgrade my Mac OS X
Would like to upgrade my Mac OS X 10.6.8 to hight spec for games that require minimum 10.7… can anyone advise how to do this? I'm completely hopeless at things like this and haven't got a clue where or how I'd start???? Thanks Any answers back or help would be great!!!
Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility. -
I just purchased a Power Mac PC G4. The system has OS Tiger 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade it to Lion.
How can I do It?
Thank You
HubertPPC (PowerPC) is the processor architecture of all G3, G4 and G5 Power Mac computers.
PPC Macs cannot run any OS greater than Leopard, 10.5.8 because after that, Apple quit developing for PPC processors and limited support for the Intel processor line only.
As for upgrade to Leopard, Yes, if your machine meets the minimum requirements of 867 MHz or faster processor, 512 MB or greater of RAM and has a DVD reader it can have Leopard installed.
To install Leopard, one must first purchase a RETAIL (black with X on it) disc.
After install of 10.5, 10.5.1,10.5.4 or 10.5.6 retail version, free updates to 10.5.8 are available from Apple.
Check eBay for discs:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
If your machine is slower than 867 MHz, Google "Unsupported Leopard Installation".
Tiger is lthe best choice for slower PPC Macs. -
Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?
Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck -
I have OSX 10.4.11 and would like to upgrade to Mavericks. Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard or do I have to climb through all the other OS'? Thanks.
Hi, you need 10.6.8 first...
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

I would like to upgrade my Imac 8,1 (20 inch early 2008) from 1Gb RAM to 4 Gb. Apple no longer provides 800Mhz2DDR2 SDRAM but recommended Crucial, Kingston or RAMjet.
Are there any difference in these vendors chips as the price range is from $51-$99?
Thanks, JohngI'm coming late to this string because I now have the same issue as gillnfly and you have all solved virtually all of my questions - thanks! My only other question to add to what you've already said is - I currently have 1 G of memory installed. Can I ADD a 2G card to get to 3G (probably more than I need), or should cards match if you have more than 1 - i.e., 2 1G cards or replace existing 1G with a 2G, or even 2 2G cards (way more than I need).
Thanks for your spot-on comments! I already found the OWC website and you've confirmed that's the best place to go.
