I have 2006 MacBookPro running Mountain Lion. Would like to install Maverick, any problems?
I have a MacBook Pro I got in Dec. 2006. Have Mountain Lion installed. Some new apps require Maverick, any problems, like slowness, etc installing Maverick?
Thanks,
Bill
If you are running Mountain Lion, you don't have a 2006 Macbook Pro. If you are running 10.8, then you can run Yosemite.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher

I have a 2011 MBP running Mountain Lion. Tried to install Mavericks, but it keeps telling me " cannot install Mavericks because disc is used for Time Machine backup". I tried disabling TM by issuing the command in console " sudo tmutil disable local". Still no luck. Is there a way of erasing all the time machine backups from my system disc?
Thanks.Thanks Matt. I tried erasing the "Backups.backupdb" folder. It does not allow me to do that, inspite of "sudo"-ing. I ended up installing Mavericks on another disc, and use disc migration assistant to transfer my data, before swapping out the old disc from the MBP.

i have photshop cs3 for windows but i now have a mac book pro and would like to install it on my mac where can i go to download it for mac and will my prod key work ?
Serial numbers for older versions do not work across platforms.
At one time, when the product was current, you could get Adobe to switch you to the other platform, but I don't know whether Adobe will do that for old versions. I do know it's not going to work if you try to use your Windows license for a Mac installation.

I have an 11" Air with lots of remaining capacity running Mountain Lion. I also have a digital point-and-shoot camera. I have never downloaded images from the camera to this Air. However, if I just connect the camera to the Air's USB port, with the camera's available cable, and the Air is open, will a program like ImageCapture or iPhoto, auomatically come up, and I can begin to download wanted images? Or, will this sort of connection delete or fry everything on the Air? Do I need any other software on board? Will current Apple onboard programs allow me to download images from my camera and not destroy everything else?
Answered. Thanks.

Will my 2006 macbook run mountain lion?
title says all
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
It's the video card. Yours has non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the 256mb 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.

I do need mountain lion so I can use icloud. When I downloaded Mountain lion I couldn't find any of my docs because (as it turns out) my hard drive was split and so now everything is in sepperate places and I cant find bits etc. So....... I want everything to be in one place, easy to use as before. I have everything backed up to an external hard drive now.
Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless. -
My Fantom backup drive is failing and I have to send it in for warranty repair. Before I do that I want to copy the time machine contents to a new drive and then use it for the backup, continuing on as if nothing had gone wrong with the first drive. Can I do this? Is it as simple as duplicating the first drive and replacing it with the second? New drive arrives Tuesday PM and both drives have dual firewire 800 ports.
I have used the Disk Utility to verify the contents of the backup drive so I don't think I have any corrupt files. The drive just takes a minute or so to spin up to speed. If I turn it off and then back on, it beeps at me for a few seconds and then starts it's slow process of trying to spin. I think it's a power problem not a data problem. I have my fingers crossed that it holds on until Tuesday PM when the new drive arrives. I'm thinking that my two options are to duplicate the bad drive or partition the new drive and put the old backups on one partition and start afresh on the second partition. Any input?
And thanks to both of you for the valuable information so far! -
I have a Touch. It sync's automaticly when I plug it in. I like this.
I bought a Shuffle for my wife today. I want to put a playlist on it. When I plugged it in for the first time, it sync'ed with all my Touch stuff and is now full.
How do I empty the Shuffle.
How can I plug the Shuffle in if it automaticly fills up with my Touch stuff?
I have windows xp.
Thanks,
JeffSome apps that you download on your iPhone may possibly be to new for the iPod touch 2nd gen. I have a iPhone 5 and a iPod touch 2nd generation myself. If you plug his ipod into iTunes and restore it from a backup of your iPhone than it will download the paid apps and music that are compatible with his ipod. Hope this helps.

Hi, sorry that a lot of info in subject heading.
Here is copy of ML Finder iphoto
Here is the Maverick finder window. i see the same iphoto library exists as an item of the iphoto library but wonder if there needs to be a software import to ensure it goes in the right place or whether just to copy and paste.
Thanks for your help.
DavidIf you have not imported anything into the iPhoto Library on Mavericks, copy the old iPhoto Library over to the Mavericks computer and start iPhoto. It should grab the Library and convert it.
If you put it in a different place, hold down the Option key when you open iPhoto and it will ask where the Library is you wish to use. -
Trying to install the last of three purchased Office MAC licenses for a new MacBook Pro. How do I retrieve info to download on to new computer. I can pull it up on my own MacBook but I already have it installed on this one. Thank you.
You purchased a boxed set, or a download? If it's a box set, look at the box for the license number. If a download, it will have been emailed to you.

Advance warning - Mail worked fine.
I had fits with the last link I posted. At first it worked fine, then all of a sudden, it quit working. I now have iCloud - iCal syncing, but iCal is read only. Not a real big deal since you can log onto iCloud using Safari and post a new event.
I finally gave up on Address Book because it kept creating multiple contacts, which if you tried to merge or delete the multiple contacts, the contacts were deleted. It also worked at first and then stopped working as it should. -
If I have mountain lion would and am trying to run parallels would I have to run Windows 7 or can I just run Windows Vista?
It's the other way round: first, you install Parallels, and then you can install Windows 7, 8, Vista, whatever you want. Or Linux. For more information visit the Parallels website.

I have a imac 10.5.8 with 1 GB of memory. If i upgrade to 3 GB of memory will i then be able to run mountain lion ?
What year, CPU speed and screen size is your iMac?
It appears as if it's one of the 2006 models that can only take up to 4 GBs of RAM, but only 3 GBs is recognized.
3-4 GBs of RAM is really the working minimum amount for OS X, alone.
The minimum iMac hardware spec for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is a mid 2007 model iMac.
2006 models cannot run Mountain Lion, but can run OS X 10.7 Lion.
If you have a mid 2007 or newer iMac, my advice would be to install, at least, either 6 or 8 GBs of RAM.
OS X, by itself, to run smoothly,quickly and efficiently can use between 3-4 GBs of RAM leaving virtually no RAM for any additional applications.
If you have an iMac that can take more than 8 GBs of RAM, think of installing more if you can afford it.
Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing) also known as macsales.
Good Luck!
