I have a mac book from 2010, can i upgrade to safari 6?

I am having trouble upgrading to safari 6. When I go to app store to upgrade i am confused, because I feel I need to add some other program before I can upgrade.  Do I need to download Mountain Lion to get to Safari 6?

You can download 10.7 (Lion) or 10.8 (Mountain Lion) from theApp store. A 2010 Macbook with at least 2gB RAM meets the requirements. Either will cost $20.
With that upgrade you will also automatically get a Safari update.

  • We have a Mac Book from 2007 System Version:     Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167)   Kernel Version:     Darwin 8.11.1

    We have a mac book purchased in 2007 System Version:          Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167) Kernel Version:          Darwin 8.11.1
    Which OS X version should we or can we upgrade to? 

    A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $200 since they haven't been made for over 4 years so they're getting pretty rare.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for third party programs compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications 
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/  
    I recently upgraded an older MacBook (Early 2006 model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 if you want to upgrade further 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 $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
      Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. To see which model you have go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The model 2,1 (Mid 2007) can use 3gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM
    The model 3,1 (Late 2007) can use 6gb of 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM

  • I have a Mac Book Pro A1226 - can i install Windows 7 on this via boot camp

    I have a Mac Book Pro (A1226 -late 2007) and I want to run Windows 7 Ultimate on it via Boot camp.   I am currently running Mac OS X 10.6.8  with Boot camp 3.0.    For some reason I can't seem to install Windows 7 through Boot camp.  Can I even install it on this computer?  Would I be able to run Windows 7 on this computer if I purchased Parallels instead. 
    Thanks

    You should try asking in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out. Your issue has been discussed there many times.

  • I HAVE A MAC BOOK AND I CAN GET TO WORK THE CD 1 IT DOESN'T READ AND ONLY APPEAR A ICON LIKE A FOLDER WIR ONE QUESTION MARK, CAN SOME BODY HELP?

    I HAVE A MAC LAP TOP MAC BOOK AND  WANT JUST TO REINSTALL THE SOFTWARE I DONT CARE ABOUT MY FILES I HAVE BACK UP BUT WHEN I INSERT THE DISK VERSION 10.5 WHICH COMES WITH MY COMPUTER DOESN'T WANT TO READ I HEARD THA IS TRYING BUT NOTHING,
    CAN SOME BODY HELP ME...

    There is a possibility that the disk drive could be broken, if it just spits it back out that usually means its toast. If your MacBook has a Core 2 Duo processor, you can install Lion (via a thumb drive not disks). Here is a link to the Lion thumb drive.You can also still order them for $19.99 by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE. Also you can borrow an external disk drive and try the Leopard disks that way as well.
    Good Luck!

  • I have a Mac mini 3.1, can I upgrade to mountain lion ?

    hi, can I upgrade my Mac mini 3.1 to run OSS mountain lion ?

    Yes, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 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 Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             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 have a mac book pro 2010 and when i turn it on i get the gray apple logo and a spinning wheel.

    it acts like it's going to download, but gets halfway through and turns back off. i've tried to put it in safe mode by holding the shift button down, but it wont do anything..

    Use the original installation disk and get into Disk Utility. 
    Insert the DVD in your MBP as if you will be installing the OSX. 
    When you get to a display where there is a menu bar on top, click on UTILITIES. 
    From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility.
    Op[en Disk Utility.First Aid and run Verify and Repair.
    Ciao.

  • HT1338 I dont have a mac book air can you install apps like (angry birds, temple run)

    I dont have a mac book air. Can you install apps like angry birds and temple run?

    Can you install them on what? Those are both iOS apps (meaning they can be installed on iPods, iPhones and iPads), but iOS apps cannot be run on either a Mac or a PC. I believe that there is a Mac version of Angry Birds as well, which is completely separate from the iOS version of Angry Birds.

  • How to restore new mac book from time machine

    i curentley have a mac book and am planing on upgrading to a pro but i have to sell this one first. can i restore my new mac pro using the time machine backup from this mac book or is there another way i have to do this being as i wont have both laptops at the same time?? 
    thanks for any help..

    If you can recover the old machine (may not be worth the cost), then you could deactivate directly. A lot depends on what crashed, the HD, mother board, or other. On a PC, the hard drive can sometimes be recovered with SpinRite as long as the crash was not fatal. There are other tricks too, but all of them depend on the crash conditions and what the problem is. If the hard drive is actually good, maybe you could just put it in another machine and run the deactivation. Of course, not everyone has a bunch of machines on hand to play with. For PCs, I often head to the department surplus pile and see if I can find something to work with (not my stock). If I find a working machine there, then I just swap it out. Of course, that is for work machines. For a home machine, I might do it for testing or repair and then put things back after the repair.

  • Mac book pro 2010 stange issue..

    hi there I have a mac book pro 2010 and have an issue, the computer appears to be running fine in most ways but key board wont illimuminate anymore and it says I have 0 percent battery level and yet it stays running while plugged, also the cd drive wont take cds...I tried the smc reset nothing happend... can anyone help?!?!

    It sounds like your charger cord is not charging, but still powering the computer.   The problem could be either the charger cord itself or the power supply unit inside the computer.  Do you have an amber light on the mag-safe detector when it is supposed to be charging?   The easiest way to check is if you have another power cord that can be plugged into the computer.  If you don't, your next best option is to take it into an Apple store and the Genius Bar.  They can determine in a few seconds what the problem is.  The same thing happened to my 2010 MBP.  I was convinced that the charger cord was working fine and that they would have to replace the motherboard.   The Genius bar found that it was indeed the charger and replaced it at their expense.

  • I have a Mac book pro with 2 users myself and my husband I loaded pics from our camera onto my user page does anyone know how to view these pics from my husbands login page can I transfer some of my library to his login page

    I have a Mac book pro with iPhoto updated to iPhoto 11 we have 2 users on our Mac myself and my husband.  I recently loaded all of our pictures from a recent trip into iPhoto under my login screen.  Can these photos also be transferred into my husbands iPhoto library under his login screen ?  I want to transfer some not all of them and already deleted them from the camera card.

    Use iPhoto Sharing.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.

  • HT204380 i have a mac book pro and a i-pad 2. both of the devices have the same apple id and same mailing adress. if i want to make a face-time call from my mac book to i-pad 2. how can i do that?

    i have a mac book pro and a i-pad 2. both of the devices have the same apple id and same mailing adress. if i want to make a face-time call from my mac book to i-pad 2. how can i do that?

    You have to add another email address on one of the two devices that you can use as the "You can be reached for FaceTime at" contact address and then remove/uncheck the Apple ID email address as the contact address on that device. The way you are currently setup is like to trying to call yourself on your on phone - from your own phone.
    Using the iPad as the example go to Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached for FaceTime at>Add another email address. Then add a working email address in the next window. Apple will verify the email. Go to the inbox of that email account, read and respond to Apple's email in order to complete the verification process.
    Go back to Settings>FaceTime>Uncheck the Apple ID email address and make sure that the new email address is checked/selected (you will see it being verified again) and that new email address will be your contact address for the iPad.

    Call Apple and make a appointment.
    You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
    Good Luck
