I have a mac book running leopard software, 10.5.8 how can I get my computor up to date as lion requires minimum 10.6.6.
You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6. See this list for 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/
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion for $29 from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. As for 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 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.

I have a brand new mac book pro, I want to plug my iPhone into it & transfer everything from it onto the mac book, pics,music etc. I'm worried if I plug my phone into the Computer I will loose everything. How can I make sure this doesn't happen?
When you plug your iPhone to Mac,click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos".Then iTunes would never delete your original music.
The most easy way to solve your problems is to move your music to your new Mac.Please refer to this article from Apple.com

My Mac book pro has been infected by findgala; how can i get rid of it?
Cannot get rid of this bloody virius....would appreciate it if someone could show me how to burn this out of my system? I'm not the most up to date person in regard to how my Mac works, so any advice will need to be dumbed down a little.
ThanksBackup your data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine or bootable clones, disconnect.
Unistall Chrome and/or Firefox.
Head to System Preferences and create a new Admin account, log into it and delete the first one, reboot then recreate it.
Log into the originally named account, use ClamXav to run a scan on the external drive and transfer just files back into Pictures, Music, Documents etc folders, nothing into Library!, don't erase the external drive.
See if your problems continue, and if they do then your looking at infection in your Admin privledged folders, thus a command r or commnad option r held at boot to erase the entire Macintish HD partition and a resinstall of OS X from Apple's servers, need your AppleID and password.

Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info?
Hello, I have a Mac Book Pro mid 2012, and forgot password, how do I reset it without losing info? I certainly dont want it to be reseted by apple with my info from work, thank you very much for further response.
First, make sure caps lock is not on.
You must back up all data before continuing, unless you've already done so. If you need to back up but can't log in, ask for instructions.
If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
Select
▹ Restart
from the menu bar.
You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
*Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
If you forget the password and FileVault is on -
I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?
Hello,
I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion? I need to be able to download some graphics apps from the Mac store and I do not have that capability with 10.5.8.
I am American but live in Italy so have missed an update or two. When I went to the Mac store in the States this summer they told me if I could work well with this outdated version, to leave as is as I had missed two updates. Now I need to I need to be able to download some graphics apps from the Mac store and I do not have that capability with 10.5.8. I need at least 6.6.0 it says.
Thank you,

Make sure your machine supports Snow Leopard requirements. The same with Mountain Lion if you want to move even further up the animal kingdom. -

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.
Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

I have problem downloading av player hd.... How can i get back my money.....?? I need to buy similar application..... Plz i need help...
Reload it from the original source. If you got it with the computer, that will either be the computer's original disks or the Mac App Store depending on what its original OS was.

I bought a used iPhone on ebay. when I try to activate it, I get a message that the owner needs to sign in to the device with their appleID and password. I have no way of knowing who the owner is. How can I get around this?
Check the eBay listing. Did it state the device was Activation Locked? If not, then make a claim as Meg stated and get a refund. You will not be able to activate the phone and no one can help you contact the owner, unless that is the person that sold the device. If they cannot remove the phone from their account because it is not theirs, then refund is your route. Even Apple cannot assist with locating the previous owner.

My iTunes Match automatically charged me for a second year when the first year finished. In spite of that, I have lost all of my playlists on my iPhone. How can I get them back?
Hi,
No need to post three times!
Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?
