I have a mac pro 1,1. I would like to know if its possible for me to upgrade the parts to where i can install osx mountain lion, or osx mavericks? I am currently adding more ram so it will have 32gb of ram, i have 2 250gb HDD but adding a 250gb SSD , and have a ATI Radeon HD 4870 512mb that i will most likely upgrade to an ATi Radeon HD 5570 1gb.
The SSD will boot fast, but the real change is launching 10 programs in 10 seconds and being able to use them. (20 seconds for a few big suites).
I would not add or upgrade to 32GB RAM. You can get 8 x 2GB for $100 on Amazon.
Those 250GB HDD are "old" and slow and overdue to be replaced, reformat and use t o backup the system.
Samsung 250GB SSD is down to $150 or so on Amazon also.
The 5770 is gone, hard to find, EOL and over charged for when you do find one.
you could look into how to use a PC 6870 or others.
Or, you could hold out and wait for a refresh of Mac-Mini which can be just as fast or faster and run Mavericks.

You can't do anything but file a huge complaint with Apple and join the chorus.

I've already contacted Steve jobs about this issue long ago and we got the anti-glare MacBook Pro's back and the new iMac's have 75% reduced glare, but that's the last I've heard about it and it's not enough really.
There is about 1% glare glass, but the technology can't be exported to China where Apple makes it's stuff as it's a trade/military secret.
Last I heard Apple is going to start making Mac's in Texas, which would allow anti-glare touchscreen glass to be a possibility in future Mac's.
So keep sending those emails to Cupertino is all I can say. -

I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.
I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help. -
I have a Macbook 2007/08 model and the charger has decided to pack in. I have also recently purchased a Macbook Pro 2013 model and would like to know if there is an adaptor available that I can use on my Macbook Pro charger to charge the Macbook.
You can get a new third party 60W power adapter on eBay for under $20.

I have a Airport Time Capsule 2T, I would like to know if it is possible to backup all my apple divides (iMac, iPhone and iPad)?
The iMac can back up to the Time Capsule, but iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad back up to either iTunes on your Mac....or....to iCloud.
If the iPhone and iPad back up to iTunes on your Mac, then when the iMac backs up the iOS backups are sent to the Time Capsule as well. So, the iPhone and iPad back up indirectly to the Time Capsule.
The iPhone and iPad cannot back up directly to the Time Capsule.
For more information on iOS backups, see this Apple support document:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support -
I have put epubs into ibooks and i would like to know how i can then export them to an email or dropbox?
You will have to go via your computer's iTunes. Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases in iTunes (that should copy epubs and/or PDFs that are in the iBooks app, not just actual ibooks), and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its iBooks app. You can then email them or add them to Dropbox from your computer.

A few days ago i bought the macbook pro in a Providence. In late Summer i will come back to my Country - Ukraine. I would like to know about a tax for my
laptop. Can i return tax? Through the TAX FREE or return in airport? What should i do?You need to talk with the tax authorities in the countries to which you traveled and that of your home country. We are all end-users liek you and not Apple agents.

I have recently purchased my I PAD2 and would like to know about flash player
I have recently purchased my I pad and would like to know about Flash Player and what to download if any
thanksSkyfire web browser is the most popular app that will allow you to view Flash content on many, but not all websites. iOS devices don't support Flash natively due to stability and battery drain issues. It's agood move overall, and most websites send HTML5 content to iOS devices. But the transition isnt complete, so you'll still find that you can't view video on some sites.
Flash based games are pretty much out. -

Softbank does NOT offer unlocking. You cannot ever use that phone on another network. You will need to purchase a different phone if you wish to use another carrier.

I have jvc gy-hm100 video cam.I would like to know which format is best for final cut pro?
My camera has a every size of resoloution. From 1080-60/30 to 720-24.It is totally compatiable with FCP.What i would like to know is what format is recomended for music video's and film production.Any info is greatly apprec!!!! Thank you!
P.S. Ive been producing music for 15 years.Recording on Logic plat.Mastering and remixing every thing. I love mac!!! Now going into video i want to be just Pro with it as i have been with my music.I purchased the jvc because Mac Recomended it and how it plugs right in. FCP 7 is intense!All the available formats are "OK" for FCP7, the more important question is what's good for the movies you want to make?
In my limited experience, music videos tend to favor 24p for it's "film-like" qualities. The 1080 vs. 720 decision is frequently based on intended use; if you're going to release on the web, 720 is fine and brings much less filesize and overhead to the edit.
My personal preference is towards high-bandwidth footage like the 35Mbps HQ Mode your camera offers because it behaves so nicely in Color. Many people advise staying away from interlaced (HDV) footage unless you totally need it for action scenes.
I think the last 4-5 music videos I've done were all 720p24 and were web released.
Hope this helps... -
HT1338 I have a Mac Tiger version and I would like to upgrade my Operating System.
Can this be done by downloading it directly or do I have to bring in my computer to an apple store?
Your computer profile information is confusing. You say you are running Tiger yet your profile says your computer is running Lion which is three versions beyond Tiger. Which version are you running?
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window then "About This Mac", and tell us what it says for "version". Now continues to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
You can do any system upgrade yourself. The ease with which is can be done is more a matter of which version your really need. If you are indeed running Lion then upgrading to Mountain Lion can be done online for $20. If you are indeed running Tiger and are running an older computer that can only go to Leopard then you will have to do a lot of hunting for a copy of Leopard and be prepared to spend a lot of money buying it (maybe $100+?) -
I have about 4 Digital Audio Workstations (DAW's), Adobe Master Suite, Native Instruments Maschine Studio, Komplete 9, and loads of other plugins that will literally take days upon days to install.
Will I have to re install all of my software or are all my programs automatically integrated into the OSX Mavericks upgrade?
I have completed a Time Machine Backup already of everything.
Thank you guys kindlyIf you are upgrading an existing system, then the only software affected is OS X. All other files are left in place untouched. Some of that software may require updating for Mavericks compatibility. You also need to be sure all your hardware meet the Mavericks requirements.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
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 would like to be able to watch my rental movie/tv shows from Itunes on my tv... I understand that I cannot put it on a USB stick, but is there any other option available? I've tried USB to USB cable and am having no luck.
If you have a modern Mac with a mini-display or Thunderbolt port you should be able to obtain a converter from there to HDMI (e.g. this one) so that you can plug it through to your TV to mirror what's on your screen. Note that this output does not carry audio (at least on some Macs) so you will need to connect that separately from the headphone output (3.5mm stereo jack to whatever your TV or hifi uses).
