    You need to go through 10.6.3 and 10.6.8 to get to 10.7 or 10.8. If you find that 10.6.8 isn't enough, open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion 10.8. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU with at least 2GB of RAM, and if it does, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.

    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),

    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:

    I have a Mac pro with osx ml in a Ethernet connection and a apple tv with a wireless, there is no way I can see the airplay in my Mac pro

    Mac Pros don't support Airplay.  Only some post 2011 Macs do, MAc Pros aren't amongst them.

    You could try Airparrot software as a workaround.

  • I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
    You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
    Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
    Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.

  • How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    How do i upgrade from 6.0.6 to the latest version of iPhoto . I have a mac pro with OS 10.7.5 ?

    The latest version of iPhoto  - 9.5.1 -  requires MacOS X 10.9.x.  Is it possible to upgrade your Mac to Mavericks? Then you can buy the latest iPhoto from the AppStore.
    If your Mac does not support Mavericks, you could upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.3, see:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  , but this version is no longer availbale from the AppStore. Buy a boxed retail version of iPhoto '11 from Amazon or eBay, and then update it from the support page  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650  .

  • I have a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and FCP7 installed I would like to run FCP7 and FCPX on the same computer, is this OK

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) with Mac OS X version 10.6.8, I use this for video editing with FCP7. I would also like to install FCPX, my operating system is Snow Leopard. Is this OK or do I need to up-grade my operating system. I want to be able to use FCP7 and FCPX on the same Computer. Your advise will be appreciated.

    You will see from the hardware spec that the latest version of FCP X requires Mavericks.
    The Mavericks spec shows you can upgrade to Mavericks on your Mac Pro.
    Ensure you have a bucket full of RAM installed.

  • I have a Mac Pro, 32 bit. I want to upgrade to 64 bit to use Photoshop Adobe. Can I upgrade or do I buy a new computer with 64 bit?

    I have a MAC Pro, OS X Lion, 10.7.5 with a 32 bit processor. I want to purchase Photoshop Adobe CS6 software which which requires a 64 bit processor. Can I upgrade my Mac to 64 bit or would it be less expensive/less trouble to just purchase a new computer?

    All Xeon cpus are 64-bit.
    64-bit kernel lets CS6 tasks address more than 3.5GB and can improve performance by as much as 15%.
    Buy yourself some SSDs, took for a 6G PCIe SSD controller that really supports the Mac Pro 1,1 and use that for scratch, and an SSD for the system. FBDIMMs are cheaper though 8x4GB might not be to your liking.
    Then wait for the 2nd revision of the "cylinder" to be 7,1 and put aside enough to pay for it outright or pick up a 2009 4,1 and plan to do some upgrades with it, they are going like hotcakes for under $900.

  • ''No output devices found'' message on my Mac Pro with Lion... Any suggestions? What should i do to resolve the problem?

    I turn on my mac without hearing the chime boot sound from Apple.. after that im always turning on my Motu (extermal soundcard firewire) i still got that message, by audio midi setup my Motu appears from some minutes and then goes away again.. The same time that my Motu appears i simply start a mp3 file to check if i got a sound but still no luck... Made all possible updates but still no sound.. I'm using Logic pro 9 and have lots of thing here to do.. Try also a hotline from Apple to call but im waiting like more than an hour and still no answer... Please any suggestions? I am afraid it can be a hardware problem
    This problem came for the first time after i made an update in Avid Protools...
    After that i tryed everything and still got no sound... Next step i FORMAT my Mac Pro.. Back everything UP and reinstall Lion and still '' NO OUTPUT DEVICES FOUND'', i performed a clean install.. Thats why i am afraid it can be a Hardware problem.. So, if anyone of you guys know something about it, please share your knowledge with me..
    Thanks in advance

    Try a different user account and see if the problem persists.

  • I have a Mac os with Lion.  I want to make a photo mosaic but can't find software to do this.

    I am looking for a software program for my Mac os with Lion that i can use to make photo mosaics.

    Sorry, I had a different idea of "mosaic"
    If you want to create something like a collage or a puzzle iPhoto is not the right application.
    Unfortunately you hav to use a seperate application for this. I'm pretty sure you will find a matching App in the App-Store.

  • I have a 2008 Mac Book Pro with 2gb of memory and it wont let me install mountain lion or mavericks...why not?

    I cannot get Lion to install on my 2008 Mac Book pro.  It has 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM of memory and has a  2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.  Is there still something that I am missing?

    OS X 10.9.4 is the current release of the operating system. Older versions are not available from the app store. Does your system meet the requirements for OS X 10.9?

  • How to upgrade from PowerPC G4 w/1GB using CS2 to Mac Pro w/2GB running CS3

    Hello. I have a Mac PowerPC G4 with 1GB of RAM and I'm running OS X 10.4.11. I'm using CS2 ver 9.0.2.
    I have a new Mac Pro with 2GB of RAM and I'm running OS X v10.5.2.
    I would like to run CS3 on my new Mac Pro.
    Could anyone guide me in accomplishing this? I'd like to buy the upgrade to CS3 of course.
    I can't figure out how to do this because of course I want to just load CS3 on the new computer but I want to pay for just the upgrade. And, if I buy the upgrade, I'm not sure my old computer will run CS3.
    Thanks,
    Deena

    Deena,
    In addition to the previous comments, before you do this though, I recommend that you put more RAM in your computers (particularly the G4) so they don't choke trying to run CS3, your operating system, and whatever else you have running. Also check your hard drive free space, particularly on your older Mac, so that you have scratch disk space and place to store at least some of your images.
    And in preparation for the CS3 installation (which is really quite easy), be sure you boot off the System Disk and use Disk Utility to repair permissions and the disk and boot off the DiskWarrior disk and run repairs as well. Repeat repair permissions after the installation. These maintenance routines will help insure that your new CS3 runs well.
    You will find that you have both CS2 and CS3 on your drive. You can safely uninstall CS2 if you wish.
    If you have questions about any of this, please get back to us.

  • Mac Pro with ATI Radeon HD2600, can't get Vista Aero to work

    Hi from Newbie
    I have a Mac Pro with Vista bootcamp installed, ATI Radeon HD2600, 512 mb of video ram, and 8 gb's of RAM, but I can't get Vista Aero mode to work. The driver doesn't specify WDDM, could this be the problem? Can I find a compatible driver elsewhere?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need to install drivers from ATI directly.
    http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
    And when upgrading drivers, it helps to use Driver Sweeper and follow some recommended steps:
    http://evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=396474
    (applies to any driver but written with Nvidia in mind)
    Of course to get full benefit of RAM, and power of your system, you need 64-bit version.
