I have a mac with os x 10.6.8, should I upgrade it to os x 10.9.is there any problem which can occur after upgrading my os.

It is best to wait till there is a 10.9.1 update as new OS X systems always cause problems to some installations. Better not to risk losing data unless you have a bootable clone that enables you to revert to the original (pre upgrade) state. Haste makes waste.

  • I just got the iPhone 5 and took it on a trip and took a bunch of photos on it. I just came home and hooked it up to my Mac for the first time and hit restore. All of my trip pictures disappeared. Is there any way I can retrieve them?

    Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

  • I have macbook a1181. with os x 10.5.8 should i upgrade the OS

    to Snow Leopard or Lion? What would be the upside and downside to this upgrade?
    Thanks,
    ApplePie8

    10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to force it to run on Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So Snow Leopard will run faster and with a smaller footprint. 10.7 Lion would only be needed if you want to access part of the iCloud.
    First we need to know which model of MacBook you have. The A1181 is simpley the shape of the case of 17 different MacBooks. 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 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion which is a download only.
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.

  • TS1398 My iPod connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with airport or hotel routers. This model is no longer supported by Apple. Is there any way I can boost its ability to pick up Wi-Fi in public places?

    My iPod Touch connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with Wi-Fi at airports or hotels. Is there anything I can do?

    First what you want to do is connect to your wireless connection .
    Click On Settings>WiFi>Turn WiFi ON. Make sure you are connecting to YOUR wireless connection , check what is the name of your ssid(wireless name) on your router.
    Before you connect to your wireless connection check if your connection is secured or not. To do that follow, the steps above once you found your wireless.
    If there is a LOCK image that means your connection is secured, from this point you want to get that WEP or WAP key from your wireless router.
    Connecting to your wireless network with Ipod Touch
    If asked for password enter your WEP or WAP key and click on Join button, wait few moments and then see if you are connected. Test with your safari browser.
    Can't connect to wireless network?
    Few things you can check:
    Did you get an IP address from your wireless router?
    Unplug the power from your router shut down your ipod touch. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your Ipod Touch.
    with the router been in a cafe airport etc you need to ask them to reset there router
    You are not getting an IP at all?
    Are you sure you are connected to your wireless router?
    Does your router have MAC address filtering On?
    Did you enter correct Password (WEP-WAP key)?
    Few more things to check...
    Does your homepage work?
    Did you try yahoo.com google.com ebay.com etc?
    How about your YouTube do you get any videos?

  • I currently have a 3G with iOS 4.2.1 and should be upgrading to a 4G or 4S (not sure - depends on what work gives me) running iOS 5 or higher. Will a simple back-up of my 3G be enough to transfer all my data and settings to the new handset?

    I am wondering if there's anything special I need to do to make sure all my data and settings on my 3G iOS 4.2.1 phone will be transferrable to my new 4G or 4S iOS 5 phone.  Is it just do a backup and transfer it to the new handset or something else given the different OS? I really need to keep as much of the data as possible as this is a work phone but also has a lot of personal data I'd like to have access to post-handset change.

  • How do I use the brush to paint in latest version of Photoshop CC ?  I have a MAC with OS 10.10.2

    How do I use the brush to paint in latest version of Photoshop CC ?  I have a MAC with OS 10.10.2. 
    I clicked the brush tool, then clicked on color swatch that brought me to the colors and clicked OL... but not able to get the color I need.

    Well if I follow him, he creates an Exposure Adjustment Layer.
    Then he cranks up the Exposure, lightening the entire body, which he does not want. It's only the head.
    So leaving the Exposure set to where he put it, he selects that adjustment layer, clicks on that white thumbnail mask first, then paints
    using the brush and black. What this does is "hides" or Masks the exposure effect where he paints, it doesn't paint the picture black.
    He finds having to "mask" the entire body a lot of work. So he changes the mask to black by inverting it, and changes the swatch to white.
    Then being sure the black mask thumbnail is selected, he paints the head with the white color, punching a hole in the mask so the exposure setting comes through on the face.
    Does that make sense?

  • Had PSE 8 installed on PC Windows 7 with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If I install PSE 12 or Lightroom on this Mac can I use the cat. backup from Windows or must I start from scratch

    Had pse 8 on a Windows 7 PC with a catalog backup on an external drive. Now have a Mac with OS Mavericks. If install pse 12 or Lightroom on the Mac will I be able to use the old catalog backup or must I start from scratch.

    If you made a full catalog backup using the organizer's backup command, and you did it to a removable drive, yes, you can restore it to the mac. A backup made on discs will not work, though.

  • I shifted from a windows to a mac.. I want to add songs to my ipod tpuch 4th gen.. but if i try to sync with itunes it says my songs will be replaced by the new songs.. Is there any way that i can have my previous data safe??

    Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time.  If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
    Before doing anything else,  authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account.  In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
    Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc.  For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases.  For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier.  Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for information.

  • Tried to open. It crashes. I have a MAC with Yosemite.

    Installed product - with license. Tried to open. It crashes. I have a MAC with Yosemite. Thoughts? Adobe "help" website is useless.

    Sorry I'm not being clear enough.  I appreciate your patience...  I did that already ... downloaded the software successfully from my account in CC.  Put in the serial number when asked. All went well with the installation process. Went to launch the software and get the message I sent to you as an attachment.
