Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You could contact Apple Support and see if they have the original discs for that machine but it would be 10.4.11 and there's no reason not to go to at least Snow Leopard, especially since the 10.6 discs would probably cost the same as a replacement set of 10.4.11

  • I want to buy a mac and i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy

    actually i am new to mac so i am confused between macbook air 13 inch and i mac. which one should i buy? i will be installing windows 2 on it..

    An MBA is a portable while an iMac is a desktop and is not portable. You could install Windows on either provided each had sufficient memory installed and a large enough hard drive. The iMac is better equipped for this from the outset, but the MBA can be adequately configured if you are willing to spend the money to do so.

    i would try an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:

    if it still gives that message, you need to take it to apple store or apple service provider to have a new card installed. the apple site gives listings of providers and stores in your area:

  • I am using iPhone 4S lock came from Japan. From beginning, it is IOS 5.1.1 but now i have updated to IOS 7 and it is not working anymore now. Can you tell me what i have to do now?

    I am using iPhone 4S lock came from Japan. From beginning, it is IOS 5.1.1 but now i have updated to IOS 7 and it is not working anymore now. Can you tell me what i have to do now?

    No Japanese carrier provides unlocking services. Therefore, your phone must have been hacked to unlock it. That hack was removed when you updated the software. You need to be a legitimately unlocked phone.
    Best of luck.

  • I have an ipod touch. previously when i did not update it it used to download skype and kik messenger but now when i have updated it it wont download any od them. i have 4.2.1 software at the moment. im really confused, what might be the problem here?

    i have an ipod touch. previously when i did not update it it used to download skype and kik messenger but now when i have updated it it wont download any od them. i have 4.2.1 software at the moment. im really confused, what might be the problem here?

    Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

  • I have iphone 5 and its rare camera is not working pls help me

    i have iphone 5 warranty expired and its rare camera is not working so pls help me in this case and in service centre also they r not exchanging the phone pls tel me the idea hoe to fix this and start use of rare camers n front camer is working properly.

    We're all in the same boat, more or less. iOS 8.1 was supposed to fix Bluetooth issues (among other things) that appeared with the release of iOS 8.0.1 that iOS 8.0.2 didn't fix, and, well, they're still there...
    A fix is probably on the way, already, but when will Apple release it, no one know...

  • I have a HP Laserjet P2055dn booklet printing is not working anymore. Windows 7 64 bit

    I used to do booklet printing on my HP P2055dn; a feature that I loved!   Suddently thisfeature stopped and therefore  I updated the driver  but  now it is gone for good. 
    Under printer properties I used to have "General Printing", "dublex",  "Envelops", " Booklet" and "Defaults".but  now there is only "General" and "Duplex" the rest is gone.!!!!!.
    I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, Word 2010. Neither printer driver P2055dnUPS PC6 nor HP univerals PCL 6 works.
    Please note that  I still have  all the printer properties (above) on my laptop, Win7, 64 bit Word 2007 (old printer driver).
    I assume this has something to do with the compatability of Office 2010 AND the  Printer driver. I could easily test this by updating the printer driver on my laptop but I am afraid to lose this feature there too.  Any useful advice!!!!
    Update: I installed the old printer driver and  have all printer properties!!  There is a problem with HP updated relased in July 2011 !!
    Update: although the software shows the booklet prining and envelop option. Booklet prining is not working. So my quess is that the HP frimware update screwed everything up!!!  So what do do now?

    Hi,
    Please update the printer driver with correct version and compatible with Windows version.
    Then Open "Devices and Printers" and right click on "Printing Prefences"
    Create new Printing Shotcuts as below.
    Then go to the other tab Finishing and do exactly like the image.
    Apply and Save.
    Your Booklet printing and shotcuts is ready. now you can print.
    Please let me know if this is being useful for you.

  • I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 that all share the same iTunes account (apps, music, etc), but I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps?

    I have three iPhone 4 models purchased in late 2010 (for my family) that all share the same iTunes account for access to apps and music, but each phone/user still has his/her custom contact list, email accts, and select lists of apps and music from the one iTunes acct library.  The problem is I can only update the software on one of the three iPhones – the primary phone I used to setup the iTunes acct. What is the best solution to manage these devices for software updates, apps? This is probably a common problem with families wanting to share apps and music without realizing the issues created by this approach. As it stands today... the first (primary) iPhone associated with the iTune acct has been updated with the latest software version 5.1.1 and sync'd up with all the apps, music, etc from the one iTune acct, while the other two iPhones are still running on the original software version 4.0.2 and are experiencing problems now. I was advised by AT&T back in January that it would be necessary to setup separate iTunes accts for the second and third iPhones in order to receive system updates. The problem would be how to keep all the apps, etc from being deleted off the second and third phones that were originally loaded from the one iTunes acct. Since this AT&T advice was prior to iCloud coming out, would iCloud be a better solution or at least part of the solution? I really don't yet understand how iCloud works. Hopefully, someone out there can help me??  Please?

  • I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

    I do have wifi connection but no internet, how is this possible? I logged in to the internet at my friends place and when I got home my own internet was not working anymore

    This is possible to be connected to WiFi but not internet.
    You connect to your modem/router via WiFi and whether it is connected to the internet or configured properly to route the internet to WiFi devices is a different story.
    Now if you've already reset your WiFi (try disabling and enabling) and perhaps even restarting your MBP
    Then make sure that your modem/router is connected to the internet.
    You can try any other device, lights on the modem/router or use Eth cable to test.
    Report back your findings.

  • I have an iPod touch 4 but now i just forgot the password and its niether syncing nor even restoring and i dont even have find my iPod int what should i do

    i have an iPod which is disabled what should i do its neither restoring nor its back uping and i dont even have find my ipod thing please help

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Try another cable
    Try on another computer

  • Macbook versus ipad? which one should i buy?

    A few days before the ipad announcement I was just about to pull the trigger to buy a macbook. This was so I wouldn't be in my home office for hours after work but could be with the family on the couch catching on web-sites. My wife has her macbook and is in our den with the kids after normal work hours. Aside from my ipod touch, I have no way to check the news/sites I like except in the home office.
    I was just about to purchase the macbook but I'm wondering if the ipad is a suitable alternative? I'm a gadget junkie but I don't really want to buy both. But I wonder if that ipad would really be good for say reading the wall street journal, shopping on amazon, etc. I know it's not out yet but I thought maybe someone has seen the samples or has thoughts about similar devices.
    Also, will it work off my home wi-fi network or is signing up for ATT optional?
    Thanks.

    Be advised tho that - as I understood the announcements - iPad doesn't handle Flash, used by many web sites, just like your iPod Touch.
    I think the iPad is a stunning device, but it's not the equivalent of a MacBook, and both have their own strengths. I think you'll find the iPad to be essentially a large iTouch, which in my thinking doesn't really extend your capabilities, except for the screen size. You need to think carefully about what your real uses might be (and how difficult it will be to get the iPad away from your wife and kids ).
    Have you considered an MacBook Air? - much closer to the iPad size and weight with full laptop functionality.
    Good luck with that choice!
