I have a Macbook 3,1 and 2.5 G of ram, running Mac OS 10.6.8, I can not upgrade to Yosemite. Any ideas?
Looking at the qualifications for the upgrade my machine seems to qualify. Any ideas?
Thank you.
Your computer doesn’t meet the requirements for Yosemite(it doesn’t have a 64-bit EFI), but can be upgraded to Lion.

Hello, Sameh.tolba.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the two articles below when experiencing this issue.
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store

Tried to remove Symantec End Point software by dropping it in the trash and then emptied trash, of course now when I try and install newer version it tells me to uninstall the older version I can not access now. Any solutions?
You usually have to use the program's uninstaller utility for such things as Symantec. Read this:

You may need to install it all over again, just to use its uninstaller. -
my iPhoto will not work with Yosemite, and it says that it was purchased under a different account, but that's not the case. Any ideas why I cannot update iPhoto?
How did you buy iPhoto? Did it come preinstalled on your computer with Lion or later, or did it come with Snowleopard on system installer disks?
Which version of iPhoto?
If you have a version of iPhoto '11 and it is showing on the Purchased tab of the App Store, with your Apple ID, then delete iPhoto from the Applications folder (don't empty the Trash) and download iPhoto again from the Purchased tab.
If that does not work, contact The App Store Support from the Quick Links on the AppStore main page.
Only apple Support can fix problems with apple ID. -
I bought and downloaded a movie to my macair and it showed in my library yesterday. Today however i can not find it. Any idea why that would be? I did buy it and not rent FYI
OK, I think I understand what's happening.
Movies are now stored in iCloud: see http://www.apple.com/itunes/inside-itunes/2012/03/movies-now-available-on-icloud .html
So they may take a while to download to your Mac. Movies are big, after all.
I believe you can guarantee the movie stays on your Mac by going to Preferences (in the iTunes menu at the top), and going to the "Advanced" tab, and checking "Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library".
Hope that helps! -
I have just bought a trackpad.
Appareently you need OS 10.7
My Imac is 10.5.8
Can I upgrade the software?Read the system specifications on the MTP's box, it says:
System Requirements
Bluetooth-enabled Mac computer
Two AA batteries (included)
OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.4 or later
Here are the System Requirements for Snow Leopard, if your system meets or exceeds them then yes you can update your computer. Snow Leopard is still available from Apple's online store for $29.
System Requirements
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.
Some features require Apple's MobileMeservice; fees and terms apply. -
My old 17" MBP (2005) often crashes, freezes or shows grey screen at start up. Also track pad often does not work. I have re fomatted the HD and reinstalled system but to no avail. Genius bar says possible faulty HD, but I suspect logic board. All checks out OK on the Apple Diagnostic bench. Can a Logic board go intermittant?? Any Ideas any body??
Ive repaired 1000s of laptops over the years (translate: diagnose and replace parts).
Its not that old, Ive owned 100s of laptops (most were free) ....some I still have are nearly 13 years old and still perfect, ....some extremely expensive ones died in under a year.
other than becoming obsolete at some point, there isnt really any "will spoil on" data like Milk for solid state computer parts, ....alas.
You can have a $5000 laptop die in 4 months, and a junker one keep kicking after 10 years.... Ive seen that firsthand countless times.
Common logic dictates that "very expensive = long life" in computers,..... but all the repair people will tell you just the opposite.
I know you have a gripe, I get that all too well honestly . -
turned by macbook air on and the screen is white with a question mark flashing and nothing else on the screen. will not boot up.
Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer was running Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier and you reach the third set of steps, insert a Mac OS X install disk or connect the computer's original thumbdrive.

How can i upgrade free without going through Apple app store that ask for a credit card? How do i stop the pop-ups that recently started after downloading a free coupon from the web? How do i get rid of this virus?

Barry: my mac is telling me to upgrade before i can use this software from thesafemac...but i can not without a credit card. Is there a free upgrade for 10.6 without going thru apple store?
Since you're using 10.6, you can't use AdwareMedic, unfortunately. However, you could use the manual removal instructions in my Adware Removal Guide instead. They should help you find everything that AdwareMedic would.
I don't know that I would advise trying to upgrade from 10.6 all the way to 10.10 just to run AdwareMedic. -
Macbook Pro crashes then restarts on opening pdf files namely the Nationwide BS, other pdf's unaffected. I have recently upgraded memory from 4GB to 8GB to see if that helped which it hasn't the version I'm running is OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (15inch early 2011) 2GHz intel core i7 with memory 8GB 1333MHz DDR3
If your MBP has had a kernel panic. log and post it for review.

before i buy the complete creative cloud, how many computers can i install it on with the one subscription? i have a macbook pro laptop and a iMac desktop, which i both need it on.

Yes. Creative Cloud desktop applications can be downloaded and installed on multiple computers, regardless of operating system.

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.
POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap" -
I do not wish Firefox Start Page to automatically load when I turn on my computer. the help I sought gave suggestion(s) for a desktop computer to go to start menu and run a system configuration to deselect Firefox as startup - I have a Macbook Pro laptop and haven't been able to figure out where I can do the same - need assistance please
Look in System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items and remove Firefox from that list.

I have a macbook pro4.1 and the sound chip in it failed. My speakers and microphone no longer work. Does anyone know of an external speaker and microphone set that plugs into the USB port so I can continue to use both of these functions and not have to pay to have the entire main board replaced. Preferably something under $100.
I don't think you're likely to find a set of external speakers that come with a microphone and plug directly into a USB port. There are USB audio cards that look like tiny flash drives but have microphone and headphone ports in them, to which you can connect a typical two-plug Windows PC headset with a microphone, or else you can connect external speakers and a stand-alone microphone. Those adapters typically cost under $10. I don't know anything about the quality of sound that can be expected from them.
I have a Griffin iMic, which is much the same idea but larger, a bit more expensive (retail~$40), and perhaps delivers somewhat better sound quality (I hope so, but I don't know because I've never had occasion to try one of the little ones).
