Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Call Apple to buy Snow Leopard. Make a backup, insert the disc and upgrade. Finally, open  > Software Update and install the latest version. Open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. See if your programs are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

  • 4/30/2011.  Can you please help me.  I have an iBook G4 with Leopard OS 10.5. Yet how do I correct Website movies going flow-pause-flow-pause-flow etc?  Chuck Y Chicago

    4/30/2011.  Can you please help me.  I have an iBook G4 with Leopard OS 10.5 and latest Safari updates and maximum Ram (512 or 640 kb).  Yet how do I correct Website movies going flow-pause-flow-pause-flow etc?  The problem is with the iBook, not the website and movies.  Thank you.  Chuck Y Chicago

    5/2/2011.  Thank you all for your replies.  My iBook is in the third group of the website you referred me to.  I bought it July 5, 2004 at CDW near here.  It had OS 10.3.6.  1GB (GHz.  Power PC G4.), opaque white case. Its screen is 14.1 inches.  Soon after I bought it I had its 128 RAM raised to 640 RAM, to work with maximum capability for converting VCR recorded videos/movie into digital files and burning these onto DVDs.  Later I had an Airport card installed.  As time passed I opened the apple icon (upper left hand corner of the screen), and Softwate Update, and eventually had this install OS 10.5.8.  At first It could only be updated to OS 10.4.  But then after several years I bought Leopard OS 10.5.8 from the Apple store near here.  By then Leopard had been adapted to work on iBook G4.  Its specifications are described with the same Apple icon and About this Mac. 
    It will play You Tube and similar websites OK.  But videos/movies from websites such as hulu.com, ABC, CBS and so on, it displays a pattern of flow-pause-flow-pause-flow-pause-flow and so on.
    I thought first to see if this forum would have any suggestions.
    I think probably that its CPU has reached its limit; later Mac laptops have greater CPUs.
    Many thanks to you all.   C Yopst   Chicago

    Your profile shows you are running Snow Leopard. Put the Safari version you now have into the Trash. You need to reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

    Also can I use iMac OS install disks on a MacBookPro?

    You will have to buy Snow Leopard:
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order. You also should find it at your local Apple retailers.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes.  Either works well.  If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
    The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching. 
    Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

  • I have a iPhone 4S with a cracked screen and I believe it needs a SIM card. My question is how much would it be the cheapest way to repair it completely?

    I have a iPhone 4S with a cracked screen and I believe it needs a SIM card. My question is what would be the cheapest way to repair it completely?

    I would replace it out of warantee for the 200. but if you really need to save a few bucks
    iphone repair store (craked glass) - $150
    new sim card (if charged for one) - $20
    but getting another one for 200 (through insurance) will give you a year warantee
    no insurance, no $200 option

  • I have an iPhone 4S with Sprint, I had to replace my last phone after the newest update killed my wifi button. Now my new phone won't get 3G at all. I have tried turning my phone off/on, resetting my networks, and turning airplane mode off and on.

    I have an iPhone 4S with sprint. I had to replace my phone after the new update killed my wifi button and wouldn't let me turn my phone off. Since I've had my new phone, I haven't been getting 3G. I have tried resetting my networks, Turing airplane mode off/on and restarting my phone. Nothing seems to work. Any info on what I should do next would be great.

    If you have set this phone up, then there would not necessarily be a solution here until you have been verify with the provider that everything is provisioned correctly on their end. Since the 3G comes from your cellular provider, if the settings are correct on the phone, then you should work with the carrier next.

    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

  • I have a Mac BookPro 0S X 10.6.8 what do I need to upgrade

    I have a Mac BookPro 0S X 10.6.8 what do I need to do so Im ready for when the new Mountain Lion comes out this summer? Do I need lion first if so what one?   I have always used a PC so if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it..

    Far as anyone knows, some 64 bit Mac's will be excluded as not having enough graphics muscle to handle Mountain Lion.
    http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2012/02/whats-keeping-mountain-lion-off-of-som e-64-bit-macs.ars
    If your on 10.6.8, my advice is to stay there, you have the maximum range of available software for that OS X version and all third party hardware, games and utilites etc., are still working fine for that OS version.
    Right now some developers are transgressing to 10.7 Lion, many have started or not going to at all,
    A lot just got blindsided with the 10.8 announcement as Lion has only been out several months.
    You can see right here what I'm talking about, still a mixed bag with 10.7.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Actually you don't need to upgrade to 10.7, if something messes up on your machine your left on your own or have to call in a profe$$ional to rescue you.
    There is no "must have" on Lion 10.7 really for most users to justsify the risk upgrading and many feel the drastic changes are unrealistic, it's just Apple pushing the envelope and changing the OS just for the heck of it to sell new hardware.
    10.6 is the fastest, best OS X version Apple has ever made. Plus third party software is plentiful.
    Until the same conditions exist again, I don't advise buying a new machine or OS upgrade until it does in your case.

  • Updating to Mtn Lion with File Vault 2 running ?

    Will I be able to update to Mtn Lion with File Vault 2 running or will I need to unencrypt ?

    It would make no sense for FV2 to have to be disabled in order to updgrade.
    I disagree. You are doing a major operating system upgrade. That changes all the base OS files, including the file vault files.
    I would think it foolish to do that type of upgrade with File Vault enabled.
    But we will find out as many will do the upgrade with File Vault enabled and if they have problems they will surely post about it.

    Hi marisaz96078795,
    Yes, You would have to purchase the latest version of Acrobat. Acrobat has evolved over the time, and i am sure you will love using our Latest version.
    You can view the feature list page of Acrobat XI Pro and buy it from this Link : Features, PDF documents | Acrobat XI Pro

    Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
    You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
    They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
    You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.
