I have a MacPro from 2007 and am wondering if there is any way I can upgrade to Mountain Lion. I get a message that it can't be upgraded even though I have downloaded it.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
What gumsie posted is correct - if it is't compatible, normally it won't download.

I recently bought an iPhone 5s from boost mobile I thought service would be decent but it really *****. I'm wondering if there is any way I can switch carriers maybe to us cellular seeing that they recently added new prepaid plans and have good service in my area. I do know boost operates with sprint but not sure what I can do because having an expensive phone with crappy service really *****
Sorry, but Boost reportedly does not offer unlocking for iPhones, so you're stuck with them unless you can return the iPhone for a refund and cancel the service, or can sell the iPhone to someone who could use it with Boost.

Restore it from a backup, or use these instructions to redownload it through the iCloud.

My email was hacked so I had to make a new one and naturally I changed my iTunes account too. I had previously redeemed a $50 gift card on my own account and was wondering if there was any way in restoring it?
Try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

I recently had a shuffle stolen and wondered if there was any way apple can trace it if someone else tries to sync or use the ipod?
No, manufacturers generally do not track people's stolen property. The shuffle has no means to connect to the Internet so you can't track it yourself. Thankfully it's only $49.

And if there is, is the processor soldered to the board? Or just a click in one. Thank you.Can some also suggest a good place to buy replacement parts for my macbook? I'm from the UK. Thank you.
The processor and several other components are fixed to the logic board;
so there is no upgrade path by parts swapping, and more than just the CPU
would likely require replacement to support any 'upgrade' by soldering iron.
The best upgrade is to look for a clean and good condition later model Mac.
Since I'm in the far northwest North America continent, my reference to any
thing in the UK regarding Macs and parts is outdated. Maybe klaus1 knows?
Other than upgrading the RAM to full supported capacity, and then consider
a solid-state drive, (SSD) upgrade, there isn't much else to do for it. Take
a look into OWC macsales SSD product information online.
Hopefully you can update or upgrade...
Good luck & happy computing!

Ever since i got ios 6 it has been a slower and it says i only have 2 gb left when i have10 app and 0 songs. I got this iPod a few years ago so the warranty has already expired. Please if there is any way I can upgrade let me know.
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. Sometimes when you update and do other things files will be corrupted and make the "other" category large. Restoring from backup usually reduce the other .
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. -
I just want to ask if there is any way i can fix my ipod touch 4G from watar damage and i dont think that a larg amount of water have entered and the ipod isnt working at all and i tried charging it but it didnt work so please help me, and thankyou.
Probably dead if you have tried to charge it.
You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
You should let it dry for a week or so, then try. -
Recently Got a Mac Book and was wondering if there is any software that Apple recommends to import my music/pics/video from my Iphone onto my computer. I no longer have the previous computer and if I sync my Iphone I'll lose everything.
This is the iTunes for Windows forum...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new windows installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup! (Windows tip). For a Mac use Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner.

I have two macs in my house. One is newer and came with the os x mountain lion software and the other one needs to be upgraded. I was wondering if there is a way to take upgrade from one to the other? Should not have to buy this software again.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Buy it for the other computer. Mountain Lion is preinstalled on the new Mac, but you can only use it in the new one -
I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you
Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. -

Over the time I have had my iphone I have downloaded some free applications and have found them boring. I was wondering if there is a way to delete these applications from my itunes purchased category?
No, your purchase history cannot be deleted. Even though free apps did not include a money exchange, they are considered a purchase.

i lost my i phone and i cant find him becouse my child close my icloude on the phone funcction , there is any way i can turn it on from my pc ?thanks
No, sorry. The only way to do anything remotely would be to have the find my iPhone setting active in your iCloud account on the device. If that setting has been disabled, then there is no way to track nor to send commands to the iphone remotely (it would be like trying to turn on a light from a switch that has no wires connecting the switch to the light).
