I have a Toshiba laptop currently on windows 7 and i was wondering can i upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8)? Because i saw it was only 20 in the mac store if i can actually upgrade to it then i would buy it but if its only mac compatable why the heck would i buy it. i am very mad at microsoft right now and i am tired of thewindows operating system's.

lol i would LOVE to get one but i dont have the money. I think if apple made a osx lion for non mac computers they would make a LOT more customers but charged like 100-300 dollors since you wouldnt have to buy a mac

    When I tried, it said I had to have 10.6 or later............how do I get there?

    No. You need to phone the online Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD.

    If you are eligible for a new copy of the Teacher and Student edition, that is the way to go. It is generally cheaper to get new teacher/student versions than upgrade to a commercial version. However, with the Creative Cloud now available, I do not know if the CS 6 teacher/student versions are still available.

    I have a white macbook purchased early 2008. I'm updated to ver. 10.6.8 can I upgrade to the new mountain lion and will it operate?

    It doesn't appear to be Mountain Lion compatible. See below.
    Your Mac must be one of the following models:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

  • I just had to have my toshiba laptop hard drive replaced and I am unable to move my itunes library from my ipad back to the laptop.  It says it is linked to another library  and I can only transfer purchased music etc and not the rest of the library.Help!

    I have just had my Toshiba laptop hard drive replaced. This has resulted in all previous content held on the laptop to be lost.   I wanted to try and transfer my music library from my ipad to the laptop, but it will not allow me to do so.  The message is that the ipad is linked to another computer and it will only allow the transfer of the items purchased on through the ipad and nothing else.  Does anyone know if the full library can be transferred back to the computer?

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • I have an iMac Intel  2 Duo with Mac 0SX Snow Leopard downloaded.  Can I upgrade to the new mountain lion

    I have an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OSX Snow Leopard installed.  Would it be ok to download the new Mountain Lion?

    Your iMac needs to be a mid-2007 or newer model. See this page for specs supported, and assuming you meet them, you can upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion (see step 2 on the linked page).

  • I have a 2007 macbook.  Can i upgrade to os x Mountain Lion?

    I have a 2007 macbook.  Can I upgrade my Mac OS X Leopard (Version 10.5) to OS X Mountain Lion?  If not, what the newest software I can update to?

    First we need to know which one of the 9 different models of MacBook you have. 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 (and then System Report if you’re running 10.7 Lion). When System Profiler comes up check the Model Identifier and post it back here.
    The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard.
    The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    You can upgrade from 10.5  to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6.
    See this list for third party programs compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications   http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    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.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • I have a Toshiba laptop running Win 7 and the latest version of Itunes.  I downloaded an update for my laptop last night, and everything seemed fine until this morning.

    I didn't really care about not connecting to the Apple store, I wasn't buying anything, but now it does not recognize my Ipad, Iphone or Ipod to sync wirelessly.  I had to go to work, didn't feel like dealing with it, but I'm thinking the update might have done something.  I know this is not a Windows forum, but the last time, it managed to disable me from the internet (Mcafee was blocking everything).  I am thinking this is along those lines.  Do you think it would help to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall it?  That or i just try again tonight, sometimes things have a way of working themselves out.  The other thing is that I was not able to download any new podcasts today. Thanks for any help!

    I just realized that part of my post got cut off.  There was a message that i could not connect to the Apple store (and my genius stopped running). 

  • I have lost a 4th Generation iPod Touch and i was wondering how apple can help me find it.I all ready putthe find my Phone it but who ever has it didn't put it on the internet,on it

    How can i Contact apple to find my iPod touch?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • I have a old third generation I pod and I was wondering how to fix it

    I have a old third generation Ipod (very old) Its in good condition but internally I don't know what's wrong with it. I need help finding a way to send it off to get fixed. Any suggestions?

    A 3rd gen iPod has a touch (not click) wheel, and four separate touch buttons that glow orange.  Is that the iPod model you have?
    There are businesses that fix iPod, and some may be local to you.  A Google search on "ipod repair" and your city should give you some links.  An Apple Store may not service your older model.
    If you want to try fixing it yourself, the 3rd gen iPod is fairly easy to work with, because the parts are still relatively large with reasonably sized connectors.  The trickiest step (the first time) is prying the case open.  This web site has repair guides.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
    If the problem is something simple, like a dead battery, they are available for a low cost on eBay (and elsewhere online), and usually come with the plastic (nylon) pry tools.
    NOTE:  If you have a 3rd gen iPod, as described above, it needs to have a FireWire connection, with a FireWire docking cable.  It will not charge over USB, even though it has a dock connector that fits the USB docking cable. If you are connecting it to a USB port, and that's why it is not working, perhaps it is not actually broken.

    Hey felieca,
    See this support document for other possible places you could locate the iPod's serial numbers.  If no luck there, I'm afraid you're out of luck. Sorry.
