I have IOS5 - what's best about a Lion upgrade to iCloud
i've got IOS5 on my iPhone 4 and I'm looking to upgrade to Lion.
Can anyone give me a heads up on what I gain or what they like?
Also, is Reminders worth putting time in to learn it? I'm really not happy with Notes because I use IMAP email outside of Mail - and i tried Things but it was too tweaky for me. Now I'm checking out Together but I don't think there is an iPhone app for it.
Also, I know there is no iDisk (which I am not using anyway) but is the sync much better - or is antyhing much better with iCloud?
Thanks
A couple of things to try.
Double tap your Home button and you will see a string of icons at the bottom of the screen. These are apps that you have recently used. Hold your finger on one of them until you see a small minus sign against each one. Go to each icon and touch it - they will disappear. When all icons are gone - touch the home button again.
Now try your e-mail again.
If that didn't work then delete your e-mail account from the phone and then re-add it. See if that fixes it.

Have I received poor advice about osx lion upgrade?
I have a 2011 13" MBP, Intel Core i5, 4GB ram model (Purchased new from an Apple store in April 2011).
I have asked an Apple store assistant if I will be able to upgrade to the forthcoming Lion osx but was told the 13" MBP with i5 processor would probably struggle to run Lion, but the i7 processor would be ok as would all the 15" MBP.
Have I been poorly advised or will my 3 month old MBP actually run Lion ok (I hope so)
Thanks in advance for any answers!Clacks wrote:

I think you've been poorly advised. Apple states in their documentation: Your Mac must have an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor to run Lion
Notice there are two processor families on the list slower than yours. You're smack in the middle of the sweet spot.
The proof won't come until general release and someone has load that machine, however I wouldn't worry about it. I think your machine will be just fine.

A few months ago I purchased Snow Leopard, but realized too late that I already had Snow Leapord. What I need is Snow Lion upgrade. I did not open the software. Will they refund refund this or exchange it for the Snow Lion upgrade? Thanks!
All Updates to Snow Leopard are gotten from Software Update or from the Apple download site.
There is no Snow "LION". there is Lion and now Mountain Lion buit both of those are Download Only from the Mac App Store. You need to have Snow Leopard 10.6.6, .7 or .8 to have the Mac Apple store link on your Mac.
To get Lion you need to call the Apple Store, 1-800-MYAPPLE, and order it. They will send you a download code to your Apple ID Email address so you can download it from the Mac Appl Store.
Oh and when you call them to order Lion ask about returning Snow Leopard. -
just bought a macbook air upgrading from old macbook with Tiger software; what is best way to take photos from old backbook to icloud so I can see them or download on the new air; Have an external harddrive backup. photo library is too large to transfer directly.thanks.
Memory size has nothing to do with it. I can open my 60GB iPhoto library with only 8GB RAM. Perhaps you have an incompatible version of iPhoto under Tiger with iPhoto under ML.
As to downloading different photos from iCloud, you would do the same if you ...
* open iPhoto under Tiger
* dump the photos individually in to a folder on your external hard drive
* shut down everything on the old MacBook
* connect the external hard drive to new MacBook
* open iPhoto on new MacBook
* import the photos in the folder on the external hard drive directly in to the new iPhoto
IOW, you need not use iCloud (even if you could, which you cannot) to swap photos as you propose.
If you are at a loss for space on your external hard drive for whatever reason (perhaps that external hard drive is a full Time Machine partition), I recommend that you buy another external hard drive just for your photos.

Earlier today tried to purchase CCSuite and I clicked on to the button or box for former users of Adobe software. $29.99 a month is the plan. Clicked join and
clicked onto download software. I got an Acrobat workspace with icons I don’t understand. Also a informative warning that all files will be deleted on jan such 2015. I thought I had purchased a 1 year program
I have not seen any progress bar indicating software being
downloaded or any download progress bar. I don’t know how to proceed.Please inbox the Email ID & the CC order number in order to check & investigate.
Do send the information in private.

What is best reccomended for my upgrade?
Hi all,
I have just got my first mac off a friend. It is a Dual 1.8ghz PowerPC G5 System.
It currently has 4 sticks of DDR SDRAM and a GeForce FX5200 gfx card.
As I am kind of new to upgrading macs, can anyone suggest to me what I should upgrade this system to having?
Can I put DDR2 RAM into this system? Does the RAM on this system only go upto 4GB max?
What graphics card would be best for this system in order for me to do some video editing and grpahics work?
What airport card should I get? Does it have one already in there as there is a port to attach an antenna on the back of the machine?
What version of OSX can I go upto with this machine? its currently on 10.4, I'm guessing snow leopard wont work but would 10.5.8?
Many Thanks!Hi tetrasync, and a warm welcome to Macdom & the forums!
Can I put DDR2 RAM into this system?
Nope.
Does the RAM on this system only go upto 4GB max?
Yep.
What graphics card would be best for this system in order for me to do some video editing and graphics work?

What airport card should I get? Does it have one already in there as there is a port to attach an antenna on the back of the machine?
It may or may not have one, At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Hardware, click on the little disclosure triangle beside it, highlight Airport, what does it say?
If it turns out not to have one, something like these might be a better/cheaper option...

Best Strategy?: Lion Upgrade, keeping SnowLeopard as well
Intent:
I want to upgrade an older iMac (Intel) to Lion
I am running SnowLeopard.
I want to keep Snow Leopard for some apps. (Too many very expensive apps that may have issues on Lion).
Question: What's my best strategy to upgrade to Lion while keeping SnowLeopard on one iMac?
I've done this in the past, but am out of touch with best current practice.
I doubt its changed, but it never hurts to ask!
I'd wait for Mountain Lion, but I believe that won't be available until after MobileMe goes away. Don't know how it will run on a 2GHz Core 2 Duo.
I have limited room available on my iMac, in the past I'd run on a tower, but that's not the case today.
This is really about adding iCloud to MobileMe.
The iPad 3 has another acct - I don't want to lose the email addresses, etc which are part of MobileMe
& I don't think I can justify purch of a new machine before the changeover.
Sorry, if that's a bit of a complicated scenario. This could actually fit with MobileMe forum...Thanks much. Sounds like the same situation as always - partition.
I have 2 partitions now, one as an NTFS partition to run Windows when I must, as a hard boot.
That one, I think requires reformatting the entire drive, but I should be able to slide another one
out of the current Snow Leopard partition as its HFS+, I think.
Or else have to clone it to an external drive before repartitioning... (not my favorite option).
My problem is that space issue.
I'm on an iMac as my main machine these days. -
I cannot update apps because i do not have iOS what should i do?
I cannot update apps because i do not have iOS what should i do?
You are confusing iCloud storage (the storage plan you purchased) with the space on your iPhone. To update over the air you need space on your iPhone. The 13Gb are available storage space in iCloud. The available space on your iPhone is shown in settings, general, usage.
As modular says, the solution is to update by connecting your iPhone to the computer you normally sync with. -
I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck -
I purchased a used 2008 iMac. And although the previous owner said he deleted all of his information, his iCloud account is still the primary. I don't have a clue about what to do about it. I signed him out and logged in with my info, but still no go. Is there any way to eliminate his iCloud account and make mine the primary without rebooting it back to factory settings? There was an update, I believe, that I couldn't install because i didn't have his password that is what made me aware that his acct. was still active. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like. -

i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?
The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
* which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
This might help
For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic... -

Whats the best way to go about learning C?
I'm an almost complete noob when it comes to programming. I did write a few simple pascal programs about 10 years ago at school, thats about it.
What I hope to achieve is (hopefully) not that complex, but I'm not sure where to start learning. My reason for wanting to learn is this: I really love MOC (music on console) but I ended up wanting a GUI player which still worked without the mouse. Every one I tried just isnt a patch on MOC, IMO, or just has one or other feature that doesnt work without a mouse. So it occurred to me, I have the source code for all these GUI players and the source for MOC, perhaps I can "modify" MOC and create a GUI version, or alternatively write some kind of front end to MOC.
So far, I have had a go with Glade and Anjuta IDE, but my knowledge of C being almost nonexistent is making things tough. I'm probably trying to do it wrong anyway, my thought was to create a GUI in glade and make it call functions from the moc source... :?:
So I need a crash course in C programming with Glade (I think?) and I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is.
Any tips on how best to learn? I ask here because you all seem to be the most knowledgable group I can think ofI'm not trying to discourage you, but the idea of Frankensteining all that C source into your own custom GUI music player is likely to cause nothing but hours of frustration. C is a great language for system programming, but for most application software it's far too low level and for most beginners it's far too dangerous (it lets you do bad things that can kill your app in dozens of intersting and extremely hard to debug ways).
What I would suggest is that you first off break the problem in half. Use a client/server approach. The server does all the low-level heavy lifting of decoding/decompressing the music files and sending them to your audio subsystem. Something like Music Player Daemon (MPD) is perfect for the server part and is specifically designed to be controlled by a separate client program.
Then all you have to do is write the GUI client of your dreams. For that I would recommend something like Python plus the GUI library of your choosing (Qt, GTK, wxWidgets, etc. all have nice Python bindings). Python is a far easier beginner language than C and can do much more work with much less code. You'll spend less time mucking around looking for memory leaks and invalid pointer references and more time actually making your GUI do useful work Oh, and there just happens to be a Python MPD client library so the task of communicating with the server gets even easier.
