If you are upgrading to Yosemite, I'd add as much RAM as the computer will operate on. OWC has tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum.

  • My goal is to backup my pictures and movies and then delete them from my computer to open up more space. What's the best way to do this?

    Let's say I let time machine backup my computer, then I delete most of my pictures (that are now backed up) to make room on my laptop's hard drive. The next time Time Machine backs up my computer will it overwrite the old backup with what it currently sees on my computer? Will it loose all of those pictures, because they're no longer on my laptop?

    Yes eventually or sooner by large changes to your boot drive.

  • HT4480 I put my itunes dollars into itunes and am trying to use it to buy lion on my PC and I cant get it to work.  I guess I did it wrong, is there a way to get this money to use for the lion app?

    Hi, I put my itunes dollars into itunes thinking I could use it to buy the Lion App and when I went to down load it asked for the money then.  Is there a way to take the money from my itunes account?

    Hi..
    "put my itunes dollars" ...  did you redeem an iTunes gift card? I see you used the link about redeming a code.
    Three ways to purchase Lion
    One if from redeeming an iTunes gift card. Two, setting up a credit or debit card account with iTunes associated with your Apple ID, or purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store (U.S.)
    If you redeemed an iTunes gift card, make sure there is enough funds available. You need to take into account when you purchase apps including Lion, there may be applicable taxes or fees added the original purchase price.

  • HT3204 My iTunes cannot find my wireless network and I get erros saying I am not connected to a network.  What is the best way to resove this issue?

    Getting error message:  iTunes couldnot connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (0x80092013)  Make sure your network connection is active and try again.  Obviously my network is active, or I would not be able use my internet connection to enter this community.  I have a Telus TwoWire Wireless modem.  I used the iTunes for Windows:  Network Connectivity Tests and found that it was finding my adaptors, but could not connect to my Wireless network.  can someone provide a method for iTunes to recognize my wireless network.  I can find lots of info on connecting to a WiFi iDevice, but nothing so far about setting up iTunes with my wireless info.  iTunes does not have seek network function in the settings, or at least I cannot find one.
    Thank you.

  • I have samsung corby gts3653 mobile and need to connect internet to mac through it but it doesn't have wifi and pcsuite for mac and how could i able to connect it through gprs? GPRS is active in mobile but unable to link it with macbook pro(using lion os)

    i have samsung corby gts3653 mobile and need to connect internet to mac through it but it doesn't have wifi and pcsuite for mac and how could i able to connect it, through gprs? GPRS is active in mobile but unable to link it with macbook pro(using lion os) can any one reply.

    Until the MacBook Air was released and supported in 10.5, the Mac did not consider USB to be a valid Networking Protocol. So set the Mac with USB solutions aside.
    To connect computer-to-computer, you typically need to be using an Ethernet crossover cable. Assigning the same address to two Ethernet devices is never the solution -- it gives a Network Conflict, just as you said.
    If your Windows box has some mechanism for Sharing its WiFi connection over Ethernet, you would have to follow its rules. Whether that means Manually assigning an Ethernet Address in the same range or the PC will provide the Address, I do not know.
    Best success may be running an Ethernet cable to your Wired/Wireless Base Station, or using a "gaming adapter" (Ethernet-to-Wireless no drivers required) connected to the Mac's Ethernet port to give it WiFi access. What is your Base Station {Cable, DSL, FIOS, Other} ? Ethernet cables can be up to 100 meters (an American Football Field). Often the Base Station can be moved closer for more convenience.

  • I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard?

    I have Lion as my current and main OS. Is it possible to partition part of my hard drive for Snow Leopard? I'm good on partitioning but when I insert the Snow Leopard install disk a message tells me I can't run the install program because I currently have Lion installed... obviously. Have I gone about this the wrong way? Do I need to boot the computer using the Snow Leopard install disk instead of my main HD?

    Apple will never update that as for the most part it is true, and the fact that they really don't want you to run older OS X versions (for whatever reason).
    Now this probably won't work with the next line of MBPs and MBAs that come out. But it is for the current builds.
    But as I stated you need one of the lastest builds of SL for it to even boot the system.
    It won't work with the retail 10.6.3 DVD disc. That version does not have the correct drivers for the newest Mac's.

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

    I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else? Thanks, Rose

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there. 

  • Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

    Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?
    If not, what is the alternative?
    Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
    Many thanks

    It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
    On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
    A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

  • I have a Mac book pro on vesion 10.6.8 and want to access icloud as it works great on my iphone 4.  Not sure best way to upgrade as some of the review of Lion on the appstore are awful.  Any advice

    I have a Mac book pro on vesion 10.6.8 and want to access icloud as it works great on my iphone 4.  Not sure best way to upgrade as some of the review of Lion on the appstore are awful.  Any advice as I also have MIcrosoft word etc and don't want to have to purchase these again.

    That is the best list ever for Lion compatibility!
    You can also do this:
    Launch the programs you know and love on your Snow Leopard Mac.
    Utilities --> Activity Monitor
    Under the "Kind" tab it will identify the programs running PowerPC, Intel and Intel 64.
    No PowerPC apps will run under Lion.
    Don't worry about Apple's system stuff like Mail, iCal, Safari.
    Don't worry about the system processes, like fontd and launchd, those will be replaced if you go to Lion.
    Just look for the programs that you need.

  • HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.

    I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S).  I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone.  But not sure how to do that.  When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does.  When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

  • How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and  need to update my Apple ID.

    How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and  need to update my Apple. Frustrated!!

    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
