Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.

you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X. Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems. The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6. Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

i have mac version 10.5.8 how do i update to newer version

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

If I no longer have access to my original e-mail associated with my account and my passwords and e-mail accounts associated with my Apple device, how can I fix this solution? I have 2 ipads and 1 iphone and I cannot update any of my apps.

I tried to change the e-mail associated with my apple account because my school was closing and I knew I would no longer have accss to that e-mail account, however now all 3 of my devices ( 2 ipads & 1 iphone are screwed up as far as the e-mail accounts associated with each device and the passwords. I have tried all the on-line support/suggestions and took my devices to a local Apple store and no one/nothing helps.
Does anyone have a solution? I can purchase new apps but I cannot update any of the apps I have to any of my devices.

Unfortunately, it says I can't delete anything without the missing password.

My mac is telling me i have no software updates available, but i do! i don't have the most recent ios software and i cannot update itunes or sync my recently updated iphone without it. help!

i am currently on the osx 5.8 operating system. I just downloaded the new iphone 5 software and cannot sync it with my itunes on this computer because it doesn't have the most current version of itunes which i discovered i cannot download without an iosx oeprating system. I have run software update 10 times, started and restarted the computer and the program. help! what do i need to do to switch over to the ios-x operating system....or whatever the most current version is called. if i have to pay for it, that's fine. i have just been routed and rerouted through the apple store trying to figure it out. can someone help me please!

Hello,
There are two different things here, an OS update and a software update.
Mac OS X 10.5 is the version of OS while the .8 at the end is the software update (release patches)
The most current software update for Mac OS X 10.5 is 10.5.8
No more software updates available. You would need to upgrade the OS, which would be to Mac OS X 10.6
Your new iPhone 5 would require iTunes 10.6 which is only available for OS X version 10.6.8 or later.
Your would therefore need to upgrade your Macbook to this version of OS.
It maybe brought on DVD via Apple directly (Contact Apple ) or using any good online vendor like Amazon.
Best of luck

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and my software update won't work

I click software update and it checks if I have an update and it says I do. Then, I click "install and restart" then these multiple screens pop up asking if I want to install these certain updates and I click install for each one. Then my computer starts to restart and my screen never turns black, it turns to blue then my log in screen comes up. I log in and then that's that. nothing installs and then when I check for a software update again, the same thing pops up. HELP!

Have you updated your OS to include the 10.6.8 Combo update along with the software updates since.
You may need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with a software update to pick up any later changes..

I have mac book pro - OSX 10.6.8. Should i upgrade to Mountain Lion?

I've never changed operating systems for my Mac Book. Is it a good idea? Why or why not?

What model of MB do you have? Why do you want to upgrade?
Before upgrading consider:
Don't upgrade if you are in the midst of important work. Wait until you have finished.
If you are having problems with your computer get them sorted out before you upgrade.
Verify that any mission critical software will be compatible with the upgrade.

My Power Mac G4 Graphite works well but I cannot update it as I do not have the Mac OS Jaguar nor do I know the administrator's password. Anyway to get over this?

I would have like to buy more ram memory as there is only one 256 Mo SDRAM in it but if I cannot get around the password hurdle, it's not going to be worth.
Can I buy an old Mac Os Jaguar somewhere?

Hello Serge, I think this works on 10.2.x also...

I have Mac OSX Version 10.9.4 - I cannot find an imoive tutorial.

When I go to Help and type in iMovie tutorial I am able to find that, but am "thrown" out of the program when I tap "continue". Are there any tutorials for iMoive? There are several changes in the program from the OSX Lion version 10.6.8. Has anyone else experienced difficulties with this?
Thanks
