I have OS Mavericks on my Macbook Pro but just bought HP printer yesterday saying i need Mac OS x10.5 or 10.6 only. HELP

Need to know how to updgrade to Mountain Lion or Leopard from Mavericks.

Check this list to find out if your printer is on it:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
Any not listed, will have to come from the vendor directly.
Apple provides updates to the printers on the HP link
for the HP printers listed on the first link. Check obviously that HP's own 10.9 drivers for your particular printer are not newer than HP's link from Apple.
If HP does not have drivers for your operating system, open source may be a solution*:

I have 8 gb on my macbook pro, but it sometimes only recognizes 4 gb. Whats going on?

I have 8 gb on my macbook pro, but it sometimes only recognizes one of the banks and thus only 4 gb. I was about to open my Macbook Pro mid 2010 2.66 up but it went back up to 8 gb of ram.
I also noticed that the macbook would go to sleep and not wake up again, sometimes. Not sure if this is related.
I did the usual, resetting the PRAM and the other thing with "shift control option." It didn't work and kept on saying 4 gb.
I woke up this morning ready to break open the mac when it read 8 gb. Great! But the **** is going on. Is that memory slot loose?
My google search and search through these forums were useless, no solutions. One guy tried changing his memory into the two banks, no difference. Sometimes it recognizes bank 1 sometimes it doesn't. Another put his ram in another computer, it's not the ram. Someone suggested the motherboard, then someone said "no way" for some arcane reason.
The only solution that seamed viable was going back to snow leopard, the last great OS. Im on mountain lion, not to shabby, but no leopard.
Problem is that I am out of warranty.
Any suggestion would be helpful.

why don't you try this:
open the back of your Macbook - if you're technically capable...
take the ram out, clean it up with a pencil eraser - blow it out - put them back in, slowly and in a slight angle until they lock into place - make sure they are seated correctly...
restart your macbook - if the same bank is still not detecting - then the issue is your RAM slot...
good luck

I have windows 7 on my macbook pro but i want OS X how do I install it?

Reformat disk drive to HFS+
Then use the appropriate DVD to install OS X on your Mac
The reformat will erase everything off of the disk drive so backup first everything that you want to save

I had thought MS had fixed this, but may not have.

I have a early 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge

I have a late 2008 Macbook pro and just bought a new battery, but it is not holding a charge. I read it may be the charger,
that sometimes is blank, but it does charge my computer.
Anything I can try?
I have updated to 10.9.2

Bring it back to the Apple store with your MBP and charger. If the battery is found to be defective, they should provide you with a replacement (assuming you are in the warranty period).
Ciao.

Both units have current updated systems and apps. Using same apple ID. Calendar and contacts work fine between both machines.

Do you have any secondary accounts set up in mail, contacts and calendars.

Hello sallay Amir,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you would like to erase your MacBook Pro and install a new copy of OS X, but the Mac does not boot to OS X Recovery when you hold the Command + R keys during startup.
If your Mac came with OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) or earlier, I recommend referring to the steps in this article:
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install - Apple Support
For a newer Mac (OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite), try reinstalling OS X by using Internet Recovery, as described in the "OS X Internet Recovery" section on this page:
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy

A question regarding a macbook pro i just bought

Hey, i have an imac 27'' that i use as my desktop computer (mainly for logic studio only), but i just bought a laptop so that i can produce music on the go, i purchased it second hand as my budget wasnt the biggest (15inch 2009 - i know its quite old but i properly checked it out before i bought it!)
The problem i have is my imac is on lion but this macbook pro is on mountain lion, due to a lot of the software i have not having updates for mountain lion yet i want to downgrade my macbook pro to lion only, i have done a lot of research and it seems i should do the follow (please correct me if i am wrong)
What i am doing now :
Backing up via time machine to a third party USB external hard drive
Then i plan to restore the macbook to its original settings - however - does anybody know the best way to do this so that it will take mountain lion off? When i try to install lion at the moment i get the error message that it cannot be completed because a newer version is installed?
I then plan to re load my time machine back up on to the mac book pro as the guy left some cool software on it for me (microsoft office, final cut etc.) - however i am wondering if this would interfere with my lion install and would it replace it with mountain lion?
Any advice would be greatly apprecaited! I know i have gone around the blocks with the question but my main thing is i want to take mountain lion off this computer, put lion on but not lose this software that the guy has left on for me
Thank you very much
Lockerz

Yeah he did. I have 2 disks, one says 15 inch macbook pro applications install DVD and the other says 15 inch macbook pro Mac OSX Install DVD however i put the osx install dvd in first and it just sat in the cd drive made a few noises as if it was turning around and ejected after a minute or 2
however i know the cd drive is working because i tested it out with cd/ dvd when i went to the guys house
do you have any clues on this maybe it can save me some time?
Thanks again

My macbook pro has just stopped recognising my SD card, why and how can i fix it? please help

My macbook pro has just stopped reading my SD card,
can you help

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010 that don't have an SD card slot. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

Connect your iPod touch to your computer and launch iTunes. You'll most likely be prompted to update to the latest version of iOS. If not, click the "update" button. For more information and full details, see the section titled "Update your device using iTunes" in this support article:

Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

I bought the wrong version as I need it for macbook pro but somehow bought windows...help

I guess I will have to wait until normal office hours. I have no idea why it bought the window version as I did not realize that is what was selected. I hope I can get it exchanged for the photoshop elements 13 for macbook pro retina display. Anyone know if this is an easy switch and one they will do?

When buying HD versions of shows, only the HD copy will automatically download now (probably due to requests from people who don't need/want the SD version and complained about it being forced on them). The SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes, though. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select TV shows. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the shows and be able to download them.

I show that I have downloaded Firefox on my MacBook Pro but don't see an icon to add to my Dock. What do I do?

How do I find it? It isn't in my Application's.

Hi!
This article ([[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]]) explains how to set up your Sync account in several devices.
From what I can understand in your questions, you are missing the Part 3: your laptop is fully synched but your desktop is not. Once you configure it, the synching should be fairly quick and all the data from both computers will be merged. If it takes longer than expected, you could force it by clicking on the "Sync Now" button that appears in the Firefox button (Tools category in Win XP and Mac OS X) once the device is properly configured.
Let me know if you still have doubts.
