Hi nino8881
1) It has to be an iMac Mid 2007 or newer. If this is the case ...
2) Make sure you have Lion or the latest version of Snow Leopard. (You can't upgrade from 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion.)
3) If step 1 & 2 are checked, you can download OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store and install it.

I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless network with Airport Express. Everything is fine until I try to select Extend the wireless network. I select Extend Wireless network but have no success. Ideas?

I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless to rooms with a weak signal. The internet connection is fine with the basic setup. As soon as I go into Airport Utility to select Extend Wireless Network and fill in what I believe is proper information, I get an error message that Airport Extreme no longer has an IP address, the internet connection is broken, and under Wireless, that there is a wireless network in existence that can't be found. Rebooting the modem only brings the Airport Extreme back to the starting gate so that the internet is once again available. I assumed (naively) that with the All Mac All-the-Time context, adding Airport Express would truly be Plug and Play. I got the plug, but no play. I asked a Comcast technical specialist about it and he said that I needed to reset the Airport Express settings back to their default, factory status. I looked that process up online and found out that the way to do that was to hold down the reset button, then plug Airport Express into the socket and wait for the green light to flash four times. Then wait 45 seconds and the default settings will return. I did all that, only to find out that after the initial flash of green, green never appeared again. I got a fast flashing yellow light, followed by the light going off. Apparently this didn't reset it properly. So, after hours trying to get this system to work, I appeal to someone who can see through this mess and provide the key to success!

Let's see if I can get this straight.
You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
Correct?

The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.

I have a 500gb running my computer and want to upgrade to a 1000gb how can i do this?

I would like to upgrade my 500 gb to a 1000gb HD which will run my apple Mac pro 2009 Tower.
Iam confident in changing HDs but wondering how to put all the operating software onto a new HD.
Many thanks,
Mac

The way the forums work, WE help solve and is reflected in points.
Glad we helped and hope maybe changed the direction you end up taking with your upgrades.
ce (SSD drive or hard drive) you are migrating to should be physically located in the same computer. Moving operating system files from one computer to another computer using software not specifically designed for that computer can cause issues due to software, hardware, and firmware version mismatches.
Always back up your storage device with Time Machine or Disk Utility before you start.

The old slower SATA II's bandwidth has gotten to be a choke point.
Having all your files on one drive is an even bigger limiting factor.
Isolating system from your media libraries and data, from any scratch drive, helps.
Moving some of those off to another bus, one of the PCIe slots, takes advantage of additional bandwidth available (and probably going to waste currently).
You may have noticed all the newest Macs and future Mac Pro. moving to PCIe SSDs and no longer using even SATA III. Anything you can do now in that regard will help. iPhoto, separate from "Pictures" folder on another high-speed device, or Aperture, and also Lightroom, as well as CS6 scratch space.
That also means you aren't limited to 4 SATA drives or devices, and you should be using those 4 already for system, data, backup, media files.
It does make a difference. It did with my 7 yr old Mac Pro 1,1. that and more RAM, retire older disk drives for newest models, and probably the last GPU mine can make use of , the ATI 5770 (replaced the Nvidia 8800GT that cost even more).

Tough spot if you want Apple only SW, no idea where you can get where you want without some decent 3rd party SW, which as a rule outshines Apple's SW by light years.

1. I have an an hp pavilion, 2003, xp professional, want to upgrade to work faster, How?

hp pavilion dv5000, xp professional, I want to do something to make it faster.
Any suggestions?

Try upgrading your memory that may speed it up for you. Go to www.hp.com/support to get more detailed info on you memory capacity or call 1-800-474-6836. After 5 years the notebook is usually considered obsolete, so you may have to get the memory from an authorized service provider or third party vendor.

What can I do if I have changed my DVD regions 5 times but want to change it again

Sorry, not possible.
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.

It may be possible to make your Matshita Superdrive region-free by the methods describe here:
http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?t=43082
but please note: you USE THE SOFTWARE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!. The operation isn't officially allowed or sanctioned, which you're supposed to know when you do it.
To make any free=standing DVD player region free, go here:

In the meantime you can use VLC to play DVDs from any region.

No discount for anyone. If you can upgrade your hardware to Mavericks, then it will cost you $20 bucks.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
