I just upgraded to a 2.7 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 4GB of RAM and my GarageBand file still says "Too many instruments to play."

The title says it all. I'm using the latest version of GB on Snow Leopard. All tracks are locked. Why can't this new machine handle an 8GB GargeBand session?

You can only upgrade to 10.7 Lion. Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. Or go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion and purchase it there. The price is $19.99.
You will have to be at 10.6.8 first.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. After you’ve installed that then use the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

On each machine turn on iCloud and sync all the available apps. Apple explains how to set up iCloud in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
After doing this run software update on each machine and install all the suggested updates. If you still need help installing the most up-to-date versions of iLife and iWorks open the Mac App Store - click the Purchased tab and update all that need to be updated.

21.5" 2.4 ghz Intel core duo with 4 GB memory iMac w/ OS X 10.5.8

my 2008 21.5" 2.4 ghz Intel core duo with 4 GB memory iMac is running OS X 10.5.8 and has recently started over heating and locking up .... even with applications that it has never had problems with before .... I don't think it's capable of being upgraded any further, right? can I upgrade the graphics card or is that even worth it?

Your tems are fine, nothing at all to worry about. One thing you can do is shut down the computer, remove the RAM plate cover on the bottom and vacuum out the air intake. As for the spinning beach balls that isn't a freeze it means a process is busy. You can run Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and when you begin getting SBBOD look in AM and see if you see any processes using a large %CPU and also click the System Memory tab and look to see how much FREE RAM is available at that point in time. As a general rule of thumb OS X likes to have 500MB or more of FREE RAM, if you see it's at or below 500MB then a RAM upgrade is needed or you need to reduce the amount of open windows. The graphic will look similar to:
Also I'd strongly recommend carefully reading the XLab's Spinning Beach Ball of Death article. It's an excellent guide on how to trouble shoot spinning beach ball issues.

GB09 & iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Whoa!

Monday my old eMac 1 Ghz PPC died. Luckily today the new iMacs came out so I purchased a 24" iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. 1 Terabyte internal.
When I opened GB09 it was so fast my eyebrows singed! OUCH!
Now I don't have to use every trick in the book to keep GB from stopping every 3 seconds!
Apparently the motherboard in my eMac died but the drive is most likely still good. Unfortunately it has all my GB files and synths on it. (I was going to buy a new iMac as soon as it came out and transfer all my files to it but as luck would have it the eMac crapped out one day too soon).
Anyway since this is the forum I use the most I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can get my info off my other drive>
Can I remove it and get some sort of connector and hook it up to my new iMac?
Thanks
P.S.
My usual screen name is WarriorAnt but for some reason my new iMac is using my real name? Go figure.

Matt,
That eMac weighs at least 50 pounds! I already brought it to the Apple store twice in one day. They made me come back with it 4 hours later because I didn't have an appointment. 30 miles trip each way.
I finally got the eMac to respond thru commands from a safe mode start and then repairing the directory with diskwarrior and then again from the install DVD. I have pretty much determined that the RAM is OK and the logic board is functioning. The problem seems to be that the OS on the HD is somehow corrupted and cannot send the right info to the eMac to boot up.
I can boot it from the install disc no problem but I need some sort of bootable system disk like SYS 9 used to be able to get to the drive contents ( I think). I had to send away for a firewire 400 - 800 connector adapter so I can try to make the eMac drive a firewire target for migration to the iMac. The new iMac do not have 400 firewire capability.
If I can't get the info to migrate then I guess I'll have to open the eMac and pull out the drive and do the connector route and see if it will function as an external drive.
And just to relate this part of the thread to GB, well, all my GB .band files are on that drive in that computer! It only had to last one more day! The horror..........
I'm really loving my new iMac though. 5 years of using the old eMac with GB has truly tested my patience.

Software Update will not update 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 2 GB RAM from 10.6.8 to 10.7

Current mac mini (Late 2009), 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM does not detect an update from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Mac OS X 10.7 or Mac OS X 10.8 during run of Software Update.

It’s not supposed to. Download codes for Lion and Mountain Lion can be purchased from the online Apple Store, while Mavericks is available for free from the Mac App Store; you don’t need to go through 10.7 or 10.8 when upgrading.

Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

Yosemite. Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download it from the Mac App Store.

I was to ask the same with my processor. I just upgraded my hard drive to 750GB, and replaced my battery, but I am still getting the spinning beachball.

RAM upgrade for MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

I have a MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo currently with 2 GB of RAM and with all the work I do on it I would like to upgrade to 4 GB. Purchasing the RAM through Apple is out of the question because it so expensive.
I would like to know what is the best brand to buy and on what website.. Is an upgrade to 4 GB possible for my MBP? It looks like I have my "Bank 0/DIMM0" filled with 1 GB DDR2 SDRAM 667 MHz and my "Bank 1/DIMM1" filled with the same thing. Does this mean that both of my RAM slots are full AND if I want to upgrade my RAM I'll have to purchase 2 sets of 2 GB RAM? Please help as I am new to all of the tech stuff...
Another side note... I've noticed that some discussions have stated that some MBP are only upgradable to 3 GB of RAM, but I'm pretty sure that I can upgrade mine to 4 GB of RAM. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Your help is much appreciated...

yes, both of your RAM slots are full, so to get 4GB you will have to get 2 2GB sticks. Having the same model I can safely assure you that it will recognize all 4GB of the new Ram.
as for brands, there have been many I have seen recommended on this board, but one name seems to pop up consistently is Kensington, I picked up my ram from the store I bought my laptop at, so I couldn't recommend a site, sorry

Replacing/Upgrading the 15" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro HDD?

I was wondering if it is possible to replace the 15" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro HDD from a 5400 RPM to a 7200 RPM. I plan on recording using Logic Pro so I will most likely need a faster hard drive. If so, what are some good, compatible hard drives to look into.
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

As asked here perhaps 1000 times a day, and findable
with a simple search you can, but you can void your
warranty if you don't do it right and there is some
work involved. Spare the grief and get an external
drive with a fast 2.5" drive in it and add to your
capacity the entire value vs. the difference.
It is very tiring to see you respond to everyone who asks this question with "get an external drive". I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who want more storage WITHOUT having to tote extra gear around.
Yes external drives are useful, but they don't answer the question asked.
