i would like to know to what software i should upgrade i have a macbook 5,1 10.5.8

Your MacBook5,1 will run the latest OS X version 10.8.5 "Mountain Lion".
If it does not have at least 4 GB memory, upgrade it. Yours can address as much as 8 GB and Mountain Lion will be comfortable with that amount.
You must purchase Snow Leopard on DVD first:
Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Germany: http://store.apple.com/de/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
After you install Snow Leopard use Software Update to update it to its latest version, OS X 10.6.8.
Then, you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work

    I would like to know which app/software in MAC gives us the same feature that is provided by System Restore in Windows, and how does that work.

    Time Machine is one such program, although it is a recursive backup program which offers limited archive capability, based on the capacity of the backup destination, and it requires you set it up before you start editing your files.   Some programs are also Versions aware, which offers a kind of restore capability by file.  Again needs to be setup before you start editing.
    Just a for-your-info:
    Mac is not an acronym, it is a nickname for Macintosh.

  • I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
    When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
    I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • Hello I wrote a technical french book on " iBooks Author" and I would like to Know witch catégorie I should choose?

    hello I wrote a technical french book on " iBooks Author" and I would like to Know witch catégorie I should choose?

    Sorry,  I  cannot remember all teh  many options of category and sub categories offered during the delivery process.
    A very simple solution for you is to use Google Translate to convert the category  titles  to French
    Another option is  to  use the iBooks store -  search for books made with iBooks Author  open a few preview / sample books to look at the information page and check which categories are used the most... and use the same!

    I should keep it simple - if you start getting involved with mixers and multiple microphones you will find the cost escalating  alarmingly. If you can get yourself a decent microphone and spend some time doing tests to find the best way of balancing the voices you should be able to get acceptable results. You can't plug an ordinary microphone directly into a Mac - you would need a mixer or a preamplifier - so it's probably worth looking at USB mics. I don't know what cost range is available, and you would have to check that they would work with your Mac. Otherwise you will need an ordinary moving-coil mic and probably a USB audio converter which can accept a microphone - look at the Roland site.

    What exactly what kind of graphics are you working with?
    What applications are you using.
    Are you working with video style graphics or still images and graphics?
    If video are you working with 720p or 1080p video?
    256 MBs of VRAM should be fine for doing regular still design type  graphics.
    If you ard having issues, please tell us what they are.
    It you have an older iMac, it maybe your CPU could be causing some issues.
    It could be you are not using enough RAM memory to run the graphics applications you are using.
    How full is your hard drive?
    If your hard drive is getting full, this maybe causing your iMac to slow down.
    Your issues maybe more than just GPU related.
    What is the year, screen size, CPU speed and the amount of RAM installed into your iMac?

  • I Would Like To Know........

    I Would Like To Know on the new iTunes version, when you have your iPod conected on the bottom you have Capacity,Audio,Video,Photos,Other,WHAT IS OTHER?? Mine states that there are 129.4 MB Used for Other.Please if anyone can tell me I would apreciate it thanks..:)I gotta feeling its the iPod Software? and all the other stuff that makes it work,like games, calenders,clock,ETC...

  • I have jvc gy-hm100 video cam.I would like to know which format is best for final cut pro?

    My camera has a every size of resoloution. From 1080-60/30 to 720-24.It is totally compatiable with FCP.What i would like to know is what format is recomended for music video's and film production.Any info is greatly apprec!!!! Thank you!
    P.S. Ive been producing music for 15 years.Recording on Logic plat.Mastering and remixing every thing. I love mac!!! Now going into video i want to be just Pro with it as i have been with my music.I purchased the jvc because Mac Recomended it and how it plugs right in. FCP 7 is intense!

    All the available formats are "OK" for FCP7, the more important question is what's good for the movies you want to make?
    In my limited experience, music videos tend to favor 24p for it's "film-like" qualities. The 1080 vs. 720 decision is frequently based on intended use; if you're going to release on the web, 720 is fine and brings much less filesize and overhead to the edit.
    My personal preference is towards high-bandwidth footage like the 35Mbps HQ Mode your camera offers because it behaves so nicely in Color.  Many people advise staying away from interlaced (HDV) footage unless you totally need it for action scenes.
    I think the last 4-5 music videos I've done were all 720p24 and were web released.
    Hope this helps...

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

  • I have a mac osx 10.6.8 and would like to know what free trial version of photoshop would be compatible?

    I would like to know what recommendations people have for poster software?  I have a mac osx 10.6.8 and would like to know if there are any versions of photoshop that would be suitable.
    Any help appreciated.  Thanks.

    I wouldn't use Photoshop to make posters, though of course I'd use it with the photos that are part of the poster. For text work I'd use Illustrator or InDesign as appropriate.

  • My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents

    1: when texting, if I tap e.g. the letter T, occasionally 3 or 4 letters T will follow in rapid succession or when the letter T is highlighted to confirm the letter is correct, it will freeze at that point
    . Also, when scrolling through a message thread to find a particular message, sometimes I have no control over stopping at the wanted message - rapid scrolling right back to the first text occurs & often when I then try again, the reverse happens with rapid scrolling (uncontrollably) through the messages to the last message received.
    2: My iPhone is not backed up due to insufficient storage. I am deleting a number of files but would like to know what 'documents & data' (17.9KB) under 'PREVIEW' is before hitting 'delete'

    You need to talk with the tax authorities in the countries to which you traveled and that of your home country. We are all end-users liek you and not Apple agents.
