Can I upgrade from iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5 to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion? or iPhoto '09...

Can I upgrade from iPhot '08 (ver 7.1.5) to iPhoto '11 on my Macbook Pro (OS 10.6.8) without upgrading to Lion or iPhoto '09?

You should only get that message if you are attempting to install the same version of iPhoto that is already on your computer.
Should you upgrade your current version of '08 (7.1.5) to anything higher, including '11 (9.2.1), it will upgrade your current library with all your photos and not create an additional application or library.

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
Problem description:
I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Microsoft Office 2008 crashes when printing since upgrading to Yosemite

Ever since upgrading my Macbook Pro (late 2009) to OS X Yosemite I'm having trouble with Microsoft Office 2008. Whenever I try to print from any of the Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), the program will crash and the file will not print. I am still able to print from other programs (Safari, Preview, etc...). And aside from this I'm having no other issues with the Office programs. So at the moment I'm reducing to having to save files as a PDF and then printing from Preview. Can anyone help me troubleshoot?

I'm not sure if the printer driver is updated, it usually does that automatically...
That sounds magical but I have never had printer drivers automatically update themselves. After your upgrade to Yosemite, did you setup your printer using Print & Scan in System Preferences?
...office programs are the only ones crashing when I try to print, so wouldnt that indicate an Office issue rather than a printer driver issue?
No, not necessarily. See thread "microsoft office crashes when trying to print."
If you believe the your problem is an "Office issue" then you might try the Microsoft forum.

I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it. I can't complete the upgrade because the application is gone. Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem?

I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it. I can't complete the upgrade because the application is removed, but cannot make the auto update prompt go away either. Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks for the tip. Went through the process on Microsoft's site and the files that were causing the issue were the com.microsoft files in Library-Preferences. Removed all of those, then opened an Office 2011 application; had to go through some basic setup questions the first time, but I no longer get prompted upgrade 2008.

Vivushka

You will not lose them and you will not be able to transfer them into iTunes. Your Kindle books are maintained in your Amazon account, not in iTunes. You manage all of your Kindle books with Amazon.com.
However, if you have never synced with iTunes before, you may need to make the iTunes library your syncing library. Have you synced with this computer before?

Upgrading from osx 10.5.8 on an older Intel dual core duo macbook?

I have a 2.4 ghz intel core duo macbook with 2GB of 667 mhz ddr2 sdram. I am running osx 10.5.8. Can I upgrade to a higher os version? If so which can I upgrade to? Do I need to go through any interim steps or can I go directly to the latest osx version? Do I need to buy a disk? Or can I download the upgrade?
Thanks

The model 4,1 Early 2008 MacBook will not be able to run Mountain Lion, but it can run 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. The price is still $29.
It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion requires 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion no longer supports Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

Microsoft Office 2008 SP1 Upgrade Problem

Hi,
I have Office 2008 running perfectly on my computer, and just recently downloaded the two upgrades from the MS website for SP1 12.1.0 and then the latest update for 12.1.3. However, when I install 12.1.0, every time I try to open an MS application, it pops up with the setup assistant, asks me to register, closes, asks to check for updates, and then quits. It won't let any programs run. If I do a fresh install of Office 2008, it works again. The minute I upgrade, it stops.
Any ideas?

I had a problem installing 12.1.3 yesterday and had to completely uninstall MS Office before it would successfully install. I would suggest calling MS Support, they will coach you on the correct way to fully uninstall Office 2008 and then assist on how to install it so the update works. It took me about 40 minutes on the phone yesterday but it was solved. The phone number I used was (866) 474-4882.
Gotta love Microsoft software...not!

Just had to replace iPad so I need to restore from other backup. iTunes has sync error that others say require uninstall and reinstall. "iTunes was unable to load prover data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later." If I uninstall, will I lose

Just had to replace iPad and itunes has following error. "iTunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Servies. Reconnect or try again later." I read that others suggest uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If I do this, will I lose my old iPad's backup that I need to restore to this new one?

I've resolved the issue with iTunes constantly not responding. It's a bit embarrassing. I had a DVD in the drive that was corrupt, and once I was able to remove it - BAM - iTunes ran perfectly.
I'm still getting the Sync Services message, and my backups are still not showing in iTunes.
Getting there.... I hope!

Leopard Upgrade problem for Microsoft Office 2008???

Hi there,
i have a question regarding upgrading my MacBook. I've done some searching
on this forum but couldn't find what i was looking for.
I bought a MacBook in September 2007 which runs Tiger and i would
like to upgrade to Leopard.
I have installed a version of Office 2008 and i only have the 1 licence.
Will the Leopard installation overwrite this licence or will be
be detected and preserved to run on leopard????? I don't want to
lose the use of that licence
Many thanks
Chris

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
First, unless MS has changed their policy, you are allowed two installs of MSOffice - notebook and desktop. At least in the PC world.
Second, even if you do have to reenter the license, since the hardware is unchanged, I do not believe anything will happen.
For example, I am running Vista on this machine via bootcamp. I installed it when I was running Tiger and did not have to reregister it. True, that's not quite the same as your case, but I strongly suspect that you will not even be required to reregister the product, since the license is a user license.
If you do have any issues, I have found MS to be very cooperative with their technical phone assistance, so I would add not to be concerned.
Just be sure you either use the default install or Archive and Install so you do not have to reinstall Office.

Is it possible to upgrade from Lion 10.7.5 straight to the latest Yosemite in one go?

My daughter has a MacBook Pro early 2011 13 inch model.
Can an she upgrade straight from Lion to Yosemite?
TThanks
sSteve

Yes.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. 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.

Will upgrade from OS X 10.9.5 to OS X Yosemite delete my files or data?

I am using OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 on my Mac-book Pro. I am worried that upgrading to OS X Yosemite 10.10 may remove my data files. Do I need to secure my data first or continue upgrading without worrying?

You need to back the data up. While the upgrade itself normally won't delete your data, a problem may occur, and other things can.

If I upgrade from OS X 10.6.8 to OS X Yosemite on my Macbook will I lose Microsoft Office 2008?
