IPhone ios 6 using macbook pro osx 10.5
I just recently upgraded from a 3Gs to the new iPhone 5 which has the 6.0 os. I am needing to sync this to the backup of the 3Gs on my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.5.8. I searched this forum and the best option i found was to download iTunes 10.6.3. Well, it did not work as iTunes said i needed to be 10.7 or later. What is the most cost efficient way to update my MacBook OS, as i am currently happy how my macbook is operating and do not want to slow it down with unecessary software. Is the newest mountain lion required or are there other options? Thanks!!!
You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD; the iTunes 10.6.3 method doesn't work with an iPhone 5. This is also a necessary step in getting to 10.8 if you want to at a later point.

How to change your nickname in game centre using macbook pro OSX Yosemite
I want to change my nickname in game centre but don't know where to go so pls if anyone could help me out.
You can change your computer name in System Preferences (found under the Apple menu) in the Sharing pane. At the top of the pane it will say Computer Name: PowerBook G4 15".
Note that the name can contain spaces. Mine, for example, is Ministry of Magic.
Delete the current name and enter the new name. Note that you do not have to click the edit button out to the right. That is only useful if you want to change the bonjour address on your local subnet to be something different from NewComputerName.local (where NewComputerName is the new name you just changed it to.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.
If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.

Why can't i airdrop from my macbook pro (OSX 10.9.5) to my ipad air (IOS 8.0.2)
why can't i airdrop from my macbook pro (OSX 10.9.5) to my ipad air (IOS 8.0.2)
OR
How do I............Wow, that's very disappointing.
I see that you can transfer between two Macs but not, as you say, between older Macs and iOS.
For others, the following is from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop. -

Cannot sync iphone 3G contacts and address book using MacBook Pro. What can i do?
I have an iPhone 3G and a MacBook Pro with latest operating system. Have also set up iCloud on Mac. iPhone is not on IOS5. Within the last day, the contacts disappeard from phone. Tried to sync using itunes, including the option to copy contact content to phone. Also powered off the phone to see if a reset would work.
Does anyone have an idea as to how to copy / sync contacts to phone when the software does not seem interested in doing it automatically?
ThanksTo gain Internet access for the MacBook Pro, you will either need your own Internet service provided by an ISP or access to another Wi-Fi network that has Internet service.
Your MBP has a built-in wireless adapter, called an AirPort Extreme Card. This adapter is able to connect to just about any Wi-Fi network available today.
If you opt to get your own Internet service, most ISPs will provide you as a minimum an Internet modem. Some also offer a wireless version of this device. For those that do not, you will also need an Internet router (wired or combination wired/wireless) in order for your MBP's wireless to connect. -
Can macbook pro osx 10.5.8 use i cloud?
Can my Macbook pro OSX 10.5.8 use ICloud to sync contacts with my I pad2?
Sorry no it can't. Only machines with 10.7 can.
And machines that were issued during 10.5 time will run 10.7 rather slowly or problematically and you can't use your presently installed PPC based software neither.
My advice, since your machine is getting a bit long in the tooth, is to save up for a new 10.8 machine coming out after this summer, ease into it, buy new software and use the 10.5 machine as backup until it dies.
Good Luck -
I want to know how to decrease the quality if a photo. i have a MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.2 system. I used to just copy as and I could change the quality. -Help!
You would do that with Preview.

OSX Lion cannot be installed on used macbook pro
Dear all,
I inherited an old used macbook pro (2009 model) from a colleague. He cleaned it and it was ready to reinstall when I received it. I purchased a new OSX Lion set to install. As the macbook is a present for my daughters birthday, I purchased the software on het apple ID.
When installing (after entering the related apple ID) I get the following message:
This product is currently not available. Try again later.
Can I solve this without having to go to an Apple dealer. My girls birthday is this Friday, and I'd like to have the macbook ready before that date.
Thanks!In order to install Lion (which all 2009 MBPs are capable of) you need to have Snow leopard (10.6.8) installed first. The simplest path is to order this disk from Apple:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Then download the combo update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then the MBP will be ready for a Lion install.
Ciao. -

Hello Bhagyeshree
Check out the articles below to troubleshoot issues with connecting to Wi-Fi. Start with creating a new Network Location and then search for a Wi-Fi network and if that does not work, then go through second article to troubleshoot the issue further.

MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 drops Wi-Fi connection when idle/asleep.
My MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 has begun to lose Wi-Fi connection when idle. I can't re-connect unless I shut down computer and re-start. Worse, the system appears to lock up--I can't force quit, must press the power button to shut down. This problem occurs wherever I am using my laptop, not just with one particular Wi-Fi network.
I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.

I have a music library on an iMac and I got a new iPhone and a new MacBook Pro and I want some of the songs from the iMac library to be on my phone and my MacBook Pro and I have a new Apple ID on my phone and my Mac book pro, is this possible if so how do I do it?
Providing specifics on all the ways to do this will take more time than I am willing to spend here these days. You can do some of this with Home Sharing. You can transfer the entire library from one computer to another, If you do that you can delete what you don't want from the transferred library.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
You do not want to use a new AppleID. Change the AppleID on the new phone to the old ID. Purchases made with one AppleID cannot be transferred to a different one and it will be a royal pain to manage two Apple IDs.
Change iTunes Store account on an iOS device - Log out of your current account with Settings.app > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) > tap on your AppleID. Log in with a different account. Note, turning on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases may tie the device to that account for 90 days - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 https://discussions.apple.com/message/18484935 - "In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account") When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again."
