Is it still possible to upgrade CPU on a G4 400MHz Titanium Powerbook?

I have a Titanium PowerBook G4 model (M7952) with a 17 inch screen, originally purchased in 2001. Over recent years I have successfully upgraded the hard drive to 128GB and the memory to 1GB SDRAM.
However, I have recently purchased Leopard and attempted to upgrade the system without first checking -and subsequently discovering - that my CPU speed is inadequate (currently only 400MHz, wheras required minimum for Leopard is 867MHz).
If anyone can advise me whether it is still possible to upgrade the processor on this particular model to the required specification for running Leopard - my initial searches have appeared to indicate this may not be possible - I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Steve

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Even if it is possible, you won't be improving the system bus of the machine, so there will always be a bottleneck. Also software updates may not perform right, as the system is really only designed for built-in processor 867 Mhz or higher G4s, and not upgraded CPUs. Upgrade CPU support has to come entirely from the CPU vendor that supplies the upgrade for firmware updates, and compatibility. Essentially you will be creating yourself a jalopy. 10.4.11 is the max that will ron a 400 Mhz G4 reliably.

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012? I have not found the option to do so.

My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...). I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource. Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800. Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people. In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza. Not a bad deal. If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months. For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced. I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner. Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications. I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision. If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers. But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time. What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade. NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month. These Germans tend to hold grudges.

Is it possible to upgrade CPU on my Satellite C

Is it possible to upgrade my AMD E1-1200 1.4ghtz processor to anything faster than that,
I want to be able to play FIFA14 apparently it drags on the current processor.
My ram is 6GB and I believe it is enough.

Generally such upgrade is not supported by any notebook manufacturer.
But I read in some threads that some people were able to upgrade the Intel CPUs in own notebooks. But your notebook (what notebook model is it exactly???) seems to be equipped with AMD CPU and I guess the chipset is from AMD too.
In such case only AMD CPU would be compatible with the AMD chipset.
However, even if the AMD chipset would support another CPU, I guess you would get some problems with the BIOS. In many cases the BIOS compatibility could be the main reason why an CPU upgrade would not work.

Is it still possible to upgrade from FCP 6 to FCP 7?

Been using 6 forever. Client brought me a project on 7. Need to upgrade but not sure it's possible with the FCP X train wreck.

Or ask the client to do an xml export (version 4 I think). This should open in fcp6.
If the client's unwilling or unable to do it, If you ask real nice and send me the project file, I'll do the conversion for you. My email is in my profile. Zip the project file before attaching to an email.

Is it still possible to upgrade from cs5 web premium to cs5.5 ?? If so, where and how?

I can't find any reference regarding upgrading from cs5 to cs5.5
My reason is so i can install the DMXzone Bootstrap extension which requires Dreamweaver cs5.5 (11.5)
Can anyone help please?
Many Thanks

CS5.5 is no longer sold by Adobe so you can no longer upgrade to it. You can upgrade to CS6 since that is still being sold.

Still possible to upgrade to AE CS4?

I'm still a CS3 user who had planned to upgrade to CS5 this fall. Just got a job that would like me to deliver projects to a broadcast network who uses CS4 and they are not willing to upgrade to CS5. So for the time being I have to problem upgrading AE to CS4 for a couple months. I just can't find any way to purchase an upgrade from 3 to 4 on the Adobe site anywhere. Seems like only CS5 is for sale. Any recommendations?

The Production Premium and Master Collection editions of CS5 also come with After Effects CS4 and Premiere Pro CS4, to enable people with 32-bit operating systems to upgrade to the CS5 suite while still having a version of After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Perhaps this will help with your specific situation.

I have a 2.33 Ghz 2 Duo. Is it still possible to upgrade to Lion if so , How ? (my Mac will not accomodate Mountain Lion.

I have a colleague with a 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo on which he has Snow Leopard. He needs to move to Lion 10.7 but can't find how, and his Mac (which is the same as mine) is not able to download Mountain Lion.
     I see that when I downloaded Lion, I should have made a Disc as back up. However, I did not do this, does anyone know how to move to Lion ?
     Appreciate advice and instructions.

Also Be Aware that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion... so any PPC Applications you are using will not run...
AND... Check the Compatibility of Third Party Applications you may be using...

I have not upgraded my Final Cut Pro in a while. Is it not possible to upgrade Final Cut Studio anymore? Do you have to buy the software seperate?

Is it not possible to upgrade Final Cut Studio as a whole? Do you have to now buy the software separately?

It is still possible to upgrade some versions of FCP, especially the Studios, As always, the upgrades apply to base versions that needed to be purchased. The latest version of Final Cut Studio is no longer for sale from Apple but it doesn't run on a PowerMac anyway. The only Final Cut Pro product currently for sale is Final Cut Pro X, which requires an Intel Mac.

Is it possible to upgrade Final Cut Express 4.0 to 4.0.1?

Someone who was told to purchase Final Cut Express 4.0.1 instead bought Final Cut 4.0. I know Final Cut Pro X has washed away the old Final Cut world - but is it still possible to upgrade FCE 4.0 to 4.0.1?
Douglas

The only way to upgrade Final Cut Express 4.0 to 4.0.1. is by clicking on 'Software Update' under the 'Apple' icon in the upper left corner of your Mac - you cannot buy or find the update online. If you have Final Cut 4.0 on your Mac, Software Update will pull up the 4.0.1 update (along with any other updates you've missed) and then you can install it and update FCE.
It took me three tries to get Software Update to correctly install the FCE 4.0.1 update - once I did, the problems I was having with my Canon AVCHD camera disappeared. Good luck.

Possible to upgrade?

I love my laptop, but it's gotten to the point where my ipod has as much memory as my powerbook. Though I have an external hard drive, portability is an issue. Is is possible to upgrade the internal hard drive on the powerbook?

The last of the Ti G4 can be upgraded to a 250GB drive, but earlier ones are limited to a 120GB drive.

Is it still possible to purchase iPhoto 9.1 in order to upgrade to 9.4.3?

Hello, I have three Macs. Both my 2008 Mac Pro Laptop and 2010 3.2 Quad Core Xeon Tower have iLife. I believe both have it preinstalled. My third Mac does not have it preinstalled, and I cannot find the restore disks to make sure. I would like to put iphoto on it, and I don't have a problem purchasing it again, but what I want to do do is run the older 9.4.3 version of iphoto. I don't want to upgrade my system to 10.9 because im running an older version of Quickbooks and Quicken on it. 10.7.5 is fine for now.
Is it still possible to purchase iPhoto 9.1 so that I can upgrade it to 9.4.3. (I downloaded the upgrade, but naturally it won't work yet) The third Mac is a 2.66 dual core intel xeon. The app store says 9.1 is no longer available.. only 9.5 which I cannot run on 10.7.5
Any advice would be appreciated, and I'll continue to search for the elusive system disks.

The iLife 11 disk installs iPhoto 9.0. From there you can update to 9.1 with this updater: iPhoto 9.1

My Macbook Pro is still under limited warranty. Is it possible to upgrade my pro to retina display by going in to the store?

My Macbook Pro is still under limited warranty. Is it possible to upgrade my pro to retina display by going in to the store?

You can only exchange or upgrade your macbook pro for a retina macbook if you are within the 14 days purchase time frame. After the 14th day, you are no longer eligible for an exchange or any upgrade but only for free repairs.
Limited warranty doesn’t mean you would be eligible for an exchange or an upgrade, but its a time period in which your existing macbook hardware and software issues are rectified free of cost.
Hope this helps.....
