is there anything else i can do to upgrade my system to increase speed i do a lot of 3D work and i am pusing my system to 100% 24 hours a day.

Sell the 5 privately and use the funds received toward the purchase of a 5s.
Apple does not do trade-ins like car dealers if that is what you are asking.
In some locations, Apple will give you a small amount for recycling your
current iPhone but you will always get more $ by selling it privately.
Some wireless providers offer periodic reduced price upgrades - check yours
to see if they have such a plan.

  • Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

    Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

    No.  iTunes and over the air updates work by detecting your hardware, and then only offer the latest available version of iOS compatible with that hardware.  Older releases will simply not be available for hardware.

    Hi my names mark.I have the ipad 2 it's on ios 7.1 I had iOS 7.4 but it downgraded to iOS 7.1 is there any way I can upgrade to iOS 7.4 and the 3D effect is gone off my ipad

    There isn't an iOS 7.4 - there was a 7.0.4 (and 7.0.6), 7.1 is the current version.
    For the parallax effect, do you currently have Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion set 'on' ?

  • I got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

    i got an 11 inch macbook air for christmas and now i am regretting not getting the 13 inch is there any way i can upgrade to the 13 inch still ?

    okay well another question the track pad on my 11 inch mac got stuck and wouldnt work and i took it to the apple store and had a tech look at it and he said it was working and i got home and it still wouldnt work so i took it back again to another tech and he said the guy before didnt fix it right and he said it was broken and that i needed a new track pad and he said he would replace it but they didnt have any trackpads in the store at the time but he fixed it enough that it barely works but he said i needed to come back to get a new trackpad because he fixed it enough that it would only work for a short period of time, so i went back the other day to another tech and told him and he said that since it still works they wouldnt do anything about it. but it barely works and barely clicks down should they fix it since the one tech told me it will only work for a short time and that if i came back they would replace my trackpad ? i have apple care and i am still under the 1 year warranty.

  • My mac mini is 2007 and has a core duo so I cannot install lion which needs a 2 core duo. Does this exclude me from the iCloud or is there a way I can upgrade my mac mini?

    Mac mini duo core. I want to join the iCloud as I have MobileMe . However my mac mini has a dou core and not a 2 duo core I cannot by the lion app to install. Is there anyway I can upgrade my mac mini to 2 duo core? Or get the iCloud installed any other way?

    You must have Lion to use iCloud, although you can still access iCloud.com for the web services. Your email is unaffected.

  • Is there any way I can upgrade early? Considering canceling contract..

    My current upgrade date is 10/26. I bought the very first iPhone for Verizon (iPhone 4) the day it came out. This put my 2-year contract renewal date about a month after the iPhone 5 came out. It took lots of searching to locate an iPhone 5 in stock by the time my upgrade date rolled around. I am trying to see if I can avoid having to do this again with the iPhone 6, as my contract end date falls about a month too late once again. I have been a faithful Verizon customer for 10 years. If Verizon cannot move up my upgrade date I am going to switch to T-Mobile, who will pay my early termination fees from Verizon, allow me to order the iPhone 6 NOW, and has much lower monthly access rates. I don't understand why Verizon doesn't reward its loyal customers and would allow them to walk away after being a customer for a decade. Step up Verizon! Someone in customer service please help...

        trember3,
    We truly understand how exciting the release of new phones are. We do not want to see you go. I do apologize as upgrades are only able to be processed on the actual upgrade date. Are you looking into upgrading early due to issues with your current device? Kaebfly, has presented some great options of either purchasing the device at full retail or looking into your Edge eligibility. Keep in mind if you purchase the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus at full retail you can still take advantage of the trade in promotion, as long as your device is in good working condition. Check out the trade in promotion here... http://bit.ly/GGnDDC

  • Is there any way i can upgrade to an iPhone 5C without paying a fee?

    I lost my old phone and my 2 year contract is still going but i need a phonne but i dont want to spend too much money on getting an unlocked phone HELP
    PLEASE

    It seems to be a question about how much is too much money.
    No, you will not be able to get an iPhone 5C without paying a fee, unless you know someone who is willing to give you theirs.
    If you are currently under contract, you would have to pay full retail for the phone if purchasing at Verizon or another 3rd party retailer.
    You could try checking on sites such as swappa.com, but I would suspect any iPhone 5C currently selling on there would be close to full retail.
    You could also try talking someone into extending their contract and then selling the phone to you at the discounted price. They may do this if you promised to do the same for them when you complete your contract. It would obviously have to be someone who trusted you quite a bit, though.
    Good luck.

Is there any way I can get this data before reformatting. Is there any third party software for receiving the data or any possible way? Money is not a limitation to this fix. Please help!!!

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?

    I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

  • I have a MacPro from 2007 and am wondering if there is any way I can upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    I have a MacPro from 2007 and am wondering if there is any way I can upgrade to Mountain Lion. I get a message that it can't be upgraded even though I have downloaded it.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory
    8 GB or more of available space
    What gumsie posted is correct - if it is't compatible, normally it won't download.
