Is there anybody that upgraded an "older" MacBook to Mavericks

Hello
I have a MacBook (MacBook 2,1 Mid 2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.16 GHz processor. It's executing 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) and it runs very well. Is there anybody with a similar setup that upgraded to Mavericks ?
If so, any problems ? Did it slow down your coputer ?
Thank's for your input.

To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

Problem during installation of iTunes 10.7 on Win7 x64. Is there anybody that can help me?

Hello everyone!
I've a problem during installation of Itunes 10.7 on Window 7 x64. I had installed v11 but i don't like it, so i've uninstalled correctly this version and i have downloaded v10.7
The message, translated in english, is:
UNKNOWN \ Components \ ... \ 2B0163E6D0340BE2758E9BEDD8.
Make sure you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support staff.

I accidentally put a passcode lock on my iPhone and I forgot what I set for it, is there a way to take it off without accessing the phone? I have restored my phone but it doesn't work, is there anybody that could help me please?

You can't "accidentally" put a passcode on any iPhone...its a multi-step process. Further, restoring an iPhone will remove the passcode, as the passcode is not included in an iPhone backup.
Are you sure you're talking about the phone passcode & not something else...like the "Restrictions" passcode?

Is there anybody that have jpcap ( rawsocket ) examples Thanks

I'am an Italian programmers, sorry i speak a little English.
I downloaded from http://www.goto.info.waseda.ac.jp/~fujii/jpcap/index.html , jpcap pakage.
By it i can read and send packet/rawsocket.
When i capturing packet it's all ok.
When i want send packet i have an exception: java.io.IOException: sendto error
probably i have not setting any field.
Is there anybody that can help-me.
Is there anybody that have some examples that explain how to send packet ( ICMP,TCP,UDP )
In the pakage documentation i dont find nothing.
In the pakage documentation there is only a tcpdump examples.
Thanks you ulisse640

I have done quite a bit of work with the jpcap software. The tcp dump functionality works fine but as you stated there are problems with the send. I hope you are fimilar with C programming because there are bugs in the native implementation that you will unfortunutely need to work out.
I have the source code that I worked on at work or I would send it to you now. If you would like a copy of my updated version of the C code then send me an email. It's not perfect but its a start. BTW -- what operating system are you attempting to run this on? I only have patched the code for windows.

Is there a way to upgrade my older macbook air from Lion to Mavericks?

Is there a way to upgrade my older (First generation) macbook air from Lion to Mavericks?

The original MacBook Air can't be upgraded past 10.7.5, and unless someone's previously downloaded Mavericks or otherwise noted, the installer for it isn't available.

Wrist Guard That Works with Older Macbook Pro?

I see a lot of wrist guards, but they all seem to only work with the newer Mac Books. Can someone point to a reseller who sells a wrist guard that will work with the older MacBook Pros? Thanks.

I love the stuff at Macstyles (http://www.macstyles.com)... they have Macpads that go on the palmrest area... they are not super simply to put on (gotta make sure to not get air bubbles) but I've put them on 4 machines (as well as back of the screen ones too) and its pretty easy after doing it a couple of times. Might go with a clear one on the older model, and less likely to see any mess ups or tiny air bubbles. On the newer Unibodies with Glossy screens, the solid black looks sooo awesome, matches with the screen and the keyboard.

I use this laptop as my home computer but do graphic design on it quite frequently for side jobs but I'm still on OS 10.6.8. My adobe Creative suite is a (not so legal) CS5 that had to be configured to work on this machine.
At work I am about to upgrade my 2010 iMac to the newest OS version and install the new Adobe Creative Cloud suite on it in June. I would like to get the full version, so I can run it on my MacBook too (you are allowed to run two computers with the software purchase) but will this even be possible with my older machine? I can't afford a new one...it doesn't even feel that old.
Also, if it IS possible, then how would I go about uninstalling my CS5? There was quite a bit of tinkering done - not by me so I don't know exactly what - to make it work.
So what should I do? Should I take in to a Mac specialist? Thanks in advance.

Ever since the last update I can't seem to open up the list of ''Recently Closed Windows'', is there anybody that can help me with that?

Yesterday my Firefox browser was updated without me even noticing it. I closed the only 2 windows that were open, both having a bunch of tabs, because I turned off my PC. Today I opened up Firefox, clicked ''Restore previous session'' which opened up one of these 2 windows. But when I wanted to access the list of ''Recently Closed Windows'' it didn't open. It only shows a small square as if it's there, but it doesn't show anything. I can open up ''Recently Closed Tabs'' but that doesn't help me. I now only have 1 window, but the other one had some important tabs opened in it as well, so I could really use some help.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about this problem and for the delay in getting back to you.
Firefox stores your open windows and tabs in a file named sessionstore.js in your currently active settings folder. Could you check that folder and back up all of the sessionstore files as the first step.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
If you find a file named sessionstore but not sessionstore.js, Windows may be hiding file extensions from you. To work with files as accurately as possible, I suggest unhiding them. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
''(In Windows 8.1, you should be able to access the Folder Options dialog by tapping the Alt key to show the menu bar, then using the Tools menu. Click to the View menu and scan down for the hidden files/folders option.)''
Assuming you still have a sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file that would have your pre-update session, check out these threads for different ways to rescue the lost URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:

Re: Is there anybody that i can complain to about ...

2 weeks and 12 line checks later the fault is still not resolved because I will not accept the charges.
I believe we have a contract that I pay a premium price for and which BT is not supplying, ie a working network connection.
Their own tracker shows the fault lies with the BT retail servers, I cannot take time off without 6-8 weeks notice just on the off chance that the engineer might turn up and might need to access my house. The local line was replaced last year and the internal wiring checked at the same time, there have been no changes since.
Until BT can assure me that there is no possibility of the fault being in their network, where upon I will arrange my own engineer at much less cost and greater convenience, we are at an impasse, as the so called help desk say they cannot escalate the calls.

Hi Paxman20,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting. In most cases an engineer will need to get access to test and demonstrate to the customer that the issue is sorted. I'll be happy to take a look at this case for you if you wish. Drop me an email with your details. You'll get the 'contact us' link in my profile.
Cheers

Is there anybody that i can complain to about BT?

Despite extensive correspondence with BT Digital Care Complaints and Resolutions, BT continue to bill me for broadband despite me having no Broadband Service from them due to delays in their services! Does anyone know how i can take this complaint higher as at the moment BT are basically doing what they want despite my objections.
I thought about complaing to Ofcom but they dont accept complaints.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Chester97,
Thanks for posting and I'm sorry to read about the problems with your service.

I am having trouble downloading apps onto my iPad2. When I try a message appears " not enough local storage this can be managed in settings.". I ave tried by deleting unused apps, but the same message appears. How can I resolve this ? Help needed pleas.

Try rebooting the iPad as well. You might be getting an inaccurate reading and rebooting might clear that up.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

My camera is not working I can not take photos, use the recorder or even I can not use the facetime's video mode. Is there anybody that can have the same problem and knows the solution?

Please answer as soon as possible.

Have you tried a rest or hard reset?
Hold your power button and your home button for about 15 seconds until you see the apple logo.
Ignore the power slider when you see it.

Upgrading an 13" MacBook 10.4.11

Hello,
I need to upgrade my trusty old MacBook as it cannot have iTunes version I need for my Iphone to sync properly, and I seem to be coming across more and more "os 10.5 or higher required" messages. Am I right in thinking Snow Leopard is the way to go? Also, I really have no idea of backing up- what is the cheapest way of doing it, I have lots of photos -would be devastated to lose them. My husband has an iMac - can I use it to back-up? Also, are printer drivers generally upgrade-able on-line, or is this likely to mean new printer, too?
Many thanks
Olga

You can connect to your husband's iMac with a Firewire cable and use Target Mode to transfer your stuff over to his Mac. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
You'll need a FireWire cable 6 pin to 6 pin if you both have FireWire 400. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_8?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field- keywords=firewire+cable&sprefix=firewire%2Caps%2C164
You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under10.6. You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... You would find the updated drivers on the printers website. And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
A 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $150
Once you are at 10.6.8 you can buy Lion from the App Store if you have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly. Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

i am try to use my itunes which i have not used in a while trying to do all the upgrades. i have an older macbook but i cant download anything. so is apple saying that i will not be able to connect my iphone to macbook ever unless i get a new laptop?

Your MacBook is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8, which is the minimum required to install the current version of iTunes and sync devices running iOS 7. It doesn't need to be compatible with Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks.
