Just got a MacBook.
My old portable was a 12'' PowerBookG4. I was running Leopard on it, however I did notice that a couple of my programs did not work and as I recall my wireless router did work as well. There are little problems here and there. This MacBook that I have runs Tiger. I'm wondering if it would be wise to upgrade to Leopard? What's your insight?

Unfortunately some web pages, including MSN your money, do not work well with all browsers. This is due to poor design on the part of those pages. If you must use such pages, you may have to use a different browser, such as FireFox. It can be downloaded from [FireFox's web site|http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html] - just click on the "Download Now Free" button and follow the instructions. Microsoft Internet Explorer is no longer available for the Mac.
You might also profit from some of the resources on Apple's [Mac 101|http://www.apple.com/support/mac101> web page. Lots of good resources there.
Best of luck.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?
If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?
You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help! -
i just got my macbook air, less then a week ago, and at least once a day it has frozen and ive had to restart it is there a way to fix that?
If the MBA is within 14 days of the purchase date from an Apple sore, you may return it for a refund or an exchange.
Regarding the specific problem you are facing, can you provide more details, such as the application that you were using and exactly what the response was.

I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left. Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs. I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?
That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

i just got my macbook pro a week ago and i was told that i will get the lion for free, if this is true, then how do i get it.
Hi,
Not that's not normal and is one of the Problems I was having before Restoring as New...
Just make sure you Sync ALL your important Info... Contacts... Music... Etc... to your Computer...
and then do a Restore as New...
i was a bit reluctant at First, because I hadn't done it before... But it was So Easy and am Really Glad I did...
Cheers,

I just got a MacBook Pro and and Screen Cracked? Help?
JUst got a MacBook Pro and my friend, kinda Droped it. Any Help for replacemnt. Is it possible to get a free replacemnt.
The way to get a free replacement is to have your clumsy friend buy a new one for you. There's no other way. The warranty doesn't cover your computer against clumsy friends — only manufacturing defects.

Just got a macbook pro, no disc drive. how do I install disc-based software? Do I have to buy an external drive? ARgh.
Yes, an external drive will be necessary. You may purchase the Mac superdrive from the online store or one from another manufacturer. All will work.
