Processor upgrade is this possible
I have a broken 1.8ghz G5 which according to the apple repair centre has a faulty processor, (not happy only 18 months old and only used about once a week).
They are wanting £340+vat to fix this, but i can get hold of a second hand 2.0ghz processor for about £160 would this processor work with my mac? and is it easy to install, i work as a pc engineer so i'm ok with the taking pc's to bits.There is some discussion of this subject which you can read if you enter say, "processor upgrade" (without the quotes) in the search box at top right of this forum

HI guys, I hope you can help or at least give a point in the right direction.I'm a freelance photographer using much of the Adobe CS6 creative suite. After a disaster of a week I came home to find that the mother board on my editing workstation somehow is fried. I have no idea what happened though i wouldn't put it past my roommates carelessness.
I'm desperate. I need to finish my current job before I am able to afford to buy a replacement. So I am forced to rely on stopgap measures, out of desperation to finish my project, which are less than ideal, but so far are faring better than I'd hoped.
Im a photographer, Capture One, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro are the go to workhorse applications i need to work. without them i have no income. in order to have this machine run these apps,
the machine i have left is an old hp 550 which was gathering dust in the closet. It was built for 32 bit Win XP and in no way is intended to run the power hog adobe products I use, especially Lightroom.
Unfortunately Lightroom PS, and Premiere are 64 bit programs and LR and Premiere are hyper threaded. so I did research, and with the help of the windows 7 upgrade adviser utility's list of instructions I was able to get windows 7 Pro 64 bit to install and run.
I know this isnt the ideal machine or situation but for a few weeks, i need to make it work.
I really just have 2 simple questions. I had first gone to HP tech support. but they were not helpful. since the Laptop's warranty is long gone, they wouldnt even be polite and basically told me to shove off. Then on another forum, I argued back and forth with a know it all who consistently insisted that there was no way no how this pc could run 64 bit win 7, to which i thought what am i seeing things? its been running fine for 3 months. so i decided to come to you. your forums have been helpful on many occassions.
basically I need this machine to be able to run these programs for the next month or so, until i can purchase a new machine.
essentially, what I would like to know is will the motherboard support an upgrade of the processor? and if it will, what would you suggest as a replacement, considering my needs? The Core 2 duo is the barest minimum of what i can limp along with as photo/video rendering times are excessively slow.
next I was talking to the crucial tech support staff about memory upgrades. and possibly tweaking the bios to force it to run 8 gigs of ram. they said they cold find no version of bios that would make that possible, but that by already forcing it to run 64 bit, that already allowed the pc to utilize the full 4 gigs of ram, which had been impossible in the 32 bit format. He then suggested that i buy 2 4 gig modules such as 4GB DDR2 PC2-5300 Unbuffered NON-ECC 1.8V 512Meg x 64 which can be seen at http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/memory/ct51264ac667 and try installing the full 8 gigs and see what would happened, saying he had a feeling i could get lucky. his logic being that the 64 bit system already opened up the ram limitations and who knows, you cant make an omelette without cracking some egg shells! he seemed very optimistic. So what do you think? does this seem likely to you because i would love it to work. or do you think the guy was a quack? and this whole endeaver is a waste of time and money?
also any other suggestions about how to weather this month long storm that dont involve suggestions of buying new machines would be appreciated!

Unfortunately the maximum configuration is a T5670 processor 1.8 ghz and 4 gigs of DDR2-667 memory which you already have. The CPU includes the 64 bit instruction set so it is not surprising it can run 64 bit Windows 7. My best advice is to save your money for when you can get a real working machine. The only other upgrade likely to help at all is a solid state drive, which you could use in the laptop and then also use in the new computer you are going to buy.

Memory upgrade on the NB550D-11D - 4GB RAM are possible
To anyone who's thinking about a memory upgrade on the NB550D:
The NB550D supports up to 4GB of memory, not only 2GB as mentioned by Toshiba in their specifications.
A memory upgrade to 2GB is _only limited_ by the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter OS, not by the netbook itself.
I'm using Linux Mint 11 Katya, 64bit and my system is running perfectly well with a 4GB ram module. If you want to use full 4 GB ram support, get rid of the Win 7 Starter OS.
The specification for higher volume ram is DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 SO-Dimm. I've chosen one 4GB module by Corsair, due to the 30 years warranty Corsair offers.
It took me quite a while to find this out, hope this is going to be a help to everybody who's just as unsecure as I was how to upgrade the NB550D memory. Good luck. ;o)> A memory upgrade to 2GB is only limited by the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter OS, not by the netbook itself.
I can confirm this. Two days ago Ive installed own Win7 32bit Home Premium and upgraded my NB520 with 4GB RAM. 3GB are in usage now and notebook runs perfectly.
With original Win7 Starter version I have noticed annoying display behaviour while watching action movies. When the scene in the movie was without movement everything was ok but by action scenes some strange lines were shown on the screen.
Now after own OS installation everything works perfectly and Im so happy with my NB520.
I can just recommend it for everyday usage.
By the way: I use 4GB SO-DIMM DDR3-1333Mhz PC3-10600 -
I recently lost my iphone 4 and have an iphone3 on loan until I get upgrade in Aug. I want to sync my data - contacts most important - from my itunes account...is this possible? Is it possible to change the user ID on the borrowed phone to my ID?
There are no contacts in itunes.
Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync. Just sync them to the new one.
Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals
Changing the itunes account on nthe iphone is covered there as is restoring the iphone as new or from backup. -
I've got an old IPhone 4 (not a 4S) and I want to upgrade to IOS 5 not 6 or 7. Is this possible?
Apple only allows updating to the current version of iOS for the device. For the iPhone4 and later that is currently iOS7.0.4.
There is no reason to not upgrade to the current version. -
I need to upgrade the G4 to OS 10.5 Is this possible?
I am the director of a not for profit that just received the donation of an old PowerPC G4.
We use Office of Mac 2011 as our primary data software. To install it on this computer I need to upgrade for OS 10.4 to OS 10.5. Is this possible? If so how would I do it?Depends on exactly which PowerPC G4 you are using. More details as to the exact model would be helpful.
In order to upgrade to 10.5, you will need to purchase the Leopard install DVD. These are no longer available from Apple and are usually being sold for around $200 now.
This of course brings up the question of do you want to put that much money into that old of a Mac.

Memory upgrade is not available for my iMac (2009 Fall edition). Where else can I purchase this?!
Apparently, Apple does not have the memory upgrades for my older iMac available. Does anyone know where else I can acquire this? with all the new OS upgrades, my beloved machine is starting to get really slow.
If there is a micro center store in your area, they carry crucil memory for the mac , BUT make sure you get or order the correct memory (crucial will have the specs or check your about this mac will also tally what memory you have now)

I have upgraded my computer to program the MAC OS X but would like to remove this update and revert to the old one. Is this possible and how do I proceed?
Not easily, unless you backed up your data.
Did you? If not, let that be a lesson to never install anything without a backup:

You must upgrade to Snow Leopard, then Lion. There is no direct upgrade from Leopard to Lion.

I tried to download a new trial version as well, but my current operating system will not support it, so I'd like to stick w/ a version of CS5 that will allow me to work in 3D. What are my options?
You can upgrade to CS6 extended for $400

I need to upgrade an adobe photoshop cs4 extended package brought through a company. Is this possible?
It depends what you need to upgrade to. You probably cannot upgrade CS4 to a newer Creative Suite because it is most often no longer in the upgrade path. Usually CS5 is the minimum in the path, and the only upgrade that you could get is for CS6 since Adobe does not sell older versions.
If you would like to join the Creative Cloud then you should be able to upgrade to the special introductory plan they have for Creative Suite owners.
