My macbook is a late '07 OS 10.6, can I get an old-style wireless keyboard for it?

Hey there :-)
I have a late '07 whitebook running Snow Leopard. I write a lot, so after a while its own keyboard can get uncomfortable to me and my freaky long fingers (not to mention rather hot!). I used an external keyboard from the start, at least on my desk, but quickly turned to completely wireless (ie bluetooth) because anything else would at least sacrifice one of my two USB ports, maybe even add cable tangle (which can be a liability with my setup).
Back in '08 I found a cheap rocketfish keyboard, and I got along with it fantastically well for almost four years until two nights ago when it just suddenly died on me. Now, I'm back looking, but other than the ultra-thin, narrow apple keyboard and its inevitable truckloads of imitations, which are all no good for me as the only thing they offer over the built-in keyboard is that they don't make your hands as hot, the only option seems to be one of those older keyboards with the curved profile. The price isn't too bad, but I'm only wondering whether it would work with my setup. I do know that if I change laptops it may no longer work (and since my laptop itself is pretty old, it probably ought to matter to me) but really I haven't written properly in two days and it's driving me crazy, so I have to do something :-)
Consequently, I would appreciate if you can think of any other options for a completely wireless, non-USB-port-gobbling keyboard (it needs to ship to Europe though, heh).
So to sum up: does the curvy old apple k/b work with my setup? and, What else (if anything) would also work (other than the current Apple Wireless k/b in sleek low-profile aluminum)?
Thanks in advance everybody!

Thank you ;- )

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
No data will be lost.

How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone? The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings. I hate the upgrade!

If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

HT1947 Remote app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?

'Remote' app requirements are stated as "software version 3.1.3 or later". I am running 4.2.1 and when I try to download it says 4.3 required.
OK, I understand that new versions make use of facilities that come with new versions of IOS, but there is/was a version that runs on 3.1.3 and therefore, I assume 4.2.1. Where can I get the (old) version that runs on my IOS?
The app store seems to ignore all legacy equipment owners, and want me to spend loadsa money to get the latest shiny toy. It probably makes business sense, but I dislike companies that take that approach. This is my first venture into smart phones, and I like the IOS interface, but I'm not sure I can afford the maintenance.

This is standard for Apple. While there is little official mention of the software support lifespan for equipment, typical support has been about 4-5 years for computers. It strikes me that newer items, especially mobile devices, are not built as sturdily nor do they have the hardware upgrade capabilities required to keep up with newer systems. When we bought an iPhone 4S we were told by the person in the store we'd probably be looking at a newer model in two years. The iPhone 3G could be anywhere from 2 to 4 years old, putting it well into.
As for app availability, Apple typically pulls old software versions from its site when new versions appear. If it is a non-Apple app then I guess it is up to the vendor. It is indeed tiresome but it is not at all unusual. Since I only ever run used Macs, I download current versions even though my computer won't run them, stick them on a hard drive, then I have them when I upgrade to a newer used computer. If you run older equipment you have to learn a different mode of operation to exist with the Apple 'new and innovative' but 'forget about the old' philosophy.

My macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop or bridge to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.

my macbook pro was repaired and since then i can't get nor photoshop cs5 or bridge cs5 to initialize. a window appears that says it has initializing problems due to an icc profile issue.
there appear two error messages. the first one says that there has been a problem sincronizing because of a programme error. the second one appears after you clicked ok on the first window and says that photoshop couldn't be initialized because the icc profile is invalid.
does anyone know if i have to delete any system or photoshop preference? the illustrator is also having troubles. thanks

thanks! what finnally worked better was renaming the «settings» folder in te «color folder» in the library with ~before the name. now indesign is asking me for thw icc profiles but still works, so i asume i can reinstall color settings only for indesign and go on.

Can I get an old version of Imovie to macbook OS X 10.6.8

Can I get an old version of Imovie to macbook OS X 10.6.8?

How old? iMovie 6 upwards will work with Snow Leopard, iMovie 5 and below will not.
If you are asking how to install it, use your original install disks, then Software Update to get the latest version of the particular version of iMovie you have installed.

The iLife that came with your MacBook is on the #2 gray disk that came with the MacBook.
The App Store version of iLife ‘11 programs will only work with 10.7 or 10.8. You can get the iLife ’11 DVD which will run on 10.6 on eBay or Amazon.com fairly cheap.

I lost my install dvd for my Macbook pro 17" 2.53 i5. How can I get that?

You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee.
You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

I seem to have lost my wifi profile on my macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

seem to have lost my WiFi profile on my Macbook air. How do I create another profile, or get the old one back?

The profile will automatically be added back again when you connect to the network again. Here, I assume that you have a check mark in the box next to Remember networks this computer has joined.
If the box is checked and the network does not appear, then there may be an operating system problem with your Mac.
That would be beyond the scope of what we handle here with the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule, so you would want to post in the appropriate operating system community to follow up on that.

Read and follow the Bootcamp Installation instructions that you were offered to view when you ran Bootcamp Assistant.
Run Bootcamp Assistant again and select the option to download the Bootcamp Support software. Follow the instructions. Then boot into Windows and install the Windows Support software you downloaded and saved.

My Macbook Pro will not boot up. How can I get to the time machine back up?

When I turn on my Macbook Pro, it gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning beach ball and stays there. I use Time Machine with a Seagate external harddrive to back up my files. I at first thought recovery meant using Seagates's Replica software, so I followed the instructions, inserting the recovery CD and booting up to the C drive. The Seagate tecnical support person informed me that I was in error and that because I was using Time Machine, the Replica recovery CD would not be useful to me. Now I have two problems. I can't boot up, and I can't get the Replica CD out of the C drive. So I have several questions. How do I remove the CD? There doesn't appear to be a place to use the old paper clip method. Once I've removed the CD, how do I reinstall the OS? I don't seem to have a hard copy of Mavericks that should have come with this laptop.

Restart, hold the mouse button down as it boots, it should be ejected.

Lets take this step by step…
Once the disk is ejected see if 10.9 can boot normally.
If that fails let us know what happened.
Power off & disconnect your Time Machine disk and any other external disks just for now (so we know it is safe & not causing this issue).
Reboot & hold alt - it will take you into the 'boot picker' it will list all available boot disks. Make a note of how many disks appear and what the names are - let us know here.
You could try picking the 'recovery partition' if available. That should eventually show you a screen where you can select Disk Utility in the list of options…
In Disk Utility select the 'boot disk' – this is usually the item above 'Macintosh HD' (or whatever your boot disk is called).
Select the 'First Aid' tab
Repair any disk damage that is reported via 'verify'. Then select the 'Macintosh HD' & repair the permissions too.
Recovery mode explained…
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
If you have no recovery partition you can use 'Internet recovery mode' (Command+Option+R at startup) - this downloads enough to repair & install 10.9. Try to use an ethernet connection for the internet - it can be many times faster & more stable than wifi.
Once that completes reboot, hold alt & select your main boot disk (maybe Macintosh HD) if it is available.
The recovery partition can also be used to download & install 10.9.3. However you should probably see what state the Mac's boot disk is in. It's possible that erasing & reinstalling is the only option. If you go down this route you can restore the Time Machine backup, but it's better to see if it can be fixed first.

Wireless keyboard for Macbook?

Gentlefolk;
I have an iPad with a cordless keyboard. Works great.
I have started using a MacBook Pro, and I am having issues with the keyboard. It is way too touchy for me..I find my cursor bouncing all over the screen, text being entered in the wrong line, paragraphs being selected.... not a fault of the computer. I am just brushing the touchpad and probably keying in some type of obscure command that does all this.
Plus the flat format of the keyboard is not good for the way I type.
Sooo...Im thinkin' external keyboard and maybe external mouse.
Can I configure the existing wireless keyboard I use for the iPad to work with the MacBook? I know the answer is "yes" but I believe this involves unpairing the iPad connection and pairing to the MacBook, then unpairing from the MacBook and pairing with the iPad... which is frankly more hassle than I care for, I think.
Can one keyboard be paired to two devices?
Is there some other solution I should be considering? I am thinking of just getting another external keyboard, but thought I would check here to see if there were something I was overlooking or not thinking about.
Thanks all!

Okay, I will check it out. Is an existing keyboard necessary to set up the wireless keyboard. My father spilled soda on his macbook keyboard and it does not work. But the system works and a mouse in the usb works. Do you think there will be a problem setting up an external wireless keyboard. Thanks again.
