Am currently running 10.6.8 OSX

You are confusing RAM with HardDrive Space. No iMacs came with just 4GB Drives. Check again in About This Mac under the Apple logo top left.

    You can go strait to SL, all you need is a retail SL DVD available from Apple for $20. The US online store has them at:

  • I bought a new 5.5 gen ipod.  Should I install it with the CD it came with or is that too out of date now (2006)? Can you direct me to any help with this model?

    I bought a new 5.5 gen ipod.  Should I install it with the CD it came with or is that too out of date now (2006)?

    It is no longer needed.  Simply download and install the latest version of iTunes (currently at 10.6) from Apple's website.  It includes all the necessary software and files for your iPod to communicate with your PC and iTunes properly.

  • When I turn on MacBook Pro it telling me that my start up disk is full and I need to delete files.  How do I get to start up disc?

    When I search a file called start up disc, nothing shows up. How do I delete files so when my computer starts up, I no longer get a message stating that my start up disc is full and that I need to delete some files?

    There is a boot drive inside the computer and it's storage space is filled up.
    You need to create a external storage drive and transfer some of your files off the internal boot drive.
    TimeMachine doesn't work for this as it's just a rotating backup image of what's on your boot drive, it's not a storage drive for more space and to save things permanently.
    So what you need to do is get three external drives from the office or computer store.
    I suggest 3-4 separate drives at 1TB each (or more capacity if you really got a lot of stuff), USB 2 is currently fine, the newer USB 3's are more expensive but your Mac doesn't have USB 3 ports, so get the less expensive USB 2 drives and save some money. If you can get Firewire 800/USB combination drives, those would be a better choice as Firewire 800 is the fastest for most Mac's. Only the very new ones have Thunderbolt and the new drives for that are rare and expensive.
    Make sure they are self powered drives with their own power supply, not port powered as those are a bit flaky as Apple can just determine the device is drawing too much current from the computer and turn it off.
    Note: sometimes if your computer is so full, you might actually have to delete some files in order to be able to get it to function transferring files, so pick ones that you can get new copies again, like free iTunes podcasts or movies for instance.
    TimeMachine Drive
    The first drive you connect to the Mac is going to pop up a window to ask if you want to make this a "TimeMachine Drive" go ahead and allow it to do that, it's backing up everything on your internal boot drive, it's going to take a long time.
    Once it's finished, disconnect this TimeMachine drive and label it as a "TimeMachine Drive"
    Extra space /Storage drives
    The second drive you connect is going to be your "extra storage drive" basically to free up space off the internal boot drive by transferring files to it.
    Formatting:
    You first need to format this drive, you use Disk Utility in the Applications> Utilities folder.
    On the left will be the 'name of the drive' + "media" click that and then click the Partition tab
    Now click 1 Partition, Option: GUID, format OS X Extended (Journaled), give it a name like "StorageOne" and click Apply.
    Now click the Erase Tab and Security Option> Zero All Data and click Erase (use the same name) this will take a long time, like 2 hours per 1TB. It's going to check the drive for any errors and make sure it's working.
    Note: If the drive fails to format, then perform the Zero All Data first, then visit the Partition tab.
    Once the second drive is finished, then do the third drive in the same manner, this time naming it "StorageTwo"
    Transferring Data off to the Extra Storage drive
    Connect only StorageOne drive and visit your User/Movies folder, it's likely the biggest culprit of oversized files. Create a new folder on the StorageOne drive called "ExtraMovies" and transfer the contents of User/Movies to the "ExtraMovies" folder via drag and drop methods.
    Confirm the files were transferred and then delete those movies by dragging them to your Trash can and selecting "Empty Trash" from the Finder menu (if you select Secure Empty Trash on large files it takes a really long time to finish as it's scrubbing the drive, likely unnecessary except for sensitive files)
    If you have a large amount of User/Files elsewhere, you will have to search yourself and repeat the same steps to free up room on your internal boot drive.
    Once you have made some free space, download this free program to help you visualize where all your space is being taken up.
    http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/#download
    Once you have completed moving files to the StorageOne drive, connect StorageTwo and copy the contents of StorageOne folders to StorageTwo drive. Both drives have to be connected of course.
    Rule of thumb
    Maintain TWO separate hardware copies of your User data at ALL TIMES
    Because you need more room, thus the storage drives are for extra space. The TimeMachine drive is a backup of your internal boot drive and the second storage drive is a backup copy of the first storage drive. So that way your sticking with the rule of thumb, get it?
    Don't connect TimeMachine while your transferring files, or formatting drives, you don't want it to "kick in" while your doing all this heavy work or transferring a large amount of files, I think it does so every hour, which you are going to taking quite some time to do all this work.
    Once your all done making room and copying files to the Storage drives, disconnect them and label them and date them.
    Reconnect TimeMachine drive
    Then connect the TimeMachine drive and it will make a NEW backup of your now newer configuration on your boot drive and keep it updated every time you connect it.
    Again, TimeMachine is NOT a storage drive for permanent keeping of data, it deletes old stuff as time progresses. So even though you can "go back in time" and recover a file you transferred then deleted off the your internal boot drive, it  won't keep everything forever like a storage drive can.
    Consider Cloning your boot drive.
    TimeMachine drives can only restore, they are not bootable like a clone is, so a TimeMachine drive isn't a heck of a lot of help if your hard drive fails to boot the computer, so a "hold the option key bootable clone" made with third party software is a very useful as you get to use the computer just like it was before and can get online, grab files off the internal drive and so forth. Even erase and reverse cloning!
    The trick with a clone is you make one and keep it disconnected, updating it from time to time. If a software update or install hoses your machine, you can option boot off the clone, grab the latest copy of your files and reverse clone the clone with the updated files back onto your OS X partition, reboot the computer and it's like nothing happened.
    It's a advanced technique, you will have to learn a lot more perhaps before attempting it, but it's a lifesaver.
    Cloning requires another separate external hard drive and free cloning software.
    You can read more about it all here. Take your time, you have a lot to absorb.

  • I need to clear my harddrive on my macbook pro and i did not receive a disc to install software it came with osx lion

    Any help would be appreciated

    If you want to get your MacBook Pro back to 'factory' settings and don't mind that you lose all of your files, apps, etc., then just follow Thomas Reed's advice in How to prepare your Mac for sale.
    You will lose all data - but, if you don't mind losing that 'ton,' go right ahead.
    Good luck,

  • TS3992 My ICloud still says 'incomplete' even after I closed every app, then opened only Camera Roll.

    I'm trying to free up storage on my Iphone 4. When I attempted to move pictures/videos to my ICloud via backup, it's saying 'incomplete' even though I closed ALL apps (including Camera Roll, then tried again with it open)

    Unfortunately it like the problem is stored in your backup.  The only thing I can think of to do other than restoring your phone as new is trying to recover an earlier backup to restore to. If you backed up your phone by syncing with iTunes prior to this happening there's a chance you can recover the backup using Windows System restore (restoring to an earlier restore point) or mac Time Machine.  If it's there you will find it at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    If you find it, put it on a flash drive and then revert your system back to its current status (by undoing System Restore or ending Time Machine).  Once done, copy this backup file to it's original location.  Then  disable automatic syncing in iTunes (Preferences>Devices>Prevent...from syncing automatically), connect your phone to your computer and save any recent pictures in your Camera Roll, right-click on it in iTunes and select Transfer Purchases (to save any new purchases), right-click again and select Restore from Backup chosing the older backup you just recovered.

  • I need to totally delete icloud/me email address on my iPhone.

    And then create completely new one. If I try to delelte account from phone it gives me a message will delete all info stored in cloud. True?

    It will delete the iCloud data on your phone, but not from iCloud.  You can, however prevent this, and migrate your data to a new account.  If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID will still have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, but you can then migrate your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.

  • I changed my Apple ID now I cant access icloud emails. What do I do?

    I have changed my Apple ID. Now I cant access my emails. Any suggestions?

    If you only changed the name of your iCloud Apple ID, just go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  (This will delete the account from your iPad but not from iCloud; it will also delete any data you are syncing with iCloud from your iPad but provided you are signing back into the same account, with just a different name, it will be synced back to your iPad with you sign back in.)  Then sign back in using your updated ID and password and turn syncing back on (when prompted, choose merge).  Here's a video showing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJMKUo2HTRo.
    If you created a new Apple ID for iCloud and need to migrate your data to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.

    I need to obtain my celluar data for my 3G iphone which has not been operating for the past 4 weeks now, since I changed my sim from orange to giffgaff and the sim cannot access the celluar data and neither the internet on the phone or on the sim.  I would like to connect this immediately as this is not good for business and for family and friends as they are complaining that they cannot access my number.  I am not please about this at all.  I have tried connecting through the computer and still no connection.  The serial number is 88******3NP and the Carrier is O2 14.0

    You need to contact GiffGaff for assistance. This is more than likely caused by changes in the APN. You need to have the settings from GiffGaff so you can access data and internet.

  • I need to change my icloud account the account name is a email address I can no longer access

    I need to change my icloud account name the account name is an email address that I can no longer access.

    I also cannot reset the password because I have no Idea what email it will go to. I have reset my apple ID and passcode it has the old
    email now how do I change it for icloud????? Please assist very important...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to access iCloud?

    I changed my apple id from the one I used to originally sign up to iCloud and now cannot login to iCloud - do I need to change it back to the original apple id in order to access iCloud?

    Gosh, this is full of great information and I need something a little bit deeper - and because I'm not a techy - can I explain...Apple ID changed a year ago from a work email to a personal email.  No longer have access to original email..... New email and Apple ID worked flawlessly until today - every 3 seconds Sign in to iCloud pops up.. with the old work email.  I enter the password - which is the same... and it says invalid. 
    I tried to delete the icloud, but you need the password and it says "find my phone" is on... i turn it off,  and it's the old email... and the password again doesn't work, of course. 
    I am left stratching my head... I sync my phone and my correct, up to date email is in the Apple ID sections...
    What am I doing wrong.. talk slow to me please, lol.

  • TS1559 i have problem with my iphone as it is disable and need to get all my data as the phone needs at least 40 years to enable accessing it

    I have problem with my iphone as it is disable and need to get all my data as the phone needs at least 40 years to enable accessing it

    If you have never connected the phone to iTunes and backed it up or used iCloud to backup your data, it is lost at this point.
    The only way to get back into the phone is to restore it.
