New 2600xps...can I upgrade???
Major newbie question here....
I have the KT3 Ultra ARU. Wondering if I can upgrade to the new 2600 AMD chips to soon come out. Do I need some sort of BIOS flash to do this, anything else, or does my board just support up to 2200?
TIA :D
I heard that it must work with that chip by a simple bios upgrade for the latest boards msi KT3 and KT4 normal the KT3 must run the 2600+ chip i hope so :D

New Ipad--can I upgrade to 3G?
I just received an ipad for Xmas and I wanted the 3G along with the wifi. Is there a way to upgrade to the 3G version without having to exchange the entire thing? Thanks.
Speaking of MiFi....
Next year after iPad 2.0 is hopefully released, I plan to buy. Currently I am debating all of the stuff I am going to end up buying along with it.
I don't plan to go AT&T route. But, I have heard an earful about the Verizon MiFi deal.
What does it cost for the actual MiFi if bought with iPad? I know 20/month for the data amount I would use.
Thanks,
-T-
PS: @OP: No, you can't. The reason is that the 3G iPad has a 3G radio built in. That is the extra 130 dollars.

If i bought a new mac, can i upgrade my old one for free aswell?
I bought a Retina Macbook Pro, which i can upgrade for free to Mountain Lion. I haven't received my Redeem code, so I'm wondering whether that will work on all my old Macs anyway. Cause if it only works with the newly bought MBP, I might aswell buy ML cause I want it on my older iMac too and install it on both my Macs.
You can install ML from the MAS on any apple branded computer that is tied to your apple id (you own).
So you can install it on your old computer, if it is an apple computer and if it is one of the models supported by ML in it's tech specs.
I'm sure there are a lot of people in line to get their code. They will get to you ASAP!
Check for hardware compatibility

I got a flashing folder with a question mark. I got a new hard drive and upgraded to 4 gigs and can't open anything or reload the operating system? Help? FYI: I have been using boot camp with windows 7 and started getting a kernal_data_Page_error and it would reboot windows, i was trying to do a chkdsk on the next reboot, but thats when i started getting this issue. I have put in a new hard drive and went from 2 gigs to 4. I can not get the computer to do anything, even the monitor does not show anything now????
Prep your new drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs,) then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install OS X. -

Can I Upgrade my OS or Should I Buy New Laptop?
OK, so I have been out of the Apple loop for quite some time. This laptop is from 2008. I love it, but the OS is too old. I can't update Firefox or download Chrome. I am a student and need to figure out a solution very very soon as Fall quarter starts next week. The college uses a site that doesn't work well with Safari, it prefers Chrome. So, I can't use my computer to do work. So, a few questions:
1. Can I upgrade OS? If so, how? Are there problems with this?
2. Should I just buy a new MacBook Air from Apple?
3. I have considered buying a MacBook Air used from Ebay, Amazon or Craigslist. Please tell me if you think this is a good or bad idea and why? What to look for on used computer? Being a student, I am obviously trying to save as much money as possible. Some say Ebay is good because of the great buyer protection. Please tell me your thoughts.
I don't use the computer for anything other than school work and searching the web. I don't need anything fancy.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!It's a good idea to hash this out with someone at the Apple Store, who can show you the latest gear and its advantages/disadvantages. My responses are only mine; I hope others will chime in.
1. Upgrade or update? You can't upgrade the OS, but every year, Apple updates the OS and offers features that can be quite appealing. I haven't experienced any problem with updates.
2. You can buy a new MBA from Apple, but I strongly suggest looking at refurbs; just as good, at a reduction in price.
3. You're safe with Amazon for the most part, though the price is nearly always retail. You can get a good machine on eBay, but it helps if you know your values and contact the seller before bidding. I don't trust Craigslist. Realize, however, that an eBay item probably won't have much or any of the original warranty, and some sellers may unload less-than-perfect machines. If you to the eBay route, insist on the return period if the machine seems to have problems.
Features you should be aware of? SSD disk size - how much space do you need? Screen size - do you want 11" or 13"? Battery issues - don't expect long battery life, though the 2013 shows an improvemen; assume you'll be using the wall adapter a lot. -
I have gone through so many apple products to have the battery go out in 1 year or become obsolete in 3 years. I don't believe new apps can't be made to work with older devices and batteries should last more than a year. At this point I feel it's like so much in our world to force us to buy new or use our 3 year old ipod touch as a glorified MP3 player. Some of us can't afford to replace our devices if your like me you expect to use Apple products for a long time that's why you purchase Apple. I bought a ipad so i wouldn't have to carry a laptop but if I want to download music or a book to my nano or ipod touch I can't and who want to take a walk carrying a ipad? Would it be so hard to make a cord to attach a nano to a pad so you can download stuff? What happened to making the consumer happy? Then you call to get answers and you get, sorry that's the way it is we can't help you. I have a box full of apple devices that aren't working or can't be upgraded, I just purchased a nano7 to replace my nano 4 ( the battery dead) this will be my last Apple product until they start standing behind there products like they use to. Far beyond not happy
I have two old ipod classics ( 6 and 7 years old), an ipod nano, the original iphone, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, iphone 4s and an iphone 5. All still work just fine.
You may be the exception.

Do you have the old for new service? Can I upgrade my iPhone 5s to the new iPhone 6 and how much does it cost?
Actually, in the US at least the website states
You can recycle your iPhone at the Apple Retail Store and get immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.**

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck -
I would like to connect a printer that requires OS 10.6 or newer. My MacBook is currently using OS 10.5.8. In searching for a software update, I am told no updates are needed (and am given no option for updating my OS). How can I upgrade my OS to 10.6 or newer?
You have to understand the difference between an Update and an Upgrade.
An Update is a free change to add to the base code or as a bug fix within an existing Operating System. Such as the .8 added to OSX 10.5 or the .11 added to OSX 10.4..
An Upgrade is a complete new Operating System that must be purchased. Such as 10.5 Leopard to 10.6 Snow Leopard.
10.5 Leopard was written for Power PC Macs with code added to force it to run on Intel processors.
10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs.
10.7 Lion ($19.99) used some 32 bit which allows it to run on Late 2006 through Early 2008 MacBooks and a lot of 64 bit code.
10.8 Mountain Lion ($19.99) is pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It can only run on the Late 2008 through Mid 2010 MacBooks. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.
10.9 Mavericks is pure 64 bit and is a free download from the App store.
The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks which are downloads only.
System Requirements for 10.6:
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply. -
Have MacBook Pro (ancient) has
2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo with
1 GB 667 MHz RAM
using OS 10.4.11.
Can I upgrade OS? If so, how far?
And can I add more memory?
I realize this is an old laptop but I need to wait to upgrade to new.if it is the core duo, mac OS X 10.6.8., max ram 2gb.

Plus and minus DVD format on new g5's..... Can I upgrade?
I see on the new g5's that they list plus and minus format dvd burning cabability. Can I upgrade to that ability? The current drive is very picky about media. Memorex 8x won't work. Tdk 8x will. Tdk 16x won't . I find it very annoying. It looks like there is a multiformat drive already in my g5's. How can I make them burn both plus and minus? I am running 0s 10.4.6 Is there a better drive that is not so picky? Thanks
What software are you using to burn with?
If you're using software that allows you to select the burn speed (e.g. Toast), what speed are you burning at?
Can you describe what happens when the burns don't work? Do you get an error message, does the burn just stop partway through, etc.?
From my experience, the Pioneer is less finicky, but this is just from anecdotal evidence as I've only used Pioneer drives, with the exception of the burner in my PowerBook which is a Matsushita.
I'm reluctant to suggest buying a new drive. Is there any particular reason that +R burning is necessary? If the students bought them and the drive doesn't like them, maybe they can exchange the unused discs. Or, it might be helpful to try several different brands (I know you've already tried Memorex and TDK). Maybe try some Maxell and Verbatim.
The Pioneer drives can be found for between $40 and $50. One of the best things about the Pioneers is that they periodically release firmware updates to the drives to enable new media to be used and to improve burn reliability. I believe OSX 10.4.6 is the first to provide native support for a non-OEM DVR-110. -
How can i upgrade my iPhoto 7.1.5 to a newer version? the download 8.02 will not work as i need 8 and that isn't available on download on the site?
Thanks xYou can upgrade to iPhoto '11 with OS X 10.8.5 by purchasing an iPhoto '11 DVD from Amazon, eBay or other source - or you can upgrade your OS to Mavericks for free if your system meets the requirements and then purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store - in either case backup first in case of problems

Re: My Macbook 2009 model was recently upgraded with a new hard drive and upgraded to Mountain Lion OS. I am battling to retrieve all my photos that were ''saved'' in iCloud. Can someone help?
If you are trying to recover photo stream photos, they are only held in iCloud for 30 days. All you would be able ro recover is photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
If you have an iOS device that still has the photo stream photos one it, you can save them to the camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once in the camera roll, they can be imported to iPhoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac
