Not the right Leopard DVD - can I still get the drivers installed?
My cousin just got a Macbook Pro 15 and I am helping her get Boot Camp/Windows up and running. She came from out of town and did not get her Leopard DVD and I realized the hard way that the DVD that I have (from my mac mini purchase 6 months ago) does not install the drivers for most of the peripherals.
Is there a way out for me or do I have to remotely help her after she gets back to her home?

If she just purchased this computer brand-new from Apple, then yes, you'll have to help her remotely, if she needs anything. The only place her drivers can be found is on the disc that came with her computer.
You can get Windows installed for her and make sure she knows how to boot between the two OS's, of course. And installing the drivers is very easy--all she has to do is be booted in Windows and pop in that DVD.

Thanks for the response. Yes, she purchased it 3 days back. I have installed Windows already and I actually wanted to set her up with Parallels as well and I did not want to do it till I have Windows XP patched up and for that I need Boot Camp to be updated to the latest version first
Oh well, this is going to be a good test of my remote help skills

my iPod touch needs to be restored. however, all of my movies/apps/songs/photos are not backed up on my computer because the shop on my computer does not work. can i still get the memory on my iPod touch 32gb back?
If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck. -
Tried updating firefox but it is not compatible with leopard op. If I try to re-install the older version will my bookmarks still be there?
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6.
Firefox 16 is the last version that runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5.
You would have to update to OS X 10.6 to be able to use current Firefox releases.
Last Firefox for Mac OS X 10.5:

Can i still get the 10.5.8 upgrade from 10.3.9
Can i still get the 10.5.8 upgrade from 10.3.9 and will this help preformance
Ok, PowerBook G4's came with 10.3, and the maximum OS it can handle is 10.5.8
There is no security updates for PowerPC on 10.5 since July 2011, (but there was for 10.5.8 on Intel processors just a few days ago.)
So your course of action is to buy a 10.5 Leopard retail disk at Amazon or elsewhere.
Backup data off the machine, hold the c key down and boot, erase and install should do the best for performance, also your skipping 10.4, then Software Update fully.
Won't be secure for anything online, so don't use it for that. You should still be able to find some PowerPC based software if you look hard enough as there is still 16.5% of users on 10.5 and 40% on 10.6 (Intel processors only) which can run PowerPC based software via emulation.
I can't tell you what the performance would be on your machine, but if you don't like it I guess your could reinstall 10.3 again, don't know if you will get any security updates or not.
They don't make laptops like yours anymore, the new Mac laptops last about 4-5 years and they crap out. Got the weakest keyboards too. -

Yes you can avail the discounted prices even you are upgrading the product just for two users. You can use the serial number for your Creative Suite 5 product.

Can I still get the support of the first gen iPhone if I buy Applecare?
Can I still get the support of the first generation iPhone if I buy Applecare? If I can't then can it be replaced by Apple?
Sorry, but you cannot buy AppleCare after the original one year warranty on your iPhone expired. If your phone is damaged you can purchase an exchange for a refurbished one.
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -
If my MAC book pro is not under warranty any more can i still send it back to apple to get it repaired
Yes, but you should consider this.
A: Laptops usually last only about 4 years.
So if you take your investment into the machine + add any software that can't be transferred to a new machine and divide that by 4, you'll get the per year value.
Take that and estimate how many years of value you have left, then judge if the repair is going to be worth getting that remaining few years left or not.
For instance if you have $2800 invested in a machine, that's $700 a year and it's 3 years old, that means it's likely to have only $700 of value left, so it makes little sense to spend a lot to get that remaining $700. Sell it for parts and apply the funds to a new machine.
I suspect you upgraded a older machine to 10.7 and it likely killed it.

Can I still get the free upgrade to WIndows 7 that Lenovo offered when I purchased?
I purchased in July 2010 (so my warranty ran out in July 2011) and had to get Windows XP Pro because we were running an application that would not yet run Windows 7. They have finally worked it out, and I'm ready to move to 7 - can I still get this from Lenovo? Was it by any chance loaded on this machine (SL410 - 2842-GCU) for me to upgrade? Thanks for any advice.
MattI tried to find the system specs from the model number you gave,there seems to be a typo error. You can check here if yours came with Win7 and order it from lenovo for a nominal fee

HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?
That could be a problem, unfortunately.
But most likely the pages you were on are stored in the History list. Try pressing Cmd+Shift+H to get the History window.
To help prevent this from happening to you again in the future, I can recommend the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/ Session Manager]. It is quite powerful but may not be able to help you any more than the History at this point.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems. -
Where can I still get Snow leopard
Where can I still get OS X 10.6 to upgrade my OS X 10.5.8?
As far as I know, the only way to buy Snow leopard now is through Apple; you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for a family version and a reduced price of $19 plus tax for a single user copy.

I have iCloud for my iPhone, my daughters iphone and 2 of my ipads and have purchased the max amount of storage I can but still get a message saying i don't have enough space to store anymore. Do I need to put each device on their own account?

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.
