Stuck in the past with 10.6.8

Are there any options for those of us who have older MacBooks (13-inch late 2007), who need to upgrade to a higher OS X version, but cannot because the latest version is incompatible?
I'm at the point now where some of the software I need to download will not run on 10.6.8. I did not upgrade to 10.7, and now I'm three versions behind. I cannot afford a new MacBook.

You can still upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion.
system requirements for OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6.
OS X Lion system requirements
To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.
You can purchase an email code to download and install Lion from the Mac App Store.

I would advise installing more RAM into your MacBook as versions of OS X after Snow Leoaprd really require, at least 4 GBs of RAM.
Your MacBook year and model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM.
I'd advise purchasing and installing the full 6 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sourceOWC (macsales.com).
They are the only RAM seller that have the 6 GB RAM kit for your MacBook.
Good Luck!

  • Last night i was downloading the new update for the Iphone, and after the download was done and trying to install, it errored out.  And now my phone is stuck on the screen with the itunes icon and the USB.

    Last night i was downloading the new update for the Iphone4 on my laptop through Itunes.  After the download was done, it was starting to install, and then an error came up and didnt get a chance to check it.  Now my Iphone is stuck on the screen with the USB pointing to the Itunes Icon and wont do anything else.  Any advice on how to get this fixed, or do i need to go to the Apple store and have them look at it.

  • I just finished downloading and attempting the install of ios 7 on my iPhone 5.  I'm using the newest version of iTunes.  And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug.  But no matter what recovery mode wont work

    I just finished downloading and attempting the install of ios 7 on my iPhone 5.  I'm using the newest version of iTunes. 
    And now, I'm stuck at the screen with the iTunes logo and the plug.  But no matter how many times I try, recovery mode will not work.  My phone is currently useless unless I can figure this out.

    No problem, glad to help!
    Update: my PC USB hub was connected to a USB 3 port, I connected the 30 pin cable directly to my PC, And the restore worked just fine. Restored phone from iCloud backup and seems to be working fine.

  • Inventory status for a date in the PAST with BATCHES with VALUE

    Hi,
    How can I get a status REPORT of all inventory as on a date in the PAST with BATCH numbers and VALUE?
    The following ready reports do not solve my problem:
    1. Inventory Status: This gives CURRENT date inventory QUANTITY only.
    2. Inventory in Warehouse Report: This gives CURRENT date only, no BATCHES.
    3. Inventory Audit Report: Doe not give BATCH numbers and ignores qty without transactions.
    4. Inventory Valuation Report: Meant for "what-if" only.
    5. Inventory Posting List: Does NOT give BATCH numbers
    6. Batch Number Transactions Report: Doe NOT give VALUE.
    I suppose an SQL will be required for this requirement?
    Thanks,
    Ajay Audich

    Hi Rozario,
    Thanks for the pointer. Could you or anyone of the gurus out there have a code for doing this which will achieve this?
    Thanks,

  • My network symbol keeps working on my home page even when I'm not doing anything, I know there has been problems in the past with this so has it come back, help it's killing my battery!

    My network symbol keeps working on my home page even when I'm not doing anything, I know there has been problems in the past with this so has it come back, help it's killing my battery!

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Itunes stuck in the past

    Itunes seems to be stuck in the past--August 18th to be specific. Every time I turn off itunes then restart it, it deletes all my podcasts and music that have been added since August 18th. It also takes 10min or more to boot up. I updated to the lastest version of itunes thinking that might help, but alas, no difference.
    Any thoughts?

    The tmp files and the .itl files are in the My Music\iTunes folder.
    Within the My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Podcasts folder there are four folders of podcasts, which seems strange because I subsribe to at least 12 different podcasts.
    How do I solisit help from B. Noir?
    Again, thank you for your help.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on anoterh computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • With new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did in the past with iPhoto.

    With the new Photos app, I can no longer drag and drop photos into other applications as I did with iPhoto.  For instance, I have a photo collage app that in the past, I could just drag in the photos I wanted to include.  Now, I can DRAG the photos, but they do not DROP.  So, I have to go through the export process.  It is tedious.  What am I missing?  Where can I turn on the drag and drop feature for Photos?

    YOu're not looking in the right palce. That's inside the iPhoto Application.
    You need to look inside the iPhoto Library
    As I sid above:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there

  • Stuck In the Mud with First EJB

    I am using the apress 'Beginning Java EE, from Novice to Professional' book. In its first EJB example it attempts to create am extremely simple stateless session bean. There are two classes and a remote interface as follows;
    package beans;
    import javax.ejb.Remote;
    @Remote
    public interface SimpleSession
    public String getEchoString(String clientString);
    package beans;
    import javax.ejb.Stateless;
    @Stateless
    public class SimpleSessionBean implements SimpleSession {
    public String getEchoString(String clientString) {
    return clientString + " - from session bean";
    package client;
    import beans.SimpleSession;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    public class SimpleSessionClient {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
    SimpleSession simpleSession
    = (SimpleSession) ctx.lookup(SimpleSession.class.getName());
    for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
    String returnedString = simpleSession.getEchoString(args);
    System.out.println("sent string: " + args[i] +
    ", received string: " + returnedString);
    The directory structure is;
    SimpleSessionApp
    |-beans
    |-SimpleSession
    |-SimpleSessionBean
    |-client
    |-SimpleSessionClientThe tells you to add the following to your classpath;
    set CLASSPATH=.;C:\jboss\lib\concurrent.jar;
    C:\jboss\lib\jboss-common.jar;
    c:\jboss\client\jboss-j2ee.jar;
    c:\jboss\lib\commons-httpclient.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\lib\jboss.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\lib\jboss-remoting.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\lib\jboss-transaction.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\lib\jnpserver.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\deploy\ejb3.deployer\jboss-ejb3.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\deploy\ejb3.deployer\jboss-ejb3x.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\deploy\jboss-aop.deployer\
    jboss-aop.jar;
    C:\jboss\server\all\deploy\jboss-aop.deployer\
    jboss-aspect-library.jar
    The next step is to compile the java source  code;
    javac -d . client/*.java
    javac -d . beans/*.javaAfter this you create an ejb3 jar;
    jar cf SimpleSessionApp.ejb3 beans\*.javaAnd deploy this jar to your jboss deploy directory while jboss is running. Once this is done you run the client with the following arguments and switches while inside the client directory of SimpleSessionApp;
    java
    -Djava.naming.factory.initial=
    org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
    -Djava.naming.factory.url.pkgs=
    org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
    -Djava.naming.provider.url=
    localhost client.SimpleSessionClient
    Now is the time for all good men
    After having done all of this I get the following error
    +Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main+
    why is this? This is my first attempt at creating an ejb and I'm totally lost. Any help would be appreciated.

  • I have been fooled in the past with bad downloads but not from Mozilla Firefox have you sent this ????????

    No, Mozilla doesn't send such a alert, so don't get fooled by it.
    If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
    *Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
    *Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

  • So last week... iMac stuck in the past, refuses to update web content!

    Hello,
    I posted a couple of questions elsewhere but realize now they may be related.
    Since I installed OS 10.4.10, my iMac has been having problems updating some web pages and widget content.
    For example, the Wimbledon.org home page is stuck on "Day 2 - Tuesday June 26" every time I open it using either Safari 3.0.2 or Firefox 2.0.0.4 (the same page on other computers normally shows today's date). Reloading does not help. More generally, for news sites, I need to constantly reload almost every page to get recent content, otherwise, it usually shows results from my last visit.
    Also, my Apple Weather widget is giving me weather from last Friday or even earlier. I can check new cities with up-to-date forecast, but checking my regular cities like New York, NY continuously returns weather info and forecast from last week.
    This sounds like a cache issue, so here is what I have done so far:
    - Empty all caches (system, internet, kernel, dashboard, etc...) using Onyx as well as manually trashing folders
    - Running the maintenance scripts
    - Repair permissions and verify disks: all OK
    - De-installing Safari 3.0.2 and reinstalling it (though the issue also affects Firefox)
    - Deinstalling and reinstalling the Weather widget
    - Refresh all windows and widgets using command-R or shift-click reload.
    - Trashing preferences for Safari and widgets
    Nothing helped. Moreover, I have no third party extension on Safari.
    The exact same configuration on another computer (MacBook) seems to work fine now, though the first two days after OS 10.4.10 installation had some of the issues described above.
    It looks like my computer does not want to age and refuses to update some web content!
    Any suggestions, other than what I have already done? Should I try reverting to OS 10.4.9 or is there a fix?
    Thanks,
    Sacha

    Hi Sacha - there have been a lot of problems after updating to 10.4.10, a reliable fix is to perform an Archive and Install and then use the 10.4.9 combo updater to revert to 10.4.9.
    This generally fixes all problems, and is pretty painless to do.

  • My macbook will not start up. It gets stuck on the page with the apple and the pinwheel. Can anyone assist?

    My macbook will not start up. It gets stuck on teh opening page with the apple. It was working fine and all of a sudden i cant get it to work. Does anyone know what could be wrong with it? Or, is there a bypass to the start up page?

    You won't lose your files unless something goes very wrong -- which may already have happened. You absolutely must have a backup before you do anything else. If you don't already have one, boot from your installation disc and follow the instructions in this article under "Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility":
