https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295 will answer most questions about moving to a 2006 or later Macs.
All newer Macs have built-in 802.11n WiFi starting in 2007.
Office 2008 is not the latest, Office 2011 is newer.   http://www.neooffice.org/ and http://www.openoffice.org are free alternatives if upgrading to Office 2011 is found to be needed for certain things and you can't afford the upgrade right away.  Several mobile phone options are available for Macs depending on which operating system you get.  Check with your carrier.
If you buy new, all new Macs carry 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 minimum, as 10.8.4 was just released, where 10.8.3 was released back in March.  iPads are not Macs, and come with some version of iOS 6.
Compatible software is listed on Roaring Apps when it comes MacBook Air, and Mac Mini. iPads use a different operating system, and have a different App store.  Mac Mini has no stand alone power.  MacBook Air and iPad have built-in batteries that can operate stand alone or plugged into the wall.  The batteries are not easy for end users to remove under warranty.  MacBook Air can take any screen that can adapt to DVI, HDMI, or Displayport, and so can Mac Mini.  VGA displays are too low in resolution.   While there are adapters for iPads, they aren't able to support as high a resolution for external display.

  • Permission problems after upgrade to 10.5 on early Power PC G5 Tower

    Permissions problems after upgrading to 10.5 on a client power PC (early) G5 tower.
    Problems include folders that are created on XServe via this client do not allow any one else including this client to access. All other clients running 10.5, which happen to be newer Intel machines do not have this problem. Repairing permissions, updating to 10.5.1, try to manually correct permissions have all failed to repair the situation. All clients log onto the XServe with the same user/password. This client has since been downgraded back to 10.4.9 and has no issues.
    The Xserve runs 10.3.9, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    We have read through the forums regarding permission problems after upgrading and even tried some tips found here.

    You really should check things out first before speaking.
    Here are the requirements for 10.5;
    Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard requires:
    A Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or Power PC G4 (867 MHz or faster) processor
    512 MB memory or more
    A DVD drive for installation
    9 GB of available disk space or more
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider, fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple's MobileMe service; fees apply.

  • Help! I need to upgrade my Dell Optiplex GX260 (tower) power supply!

    Hi,
    I plan on taking a trip to Best Buy today to purchase a video card and power supply for my Dell Optiplex GX260 (tower).  I am looking to get at least a 500W power supply.  Can you tell me the BEST power supply that will work/fit that Best Buy sells?  Thanks very much.

    I see that you posted back in March of 2009 so I hope that you haven't already fried a motherboard or PSU while learning the hardway, as I feel that I almost did. We have a Dell GX260 that my daughter wants to play some games on but I found out that the Graphic Card (ATI Radeon 7500 series) was not good enough for the games that she wants to play so I decided to upgrade the graphic card, unfortunately I found out that a lot of newer cards have PCI-Express connectors and not the PCI I need. As well, I found out that most of the PCI cards above what I have need more than the 250Watt power supply that I have. So I thought, why not just upgrade my my PSU and then I found out that Dell actually rewires their PSU differently than the industry standard ATX connectors but I see a lot of post and recommendations from people that say that you can use any store bought PSU to upgrade your Optiplex GX260 but BEWARE that if you bought your system after late 1998 then you have a Dell system that has their own proprietary wiring configuaration and even though you can buy a standard ATX PSU at bestbuy and it will seem to fit properly, it will either fry your new PSU or worse yet, it will fry your motherboard as well.  In fact, I went to bestbuy three days ago and bought a graphic card and the salesman told me that if my PSU was not at least 300Watt, which is what the card required, that I can come back and buy a standard PSU from them and that would fix the problem. The salesman even knew that I had a Dell System so I wonder if BestBuy would be willing to replace my motherboard if I had fried it based on what the bestbuy salesman told me to do???? Anyway, read this link http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=339053 and see what you think!!  I am glad I stumbled across the information and plan on upgrading my PSU with a compatible Dell PSU or look for a Dell Converter (if there is such a cable) or just replace both my PSU and Motherboard as directed.  I also think I might actually build my next PC from scratch with all industry standard parts, as I was very ignorant up until now that Dell was doing this to their products and I have 3 of their systems in my house....but no more!!! I did find a Dell compatible PSU 500 Watt on PCPower.com but it comes with SATA drive connectors and my Optiplex GX260 has IDE connectors so I don't know if I can get a SATA to IDE conversion or not but as you can see I am still researching my options. I might actually find it will be cheaper to just buy a new system or build the one of my dreams!!  
    I know I wrote a lot but I hope that this information is helpful to someone else out there who is in the same boat as me.

  • Upgrades For Dual 1.8GHz G5 Power Mac

    Hi
    I have just bought a power mac g5 and i am confused with what some of the other posts are saying about ram. The spec is 1.8 GHz Dual Processor, 1GB Ram (8x128MB Chips), 64MB graphics card. I am looking to upgrade my ram to at least 2 GB. Is the spec i need ddr pc3200 400MHz 184 pin, as this seems to be expensive? i am also looking at upgrading the optical drive so it can read/write dual layer discs, i have found 1 on ebay with lightscribe aswell. should this be ok?
    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=35 0227215181
    i am also after onboard bluetooth and wireless. i already have a d-link bluetooth usb but would prefer the bluetooth card and antenna. is it one combined card? is it possible to get a wireless n card with this model?

    If you want you can get some upgrades from OWC In wookstock, Illinois in the usa . I see you are from the uk that maybe to far for you .What do you want yo upgrade first . I would do the graphics card, but I would get the nvidia 6800 gt or better . they go for about 200 dollars in the us , I dont no how much thats in pounds . But www.owc.com is a good place to look and ebay .

  • Upgrade options for my new old Power Mac G4?

    So I just got a free Power Mac G4 MDD. It has dual G4 1.25 GHz cpus, 2 GB RAM, 4x80 GB Seagate Cheetah SCSI hard drives in RAID 0, Airport wireless, 2 Super drives, and a Geforce4 Ti 4600 GPU. It has a fresh install of Tiger, and I am wondering what upgrades are available for it; it feels smooth most of the time, but high res videos on youtube are pretty much unwatchable. I have done some research of my own, and I found a few pci-x cards that look useful, like for SATA ports, Firewire 800, usb 2.0, etc. I have also read about cpu upgrades up to 1.8 Ghz, and that it is possible to flash a pc graphics card to work on a mac, but all of the examples I've seen are with PCI Express graphics cards. Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives? Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac? Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where? And what about overclocking my cpu? I got this for free, and I am willing to pay a few hundred dollars to upgrade it. I know its pretty old, but fixing up and upgrading old computers to there best is a hobby of mine.

    Should I get the Sata card and use faster hard drives?
    PCI or PCI-X controllers provide for good perfomance with SATA drives.
    The Firmtek Seritek cards have excellent compatibility, are bootable to connected drives, and will help provide performance beyond that possible with ATA drives on the native bus.
    BTW, PCI-X cards are backwards compatible to PCI.
    Is there, in your experience, a good graphics card upgrade for my PowerMac?
    The three best options for a MDD are a flashed Radeon 9800 XT, Radeon X800XT (flashed FireGL X3) or flashed Geforce 7800 GS.
    If one upgrades to Leopard, the FireGL/X800 is best.
    In Tiger, the 7800 GS is best.
    Is there a CPU upgrade faster the 1.42 GHz that I can get, and where?
    Sonnet used to make one (MDX Duet), but you'll be hard pressed to find one on eBay or such.
    IMHO, overclocking the 1.42 GHz processor to 1.58 GHz provides for a much more powerful machine.
    Heck, even at 1.42 GHz, the 7445 processor and 2 MB L3 cache are stronger, overall, than the 7447 processor used in the MDX Duet.
    And what about overclocking my cpu?
    http://bitsandpieces.info/Multipliers.htm
    OC'ing the MDD adds to heat issues.
    There are some great mods like this one:

  • Help with using itunes with 4s library after i upgraded to iPhone 5 and computer power supply went

    long story hopefully an easy fix....
    on wensday my power supply went and had to ship computer across country to Puget Computer Systems as we weren't sure if it was power supply or mobo...luckily it was power supply.
    i daily backed up iphone 4s with itunes (10.7) as i do all music manually, playlists, etc. have like 3,000 plus songs, videos, audiobooks, mail aaccts and about 48 apps.
    so next day (sept 19th) apple comes out with iOS 6 which i update my 4s to with no problem. I wanted a day to play with it to learn my way around.
    next day i wait in line for 8 hours overnite and was #2 in line at apple store for my ATT 32gb white iPhone 5. while at apple store I get my icloud backup which gets all paid music,apps, etc since itunes version 10.3 (i always did both backups so as not to lose my contacts more than anything.
    I have other paid stuff that is in library on computer along with audiobooks and about 2700 more songs.
    my icloud backup put the playlists on iPhone but not most of the music for them as lots were ripped from my cd's.as i double them up making a copy on iPhone and a copy on itunes.
    So I have been using iPhone 5 with no problems just don't have all of itunes library on it. My computer is coming back this week how do I plug in iPhone 5 via USB (which will be seen as new phone even though it has same name) and use my existing iTunes 10.7 library which the backups in iTunes still has iOS 5.1.1 on it?
    There must be an easy way of doing it as i don't want to wipe off iphone 5 again as i don't see any purpose my library is all organized perfectly. I know my way around windows 7 pro 64 bit pretty well just don't know what itunes is going to say once it sees "joe's iPhone" again and installs the usb drivers and icon for it. what will it ask in regards to library and how do i use it with previous iOS on it?
    Thank you very much for the help as I am going to need it.
    yes i broke the cardinal rule of cross posting and apoligize  for it just amazed i couldn't find answer via google nor any apple store genius knew it either.

    Hi All,
    Any help?
    No one has any answers here amoungst all this apple knowledge?
    Thank you

  • While upgrading my 3,2 8 core power Mac , it will not boot. Going from 10.8.3 to 10.8.4. There is no visible video after chime.  I need to get up and running ASAP.  Could the video drivers have not loaded. Please help and thank you. Ps. Main drive ssd.

    My new Dell monitor power light pulses as if no video is present

    Thanks for reading and responding

    Update on this issue. I replaced the video card with an old one that I had and it boots fine.
    Question, if a driver were missing from the update process, would I see anything on the screen at all. I had pure black as if no signal was carried to the monitor. I'm trying to rule out hardware failure, as this card is 1.5 years old.
    thanks!!!

  • G4 upgrade now one monitor won't power on

    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT!!
    I put in 2GB of RAM today along with a super combo (DVD, CDRW) drive. I tested the machine with a single monitor at work, it was fine. When I got it home and hooked it up to my dual monitors, only one monitor turns on. The other one won't do anything. Now power to it at all. I tried plugging it directly into the wall, still nothing.
    I switched the cords and everything and the same monitor (the one on left) turns on, but the one on the right doesn't. Can anyone help? When I detect displays, it shows I have two monitors, but I am only getting power to one. I also reset the PRAM, still did not power up my monitor.
    Is there a workaround here or should I send it back? It's under warranty and everything. GoVideo Dual 19" monitors. Has anyone dealt with sending something back to Wal-Mart? Is it fast to get the replacement?

  • Power On VM - Permissions Denied after upgrade to vCenter Server Appliance 6

    After upgrading to vCenter Server 6 from 5.5 some of our users permissions seem to have changed. We have assigned permissions to groups of users at a folder level to manage and see only their VMs. This role allows them to perform common tasks.
    After upgrading, when a user tries ot power on one of their VM's they receive the following error:
    Name: Power On Virtual Machine
    Status: Permission to perform this operation was denied. You do not hold privilege "System > Read" on host ""
    We can resolve the issue by giving the users read only privaledges at the host level and not propogate but this is a lot of work in our environments to perform this on all hosts for our users. Has something changed in vsphere 6?

    I have the same issue with Win vCenter 6.0.0 2656760.
    With 5.5u2 roles work perfectry.
    Role is assigned to a folder with VMs (not hosts or datacenter)
