Upgrading the speed and other stuff on mac air

hello i was wondering how i can make my early 09 mac air faster since i cant upgrade rams also can i upgrade the internal fan video card anything? thank you

The Air cannot be upgraded. The CPU and RAM are mounted directly on the logic board and it has no graphics card - it uses a graphics subsystem that is part of the CPU. A larger hard drive can be installed but that is the only hardware upgrade possible. If your Air has a standard hard drive upgrading to an SSD would offer some speed increase but I'm not sure that is a cost efficient solution. If your hard drive is more than 85-90% full, deleting some old/unused files could make things a bit better. Certainly returning to Snow Leopard would give your computer a big speed bump.

i have a mac mini mid 2011, this device have; 2,3GHz and 2 Gb Memmory.I want to upgrade the memory and i need the list of supported memory modules. i am from turkey.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The Mid 2011 Mac mini supports 8 GB of memory officially, but you can install up to 16 GB of RAM, so you can use 2, 4 and 8 GB modules. You can buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial.
If you are looking for memory at a local shop, make sure you buy 1333 MHz DDR3 memory. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4432?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Try as I may, Safari just doesn't add up to the speed and perfromance of Firefox on my 2010 Summer iMac. Is it just me or do others see the "lag" on Safari?

Try as I may, Safari just doesn't add up to the speed and perfromance of Firefox on my 2010 Summer iMac. Is it just me or do others see the "lag" on Safari? I'd love to use Safari as my main browser--simply because over the last four years I have migrated from everything PC to everything Mac--however, Safari to me just doesn't cut it compared to Firefox on my iMax ( IE is worse). Anybody else feel the same?

Extensions:
Safari Preferences pull-down menu (upper left) > Preferences > Extensions
That will show you what you have.

TS2446 If i create a new apple id account on my ipod, will i still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that i downloaded and bought with my old account or will i loose everything; will i be able to still do the updates to those apps?

If I create a new apple id account on my ipod, will I still have all my music, apps, books and other stuff on my ipod that I downloaded and bought with my old account or will I loose everything; will I be able to still do the updates to those apps?
I really need help!

I don't think you understood what I wrote. You don't HAVE to pay for everything if you are happy with using the other account for updates, etc. But if you don't want to do that then you will have to buy new copies of everything for the new account. There's only one purchase item per account, but you can redownload an item in the account many times.
The idea is this:
One computer, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
One user, multiple devices, one Apple ID.
The basic idea is that each user has an Apple ID under which he/she can manage multiple devices on a single computer.
Once you step outside of that model you create such problems as not being able to use or update apps purchase under one Apple ID when using a different Apple ID. Or not being able to easily sync one device on more than one computer.

I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (games, Instagram),

I know that iCloud backs-up apps and other stuff to your phone incase you want restore from a back-up if you start a New iPhone. My question is if I start a new iPhone (not use the restore from back-up option) and redownload apps like (Games, Instagram), would my pics show up on Instagram and would my Games show it was saved and the acccomplisments will remain from the last place I left out.

Icloud or itunes backup, only backs up app data, not the app itself.
so if you restore as new, then there is no app data on your phone, you start out new...

I had to replace my i4s with another one from the apple store.shouldn't i be able to go to the cloud to get all my contact info and other stuff that was stored in the cloud from the first phone?

i had to replace my i4s phone with another one from the apple store. i need to download all my contact info and other stuff from the cloud to my new phone.i see a screen that says RESTORE I PHONE and are you sure you want to restore the iphone to its facory settings? all of your media and other data will be erased. they i tunes will verify restore with apple. After this you will have the option to restore your contacts and other settins. The question is will it restore my first phones info? I am hesitant to delete anything lol.

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:

I remember that with Snow Leopard you could download them from the Apple website.
Cheers!

Read the Boot Camp Documentation while you run Boot Camp Assistant to download the Windows Support Software which was the first step in the Boot Camp Setup procedure.

They hacked it and may have caused damage to your device. Jailbreaking also voids your warranty and support from Apple. To restore to a clean state, restore in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Hi, i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. what about the update for Flash Player?

Hi,
i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
I realy need some advice.
Thank's to all.

Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

Can't print from the internet but other stuff I can

I have had my printer for about 4 months now and everything has been fine until the other day when it stopped printing from the internet. Now that I think about it, it's about the same time I put new ink in. But I can print from Word and other stuff. I even pulled up the printer in Devices and Printers and did a test page and everything was fine. I have an HP Envy 4501 (Print Scan Copy Photo). I use Chrome for my internet and like I said, I've never had a problem in the past with it.
I downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it said everything was good. When I select to have my email printed, it opens it in a new window and then it does the print display for me and I have to select 'Print using system dialog...(Ctrl+Shift+P)' and then it opens the print window. It has my printer selected, I hit print and nothing happens. My printer icon appears down by my clock in the lower right hand corner of my computer and when I hover over it, it says '(1) document pending for Missy' but then nothing happens and a few seconds later it changes to '(0) document pending for Missy'. ????
What am I doing wrong?? Help please!!!

Hi MissyDub,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are having a problem printing from Google Chrome, where the print job is shown, but then leaves the queue. I would be happy to assist you with this issue!
It sounds as though the issue is isolated to Google Chrome. To restore the browser settings (and printing settings) for Chrome you can uninstall and reinstall the software. If you are using a Mac, you can follow this document. If you are using a Windows computer, you can follow this document.
If that is still giving you trouble, you can also (contact Chrome Support) to find out if further assistance is necessary with their program.
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums, and I will look forward to your reply!
