Upgread MAC OS X 10.4 to MAX OS X 10.6

Ich möchte mein MacBook 2Ghz, 2Gb-RAM, Ser. Nr. 4H6263YVU9E von Mac OS 10.4 letzte Version möglichst auf OS 10.5 oder OS 10.6 "umrüsten" und habe folgende Fragen dazu:
1. Welche Version von Mac OS läuft auf obigem MacBook?
2. Bis zu welcher Version von Mac OS X kann ich ein Upgrad vornehmen?
3. Ist eine Lösung einer Neuinstallation möglich und bis welche Version von Mac OS X?
4. Wie hoch wären ca. die jeweiligen Kosten?
Danke und Gruß aus Frankfurt - Main

You need the retail Leopard install disc (which is black, with an 'X' on it).
I understand they can still be obtained from Apple by calling customer services, but the price will be the same as when Leopard was first introduced - about $130.
There are usually a few available on Amazon Marketplace, but at inflated prices.
You cannot use a grey disc 'borrowed' from another Mac.
Leopard 10.5.8 is as far as a PPC Mac can be upgraded; Snow Leopard and later require Intel processors.

I am looking to get a new 13 inch mac book pro, what is the max RAM that I can install. I know configured from Apple is 8 GB, but can I put 16 GB after?

i am looking to get a new 13 inch mac book pro, what is the max RAM that I can install. I know configured from Apple is 8 GB, but can I put 16 GB after?

Yes, you can install 16GB in your new macbook pro.
Go here (OWC) and here (Crucial) to give you options on how much you want to spend.
Good luck.

I got my first mac and wonder what is the max ram capacity?

This is my first mac and I gotten it for school for my animation and visual effects. Since they like using tutorials that uses a lot of mac commands instead of windows so I am doing this so I can easily follow along. I gotten a Apple iMac MD063L from newegg it is coming with 8gb of ram and just wonder if it can go higher like what is the max it could do? I just want to make sure it can handle programs like Maya, adobe after effects but primarily Maya and related programs. When it comes to rendering a project.

That partial part number relates to 3 different refurbished 27" iMacs at NewEgg. All 3 can be upgraded to 32GB of ram. Only buy ram from either OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/ or Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ and avoid the bargain basement brands sold by other vendors. They're all mid 2011 models I believe.

Mac Mini 2014 4k display 60Hz max resolution

Hello,
I can read in the infos for the new iMac 2014 that is possible to use 2 x 27" Apple Displays over thunderbolt.
My question is, what is the max resolution what you can use with one Display.
Is it possible to use a Mac Mini with a LG 34UC97 with a resolution 3.440 x 1.440 60Hz with thunderbolt.
The HDMI supports only 30 Hz.
Thx
Jayybird

you can be right, not officially, but for now:
"On a late 2013 13" MBP/Retina, using SwitchResX, I was able to get the ASUS PB287Q to drive 4K (1920x1060 pixel-doubled "HiDPI") at 45Hz, rather than the max 30Hz offered through the standard Display Prefs pane.
Here's how: I created a custom resolution by copying the 1920x1060 HiDPI 30Hz, and then set its vertical sync to 45Hz (and rebooted as required by SwitchResX). The 45Hz refresh rate is now available in the Display Prefs control panel, and the ASUS OSD confirms we are operating at 45Hz.
Before getting 45 to work, I also tried 50 - but even after reboot it was marked as "invalid" so I suppose I'm maxed out.
45Hz isn't 60, but it is much better than 30."

How do upgread mac 10.5.8 to 10.6

how do upgrade macbook 10.5.8 to 10.6. i have mac os x 10.6.1
but ti sad

To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US). Snow Leopard costs $20, or $30 for a five user license. Do not obtain Snow Leopard from any source other than Apple.
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of memory (RAM) (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools

Can i install creative cloud in both mac and PC? up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud?

Hiya, i am new to the latest version of creative cloud. Wonder if i can install creative cloud in both mac and PC? And up to how many computers can i install the creative cloud? If I am going to graduate in a few months time, can I still use student discount to purchase the one year package and pay it off in one go? Thanks! !

Sure , you can install on both Mac as well as PC .
Max activation allowed = 2 computers.
Student discounted price will be valid for one year.
Later you can purchase with different Adobe ID , with valid proof of eligibility .
Once you had purchased yearly prepaid subscription , it will not expire for another one whole year , whether you are still student or finished graduation. It will expire after year.

I have a mac mini 10.6.8 which through bt infinity wirless connection I get 18.5 mgb on an I phone I get 37.8 can I configure my mac to get the same

My mac mini will only get a max of 18mgb through a bt infinity hub 3 yet standing at the side of my mini I can get 37.5 on an apple iphone, is it possible to get the same connection on my mac. The hub has been replaced and the wiring checked, using an ether net connection I can get 37.5 but it's not really practicable to use this type of connection

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying Wifi.

Mac Pro (First Generation) problem with 1TB Seagate Barracuda

Hi Macianer,
I have a first generation Mac Pro which was sold with max. 750GB Hard drives for each bay. At this time I am grabbing for straws and maybe someone has any info on this problem.
I purchased 4 x 1TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives ( Model: ST31000340AS / Firmware: SD15 ), did a regular format after I purchased them ( GUID Partition Table, Journaled HFS+ File System). I am using 2 of them internally (they get quite hot and i didn't want to put all 4 of them in there) and two of them externally (backup purposes). The other two internal bays are covered by 2x 500GB Barracuda drives.
I put all four 1 TB hard drived through a 1 week stress test to make sure I am not dealing with bad apples. So far this practice served me well.
Now 2 weeks later one completely crashed (internal boot drive). It sounded to spin up alright but was not accessible at all. I went to BestBuy and GeekSquad said this drive is crashed and I returned it.
Since I had a backup I didn't worry too much. I put the back up hard drive in as the new boot drive (since it was a SuperDuper duplicat) it worked like a charm. Now the second hard drive starts temporarily freezing the system for 2-4 minutes and seems to get stuck showing the great colored ball of doom. After the freeze it continues to operate normal again and I am able to continue my work.
I ran the Disk Utility and I got the following message:
INVALID KEY LENGTH
VOLUME CHECK FAILED.
ERROR: FILESYSTEM VERIFY OR REPAIR FAILED.
It just seems weird, I never had problems with hard drives and now I get these problems with 3-4 week old hard drives.
I was in a chat with seagate support. First question to trouble shoot: Do you have access to a PC. My answer was no since Microsoft Vista I donated all of them to the Salvation Army. He asked if I formatted the hard drives low level and MBR with HFS+. I said since I do not have access to PC nor do I plan on using my hard drives for PC I formatted it regular with GUID and HFS+. I asked if there is any history of these drives that would help explain my experience. I was hoping for a recall or something of that sort or something that a firmware upgrade would remedy.
I guess my question is, is the first generation Mac Pro, even though it seems to format and run them fine, not able to handle 1TB hard drives on a daily basis. Or am I dealing with hard drive problems? The Seagate guy didn't seem to be of any help.
Any help is appreciated or even pointers that would help me in finding the problem.
Cheers,

Excellent questions, I too am looking at SSD.
Some things I know about SSD:
1. Intel recently released new firmware for their SSD drives to improve long term performance including Trim/Garbage collection.
2. SSD drives can be setup as SLC or MLC - SLC is faster read 2X, write 4X over MLC, however SLC is smaller capacity. SLC also has a longer life span.
3. Intel plans to have an 320GB X25-M (MLC) and a 128GB X25-E (SLC) out soon.
OSX does not fully support Trim and I'm not aware of any 3rd party software for OSX that helps in the garbage collection area. Diskeeper 2010 for Windows 7 provides full support for all variants of SSD, but nothing on the Mac side.
I'm probably going to wait for 2010 to see what comes out, SSD appears to be good news, but it still also seems to have issues. Given the cost of these drivers and the frequent firmware updates, a wait and see is my choice.
I've thought about going with a SAS RAID controller and 15K RAID drivers, but the cost/performance ratio comes out about the same and the 15K drives are noisey and power hungry but they're a "known" entity.

Mac Performa 405 Won't Boot

I have a Mac Performa 405 that won't boot. It's running Mac OS 7.6.1 with maxed out RAM & VRAM. I have installed a networking card with optional Motorola 68882 FPU in the LC PDS slot. It has a Revision B LC II logic board. I have already tried replacing the power supply. I also updated Open Transport to v. 1.1.2. My next move is going to be trying to replace the fan. The Mac won't even bong. What should I do to get my Mac working again? Is the hard drive dead?

Update: I have swapped the RAM in my Performa 405 out for the RAM that originally came with it. This resulted in some very odd things happening. The RAM I was using before was parity memory. The RAM I found in the Mac when it was given to me was non parity. The RAM I had in the RAM slots before had three memory chips. The RAM I found in the Mac originally only had two RAM chips. Swapping the RAM also appears to have affected the logic board too. Now polarity on the fan plug as measured with my digital multimeter has changed. Before when the parity memory was installed the plug at the left was negative & the middle plug was positive. Changing back to the original non parity RAM changed the polarity of the logic board's fan connector so that now the middle plug is negative & the plug on the right is positive. I was also wondering what other tests I should perform too. The Mac also now bongs & is acting more normally than before.

Upgrading PowerMac G4 to the MAX for video production?????

I need to know if I can just upgrade my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics) to the max for video production? I'll be using 4 main programs.
1. Final Cut Studio 2
2. After Affects
3. Protools
4. Photoshop CS 3
Final Cut recommends this for all applications:
* 2GB of RAM when working with compressed HD and uncompressed SD sources
* 4GB of RAM when working with uncompressed HD sources
Here are my computer stats:
Machine Model: PowerMac3,1
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 450 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 3.2.2f1
Can anyone please help? This is my first mac.

Hey DJ,
I'm thinking that, for those specific needs, dollars are better thrown at a newer model than upgrades for your existing one. Here's why:
1) You do not have native support for large hard drives, something that's nice for video work. You'd have to spend money on a PCI adaptor card to add that support. Figure US$40-100.
2) Your video card is likely not up to the task unless it's already been upgraded. Another $70-250 depending on how good a scrounger you are.
3) You need a minimum 1.25Ghz G4 processor and, if you get the upgrade, who's to say if the next version of FC will still support a G4? 1.2G processor upgrades start at over $200 and faster ones are up to $700 (OWC pricing for new gear).
4) You can't stick more than 2G RAM in your computer.
And, after all the upgrades, you still have the basic bus speed limitation inherent in all G4s.
Bottom line is that you can quickly invest enough to buy a faster used Mac. Examples of used G5 prices (usually at the top of the price scale) are here. Even an entry level G5 should be much faster than a fully upgraded G4.
Don't get me wrong--I'm an upgrader and love to do it regardless of cost. In this case, I see the potential for ending up with an upgraded computer that struggles at its intended task and could be obsoleted by the next upgrade of the software.

Mobility groups and MAC filtering

We have a 4402 controller and we are doing MAC filtering. We have reached the default number of MAC addresses, 512. It has been recommended that we add an additional controller instead of increasing this past the default. Three questions:
1. Is there an increased (enough to impact performance) load placed on the WLC if the limit of MACs is increased, say to the max of 2048?
2. If we add an additional controller, configured in a mobility group, how do we configure the MAC filter to load balance? Or do we have to configure the same MAC table on both controllers? Which leads to....
3. Is there a benefit to adding another controller as far as MAC filtering is concerned?

As it stands, you would need to manually replicate internal mac filtering database between two controllers, so you're not gaining much with the second controller. As regards to increasing database size and what effects it will have, I don't have an educated answer for you, sorry.
Regards,
Roman

WRT610N - slow wireless transfer betwen 2 Macs

I have 2 MacBook Pros running OS X 10.5.6, both connected on 5Ghz channel 36, 270 Mbps transmit rate, both Macs in the same room as the WRT610N. When transferring files wirelessly between the Macs using AFP file sharing, it maxes out around 2.3 MBytes/s, which is about 19 Mbps, obviously nowhere near the 270 Mbps max link speed. If I connect the 2 Macs using Ethernet, I can get 60-80MBytes/s transfer over AFP.
Is there some setting in the WRT610N config that needs to be modified to improve 802.11n transfer speeds?

pnikolsky, appreciate your response. you're doing a transfer between a wireless client and a device connected directly to the router via gigabit ethernet. i would assume that would be faster than transfers between 2 wireless clients. however even 6 MByte/s seems slow for your setup. i would expect your setup to get 12-16 MByte/s.
also, based on 8 years of using various wireless routers (dlink, netgear, linksys), i know that changing beacon interval, dtim, thresholds, etc. has no major effect on transfer speeds. you really only need to play with those settings if you're having connection problems to the router itself, which i'm not fortunately.
thanks for responding anyways.

Running Premiere on a Mac Pro 1.1

I currently run a Mac Pro 1.1 that's maxed out with OSX 10.6.8. My system will not be able to support the most current Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2014) which states it needs 10.8 or higher. The previous Premiere version worked great when I downloaded a trial version a few years ago, but can I still purchase/download this older version of Premiere for my Mac? I'm not planning on purchasing a new Mac for another 2 years. The 1.1 still works wonderfully. Thanks!

I'm trying to install the 30-day trial version of Photoshop Elements 13 on my Mac

I'm trying to install the 30-day trial version of Photoshop Elements 13 on my Mac. I keep getting the following msg:
OS requirement not met:
-Current OS : Mac 10.7.5 64 bit
- Max OS 10.8.0 or above required
I'm running on OS X 10.7.5, so will I be unable to run Photoshop Elements 13?

That is correct Mfrazier65. Photoshop Elements 13 requires Mac OS 10.8 or later. You can find a list of the system requirements at System requirements | Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Iomega Ultra Max Hard Drive does not mount

It worked splendidly for many months, but suddenly my Ultra Max will no longer mount on my iMac G5 with OS X 10.4.11, nor on my old iBook or new iBookPro. It is not listed in Finder.
In its final few weeks it was first listed in finder and would work for half an hour or so and then suddenly disconnect out of the blue. But now it is, apparently, even worse.
I went to the iomega support page, followed the suggested procedure of clicking the Apple icon, then About this mac, and finally found the Ultra Max listed under the FireWire arrow. There it lists as file system HFS+. Presumably I therefore do not have to (re-)format the hard drive.
What could it be?

There is indeed something wonky with those models (I have the 750 GB one). I am in the process of having it fixed/replaced now, but here is an interesting bit of news:
- Apple refers me to Iomega for the return and service
- Iomega accepts the case and will replace the unit
- I pack and ship the unit, which costs me around 60 EUR (from Norway to The Netherlands, including customs-processing fee)
- Iomega informs me they do not cover shipping
- Apple Store informs me that they will not cover shipping, since the product (in their world) is out of warranty (which it isn't)
Now - what do I do about those 60 EUR I paid for shipping the unit? If this was any other Norwegian internet computer store, they would have covered the shipping for me -- it is the LAW, they have to -- since the product is under warranty. But, since Apple tells me "No, Iomega handles their own support, you have to talk to them" I had to, and when they don't want to pay for the shipping.. well.. what do I do? I could have bought a new (and bigger) drive for the cost of just returning the unit for repairs.
I am aware that the Apple Store continously is hammered for being "customer alienating", but I have never had such an dissapointing experience as a consumer. Ever.
