What is left to upgrade that will improve my MacBook's (2007 - Intel) speed the most?

What is left for me to upgrade that will improve my MacBook's (2007 - Intel) speed the most? I have a 2007 MacBook that has the maximum amount of RAM installed already (2 Gig). I've upgraded to OSX 10.7 also.. It's sometimes sluggish when trying to run Office 2011 or Windows XP under VM Ware Fusion
Thanks,
Jeff

You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.

OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/

I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal for my Apple TV

I have Direct TV with wireless, but a weak wifi signal downstairs. Can I get a Airport (what,kind) that will improve my signal so that my Apple TV will work?

If you have an AirPort Extreme now, an AirPort Express could be added to your network to extend the range of the network.
See the info about Extend an Existing Wireless Network.........http://www.apple.com/airport-express/
Install the AirPort Express approximately half way between the AirPort Extreme and the point where the Apple TV will be located. The more that you can eliminate obstructions like walls, a ceiling or heavy furniture in the signal path between the AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express and Apple TV, the better the network will perform.

have you backed up in the past with iTunes or iCloud? If so, it is possible that you will not lose this information, but I cannot guarantee anything.
Check for backups in iTunes by going to Preferences > Devices > Device backups
If you do not see any, and your iPad is still in working order, check for iCloud backups in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
Also, if your iPad is still in working order, you can backup with itunes before restoring : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

What product can I buy that will provide portable power to my MacBook Pro and iPhone and iPad when I am flying?

What product can I buy that will supply portable power to my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad when I am flying?
I recently was on an extended trip and the port for charging at my seat was not working.

Unfortuntly you can't.
The Apple Airline adapter is only meant to keep a fully charged battery from draining, however with newer computers requiring more power, they tend to drain the battery AND the power at the same time, thus require more power hook up without the computer running to charge the battery.
Since your iPhone and iPad charge off USB, that's going to drain the MacBook Pro battery as well.
To generate enough power to charge all three will require a portable generator which of course can't be used on a plane.
The best you can do is have all three charged up before you board the plane, and use each for as long as you can.

Is there a plug-in yet that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser and submitted?

Is there a plug-in yet for Firefox that will allow pdf forms to be opened in the browser (instead of downloaded), and then submitted to an e-mail address using the submit button on the form? I finally installed the plug-in that allows a pdf to open in Firefox and not downloaded, but the Submit button doesn't work.

Help. Same issue.

What do you mean by 'will not let me download' ? Is the buy/download button greyed out ? Are you getting any error messages ?

HT5243 How does one know if they use "java applets"? What do they do? How will I know if I need to 'disable the java web plug-in browser' if I do not use them? ( I'm not very literate in computer-speak.

How does one know if they use "java applets"? What do they do? How will I know if I need to 'disable the java web plug-in browser' if I do not use them? (Obviously I'm not very literate in computer-speak.)

Well, when you go to a web page a section of the web page will have a coffee cup picture where the java applet will run. The applet loads then runs. If you are not seeing this behavior then you are not using java. If it make you feel more comfortable then disable the browser java plugin. On my machine I have not disable java- but you
may what to.

With CS5 you must have registered, hopefully under your present Adobe ID.
I am afraid the chat and phone support are off until the beginning of January.

What is a bluetooth alternative that will enable Yosemite to work on IMAC 20011

I was so excited about this upgrade and could not believe that an IMac mid 2011 was not included in the handoff function. Is there a bluetooth adapter out there that will work?

Hi CarolV.,
Are you using a separate App, or the Emoji keyboard built into iOS6?
Although I don't have a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, I tested with an Apple Bluetooth keyboard, iOS6, built in Emoji.
I was able to bring up the onscreen keyboard with the Eject button (upper right above the delete key) and using the onscreen keyboard I was able to press the World key to switch to the Emoji onscreen keyboard. As the Emoji "keyboard" is so graphic (switching images and selecting them) I had to use the onscreen option to select the desired Emoji.
Once the onscreen keyboard was visible, I could also change between keyboards with "Command - Space" on the Bluetooth keyboard.
So the questions become, does the Logitech keyboard have a media eject key? and does it bring up the onscreen keyboard? If not, does any other function key bring it up?
Let me know if that works. Like I said, I don't have a Logitech keyboard so I wonder how universal these options are.

What's a good phone that will sync with iCal?

I'm in the market for a new phone, but have absolutely no desire to switch to AT&T, so the iPhone is out. (Sob!)
I really want to be able to sync with iCal, with support for alarms so I don't forget stuff. (I also want to sync with Address Book.) Can anyone recommend a good phone that's fairly compact for this?
Thanks in advance!

Have a look at any of the Sony Ericsson models - there are dozens of them to choose from and all (non-Smartphones) sync perfectly with the Mac.
iCal events plus To Dos will sync to the phone, and if a reminder alarm is set in iCal, the phone will remind you at your chosen interval before the event is due.

What changed in iOS 7 that will not allow me to add audiobook files into a playlist?

In iOS 6 on my phone I could create a playlist and had the option to add audiobook files. This feature is gone in iOS 7. How can I do this without using iTunes to create and manage the playlist? This was a feature I used often in iOS 6 to manage my place in a long audiobook.

After several attempts I cound that you can create a new playlist for audiobook that will NOT show up in your playlist but in your audiobooks sync page as a playlist. I'm not a conspiracists but I think Samsung has bought apple and is trying to tick off their customer base to increase their note sales. Good Marketing Strategy...I'm switching over... adios apple!

I have an ipad that only has wifi and I am unable to connect because all the networks are locked for access. Is there anything that I can attached to my ipad that will make it possible for me to access the internet

I need help. Just purchased an ipad with wifi service only. Is there anything that I can get that will allow me to access the internet. I keep getting network connections that have a lock which makes it unable to log on. Picking up numerous with sites with the lock. Help did I make a mistake in getting this ipad. If so, can I trade it in for one that is more network friendly.

If you expect to use a WiFi only iPad it needs a wireless network. It is customary to have your own versus using someone else's.
Nothing is more network friendly than an iPad.
You couldn't possibly have expected to sponge off a service someone else is paying for?
