I am concerned that if I upgrade to 10.5 that my old iBook will run even slower. Is this correct? I use this old one only for browsing, email and writing in my journal.

G3 blueberry clamshell - what is the highest operating system it will run

I have a G3 Blueberry clamshell that has OS 8.6, 160 MB built in memory. What is the highest operating system this can be upgraded to?

Before you install OS X make sure you check the ibook's firmware - chances are it hasn't been updated. You should be running version boot rom version 4.1.7. You can check this out in your system profiler under production information. I think you have to be running OS9.1 or OS9.2 to do this. Once you have installed OS X you won't be able to do the firmware update.

You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.

You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

What is the current operating system on a Mac laptop?

I'm shopping for a Mac laptop...what is the current operating system for a mac laptop?

Mavericks is no longer available from Apple — unless you purchase an older refurb unit from Apple that still has it installed. Yosemite 10.10.0 (now 10.10.2) superseded it. Mavericks came with my May 2014 MacBook Air, and I had no issues with Mavericks, or applications on it. I subsequently upgraded to Yosemite, because I prefer to stay current — and have had no issues with Yosemite either.

What are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air

what are the Processor, Operating system, hard drive device, Total Memory, Network card, System Graphics of the Silver ipad air?

"Memory" in this case means RAM, the working space for the processor in the iPad. It is different from storage space, the latter being what is referred to by the "32GB", "64GB" etc. specification.
Regards.

If my macbook is version 10.4.11, what is the next operating system or version that I need to upgrade to?

My macbook is version 10.4.11. I'm having a lot of issues with updating to the new itunes, and even connecting my iphone. I know it is time to ugrade my whole operating system, but i am unsure of which one I need to get. Is it snow leopard, lion, or is there something else i need to get? I'm really confused and getting frustrated with my Macbook. Also, another thing is that my computer keeps saying "starter disk full" does anybody know what this means? Any help is truly appreciated!!

You can upgrade to OS X Leopard 10.5, as iPhone requires 10.5.8. However, Apple in the US no longer stocks Leopard, so you'd need to find an alternate source for it. http://www.hardcoremac.com will have unopened copies, although it may be pricey. If you go used, get the black label version, and not gray label, as the gray label version is locked to the system it shipped with.
You can go to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, which is available from the online Apple store, if you want. Be sure to upgrade any non-Apple software that needs upgrading to run under Snow Leopard, and if you have any printer drivers, ensure they are updated too.
If you decide you want to upgrade to OS X 10.7 Lion, be aware that Lion no longer includes the Rosetta emulator, which allowed PowerPC code to run on Intel systems. So any PowerPC programs you currently have won't run under Lion. Also, while the Lion minimum memory is 2GB, a number of people have found they need 4GB for any sort of decent system performance.
Oh, and startup disk full messages mean, as the prior post says, that you need to make space on your internal hard drive. You want a minimum of 5GB, and better yet 10% to 15%+ of your disk capacity should be free, for systems usage.

What is the newest operating system I can upgrade to with an IMAC (maximum 4gb memory) purchased in late 2007

I have an IMAC (purchased in late 2007) that has been upgraded to the maximum memory of 4GB. Current operating system is 10.6.8.
How much farther can I upgrade the operating system?

The IMAC was upgraded by a local computer service store because we have dial up. The person who did the upgrade said I couldn't upgrade any further because the IMAC would run to slow. Here is what I have now.
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
SMC Version (system): 1.20f4
Serial Number (system): W87482Y9X88
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-001B63BE8AEA
Any thoughts on realistic upgrade potential? I need to do something as my current Safari version (5.1.10) is not working properly on some important web sites.
Thanks!

I have an iMac with OS 10.6.8. What is the correct operating system to get all of Creative Cloud working?

what operating system will get creative cloud working? i have OS 1.6.8

I believe that 10.6.8 does not meet the system requirments for most applications. Here are links to a few popular applications where you can compare the system requirements versus your system.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

What is the best operating system for Macbook pro intel core 2 duo, 2.66 GHz, 4 GB ram?

What is the best operating system i can run

Processor 2 GHZ Intel Core Duo Memory 2 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM, currently running Version 10.4.11
<Title Edited by Host>

Just so you know, a Mac with an Intel processor is not a G-series Mac (i.e., yours isn't a G5).
"Best" depends upon what you need, though if you only have a Core Duo processor and not a Core 2 Duo you are limited to OSX 10.4.11-10.6.8. With your ocmputer I would grab a copy of Snow Leopard (10.6) before they really are all gone.
Apple no longer carries 10.6 in its stores or online. Telephone Apple to purchase a Snow Leopard disc. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but expect to pay much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple

What is the highest capacity SD card that will work in current iMacs?

Does the SD card reader included with all current iMacs have a maximum capacity? Or can I use any SD card, no matter how many GB, with it?
The reason I ask this is that I know there's a difference between 'normal' and 'high capacity' SD cards and I wondered which of these is supported with the iMac. There is next to nothing on Apple's own site about this issue.

The Late 2009 iMac's card reader is compatible with SDHC ("High Capacity") cards.
As Dat_T pointed you, the current generation also supports SDXC ("eXtended Capacity") cards:
