Will my mac book still work after spilling coffee on it?
I just spilt coffee on my MacBook Pro. Will it still work if I put it in rice?
Wow. Well umm I'm not very sure on that, especially since rice would get into your fan intakes and the rest of your internals. I would open up your MacBook Pro and use cotton swabs with 80% or above isopropyl alcohol to wibe off parts with visible coffee spill marks. Just let it dry as much as you can like this and make sure you don't get the alcohol on connectors.

Will all my apps still work after upgrade?
I am always nervous doing any updates because inevitably some apps start working funny or don't work at all after them. I really want to update to Lion, but I'm concerned about some older apps I have, the number one being Final Cut Pro 7. Will this still work after the Lion upgrade? As well as all my other software?
Thank you!EU4 wrote:
How do you mean install onto a test drive? I've never done that before.
Connect an bare external drive and install Lion onto that. Test all of your critical software to ensure it works. If you have some vitally important piece of 3rd party software that doesn't work in Lion, you may have to continue to use Snow Leopard until an update to that 3rd party software is available or you find a replacement. -
Will my DVD player still work after I install 10.5?
Hi, all. This is what I found for requirement for 10.5 -- "DVD Player requires a 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 or faster processor for improved de-interlacing." Does that mean once I install Leopard 10.5 that my DVD player will not work with my G4 machine?
Does that mean once I install Leopard 10.5 that my DVD player will not work with my G4 machine?

After upgrade will older iDVD themes still work?
I currently have iLife 05 Installed with all themes from iDVD 1 to 5. Will these older themes still work after an iLife 06 upgrade?
Hi AIR, and welcome to discussions!
Yes, in iDVD 6 are included the old themes: from iDVD5, 4, and 22 themes called "old themes". I don't know if those are all of the ones from 1 to 3, but looks like.
Anyway, you can keep for some days both version 5 and 6 of iDVD if you rename iDVD 5 with a different name (like "iDVD 5") before installing version 6. -
I am running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build. If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work? There does not appear to be an updated version of MS Office for Mac past 2011 that I bought last year and am using now. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.Office 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks, but you may not be able to get the installer for it at this time.

Find my iPad - will it still work after changing icloud username/pw?
My iPad was stolen last week.
In haste, I quickly changed all my passwords, and even changed my Apple ID. I wasn't thinking about the fact that the iPad won't be able to connect to iCloud if I changed the password. (And of course, I can't change it back.)
If the crooks are dumb enough to turn it on and connect it to the internet, will Find My iPad still work, even if it can't connect to iCloud?
Thanks.No.

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.
Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install. -
How do i know if my mac book is working on N speed
I just bought the new airport extreme and there is a software that allow to change the configuration of the mac books from G speed to N. I check that i have that software installed, but i don't know how to make it work. I don't know if it is working but i surely don't feel any difference on the speed of my network.
If somebody can help me telling me how to check is my mac book is working on N will be really appreciated.
Also, can somebody tell me how many kb/sec is N speed and G speed. And how to se at what speed I<m tranfering data between my macbook and my external drive.
thanksLog out and log back in, if you haven’t done so recently. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
Post the lines of output, if any, that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line (triple-click anywhere in it to select the whole line):
find /Applications /System/Library/CoreServices -type d -name *.app -exec defaults read {}/Contents/Info LSEnvironment \; 2> /dev/null | grep DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
If you get no output from either step, you're not infected with any variant of Flashback that I know of. -
If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work?
If I update to Snow Leopard, will final cut pro still work? My current version of Final Cut Pro is 6.0.6. Thanks.
Apple is not telling you the Complete story about Lion.
The installer for FCP 6 is Power PC code/ IBM CPU code, which Lion does not support.
FCP 6 is NOT Power PC code, it will run on Lion and Mountain Lion, as I have read on many posts.
The solution??
Solution condition where FCP 6 installed and upgrading OS to Lion
Do nothing, its already running OK
Solution condition where FCP 6 not installed and OS Lion installed.
Connect a firewire drive to your MAC and install the old OS on it (eg snow leopard) ,
Reboot to that OS
Install FCP 6
Reboot to your new OS (EG Lion)
Run FCP 6 -
I'm using a workstation graphics card that allows for GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC.
Selecting 'GPU Preview' instead of 'CPU Preview' under the 'View' toolbar in Illustrator CC results in a more choppy experience.
Which leads me to wonder:
Does GPU acceleration in Illustrator CC still work after disabling 'GPU Preview' and enabling 'CPU Preview' (on a workstation gpu)?
Does GPU acceleration for my gpu actually improve the performance for my work?If you disable the GPU acceleration in preferences then you'll be unable to enable GPU preview under the view menu. It will automatically go into CPU preview as the GPU is no longer enabled.
If you're experiencing choppy performance when you do have the GPU preview selected, something is amiss because any GPU that can support GPU acceleration should be able to do it without a performance hit.
What is the video card that's in the workstation? -
I am having trouble on older mac book pro working in Preview its like being on old PC
My newer 3 year old mac book pro is broke and i am using the older one ( lion) to do some work and having to use preview because i cant reinstall all software on this as well.
I am having trouble on older mac book pro working in Preview.
Why is Preview bad on older machines?Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again. -
Back to my mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion
Back to my Mac no longer works after upgrading to Lion
After I upgraded my home machines to Lion, I can no longer access them from my work computer, which is running Snow Leopard. When they were both Snow leopard, it worked fine. How can I get them working again? I don't have control over the OS on my work computer. Is it necessary for me to downgrade all of my home computers to Snow leopard in order to get them talking again?
Additionally the binoculars icon appears in the menu bar all of the time. In previous versions, this would only happen when somebody connected to my machine. Could these problems be related?OK, so further investigation has addressed the BTMM issue on a remote machine.
With all machines running lion, I was having issues trying to log in to a standard user headless machine already running. In Snow Leopard, I had no issues with this since you can log in via screen sharing using an admin login that's running a standard login. Lion allows multiple accounts to be signed in which is handy since you can now run virtual sessions. This means you can admin the remote computer without bothering the remote user.
The problem was that now logging in using admin login brings up the admin account (which makes sense) instead of the desktop to the standard login. I applied a similar solution to a problem that was related to screen sharing I found on this board. What I believe to be the fix is to add the standard user to the screen sharing user list. Then screen share to the remote account using the standard user credentials.
So on the remote computer, in System Settings->Sharing->Screen Sharing, add the standard user to be allowed access. Previously I only had admins. This may not be an ideal solution for what I'm trying to do since the remote computers primary login is the standard user to be used as a common computer, but it now works so I am happy with it.
Now my only "problem" is my AEBS complaining about my MobileMe credentials, but it doesn't appear to have an impact on BTMM performance so I'll quietly wait for a fix down the road. -
I have Garageband version 4.1.2 (248.7) installed on my early 2008 IMAC 10.5.8. I have never upgraded. If I upgrade my operating system to the next level (10.6?) will my GB version still work? I have a LOT of projects involved and hope they will transfer. Can I (and should I) upgrade GB at the same time and how far should I go with that without causing a problem with my projects? What would I gain if I upgrade GB? Thanks!

v4 is pretty lonh in the tooth now, and GB only costs $15, so I'd think it's a good idea

the only version you can buy new is v6,a nd it should open older projects without issue ... however you could keep 4 around:
