Will my system allow me to make this upgrade?

Ive got a Macbook 10.4.11.  Ive  got Intel core duo 2Ghz speed processor.  Im trying to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10. 6.  My bus speed is 667 mhz.  will work or no?

Yes, by default the 10.6 Installer does what we used to call an Archive & Install, saving all your files, apps & settings, just updating the OS components.
For safety's sake I'd do thide first...
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Will Home Sharing allow me to do this?

    I'm traveling to Europe next week and I'm taking a netbook with me to use as a base for downloading pictures and videos and as a general USB charging station for my iPhone and other digital devices. I'd love to be able to install iTunes 9 on the netbook and bring over the library from my desktop so that I can listen to my music on my netbook while in Europe. Will Home Sharing allow this, or does it require having the the netbook currently on my home network in order to access songs that are on my desktop?
    yeah

    Yeah - it doesn't like it when you try to sync to another system. It throws up all kinds of warnings about doing it too. Not to mention that it tries to purge iTunes libraries to replace them with the one on whichever computer you are on and so on - basically its far more mess than it needs to be.
    But I often plug my iphone into my netbook for the sole purpose of recharging the battery. When it comes up on my netbook and tries to sync, I just hit cancel. It will still recharge the iphone without syncing it.
    Just on a side note, if you DO sync it with both, they will not talk to one another - even with home sharing - so if something crashes, you will have to go back to whichever computer you sync'ed (sank?) to last.

  • HT4009 One of my apps won't allow me to make an in-app purchase but all my other apps will

    I have several apps that I purchase in-app items from (extra lives, coins, etc...) I have one app that will only sporadically allow me to make in-app purchases. When it denies my request an error message appears advising me to contact the iTunes support store to complete the purchase. But 5 minutes later I can successfully make an in-app purchase on a different app so I know there is no issue with my payment method. How can I fix this problem?

  • Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab.  It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections.  Does anyone know their way around this obstacle?  Thanks!

    Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab.  It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections such as options.  Does anyone know their way around this obstacle?  Am I doing anything wrong?  Thanks

    Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
    But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
    Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
    And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

  • HT1918 Somehow the country associated with my account was changed to China.  I did not make this change and now the system will not let me update either my credit card information or the country back to the United States.  Help!!!

    Somehow the country associated with my account was changed to China.  I did not make this change.  My credit card information needs to be updated but the system will not let me update either my credit card information or the country back to the United States.  My updated credit card information is not accepted because the country is China.  It will not allow me to change the country until the credit card information is changed. Help!!!

    This exact thing has happened to me. Did you get it resolved? If so, how??

    babowa, it seems like it is using Fuse & NTFS, so I don't think it's the classic WD + 10.9 mess, but extra WD tools & drivers can still break things MtTran.
    MrTran, if you must use unsupported disk formats on your Mac you must also consider actually paying the developers that made the trial software.
    It's probably a good idea to follow the developers removal instructions, reboot & then install one tool at a time.
    MacFuse, FuseOSX, NTFS-3G are all likley to confict if you run older versions so you need to be sure you are using the latest version. I can't remeber which one depends on the other, so you will need to read the manuals.
    When the disk is readable copy the data to another disk. You could probably do this from a Linux distro or Windows if OS X won't do it.
    If you insist on only using the trial versions you will need to reinstall Mac OS, copy data off this disk & reformat it.
    Is there any good reason for not using the Mac HFS extended format?

    refer to this Apple support Article, on Universal Dock which retail at $59 at Apple store.

    Look through the compatible list chart and see which 80GB model are you using, either ID 9 or 10. you can order through Apple Online Store.

    When i try to connect to my yahoo email via the Mail thingy, it will say "user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect even though my yahoo password and user name is correct.
    This is copied from your first post. Am I reading this wrong? Aren't you saying that you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect? That's why I asked another the word apple in the name. I don't use Yahoo mail that may in fact be correct but I'm just checking,
    IF you are getting a message that the username and password are incorrect.....
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this

    How to make a scanned PDF file searchable? I bought an Adobe service which I thought allowed me to do this, but I do not see any instructions how to do it.

    Hi,
    When using Adobe ExportPDF online service, it will run OCR itself when converting any PDF to other file format.
    It also depends upon the quality of the scanned document, so it might be possible that it does not make the file searchable.

  • I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to be able to use iCloud, but need Lion which is too big. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I have an iMac 5,1 with an Intel Core 2 Duo. I'd like to Lion, in order to use iCloud, but the specs indicate I don't have enough memory. How much memory can I add? And will this upgrade allow me to install Lion?

    I believe your model iMac can address 3 GB RAM; the minimum for Lion is 2 GB - however, that is an absolute minimum for very light use. You would be much happier with a minimum of 4 GB.
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac-core-2-duo-2.16-20-inch-sp ecs.html
    (You can install 4 GB, but it will only be able to address about 3.1 - 3.2 GB)
