Will the macbook be able to run...

Counter-strike 1.6
The macbook I am getting is the better white one, and I am getting the router and a total of 1 gig ram.

I'm pretty sure 1.6 can run on a toaster. But really though even with onboard graphics it will run fine. Have a look at the min req's over at the steam site - http://storefront.steampowered.com/v2/index.php?area=game&AppId=10&&browse=1

Will the Macbook be able to run Vista?

Its MS new OS due out 07/ you need 1 G RAM, and a graphic's card with 256 mb, to use its full features.
I just came from several PC vender sites like Alienware
and the prequalifcation data is all over the PC side of web.

hmmm? doesn't seem like yal have done it to know?
yes it can. I have done it. it runs fine, but I didn't like it. I actually think XP is better. just the look of it isn't too impressive, seems child like. alot of features were copied from OS X. I removed it the next day cause I didn't like it. but nice to say I ran Vista on a mac a year before it even came out. its worth the experience of doing it, I'll say that.
in case you do it, things to do to get it to work"
MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR HD BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING
1. remove the 200MB partition when it asks which partition to install to.(this is what allows Bootcamp to work, once you delete the partition, Bootcamp no longer works should you need to delete it)
2. once installed reinsert the install disk and run system repair to fix a boot error that will come up.
*3. if you do decide to remove it, its a nuisance, you have to back up your mac HD to an external drive, boot from it, use disk utility to format your macbook HD, it will bring back that 200 MB partition for bootcamp. then use Disk utility to restore your macbook HD from the external drive.

What OS will my Macbook be able to run?

Hi guys,
I have decided to dust off the cobwebs from my very old MacBook c~2006 (1.83 GHz MacBook (MA254LL/A)) and upgrade it to use as a spare living room computer.
I am going to upgrade the memory to the max (2gb) and upgrade the hard drive to a 500gb drive.
I was wondering what Operating system would run comfortably on it.
I am guessing Snow Leopard would be the one to choose but I am really not to sure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The maximum OS for your model 1,1 is 10.6 Snow Leopard. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook_1.83.html
You can upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6.
See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 from the Apple Store as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM and 5gb of free space on your hard drive. It might still be available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.
A retail 10.5 Leopard disk will run you around $200
To upgrade your iLife and iWork. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers from iWork '09 for $20 each.
And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any third party Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Snow Leopard.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

Will my Macbook be able to run Mountian Lion

Hello All!
Before I install Mountain Lion, I wanted to check and make sure my Macbook could run it. I own a 13' early 2011 MacBook Pro (First model with thunderbolt), and was worried after I saw reports of ML slowing down the computer. I know AirPlay Mirroring will work on my computer but I am worried about the possible decrease in processing speed/computer speed.
Am I at risk for a slower processing or general computer speed while running ML on a 13' early 2011 MacBook Pro?
Thanks!

Yes it will work. The only thing is, not all MacBook Pros will support Airplay or Powernap. Check your Model identifier to ensure yours will before you are sent in for a surprise, and backup your data and check for current compatibility listings made after last Wednesday for your software: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761

It should run in your iMac properly

I have an early 2011 macbook pro 13" running 10.6.8, if i upgrade to osx mavericks 10.9.1 will I still be able to run powerpc applications?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X 10.6.8 is the last Mac OS X version that supports PowerPC applications, so if you upgrade to OS X Mavericks, you will lose the ability to use PowerPC applications.
I recommend you to look for upgrades to those apps, but if you cannot or any of your apps are not available for Intel-based Macs, a different option you have is to create a second partition and install OS X Mavericks there, so you can still use your old apps by starting up into Snow Leopard. To create the partition > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html

Will i still be able to run illustrator CS2 if I upgrade to snow leopard?

will i still be able to run illustrator CS2 okay if I upgrade to snow leopard?
i was told by employee at the apple store i need to install snow leopard to take advantage of the cloud and sync my itunes to my iphone 4s. mainly use my laptop for design work using illustrator CS2 and cant afford to have it not work properly if i upgrade to snow leopard.
Anyone out there using CS2 through snow leopard on a MacBook Pro that can give me some feedback on this?
thanks!

iCloud only works with 10.7 Lion according to what I've heard, to get 10.7 you have to upgrade to 10.6.8 then download 10.7 from the MacAppStore. Then only to a 64 bit Intel Mac, no Core Duo's. Also you need 2GB of RAM, but many say you really need 4GB.
CS2 will NOT work on 10.7 for sure, it might not run on 10.5/10.6 neither.
CS2 is rather dated, you'll have to check with Adobe exactly what you can do first, IMMO don't bother.
You won't achieve your goal, so it's best to stay right where you are and run that machine until it drops less you break something.
Next machine you buy, it will be 10.7 and you'll have to buy a new CS5/6 whatever etc.
Also new printers/scanners etc.
Something to plan for, I'd wait for all your software/drivers to be Lion ready first, then wait for the bugs to get out before purchasing a new Mac.

If I upgrade my OS to 10.8, will I still be able to run iWork?

I have an iMac from 2008; my wife just got a new iMac to replace her G-5(!). I am still running OS 10.5.8; she is now on 10.8. It seems to make sense for us to both be on the same OS (doesn't it?), but I don't want to have to spend tons of cash to do so. If I upgrade my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6 to 10.8, will I still be able to run iWork (specifically Pages and Numbers), or will I have to upgrade the software, too? I also see that OS 10.8 needs 2G of memory, which is all I have. So upgrading memory would be another expense. I'm trying to figure out if I'm better off upgrading this machine,or selling a kidney and getting a new iMac. Any thoughts?

iWork will run fine. 2GB is the minimum. Although it will not have optimal performance, I say it should be OK. I have Lion installed on my MacBook with 2GB and it runs fine, Mountain Lion is not much worse.

I have a imac 10.5.8 with 1 GB of memory. If i upgrade to 3 GB of memory will i then be able to run mountain lion ?

What year, CPU speed and screen size is your iMac?
It appears as if it's one of the 2006 models that can only take up to 4 GBs of RAM, but only 3 GBs is recognized.
3-4 GBs of RAM is really the working minimum amount for OS X, alone.
The minimum iMac hardware spec for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is a mid 2007 model iMac.
2006 models cannot run Mountain Lion, but can run OS X 10.7 Lion.
If you have a mid 2007 or newer iMac, my advice would be to install, at least, either 6 or 8 GBs of RAM.
OS X, by itself, to run smoothly,quickly and efficiently can use between 3-4 GBs of RAM leaving virtually no RAM for any additional applications.
If you have an iMac that can take more than 8 GBs of RAM, think of installing more if you can afford it.
Purchase reliable Mac RAM from online vendors Crucial or OWC (Other World Computing) also known as macsales.
Good Luck!

I am running Snow Leopard on my iMac and have partitioned my hard drive to run Windows XP. If I upgrade to Yosemite, will I still be able to run XP?

...Now what happens if I upgrade to Yosemite on either my iMac or my MBPro?
If I install VM Fusion or Parallels, does Windows run all the time? How does that affect computer performance? and how much do I need to worry about hard drive corruption?
Current versions of Fusion and Parallels are compatible with Yosemite. Both are applications which you only run when you want to run Windows within them. As such, there's no effect on computer performance when they're not in use. Like any other software, there is some additional load on your Mac when both Windows and the Mac OS are running together, but any noticeable effect depends on what each is being expected to do and what resources (e.g. available RAM and the number of CPU cores) you can devote to each.
I think there's less chance of HD corruption with a VM than there is with running Windows natively on the Mac in Boot Camp. Consider that, with a VM, you can create Snapshots of the state of your VM at a given time, and then, if something goes wrong (virus, malware, software installations), you can simply restore the Snapshot in a matter of seconds and eliminate the problems in the process. Moreover you can make a backup copy of the entire VM file, and replace a later version if you wish. Also consider that you can assign, say, 100GB of HD space to the VM, but the actual space devoted to the VM is only what's actually used; as more is needed, more is made available and Windows can't tell the difference. So, for example, my Win 7 Pro VM has an 80 GB virtual HD but only takes up 45 GB on my SSD, and that's with XP Mode in VPC installed inside it.
Microsoft no longer supports XP, though virus signature updates are still being issued. But MS has installed a pop-up message about EOL that won't go away (it's installed with KB2934207). Even if you remove that KB in Add and Remove Software, the pop-up continues. But if you have a Snapshot or a backup which is prior to it's original installation, you can skip installing KB2934207, and suppress it's reappearance on a Software Update list.

Is the ipad 1 able to run and download the same apps as the ipad 3

Is the ipad 1 able to run and download the same apps as the ipad 3

You have to look at the system requirements for the app. the iPad 1 cannot run a version of iOS higher than 5.1.1. If the app requires a higher veriosn, you cannot run it.
System reqs for any app in the itunes store are at the left edge of the screen.
Fortunately most apps still run on the older iOS version

Will the MacBook run Worms 3D and Unreal Tournament 2004?

I wish to change my current PowerBook for the new MacBook but for one of the things i use my computer the most besides for high school is to play games and i would like to know if the new MacBook will be able to run smoothly this two games.

You should have no issues with those two titles. There have been people that I've seen/heard of running Doom 3 fairly well on the Macbooks. Early benchmarks ran on the Macbooks weren't too promising, but without being able to provide any more in depth info right now, I can say that you should be fine.
Look into reviews on the Intel GMA 950 graphics chipset in general and you'll see that it's not the best out there, but I've run Unreal2k4 on PC's with graphics cards slower yet and much older then the Intel GMA950 integrated solution in the Macbook.
Obviously if you're looking to do highend/higher detail and resolution gaming then the Macbook is probly not for you. It is a decent jump of a good $1000 or so to the baseline 15" Macbook, but it'd be worth it for better gaming in the long run, aside from the other general advantages.
