I have an iMac running 10.4.11. I want to update the system all the way to 10.7.3
Is there a combo 10.7 I can install, to skip 10.5 & 10.6?

I have a G5 (Late 2005) and I just bought a LaCie Quadra 500GB hard drive last week and I have it connected with Firewire 800. I was away for the weekend and left the surge protecter unplugged while I was gone. I came home today and plugged everything back in and powered up. My G5 does not recognize the LaCie Drive. It powers on and I can hear it running, but it will not mount on the desktop. I checked the cables and everything is connected.

G5 Dual 2.3 GHz

My IMac won't grab disks in the superdrive, spits them straight out, is there anything I can try before taking it for repairs. It is two years old so is out of warranty.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt started a week ago while playing Civilization V on my iMac : the screen suddenly displayed vertical blue (altered with dark blue) vertical straight lines, the sound was still working, i could hear the music from the game. Then the screen turned black and i couldn't hear anything anymore, i had to restart the computer with the apple button. The same happened again with civilization, once with green lines. And today, while restarting after this bug, the screen displayed multicolor lines instead of the grey wallpaper with the apple.

At least 2-3 times daily my brand new Imac drops the connection to my home network- I have tried to reboot my airport extreme- my ipad and iphone and nest thermostat do not have these issues of dropped connections. As soon as I click the pale wireless signal at the top of the imac, it finds my home network and joins again, but it is a drag to have to redo this every time I want to stream music around the house or check my mail. All of my updates are current.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI bought an iPhone yesterday and I'm already on my second one with a second SIM card. Set up was easy enough but when someone calls me it goes straight to voicemail. This is the same problem I had with the first phone and SIM card. I took the first phone back to AT&T and they replaced the SIM card. When that didn't work I took the iPhone back to an Apple store and they replaced the phone and reinstalled the second SIM card.
I just came home, went through the set up and it still goes straight to voicemail. A friend suggested that it might be in "airplane mode" but I checked and it is off.
I have Fusion 2 and was wondering if it was possible to start my Mac up to the Vista operating system...
I think it will run much faster this way.
I know it worked during migration assistant but does it work all the time?
I need to slurp off the 40+ gig music directory from the old machine as MA didn't get it ... and I figure direct eth-eth would be fastest.
if it does, do I just use network to find the other mac?
I've just bought a MacBook (White, 2.1ghz, 1 gig ram). Thing is the previous owner had a friend install XP as he didn't like the operating system. When I turn the computer on it boots straight from XP and no choice to choose osx. I've tried holding down option which brings the selection for windows only! I have a mac mini so I tried the software disc from that (knew I had no chance but worth a try). I found boot camp on control panel, inserted mac os disc, selected it to boot from it. No joy just a White screen then black, and the xp logo starts. How to get this vile software off my MacBook please???
View 10 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing a problem with Video DVD's. If I insert them, the drive spins up, and there is the normal reading sign, but after maybe 15 to 20 seconds it ejects the DVD. I can't find any notices about these in /var/log/system.log . Sometimes the DVD's work and sometimes they refuse to get loaded. Is it possible that my DVD Drive is damaged? I have no alternative computer around.

I'm new on these forums so I don't really know how to navigate my way around. This is my first mac ever (macbook pro 13) and I've had it for several months.
This may sound like a stupid question but bare with me here. The Ubuntu computer next to my mac pro has a problem with wireless so I share my internet from my mac pro to it via ethernet. I have to download a large 20 gig file that will take about 2 days, on my ubuntu computer, and Im going to boston so lets say 4 days. Is it safe to leave my mac pro running for over 4 days straight? I don't want to overheat or anything.

I have looked and looked here and have not found similar cases to ours. Could some body direct me to a discussion or other info? Trying to upgrade my first gen MacBook Air from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard.I bought the disc kit from the online Apple store.The instructions make it sound simple; back up, click upgrade, follow the prompts etc. Well let me tell you. About a year ago we went through this on our iMac. It appeared that we got a bad disc. Got notices that the disc was partially unreadable etc. Sent the disc back and got another. Same problem. I gave up. My partner called Apple and was talked through a complex bunch of malarqui that included erasing the hard drive and reinstalling software a handful at a time and restarting and restarting and getting updates etc.All manual manipulation.Why can't this be straight forward ? We don't mess with our Macs and hack them etc. When she did all this low and behold the drive could continue to read the Snow Leopard upgrade disc during the install. Before it would cycle for like twenty minutes in one spot beating the **** out of the optical drive.Huh ! Unreadable ?What is going on ?The exact same thing is going on with my MacBook air. Cycles and cycles and cycles and says unreadable damaged optical disc or process stopped etc. etc. I have used a very trust worthy iomega "Super DVD" external drive and then when that didn't work (stopped part way through upgrade ) I used disc sharing from my Mac Mini running Snow Leopard and the same thing happened. Some how I think if I call Apple care and go through all the nonsense the external drives won't give me the unreadable disc prompt. I don't really like or trust the Time machine back up system. I would much rather keep the internal drive loaded and tweak it. Is there any way I can just do an upgrade without erasing my Air hard drive. I like it as it is. I have my Time Machine back up but I fear messing up my Air just to do this Booo Sheet upgrade. All I want really is for my Air to go to sleep as fast as it used to and to prepare for Lion. From what I have read since I have been searching for info here the Lion or Mountain Lion may not even work well with my older Air so am I just going to mess up my Air royally for no real benefit

I have an old G5 I'm giving away and I don't have the install disc for it. I was wondering if there was a way of formatting the hard drive and not reinstalling OS X straight away, but if someone inserts the disc when booting it up they can reinstall it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn the brief reviews I've seen, the Macbook Air is credited with great viewing angles. I just bought the 11" base model. While the horizontal viewing angles are great, the vertical ones are modest. It's definitely decent if you look at the screen straight on or from above, but it fades quickly and inverts when you look at it from below level even to a modest degree. I have the 2008 unibody aluminum Macbook; the one that was quickly renamed the Macbook Pro and provided with a better screen and an SD slot. To me, the viewing angles are definitely improved but I don't have a Macbook Pro to compare it with, or the previous generation Air.

typing 'mac-boot' gets me to a white screen with black lines all down it. It just hangs there.
I tried zapping the PRAM but it didn't help. The hard drive has been making those *click click* 'I'm about to die' sounds for a while. I'm assuming its the hard disk . I have another iBook with a failed logic board I can take the HD out of but in case its not I don't want to take it apart just yet.
I did a fresh install of 10.5 in my iMac (which was previously in 10.4.x) recently. I backed up my important stuff (photo and music libraries) by simply copying the libraries (entire folders) to an external drive.
Then I simply copied back the iTunes library to my folder and started iTunes. Unfortunately, iTunes does not seem to show any of my music library content :-(
I know, I know... I should have backed up using the backup feature of iTunes. I promise to learn from my mistakes. However, is there any way I can restore from the straight copy of the iTunes library (incl. several of my iTunes purchases).
