How can I change safe my mid August 2009 MacBook Pro of El Capitan safe...?
Unfortunately my iPhone 5 has stopped working yesterday, so I had a 6s, but I'm still in 10.7.5 naturally now I need to update my laptop, but the last time I tried to update my laptop a few years apparently from what had been told to me by the MacMall apple technician in Santa Monica , it's that I didn't delete the old partition out of my HD, then the laptop was stuck in a lock box. Which resulted in me having to wipe the HD. Is there a way to access El Capitan safely without any headaches and being able to have my files in order with the new OS...? My MacBook Pro is a Mid-August 2009 with processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM. Thanks in advance, any comment on this situation is welcomed.
Here are a few steps you need to take before moving on to the latest version of Mac OS X.
First, run the software update or the App Store and install all the updates available for the operating system you have now. The system must be in good working condition. Do not expect an upgrade of the operating system to repair a computer that is abnormally slow or unstable. More likely, the upgrade will make the problem worse.
If you have less than 4 GB of memory, as shown in the box about this Mac, and your model has an expandable memory, install at least that a large part, or preferably the maximum amount of the machine can use according to the specificationsof Apple. If the memory is not expandable, or you don't want to upgrade, turn off using a newer Mac OS x version until you decide to buy a new computer.
If you have already upgraded the memory, check the specs to make sure that the memory is compatible, both the type and capacity. Do not install more memory that is officially supported by the model. Sellers of spare memory may contradict Apple specifications because they want to sell memory. Their guarantees that you can exceed the specs are not not trustworthy. Although the memory of out-of-spec worked, it may not work after the OS upgrade, or you may not upgrade at all.
Make sure all of your most important third-party software are up-to-date and compatible with the current OS x Very old versions of Microsoft and Adobe products, for example, may not be compatible. The Web site is the best source for this information. Incompatible third-party software causes almost all problems with OS X updates.
Finally, in back up all the dataand be sure you know how to restore if you don't like the results of the upgrade.
If you have a with a sufficient capacity storage device, you can copy the boot volume in disk utility, then run him and to upgrade. So, if you don't like the results, all you have to do is change the setting in the startup disk preferences pane and restart.

How can I change the margins on my hp officejet pro l7580
Some forms print have information of compliance at the bottom which is necessary to properly process the document and margins on my hp officejet pro L7580 (printer), often cut out of the bottom of the page. I need to adjust the margins on the machine itself. How can I do this? I have searched everywhere online and my manual and can't find the answer.
Unfortunately there isn't a way to set the margins on the phone itself, but you can enable the printer to print without margins (that is) that your program has full control of the border) by following the instructions in the link below:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bpy21049
Once you have done this, you should be able to adjust the margins through your program without limitation.

I tried to add videos to my 2 my MBP Mini iPad.
When I hit the sync button, I'm alerted that this will remove the existing music and video on my iPad. How to prevent this?
Hi Houston1863,
I understand that you want videos you have on your MacBook Pro to add to your iPad. Synchronization is a way to do it, but if you've never synced to your iTunes library before, you will get the message that you see. The first thing I would say is that you back up your iPad if you do not already so.
Then try a different approach to file sharing between your devices. It is called AirDrop, and here's how it works:

How can I manually transfer files/email to new macbook pro accounts
I have the new macbook pro retina 13 "and do a clean install from a 2011 macbook pro. I did basically except accounts e-mail and files. The two machines are the latest el capitan 10.11.2 worm - two machines have the same version of Mail worm 9.2 (3112).
I use POP mail - not IMAP - do not use the cloud. I know the advantages and disadvantages, but it is like that. I have 5 different email accounts with the files and associated files.
I have tried to copy the mail and download e-mail to the library files in the same folder on the new computer. During the opening of the mail on the new computer, he insists on setting up the new account. I tried to configure an e-mail account. THEN again by replacing new files in the folder library/mail with the mail from the old computer folder - once, does not work. I also copied file library/container/apple.com.mail - and all other files related mail can be found in the mail folder. Once again successfully.
Yes have you tried importing mail, but this does NOT bring in my records or accounts.
Any ideas before I wipe the drive and do a migration from scratch - lose the clean installation process.
Thank you
The best option is to use the Migration Wizard to transfer your accounts and your files. This will prevent the corruption of the library, which can cause several other problems. And it will not 'eliminate the clean installation state.'

How can I get Photoshop CS4 on a new MacBook Pro?
I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I tried to install my Photoshop CS4 (from a backup disk) for the new computer laptop. When I opened the application, a window pops up and says, "License for this product has stopped working". So now what should I do? Of course, I have original CD disks, but there is no CD drive in new laptops. Thank you, Steve
Hi Steve,.
For the repair of licensing, you can check this thread: licensing for this product has stopped working error 150:30
And Terri already gave you the link to download the CS4 products.
Also, as suggested, if you want you can go for the external CD readers, those who are not expensive.
