My MacBook was purchased in January 2008.  What should I upgrade?

I bought a white MacBook in January 2008.  Mac OS X version 10.6.8 MacBook 4.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1 GHZ 1 processor 1 GB of memory

It is in very good condition and works fine except that it is slow.  Many websites indicate that Safari is out of date and update of Safari.  I can't update to Safari and I have no doubt that I need my memory.

How can I upgrade my MacBook?  Please notify.

Buy more RAM from OWC or Crucial source. Mac cannot use a version newer than 6.1.6(which nécessite la mise à jour vers Lion) Safari; you will probably move to a software like Firefox to get a web browser new enough.

  • What should I upgrade to be able to change the 10 cameras at the same time?

    I'm doing a video for live events and I must be able to modify the 10 cameras at a time.

    My system I've set up 2 years ago has a 3.4 ghz Ivy bridge i7, 32 GB of ram and a 2 GB video card. When I do multi camera changes in adobe first, I can only do 3 or 4 at a time with fluidity, using the camera multi monitor, but when I try 5 or more, it does not really play. The audio plays fine, but the video is just a frame every second couple.

    I tried mounting on an internal hard drive WD black, which is 7 200 rpm, but I found that I get the same results on a WD my book edition (which is a hard drive WD Green running to 5 400 rpm) via USB 3.0.

    What should I upgrade to be able to play all 10 cameras at the same time? A high-end video card? Which one? Do I need an esata raid configuration? Is what I ask to do even possible or not first even stand that?

    Thank you!

    What version of first? The GPU acceleration is activated? You may need to apply a 'hack' at first, so that it actually uses the GTX 560 for the Mercury engine.

    Runs in 'Software only' mode, navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro and search the text file called "cuda_supported_cards.txt".

    Rename or delete this file - without this list of cards "approved," to look at first will use ANY card that meets the minimum criteria.

    I do not use the Multicam feature myself, but as an experiment, I piled about 20 layers of AVCHD, using multiple PIPS on the entire screen, and he plays them back well. The GPU acceleration will help no doubt if that is not currently enabled

  • I am running Vista now, what should I upgrade and how?

    I had this computer for about 8 years, I think. I never upgraded to something else. Vista was already installed but I need to install Microsoft office 2013 and I know that it is not compatible with Vista, so how can I do to upgrade? Also, how can I back up my files to an external hard drive? I have some pictures I want to keep.

    Hello

    Before you spend money on your Vista machine:

    Microsoft sells more than Windows 7, you must try Amazon.com.

    Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

    If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

    Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20

    Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

    "Windows 7 system requirements"

    Do the following before upgrade you to Windows 8.1.

    Check if the manufacturer of your computer/laptop has Windows 8 drivers available for your model.

    If this is not available, Windows 8/8.1 not install and work properly for you.

    There is a lot of information in this first link from Microsoft:

    Download and run the Windows Upgrade Assistant 8.1 of to see if your machine is compatible Windows 8.1 and read the update for Windows 8.1: FAQ here

    Windows 10 is NOT a free upgrade from Vista; It's onlt free of Windows 7 and 8.1.

    The easiest way to back up your Photos, etc., is to click with the right button on the folder > crushed cursor send to > have a USB Flash drive or a hard drive plugged > copy the files to that.

    If you follow the Microsoft Vista backup process, you will have problems by copying them on later operating systems.

  • HP Pavilion m9200t... What should I upgrade?

    Should I upgrade to Windows Vista 64-bit of Windows 7?

    Summer wrote: where can I get a DVD of Windows 7 upgrade?

    Hello summer, DVD of Windows 7 x 64 upgrade usually can be found in your local computer supply store.

    Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system is delivered with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1.

    Here a link to Newegg where the operating system Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade can be found for USD $109.00 with free shipping. Free shipping usually takes about 7-10 days. You can choose faster shipping for an extra cost options.

    This Windows 7 x 64 Home Premium Upgrade is a commercial version and comes with a free gift of Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2012 1 user license.

    When you insert the DVD into the optical drive and boot the system, you would be presented with the option in a few screens to perform an upgrade installation. You would select just a upgrade and installation will continue and complete.

    You should then have Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 installed. If you want or need a more robust version, such as Windows 7 x 64 Pro or Ultimate, you can find these institutions, but they cost a bit more, and if you do not need the features of these versions, it would not be the extra cost.

    Whatever version you decide, you must put the enclosed certificate of authenticity (COA) on the system case and remove the Vista COA of the case. This could ensure that you are legal.

    You should also go to the Windows Update site after the upgrade and see if there are new updates for your system.

    I think it would be.

  • My serial number does not work. What should I do?

    I just installed the Adobe CS4 Master Collection on my new laptop. All Adobe applications work perfectly well with the exception of Photoshop. He told me that my serial number was already used twice. What should I do?

    He is letting me do a 30 day trial. But Photoshop is really the only Adobe application, I need. With my luck, it's the only one not working not not for me.

    Why does a single app tells me that serial number is wrong? and what do I do?

    Dragonz,

    It seems that you have already activated PS on both machines authorized. You ARE allowed to only two Activations. As has been pointed out, you can disable one of these. In addition, the EULA allows Activation on two personal computers, but they can not be executed at the same time - this applies to ALL the components of any suite also, so you cannot run InDesign on one computer, while performing work of PS on the other. [Because I have sometimes, back, and the Adobe product manager had to go to Legal Adobe, sliced.] I was breaking my EULA, well that always try to follow that "to the letter of the law." Fortunately for me, I had two separate (non-custodial) stand-alone licenses for the PS and not used in any way to upgrade, for once I disabled, uninstalled, reinstalled (from one of the stand-alones) and activated, I was again 'legal'].

    If you HAVE enabled only on a personal computer, then there is a problem, and as the Noel, a call to Adobe (not Technical Support) customer service, should be able to fix things quickly and painlessly.

    Once, there was also a limit on the number of installations allowed, which could be reset in C/S, exceeding. IIRC, this policy was abandoned, from February 2010. Yet, there ARE limits on the Activations, and only two copies of each program can be activated at the same tim.

    Good luck

  • MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008) cannot install snow leopard

    So I'll try to fix computer for my mother, it's a MacBook (13-inch aluminum, Late 2008).  He was running very slowly so I did a factory of resets and tried to install a copy of snow leopard on it.  When I try to install it on my hard drive it says "Mac OS X does not have this disc."  The symbol for the hard drive has a yellow! sign on it (if it matters).

    (1) my question is what can I do to install the OS on this?

    Mavericks - OS would not install, I tried this right after the factory restore.

    -Unfortunately I can't eject the disc either-

    (2) that it has to do with my drive hard and how can I test that?

    Whence it the Snow Leopard disc? You must use a copy of Snow Leopard retail. You can buy Snow Leopard at the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (US). The price is $ 19.99 plus tax. You will receive a physical media by mail after placing your order.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears, wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
  • My internal camera on my MacBook at the beginning of 2008 Pro does not work

    My internal camera on my MacBook at the beginning of 2008 Pro does not work.

    One of them will solve your problem of camera:

    (1) If your Mac restart does not solve the problem,

    (2) use http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 from Apple.

    (BTW - troubleshooting section called an "iSight" camera.  However, after that article was published, Apple has changed the name of the built-in camera on the recent "iSight" Macs "FaceTime", then "FaceTime HD."  Whatever the name of your built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

    Be sure to test several Apple app (photo booth, FaceTime, iMovie, QuickTime Player, etc.) in more than one user account.  Do NOT use the 'Guest' for this test account.  If you don't have more than one user account for testing, create one now.  If you need help, how is explained in http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201754.

    A 'Standard' user account is all you need for the tests.

    (3) If your camera will work correctly even with Apple applications, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS since system recovery stored on your startup disk.  Don't bother test Skype or other 3rd party apps until you have your camera works with applications Apple.

    (4) If none of the suggestions above resolve your issue, contact Apple or one of the Apple-Authorized Service Provider to have your Mac professionally repaired. Don't forget to back up your Mac and Deauthorize iTunes before the call for tenders for the service.

    When you see a beachball cursor or the slowness is particularly bad, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Run the Console application in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    The title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select

    SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages

    in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select

    List of newspapers seen ▹ display

    in the menu at the top of the screen bar.

    Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Highlight date back to the time you noted above.

    Select the messages entered since then until the end of the episode, or until they begin to repeat, whichever comes first.

    Copy messages to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.

    The journal contains a large amount of information, almost all this is useless to solve any particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

    Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.

    Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.

    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    When you post the journal excerpt, an error message may appear on the web page: "you include content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.
