the Sierra with the old Mac compatibility

I use two computers, both running under OS El Capitan.

I have an iMac from early 2011. It run Sierra?

I have a MacBook Pro of 2009. It run Sierra?

What happens if my iMac has Sierra and the MacBook Pro has El Capitan? Sierra 'modernize' my photos so that they do not share on my MacBook Pro? Passwords? Mail application?

My 2011 iMac runs Sierra very well. The more RAM you can throw at it, the better. I have 12 GB in mine.

A 2009 MacBook Pro can not run Sierra. It requires a model mid-2010 or later.

  • Can't access iTunes purchases with an old .mac account

    Hi all

    I used to have a .mac account in the old days and I bought a number of songs on iTunes using this account. When they turned off the .mac addresses I've migrated to the new system (which I am using to write this post). I just tried to play one of these old tunes, and he said that I was not allowed to play. So I tried to enter the address of .mac using the iCloud and he says that the account has been locked and he would send me an e-mail. The only valid option seems to be the old .mac email address.

    Is it possible to access the email message that they (probably) was sent on the old .mac email address?

    The end of the game is to get into this account and re - authorize all my songs to my new account, but the first step is to get there in the first place.

    @mac.com addresses have not stopped. I use mine to this day. @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com al e-mails, end up in your mailbox to the current iCloud email account.

    What I suspect is happening in your case, is that you've changed, or rather, add a new account Apple ID. For load of reflow or authorize your purchases made with the former Apple ID, you need to log in iTunes Store using this code from Apple.

    To check which was Apple ID used for the purchase of any article, read the file (cmd + I) information.

  • Is it worth to replace a macbook pro with an old mac pro?

    I have a 13 "macbook pro mid 2012, core i5 2.5 ghz and 4 GB of RAM

    I plan to replace an old mac pro with intel xeon 3 GHz dual core or quad (maybe from 2009 or 2010) and slowly upgrade by adding more RAM, sound card, and video, etc. (I won't change the logic board)

    Computer will be used for the games, but especially for a music with logic studio Pro X (requires OS X El Capitan)

    It's worth?

    OK, now you have 2013MBP 13 inches, and you said topic you will use the computer to do some professional work as a music studio (btw, I somehow like music studio, but I could can't work on that to this life) and games.

    and now your account to replace it with a Mac Pro, which is a desktop computer, I have to say that they are in any other product, and you are already thinking on this subject, which means that you don't have to wear it around right? So, personally, I recommend the CHANGE! There?

    as you say you only have two choices, keep the macbook pro 13 "or replace with the older generation of the Mac Pro, I would say 13-inch MacBook Pro can almost do anything even the latest generation! since low-votage and integrated dual-core process just crappy graph, I don't really think its meet your needs (Audio Studio, game)

    So for you its might be interesting to replace it, but you may need to do the following to make the old gen Mac Pro more "usable".

    -Add the Ram, I remember its only accepts DDR2 ram (I think, not really sure, I have never had one of that), but get at least 16 GB of this and will be allowed to use the same sound only DDR2, you need measure the cost dedicated to Rams

    -Add the USB3.0 card. I didn't say more on this right? USB2 is somehow too crappy for now, if you need measure the cost of the USB3.0 card.

    -Probably to replace the hard drive, its massively improve loading speed if you have a fusion drive or an SSD, its depends on your own needs, if you want to do, then you need measure the cost of training you want to buy.

    -Replace the graphics card, its origin have something called AMD X 3100 or wat, really, remember its all just too old even glance at her age. and return at the time its totally new, it is not the series of cards that have the intention of game. According to the info you provided, you have need a map rendering and 3D design professional, but a card game, then you may need to replace it with more recently built AMD or Nvidia graphics card in game, try watching the series Geforce and Rasomething. and theres something that should be mentioned is the old Mac Pro motherboard, is somewhat different with PC on hardware support, so that the graphics card must take in charge the Mac EFI boot or something else. I do not see the HD7970 and the GTX7? 0 mac edition, which works perfectly after replacement, but also of boys randomly announcement that they got the PC normal edition of some cards and put it on the Mac Pro, its can't stand not EFI of Mac Pro type so that they can not see a shit only on the screen while the Startup logo should show, but once finished go , its works perfectly. That's what I've heard, I'm bloody tired and sleepy now (PLUS8 GMT) hope so I made an explanation clear outta giant paragraph. But anyway, because they have tested PC edition graphics card also works on Mac, theres a huge amount of graphics card, you can buy and before you buy, if your not sure if this does not work on Mac, just borrow one of it and test it just outside, or directly, so search for Mac guaranteed Mac-compatitable by manufacturing , you need measure the cost of this.

    -Possibly a map HiFi sound taking in charge waves and digital output since your doing audio studio, the price increases a breakfast unique price you can buy a car outta that, then choose the one you want and measure the cost.

    -the processor might be still allowed to use and the current level of normal performance, so you can just keep it, but if you want to update, of course, a position which cost.

    -The time you go to research / purchase parts/physically change/test this baby. as goes XD.

    That's essentially all you need to do if you decide to replace your MacBook Pro 13 "with the Mac Pro, the major concern is the cost of parts, other that neither that complex, just to the top, find open port, insertion/replacement material, FACT, USB3 card possible to require a driver, but all you have to do is click NEXT.

    OK, good luck pal and if you blow up your House all by improving the Mac Pro, don't tell anyone I gave you these suggestions ok? XDXD

  • Retrocopatibility between the latest Mac OS and the old Mac Mini

    Hello

    I m trying to buy a Mac Mini used for my son but I want a machine that can use the latest Mac OS today and at least the next operating system.

    I know that older machines cannot use the operating system more recent (I had this problem with a MacBookPro). Where can I get information on this to avoid buying too much a machine old and limited in this respect?

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Best.

    The Mac mini 2010 aka. Mac mini 4.1 or later supported El Capitan (the current version) and macOS Sierra (next version) of the Mac operating system. While the older models of Mac minis are also supported El Capitan they will not support Sierra.

  • Pack to photograph for the old Mac OS x 10.6.8 CC

    I have an old Mac running OS x 10.6.8 and ch & Lr available for download are currently incompatible. Is it possible to buy the CC photography package and download and the older version of the software?

    Thank you

    Of course, you can install the CS 6 version which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    All what you need to do is to download and install Adobe Application Manager, sign in with your Adobe ID and install Photoshop CS 6.

  • It is possible to find the old MAC address?

    I have a serious problem with an application because of licensing depends on the virtual machine's MAC address. This MAC address changed when the transferd vm to another host.

    Do you know if there is a way to find old MAC?

    Thank you

    While previous answers are basically good, I want to add that you need to search your vmware*.log files or all occurrences ethernetX.generatedAddress to find the older Macs used by the virtual machine.

  • Impossible to copy the old Mac VM (Fusion 2.0.6 running leopard) again Mac (SL running Fusion 3.1.2)

    Just got a new MBP with SL, I upgraded to Fusion 3 and tried to migrate my Windows xp VM on my old MBP at this news.

    Here's what I did:

    (1) stop the virtual machine from windows.

    (2) copy the package of VMware, IE. all under the/Document/Virtual Machines / to the same location of the new MBP

    (3) launching the Fusion 3 on the new MBP

    (4) choose "open an existing virtual machine.

    (5) windows XP VM will appear in the Menu.

    (6) it starts to 'load' but then he says "the virtual machine appears to be in use", and there a yellow warning icon.

    I don't know what is the cause. I already have stop my VM before I copied this on. That is to say. He is not in a paused state.

    I suspect that there may be some impure lock sitting somewhere in those files, tagging, wrongly, that it is used...

    Any help is appreciated. Right now, it seems that I have to continue to use the old MBP/Vmware

    Try looking at the beam (right click on-> show the contents of the package) for folders .lck. If present try to delete.

    If present try to also delete the file .vmss .

  • Thunderbolt 3 connectivity with the old Mac?

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch end 2013 retina with a thunderbolt port 2. I read on the stroke of lightning 3 and since it is in the form of a usb key, unfortunately I is not a port on my mac for her.

    But the speeds were impressive and I wanted to know if I have a cable thunderbolt 3 to crush 2 or Thunderbolt 3 nothing else on my mac (plug in the side shot of lightning 3-port usb c in my monitor), I'd get those same speeds 40 Gbit/s?

    Also, thank you for giving a link to a bolt of lightning to thunderbolt cable 3 2 if you do not find one

    Thank you!

    It is not the connector that is important. This is your internal hardware that doesn't support fast T2 or T3. It only supports speeds of T1. T3 uses the same connector as on the new MacBooks - USB - C 3.1. Save your money. Even if there is a T4 slip, you won't get anything faster than what you have now. Cable determine the speed.

  • Connection of the old Mac Iomega Zip to the Mac Mini

    I couldn't find an answer to this common question I could map to a solution to my problem, so:

    I have an old Iomega 250 MB Zip disk that I used on a Mac of pre-iMac. It is a parallel port connection. I'm trying to use it on a Mac mini running El Capitan. I am trying to connect a parallel cable mini / USB. I am recovering some important files from this bygone era. I have the Mac Ziptools drive.

    I don't know if it's to see the player: he seems afflicted to a connected player ID, but can't open it nor report any info on this.

    So, in fact do this as shown? If this is not the case, how can I do this? Thank you.

    I do not know its being a common question. At least not in this decade.   My G4 has a Zip drive, but it dates back to 2002.

    I don't remember if the readers required Zip one driver special for which I suspect 99.999% there is no version of El Capitan.  He could have that included in the operating system returns with OS9, but because people have stopped using Zip disks long ago should not appear in a newer operating system.

    Lately my Final Cut has agitated fonctionnee.  It doesn't matter if I restart.  To this end, I dropped a bunch of things on the hard drive, so it might work better.  Now, I have 65 GB available and used a 168 on hard drive.  Always the same problem, with no improvement whatsoever.

    I also get the 'Spinning Wheel of Death' almost any time, I try to do anything about the program.  Render times are incredibly long and do chromakey or luma key with other special effects is almost impossible because of the slow times.  Also the same program will not play certain things, but just towers [the spinning wheel of death], and then jumps ahead--possibly after a minute or two.

    Until recently, it was a great machine and I was able to do many things with it, including editing of a feature film.

    If you have thoughts or ideas for me, would be great!

    While 1 GB RAM meets the minimum requirement, I am sure that more RAM would be useful.
