• Updates and the old MacBook

  I have 2 older Macbooks and love them both 17 inches.  I have been informed by Apple, do not update beyond Mt. Lion. Now that we are 2 updates beyond mount Lion I wonder what this will mean for my old machines.  They will stop working?  How far behind can you be and always stay so to speak?  I know these are vague questions, but I'm looking for general information on what is their life expectancy, if that makes sense.  I thought to another, but the screens are so small, they look like phones.

  They will stop working?

  How far behind can you be and always stay so to speak?

  You can continue to use computers without having to install a new OS. You can have problems with apps like Safari software. For example, that the change of the Internet needs, without an update using Safari Safari can begin to experience problems when you use the Internet. You can use an alternative program such as Firefox, which is always being updated.

  Apple provided a reason why you should not update?

  One solution is to create a new partition (~ 30-50 GB), install the new OS, and 'test' it. Otherwise as/like it, you can then remove the partition. Make a backup before doing anything. By doing this, if you don't like it you don't go well the recovery process.

  Check to make sure that your applications are compatible.

Using of the / / / to the low blow it upwards (step 3) until the box the size decreases by about 50 GB. Select the newly created space and press the button (step 4). Name it something and choose Mac OS extended (journaled) format (step 5). Then click on the button apply (step 6). Download the installation program from the App Store and when it starts, point it to the new partition. You can make a copy of the installer out of the Applications folder to avoid having to re - download in the future. One time installed, go to System Preferences/Startup Disk, select the new partition and restart. Test now.

• I have an old MacBook that is stocked with 9.6 OS I want to make a server.  Can I still get a copy of the old version of operating system server for this old MacBook?

  I want to create a network server home on my old MacBook (it can work only 9.6).  Anyone know if I can get an older version of server to work on this MB and which version would work?

  There are a few things wrong with the info you gave...

  He was never an OS 9.6. The latest version of OS 9 ever released was OS 9.2.2.

  No MacBook cannot use any version of OS 9 for any purpose. Even the first MacBook uses a processor Intel and OS 9 (any version) can not run on a platform of Imtel, as a BONE or as classic.

  *****

  The machine is perhaps a model of PowerBook? If so, it might be runing a version of OS 9.

  Please specify the machine model and the version of the OS.

• is there a way for the old macbook to fix?

  Hello

  I have macbook pro late 2011 (MacBook Pro (15 inch, late 2011) - technical specifications). and I think that his (AMD Radeon HD 6770 M) graphics card is broken by my speculation.

  first. made of images on the broken screen. as shifted to the left and/or right to halfway, upward or down etc then it starts to fail when you turn on again. and keep restarting itself. I have double installed mac os and windows, the two shows the bios screen and restarts before os login screens appear.

  My question is if I send it in to apple repair is likely that it can be fixed? and if yes. So how much would it cost? by my calculation cost = map chart of spare + repair expenses.

  because I live in the countries of the third world, it is little difficult and costly to do international shipping. So, I want to be make sure if it is possible and within my portfolio.

  If I give it to local garage, there is more than 90% chance they will change/replace the parties and they say something like "it's broken. and cannot be resolved. You can sell me for $ 50"when I go there more late to take it.

  I saved my income year-round and sold my old laptop to get this macbook in 2012. and I can not just throw it away. Thank you.

  PS: Sorry for my bad English. English is not my mother tongue.

  You need to take it to an Apple store or an Apple authorized service provider. There is a program under repair for these models as detailed here: https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/

  They will run a test to confirm the problem. If so, it produces a special authorization code, they use to order a replacement logic card, then they program with you for the Mac will get a maintenance free of charge.

  Use the Service option to find suppliers in your area here: https://locate.apple.com

• Why should I pay $ 28 on the App Store for Pages on my old MacBook Pro when I have it for free on my new MacBook Pro on my iPad on my iPhone?

  Why should I pay $ 28 on the App Store for Pages on my old MacBook Pro when I have it for free on my new MacBook Pro on my iPad on my iPhone?

  And I could ask the same question for the calculator on the iPad?

  Something I don't understand here...

  Nice day!

  If you have used any other processor of professional quality (for example, Microsoft Word), and then just go ahead and use the current culture of free (financially) applications on devices you mention. It will not take too long before you understand point Apple of giving them. No application in the world can open documents Pages but the most recent version.

  Free will begin to erode when Pages for Mac forget how to open a perfectly fine document that you saved an hour or two ago. Or you realize you have to press the SHIFT key every time you want a first word in a sentence. Or you can not bind the text boxes to the text layout advanced stream. Or you can't do data merge / e-mail. Table of contents page links or comments will not export to PDF.

  Pages is not a clone of Word, and you'll quickly realize that Pages input/export deal with the translation. Open a blank document. Type the letter "A". Export to Word .docx. It will be 494KO in size. Do the same thing in LibreOffice or MS Word and it will be 8 KB.

• For a 15 "old MacBook Pro battery

  I just need a new battery for my old 15-inch MacBook Pro. The battery is model # 10.8V 60Wh A1175.  The Apple store told me to go to their website to buy a. Why is it so difficult to navigate the Apple site?  It took me 30 minutes to be able to find a way to ask this one question.  Somehow, I thought that I could go to their website, find a search box and type in the battery, I need.   HA! HA!  Silly me!

  If I were looking for a battery like that, I would check the well known as Other World Computing hardware vendors.

  (I hae no financial interest in this company.)  I've made purchases with them, even if it has been there quite some time).
