I don't know how to do this for our A1181 macbook.Ĭan anyone advise me on what is the latest OS (Yosemite, Mountain Lion, 10.7, 10.8, 10.10, etc) that the A1181 is capable of running/installing and how I would install it? Are these OSX disks sold at the Apple store? And how I would go about wiping the hard drive clean and optimizing as I would a Windows computer by reinstalling the OS? Thank you so much for the help!

I admit I have tons of experience with Windows, and to do something similar on Windows I would just reinstall Windows 7 from an OS boot disk/USB, and delete the system-old folder to start anew. I wish to completely wipe it clean and basically start the computer over from factory settings, as in re-install the operating system, clean-slate the hard drive, and optimize the computer to run at maximal speed (it's very sluggish right now). I've backed up ALL the possible files on it on an external hard drive and USB (documents, photos, music, school/homework files, etc). I want to refurbish it for my mom who wishes to use it. It was distributed by a college my sister attended, but the school did not require its students to return the laptops, so we kept it. If it helps: it is possibly the first of the Macbook line, all white, 13-inch, designated A1181. So backup religiously – though I'm sure you do so anyways now.I have a Macbook A1181 model, possibly early 2007 or 2006 (I'm unable to tell except that it is A1181). If that file that is your virtual Mac's hard disk ever gets corrupted, you may lose everything. More often, make a backup of your import work files and Xcode project, copying off to Dropbox, Google Drive, or external hard drive or SD card. Instead, do an occasional backup of that large file. Tell Time Machine to avoid backing up the 20-50 gig file that is your virtual Mac's hard disk.

No such thing as a free lunch! (But this arrangement comes close) Backups
Ram cleaner mac 10.7.5 upgrade#
Though, I may need to shell out some money to upgrade my Parallels 8 to the new version 9. With this arrangement, I am free to consider upgrading my real Mac to Mavericks while keeping my Parallels 8 + Mountain Lion + Xcode 4.6.3 work environment intact. I've also run earlier versions of Xcode 4 on Lion (besides Mountain Lion) in Parallels 8. You can plug in an iOS device for direct debugging via USB cable – Parallels asks whether you want the connected device to be seen by the real Mac or the virtual Mac. I routinely do searches for that evil character, and try to make a habit of hitting Backspace after pasting text brought over from the real Mac.Īnother bug: Horizontal scrolling by finger-swiping on my Apple Magic Mouse does not work in the virtual environment.īut Parallels 8 + Mountain Lion + Xcode 4.6.3 works well.
The only bad bug is that copying text from the real Mac and pasting into the virtual Mac appends an extra mysterious invisible character that wreaks havoc, including preventing compiling of Objective-C code. My Experienceįor my current project, I run Xcode 4.6.3 targeting iOS 5 & 6 in Parallels 8 (9 is now available) on a Mac mini (Late 2012) with 16 gigs of memory and i7 quad-core with 8 virtual cores driven by Mountain Lion 10.8.5 on the real Mac, while the virtual Mac has 4 gigs of memory and 2 cores. By unused, I mean the green colored piece of pie in Activity Monitor. If you want a 3 or 4 gig virtual Mac, you'll need about that much space unused on your Mac. The one thing you'll need is memory (RAM). I think of the real Mac like I do my home, with personal property, while I think of the virtual Mac as my office space, my cubicle, having only work-related items. All my own personal stuff is kept to the real Mac. This arrangement has many advantages, including resisting the pushing and shoving of Apple to constantly upgrade our OS, Xcode, and iOS targets.Īnother advantage is a pristine working environment with its own clean Keychain, Desktop, and so forth having only items related to Xcode project(s). To answer your question, "Any suggestions?": Use a virtualizer like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox to run Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks in a virtual environment. Tip: If you are looking at picking up older devices, you'll want to target iOS 4.2.1 not 4.3, as every device supporting 4.3 can be upgraded to iOS 5.
Ignore the snarky comments by people like matheszabi there are good reasons to support the millions of units of older devices.
