Upgrade or not?

I have the snow leopard program on my mac book pro 10.6.8. Should i upgrade to yosemite or to another package?

You have only the choice of Yosemite. Unless you have a need to use Yosemite there is no urgency to upgrade. You may want to check if your software will ever work with Yosemite: See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • The latest upgrade is not compatible. it says error run platform 17.0.1 is not compatible with min version 17.0 max version 17.0

    the latest upgrade is not compatible and is not allowing me to open firefox. the error message says run error platform 17.0.1 is not compatible with min version >17.0 max version <17.0

    hello paisley157, this error might be caused by security programs such as zone alarm - please temporarily disable those programs for the following procedure:
    *download the full firefox setup file from getfirefox.com
    *uninstall firefox on the machine (but don't chose to delete your custom files & settings in the uninstaller!)
    *manually delete all remaining files in the firefox program folder, which usually resides in ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\''
    *reinstall firefox

  • The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix?

    The current iTunes 10.5 upgrade does not install on Windows 7 and indicates a faulty install package (error 2324). Advice or details on the release date for a proper fix? I'm not able to roll back to the prior version, so I'm stuck in limbo.

    There have been a number of problems with installing the latest iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit machines during the last couple of weeks.  You might want to do a search on that topic and see if anyone has a solution.  There have been various versions of the problem but a lot related to errors in the download package or failure to download.

  • My Note 3 had 220  contacts, upgraded to note 4 and now have 72 contacts and my Verizon Cloud app shows error code 4600.  How do i get my remaining contacts?

    I had a Note 3 and had 220+ contacts.  While I had it I performed a factory reset several times and always got all of my contacts restored.  My phone was upgraded to  Note 4 at my job yesterday.  I completed a factory reset on My Note 3, turned it into my IT department and received my Note 4.  My phone had since only has 72 contacts (it was 56 then 76 and now 72).  When I run the Verizon Cloud app it will display an error code 4600.  While in the Verizon Cloud app, if I open detailes about contacts it states there are only 5 contacts.  i did use the Backup assistant on the Note 3 but that app is not found on the Note 4. 
    I went by the Verizon store yesterday, the rep stated that she needed the old phone (it was wiped),
    How can I restore the remaining contacts to my Note 4 from verizon?

        Thank you for reaching out to us, todfloyd. Sorry to hear about your contacts not all syncing correctly to your new Note 4. Let's see what we can do to get them all over to your new phone. Have you had a chance to view your contacts via your My Verizon page? Once you have logged in, please hover you mouse over the My Verizon Tab, and click on the View All option at the bottom of the pop up.
    Once the page loads, please view the options on the right hand side. Under Additional Actions, please choose Manage my Contacts and Media.
    Do all of your contacts appear there?

  • TS1702 PrintDirect Application Upgrade does not reauthenticate on iPad Air.

    Hi
    Can anyone assist me please.
    I purchased the PrintDirect Application for both my iphone 5S and new ipad air, both are running latest IOS software. The app. is downloaded first as a free app, then with purchase of an in-app upgrade to obtain full features. On the iphone 5S all is fine, on the ipad air the upgrade is not reauthenticating. By that I mean that when the upgrade is first downloaded, all is fine. After closing the app and re-starting the upgrade is stated as installed but does not function. if i download again for free, the app works correctly......until I close it and try to start again. The only way I can get it to work is to download the update again each time I wish to use it. I have tried deleting and re-installing from scratch, turning ipad off/on, etc, but no change.
    App providers have not been able to help, suggest I contact itunes, waiting on call.
    has anyone else had this problem with this app or others.
    thanks
    Ray

  • Issue while Upgrading to SQL 2014 from 2012. " The specified Edition upgrade is not supported."

    Hello Team
    I am seeing this issue while I am trying to do an in-place upgrade from SQL Server 2012 to SQL 2014. Both being Enterprise Editions I am still seeing the below error message in the Feature Upgrade checks.
    " The specified Edition upgrade is not supported"
    Please let me know if anyone else has faced this issue and any workarounds? I am not doing "Edition Upgrade", just wanted to upgrade same edition of 2012 to 2014.
    SQL Server details that is being upgrade: 
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3368.0 (X64)

    Hi Shanky_621
    Thanks for the reply. Yes I was told that it is SQL 2014 Enterprise Edition. Is there a way to verify that? Also yes I did not select the free Evaluation or Express Editions.
    Just run the setup you got for SQL server 2014 and you would reach to page where it would say enterprise or standard after that cancel the setup . Actually version number can be found from Mediainfo located in same folder where setup.exe is located but edition
    cannot be found by that way.

  • Adobe Flash Upgrade will not install after Firefox upgrade to 3.6.7

    I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.7. After the upgrade I got a message that I needed to upgrade Adobe Flash due to security vulnerabilities. The Flash upgrade will not install. It simply sits and never installs no matter how long I wait.
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice

    Thanks for your response. I have previously reviewed this. The only potential problem it seems to resolve is having 2 versions of Shockwave installed. I only have one. The only thing I can think of to do is just uninstall the one version and see if it will trigger an installation. When I go to the Flash install site, I agree to the terms and get the next screen that says download will start. I never get a message asking if it's ok to run or anything. No matter where I look for a download for Flash I wind up at the same place with the same problem. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Lightroom upgrade will not load when it is opened.

    When I load Lightroom upgrade to 4.0 and try to open the upgrade it hangs during loading of the catalog.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the upgrade does not work.  I'm running Win 7 64 bit.

    It sounds like the software equivalent of a heart attack in old age! My prescription would be LR 5.7 used daily.

  • Photoshop CS6 Upgrade Does Not Recognize CS3 Extended as Qualifying Product

    I am unable to install my Photoshop CS6 upgrade because the upgrade does not recognize a qualifying product on my system.  When asked, I enter my current Photoshop CS3 Extended serial number, but the upgrade does not recognize it as a valid serial number from a qualifying product.  I have tried to do a clean install to make sure no other applications were running or in conflict.  My operating system is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Service Pack 3.  I have an Intel Core 2, Quad CPU @2.66 GHz with 4GB RAM.

    The upgrade doesn't simply happen. The Yosemite installer is downloaded to your Applications folder and normally it starts but then waits for you to begin the actual installation. Look in your Applications folder for the installer, double click on it and follow the instructions. Note that when the installation is finished, the installer deletes itself. If you want to keep it for future use, duplicate it first.

  • I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion.

    I have OS X 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade, but not to Mountain Lion. How do I upgrade to Leopard or snow leopard?

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
