What and How to upgrade Operating System
I bought the macbook pro from an auction, it has OS 10.4.11 (I think thats tiger) can I upgrade straight to the OS Lion, I have a I-mac that has snow leoperd and I have the cd upgrade for it, should I upgrade to the snow leoperd then to lion?
Also, can I upgrade both my I-Mac and Macbook Pro to Lion,
but only have to purchase it once?
Wooops! Forgot to post the first link http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/

HT4561 how to upgrade operating system from 10.5.8 to mountain lion
How do upgrade my I MAC from MAC OS X ro Mountain lion?
To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
8 GB or more of available hard disk space
If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion. Lion costs 99¢ more than Snow Leopard.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
2GB of memory (RAM)
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed: > About this Mac
The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum. -
How to upgrade operating system
can't seem to find 10.7 operating system to download in able to upgrade to Icloud
How to Install Lion Successfully - You must have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 Installed
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.3.) if DW cannot fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup volume. Source means the internal startup volume.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade to Lion:
Purchase the Lion Installer from the Mac App Store. The download will start quickly. Lion is nearly 4 GBs so a fast internet connection is essential. Download time could run upwards of 4 hours depending upon network conditions and server demands at the time.
Boot From The Lion Installer which is located in your Applications folder.
Follow instructions for installation. -
What are the supported Macintosh Operating System versions for IBM SPSS Statistics 18,19 and 20?
Question
I would like to know what are the supported Macintosh Operating system versions for IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18, 19 and 20?
Answer
Please see the list below:
- IBM SPSS Statistics 18 and 19 releases are supported on Apple Macintosh OS 10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) with Intel processor.
- IBM SPSS Statistics 20 release is supported on Apple Macintosh OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and 10.7 (Lion) with Intel processor.
- The IBM SPSS Statistics versions 18 and 19 are not supported on Mac OS 10.7 (Lion).
THIS MEANS THAT TO USE LION ONE FIRST HAS TO UPGRADE TO SPSS STATISTICS 20.Whilst the 2012-02-15 edition of IBM's matrix does not mention Lion, a few users have noted that:
• 18.0 can be troublesome
• an updated version of 18.x should be better.
Related files
PASWStatistics_1 803_Mac_Patch.dmg and IBM SPSS Statistics 18.0.3.4 Hotfix Mac.zip are no longer available from the spss.com domain, and I could not find them in an IBM domain. If you download from unofficial sources, proceed with caution.
Related pages
In Apple Support Communities:
• will PASW (SPSS) 18 work with LION
• PASW statistics 18 crashes every time
• Java Virtual Machine & SPSS 18 with a question from me.
Elsewhere:
• SPSS on Lion « Decorator Pattern
• SPSS / PASW Mac Patch 18.0.3 and Graphing Fix | The Personal Website of Philip Fizur
• Patching PASW 18 (or SPSS 18) for Mac OS X (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion) to version 18.0.3.1
• and other sources, including one domain that I treat as reputable but I'll respectfully not share that link here.
At a glance, you might find that 18.0.3.4 is compatible with Lion. -
How do I back up files to external hard drive in order to upgrade operating system?
How do I back up files to external hard drive in order to upgrade operating system?
Buy yourself a portable hard drive from WD or the like. It should have a capacity at least twice that of your machine hard drive. Then follow the instructions that come with it; it is quite straightforward.
I have a similar machine to you by the sound of it. After the initial back up, it is just a matter of topping up every couple of months or so, plus whenever you do to back up any major upgrade.
A portable one is good because you can store it with relatives when not in use which gives protection in the case of fire or theft.
I use two backups. One, an external HD permanently connected for my Time Machine and the second, a portable for the reasons I gave. -
HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8. Please help me with any suggestions on what to do. Thank you. I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard. The newest ones only work with Lion. My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari. This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site. Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me. I do not know what to do....
Hi Sue,
What exactly happens when trying Safari?
They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want. -
I am selling my Mac Mini. I recently purchased OS X Lion. When I restore to factory settings, how can I ensure that the operating system will still be Lion, and not the original operating system, which I believe was Snow Leopard?
If you bought Lion from the App Store, you can't legally or practically transfer it, because it's tied to your Apple ID. Reinstall the original software from the discs that came with the machine.

I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system. Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was. -

now I dont have the option to share my iPhoto books to idvd... why? what can i do to rectify this?
Purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) ON DISK.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

I have re-installed I-tunes and have a new operating system (Win 7 Pro).
I now cannot sync as I-tunes says my I-Pod is already connected to a library and wants to erase my music on the I-Pod. What do I do to get around this problem?An iPod is designed to be synced with only one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a new/different iTunes library, iTunes on the new/different computer will replace the contents currently on the iPod with whatever is currently stored in its own library.
If the music and content on your iPod is not in iTunes or in a backup somewhere you can use the information in this user tip from another forum member turingtest2 to help you copy this content from the Nano back to the PC and into iTunes.

How to call Operating System commands / external programs from within APEX
Hi,
Can someone please suggest how to call Operating Systems commands / external programs from within APEX?
E.g. say I need to run a SQL script on a particular database. SQL script, database name, userid & password everything is available in a table in Oracle. I want to build a utility in APEX where by when I click a button APEX should run the following
c:\oracle\bin\sqlplusw.exe userud/password@database @script_name.sql
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,Hi Guys,
I have reviewed the option of using scheduler and javascript and they do satisfy my requirements PARTIALLY. Any calls to operating system commands through these features will be made on the server where APEX is installed.
However, here what I am looking at is to call operating systems programs on client machine. For example in my APEX application I have constructed the following strings of commands that needs to be run to execute a change request.
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script1.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script2.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script3.sql
sqlplusw.exe user/password@database @script4.sql
What I want is to have a button/link on the APEX screen along with these lines so that when I click that link/button this entire line of command gets executed in the same way it would get executed if I copy and paste this command in the command window of windows.
Believe me, if I am able to achieve what I intend to do, it is going to save a lot of our DBAs time and effort.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards, -
How to use Operating System Commands while using define in sqlplus
How to use Operating System Commands while using define in sqlplus . The Host OS is Linux
define report_name=PROD_${host date "+%b"}.html
The above is not working.
The output should be
define report_name=PROD_JAN.html
Regards,
DBof course I was talking nonsense: the problem here is the mixing of bind variables and DEFINE variables.
With the following changes the script should work (the conditions for begin_interval_time are perhaps not what you want):
variable snap1 number
variable snap2 number
variable rptname varchar2(20)
begin
SELECT min(snap_id) into :snap1 FROM dba_hist_snapshot WHERE CAST(begin_interval_time AS DATE) >= SYSDATE-1;
SELECT max(snap_id) into :snap2 FROM dba_hist_snapshot WHERE CAST(begin_interval_time AS DATE) >= SYSDATE-1;
end;

CIT200 message, 'Please upgrade operating system' when I click on Linksys
I have removed and re-installed Linksys CIT200 over and over again, but still have the same problem. Whenever my pc XP start up or when I click on Linksys, it wont let me view Linksys and a message pops up. Message reads, 'CIT200 Please upgrade operating system'. I do not know what Im supposed to do. I also had the EAccess Violation message, but managed to remove it with the help of this forum. I cannot use my SKYPE phone at all and I have plenty of credit that I might loose. It says Unavailable.
Please help!!!!!!! I've tried eveything that I (and a local pc repair man) could think ofHi Gollum
Thanks for replying so quickly. If drivers are the same as software, then yes. I uninstalled my software (disc I got with the phone). I then reinstalled it and went to the Linksys website, found my phone ad downloaded the drivers.
If this was wrong, could you give me step by step on where to find the latest software? I couldn't find any mention of software downloads on the website though - only drivers. Are they the same?
As I mentioned, even with the driver download, I have had no joy -

in System Preferences make sure FileVault is off, i'd turn off AirPort, and make sure Energy Saver is set to it's least restrictive settings (like not allowing the hard drive to sleep)

a bit, i wouldn't worry about problems until you run into any. i've recorded a lot more, with a lot less

that is probably the only stumbling block i can see. if you run into an issue where the drive isn't fast enough for the number of Audio tracks with which you wish to work, you can buy a FireWire hard drive to solve it (and shopping around they can be had for under $100 [a lot less if you're willing to "roll-your-own"])
