A Good Upgrade Story to 7.0.2

I have been seeing alot of people with bad experiences and wanted to post my upgrade story, since it went well...
I initially upgraded to 7.0 went it first came out and iTunes would freeze and shutdown randomly. Well since then I upgraded my ram to 1.5 from the stock 512. and was still learl of upgrading but I wanted the cool visuals with the album artwork really, dumb reason to upgrade I know.
I ran disk utilities, verified permissions. Made two back ups to itunes to two different externals, (80 gigs of music) and hoped for the best.
after install and resart, I ran verified permissions, restarted and when I opened Itunes, I was happy to see all of my Smart Playlists and regular playlists and ratings were in place.
So I don't know if it's the additional RAM that helps or the various other security updates I ran and got my computer up to date but I had a good upgrade. Cheers.

There are changes in the NAT syntax & Object Grouping. Also on VPN configurations.....
You need to make sure that certain things are taken care in new ASA which runs in 8.4 Version.
I have attached reference for NAT changes pre and post 8.3, which might be helpful for you.
Using the packet tracer command you can check the NAT rules are working and ACL is working fine.

    Somewhat my ipad is slow to respond.
    Plz share ur comment on this.

    Well when I first upgraded, my music kept skipping after a couple of song changes. But when I upgraded to IOS 5.0.1 it stopped the skipping, however, I do experiences crashes time to time. Overall, it is a good upgrade.

  • 15"Macbook Pro fall 2011 with Core i7 2.0 GHZ, 8GB RAM v/s 2013 Macbook Air 13". Is it a good upgrade?

    HI All
    This is my first post here. As mentioned I have a fall 2011 15"Macbook Pro fall 2011 with Core i7 2.0 GHZ, 8GB RAM and i was thinking of buying a 2013 Macbook Air 13". Is it a good upgrade? I do light video editing and day to day tasks like word processing, email etc.
    How would the performance of the Macbook Air with the Core i5 with 4 gb Ram be compared to the old Macbook Pro 15 with Core i7 Quad 2.0 ghz with 8 GB Ram.
    Thanks
    Sunny

    The main advantage would be a solid state drive. This will improve performance and speed moreso than RAM considerations. The disadvantage will be a loss of storage space. Moreover, one of the disadvantages of a SSD is that the more storage space used on it, the slower it becomes and the quicker it will deteroriate.
    If you do video editing, I would take the GPU into consideration. Does your 15'' come with a discrete GPU? The integrated GPU on the MBA (intel HD 5000) is better than the 2011 MBP integrated GPU (3000), but it includes no discrete GPU.
    Depending on how much storage space you use on your HDD currently + how many graphics intensive programs you run, you may want to consider upgrading your current machine with a SSD, upgrading your RAM on current machine to 16 gb (~160$ through macmemory or newegg), or purchasing a new Macbook Pro rather than Macbook Air.
    Last thing I would add:
    You will never be able to upgrade MBA RAM. It is soldered to the logicboard on the new models, non-retina included. You may wan to opt with the 8 GB RAM configuration.

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB good upgrade from stock?

    Hi,
    I currently have an ATI Radeon 9650 in my Dual 2.0Ghz PowerMac G5.
    I have found a good deal for an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB card.
    Do you think it is a worthwhile purchase?
    Specs on the 9800: http://www.superwarehouse.com/ATIRadeon_9800_Pro_Mac_Edition_128MB_VideoCard/100-435050/ps/333809

    No, what you want is this.
    http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx800/radeonX800xtme/index.html
    buy page is here
    http://www.ati.com/buy/pricesmacusa.html
    It has a Dual Link and a ADC port on the back, so you can hook up anything from a 30" Apple (Dual Link) to any regular DVI (hooks up to Dual Link) to any legacy ADC (plastic) Apple display.
    It's also the fastest current card on the market for your machine.
    Check out the ATI upgrade program, you might qualify for a discount.
    They send you the new card, you send them the old. But it may be wise to have two video cards, one for backup as they are getting scarce.
    3D gaming is always pushing the video card envelope, so it's actually best to get the best right away to prolong your 3D gaming experience.
    If you "half-step" it, then when you use a new game, it's crippled.
    3D gaming performance is almost entirely video card performance dependent.
    See Barefeats comparison here

    I have the new Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, which 3D animates all the rides. I've created a park that's only 1/4 of the available space and I'm getting dropped frames on my 6800GT and that's more powerful that the 128MB ATI card you mentioned.
    Quake 4 runs great on my card, Doom 3 is fine, just a few stutters.
    UT2004 runs great. Nanosaur 2 is very smooth.
    So spend your money wisely, get the powerful card. Trust me.

  • One Man's 10.5.2 upgrade story...

    Holy crap, man! After reading all the horror stories about upgrading to 10.5.2, I was hesitant to take the dive. For one day. Yesterday I downloaded the combo upgrade, which took a bit. Today I kicked off the installer and... holy smokes! It took approximately, hmm, how to say this without sounding silly... FIVE MINUTES for the upgrade to complete. That includes the required two restarts.
    The Quicktime and video updates that followed took longer!
    Admittedly, I'm not a Mac power user. The only third party app I have installed is Firefox. (I've been using iPhoto mostly. Which, btw, runs fine and didn't hose my library.)
    My Windows shares are now showing up in Finder's sidebar. I'll give it a couple of weeks before I jump up and down in celebration. When I first installed 10.5.1 it showed my Windows shares automagically in Finder. Then, one day, BANG! Gone...
    I guess the main gist of this post is: the 10.5.2 update didn't blow up on me. And it was FAST!
    Not a great help to those experiencing problems, I know. But after enduring over a year of folks crying about Vista in the MS NG's, when I had no major issues with it, I can state, once again, for good or ill, that I've not encountered the same problems so many in this forum have.
    10.5.2 upgrade worked here. Like a charm.
    Good luck to all of you who are having issues... I feel your pain!
    Regards,
    Lang

    Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. Saw the same kind of stuff in the Vista NG's over the past year. "I installed Vista and now my favorite app, "DoodleFutz," that I got in 1993 won't run anymore! Vista *****!" or, better still, someone buys a PC that has new hardware for which there are only Vista drivers... no XP drivers. Person says they want to "go back" to XP, only they can't... there are no XP drivers. It's like none of those people ever heard of the term "due diligence." (As a sidebar... I installed three Win95 era apps and they all ran fine. Admittedly, one did blow up each and every time it was closed, but it would create files and save them and work fine while in it...)
    But in terms of the 10.5.2 update... since my seat is so vanilla and just a few months old, I assumed my upgrade would be pretty straightforward.
    Moving from Windows to OS X has been interesting. Not sure I agree fully with Apple's "works the way you do" spiel. That said, as I become more familiar with iPhoto, I really like it a lot. I've only done one DVD with iDVD but that's pretty cool too. All in all, I like OS X and have been using it as my primary system with daily jaunts back to XP, to use the TV card in that box. When I save enough for an eyeTV card, then I'll probably be doing everything on my MP.

  • OT: Good NPR story about home recording

    While they did not mention any platform, NPR had a radio story about getting pros to help you with your home recordings.
    Want to get Lee Sklar to play bass for your composition?
    http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9163100

    Wes: I purchased a Behringer mic200, which is a low priced tube preamp with +48v phantom power for a condenser mic. I have been very happy with the results and features. I know that A.R.T. also makes a good one. Only problem for you is that these preamps are powered via a wall wart. Set up is via the audio input jack as opposed to usb.

  • IMac Crt trayloading 333hz - is this a good upgrading plan?

    I've been suffering through Netscape 7.0 becuase that's what's available for OS9.2 Time to move on up.
    My primary machine is a 333hz G3 trayloading iMac with the RAM maxed out at 512mg. I have updated the firmware so OS X may be installed.
    I have networked it with a 266 and will back up the entire drive onto the 266.
    Here are my questions.
    1-I bought a set of used 10.3.9 disks but found out they are DVD. Is there anyway to transfer this to CD so I can install them on my 333hz machine? I have access to a CD/DVD/RW but when I open up the DVD all I see are aliases.
    2- If I can't use the 10.3 DVD I also have 10.2 on CD and will use that instead. Did it come with Safari?
    3- Since OS X uses mush more RAM (but I'll probably trim it down as much as I can) and the machine only has a 6gb drive I figured I'd use an 40-80gb external drive to hold my files and use the machine's drive for the OS and applications. Will that work OK?
    4- The OS X machine will be primarily used so I can use either Safari or Firefox for the internet. I will still have my 266 machine running 9.2 and many older apps. Can I network a machine that uses 9.2 with one that's using OS X?
    5- Concerning external drives, do they connect with the ethernet port or USB? I have an etheret hub, I'd like to actaully network the two iMacs (one running 9.2 and the other running OS X) and the external drive. Will this work? Can I add a burner?
    Thanks for any help you may offer with this grand scheme

    Thanks for any help you may offer with this grand scheme.
    My personal assessment of this grand scheme is that it is not cost effective. Since the days of iMac 333, the Mac hardware has gotten a lot cheaper, and upgrades for kit that is more than 5 years old is becoming increasingly hard to find. I suggest a new Mac Mini.
    3- Since OS X uses mush more RAM (but I'll probably trim it down as much as I can) and the machine only has a 6gb drive I figured I'd use an 40-80gb external drive to hold my files and use the machine's drive for the OS and applications. Will that work OK?
    OS X 10.2 or 10.3 will run smoothly on the 512MB of RAM that you have, but everything will be noticably slow because of your slow processor speed (G3/333). Particularly your slow memory bus (PC66) is going to be a constraint because OS X draws a lot of its visual elements from the system memory.
    You will be much better off putting the 40-80 GB (7200 RPM) drive inside the machine if that is the drive you are going to use. It will be faster, and cheaper, and generally more stable. Compared to your 6GB 5400 RPM drive, it'll feel a little faster. But your constraint is the ATA-33 IDE bus (33MHz) inside the iMac. Another reason to upgrade. The current ATA buses are running at 133MHz and the faster Serial ATA are now up to 150 MHz.
    4- Can I network a machine that uses 9.2 with one that's using OS X?
    Yes.
    Your upgrades (like burner, new hard drive, the time you spend messing with it, etc.) will be much more expensive than a $599 Mini. The Mini comes with an intel processor, lots more RAM, and a much faster bus on almost every single component. (667 MHz frontside bus versus 66 MHz; a 1.5GHz processor versus 333 MHz; a burner; a DVD drive; Gigabit ethernet versis 10Mbps ethernet...) The list goes on. It's time to buy a new machine.

  • 2007 15 inch MacBook Pro With Bad Battery, Bad Logic Board, Unreliable USB Ports - Good News Story?

    I'm posting this to put it out there just in case someone else has had similar experiences. My MBP is a 2007 with the Intel Core 2 Duo 2.15 GHz processor running 10.6.8. I've had it since 2009, and it has been a flawless machine for me until recently.
    In the last two weeks, the mouse would no longer respond to touch - it felt mushy instead of clicking. The machine also was extremely sensitive to any touch on the top of the computer. Lastly, and most frustratingly, the USB ports would randomly stop working upon waking the computer up. I use it in clamshell mode a lot, with a mac keyboard and a kensington turbo mouse. Often, the mouse would not work upon waking the computer up. Rebooting was the only solution and I was doing a lot of rebooting. This is my everything computer - work and personal - so I wanted someone to look at it.
    I took it into a local business that specializes in Mac repair since it was vintage. After a day, the tech called me and said that the battery was split and that my other issues were probably logic board problems, and the logic board would be hard to find and expensive to replace. He said I might be able to use it without the battery, but that obviously would be a pain. The tech felt such pity for me that he did not even charge me the diagnostic fee.
    I tried using it without the battery and the machine was extremely jittery in its response, plus the mouse button would still not work. I put the bad, split battery back in, and it did respond better (though not the mouse). I have just enough knowledge to know that electronics can behave very strangely when their batteries are bad and this one was especially bad. Against the tech's advice, I spent $69 for an Anker replacement battery from Amazon. I put it in, and all of my problems have gone away - including the mouse which now clicks just like it did 5 years ago when I bought it. It might be total coincidence, and I'm certainly not saying to anyone that if you have similar issues with your older, but much beloved MBP, that this will do the trick, but I did want to get this out there because $69 for a new battery is a lot better than >$1200 for a new machine (if you do not currently have or want to spend the money).
    I do a weekly time machine backup and I will be really sad when this computer finally gives up the ghost, but since I've gotten a lot of good information from these forums, I wanted to pass this information along in the hope that it might help someone in the community.  The two Steves have my undying admiration and respect.

  • A strange UCS upgrade story (N1k was the bad guy)

    FYI
    I would like to give you some information which caused quite a bit of trouble.
    UCS with 4 chassis and 16 B250-M2, HDS storage, Brocade SAN, running 2.0.4d, ESXi 5.1.
    We upgraded infrastructure to 2.2.3c and servers to 2.1.3f.
    Due to some wrong setup, we also had to create new pools for UUID, MAC, pwwn, nwwn, new Template, and therefore 16 new SP.
    After about 10 servers were updated without problems, the sh... hit the fan: moving any VM back to a newly upgraded server: no IP reachability (ping failed); management interface of the ESXi was reachable, ESXi properly joined Vcenter server.
    This task was done remotely, from Europe to SFO (9 hours time difference) ! There was also no network guy available.
    Solution:
    Management interface was on a old fashion vswitch (what we preach since years ! otherwise a supergau would happened); all the remaining interfaces were on N1k DVS.
    N1k licensing: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/nexus-1000v-switch-vmware-vsphere/116257-trouble-uuid-vsm-00.html
    Nexus 1000v VSM and Host UUID Changes
    The VSM of a Nexus 1000v switch issues licensing to hosts based on the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the hardware. This means that, if a host UUID changes for whatever reason, it is viewed as a new host by the VSM. While it is unusual for a host UUID to change during its lifetime, Cisco is aware of two situations that can cause a UUID change - a VMware software defect in ESXi 5.0 and a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) firmware defect on M3 blades.
    When the UUID changes, the VSM sees the previously loaded module as a new host. The host is loaded as a new module and assigned a new module number and new license. If no licenses are available, the host is assigned an overdraft license; if there are no overdrafts available, the host is not assigned a license at all. If there are production virtual machines (VMs) on this host, they can no longer pass traffic, because unlicensed hosts cannot receive programming from the VSM.

    I personally like the extra beeps, as you know the USB devices are working.
    But MSI could had made an effort and document it, as many people get worried over nothing.
    Anyway, glad you tested it and it was the USB beeps  

  • Is it a good upgrade?

    I currently use FCE4 for my editing and was wondering if it was worth the $299 to upgrade to FCPX.

    Sounds like FCPX will be fine for you!!
    Remember you won't be able to import old projects or use old plugins (yet... maybe...)
    You will only be able to capture your footage in a "capture now" style... not logging/batch capturing
    You will see some massive benefits, but will have to relearn everything you do.
    Someone mentioned somewhere about issues with HDV content, but I may be wrong.

  • What Mac compatible graphics card makes a good upgrade from the Radeon HD 5870?

    Hello all,
    I am looking to upgrade from my Radeon HD 5870. I am running a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 12 core with 48GB RAM. The main reason for the upgrade is because I have a nice new Dell UP2414Q display for my 4k work. Problem is the HD 5870 won't support 3840x2160 as far as I can tell.
    I have really limited knowledge about graphics cards, so when I started dipping a toe into the world of graphics cards I got really overwhelmed and would appreciate anyone's advice on here.

  • Changed to BT and so far a good news story....

    Just thought I'd report a pleasant experience as far as BB goes.  Even though I had sort of resigned myself to accept what I had been getting for the last few years ("nothing we can do because it's limited by the distance you are from the exchange, sir") I recently changed from Virgin spurred on by a 27% price hike.  The interruption of service was only a couple of hours, which was the first pleasant surprise (took 4 weeks for some reason last time).  Measures have been taken at random times of day and so far the results are a continuing pleasant surprise - see graph.

  • Is yosemite a good upgrade?

    ok , ill try this again.  first post was deleted.  what are your opinions?  I have heard some bad things about this operating system.  But , some seem to be championing it as well .  please weigh in , as i am delaying it.  I use my computer for work and can't afford to lose time and money and hair.

    It's mainly going to depend on your machine and the manner of installation. Sounds like you would want to install in place, instead of erasing your hard drive's contents and installing as new. Some glitches can carry over using this method. You'll definitely lose time no matter what, as it's not a quick procedure. If your machine meets the requirements there should be no problem, but if it "barely" meets the requirements you might see some performance issues. Basically though, if you're already running Mavericks you shouldn't have any new performance issues.
    You can read about Yosemite's features on Apple's OS X page and decide if they are worth it to you. Other than those features, the main difference is in the look, or design of the GUI. Everything is familiar function-wise, but a bit of an appearance change.
    I love it personally. I have an older MacBook Pro with SSD and it runs very fast and smoothly on it. I transferred all my non-expendable apps and files to a second hard drive and performed a clean install of Yosemite though.
    I wouldn't recommend forming an opinion from reading the discussions because this is where everyone with any little issue comes to post about their issue. It may look like there are an overwhelming number of problems.

  • Is the KIN TWOm a good upgrade?

    I have to get a feature phone (no data plan for me) and at the moment I have an enV touch. I was pretty much thinking of getting a Samsung SCH u370 or this phone but I wasnt sure which one to get since the Samsung phone looks really similar to my enV touch. Do you KIN TWOm owners like the phone? It seems there are lots of negative reviews about it and people saying theres like nothing to do on it. 
    Thanks

    Well, I guess you could say that there's nothing to do on it other than talk, text, take pictures & videos with the 8 megapixel camera, download and listen to music on the built-in zune player, retrieve and send e-mail from multiple accounts, and use the web with WiFi.
    On the other hand, if you're looking for something to download games and other apps to, then you won't be happy with this device. You can't use VZbackup, VZnavigator, etc.
    Basically, if you're looking for a portable communications device with a pretty nice camera, music player and WiFi to avoid data charges, I think you'll be happy.
    If you're looking for a device to play games and download apps to, then you should probably look at something else.
     One more thing...when I was looking for my phone, I noticed that several of the feature phones (Samsung Intensity II for example) had 2.5mm headphone jacks rather than the standard 3.5mm.  That means that most headphones/earbuds you may have won't fit without an adapter.  Also, while most do not have WiFi, some don't even have 3G. They just have 1X (or 2G), which is much slower.  The Kin 2 has a standard 3.5mm jack and 3G in addition to WiFi.
    So it really boils down to what's important to you.

Maybe you are looking for
