Any 2.4.13 to 2.5.16 upgrade "gotchas"?

We're currently running with 2.4.13 on Linux, and are considering upgrading to 2.5.16; however, some of the vague-ish comments about upgrading in the 2.5.13 change logs have us a little concerned. Sorry if this has been covered before - a search of the forum didn't turn up anything like our concerns.
From the change log: "Containers do not require upgrade; however because 2.5 bundles Berkeley DB 4.8 environment directories and log files will not be compatible with previous releases. This means checkpoint, backup and recovery procedures are necessary to start with a clean environment especially for transactional environments. "
Okay, we are definitely a transactional environment - so what exactly is meant by "checkpoint, backup and recovery procedures"? I'm guessing that checkpoint means you just call txn_checkpoint as soon as you open the environment with the new version of DBXML, and we always open the environment with the DB_RECOVER flag; but does "backup" mean we need to make a copy of the entire database somewhere? We're running on what is effectively an embedded system and really don't want to have to deal with any major steps on an upgrade.
Thanks in advance!
Wendy M.

Wendy,
The archive step is so that you have a backup in the event something goes wrong. After running recovery on your environment you can safely copy the database and log file(s) to a backup directory. The database alone is probably sufficient as well. The best thing is to do a dry-run to be sure that the process works on disposable data.
Regards,
George

haha, so now i'm thinking. I'm learning the terminal as fast as i can but there are several lines of codes and commands in there that throws up red flags to me that i don't fully understand. It just looks fishy too me. It would be highly appreciated if someone could just check this out just to tell me that i don't need to worry about it. Or point me in the right direction. I just feel un easy about this. ha.

Ben do you receive any specific error messages? Were you able to apply the updates successfully?

Have Photoshop 7.0.1 - recently quit saving as or saving photos after changes. Just hangs until i kill process with task manager. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Any suggestions? I don't want to upgrade to CC as I hate subscription services and often ha

Just hangs until i kill process with task manager. Have uninstalled and reinstalled. Any suggestions? I don't want to upgrade to CC as I hate subscription services and often have internet connection services interuppted.

Which operating system are you using?
Resetting the photoshop preferences might cure the problem.
Press and hold down the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys down just after starting the launch of photoshop 7
(Shift-Command-Option on a mac)
Keep holding the keys down until you get a dialog asking if you want to delete the adobe photoshop settings file
Press Yes

I dont have any Add-ons with my FireFox. After upgrade to the latest version 26.0 I'm keep getting Script error "chrome://global/content/binding/popup.xml:580"

Quite frequently I'm keep getting the error like "Script is not responding....I dont have any Add-ons with my FireFox. After upgrade to the latest version 26.0 I'm keep getting Script error "chrome://global/content/binding/popup.xml:580" Stop or Continue Script.
Currently I don't have any Add-Ons installed in my FireFox, so I can suspect any Add-ons.
I'm facing this issue only after the upgrade to 26.0 recently.

There is something Definitely wrong with iOS 7 regarding DATA USAGE being logged to wireless carrier in for WIFI instead.
I read all the previous replies and same issue.
I rarely use my mac to sync....its all wifi sync for the last 2 years....never had this issue before... and i know it began with iOS7.... here is why....
My iPhone was at home when I updated to iOS7 connected to wifi...but it logged Data Usage to Rogers Wireless (700MB approx)...data will never do an update over 50mb in app store (it gives the warning to use wifi) I play a lot of games and pay for them so I always update through App Store. 2 weeks later, simposons halloween update (650mb)...at home, using wifi.
Rogers told me there was 700+mb data usage on the day of update and 650+mb data on oct 1.st (tapped out).
Went over my 6GB plan and paid the fees.
This has never happened before...It must come to apples attention by now...

Has any one had problems finding RSS feeds after upgrading to 10.8?

RSS feeds no longer appear in Mail in Mountain Lion (nor in Safari). You'll need a separate RSS application.
BTW, this forum is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The forum for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is this one:

CMD+ any shortcut doesn't work in Safari after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading from Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 not a single CMD+ shortcut works?!
For example CMD+tab works (switching between apps), ctrl+tab works (switching between tabs), but none of these work: CMD+W, CMD+Q, CMD+F, CMD+C, CMD+X, CMD+P...
They all work perfectly fine in all other apps. It's just Safari.
Does anyone have any idea why and how to fix this?

I have a similar pb :
CMD+SHIFT+1,2,3,... doesn't work in safari.
I'm using "English interface" with "French keyboard".
following miladc advice and link (Shortcuts not working on Safari and Firefox),
I changed my Language pref to French ... so I got "French interface" with "French keyboard" ... and it worked once !!!!
But it works no more ... very weird
All I want to do, it's having shortcut for my bookmarklet !

Upgraded my iPad to v 5.0.1 and can find no way to add an event to iCal. There are no longer any " " signs and tapping on the calendar doesn't do anything except turn the page. Any suggestions? It worked fine before the upgrade.

iCal was working fine before upgrading to v. 5.0.1 on my iPad. All the events from my iCloud account have disappeared and I cannot find a way to add a new event. No "+" sign, tapping doesn't work. I've tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions?

Peggy,
Go to iPad>Settings>iCloud, and turn Calendars "Off." Then after waiting a couple of minutes turn Calendars back "On."

AAAGGH! can't copy any files to back-up so I can upgrade so I can copy ...

I have recently finally gone to OS10.4.9 on a new machine. But I still have my old 9.2.2 G3 imac. I recently inherited a copy of OS10.3.5 on CDs so that I can FINALLY upgrade the imac and not be running into any of these cross platform little problems. So I went to copy many of my core files from the G3 onto the harddrive of the G5 over the network, as a precaution before upgrading the operating software (and yes I have done the firmware update already) BUT
every time I try to copy files the G5 server disconnects.
so I researched this forum and discovered that I need to overwrite my library item to the old version. But where do I find such a thing since I have just been letting the "software update" do all the software updating on the G5??
and another thing ...
I have original disks from mac for this software. Do I need to partition my hard drive and install the operating system in the first 10G?
to partition my drive will mean wiping my harddrive, correct? So I need to backup all these files before upgrading but this G3 machine does not have a firewire port, nor a CD writer nor a disk drive, ONLY an ethernet port. So the G5 is my only backup option right now. Does this look how it looks to everyone else or am I missing some simple thing?

iMac G3 bondi :: imac G5 isight Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I'm sure that I have an Imac G5, the last of the powerPC family. Bought it reconditioned from mac a year ago. And only over the winter did I get myself fully OSX'd.
Now, about that no new operating system stuff...
I just read on this forum about folks who are having troubles now that they ahve upgraded from OS10.4.5 to 10.4.9 (i think?!) that their OX9 machine can't copy to the OSX machine either. And their solution was to get an older copy of the hard disk driver (I am such an idiot and I can't find the other post but I am trying not to sound too offbase!) and then they can copy without difficulty. I am receiving the exact same error message that they are with the server disconnect. So I thought maybe I had the same trouble since my operating system got updated recently with a software update thingy-ma-doodle.
I will try connect from the G5: such a simple work around!! Why didn't I think of that?! thanks ...
Next, I have already updated my firmware with the appropriate firmware updater from this site. (I hope! I followed instructions in a tutorial and all the messages said the right things)
The disks themselves say: Mac OSX panther version 10.3.5 install disk 1 and disk2 and diks3, and they are black and look like your picture. It also came with an Ecode tools disk and an installation and setup guide along with the license.
Do I need to partition the drive so that the software is in the first 10G of the 40G harddrive? Will it reformat my disk? I have never partitioned before. I have read about it but I don't really know what to expect.

Any fixes available yet to the 4.3 "upgrade" ??

Like apparently thousands of others, I have had problems with my wifi connection after the 4.3 update. I tried switching off the auto network switch in the advanced settings (that seemed to work for awhile), I tried safe mode with no improvement. The phone keeps scanning for a connection, and when I select my home network (the wireless router is 2 ft, away), it says "Authentication error occurred" I haven't seen anyone with this message yet. I have triple checked the network key, and my wife's I phone (4) on Sprint has no trouble connecting. Same with her Sony Vaio laptop, and with my old Dell laptop. Never had any problems before connecting with my S4. While the S4 is more powerful and has some unique features (most of which I have disabled, because they are unnecessary and somewhat creepy), it seems that I had a much better overall experience with my old HTC Evo on Sprint.
I have tried to scroll to the latest comments, but have not been able to see if there is finally a fix for this.

You need to start with looking elsewhere, the phone might not be the problem. Make sure your router's software drivers are up to date. even if all your other electronics hook up to wifi the S4 is the latest hardware and some settings in your router might not be compatable. Change some router settings, like channel number. I like to use channel 11, and broadcast frequency, I use the 2 Ghz band. Stay away from auto modes if they are offered. Reset up your wifi, delete all old passwords and start fresh. Set the phone up to the router first, then the rest of the electronics. I did all this stuff and the phone works great with the 4 year old Belkin router. I even have auto network switch setting on the S4 turned on and the phone switches between data and wifi as needed. I am using 4.3 upgrade for three weeks and have not had any issues.
Good luck

Any experiences about troubles with ipad 2 after upgraded to IOS7?

Hello everyone! I've read in several blogs and websites warnings about possible problems or slowdowns of IPAD2 after the upgrade to IOS7. Has anybody decided to "challenge" these warnings? If yes, have you have any problems or is everything going ok?
Thanks!

I upgraded to ios7 on my ipad2 (Model MC773LL/A) and was very happy with it despite some minor quirks until the 7.0.2 update. Since then, I can't use the home button. It worked just fine and I was even able to make it work after a couple of resets, but as soon as I open the first app, it no longer works. Since the 7.0.3 update which I expected to fix the problem, I can't even get the home button to work after a reset. This iPad2 is pristine and had been cocooned in my Griffen rubberized case since the day it was unboxed. (yes, I took it out of the case since to make sure it wasn't the cause)
While I can use all the other tricks such as assisted touch or gestures, it just ticks me off that the home button doesn't work any longer. Since I am out of warranty, I don't want to waste my time waiting on line to get them to fix something they broke and being asked to pay for it. The button worked fine until the iOS7 upgrade and there is no reason why it shouldn't work today.
My iPad Mini (Model MD528LL/A) appears to be working just fine with iOS 7.0.2, though a bit slower than when it was 6.1.3. However, it seems that since 7.0.3 broke my iPad2 further, I am hesitant to even consider blowing up my iPad Mini as well. My iPhone 5 is working really well on iOS 7.0.3...thank goodness.
I agree with the many comments about the loss of Steve Jobs... Tim, you better get these thing straightened out or that iPhone 5 will be the last Apple product I purchase. Kwon Oh Yun and Risto Siilasmaa are looking pretty innovative these days!

Hey. thinking of upgrading to snow leopard. should i back up my files first or is there any fear that i could lose files by upgrading???

Hey guys
hoping to upgrade existing OS to Leopard. before i do just wanna confirm that this operation wont effect my existing files on my mac??

You should be keeping a backup anyway. I use CarbonCopyClone (free download) that makes a bootable copy of my internal drive to be used in case of emergency. SuperDuper! also has a good reutation in the forum. Either one would serve well.
Upgrading without a backup is very risky, despite the fact that few upgrade fail catastrophically. Any hitch in the upgrade could send you back to square 1 and a full reinstall of all applications if you have no backup.

Any fix to the battery life issue from upgrading to IOS 6.0.2, as my battery life has gone from 2 days to 4 hours since 'upgrading'??

I purchased my Iphone 5 on the day of release, since then I have had a 2 day battery life on average, since upgrading to IOS 6.0.2, the battery struggles to last for 4 hours, is there any solution or fix?? If not any idea when this will be fixed?? Is there anyway to revert back to IOS 6.0.1?
HELP!!!

It is unlikely that this problem has anything to do with iOS 6.0.2. It is possible that the update process itself has caused some settings on your iPhone to become corrupted.
Here are some steps to deal with this:
1. Close all apps (use the app switcher; double tap home, press and hold an icon, click the "-" signs)
2. Go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. (Does NOT delete apps or any data; just resets network/iOS settings)
3. Wait for iPhone to restart.
4. Charge iPhone up to 100% and monitor.
