Any Reason to Install 7.1.1 on PowerMac

I don't use Keynote and I have a PowerMac computer. Is there any reason to install 7.1.1. I see a lot of trouble reported in this forum with the upgrade.

Like QT Kirk, I have not experienced any of the major problems being reported. Suspect the answer depends on your particular situation in terms of third party applications and/or the proprietary codecs that make up your work flow. (I.e., the greater the number of third party applications, utilities, components, etc. in use, the greater the likelihood that you may encounter problems.) If you have no problems, have no need for upgrade features, and/or feel the slightest bit uneasy about the upgrade, then don't.

Is there any reason to install iLife if I don't use them?

I am about to do an erase and reinstall of Leopard. My question is simple: Do I need to install iLife for any reason. While I use iCal and the Address Book, I don't use any of the iLife apps. Instead, I use Aperture, Toast, etc.
Will I miss out on any critical functionality?
Thank you.
Brian

If you don't need it, don't install it. It won't affect anything else.

Is there any reason to install LR 4.4 from CC if it is already installed on HD?

Also, when will LR 5.0 be available on the CC?

If you already have Lr 4.4 installed as a perpetual product, you can leave it installed and use it untill you like. You do not need to install it again from CC.
We are still not sure about the Lr 5 availability on CC but if you want you can downlaod the Lr 5 beta from the below link.

Any reason to keep EXPRESS ?

I just upgraded... and glad I did. I'm having a blast.
However, I've got Logic 7 and 8 Express still on my system. Do I really need those? i don't see myself ever going back to 7 (I'm not a pro, so I'm not going to get 7 files, etc). Any reason to keep them?
Also, I put Express 8 on my new Macbook... should I keep that on there? Or is there any reason to install pro, minus the jam packs?
tia,
e

I did the same thing and I don't see any reason to delete Express. It really doesn't save any appreciable space to delete Express on the big computer, and I sometimes collaborate with people that don't have Logic Pro, so if I know I will be working with someone that doesn't have Pro on their system, I'll start it on Express before I send it off. Then when I get it back I can open it on Pro for the final additions.
Conversely, I didn't install Pro on my MacBook so that I could save space, and I use the MacBook as a portable workspace and keep it lean with just Express. If I end up getting serious about something I started in Logic Express on my MacBook, I move it over to the big computer for finalizing in Logic Pro.
That's my reasons, anyway. Not that they make that much sense.

Try closing the App Store app via the iPad's taskbar and then do a soft-reset and see if you can install it after the iPad has restarted. To close the App Store : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the App Store app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

No.

Any reason to keep Photoshop CS5 installed?

I've upgraded to Production Premium CS5.5. Some software (like Bridge CS5, After Effects CS5, and Premiere CS5 need each other to work correctly) But is there any reason to keep Photoshop CS5 installed. Photoshop CS5.1 is virtually identical, correct?

No need to keep Photoshop CS 5 as CS5.1 is the same except for the version number.

Also tried restoring system from backup but just does the same thing
This is where a HD clone is so important, ...
Time Machine can do nothing with/to a crashed / failing HD.
Like refilling a gumball machine with a hole in the bottom, ....futile.
At least your vital data is backed up. Look into getting a new internal HD. Very cheap fix $65 for a new HD.
If you have Apple care on your 2011 macbook, contact them for repair/ HD replacement.

Downloading should be fairly easy and the installer opens but nothing seems to happen after that.

What link, website? Firefox should not do that. Did you get FF from '''Mozilla.org?'''
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Adam,
Why not just say, "SpinPoint OEM SATA 500GB"? makes it a lot easier.
OEM versions often work fine as long as they are not using with 3rd party PCI RAID controllers is the only thing I see.
As for price, WD 500GB retail is a few dollars more.

I have Windows 7 and recently everytime I try to update my iTunes I get an error message. Any reasons why?

Hi! I have a PC running on Windows 7 and recently I can not upgrade my iTunes. Any reasons why?

Many thanks, that's perfect.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Any reason NOT to reinstall OS X?

I just got my PB back from repair. I guess when they put in the new harddrive they just "registered" it as ( ...a's PowerBook... )
I went to change that to (.. Spencer's Powerbook...) but now it seems that some things recognize "Spencer's" and some recognize "a's" and I can't connect to the internet.
I was just thinking of wiping the drive and reinstalling the OS and all applications, but I was wondering if there's any reason I shouldn't. (I have all files backed up on external HD)
Also, I'm trying to determine if one of my RAM chips is bad,(took it out yesterday),.. so if I reinstall OS without the this RAM will I still be able to put it back in and have it be recognized?... man, I hope that makes sence.

Yes format after you backed up all improtant info with or without the extra ram chip.
If you need to put the RAM back later put it in and restart + PRAM reset (commandalt+pr) until you hear the chimes once or longer as you feel like.
Then once in OSX select "About this Mac" on the bkue Apple top left corner and see if it show up as installed.
You must also make sure to get rid of static + power/bat is totally disconected from PBOOK before touching the RAM.
Place ram in slots and make sure they are propperly inserted when removing one and later when adding the 2nd one.
I think there is here on Apple website a pdf that describes how-to do the ram replace I have seen it here somewhere under support ???
If you have to replace the chip make sure it is same brand and specs even down to timing thingy but likely it should still be under warranty from the Manufacturer. Even so micro fractures does occur and can only be seen with a microscope.
Best of luck.

Any Reason NOT to Upgrade?

I immediately upgraded my mini to Leopard the moment Leopard was released, and am enjoying it. But my primary computer is my 17" 2.16 Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro. I chose NOT to upgrade it to Leopard immediately: I needed it to be "stable" and I give Keynote presentations weekly, and just didn't want to upset my routine. Also, some of my favorite utilities weren't immediately Leopard-capable...
I just upgraded the 100GB drive to a 200GB drive, and I can "feel" a performance improvement...boot-up time is reduced, and things just feel quicker.
ANYWAY - Is there any reason for me now NOT to upgrade to create a complete bootable backup and ARCHIVE & INSTALL Leopard onto my MBP?
Thanks for your advice.

Put the old drive into an external Firewire enclosure. Install Leopard on it. Update Leopard to 10.5.2 and update your third-party software. Run your MBP from the external drive for a week or so doing your typical stuff. If you have any problems it's simple enough to boot from your old system on the internal drive. If all works out OK then you can safely upgrade your old system or clone the external one to the internal drive.
This is precisely how I do all my system upgrades. Saves a lot of time and headaches.
