Apprehensive about installing

Good evening,
I have just been given an ibook. I don't know a whole lot about it, or mac in general. However, so far i am loving mac. I do know enough to know that I need a newer operating system. It looks like the minimum os i can get by with is 10.4 (to get itunes 8.2 and iwork).
My question: I only have 11.85GB space available, I only have 384mb sdram and I have a few programs installed that I don't want to loose. They came with the computer and I don't have the reinstall disc. If I install the new os, will it integrate seamlessly, or will it wipe me clean?
Thank you,
ams

NO Right clicking! I guess that is a small price to pay!
If you don't have a 2-button Mouse, Control Key+Click -Right Click.
Well, that narrows it down to 3 iBooks...

I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard...I'm apprehensive about Lion.

I've been hearing so many "glitch" anecdotes about Lion. Until these problems are resolved
I want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard but I'll be buying a new Apple computer to
do that..
I presently have a a 10.4 iMAC with only 2.33 GB of memory and I'm getting a new puter
in order to have 4 GB. Is it recommended to use Lion with a new Apple computer or can I use
Snow Leopard without missing out on anything? Are the stories about Lion just the usual thing
that always happens with a new upgrade? Tiger has worked perfectly for me for 6 years but that
has been on computer that is 6 years old. (POWERPC) Does a new iMAC computer with intel
require the latest operating system to work at top efficiency? Is my apprehension about Lion
an over reaction to anecdotal info?

Some of this is answered best by knowing what model computers are involved. If you are truly getting a brand new (as opposed to a newer used) computer then it will likely come with Lion installed, unless there's some old stock (which even then would have Lion installed but could still run under Snow Leopard which you would have to buy separately). Macs will normally only run the version system that comes installed, or newer, so if you are getting a brand new Mac you won't have any choice but to run Lion (or its successors). It won't run Snow Leopard unless it is a new used computer.
As for Lion stories, those would best be answered on the Lion forum. I still run Tiger which I why I'm on this forum. There's always issues with any upgrade. For me the biggest drawback to Lion is all my software is PPC generation and Lion stopped supporting PPC completely. If I got a brand new computer I would also have to upgrade all my software which could easily run to over a thousand dollars more.

HT1349 How do I go about installing software from a disc onto my ipad2? I have no external drive, but do have a PC with iTunes on it. Someone suggested I could load it into iTunes and then sync with the iPad, but this suggestion doesn't seem to work.

How do I go about installing software from a disc (a language programme) onto my ipad2? Someone told me if I downloaded it to iTunes on my PC I could then sync it to the iPad but hav not been able to do that.

Even if there was a convenient way, the software will not run on the pad. Ios is a unique language, and only programs written for ios will run on the pad. All of the programs are in the app store. You might look there and see if the company that makes your sfotware also has an ios version, which would be in the store.

I Need To Know Some Information About Installing Windows On A Macbook Pro 13

Hello !
Actually Playing My Favourite Games Is A Problem Because I Can't Find DVD Games (Mac Version) For My Macbook Pro So I Found Out That You Can Install Windows 7 Software On A Mac But I Wanted To Know Some Information Like :
- I Know That I Can Install It Using Boot Camp But I'll Need A Windows 7 DVD So Is There Some Specialized Version For Mac ? Or I Just Need A Normal Windows 7 DVD For PC ?
- If I Installed Windows 7, Will I Lose The Mac OS X Lion ? Or I Can Have Both Softwares Together At The Same Time ?
- If I Installed Windows 7, Will It Have The Same Specifications Of Macbook Pro 13 ? (Ex: 2.4 GHz Processor)
- If I Installed Windows 7 And I Already Had Mac OS X Lion, Will The Macbook Lag Or It Will Work Properly ?
- If There's Any More Info That You Know About Installing Windows 7 On A Macbook Pro 13, Please Provide Me With It, Thanks!

This really is a forum about the MacBook Pro hardware. The best place to ask your questions would be the Windows/BootCamp forum. Your MacBook Pro 13 has one weakness that's going to make gaming a bad experience. It has an integrated Intel HD graphics processor, whereas the higher end MacBook Pro's have discrete ATI graphics processors. But the forum will help you out.

Question about installing a SSD drive and how to clone

Greetings,
I have a 2007 white macbook w/ 80GB HD. I have been thinking about installing a 60 GB SSD drive from OWC as the price has come down tremendously and honestly just to see how it improves boot time, launch, applications etc. I don't keep much stuff on this macbook as it is purely a "browsing" computer but I was wondering how to best clone the hard drive to the new one?
From what I understand, I use an application like Carbon copy cloner and backup "all data". Then, I turn the macbook over and follow the instructions for installing the new drive. Then, I guess I boot up and format the new drive with Snow Leopard.
When do I actually tell the recently formatted computer to transfer the data from the backup clone? Do I do this during the opening migration screen? I know how to import data from another computer using Firewire and a cable, however, does the new SSD formatted computer understand how to boot from the carbon copy cloner backup without installing this software on the new drive?
Cheers.

Julie:
I am no expert on SSDs. Here is how I would do it with a regular HDD. Note: You will need an external 2.5" enclosure.
Clone Old HDD to new HDD using SuperDuper
• Install new HDD in enclosure
• Connect to the computer and boot from internal HDD.
• Launch Disk Utility and format new HDD in enclosure (post for step by step directions, if needed)
• Download and launch SuperDuper
• In the Copy field select your internal HDD
• To is your newly formatted HDD in enclosure
• Using *backup all files*
• Click Options button
• Check *Repair Disk Permissions on Source*
• During copy Erase Destination HDD then copy from Source
• On successful completion Quit SuperDuper
• Shut down computer and with external still connected
• Option boot from external HDD to check clone.
• If everything checks out, remove new HDD from enclosure and install in computer.
• Install old HDD in enclosure (if desired)

I talked to your guys yesterday about installing correct version of Lightroom 5 which I legally owned, and your guy provided me a download link (different from Creative cloud account), but somehow it was for Windows version not for Mac version. I would very much like to download a Mac version, so please send my correct web link. By the way my s. number for Lightroom 5 up is [removed], and I also have s.number for 4 up and 3 full.

The latest non-CC version of LR 5 is 5.7.1 and download links are available on the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Both Mac and Win links are there.
If you are asking for a LR 5 CC link, which wouldn't require a serial number, please be more clear about that.

I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

Question about installing drivers on Vi

Hey,?Within the next couple of weeks, I intend to purchase a?X-Fi Fatalty FPS card. I know the Vista drivers aren't up to scratch at the moment, but I'm in no rush to upgrade to Vista, although I have access to the RTM through TechNet. As soon as all drivers are of a good standard then I'll upgrade - until then I'd stick with XP which works great. My question is this, If I buy this card it'll ship with a driver CD. I'll need to install the drivers/creative applications from this CD and then update them from the website. The drivers on the disc will be for Windows XP, and not compatible with Vista. When I format the dri've and install Vista, how do I go about installing the Creative Vista drivers. The downloadable ones from the website require the main CD drivers to be installed, which I won't be able to install as they're for XP. Hope that makes sense. Thanks.

Ooh, perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick then. Im basing this on my experience with an old Creative Audigy card I had years ago, but If memory serves me correctly it was actually an OEM card. So what you're saying is, when I receive my X-Fi, I can not use the CD and straight away download the latest drivers/apps from the creative website and install them without needing to run the CD through first?Thanks for your reply.

My MacBook Pro isn't a year old yet and would like to use iCloud. However, very apprehensive about Lion upgrade...how can I find out what I will lose if I upgrade?

I appreciate the prompt response. Having read several threads, you can appreciate why I would be hesistant to upgrade to the Lion. All I basically use is Office for Mac and the other basic functions such as email/calendar/address/contacts...etc. I have read horror stories about peoples stuff dissapearing into cyberspace and obvi dont want that to happen.
That's all nonsense. Most people don't post anything if they don't have any problems. People who do have problems usually have very specific reasons for them that they have caused themselves.

Alibutlerdesigns you will use the same process to install on your second computer. You can copy the installation files using a USB drive if you do not wish to download the installation files again.

Uninstall - file that stores info about installed products

Hi,
I want to uninstall EPM system. The problem is that Hyperion does not offer products to unistall. It shows just clean window. In cmd line i also get a lot of java errors. It says 'Premature end of file'. It seems it can not parse some file that stores the info about installed products.

If you are deleting everything manually then
Stop any hyperion related services.
Delete all from under the Hyperion directory
Delete from the registry :- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hyperion Solutions
Delete file .oracle.products
There are some environment variables but you may not to remove them all e.g. HYPERION_HOME, EAS_HOME, ESSLANG
Drop and recreate rdbms databases.

Stuck on screen show message "Important information about installing OS X Mavericks"

I start with new HD and i create partition for install os already then click install OS X And Then show message "Important information about installing OS X Mavericks" and show Quit Button cant continues to next step.
How to fix it ?

To fix this people you need to update your original software first apple icon top left then software update (As
shown. If you have already formatted your hardrive when attempting to install from boot drive (USB), you will need to shutdown and restart your mac holding the "Command + R" key together, this requires internet access to re download and install your orginal software because you have wiped it. After it has installed you will then be able to install MAVERICKS! by following the steps you have mentioned.

Questions about installing a large internal hard drive

Hello all,
I recently bought a Seagate 250GB internal hard drive for my Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics). I intend to install it alongside my old 20GB drive. I have a couple of questions about installing it:
• What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the full capacity of the drive?
• I'm considering partitioning the drive and installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
• Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB drive? Is this a good idea?
• What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy so that I don't have to reinstall the system and everything else; can Carbon Copy Cloner do that?
Thanks for any help and advice!
Power Mac G4 - AGP graphics Mac OS X (10.4.3) 768 MB RAM

• What kind of PCI card do I need in order to use the
full capacity of the drive?
If the drive is an SATA drive you need an SATA controller. If an IDE/ATA drive you need an IDE controller.
• I'm considering partitioning the drive and
installing Debian Linux on one partition. Is it
possible that Debian won't recognize the PCI card?
You should check the Hardware Compatibility List for Debian against your potential mac compatible purchases. You might also get some good information from Yellow Dog Linux compatibility lists.
• Is it possible to connect (RAID?) the old and new
drives together so that they appear as one big 270GB
drive? Is this a good idea?
If you want to stripe the 2 dives together your overall performance will be slowed down by the slower of the two drives. For example, If you have one 5400rpm drive and another 7200rpm drive, the RAID will be bogged down by the slower drive so you wont get the full benefit of the lower latencies of the 7200. You will still get some of the faster transfer times, just not the lower latencies.
Wether or not it's a good idea depends on your personal needs. Do you need a drive that can can move very large files to and from memory quickly (bandwidth) or a drive that can locate and serve up the files quickly (latency)?
• What is the easiest way to copy the contents of my
old drive onto the new one? I'd like an exact copy
so that I don't have to reinstall the system and
everything else; can Carbon Copy Cloner do that?
CCC should work fine for you. You could also use the command line asr utility.

Questions about Installing EBS R12 continued

Folks,
Hello. This post is the continue for previous post "Questions about Installing EBS R12".
While installing EBS R12 using "./rapidwiz", the Install Wizard gets to "CD Locator - Select root directory of required Rapid Install Disk. Enter location for the disk labeled. Oracle Applications Rapid Install - Database Disk 1"
I browse the directory where Database Disk 1 is located (file name: V15680-01_1of3/oraAPPDB/Disk1). Then click "OK" button, CD Locator Windows come up again and again. The Install Wizard doesn't proceed !
The above issue means some files in stage area directory are corrupted. Thus, I have deleted the stage area directory (zip files and unzipped files) and try to download a fresh EBS R12 from Oracle Edelivery to install again.
Now, the problem is that when I empty trash (EBS_R12) in Oracle Linux 5, the 3 files (V15680-01_1of3.zip, oraAppDB, oraDB) cannot be deleted from the trash, the error message is:
"You don't have permission to modify its parent folder."
The file V15680-01_1of3.zip is Rapid Install Database Disk 1 on which the install Wizard stop while installing EBS R12.
Can any folks help to solve the issue on file "V15680-01_1of3.zip" ?
that is, how to empty it from Trash ? How to have the Wizard go through it when install again ?

Please update the original thread instead of creating new one -- Re: Questions about Installing EBS R12
