Best way to upgrade to new iOS 4?

I have read some people say the best way up upgrade to iOS 4 is to start fresh and set up as a new phone, then sync content back from iTunes. I have also heard other people say to do a backup of the phone, upgrade, then restore from backup.
So far today I've heard of LOTS of people having problems with the new OS, and some people say they need to set up the phone as new to avoid having problems. But then what about all your data like text messages, contacts, etc? I do not use MS Outlook at home so I don't really have anything to sync my contacts to, other than just doing the normal backup.
How can I be assured that I can upgrade my 16GB 3GS from 3.1.3 to 4.0 and not have tons of problems?

I don't know if you can.
I updated itunes and then synced mine this morning (UK time) downloaded it as soon as it came out (6pm UK time) and I've not had a problem.

Best way to upgrade to new drive?

What is the best way to upgrade the hard drive on a Macbook? I mean to ask, what is the best way to transfer the complete system onto a new hard drive?
Thanks!
Captain!

# Buy the desired new 2.5" drive. If buying a 500GB unit, the Samsung SpinPoint fits inside, the Hitachi doesn't, the Fujitsu is too slow.
# Buy an external Firewire case for the drive. Install the new drive in it (this is temporary).
# Power up and plug in the new drive to the Mac. Make sure the system sees the new drive.
# Using Disk Utility, reformat the drive to a single partition, using a GUID partition scheme and in HFS+ format. Most new drives come in FAT32 or NTFS format. Search in the forums how to get rid of the NTFS format.
# Using SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner or even plain old Disk Utility, clone your startup volume (internal drive) onto the external.
# Reboot and start up from the external (press Option before startup sound). Verify that everything works.
# Shut everything down, take new drive out of case, exchange with internal drive. Do it yourself or pay qualified technician to do so. Old style MacBooks are relatively easy, MacBook Pro's are more complex, Oct'08 portables are a piece of cake.
# Start portable, verify everything works. If so, put old drive in external case and use as a backup device. Else put it back in so you'll have a working computer while you figure out what went wrong.
# Enjoy...
Note: Since the Nov'07 release of the Mac portables, they have the Apple Hardware Test available as a hidden partition in the HDD, meaning that you can test your Mac without requiring the original Install Disk #1. If you change the internal HDD, you will lose that functionality, since no one has figured out how to copy the thing over to the new drive. This means you will need your Install Disk #1 to test your hardware from that point on.

Best way to upgrade SSD to newer SSD

I know this belong to operating system section but im a computer system admin and im looking for the best way to upgrade existing SSD with lion on it. I know several ways to do this but i'm looking forward to best way to do it. My existing ssd and computer is only couple of months old. I have kensigton 240gb ssd in my computer and im upgrading to intel 240gb ssd. Lion onwards, you can't run disc utility and do restore to clone, we need to boot to restore partition or lion boot disc for this. Is that the best way to do it? I know doing this we lose the hidden restore partition whih i dont care but is there anyway doing it to keep the hidden partition or to make it truly perfect clone without affecting any programs.
One way to do is do clean install of 10.7.3 and use migration assitant the very first time computer boots and it will keep hidden partition also but i have always refrained from doing migration assistant since it doesnt copy few stuff from old hard drive. I have ableton and some other critical programs loaded on it curently.
I don't like the new interface of CCC and i havent used superduper lately, i believe they use apples restore command under the hood?
What would you geniuses would do if you want a perfect clone?

Hi,
You've made a wise choice. I'm, myself, using 3 Sandisk SSD's at home on three laptops. They took me more than 2 hrs to (a) Pull the old HDD's out, (b) Put the SSD's in and (c) Put EVERYTHING back. I cloned the HDD's using O&O Diskimage before open the cases of all 3 laptops. Please note: If you wish to use clone method, you need your SSD big enough for normal C: drive on your existing HDD.
Hope this helps.

Best way to Upgrade from 8.1.5 to 8.1.6 rel 2

What's the best way to upgrade my software?
I don't have anything that I can't afford to loose.
Do I uninstall 8.1.5 then install 8.1.6 or will 8.1.6 overwrite the previous install?
null

Read the install guide - but do a full export first.
I remeber something about a new install overwriting a shell script that you should backup first. (It's in the manual.)
Beyond that, if you install to a NEW Oracle_home, you should be fine.

What is the best way to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.7

I am trying to figure out the best way to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 to the new Lion 10.7. From what I have heard so far, I need to get a copy of snow leopard first so I have the APP Store then download Lion. Has anyone heard of a bundled package to accomplish this?

Apple is currently only making Lion available for download. You'll have to accquire a copy of Snow Leopard first and upgrade to it. Once you are on Snow Leopard, update your Mac with all of the current updates, which will then give you the App Store. From the App Store you'll be able to download and install Lion. I strongly advise backing up your system first prior to the update.

Best way to upgrade an old EDD

Hello All
I have a DITA EDD that dates back to FM7 and is therefore based on DITA 1.1 (or maybe DITA 1.0!). It allows creation of composite document made up of concepts,references, tasks, and topics, and also contains lots of formatting information and so on.
Now that I am using FrameMaker 11, I'm thinking about upgrading this EDD to accommodate the DITA 1.2 Technical Content structures. I've been doing some reading about DITA 1.2 DTDs and EDDs, and understand the modularity that is involved.
So my question is: What is the best way to upgrade this EDD so that the new structures are included, without losing my formatting information? Do I need to copy/paste format rules, etc. into a new EDD, or can I somehow import the DITA 1.2 structures into my old EDD? (Or does my question betray some basic ignorance on my part?)
Thanks for your help.

Hi Roger...
I hate to say it .. but I don't think there's an "easy" way to do this. I think you'll have to individually copy/paste the context rules into the corresponding element definitions .. taking care to not break things. You'll notice that the general rules for some element definitions will have changed, which may affect the context rules.
Yes the DITA 1.2 apps with FM11 (and FM10) are largely modularized as text insets in a fashion similar to the way the DTDs are broken up. There's also separate apps for each topic type, rather then relying on ditabase to provide one app for all topic types. Conceptually, this makes good sense, but from a practical standpoint, it's really complicated to maintain. It also requires a system with loads of RAM to properly resolve these insets .. even then, it may take lots of time to manage. The idea behind the modularization is that you can update context rules for certain elements that are shared between the various apps .. although it's very possible that you want things to render differently in each topic type, which would require you to add more logic to the context rules to determine which topic type is in use.
Personally, for the DITA 1.2 apps that I'm developing, I'm going back to a single ditabase app for all topic types with no insets. It is much easier to manage and maintain. The drawback to this approach is that the context rules map differ for certain elements depending on the root topic type. This is specifically an issue with task and strictTask. For that I will need separate apps. Also, I'll need separate apps for the learning topic types. But I think that for the basic task, concept, reference, and topic .. they can happily live together in one app .. making maintenance much easier. For the separate apps, I'll just copy/paste the elements definitions rather than relying on insets.
The catch with all of this is when it comes time for book publishing, you'll need a single app that includes support for *all* of the topic types. Since it's possible that all of them may exist in a single chapter (assuming you're building merged chapter FM files rather than the nested chapter files, the FM default). The "Book" app doesn't need to be valid DITA so it's OK if the general rules allow more elements than they do in the authoring apps, so this is completely doable .. it just means that you have to maintain multiple apps.
I hope this is helpful .. it's not a simple task by any means. An alternative option is to just rely on the shipping apps for authoring, and focus on customizing the Book app for publishing.
Cheers,

Best way to upgrade an application?

Hi,
This is a newbie question.
We created, & tested a new application. Then exported it from the dev env. and imported into the production env. That all went smoothly and the app is working well.
The application id in production is different than in dev.
We have now made enhancements to the development copy and are ready to deploy those into the production env.
We will need to upgrade shared components and the application. The table upgrades are being handled outside APEX.
I can see where to create upgrade scripts, but I'm not sure what needs to go into them.
I've also seen in the forum where it looks like you can import over an existing application. The caveat with that seems to be that the application ids have to be the same.
Can someone direct me on the best way to upgrade our shared components and the application.
Thanks Nan

If you are using the Apache driven app server, I believ there would be a way to do that, if you are using the internal web server, I don't believe so...
(This might be a good time to coordinate the app ID's in development & production to cut down on these issues..)
Thank you,

Best way to upgrade?

Hi all-
I've drooled over the features of iphoto 09 for sometime now, and I've just purchased the iLife 09 disk. I'm ready to install, but first a couple of questions:
1. What is the safest and best way to upgrade? Is it as simple as inserting the disk, following the prompts, opening iPhoto '09 once installed and pointing it at my '08 library? I keep my library on an external disk, attached to my 2TB TC.
2. Is it better to do a clean install of iLife 09, rather than write over the old?
3. Any words of wisdom to help preserve the intricacies of my '08 library (all the tags, events, etc) so I don't accidentally eliminate them in the transition?
Many thanks-

Larry - I found this post in searing for the exact thing.."best way to upgrade" from '08 to '09 iPhoto/iLife. I've owned it for months now and due to procrastination and not knowing how to properly back up my iPhoto library (shame on me...1 yr worth of photos backed up automatically on my TC - I hope at least - but not backed up any other way). I'd like to finally do the upgrade since I own 09 iLife but am too nervous to do anything since I don't know if my time capsule is really backing up all my photos saved on this laptop since I bought it 1/09. I've been meaning to just burn all my iPhoto pics onto DVDs for safe keeping and do it monthly so that any new photos just get burned onto a new disk, but is there another way to back up my iPhoto library onto my external drive (where I keep all my HD videos)? If I back it up periodically onto my external hard drive, does it just update those pictures I've added/changed or does it save a new copy of my iPhoto library EVERY time I backup? I would think that would take up so much memory. I don't know how to do it or where to start, other than to just make lots of DVD backups. Any step by step advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Best way to upgrade antonomous APs

Is anyone have a best way to upgrade a group of 1230 and 1231 antonomous APs.
They all don't have enough space for new code, which mean old code have to delete. Most the time they are not same code. I wonder if there is any software that we can add these APs to a list and push it out.
Thanks,

I just type the command in Notepad and cut-n-paste it. Here's what I've done:

Best way to spec a new Linux server from existing Windows 2003 server?

We are looking to upgrade our servers to 11.1.2 and I am looking for some documentation/suggestions on the best way to spec the new box on a Linux platform.
I do have the current documentation from ORACLE with regard to "Estimating Disk and Memory Requirements" but am looking for some processor suggestions as well..
Any thoughts or ideas would be welcomed.
Especially helpful would be anyone who is currently running in a Linux environment any pitfalls or issues you've been having with hardware or software.
Thanks in advance.
Adam,

I don't think it is possible to recommend you any hardware setup without knowing your environment, budget and expertise.
If you plan to install Enterprise Linux, like Oracle Linux, you should look into getting server hardware and not a desktop system. You may also want think about using Oracle VM virtualization products.
Are you looking for rackmount or blade systems? it might be possible to limit your hardware decision between HP, Dell and IBM. I would personally prefer HP, but that's a matter of experience.
You should probably find out your OS requirements. E-business products and installation instructions are usually designed for the OS version that existed at that time. If you install a newer version of the OS you may run into configuration or backward compatibility issues that may require to install additional software. You should check your OS requirements first before purchasing any hardware. The newest hardware may not support older versions of the OS.
The HP support side shows a Linux certification matrix at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/linux/hplinuxcert.html which might be helpful should you decide to get HP equipment.
You might also want to check your current Oracle licensing if you upgrade to a faster or more CPU's.

What is the best way to connect my new MBP to monitor - DVI, VGA or HDMI

What is the best way to connect my new MBP to a computer monitor? DVI, VGA or HDMI? Thanks

I recommend the Apple MiniDisplay Port to DVI adaptor. I would avoid VGA. MiniDisplay Port to HDMI will work as well (3rd party).

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

Best way to start a new catalog for 2009 ?

Hi,
What's the best way to start a new catalog for the new year, with all the keywords and all the presets of the modules (without having to export all the folders) of previous catalog 2008 ?
Thanks,
Dominique

Well there is a cost too in not being able to find all your images in a single step, and inconsistencies soon develop - eg a keyword is plural in one catalogue, singular in another. Speed or stability issues are not simply related to catalogue size, and I've seen decently-performing catalogues 50% bigger than yours (as well as slow ones of a few hundred images). Have you optimized the catalogue recently?
But if you think it's a good idea to fragment control of your picture collection.... Presets will be carried over to a new catalogue as they belong to the machine (unless you have the save with catalogue preference turned on). Keywords can be moved via the Metadata > Export and Import Keywords command. If you have lots of collections and smart collections, then maybe make a copy of your existing catalogue and then remove all the items from it - making sure you don't trash them of course.

Best way to add a new section in the middle of a tune?

hi,
what's best way to add a new section in the middle of a tune? I think I came up with an interesting transition to a tune... what's the best way to try it out?
please be specific. if it's just select all and cut and move - I already know that one. somehow, I bet there's a better way.
thanks in advance...

You should be able to enter the "in" and out" points in the transport bar. And then under the Region menu, choose "Cut/Insert time."
So if, for instance, you go up to bar 32, and want to add 8 bars, enter 32 1 1 1 in the top transport place, and 40 1 1 1 in the second. Then select "Cut/Insert Time", and an 8 bar whole will be added to your song.
Be aware that if there are overlapping MIDI notes found at that cut point, Logic will warn you about it, and give you some options. In this case, I think "Keep" would be what you'd want, but every situation is different...
Hope that helps....
