Can a backup done with OS 10.5.8 work with any later OS like 10.8?

I want to upgrade my Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook 5.1 which still has the original 10.5 OS to at least OS 10.7 or later. If I buy and use Apple's latest generation Time Capsule via Time Machine to back it up BEFORE upgrading the OS, will the Time Capsule (and it's backup) still work once the OS is upgraded?
Thanx,
leoniru

It should still be compatible with the latest version OS.. although don't quote me for Mavericks.
Be careful not to allow the TM backup to start a backup and overright the existing one.
Also you don't need a TC to do this.. in fact a USB drive will do a better job because you can then use a cloning software like CCC (free for a month trial) and create a bootable clone.. you can then also do a TM backup to the same disk.
Once you load new OS you can then use migration assistant to get your files back from either the clone or the TM backup.

  • Can this be done with any plugin 3rd party app?

    I have some footage of various 'technical components'. I need to do a commentary - which is no problem.
    I also would like to add arrows, lines, etc to point out various parts in some of the close-up shots. I know I can't do this with iMovie 08, but are there any apps (for 08) that will (with a demo).
    Or is that something FCE would do?

    Apologies. What a brain cramp. Yes, that's a windows product. To my surprise, Googling, I don't see Mac options. Other products like Captivate also are Windows also.
    Check into Impatica (www.impatica.com). I haven't used that in years, and it used to be ppt-centric, but they seem to have some other versions, and they have Mac support according to http://www.impatica.com/support/guides/.
    SnapProzX is a mac oriented tool for taking screen cams, so it would capture your movements on the desktop, but I don't think it supports "post product" such as adding in arrows or call outs later, but I haven't played with it enough.
    Overall, this discussion forum is for iMovie and video editing. What you are looking for is a bit beyond video editing, and into instructional design.

  • I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. I want to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere? Also is it worth just buying another external HD to back up

    I have my iTunes library on an external HD because it is too big for my iMAC 500GB HD. However, it is not backed up, so I need a solution to backup my external HD. Can I do this with any Apple cloud product or should I look elsewhere for cloud products? Will it be cheaper/easier just to buy another external HD to back up my existing external HD? Thanks

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected
    it is.
    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i
    mount the external
    point iTunes media folder location back to the external via preferences > advanced
    consolidate my library via file > library > organize library
    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • Moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

    moving a drive with OSX to another computer? take it out of my Mac pro laptop and into my mac mini. can it be done with no OS/Hardware issues?

    When I work with a drive to boot many computers, I use the newest model computer I will be booting, and set the system up on that, run all the Apple updates. Normally I will have no issue booting any older computer with the same drive. Unless of course those older computers do not support the operating system on that drive.
    If you want to test if the drive will boot the mac mini. Put your MacBook Pro into target mode. Connect the two computers together. And on the Mac Mini, go into system preferences and then under start up disk and see if the target disk mode computer's drive shows up there. Seelct that drive and restart. See if it boots ok. A bit easier then taking the drives out and moving things around.

    Hola Jose David, que OPC estas utilizando?, Si tienes comunicación entre tu computadora y PLC pero falla la comunicación entre el OPC y el PLC? La configuración y direcciones entre los dos es correcta? La comunicación es por cable serial?
    Espero tus respuestas

  • Unable to install AcrobatProDC to convert pdf to power point can it be done with Pro?

    I'm unable to install AcrobateProDC to convert pdfs to powerpoint, can it be done with AcrobatPro?

    Hi markn117,
    Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
    Please ensure that you are signed in as administrator and anti-virus software is disabled temporarily as that might interrupt the installation process.
    What exactly happens when you try to install Acrobat DC? Does the installation stuck in between?
    Is there any message dialog box that prompts on your screen?
    Using Acrobat Pro DC, you can definitely export any PDF to PowerPoint with ease.
    Let me know more so that I can help you out with the same.
    Regards,
    Anubha

    If you want to record a Webinar, you will probably need screen capture software. Every recent Mac comes with QuickTime Player X, which will do this. Just click FIle/New Screen Recording. Then click on the red button to start recording.

    You're welcome.
    Have you never synced your iPhone with iTunes on your computer to transfer music and any other iTunes content from your iTunes library on your computer, or to transfer photos from your computer to your iPhone, etc.?
    What I'm referring to is your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer, not any setting on your iPhone.

  • Is the Tiger 10.4.x can run with any new computer like 2.66Ghz or up

    Is the Tiger 10.4.x can run with any new computer like 2.66Ghz or up?

    No,
    Earlier Intel Macs in this CPU range came with OS X 10.5 Leopard as their basic, installed OS X version.
    Later models in this range came pre-installed with either OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.

  • Hello, I live in the Netherlands and my friend is going to bring me a MAC and an Iphone. I was just wondering is there international warranty? Other question is that can I use Iphone with any simcard that I want? Thanks in advance!

    Hello, I live in the Netherlands and my friend is going to bring me a MAC and an Iphone. I was just wondering is there international warranty? Other question is that can I use Iphone with any simcard that I want? Thanks in advance!

    There is an international warranty on the Mac, but not on the iPhone...iPhone warranties are tied to the country of purchase.  Iphone 5s are currently only available in the US tied to a carrier, you cannot use another nano-sim card in them.
