Can I go from OS 10.8.5 back to 10.8.2?

I have an iMac Intel core i5 w/ 16G ram. Bought it used with lots of software. Upgraded from 10.8.2 to 10.8.5, and some of the extra software won't run now. Mainly I'm concerned with CS5.1. My use of CS is low-volume, I don't need cutting edge, and I cannot afford the new by-the-month rental or whatever they call it. But I do need it, and it seemed to be working before the OS upgrade.
So. Is there a way to go back to 10.8.2? I sure do wish I'd done some investigating before I upgraded, but I didn't.
Semi-separate question: I can get an unopened copy of Lightroom 4 (full) at a good price; if you're familiar with it can you tell me how it differs from Photoshop, and whether it will run on my current system, or on my regressed 10.8.2, if that is possible to do?
I'd be grateful for any help.
Thanks so much!
Judy

Judith Anne,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you may have bought a machine with stolen software. When you buy a used machine that comes with software the seller should provide the media or genuine codes to activate the software. If you do not have this then you need to contact the seller immediately and request them.
LightRoom and Photoshop are 2 totally seperate applications intended for seperate purposes. I would look at Adobe's website to see the differences, they are both Adobe products so going right to the source is your best bet.
As for going back to 10.8.2. you would need to have a bootable clone backup on an external HD that has 10.8.2 on it, without that you will not be able to go backwards. Your problems are not with OS X it seems but with the third party applications you have installed on it.
Good luck.

I can't get itunes to bring up my new iphone 4 to where I can transfer stuff from my account or even back up the stuff from my 3GS to it. Help please...

I have been trying to sync my new iPhone 4 to my itunes account. I want to transfer stuff from my 3GS to this phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have uninstalled itunes and all apple components and reinstalled and no success. It shows the phone sync when itunes comes up and then when I click on the phone on the right side it will just disappear and I want to get to the menu where I can I back up info from 3gs to this new phone.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I have little idea what this is all about but unless you are sure it is an iTunes question and not anything to do with the receiver you are better off trying to get support for a hardware specific issue on the manufacturer's support services. You'll get a lot of people here who know iTunes but you're going to have to be fortunate to get one with that specific model receiver.

I am thinking up buying a new 15in MBP. What can be restored from my current Time Machine Back up?

This will be my second MBP, so first time to try migrating.
Can Time Machine restore software like SEE Finance, Microsoft Office, Norton, Adobe Lightroom from my current MBP? Or does it just migrate data.
How do I migrate my iTunes over?
Hope you can advise me.
Thanks

Can I switch from Win to Mac and back to Win

I just bought 2 new Shuffle for my 2 children. I hooked it up to our Dell Windows PC. I have downloaded a few songs from a CD that are also on my Mac's at work. When we go on vacation, I will be taking my Mac Book Pro. Can I get the Shuffles to work with my MBP while on vacation and then restore to windows when we get back? If you can help, I'll buy you a car. Mark

Yes, the ipods will work with either a windows based or mac based computer.
However, and ipod shuffle will loose the music if linked to another library.
One way around this is to uncheck open itunes when this ipod is connected as posted by 0Ari0. But, this only works if you just want to charge the ipod.
If you are wanting to load more music as you are on vacation, you can always transfer your library to your MacBook.
This article will help if you wish to transfer the library from the Dell to the MacBook:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
This works with an ipod or any external drive.
If there are other questions or if this does not help, you can contact Apple at 800-275-2273

If the ringtones are on the old device just plug it in and do a transfer of purchases then they will be on the computer to sync to the new device.

There probably is, but it requires that you be able to use punctuation and write in sentences so that we can understand exactly what you want.
You can block others from using your Apple ID by changing your password. There is no way to erase what was already downloaded on to someone else's device, for obvious reasons,

MFP M127fn connected, test printing OK, can't print from applications

Hello Everyone!
I have just set up my M127fn via USB on a Windows 8 system. The set up went fine. I have a small stack of test pages from the HP software, but it won't print anything from any applications like MSOffice. The HP diagnostic software (Print and Scan Doctor 4.6) can communicate with the printer and everything checks out OK.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I have replied twice to your last posting, but have heard no response. Unless a solution can be presented quickly, I fell I must return the product. LPug and play was introduced with Windows 95 and this HP product has not lived up to that 20 year old technological standard. My previous replies are copied below.
Please respond soon.__________________________________________

Hello again!
I haven't heard a response to my most recent reply. Is there anything you can suggest before I give up and return this HP product to the store? I would like a quick resolution to this. As an update to my previous email (copied below), printing is no longer working through Adobe Reader.
Thanks,
Chris

Windows Easy Transfer (WET) Issues with External Hard Drive - "Can't read from the source file or disk"

I work for Office Depot, in the tech department. Basically, one of our associates was supposed to do a data backup, and re-install Windows 7, then transfer the files back. He used Windows Easy Transfer and compacted everything into a 163 GB file.
Now comes the hard part. When we try to put it back on his computer ((drag-and-drop to the desktop) which has been wiped back to factory settings using the recovery partition), it stops at 79.5 GB remaining (you know how it doesn't give you a % of completion,
it just shows how many GB are remaining) and then says "Can't read from the source file or disk" and gives you an option to try again, or cancel. It gets hung up on the same point each time.
Normally, this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the contents on the drive are his wife's architect blueprints and interior design stuff, along with wedding photos, etc, which are the only copies they have. On top of those, they have court documents and other
important files that we are unable to access now.
I wasn't involved with this transfer, so I'm trying to clean up the mess as best I can. I remembered that the customer's wife was Russian, and had some files typed with a Russian keyboard, so on and so forth. I wonder if that's the issue? If not, I really
have no idea how to manually extract things from a ".mig" file, or how to diagnose what area is potentially corrupted.
In light of this situation, we tried using "Recuva" to recover the files post-wipe, but everything was corrupted or unable to be opened, and it also extracted and recovered all of the "useless" photos, such as the skype logos, up and
down arrows for browsers, etc (it was 160,000+ photos).
Trying to avoid a potential lawsuit, unhappy customer, and costing the company lots of money to see if professionals can get into this external hard drive.
Other relevant information:
We used a Toshiba 500 GB (465 GB) external hard drive.
Customer's computer is an HP Pavilion P6000 Series (Model No. p6520y) running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.
Any other information that is needed can be provided, thanks in advance, and hopefully we can find a solution to this issue quickly!

I think there's a lack of understanding somewhere.
"If you even can't start the process, please unplug it from your new PC. Then head back to your new computer and plug
the external drive back in to your new computer. "
Unplug from new, head back to new, plug it back in? That doesn't make much sense! Haha.
I knew what you meant though, somewhat. When I search through the drives after clicking yes (Has windows easy transfer
already saved your files blah blah blah) I click on the transfer file and it says "Windows Easy Transfer could not open the file".
Rather than drag-and-drop the file to the desktop, I now tried to double-click on the file itself while it was plugged
into the computer. It opened, and it started transferring until it was about 70% completed, and then an error popped up saying "WET can't open the easy transfer file, make sure your USB device is plugged in or check your internet connection".
I checked, and the USB hard drive's light wasn't on. Now, I unplug it and plug it back in, and the light comes back on,
so I click Retry, and it resets the bar back to nothing and says "Transfer time: 1 minute".
Rather than continue trying, I clicked "Cancel" instead of Retry, and it says "Your transfer did not complete successfully."
It says to click "view report" for more information, but there's no "view report button".
At the moment, I am scanning the External Drive for bad sectors using the check disk tool in properties. It's frozen
at "0 USN bytes processed".

Can not select from SAPTOOLS.DB6PMCF

We use third-party tool to monitor our SAP systems. We receive an error
Can not select from SAPTOOLS.DB6PMCF
when we monitor DB2 database.
Function DB6PMCF is registered in SAPSID schema. Can I register it also in SAPTOOLS schema? What is a correct procedure for this?

Hi Milan,
I think you have to issue the following command for the affected user.
db2 "grant execute on function saptools.db6pmcf to <user>"

Can not print from preview after Lion Update

I can't print from preview since I updated to Lion. After I hit command P or select print from the file tab preview totally freezes up and gives me the spinning wheel of death until I force quit preview. I have no issues printing from anything else, such as word, excel, web pages. So I don't think it's a printer/driver error. Help?

I would still mention what printer you have and make sure you have the latest printer driver.

Can not cast from object to int

Hi All,
I have the following bunch of code
Session session;
          session = getSessionFactory().openSession();
          Query query;
          int MaxPageId = 0;
          List list;
          try{
               query = session.createQuery("select max(emp.id) from EmpBean emp");
               list = query.list();
               MaxPageId = (int) list.get(0);
               return MaxPageId;
          catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          return MaxPageId;
The query executed successfully but when i get the max id in a integer variable by the following statement
MaxPageId = (int) list.get(0);
I get the following error "can not cast from object to int"
Please suggest for the same.
-Thanks

Cast to an Integer, not an int, and let autoboxing turn the Integer into an int.
int maxPageId;
maxPageId = (Integer) list.get(0);You can't cast objects into primitives.
Autoboxing isn't casting.
And use Java naming conventions. Local variables start with a lower-case letter.

Can I Select from table skipping extents linked with lost datafiles?

Hi~,
I need your help to recover my database.
I'm using oracle 9.2.0.8 at Fedora 3 with no-archive mode.
and I don't have any backup.
Last night, I experenced hard disk failure.
I tried OS-level recovery, but I lost some datafiles of tablespace.
anyway, I wanted to recover my database without data of lost datafiles.
so, I issued "alter database datafile offline drop" and
start oracle instance.
But, datafiles were not removed from dba_data_files view and
extents linked with lost datafiles were not removed from dba_extents view!
Selecting query of some table containing extents linked with lost data files,
I got "ORA-00376: file xxx cannot be read at this time" message.
So, my question is that..
HOW CAN I SELECT FROM THAT TABLE WITHOUT SCANNING EXTENTS LINKED WITH LOST DATA FILES?
Thanks.

Hi,
Without being in archivelog and without backup, one can't do any sort of recovery. That's why backups and archivelog are so so important.
The offline data file command never does actually drop the datafile. It merely indicates to the control file that now the said tablespace will also be dropped. This won't update any view that the files are not supposed to be used or shown to you anymore.
This is what documentation says about the recovery of the database in the NoARch mode,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/osrecov.htm#i1007937
You do need a backup in order to get those tables being read. Oracle doesn't have any feature which can offline/skip the missing extents for you and let you read the data without them.

Unable to print from my desktop but I can print wirelessly from my tablet

I have an HP Officejet 4620 all-in-one wireless printer that worked fine until I switched from a Verizon to an Xfinity router. The printer is not communicating with my desktop [a Gateway], which is using Windows 7, however I can send things from my tablet [ipad] to the printer wirelessly and it prints no problem. I tried to troubleshoot but kept getting pop-ups and I just don't trust saying "Yes" to any of that crap, I've had so many problems with viruses through the years. can you help me please?

We switched from Verizon to Comcast and in the process of switching we lost the ability for my desktop to communicate with my wireless printer [HP 4620]. I could still print from my Ipad, but that was it. In my quest for help I went to the HP help center. I downloaded new drivers for both of my laptops and they were able to print wirelessly. I thought I would do the same for my desktop. But did not need to. I tried printing a document I was working on, and was very surprised when my printer responded. All is well! Thanks for the Forum. It's great to know this type of support is available.

I cannot send email - error message as follows : 'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk.' I can send email from other apple devices, and the email settings are identical. Any ideas?

For some reason I cannot send email - all was working fine, but now I get the following error message when I try to send email:
'The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server smtp.tiscali.co.uk'
I can receive incoming mail ok and I can send email from other Apple devices. The problem seems confined to my Mac Book Pro.
Ant ideas?

TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!
