Can't upgrade Solaris Express 11 to Solaris 11 because pkg is broken

I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32bit

I recently installed a new hard drive in a MacBook 2007 and then 10.6.3. I'd like to be able to Sync iCal to the calendars I have created on other devices (new iCloud account and an ME account). I can't upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 because the MacBook is 32 bit. Just looking for a workaround as this is not a primary device.

You should update to the latest version of Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 - you can download it here; however it's still not compatible with iCloud and though you can connect to access your email you cannot access any other of iCloud's facilities.
However some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. I've not tried it: use at your own discretion.
To access the email:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
Are you sure you can't upgrade to Lion? It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which you may well have, though it also needs 2GB RAM so you might need to add additional RAM (might not be worth it for what you want). The published specs don't mention 32 or 64 bit. You can buy Lion by ringing the Apple Store at the number at bottom left of this page.

I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file. How do I repair it? I can not remove itunes and start over.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Locked-out: "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed

Absolute rookie move. Bought a Mac Mini server (June 2012 model) on E-bay and it came with the previous owner's log-in account still on it. Tried to re-install 10.6 server software with the CDs that came with it but got the message "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed". Any advice on how I can fix this? I'm hoping I didn't buy a brick that I can't do anything with.
Any help is much appreciated.

What OS X software is installed on the box? OS X, or OS X Server?
If it's a newer OS X version and you want OS X Server from the installer disks, wipe the disk and reinstall.
Officially, it's not likely that a recent Mac Mini Server would even officially support something as old as OS X Server 10.6; here's the list of the minimum versions (HT1159) — I don't see a June 2012 model, the closest to that acquisition date would probably be a mid-2011 Mac Mini or Mac Mini Server model, and those require OS X or OS X Server 10.7, or later.
OS X 10.7 also didn't usually arrive with DVD disks, so that may be an old DVD from some other box.
To confirm the Mac Mini model, see  > About This Mac > More Info...

Can I Upgrade Solaris 8 4/01 to 8/01?

I have a Dell 530MT which has P4 processors in it. Reading this forum I see that I need the 8/2001 version of Solaris 8 to install on P4s, but I only have the 4/2001 version. Is there a way to get the 8/2001 version? Is there a way to upgrade my 4/01 CDs to 8/01? Is it as simple as booting the 8/01 DCA?

You need a Mac OS X 10.6.3 DVD(the online Apple Store sells these), the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater(run Software Update after installing 10.6), and Mac OS X 10.8(it's in the Mac App Store once you've reached 10.6.8, but won't work on all Intel Macs.)

Can one upgrade airport express to 811 "N"?

I note the the new airport extreme comes with a, I suspect, firmware upgrade that makes current airport software on your Mac "N" capable. Can one do this with one's airport express unit?
thanks
FPF

No you can't.
The Airport Express does not contain the hardware to support 'N' networks.

Can you upgrade Logic Express 9 to the full logic pro studio?

I have noticed that the logic pro studio upgrades available say they are for 6,7 or 8 only. Will the upgrade apply to version 9 as I have express and would like to upgrade to the pro version with all the extra bells and whistles as my classes are using this software in the new year and I would like the full version for myself.

Yes, see here:
http://bit.ly/79jqV0
Check with the Australian store - there should be no price disadvantage than had you bought Logic Studio initially.

Upgrading Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 on SUN Sparc E2900 server

Hi,
We have a Sparc E2900 server which has Solaris 8 & Veritas Volume Manager 4.0. UFS & VXFS filesystems are under Veritas control.
We are planning to upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 10.
My questions are as follows
1) Can we upgrade from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10 directly ?
2) If Yes does Solaris 10 support Veritas Filesystem ?
3) Which is the best site to get information regarding upgradation ?

Upgrade Solaris 8 from 10/01 to 02/02

Hi all, I need to upgrade some systems from Solaris 8 10/01 to 02/02. I use VxVM 3.2 and VxFS 3.4. I don't need to upgrade Veritas Software. I want use Live Upgrade and in all example I find (2.6 ==> 8) I have to reinstall VxVM. In my situation, is Veritas products reinstallaton mandatory?? Can I use unencapsulation and encapsulation??

Hi,
You have to get volume manager out of the way before you upgrade solaris. You can un-encapsulate the root disk, upgrade then re-encapsulate if you want.
The way I do is as follows:
boot up normally from the vxroot disk.
touch /etc/vx/reconfig.d/state.d/install-db
#This will stop volume manager from starting up in a normal mode. Basically stops all the volume management stuff from interferring
remove the root entries in /etc/system for veritas (e.g. rootdev:/psuedo/vxio@0:0 and set vxio:vol_rootdev_is_volume=1)
#this line tells solaris that the root volume is a veritas device. Without this removed Solaris will try to mount up the root disk as a veritas volume and fail.
cp /etc/vfstab /etc/vfstab.old
cp /etc/vfstab.prevm /etc/vfstab
#replaces the /etc/vfstab file with the pre-volume-manager one
reboot the system.
It will now reboot without volume manager. Boot it all up to make sure there are no problems / errors, the do an init 0, then a boot cdrom - install or whatever to install solaris. upgrade solaris.
Machine will then reboot after Solaris has been upgraded. Re-install volume manager (might not be required if you're on the same solaris version) and re-encapsulate the root disk. Initalise the root-mirror, and mirror the root disk to the mirror (after the 2 reboots that volume manager needs)
Much easier to do the upgrade this way ;)
There are some infodocs on this procedure on the support.veritas.com knowledge base as well, if you want the `preferred veritas endorsed` method..

I set OBP diags-switch? true with diag-level set to max but no problems are reported.
Sun says the NetraX1 supports Solaris-10 but are there any caveats. It seems strange that the latest version of OBP dates to 2002. Am I trying to 'push a string' by upgrading this machine or am I doing something stupid? Any help/advice would be much appreciated. Note that the Solaris-10-u8 imaged is one I downloaded from Sun and made my own DVD but the 10/08 distribution is genuine Sun media, they both fail with the same messages.

I've tried a few other things like creating the user account in lom and most significantly tried hooking up a DVD reader in place of the second disk. The OBP must not have the driver for reading CD/DVD's as it simply wouldn't recognize the drive although I can if I boot the system from the disk under Solaris-8 and mount the CD/DVD drive.
Is there any possibility that the obp on the machine just can't handle Solaris-10?
I tried booting over the net with a mounted DVD on the host machine and using the -v switch and got the following. Can anyone interpret what's happening here? I've edited out the redundant stuff. The DVD I'm trying to boot from is a genuine Sun made DVD and not a downloaded image.

Upgrading Solaris 9 to Solaris 10

Hi, I need to upgrade my workstation from solaris 9 to solaris 10 by CD. And also upgrade solaris 8 to solaris 9.
Do u have any idea how to do it? Can giv step by step?
Thanks
regards,
raymond

You do not need to use liveupgrade to upgrade, unless you want to learn it--it's complicated. It's good for servers and if you wish to go back to pre-upgrade. You need plenty of spare disk space.
First backup your data on your system to another hard disk or DVD.
Then stick in the installation DVD and select "Upgrade" instead of "Initial Install" when asked.

Sun Java Application Server 8.1 Upgrade Solaris 9 to Solaris 10

I have Sun Java Application Server 8.1 (version 8.1_02 (build b06-fcs) ) and HA which are currently installed on Solaris 9 box (Sparc).
Now, I plan to upgrade Solaris 9 to Solaris 10. What should I need to do before and after migration?
Thanks.

Before I start, disclaimer -- I have no knowledge of Hibernate and the following comments are based on the stack trace you have included.
I think your permissions might be set all right but you might have an error in the hibernate query. It looks like hibernate uses antlr to parse the queries. While parsing the query, antlr is encountering an exceptional condition and is trying to exit the VM (by calling System.exit()). Obviously, the hibernate code does not have that permission and therefore the exception is logged.
My guess is if you fix the query such that hibernate/antlr can parse it, you will not run into this error.
Hope this helps,
