Can you update to something other than most recent

My wife has a 16GB iPad2. Currently running iOS 6. She is reluctant to upgrade to iOS 8 for fear that it will overwhelm her iPad and performance will degrade. Is there a way she can upgrade to iOS 7?
Or, are her fears about iOS 8 unfounded?

Never update the iOS simply for the sake of updating. If the iPad is working as it should now, I would personally keep it at the same iOS version. On the other hand, if you require the use of apps that are only compatible with iOS 7 or higher, then you may have no choice but to update to iOS 8.
Also beware of the change in the look going from iOS 6 to iOS 8...it's very different and may take some time to get used to. There are many screen shots online of iOS 8 that you can use to make a comparison. Or go to a retail store like Best Buy to experience it for yourself.
Also know (I believe you do) that the iPad 2nd gen is at the bottom of the compatibility scale for iOS 8. Performance will likely suffer because of this...to what extent, I cannot say as there have been mixed reports of issues...some have experienced them while others have not (or simply do not notice them). In the end, you'll take your chances and cannot undo (or revert back to iOS 6) the iOS update if you decide to update.

Can you install CS5 anywhere other than the C Drive?

I already have CS5 successfully installed on my computer and it works perfectly.
The problem I have is that I'm running out of space on my C drive. (Currently 864 MB Free of 64.2 GB).
After a quick look at the stuff I have on this drive, it seem's to make sense to me to move Photoshop to a different drive, and regain over 10 GB of space back instantly. I already have a dedicated Photoshop drive on my computer (H:) which contains all my Fonts, Actions, Brushes etc. It would be awesome if I could install it there instead.
However, where computers are concerned, I know that nothing is ever as simple as it seem's.
Could someone let me know what sort of problem's I could expect from doing this, or even if it is possible to do.
Just out of interest, I started the CS5 installer earlier today whilst still having Photoshop installed just to see if it was something it would let me do. (I have no intention of uninstalling Photoshop from my C drive until I know if it's doable).
As you can see from the image above it shows that I already have Photoshop installed and it shows the location (Highlighted for you in Yellow).
I have tried to change the drive letter to H: but I cannot change the text within that box. I was wondering if that location only relates to the already existing copy of Photoshop. And therefore I would need to uninstall the existing copy before I can change this. Or will that location always be C:\Program Files\Adobe regardless.
In short, Is it possible to install CS5 to a drive other than C: without there being any problems?
Also is it possible to install 2 copies of CS5 onto 2 different drives? So I can test the new one before finally getting rid of the old one.
Any help or advice will be gratefully received.

You would, of course, have to uninstall the current copy before installing Photoshop in a different place.
You can only install one copy of the same version at one time on the same PC.
You're not going to be able to install it in another place just to see if all went well before uninstalling it from drive C:.
And yes, choosing an alternate drive and location into that field with the little folder icon during an install will allow you to install Photoshop on another drive. That allows you to keep the better part of a gigabyte of software off the C: drive.
Keep in mind that there are a number of things (e.g., Adobe common software) that will still and only install on drive C: however, and there's nothing you can do to change those locations.

Wifi connection - can you get it anywhere other than home?

Hey
Sorry if this question has been answered 100000000000000 times before, I have searched posts.
Can you get internet access anywhere in London, shops, tube etetc without having to put in a password??
Thanks

You may find free WiFi hotspots around London in cafes, etc, or even peoples home wireless networks (although using other peoples WiFi is stealing and you can be arrested for it).
There is a nation-wide WiFi service that you might want to consider, it will only give you a connection when you are near one of their 7500 hotspots which are most in bars, pubs and phone boxes.
The service is provided by 'The Cloud' and they have done a special deal with Apple for the iPod touch, you can get a months service for £3.99. Once you are signed up you never need to log in again to their service, as soon as you are near one of their hot spots your iPod will connect to it (if you have WiFi turned on).

HT4972 I have a 4.2.8 (8E401) version of the iPhone. Can I update this phone to the most recent IOS? I don't have an update software tab in my General Settings.

IOS

Follow the instructions given in the previous post. Your phone will be updated to the most recent version of iOS compatible with the phone.

HT4623 My IPad 1 does not show software update under setting/general. How can I update my iOS to the most recent one?

How can I update my iOS to ios5 and latest when I do not have software under setting/general?

Connect iPad to computer and use iTunes to update.
Your iPad 1 is not capable of being upgraded to iOS 6.

G4 wireless/Can you use another product other than Airport?

I have a G4 tower and I am using a Netgear wireless router for my Dell computer, is there another usb or wireless option for the G4 I can use?

You don't have to have an Aiport card to connect to the Netgear. Most USB WiFi dongles work with OS X. They're about the size of a thumbdrive and can cost as little as $40-$50 USD.

Can you sync to anything other than Outlook?

I just purchased an 8830 from Verizon. I formerly had a Palm, and used the Palm Desktop software. I use Thunderbird for my email, and have just installed the Lightning addon for Calendar and Tasks. My questions are-
1. Has anyone written an add-in or conduit so I could use Thunderbid/Lightning?
2. Are there any other PIM apps for my PC that the Blackberry WILL sync to for calendar/tasks/contacts?
(Yeah, I know...those of you who will just say "Just get over it and use Outlook" might as well save your breath. And for the record, I also use OpenOffice instead of MSOffice. I can't afford the Micro$oft upgrade fees anymore. )
Thanks,
Eric Lorenz

You can do it, but it will cost you a few dollars. Go to http://www.mobical.net and sign up for a free account. It's a full-fledged online PIM, but you can just use the address book if you like. Funambol has a free Thunderbird sync tool that works like a charm, which you can get from http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=149326&use_mirror=osdn&filename=Funambol-Pim-Plugin-win32-v0.4.5.xpi&53502710. Set it up using the info at https://www.mobical.net/mobical/application/MobicalApplication.html#gwt-faq. Once you've synced your Thunderbird contacts to Mobical, get either the Funambol or Nexthaus SuncML plug-in for your Blackberry, and set it up to sync with Mobical as well. You can get a free trial, after which you have to shell out ~$30 US to buy the plug-in. You can now sync contacts between your BB and Mobical (and other PIM info too if you like).. With the Nexthuas client, you can set up an auto-sync for, say, every 15 minutes (maybe with funambol too, i don't know). So now, you have your Blackberry contacts (+ maybe other data) being wirelessly synced with Mobical every 15 minutes. When you run Thunderbird, you now nice have a nice sync button on your toolbar that you can press whenever you want to sync Thunderbird and vice-versa.
Enjoy!

Can a muse subscriber reconfigure the forms widgets to something other than BC?

Can a muse subscriber reconfigure the forms widgets to something other than BC?

What I did for my forms was create a copy of my Muse site file where I deleted everything except for the page with the forms (there were 2 on one page, and there are none anywhere else on the site). I kept the master, made a copy of it, and took everything out of the master. I then went to the page (titled "reach me", containing two forms, one for questions, and one for a mailing list) and selected everything and grouped it. The grouped item allowed for Muse to give me a width/height of all of the elements together. i took those dimensions and set them as the page defaults on the master i had just wiped out. i set all margins, footers, padding, etc to 0 and made it 1 column. i published the site to catalyst, and then copied the url to my clipboard. opening my site up again (the muse file i made the copy from) i went to PLAN and made a copy of the Reach Me page (as a backup, should something go awry, i called it "Reach Me-old") i opened the original "reach me" (being that all my other pages linked to it and not the copy i had just made) i wiped out all of the forms and content and inserted an html code snippet. i typed:
<style type="text/css">
#frame {overflow-x:none;overflow-y:none;border:0px;};
</style>
<iframe id="frame" src="URL" width="WIDTH" height="HEIGHT" scrolling="no" seamless sandbox="" />
* replace URL with the url you copied earlier
*replace width and height with the ones you typed in the b-master (or it might be called "A-Master copy" in your business catalyst site
this worked out just fine for me hope it helps you guys
check it out working:
ilenepricedesign.com (reach me page)
ilenepricedesign-contact.businesscatalyst.com (the page i created an iframe of)
===============
update: there were some issues with it (it worked for the most part, just some visual problems)
i created a copy muse file, deleted all except the page and the master i needed, and uploaded as-is to catalyst. i then fixed all hyperlinks on the master for the copied muse file to link back to original site and then on site linked the menu item for the page to go to the catalyst page. this works perfectly, i dont mind the url changing when everything looks the exact same. to the average user, i think you should be fine.

How to upgrade to something other than the most recent OS

I am currently running Os 10.6.8. I would like to update, but I have a critical application that is only qualified for 10.8.2 and the current operating system is 10.8.4. Is there a way to buy something other than the current OS?

Apple updates the OS X installer at the Mac App Store with the latest version, and older OS X versions disappear. If you want to upgrade to Mountain Lion and you purchase Mountain Lion at the App Store, you will get the OS X Mountain Lion installer with 10.8.4 installed, so it will install 10.8.4, without any possibility to install 10.8.2.
You can try changing system files to look like you are using 10.8.1 and try applying the 10.8.2 update, but doing this you may damage OS X Mountain Lion

Can I change the view of videos from thumbnails to details or something other than thumbnails?

I loaded a couple of tv series and movies into my ipad air 2 and when I click on the videos app they all appear as thumbnails. I was wondering if someone could help me change the view to maybe details or something other than thumbnails just so I can view what tv series I have. I couldn't find any option any where on the screen or in settings on changing the view. Please help

Ok nevermind I managed to sort it out.. had to change the type of video and sort the shows with their seasons. pretty long process.

Boot into something other than hard drive

I'm having problems partitioning in boot camp, so I read that I should defrag my drive. I'm getting the error because it can't move certain files.
So I'm using iDefrag, but it won't let me use most of the defrag options because I'm using the disk it is defraging. I tried to boot using the leopard disk that came with my macbook, but I can only use certain programs while this disk is open.
What do I need to do to boot into something other than the hard drive to defrag?

Hi again,
found this procedure http://www.bradbergeron.com/2006/11/howto-install-and-boot-os-x-on-a-flash-drive / to install and boot a basic OSX on an USB Memory Stick.
Since this How-To was written for OSX Tiger you might consider getting a bigger sized USB-Stick for the space OSX Leopard needs.

ACS 4.2 RDBMS Action 105/108 - How to set to something other than default "RADIUS Token Server"

I'm trying to create an import script for RDBMS to import users, but cannot figure out how to set the "PASS_TYPE_RADIUS_TOKEN" to something other than the default of "RADIUS Token Server". We have multiple RADIUS Token Server definitions.
I can create a user with what I need, except external db password is set to "RADIUS Token Server". How do I set it to (for example) something like "RADIUS Token Server - xxxx"
We have more than 1 RADIUS Token Server definition called "RADIUS Token Server - xxxx", "RADIUS Token Server - yyyy".
Thanks!

As per my knowledge you have to update 4.2 ACS to
5.1, because when you go for RDBMS synchronization it wont allow you, I have faced problem in past while primary ACS was 4.1 and secondary I have 4.2, I have updated primary ACS to 4.2 and everything is working fine.

When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

Assign boot drive letter to something other than C

When setting up XP Mode, is there any way to assign the boot drive to something other than C? I know once it's set up it's next to impossible to change, but there should be a way to assign it during setup. Any ideas??

Hi,
Why do you want to change system drive letter in Windows XP mode? As you said, you're not allowed to do that. Based on my test, you can succeed in changing this drive letter C: to other letters through registry, after you attach another virtual disk
(eg E:) into XP. However, It will damage your XP system, which proves not to be a good solution provided in Internet. So I recommend you not to change this letter.
Thanks!
