Cant upgrade from 10.3.2 to 10.6.8 bill of materials needed

error reads bill of materials needed? how do i fix or get .bom file?
Thanks

I should rephrase that, for those Macs that shipped new with 10.7 or later, the only way to get 10.6.8 or earlier running is through virtualization of the server operating system.   When I say "new" that means the way my tip 6841 identifies them.   
MacBook Pro 9,x and higher
Mac Pro EMC# 2629, and Mac Pro 6,x and later
Mac Mini 5,x and later
iMac 12,1 i3 (EMC 2496 on foot, MC978LL/A), iMac 13,1 and later
MacBook Air 4,x and later
All MacBooks (without Air or Pro designation) can at least use the system specific 10.6 installer disk that shipped with them if they are newer than 10.6's August 28, 2009 release.
Anything older you should at least be able to get a system specific 10.6 installer if not the retail disk.
The retail 10.6 disk that is available now works on pre-March 15, 2010 Macs.  To be more specific on those Macs, that means:
iMac 11,1 and older
Mac Mini 3,x and older
MacBook 6,1 and older
MacBook Pro 5,x and older
MacPro 4,x and older
MacBook Air 2,x and older
can all use the current 10.6 retail available from the Apple Store.
Macs that fall between those criteria must use the 10.6 installer that shipped with them to install 10.6.

  • Cant upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro extended

    Hello everyone,
    I purchased the upgrade from Acrobat 9 Pro to Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, but get an error when I try to install.  The error says "Setup has detected that you already have a more functional product installed.  Setup will now terminate.".  How is it that Acrobat pro is "more functional" then pro extended.  I bought the upgrade because I need the 3d capabilities of extended pro.  How do I work around this issue?

    Oops.  I just read that I need to uninstall acrobat 9 first.  I now have a new issue.  Acrobat extended installed fine, but now it is doing an upgrade check.  It is asking for the serial number for the acrobat 9 pro.  My old version was part of the Creative suite 4.  When I enter the serial number from the creative suite it comes back as an invalid number.  Why is this?

  • Cant upgrade from logic 7.0

    when i try and install the upgrade from 7.0 to 7.0.1 or any other update, it says it cannot find logic in applications. when i launch logic it launches fine.
    any reason for this?

    Hi,
    The Logic Application HAS TO BE in the following folder:
    Macintosh HD / Applications/ IN HERE
    If you have moved it to another location, that is why your Mac cannot update it...
    Cheers

  • I cant upgrade from 10.5.0.142, missing msi file?

    perfect, thanks.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the 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 anyiTunes 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?

  • Upgrade from OS X 10.3.9 to Leopard?  Do I need more memory?

    I only have 256mb of memory and it says min requirement is 512mb. Can I add memory? And if so what is the procedure. I have a 1.8GHz PowerPC G5 with version 10.3.9 and I just purchased Leopard online and I didnt do my research before I purchased it. I haven't gotten it yet, but I just want to make sure that this upgrade is possible and if so, is there anything tricky about uploading the new software? Thank you

    Yes, you can add more memory to your computer. The model you have is pre-2005 and can accommodate up to 4 GBs of RAM. Consult your computer's user manual to find out the exact RAM specifications your will need.
    You have three choices for installing Leopard: Erase and Install, Upgrade Install, and Archive and Install. The first method obviously involves erasing the drive before installing Leopard. This will remove all your data. An Upgrade Install replaces all the files in your current installation with the new ones needed for Leopard but does not affect any of your other files. An Archive and Install archives your current system into a Previous System Folder and installs a fresh copy of Leopard. This would be the preferred approach as it provides a fresh copy of Leopard as you would get with an Erase and Install, but preserves all your files. This is the method I recommend.
    Now, it's important that you make a backup of your current system to another internal hard drive or to an external Firewire drive. This should be a bootable backup just in case you run into a problem installing Leopard, then you can quickly restore your old system with all your files intact. You can make the bootable backup using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You will need a freshly erased backup drive. See the following:
    How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the drive to which you will restore or backup.
    Source means the drive you are restoring from or backing up.
    After making the backup you can do the Archive and Install:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • I am upgrading from an iphone 3gs to an iphone 5 what do I need to do?

    I want to make sure all of my apps and more importantly the songs I purchased with my old 3gs will work on my new Iphone 5.  What is the best way to complete the change over?  Will the Verizon store do this for me?  Should I backup my old phone before I go pick up my Iphone 5 and then "restore" my Iphone five with the 3gs backup?  What do people suggest?  I don't want to lose all the songs I purchased on my old phone.  Thanks

    Your music should be in your iTunes library if you have been syncing your phone, and can be synced back to your new phone.  You should import your photos and videos to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and back up your contacts separately (such as by syncing them with iCloud in Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On).  Then back up your phone and when you set up your new one, during the setup select to restore to your iTunes (or iCloud) backup.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • Upgraded from Firefox 4 to 5 now having Javascript application errors. Need to rollback to version 4.

    Whenever I attempt open a page in a new Window these errors appear, but the Window opens in the background without further problems. Windows 7 Home Premium.
    Opening in a tab doesn't normally cause the error unless a popup page is trying to load.
    Having ability to rollback to previous versions would be a nice feature.
    Thanks for an otherwise good product.
    Bob Dingman

    In order to sync my Xoom with my desktop, (and to test out the solution suggested above) the instructions for syncing are to download Firefox, then restart Firefox. Of course that will download Firefox 5, but if I do that, it will defeat the purpose of trying to work with an earlier version. I have been unable to activate the sync with the firefox version now on my desktop (3.16, I think). Any suggestions? Thanks.

  • NB550D - Upgrade from Windows 7 Starter to Professional

    Dear All,
    I recently bought a Toshiba NB550D and need to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Starter to Windows 7 Pro. I tried the (preinstalled) Anytime Upgrade Wizard but this does not work. I get stuck in the wizard because - as he tells me - "You might need to change locale or language settings to purchase Windows Anytime Upgrade online". I learned that in order to use Anytime Upgrade the locale settings must be identical to those of the country where your billing address is located. For me this country is Switzerland, so everything needs to be in German.
    The problem is, the Windows 7 Starter installation always uses English as "Display Language" and this cannot be modifed after installation. I tried rolling back the installation but there is no choice possible, it is always English. All other locale and language settings can be modified.
    My questions:
    - Is there a way to force the display language of Windows 7 Starter to German (either before or after initial installation)?
    - Is there a way to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro circumventing the problem, e.g. by using a different approach than the anytime upgrade wizard?
    - Any other suggestions which might help?
    Thank you
    gg

    Hi buddy,
    This is depending on the preinstalled Windows 7 Starter. If Windows 7 Starter was preinstalled in English language just an upgrade to an English version of Windows 7 Professional is possible. So you cant upgrade from English to German for example, therefore you have to buy a new Windows 7 version.
    So either you buy a new Windows 7 Professional version in German or you upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate. The Ultimate version provides MUI (Multilingual User Interface).

  • I want to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion, do I have to back up all my personal data??

    I am wondering that in order to upgrade from mac os lion to mac os mountain lion do I need to back up my personal data, or upgrading will start my mac from 0 ?? Please help,I've been putting this on hold for not having a back up disk =(

    Upgrading your Mac will preserve all your user data and settings.
    That said, it is never good to be w/o a backup. So make one now. Use TIme Machine or
    SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.

  • How to upgrade from CS6 to CC?

    I want to upgrade from CS5.5 or CS6 to CC.
    The procedure I need to follow is -> Adobe Creative Cloud Packager.
    What I did?
    1. On a clean system, I started the Packager to make the package.
    2. No problems installing this package on a clean system.
    What I still have to do?
    1. Install the package on a system with CS5.5 of CS6 installed.
    2. Is this a correct procedure?
    Leon

    The  CC package deployment was successfully on a Windows 8.1 computer with CS6 installed.
    On that PC CS6 and CC are present!
    Is this correct?
    This scenario is build in a virtual environment.
    I want to start another case B:
    1. A computer installed with Windows 8.1
    2. Installing CS 5.5. on that computer.
    3. Upgrading to CC with the package
    4. Above scenario building in a virtual environment.
    When I am installing CS 5.5. on that computer, after installation I get a message: there where problems with your installation. (Exit Code 6)
    (Installed twice this scenario, no differences, same message...)
    I did not install the upgrade to CC due to this message.
    Installing CS 5.5. on a Windows 7 computer is no problem: it succeeds successfully with no message at all.
    What's going wrong?
