Change of system to Leopard?

Hi! Does anyone know if it necessery to jump from Tiger to Snow Leopard or if I have to install Leopard first?

Actually, you can jump directly to Lion if you buy the $69.00 Apple USB Lion Flash Drive installer (and your computer meets the minimum system requirements.)
So, yes, you can go directly to Snow Leopard from Tiger. However, were you to do that I strongly suggest you backup your Tiger system, erase your hard drive, then install Snow Leopard.
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally. 
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
Erase and Install Snow Leopard
1. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.

  • Changed operating system mid project in Final Cut Pro

    I was working on a  Final Cut project and changed operating systems from Snow leopard to Mavericks in mid project. I have since changed to Mountain Lion as many of my programs were not comparable to run with Mavericks.   My FCP project takes ages to render and auto saves every minute even though I have set it to save less often.  Are these problems the result of changing systems.  I only had a sense this was so after opening an old project and working on it and it running smoothly with fast render etc.
    any help appreciated
    Catherine.

    Do a test. With the range tool make a very short range selection of your project and Share>DVD. In the export dialoge >Settings, choose Hard Drive for Output Device. Click on the Add button for menu background. When the next window appears, hit cancel. See if it exports and burns a disk image, If it does, try the complete project.
    BTW, is your project length 79 minutes or 79 seconds?

    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space

    Hi Kaj ,
    Well I am in a situation where we need to extend a
    existing system and we are providing the client with
    a new jar file for every modification. Now all I need
    is that our programe automatically add (infect
    append) the jar file in the existing system
    CLASSPATH, so that the client need not to add(append)
    the new jar files all the time.
    Can you provide any help??As others have said, use -cp as argument when you start your application. It's quite common that people write a script that adds all jars in a certain directory to the argument to -cp.

  • Change Receiving System Name in BD64

    Hi folks,
                   We have our production instance and QA instance; we have copied all data from Production to QA ENV (Client Copy). After that when I login in to QA system I saw in BD64 all the system pointing to receiving production system. I  ran  BDLS ( transaction ) which convert production logical system name to QA logical system name in tables and as well as in SCC4 transaction.
    I again went to BD64 and I noticed after running BDLS my production system name replace to QA system name. But Receiving systems names are still pointing to production systems. I know that BDLS just change the sending system logical name not receiving.
    My question is that how I can change or modify the receiving system production names to testing name. Is there any way or program?
    I try to change the receiving system name but it’s not letting me change. You guys have any idea how to change the receiving system production name to test name.
    I don’t want to create all distribution model names with test systems as I have 30 distribution models and client copy is keep on going after every 1 or 2 months.
    Please help me in this regards.
    Thanks

    The OSS notes just tell about the BDLS. I already done with BDLS… Scenarios is like that say we have one distribution model name in Production
    Model name = ZXYZ
    (Sender system) Production system name = PRD_123
    (Receiving production System in UK)      = PRD_UK
    These above are the setting for Production client.
    We copy data from Production to Quality, so its copy all the data and Distribution name in QA ENV…
    So now my QA looks like
    Model name = ZXYZ
    Sender system) Production system name = PRD_123
    Receiving production System in UK)      = PRD_UK
    After that I ran T-code BDLS and give logical system name = QA_123, then when I go back to BD64 the model is looks like following
    Model name = ZXYZ
    Sender system) Production system name = QA_123
    Receiving production System in UK)      = <b>PRD_UK </b>
    But PRD_UK isn’t change because it’s the production system for receiving one , so Now I need to modify <b>PRD_UK to QA_UK in BD64</b> , How I’ll do it ?
    I am trying to change receiving system but it doesn’t allowing me.
    I hope, now I made my self more clear.
    Thanks in Advanced.
    Bye

  • Does not allow to change source system in Variant

    Hi Gurus,
    I am creating a variant for the program RSIMPCUST, but it does not allow me to change source system name. It is showing me gray color. Do you how to fix this issue ?.
    Thanks
    Liza

    Hello Liza,
    Did you try my solution?
    [Re: Change source system name in variant in BWQ]
    There are solutions to change variants properties, but that particular program has the logsys parameter not able to change, so you cannot change the value of that variant (only with debug).
    It's best to go for that solution I already provided to you...

  • Change source system in Dev

    Hi
    I have a dev system that is mapped to 2 source systems, R/3 clients (clients 245 and 246) and datasources are mapped to either of these systems.  One of these R/3 clients (245) has now been deleted and I want to convert all of the datasources that pointed to it to the new client (246).   I want to convert only the datasources pointing to the old client (245), but not change those that are already pointing to the new client (246).  Would BDLS help in this situation.
    Thanks in advance
    Simon

    you can do these:
    1 )  change in SM59, the source r/3 qlty to point to your dev server. That should do the trick without making a lot of changes. once you change the source system via this option, you have to perform a check/restore (so that the partner profile in dev system can be updated), replication and activation of the transfer structures.
    2) You can also ask your BASIS guy to run program for BDLS that changes the system pointer.

  • No change to system. Suddenly cannot log into itunes store or App store using Apple ID. Itunes v12.1.1.2 osx 10.10.27

    Made no changes to system.
    Logged into itunes today and it will not accept my Apple user ID, so cannot access store.
    All local music is visible and all local functions (sync with iphone/backup etc) work
    Same issue with AppStore, receive message cannot connect to app store.
    However, from Mac using either Firefox/Chrome/Safari browsers I can access iCloud (using same AppleiD), so ID seems ok
    I have confirmed credentials for itunes and app store by using my iphone 5 and ipad.  Both seems to work and connect
    I did have had some broadband (BT + BTHomehub2) issues last week, but now can access all public sites using FF and Chrome browsers, through Safari sometimes does refuses to connect, but if system is re-booted Safari works again.
    I have check date/ time settings.  I have check Apple Firewall is on but allows connections to itunes and appstore
    I have removed the following
    com.apple.itunes.plist
    com.apple.ituneshelper.plist
    com.apple.appstore.plist
    com.apple.safari.plist
    networkinterfaces.plist
    com.apple.wifi.message-tracer.plist
    com.apple.airport.perference.plist
    and rebooted.
    All entries are recreated successfully
    There are no duplicate entries or entries with strange extension to these plists
    Any advice or direction of where to look next would be appreciated

    Hey thanks b noir. That solved my problem! I ran the autoruns programs and the only suspicious programs in the winsock tab was Speedbit (a video accelerator program). As soon as I unistalled it iTunes started working properly again. It's strange because Speebit ran together with Itunes for quite a while without problems -  must've been a new update.
    I guess I'll never get back the many many hours I spent trying solve this problem...
    Good luck to everyone out there with similar issues. i hope this helps.

  • How to change the system time in (E-Business Suite)

    Hi,
    I need to change the system timings in E-Business Suite.
    My Database & Application is on different nodes..
    How could i change system timings on both...
    Thanks,
    Alig

    Alig,
    Changing the OS date/time will have no impact on the data (except for the scheduled jobs at the database and the OS levels). As mentioned in the threads I referenced above, you have to stop the application/database, change the date/time at the OS level, and start the application.
    The application is just an interface which connects to the database, so it gets all the data from the database server. However, if you want to change the date/time it has to be done on both nodes (stop all the services first as mentioned above).
    Btw, what is the point of changing the date/time because of Ramadan? The business requirement of your client does not make sense (how does it differ from the application/database perspective if you start working at 9:00 AM instead of 7:00 AM for example)?
    The steps in the document should be enough, and if you do not trust any of the replies here you could simply log a SR and confirm this with Oracle support.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Change source system name in variant in BWQ

    Hi Gurus,
    I created a process chain for global seetings for unit of measurement and fiscal year variants and transported to BWQ.
    In BWQ, I found the source system name in variant is showing ERD source system name, but I need to change it to ERQ source system name. Any advice how to change source system name in variant in BWQ I would appreciate it.
    Thanks
    Liza

    Hello Again Liza...
    I had the same problem but I didn't need to include in process chain...
    So to execute periodically you can change it in debug mode, not the best solution...
    But since you need to use it in a process chain, you should copy that program to one of yours Z.
    Do this:
    Go to transaction se38 and insert the program name "RSIMPCUST".
    Click on the button of "Copy" (Ctrl+F5).
    Change the source program name to ZRSIMPCUST (or whatever you want)
    Click Enter
    Click the button to mark everything (F8)
    Click Enter
    On the next window of the name of the include click enter (leave it blank)
    Click on the button Change of your Source Code
    In line number 54 you'll find this in Selection Screen part:
    PARAMETERS:  logsys  TYPE rsa_logsys MODIF ID p01.
    PARAMETERS: logsysnm LIKE tbdlst-stext MODIF ID p02.
    Delete those two lines and insert this ones:
    PARAMETERS:  logsys  TYPE rsa_logsys.
    PARAMETERS: logsysnm LIKE tbdlst-stext.
    Now click on Activate button (Ctrl+F3)
    Now you have a new program just like the old one but you can change the source system to whatever you want!
    Please assign points,
    Diogo.

  • Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?

    I think it is very nice to include vnc server right into Leopard. But one problem, it seems it will only accept connection from clients when it is set to use full colors. This is painfully slow over WAN, any way to change the requirement from the server end?

    Possible to change color depth for Leopard's VNC server?
    Yes you can modify your screen sharing application so that you can adjust the colour depth. However you need to issue a command in the terminal to get this to work.
