Changing OSX Versions During HD Replacement

I currently have a late '06 Mini Mac (166 Ghz w/80 GIG HD) that has Tiger version 10.4.11 installed.
I will be replacing the existing HD with a 750 GIG HD w/7200 RPM. I also wanted to upgrade to Snow Leopard somewhere in the process.
Should I reinstall Tiger after the HD replacement and then upgrade to Snow Leopard afterwards? Or can I install Snow Leopard on the new HD?
Also, I'm curious about the best way to transfer the data? My plan is to back-up the entire Mini Mac HD and installing on the bigger HD (after OSX install). Is that a good approach?

In theory ...
You can clone your old drive onto your new drive using the free feature of SuperDuper!
Then (again in theory) you can use the Snow Leopard upgrade disc to take Tiger on the new drive up to Snow Leopard.
That is certainly the easiest way to do this. Whether or not it is the most robust way will probably depend on what is installed on your old drive.

Change Production version during creation of Process Order COR1

Hi,
Scenario:
Based on the entered Material, Plant and Order type system need to trigger a popup asking the user to select the Production Version. This should happen before clicking on SAVE button, so that all the values will be populated correctly based on the changed VERID.
I did not find a user exit that enables to change the Production Version (VERID) value. So I thought of displaying the popup in the user exit EXIT_SAPLCOZF_003 which will be triggered before initial screen appears, export the selected value and pass it to a User Exit or BADI where VERID can be changed. But cannot find a user exit to do it.
Please help me find a User Exit or BADI to change the Production Version during creation of Process Order using COR1 transaction before clicking on SAVE button.
Thanks,
Manoj.

Hi Manoj,
So - almost four years later - I saw your post and I saw myself in the very same situation as you did...
I found a solution for those who wants to change the production version of the production order from the sales order creation: create an enhancement in the function module 'MD_VERSION_SELECTION' and you are good to go.

Why do a change from one OSX version to another OSX version?

It seems to me that Mavericks OSX is NOT an upgrade. It seems like it is a side-grade since I would still be using OSX, just a side to side change…. The first response noted that some people have difficulty with iPhoto after doing a side to side change to Maverick. I use iPhoto all the time, don't want any problems with that… and another said that the Time Machine backup no longer worked after the change from OSX (Mountain Lion_ to OSX Mavericks)… That is my backup program and I certainly don't want any problems with that. So my ? remains…. why do a side to side change from one OSX to another OSX version??? The answers received are not answering that ?.
Your replys and comments are appreciated.

The reasons for upgrading are:
- Security (there are a myriad of behind-the-scenes security improvements, and some foreground improvements in programs and system services)
- Service compatibility (ie, syncing services like iCloud)
- Application Compatibility (as programs develop, they will drop support for prior versions of OS X).
- Latest and greatest features, if you find them useful.
- Hardware compatibility, with peripheral devices that may no longer support an older version of OS X.
OS X is not just "OS X" with a bunch of peripheral changes to it. There are a number of under the hood enhancements and changes that have fundamentally altered the OS from one version to the next over the years, be it from the kernel all the way through how accounts are handled, to how background services are run and otherwise managed. Granted from one version to the next is sometimes not as significant of an upgrade, but for the most part there are significant changes. In OS X Mavericks, Apple has added major changes to memory and process management, which offer potential to greatly increase battery life, and/or reduce power consumption and wasted CPU cycles.
Of course, with any upgrade you will get the potential for drawbacks, such as initial break-in hiccups.

You need to restart the iMac and hold down the Command and R keys immediately.
You will then have the utilities drop down and you choose Terminal
When Terminal opens, type exactly:
resetpassword
and press Return.
When the Reset Password window opens, select the user for which you want to change the password.
Enter the new password twice, and then click Save.
Accept the next dialog window,
And then Apply
When finished click the apple at the left side of the menu bar, and the Restart.

Mass Changing a Version Name

Is there a way to select a group of photos and mass change the Version Name? For instance, I have multiple pictures of Germany that currently have a version name of IMG_XXX.JPG - I'd like to change all these to just Germany.

This advise works if you didn't give the photos a version name during importing . I gave about 160 photos the wrong version name due to my failure to check. when i imported, it listed my previuos version name from other photos. now i try a batch change but it only adds the new version name to the one i don't want ,I've tried replace instead of append with no luck. any advise to delete existing version name and add a new version name. wayne

My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having the os between?

My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having any of the osystems that are in between these two?

I would suggest Snow Leopard from there. Last I heard, telesales were selling it at $20 for the single user.
With that, you can run mostly everything that runs in Tiger, providing you specify Rosetta to be installed (custom installs).
You will almost certainly have problems with printer and scanner drivers unless they're very new models.
Also, some software may need updates (Adobe in particular) not all of which are free.
Normally, you can install 10.6.3 directly over the Tiger installation without upsetting your user data, applications or preferences, but you should always back up to an external drive, preferably as a bootable clone (you can use the Restore function in Disk Utility or a number of third-party apps for this).
I've done 8 installs from Tiger to SL; 6 of them went without any problems, but 2 of them wouldn't install until I erased the HDD and did a clean installation. Should that be necessary, you migrate your data back from the external during the Setup process.
For Lion, your specification is minimal and you can't make use of more than another GB of RAM (your maximum is 3GB). It would run, but very slowly.
Also, Lion doesn't have Rosetta and will not run older PPC applications (like Apple Works and older versions of MS Office), or indeed drivers for peripherals that were written in PPC code, so you'd be looking at more expense to replace a lot of programmes.

OSX version, can I upgrade to a supported version ?

Inputs from apple & customer user's perspective:
- There's a compatibility issue everytime apple decides not to support older hardware with an upcoming new osx system version
- I would design the system in a way that during the installation the hardware is inspected and the system installed adaptively to the hardware, no matter how old.
So that I might be able to run a maverick 10.9 version on a G4 powerbook, of course only with features supported by the hardware and that allow a performance with no disadvantages compared e.g. to a tiger 10.4 version. etc.
- That way you could keep running your old hardware if it's ok with the performance and purpose you need and still run a fully supported newer osx version.
- Not comfortable to be obligated to replace your expensive and still performant hardware completely just because apple does not support any systems anymore that would be compatible with the hardware …
- I also would not release Bootcamp versions depending on OSX version regarding Windows version dependencies. Why can' t I run Windows 7 bootcamp on OSX 10.6 if I can't upgrade to 10.9 because of hardware incompatibility ?
Isn't it ?
Cheers

If you need to get suggestions to someone in Apple Development, use this link:

The forum you found is technically for Mac hardware made before 1998 and gets very little traffic, plus Apple developers do not routinely read these forums. Everyone here is an end-user like you.

No, I get my mail on my computer, not on a website. I used to be able to see the information but in sorting another issue I must have changed a setting or something. I have gone to View. Under Message Attributes most things are ticked but many of them are not bold print i.e. they are pale grey. I don't know how to activate them again.

Here is the link for the downgrade from Apple.

I went into my desktop PC the to Start/My music/iTunes folder.
In my folder there was nothing called ITunes Library.itl., but I had file called iTunes Library, in the center of it labeled "Lib", so I re-named it to "iTunes Library.itl.backup" Then went to the folder from iTunes" Previous iTunes
Library" and copied and pasted mine was iTunes Library 2011-04-02 right into the iTunes main folder.
Close your iTunes folder and then install the previous ver. 10.3 of the Apple link. I did not reboot PC. Did not use Cc cleaner nor add/Remove. then after 10.3 said finished installing 10.3 I clicked on my iTune Icon and iTune came up, iPod not plugged in yet.
Then I clicked on "let iTune to find all my music and install them", said towards bottom of iTunes.
Why we don't have the answer but iTune will put all your music in but you will have duplicates of the songs, so you will have your work cut out for you, takes time. plus some of my Artwork was missing, but I save that too.
I'm not Responsible for this instructions, this is what worked for me.
I think everything here is in order. Lot of my information came from all of you guys.Thank you. took a lot of reading, and trial and errors 2 1/2 day latter.

OWB Change Management/Version Control Best Practice

Hi
I am about to start developing a data warehouse using OWB 10g R2, and I've been doing quite a lot of research into the various deployment/change management/version control techniques that can be used, but am still unsure which is the best to use.
We will have 2-3 developers working on the project, and will be deploying from Development, to Test, to Production (each will have a separate repository). We want to be able to easily identify changes made between 1 release and the next to have a greater degree of control and awareness of what goes into each release. We also wish to use a source control system to track changes (we'll probably use SVN, but I don't think that the actual SCS tool makes a big difference to our decision at this point).
The options available (that I'm aware of), are:
1. Full MDL export/import.
2. Snapshot MDL export/import.
3. Manual coding of everything using OMB Plus.
I am loath to use the full MDL export/import functionality since it will be difficult, if not impossible, to identify easily the changes made between 1 release and the next.
The snapshot MDL export/import functionality is a little better at comparing releases, but it's still difficult to see exactly what has changed between 1 version and the next - particularly when a change to a transformation has been made. It also doesn't cope that well with tracking individually made changes to different components of the model.
The manual coding using OMB Plus seems like the best option at the moment, though I keep thinking "What's the point of using a GUI tool, if I'm just going to code everything in scripts anyway?".
I know that you can create OMB Plus code generation scripts to create your 'creation' scripts, but the code generation of the Alteration scripts seems that it would be more complicated than just writing the Alteration scripts manually.
Any thoughts anyone out there has would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Liffey

Well, you can also do per-object MDL exports and then manage those in your version control system. With a proper directory structure it would be fairly simple to code an OMB+ Script that scans a release directory tree and imports the objects one by one. I have done this before, although if you are using OWB as the primary metadata location for database objects then you have to come up with some way to manage object dependency order issues.
The nice thing about this sort of system is that a patch can be easily shipped with only those objects that need to be updated.
And if you force developers to put object-level MDL into your version control system then your system should also have pretty reporting on what objects were changed for a release and why.
At my current job we do full exports of the project MDL and have a deployment script that drops the pre-existing deployed version of the project before importing and deploying the new version, which also works quite well - although as you note the tracking of what has changed in a release then needs to be carefully managed elsewhere. But we don't deploy any of our physical database objects through OWB. Those are deployed from Designer, and our patch script applies all physical changes first before we replace the mappings from the OWB project. We don't even bother synching the project metadata for tables / views / etc. at deployment. If the OWB project's metadata for database objects is not in sync with Designer, then we wind up with deployment errors. But on the whole it works pretty well.

Changing iMovie background during photo show

Does anyone know how to change the background during still photos in iMovie HD? Ideally looking for a complete white matte (rather than generic black), for when some or all photos are not the same size as the QT movie or TV screen. I'm not talking about backgrounds during transitions here. I figured there must be a way to do this because it can be changed in iPhoto, but really need change in iMovie. Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Mark,
Unfortunately, you cannot change the background in iMovie.
If you don't mind spending some money, Photo to Movie will allow you to. It can also do multiple key frames and rotations.
I believe there's a free trial version.

Lightroom 3 on OSX version 10.8.5 - not reading raw files

I have a new mackbrook pro, osx, version 10.8.5 with Lightroom 3. The program will open but will not read my raw files. Do I need an update for Lightroom 3? If so, which update? Iphoto will read the raw images and I can drag images from iphoto into lightroom but Lightroom will not load the raw images from my camera. Please help.

If you have to work with it, I would simply import through the finder to a folder on your hard disk and then import from there. You might have to set up the USB communication mode on your camera to Mass storage isntead of PtP (should be somewhere buried in the menus). Changing that setting might help with the direct Lightroom import too. You might also get better results going through a card reader (you can get them at many places for <$10) instead of connecting directly to the camera which is always a recipe for problems and slow imports. A card reader is a good investment as they usually are MUCH faster than going through the camera's USB connection.
A Lightroom upgrade to v5 is $79 dollars. It might be worth it to think about. I understand tight money though and sometimes even $80 is a big deal but you might not have been aware you can get upgrade pricing if you have LR 3. ANother option is getting the creative cloud photographer deal which is $10/month and includes both the full version of Photoshop and Lightroom. I don't like the idea of rental software but that is quite the deal.

Can't install flash player on Mac OSX version 10.4.11

Hello
I've spent the morning trying to do this and still no joy. I had flash player already and when trying to use the 4oD website it asked me to download or upgrade flashplayer. I did, the correct version according to my mac version. All goes well and the window message says 'installed successfully'.The only thing I find strange is that just before this message appears I hear the sound of items being put in the 'trash' ... and there they are. Other times the message error -1409 appears. The only icon that appears is the Flash player installer.pkg so not sure whether the application was installed or just the installer! All web searches prompt me to download the missing plug in, both in safari and mozilla. Java script is definitely enabled on both browsers.
I have use the uninstall package three times, restarted the computer, downloaded flash player again but no change.
Forgive my limited use of jargon - this doesn't make any sense to me but I've just spent 3 hours following instructions to no avail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
