Didn't update my Leopard for long, can I just use the latest update?
Hi guys, I'm not so long on Mac, so don't know the details, i work with music offline on my Leopard, and didn't update it for long, now wanna do it, can I just download the latest update or I should have all the previous ones, as my system now is 10.5.2?
Thank you
Hi Eustace, I believe that it should be possible to download a dmg on a Windows machine and then transfer it to a Mac and run it, although I must admit I've never done it--I have downloaded Windows installers on my Mac and transferred them to WindowsXP and Vista, and run them without a problem (although some sites make it difficult because they check your OS and send you to the downloader for the OS you are booted in--I seem to recall one where it simply would not ever let me download what I wanted). I wouldn't recommend this for the OP though--I really think the best bet is to have the Mac connected to the Internet and run Software Update, so that all the updates needed are available and get run. Once the first batch are run and the computer restarts, one would then run Software Update again to see if other updates then become available...something that happens quite often. The OP would have to know all the updates that are available and needed on the Mac beforehand, then find the stand-alone updaters for each one and download them, and still wouldn't find out what other ones might be needed after running the first batch.

if i get an i pad with 3 g service capability do i have to use it in order for the i pad to work or can i just use the wifi part because i dont have the extra money to pay for a data plan
If you do get 3G, you only use cellular when wifi is not available. You pay by the month for a 3/4G plan.

There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this? How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer? Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version. What are the killer features I'm missing?
If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

My iTunes is not able to sync the iPhone 4. I'm using windows 7 32bit. At the first step it gets stuck refelcting backing up the phone then nothing happens for ages. I'm using the latest iTUnes version, does anyone have similar prob??? There are no error codes which appear and the iTUNES just gets hanged, is there a solution?
Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected. -
is the ipod shuffle or nano good for exercise if you just use the clip on the unit, and connect to your shorts? if so, does it feel like it's too loose, might fall off?
I often use my shuffle while exercising, cleaning, and just generally going about my day. Never once has it come unclipped exept for when I got the earbud cord caught on something and got said earbuds yanked out of my ears. I have permanently solved that problem by simply running the cord under my shirt. Works like a charm! I can't answer you about the nano, though I'd say it has a higher likelihood of coming off as it is a bit heavier.

I have an I Mac and on it is Aperture one. i have all my photos on it. When I bought Snow Leopard, I could no longer use Aperture because it says i can't open it with Snow Leopard. Do I have to buy a brand new Aperture 3 or can i just download the most recent Aperture 3 download. In other words does the recent download allow me to start using it again, or do I have to go through buying all the downloads?
You can just purchase Aperture 3. If you do this from the App Store it will cost you $80 US but this is still cheaper then buying the individual upgrades.

I doubt the phone is locked to GCI in any way
Well, you're wrong, & in fact not only is it locked, GCI does not offer unlocking for iPhones.
Fact is your post won't help the OP.
And you are 100% sure its locked to them? How can you know this? While GCI does not offer unlocking that does not mean the phone is actually locked to it. Get off your high horse.
Its possible the original owner had an unlocked phone. he was using with GCI. Or that GCI doesn't actually have locked phones. Seeing as they don't even have their own infrastructure but instead use AT&T's I doubt they'd have iPhones specifically locked to them and that would be the reason they do not offer unlocking (because there's nothing for them to unlock). And just to clarify, I'm not saying for a fact its not locked to them. It very well maybe be, but without knowing more about the phone and going by the fact GCI uses AT&T infrastrucure its possible its not locked. But here's no way to say for sure either way.
Trying a Sim card from AT&T or another carrier might just help the OP if its actually unlocked or locked to AT&T rather than GCI. -
Can i just use the time capsule as back up storage
Can I use the Time Capsule as just back up storage? I am a little bit confused on why I should set up another wireless network and was wondering if this would interfere with my current wireless network? I am not very computer savvy.
You can.. but should you??
Not everything you can do you should do!!
I just posted the same thing here.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5051446?tstart=0
Do not setup another wireless network.. whatever you do. If you buy a TC for storage.. or already have one.. then it should still be part of the existing network.
Describe your network and we can tell you how to fit the TC in.
Certainly the TC can be used as a second wireless Acess Point (AP).. this is totally different to second wireless network. And you maybe confusing the terms. A network for wireless can have multiple access points but a single network. And for large file transfer over wireless keeping the TC as AP is a good idea. -

To switch PCs, do I need the original install disk or can I just use the upgrade download and s/n?
I need to download my Acrobat 9 Pro on a new PC, but I cannot find my original product installation disk for Acrobat 8. I have my serial # and the download link for the Acrobat Pro 9 upgrade. Do I need to install Acrobat 8 first, and then download the upgrade? How would I do that without the installation disk?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You say that you have Mac OS X 10.7.5, so if it came preinstalled, see that you can't reinstall it because it's registered to the old owner. Call Apple to get replacement DVDs
If you want, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion. See if your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs Open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion -
Can i just use photoshop cs4 to rotobrush footage?
there is this new feature I have seen in after effects cs5 called rotobrush. at first glance it appears to be a photoshop selection tool that has been ported over to after effects. is this correct? if so can i just use the video features in photoshop to achieve the same effect? I am struggling with a green screen shot where the screen is reflecting in the side of the car. i may need to just lose the green screen altogether and shoot the car and actor against a kind of uniform brown background and rotoscope the actor and car. instead of upgrading to production studio cs6 perhaps i can already do what i need to do with my existing software which is cs4.
thanks in advance
AngusI looked at the two clips, and I'm sorry you're so far into the project. Bad reflections. Unwanted shadows. I noticed you wondered out loud, "How do they do it in Hollywood?"
For starters, they use visual effects people with years of training and experience. They have photographers who already know how to shoot for visual effects. Frame One never gets shot until they KNOW things will work.
The only time they shoot just on faith of success is when they shoot test footage. Not in production.
In my opinion, you're at this metaphorical point:
You're sitting on the limb of a tree, working hard to saw the limb off. Unfortunately, you're making the cut between you and the tree trunk. Once you realize the mistake, you have two options: stop immediately, give it up as a bad job, climb down and try again later... or keep on working and fall hard.
Thus, I offer advice you won't want to hear: stop right now. Cut your losses. Don't waste your time and money until you get the knowledge you need.
This is a good and comparatively inexpensive starting point. -
i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.
Before the reset quit Pages like this:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. -
Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?
Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.

I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?
Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,
GB
