Doing a upgrade,Question about pictures

I have just received OS X Snow leopard and I'm just about to do the up grade from OS X 10.5 and I'm wondering if I need to back up my pictures or will they be transferred to Snow Leopard.

You always need a backup of everything important on your computer. Or better, more than one backup. There is never, ever a time that you should be without at least one complete backup. Time Machine is simple and effective for the first backup. Get an external hard drive at least 50% bigger than your internal disk and turn on Time Machine. Make it your top computer-related priority.

  • Question about pictures file in home folder

    I am trying to create more space on my hard drive and have a question about the pictures file.
    In addition to the iPhoto Library I have several folders named 1, 2, 3 etc each containing a bunch of photos; plus several hundred individual photo files.
    My question is whether these files are duplicates of what is in the iPhoto Library - and is there an easy way to find that out?
    And I guess also to find out how they got there in the first place. Could these be imports from disks as opposed to my digital camera?
    Thanks for any help,
    Laura

    Hey laura,
    I haven't used iPhoto for a while but from memory i think that i work similar to iTunes. Whne files are processed by iPhoto they are catalogued on the hard drive according to the iPhoto preferences. I would check out the iPhoto preferences and see if you can see anything in here that will tell you what is going on.

  • Does SCWCD ask question about J2SE

    J2SE are covered by SCJP. does SCWCD exam ask question about J2SE such as collection,assersion...
    Thanks

    of course you do need to have in depth knowledge about JSE as such knowledge will be assumed (after all, you did have to pass SCJP to be able to enlist for SCWCD).
    So the subjects may turn up in questions, but they won't be the things you're tested on.

  • Question about Picture Icons

    We have a list of products on one side of the window. On the
    other side is one image of one of the products. I wanted to find
    out if there, I know there is, but..., way to have the picture
    change when a mouse rolls over another one of the Items? I
    basically want to make it like this - When the page opens there is
    a picture of the first item of the list showing, but when the
    viewer rolls his/her mouse over another one of the items, the
    picture changes to that item. Now, if the mouse moves off of that
    item the picture still stays up, it only changes when the mouse is
    moved over another one of the items. Second, right now the text of
    the items or the titles is also a link to another window to view
    that item, ingredients and directions. Does this make any
    difference? Will it change anything about the picture changes?
    Thanks

    Check out Disjointed Rollovers or Set Text of Layer behavior.
    Existing text links need not be affected.

  • Motherboard upgrade, question about compatibility with existing hard drives etc.

    Hi, I currently have an K8N Neo2 Platinum socket 939 board, 2 gig of OCZ Platinum PC3200 DDR400 RAM, a Lian Li V1000 ATX case, an AMD Athlon 64 3000 processor, 2 Sata 1 hard drives and a TAGAN TG380-U01 380W power supply. All this stuff is from around 2005.
    I'm thinking of upgrading my board to a MSI 870A-G54. Obviously I'll need new memory and a new processor, but my question is this - will I still be able to use the Lian Li case, and the Sata 1 hard drives/power supply with the above board? Also, does it have onboard graphics or will I need a dedicated video card?
    Thanks,
    Chris

     Case, HDD - Yes
     Onboard graphics - No
     PSU, maybe but probably not. Something with more power would probably be wise to get. What PSU you get would depend on the CPU & graphics card you get.

  • Upgrade questions about Prime Infrastructure 1.1.1.24 to 1.3

                   My existing NCS is installed with the small deployment and I'll have a total of 94 AP's but we are installing a new data center and replacing the existing 2 WISM blades for 2 new 5508 WLCs and added 20 more AP'S which will total 114 AP's and 4 controllers. The old WISMs blades and new 5508s will be up together until we migrate exisitng AP's to the new 5508s, so do I need to install the medium deployment since Table for Scaling Prime Infrastructure states:
    Medium: 500 Total. The mix of devices may included up to:
         Wired devices: 300
         Controllers: 5
         Autonomous AP's: 300
         Unified AP's: 300
    Small Deployments are for a total of 250 devices "with up to" 100 Unified AP's and 2 controllers?? 
    Also as part of the download of software for PI 1.3 it   includes Automated Deployment Gateway is this a required piece to install for PI??  We don't use Cisco works so I'm not installing the LMS piece. 
    thank you,
    Sandra

    Isn't it rediculous the message says:::
    Error(s): You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
    Error:Unknown Exception Occurred. If the problem persists send logs to Tech Support.
    And the fix is to use a different browser?
    BTW:: Good Idea to try a different browser.  By the looks of the Error Msg, it just didn't look like a browser issue to me so I didn't think to do that but certainly will next time on this and probably many, many, many other issues I see-
    We only spent about an hour chasing our tails around to see what the issue was.
    Again good catch!
    I was speaking w/ another customer today who mentioned if the application were re-written to use HTML 5 these type problems would go away.
    Oh well.
    Glad I could help you get all the way upgraded and all the way up and running and able to push templates to your lightweight APs.

  • Firmware upgrade question about Photosmart 7520

    Hello,
    I just got my new printer today from HP and it is a HP Photosmart 7520 which is great.
    I was looking online and i noticed there is a firmware update in the support section.
    My question is my printer has firmware ELM1CN1409AR and on the HP site the firmware there is ELM1CN1320AR. Is my firmware the most current or the one shown on HP support site?
    If my firmware is older should I update the firmware or just leave things as is?
    I am not having any issues with the printer as of now, but I always check all drivers and firmware of all my products.
    Thanks in Advance
    Fred
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    as long as you are connected to a computer via USB...I doubt that you will experience the problems that are being SIGNIFICANTLY reported regarding the 7520.
    As you saw in my post that you referenced, with a USB connection, the intermittant scanning/printing problem did not occur.
    Also, please see my entry in the following post regarding the current firmware version vs what HP has posted on their support page:
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/7520-won-t-stay-connected/td-p/3954900
    the version currently installed in your printer, ELM1CN1409AR, is the latest (as of the date of this post) that any 7520 printer connected to a router will be automatically updated to.
    however, please note that for those of us using a wifi connection from the printer to a router, firmware version ELM1CN1409AR has not solved the intermittant connectivity problems.

  • Questions about OS upgrades

    I currently have an 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo desktop running OS Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
    I'm happy with it, although when I wanted to download an Adobe Illustrator free trial today, it said I needed at least 10.7.
    I'm just wondering about the philosophy behind doing system upgrades.   I'm sure many people automatically upgrade as soon as an update is available.  But some people like me keep what they've got until they absolutely need to upgrade.
    In my case, everything runs fine with one exception I mentioned.   So here are my questions:
    1. If I did want to upgrade to OS 7, how would I do that and how much would it cost?  
    2. Would I need to worry about losing anything in the process? 
    3. And if I were to upgrade, why not just go all the way up to Mavericks (10.9)? 
    4. Might there come a time that I will absolutely need to upgrade?
    Thanks for your considered and wise answers!

    Call the Apple Store and ask them.  You will be given a download code after purchase.
    2. Would I need to worry about losing anything in the process?
    You should have a backup.  No worries.
    3. And if I were to upgrade, why not just go all the way up to Mavericks (10.9)? 
    Because you first must determine if you meet ALL of Mavericks system requirements.  Also, the decision is up to you if you want to upgrade further or not.
    4. Might there come a time that I will absolutely need to upgrade?
    Yes.  Depends on the software and/or hardware you are using.

  • A question about upgrades and mroe upgrades

    I've got a question about the upgrade sequence and costs thereof
    I have CS5.5 Production Premium. Suppose I upgrade to CS6 production Premium. If, when CS6.5 comes out and I decided to upgrade, would it be considered an upgrade from 5.5 or 6 for pricing purposes?
    I presume the older the software the more expensive the upgrade but if I'm upgrading from my CS6 upgrade would it be considered an upgrade from CS5.5 9the original suite) or an upgrade from CS6?
    Thank you

    You have a CS5.5 now. Now, you upgrade to CS6.
    When CS6.5 come out. It will be considered as an upgrade from CS6 (and not CS5.5 which is your original suite). Hope this is clear

  • Few questions about upgrading database

    Hi everyone,
    greetings of the day
    I have few questions about the upgrading database,
    In export and import mode
    1.can we have new name for the target database,
    2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as well
    3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than creating a new sysaux tablespace
    4.How come we get consistent export
    In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
    1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the database
    2.How can we move the files to the new location
    3.Can we change db_name of the database
    4.Can we use the old database as well
    In manual upgration using catupgrd scripts
    1.Can we rename the db_name
    2.can we use old database as well
    3.how to move the database files to the new location
    4.can we perform this kind of upgrade on a different server
    5.when we startup upgrade in the new home ,how it identifies the old database in-order to upgrade the old one

    1.can we have new name for the target database,Yes.
    2.I think we need to create tablespaces ,do we need to create users as wellYou can create users, but it is not necessary. You need to pre-create tablespaces only if their characteristics/locations on the target are different than on the source.
    3.If we are upgrading from 9i to 10g database ,any activity to be perfromed other than thisNot that I am aware of - see the steps in the Upgrade Guide - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14238/expimp.htm
    4.How come we get consistent export wetherEnsure the database is started in restricted mode, so users will not be able to access the database during the export.
    >
    In DBUA mode ( in the same machine only)
    1.Do we need shutdown / startup restrict the databaseNo - DBUA will do this automatically for you.
    2.How can we move the files to the new locationYou can after the upgrade move the datafiles to wherever you want - use the ALTER DATABASE RENAME DATAFILE (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_1004.htm#i2082829) command.
    3.Can we change db_name of the databaseI do not believe this is possible with DBUA.
    4.Can we use the old database as wellNo - the database will be upgraded by DBUA - there is no "old" database.
    >
    >
    In manual upgration using catupgrd scripts
    1.Can we rename the db_nameYes.
    2.can we use old database as wellNo - the scripts will upgrade the database - there is no "old" database.
    3.how to move the database files to the new locationSee above.
    4.can we perform this kind of upgrade on a different serverPl elaborate on what you mean by this. You can copy the existing database to a different server (assuming compatible OS) and upgrade it there.

  • Video sound and picture on tv.. question about burning to DVD

    Hi
    I finally got the picture to show up on the TV. I went into video, settings and turned on the TV out setting. Now I wonder if I can burn the itunes shows I bought onto a dvd?
    Will this be a backup copy incase my computer dies or will I be able to watch this on a dvd player too?
    Anyone know if I should put the shows on a dvd and if I can watch them on my dvd player then?
    Thanks

    You can save your iTunes Music Store movies to data DVDs for backup purposes (if you have a supported DVD burner), but these DVDs will not play in a DVD player."

  • Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

     

    Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
    you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.
