Getting alerts my browser needs upgrade. I must upgrade ios to get updated browser. What are the downsides to upgrading ios?

I have a snow leapord ios which allows safari 5.1 as the "latest" browser. Many of the sites I visit are asking me to upgrade the browser. Looking into this I found that I need to upgrade the operating system first and I want to be sure that I can do that without losing anything that is currently on my desktop. What should I expect when doing a ios upgrade, and will that include the safari upgrade as well or is it a separate task. Thanks

Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
Upgrading the OS will upgrade Safari. Alternatively, you can switch to a product such as Firefox and stay on Snow Leopard.

  • Upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.7. What are the steps and do I also need to pay for 10.5 and 10.6 along the way?

    Hi. I wannt to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.7.
    What are the steps and do I also need to pay for 10.5 and 10.6 along the way?
    According to the 10.7 lion page on 'store' it says that you need 10.6 to use it does this mean I'm going to have to do 3 upgrades?
    Thanks

    Why do yoy want Lion/10.7???
    Anyway, if your Mac meets the requirements you can skip 10.5.x, and even 10.6.x if you can afford to erase all your data.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory[14]
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading[14]
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

    Acrobat is a program used by a wide variety of users for a even wider number of purposes. So if we simply gave you a feature list, that wouldn't be very helpful.
    Tell us how you use Acrobat, and what you do with it, and we can suggest improvements that were made in Acrobat X and XI Pro.

    Even that limited list in the Apple support article is incorrect. It says any of those can AirDrop with "a Mac with OS X Yosemite". That is wrong. You are the one that is correct about the Mac support, not Apple.

  • What are the benefits of upgrading to 5.0.0.591?

    I now have version 4.7.1.61 on my Verizon Tour and I've been really pleased with it.  It works well, it's been stable and I'm happy with the way my Tour works with this version of the operating system.
    When I got the alert from Verizon about version 5.0.0.591, I was very tempted to do an immediate upgrade -- since my experience with 4.7.1.61 has been so positive, I assumed it would be the same with the upgrade.   However, I decided to wait a bit to get input from others about their experiences with the upgrade.
    This forum is full of complaints from people who are unhappy with the upgrade for various reasons.  And, because of that, I haven't yet upgraded myself.
    My question is just this:  Is there any reason to upgrade?  Or to put it another way -- are there people out there who are really pleased with this upgrade and the way it's working on their Tours?  If so, I'd love to hear from them. 
    For me, given that I'm happy with the way my Tour is working now, I can't see why I should upgrade.  I don't want to have to relearn functions that have now become second-hand to me -- like the standby/locking feature -- and I don't want to take the risk that something will go wrong as a result of the upgrade.
    But maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's a reason why I should upgrade.  If so, I'd like to hear it.

    If your 9630 is working well, it's doing everything you need it to do, and you are pleased, there is absolutely no reason to upgrade. i wouldn't encourage it.
    There's no change log for the OS upgrade, but there are a few features which may or may not benefit you, like some easier ability to change what email accounts flow to your main messages icon, and other stuff.
    To find those comments, you just have to read through some threads just like you've already done, but older posts because .591 wasn't the first OS 5 released for the 9630.
    From your post, I'd say there is no reason compelling you to upgrade.

  • What are the benefits of Upgrading Apps 10.7 SC to 11i ??

    I am developing a small presentation for a client who uses Financial Management and Order Management suite under 10.7 SC. I am looking at the benefits that my client would get from upgrading: Here are the few points that I have come up with, AND I WOULD APPRECIATE IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE EITHER CORRECT THEM OR GIVE ME ADDITIONAL POINTS TO INCLUDE:
    1. Oracle withdraws support of 10.7 SC from June 2003
    2. Host of new features and new modules in 11i
    3. Supports electronic business, giving corporate IT an edge with information anytime and anywhere concept.
    4. 11i facilities the use of global database supporting multi currency etc
    5. As compared to fragmented 10.7 system, 11i is completely integrated
    6. 11i is built upon 8i taking advantage of some of the most advanced RDBMS solutions, including fast access and more data integrity
    7. 11i is cheaper to maintain and therefore, gives instant cost reductions
    8. Better GUI in 11i as compared to 10.7 SC
    Thank you for your help and please do not reply to my email address.

  • What are the steps for upgrading os x 10.5.8 to 10.6.7

    I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.5.8 to 10.6.x.  Can I just install over the top of 10.5.8 or do I need to do something beforehand?  Do I just insert the disk and run?
    Much obliged.

    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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and later.) 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 shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then 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 backup or destination volume from the left side list.
    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.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window. 
    Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the startup or 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. 
    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. Download and install update(s) if updating: 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).
    E. To upgrade from an earlier major version:
    Purchase the requisite installer package (Snow Leopard for example.)
    Boot from the installer DVD.
    Choose the install option:
    None required for Snow Leopard.
    Archive and Install for versions prior to Snow Leopard.

  • What are the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion?

    I'm looking for the benifits of upgrading from Lion to Mountain Lion

    You cannot upgrade to Mountain Lion anymore. Mavericks is now the current version. Got to Apple's website to see what the features of Mavericks are, then decide if upgrading is something you should do.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             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?

  • What are the prerequisites for upgrading to CU7

    I've been trying to get a definitive list of prerequisites for the upgrade to Exchange 2013 CU7, but every time I find another site with info it says something different.
    I know I need to have Domain functional level at 2008 SP1 to run the Schema extension, no problem there. However, I found something that tells me I need to have the Exchange servers running .NET Framework 4.5.2 and Windows Management Framework 4.0, but the
    same site then says this is actually needed on the machine used to prepare AD. that means it needs to be one of the domain controllers running these.
    Other sites say these need to be installed but do not say which server(s) need them.
    Can anyone give me the list of prerequisites? The information I managed to find on the Microsoft site mentioned nothing about the domain functional level, I only found this requirement after trying to run the schema extension and getting a report the DFL
    needs to be 2003 native mode or above, I ran a targeted search for DFL requirements and found a table listing this for different versions of Exchange.
    This is frustrating to say the least, makes carrier pigeons seem a viable alternative right now!

    Thanks to everyone who has replied, but the fact 3 different people have replied and given varying replies is what I was talking about.
    Microsoft, in the prerequisites information found at
    https://technet.microsoft.com/library/bb691354(v=exchg.150).aspx say this
    Active Directory preparation
    The computer you want to use to prepare Active Directory for Exchange 2013 has specific prerequisites that must be met.
    Install the following software, in the order shown, on the computer that will be used to prepare Active Directory:
    The version of Microsoft .NET Framework that corresponds to the version of Exchange 2013 you're installing.
    Exchange CU7 and later   .NET Framework 4.5.2
    Exchange CU6 and earlier   .NET Framework 4.5.1
    The version of Windows Management Framework that corresponds to the version of Exchange 2013 you're installing.
    Exchange 2013 SP1 or later   Windows Management Framework 4.0
    Exchange 2013 CU3   Windows Management Framework 3.0
    but from what others say, installing .NET 4.5.2 before installing CU7 will break Exchange services.
    I think I'm just going to try the schema extension without installing anything and see what happens, if I still have my job after this I will let you know
