Help!if i don`t update the lion ,is to say i can`t update the mountain lion?right?

      Now, I don`t update the Lion ,but I want to update the Mountain Lion .Is to say I must first to update my mac to Lion,then I can update to Mountain Lion?right??//   please give me a help thanks!

No App Store, no spaces, no Time Machine, etc. etc.
As I said, no technolgical advance, no compelling reason to use it. Time Machine is not at all what Apple once promoted it as, since they dropped it in Lion.
And as far as Lion goes, a few that could not adjust their habits to a few interface changes went back to SL, which is still two OSs ahead of you.
This has nothing to do with people not being able to adjust their habits; it has everything to do with productivity, loss of features, and introduction of a new, confusing set of behaviors.
I don't know where you get your numbers from, I would like to see you back up your claim of 'so many people' as 6 million copies were downloaded in the first week alone
I didn't cite any numbers, so wondering where I got them is pointless. Reciting a claim that over 6 million copies of Lion were downloaded in the first week proves nothing.
Judging by the number of people on the forums who are not at all happy with Lion and asking how to downgrade is evidence of user dissatisfaction. Most people who are dissatisfied will not say anything at all, resigning themselves to being required to use it, thus making them unhappy customers and less likely to purchase another Mac or any other Apple device in the future.
Yet you seem to claim that 10.4.11 is where people should stop?
I didn't say or imply anything of the sort. I said that there's no good reason to upgrade just because it's shiny and new. Mac OS X has become bloated with "features" that have little or no practical value, and are seldom used, while at the same time breaking long-established features for no good reason, and having no replacement in place. At the same time, features that worked perfectly well in 10.4.11 and before were deliberately removed from later versions, without prior notice and never restored, along with bugs being introduced that also have never been fixed.
That's not my definition of progress, and I'd wager millions of others share that viewpoint.

    Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
    If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases.

  • Help! I don't understand the frame mechanics.

    Hi, I've been trying to figure out how frames work in Flash.  I'm new to ActionScript, so I don't know the inner workings of the language.  I tried checking the API but no Frame class is listed.  The closest thing was FrameLabel and that wasn't helpful.  I need to know a few things:
    1) How can I tell what frame I am in?  If there is a class method for this, what is the exact name?
    2) How does a frame advance?  I have some code with no timer, only event listeners/handlers, and I've got a hacked animation working without playing clips on the time line.  The displayed pictures change whenever I press a directional button to move the character.  This is not really what I want to do however, because I'm switching the visibility of many different symbols and updating their position according to the original player symbol.  Very inefficient.  And does that mean that the frame only advances when a button is pressed? Am I even advancing the frame at all?  I don't know any frame advance method.
    3) How do frames work on the time line?  I have all of my symbols on a single frame.  I made their visibility false in my constructor because I don't want some things to show when I first load up the .swf file.  When I created a second frame, everything went crazy and things began to show up.  This suggests that the visibility = false was only done in the first frame?  What caused the frame to change?  I don't really get it.
    Ideally I want to achieve a dynamically modifiable animation because the game actions are not going to be linear.  The player character will be responding to controls (which will change the animation) and the AI will be responding to the player (which will also change the animation).  I don't think I can do this without understanding frames, so please help me.  I'm very confused!  Even pointing me in the right direction as to where I can read about frame details would be cool.  I've tried Adobe tutorials, support, and documentation but it was not sufficient.  Is there any place where there is a very in depth explanation about frames, or would someone be so kind as to tutor me about them?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can find out the current frame by using the currentFrame property. There are a number of ways to change frames, where the most common would be prevFrame(), nextFrame(), play(), gotoAndPlay(), and gotoAndStop().  There are plenty of ways to make use of frames in a Flash file, from having linear animations along the timeline, to have each frame being a distinct zone of operation that contains elements having their own timelines.
    One thing you may need to get a handle on are the different types of frames.  There are plain frames and there are keyframes.  Plain frames genrally involve a continuation of preceding frames, while keyframes mark an area of change.  In your example of things going crazy when you added a second frame, I am guessing you implanted a new keyframe because had you inserted a plain frame the status of your content from frane 1 would not have been impacted.
    I don't know of any resources for you to follow up with for learning more about frames--I came to learn them thru trial and error.  Someone else may come along with some suggestions for reference materials.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • My imported Google calendar has collapsed, and when I try to create a new calendar, thunderbird don't accept the location, copied right from the Google calendar

    One day my Google Calendar in T'bird wasn't able to sync and I couldn't do anything, so I have deleted the calendar and started to try to create a new one (which would be the same as the old). I have followed the steps of description, but when I have tried to copy the XML location of my private calendar (from Google Calendar), the URL has received a red frame and the Next button has been inactive.
    I don't know what the problem is. I have tried the ICalendar, but it wasn't good, I couldn't edit the events, just saw them.
    T'bird 31.2.0, Lightning 3.3.1, Provider for Google Calendar 1.0.1
    Thank in advance

    see http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/lightning-and-caldav.html at the very minimum I think you will need to modify the hidden preference mentioned there

  • Arabic localization changes don't change the left to right Alignment

    Hi all,
    We are using localization for our application and the supported locales (registered in faces-config.xml) are English and Arabic. When the language is changed as per user preferences , the corresponding Arabic values are read from the bundle properties, but the alignment for page and menu is not changed form left-right to right to left automatically.
    Code for locale change is given as :
    FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().setLocale(new Locale(LANGUAGE_AR));
    Also tried the following entry in the trinidad-config.xml
    <right-to-left>
    #{view.locale.language=='ar' ? 'true' : 'false'}
    </right-to-left>
    Please let me know , if I am missing something to achieve the alignment change
    thanks

  • HT4759 I don't meet iCloud requirements, but apple says I can still switch over?

    The email I received from apple today says "don't meet iCloud requirements?  You can still switch over...".
    Yet when I click "move to iCloud now" on my iPhone with ios5, it says I must make the switch from a Mac or pc. 
    So I can't switch over from my iPhone, which DOES meet the requirements?  But not from my laptop, which doesn't?
    I'm thoroughly confused.
    Sent from my iPhone

    You can switch on the computer. You can either use the option to switch at the end of June, or simply lie about meeting the specifications on the computer.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you haven't done so already you need to migrate your mail account to iCloud first and do so IMMEDIATELY at the website Move
    Then
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

  • When I go to update my apps on itunes, it says my account has been disabled. I've done everything I know to do to no avail. I've changed passwords, I've done it all about a hundred times, but I can't get to the bottom of it...HELP Please :)

    Hi,
    I am about to pull my hair out. My itunes account has been disabled............or at least that's what it says everytime I want to update my apps....I can't do it. Then it sends me to a useless web address www.apples.com/itunes/storesupport/forassistance it never helps me. I've changed my password, etc. But I can't get my apps updated or the "Apple" in the sky to fix it...I don't know where to go for customer service....Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I updated the software on my iphone4 tonight and ran into this same endless loop - "itunes terms & conditions have been changed" - go to itunes, aceept - back to the "T&C have been changed message" with no ability to do anything in the app store until I accepted the new terms.
    While not a very direct solution, I was able to finally accept the terms in a way that seem to register with apple by making a purchase through iTunes on my computer. This forced me through updating my payment information and updating my iTunes software to the latest edition (which I had not yet taken the time to do).  After doing both of these, iTunes took me through the terms & conditions on two separate pages, but ultimately allowed me to purchase my song.  Once I completed these steps, it fixed the problem on my phone, so now I can update my apps and download new ones without running into that loop.
    Hope this helps!!!
