Help...will the transition be easy?

I am currently running 10.3.9 and want to make the move to Tiger! I am sure the main part of my system will not be a problem, but want to make sure the programs I use will work as well as some of the externals. Is there a list of problem areas when making the move to Tiger? I will make a list of my hardware and software below and if anyone knows of a problem with anything I have listed…would you please post.
Dual 250Ghz Mac 4.5 gig ram
Geforce 6800 ultra
Dual 30” cinema displays
Internal Pioneer DVD-RW

I know there is a lot listed and most likely I can go to each manufacturers web site to find out, but like I have ran into before…sometimes they don’t tell you all you need to know. I know several people that have not made the switch from 9 to X, because of printer problems. I think most of those issues have been worked out and can’t see waiting that long on a change. I feel I have waited long enough to make the change to Tiger and hope that all the bugs have been worked out…at least from the stuff I use! My system works fine the way it is and if there are any issues with the hardware or software I run…I will not make the change. Also if there are any upgrades needed of the programs I have listed, that are required to make the program run in Tiger…that would be helpful to know!
Thanks,
Mark

.can I add a partition to my internal hard
drive even though it has an OS on it?
Normally to partition a drive you have to erase it.
I would try to
just use one of my other hard drives, but I don't
think the Mac OS software will let you install on an
external hard drive!
I don't think there is any problem installing on an external firewire drive.

  • Please help:  Will the 16gb Pad be ok for my use.

    Good Morning.
    We have a main PC at home, but because my husband downloads such a lot, it is sluggish and even my daughter's old Dell laptop runs faster! It frustrates me because I am such a "tidy" person on the PC and even my mobile. I delete e mails, messages, photo's are edited and uploaded then deleted mainly.
    This Pad would be used solely by ME (grin). I am sometimes bed bound because I have a severe back problem and have been using my husband's I Touch to e mail and connect to facebook and even watch I Player. However, I find it very frustrating to browse through web pages, as I'm all over the place.
    I would be using this PAD mainly for web browsing, e mail, editing photo's on Picassa and uploading to the site, then will delete from the PAD (apart from the odd good one). I will want to watch I Player etc and You Tube, but probably not a movie as my medication is too strong to keep me awake for that long.
    Would 16gb be ok? Thank you!

    It depends on how you like to do things. I have the 16G and that's perfectly fine for me, since I don't need to keep all my audio and video files on it--I don't at all mind syncing over what I expect to need.
    If you want to have access to everything all the time without syncing, then get a larger size.
    I didn't expect to want to watch movies on the ipad, either, but it's become my preferred medium for those. Still, I don't mind only having a few on there at a time.

    I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

  • I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

    I setup a separate itunes account for my iphone. I put my ipod music onto it. The music will not sync to my iphone. It tells that all info will be lost if I do it. HELP! The music is showing in the library.

    you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere.  Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

  • When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated!

    When I copy a CD onto my macbook pro I sometimes get several songs that are "out" of the album.  How do I get them all together in one album?  Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot seem to find the solution to this problem in the troubleshooting section of iTunes.

    Generally all you need do is give tracks from the same album a common Album Artist. See Grouping tracks into albums. The images need an update but the basic info. still holds.

  • HT1981 I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

    I will use my 110V MacBook in the Philippines which has 220V sockets. Will the World Travel Adapter Kit help me?

    Assuming you're in North America now, you probably won't need any sort of plug adaptor there; most sockets in the Philippines are the same as those in North America. In case you do, it doesn't contain the correct adaptor.
    Voltage conversion is handled by the MacBook without any additional components.

  • With the new version of ITune, I do not know how to add a podcast to a playlist.  The "add to playlist" which was easily found on older versions is not available.  Your help will be appreciated.

    I have difficulties with the new version of ITune, which I never experienced in the older versions.
    1.  I do not know how to transfer a new radio podcast to a playlist.  The previous option "show in playlist" does not appear.
    2.  I do not know how to download an older podcast from the list of available ones offered for download.  The latest one only is downloading, none other, not even the most recent but one.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated in these difficulties.
    I thank you in anticipation.

  • I have mistakenly deleted a mail folder which I had created. Can't remember if it was located to 'iCloud' or 'On My Mac'. How can I retrieve the emails contained in this deleted folder? Your help will be immensely appreciated!

    I have mistakenly deleted a mail folder in which I had created. I can't remember if it was located to 'iCloud' or 'On My Mac'. How can I retrieve the emails contained in this deleted folder? Your help will be immensely appreciated!

    Yeah not a problem. It does seem though that if you did not have a Time Machine backup then you may not be able to recover the deleted folder :/ But for future reference to prevent any of this, a Time Machine backup is a great investment.
    What it does is create an entire backup of your computer anything from personal information down to the screen saver.
    What you first need is a new external hard drive (I would recommend a 1TB or higher just to prevent running out of space soon).
    after that, just plug in the drive to your computer.
    once it is plugged in, in the top right hand corner, close to the wi-fi symbol, you should see a symbol that looks like a clock with a backwards arrow around it.
    click on that and select "open time machine preferences"
    just turn the button to the "on" position, and select the backup drive and Time Machine does the rest
    very great tool

  • When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

    I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
    Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
    My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
    The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time  Please Help.G
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Yes, you're safe to continue.  That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed.  That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin.  Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
    Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
    Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.

  • If I have logged into my Mailbox, will the Crash Reporter send details which will help provide access to my Mailbox, to others?

    My Firefox (3.6.23) is crashing frequently. The question is, if I'm in the middle of a logged in page, like Mailbox etc, and if Firefox crashes and a Crash Report gets generated, will the Crash Report contain enough URL details for anyone to enter my secure contents, like Mailbox etc?

    Problem solved!
    I started to suspect that the problem was with my computer rather than the apple servers.
    Reparing disc permissions from Disc Utility seemed like an obvious thing to try but I thought I had done this without it working. However on OSX daily  I read..."In mac OSX Lion repairing permissions from the Disk Utility app doesn’t repair the users file permissions"! Hmm nice one Apple- reparing permissions does not repair permissions! It seems that you have to use disc utility from recovery mode.
    I then followed these instructions on OSX daily (dot com)
    Repairing a Mac Boot Disk with Disk Utility & OS X Lion
    Reboot the Mac and hold down Command+R  (To boot into recovery)
    Select “Recovery HD” at the boot menu
    At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select “Disk Utility”
    Select the boot volume or partition from the left menu and click on the “Repair” tab
    Repair Disk is now possible, click on “Repair Disk” to repair the boot volume
    Now verify disk permissions and repair them
    This solved the problem for me
    Hope it helps......
    Am I allowed to award myself a greenie? Well I'm going to anyway because it was a pile of work getting to the bottom of this and I hope it helps others.
