Help with re-install of SL after upgrade

I installed SL upgrade over Leopard. Since then, I've had a lot of application crashes. From what I've read, it sounds like those who do a clean install don't have the crashes I'm experiencing. I want to now do a clean install.
Question: If I do a full Time Machine backup, then do an Erase and Install... can I then restore the Time Machine backup w/o overwriting the clean SL install?
Anything specific I need to know/set?
(I've not used TM before and can't quite find my answer)
Thanks!

If you don't currently us TM then you can make a backup of what you do have using the Restore option of Disk Utility:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. 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.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the backup drive.
Source means the startup drive.
Now boot from the SL DVD and after the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menubar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your current startup volume from the left sidebar, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window then click on the Erase button. After the erasing is completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the SL installation.
After the installation has completed and you restart the computer connect your backup drive. Open Migration Assistant from the Utilities folder. You can use Migration Assistant to migrate your Home folder and third-party application, preferences, and support files from your backup drive.

Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

Hi
I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
Thanks Portozzygirl

More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

Tips and help with re-installing Lion over Snow Leopard

I had MAJOR issues with my initial Lion install on my Mid-2009 MBP- so much so, that I had to wipe my hard drive and re-install Snow Leopard and all my applications. My major issues were as follows:
1. All my files were locked out- I could open them in most cases, but I couldn't overwrite them- Lion had aded some funky permissions scheme that I didn't recognize, and my user name wasn't present on any of them. In some cases, I couldn't even open files, even though they were resident on my hard drive (and in my own user folder) before the upgrade to Lion.
2. Apple's own Universal Binary apps wouldn't work after the upgrade. Final Cut Pro 6, in particular, came up with a message that it was a "PowerPC" app and wouldn't run- yet Shake 4.1 would run just fine!
3. Adobe Creative Suite 3- after the upgrade, my Abode Ceative Suite 3 apps worked just fine, for about a day- that is, until I tried to correct the file permissions issue by changing permission on a few of my folders in my User folder (and electing to change permissions in the files contained therein)- at which point my Adobe apps told me that they were damaged and needed to be reinstalled. Yet after uninstaling and reinstalling the entire Creative Suite 3 times, I still would get the same message.
My entire workflow is Adobe CS and FCS2- why chould I have to pay the upgrade costs just to use Lion? FCPX is completely brkoen for my workflow and eqipment, and Adobe can't even guarantee that CS5 works with Lion- so why does Apple insist on Lion when it's hardly even compatible with its own products?
I really want to use Lion, but I am looking for some tips on instalation to kep these problems from happening again. I didn' have ANY of these problems with upgrading OS 10.2 through 10.6. Any help with prepping my system/files for upgrading would be helpful. Thanks!

Me, I think clone backups are more useful, and only use T.M. as secondary.
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
I'd assume that professional apps may need to be tested still; and of course check to see what you have that depends on PowerPC code and Rosetta first. That has some in a tither.
A clone lets you still be able to boot Snow Leopard. Check out Carbon Copy, SuperDuper.

I need help with re installing my apple account for itunes.

Had problems with my itune account, so I uninstalled and now need help with re-installing the program with the songs I have already purchased.

Your iTunes account is something at the iTunes Store online. It is not possible to uninstall it. Do you mean the iTunes application? Even if you delete the application and restore it, it should not have deleted your iTunes library (essentially the contents of the iTunes folder in Music) on your computer unless you did a separate steep and specifically deleted that too. You need to tell us what it was you deleted.

IPhone 5s no longer works with my JVC car stereo after upgrading

Hello!
I updated my iPhone 5s to ios8 last Wednesday (the 17th). When I drive, I synch my phone to my car stereo system (a JVC unit -- I can't recall the model number but it was installed just a year ago). After the upgrade, it worked fine. But on Sunday morning the phone experienced a hard crash and I had to reboot it by pressing the home and sleep buttons together. The phone came back without any further incident.
When I tried to make a call later that night I found that instead of my phone being active on my phone it tried to play music instead. I couldn't figure out how to stop this, so I turned off Blue Tooth. And now, when I try using the phone the Blue Tooth seems to synch up, but the phone cannot dial out -- I get a "called failed" message on the car stereo screen. If I look at the phone, I see that the phone has been activated, but it isn't dialing out. And then the phone will make bogus calls to an unrecognized number, or to a non-number. It will do this every 30 seconds or so. If I dial the phone manually, the Blue Tooth seems to work and I can talk to people hands free as usual. But when the call ends (and I don't always have a "call end" button showing on the JVC screen) the phone will again attempt to dial a bogus phone number.
The only thing that has changed is I upgraded my iPhone to ios8. Are there known issues around Blue Tooth connectivity? I also reset my phone to factory specs and reinstalled ios8 from my PC via the Lightning cable. This didn't change anything (I did that on Sunday evening). The Apple trouble shooting pages are of no help with this (I've already looked at them). I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me -- I think I've tried everything I know to do.
Thanks!

I upgraded to ios 8.0.2 and it still won't work. The phone will synch to the JVC blue tooth, but will not dial out. The phone is activated and it has the screen that indicates it is dialing but it isn't. And then the blue connection drops and won't reconnect.

HELP : T500, External LCD monitor problems, after upgrading GMA4500MHD display driver!

I have upgraded my display driver for GMA 4500MHD from version 7.15.10 to version 8.15.10.1968 (Vista 32bit).
After the installation and rebooting of the T500, my brand new Samsung SyncMaster2233BW cannot show correct display image.
Only image I can see is white screen with few blue shapes. I'm using VGA output for connection. I have tested the monitor by connecting to my other laptop (Dell D620) and everything works fine.
Can somebody help with this strange problem? How can I make my external monitor work again with
T500? Is it possible to find and download display driver version 7.15.10.xxxx somewhere and revert back?
T500 configuration: 15", 3GBRAM, 320GB HDD, Vista 32bit (Home Premium, SP2)
HELP, HELP, HELP

Hi sehu,
Can't you just ask Windows to roll back to previous installed driver? Additionally, have you tried going back to the point where previous version of driver was installed through Windows System restore?
Also check in c:\swtools\drivers\video folder to see whether or not the desired driver resides there.
Hope it helps.

Problems with Apple Address Book Sync after upgrading BBDesktop s/w. Also, no more Rogers support - abandoned customer

I just upgraded my BB Desktop Software but now have a sync error - details show that over 800 entries need to be synced.
When I look at 'details', the 'before' shows a phone number field called "Main Fax" the 'after' shows a phone number field called "Other", with the same phone number targeted.
There are a handful of other syncs such as address blank in 'before' and completed in 'after. I found these by just scrolling down the list with my down arrow and scanning the 'before' entries as they flew by.
There seems to be no way for me to manually choose which of the 'before' and 'after' I'd like to have.
Worst of all, I called Rogers for sync support, as I have done for years. Guess what? They've stopped supporting anything but their actual network connections, but didn't bother to tell their customers. There I was in a 'user down' situation, late for an appointment (missed it totally thanks to this), and they were telling me the most they can do is send an e-mail. or have me *pay* for the support that used to be free, selling me a 'premium support' package. Yikes!
So I clicked 'sync later' on the address book, and am looking for help before I try another sync tomorrow.
For example, ideas to help me manually over-ride the data field mapping from 'Main Fax' to 'Fax' in Blackberry Desktop Software.
Anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated!
I live in Canada, by the way, so if you are a Rogers customer in Canada, take note of their change in support.
Thank God I did a backup before I upgraded my Blackberry Desktop Software.

Macbook Pro

Looks like the problem was that the update was officially already installed. I found that running the Windows Update troubleshooter fixed it, but since the help didn't seem to have the troubleshooter as easily attached as it has been in the past, I used

Problems with dolby advanced audio driver after upgrade on X230

Hello,
After I downloaded manually realtek audio driver version 6.0.1.6647 and upgraded it on my X230 I get following error:
actual version 7.2.8000.13 of dolby-audiodriver is installed, but the software need driver-version 7.2.7000.7. Please install a correct combination of software and driver.
I found in the net that other users got a similar error on Thinkpad E530 and a conexant driver. There it helped to de-install the driver, no reboot and run the thinkvantage upgrade tool, which repaired the problem automaticly.
I tried it in the same way, but after I de-installed the driver, the upgrade-tool didn't found any upgrade. And I have no conexant driver.
What can I do to fix this error?
Thanks for Help
Martin

X230 does uses different driver with E530. Please refer followig link for driver.

Problem with scanning in Photoshop CS6 after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to latest version of Mountain Lion i've got a problem with scanning directly into Photoshop CS6.
on the previous Lion version when I wanted to scan something, i just opened Photoshop -> File -> Import -> images from device
then a new window opened up the ImageCapture app where I could choose the device I wanted to use, and then I selected the scanner (Canon CanoScan 8400F) and I could scan directly into photoshop.
Now with Mountain Lion when I do the exact same thing, it opens a window, but it's impossible to select any device, as the new window is just a plain white window, with 2 buttons on top to rotate something that isn't there. (text is in dutch, cause I'm from the Netherlands)
hope someone can help me out.
I can scan with the use of the ImageCapture app without problems and then save that picture and open it in Photoshop, but it has worked before, so am I doing something wrong? or is this just a little bug
thnx in advance for the help

I’m having the same problem with my Epson Perfection 3200 Photo scanner and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It does the initial overview scan then I get the same blank window as BigNoud shows above. I've done a Software Update and have also updated OSX to 10.8.1.
I know for the Epson you can get a Mountain Lion compatible scan software from SilverFast for about $35.00 as an upgrade here.
I haven't gone that route yet as I don't want to give up any more money for my Apple/Adobe experience.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this?

If you have this product,

you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.
