how do I upgrade from OS X processor version 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later? Is it worth the upgrade?

I have 5.8 on iMac, but it is not server version, it is a usual OS install. I would say, that the only thing there worth upgrading is adding more memory. You should also keep upgrading Firefox, OpenOffice etc. for comfortable work and avoid memory and resource-hungry or buggy applications (like Safari). I have recently used iMovie to work with video, and I never had problems with image editing there. I can compare to 6.8 on my MacBook - I cannot say there is something I missing on this iMac 5.8 which is present on 6.8.
In general, I am an old mac user, and I had experiences where OS upgrade speed up things, like going from 10.2 to 10.3, but I still recommend to make sure that you will get rid of the bugs while keeping functionality - notoriouse examples are Photoshop 7 that stopped working on new systems, Gimpshop (and underling gimp 2, though some cured it) and even some Finder features.

How do I upgrade from Mac OS X version 10.6.8 to version 10.7.4?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion:
iMac7,1
MacBook5,1
MacBookPro3,1
MacBookAir2,1
Macmini3,1
MacPro3,1
Xserve3,1
If your system's compatible, buy it from the Mac App Store. A computer incapable of running Mountain Lion which has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM can run Lion 10.7, which is available by phoning the online Apple Store and ordering a download code for it.

Not sure why the adobe email bounces, but they probably can't get you anything more than a contact for a reseller anyhow.

How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

How can i Downgrade from iOS 6 beta Firmware to iOS 5.1.1 iPhone 4 A4 . After I've upgraded my machine batteries run out very quickly, so I want to Downgrade, I don't have shsh blobs

There is no reason to be running beta software, I doubt it will even still run as iOS 6 has been officially released. Or were you simply trying to be funny?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Since iPLM failed to help try the following:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when I try to load the Mac Os x update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it?

I have an Intel Desktop iMac and I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when it tries to load the Mac OS X update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website Mac OS X V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it? Any other suggestions. The printer is not working either - I am not sure if they are connected. Everything else is fine.

Please excuse, but I have to ask an obvious question: Did you already update using the Snow Leopard Retail install DVD? (You must do this first; 10.6.7 is just an update if you already have 10.6.) Are you, then, trying to update from whatever version was on the install DVD to 10.6.7?
Otherwise, I'd keep trying. The 10.6.7 Combo is a huge update.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

How to save down from InDesign Creative Cloud version to CS5? Have exported as .idml file but still get messages that plug-ins are missing although CS5 confirms it is fully updated.

Yes. Thanks. I misled myself based on another post. Successfully did this by selecting "File," "Save a copy ..." then choosing "for CS4 or later (IDML)"
It required some patience and several tries, but I think that was due to hardware (memory) being overloaded by CC Cloud version or something. It was a 50 MB, 500-page file and took 17 minutes to convert/save,
Re-capping: from CCloud to CS5, don't use "Export" (to IDML); use "Save as" or "Save a copy" and select "for CS4 or later (IDML)".
Advice much appreciated.

Upgrading from 7.5 to version 8: Web and Email Collaboration problem

Hi All;
To be able to upgrade from 7.5 to version 8.x then the web and email collaboration should be removed and this is the hard thing !
To go through all the web collaboration objects and remove it one after one is something not possible, special when I am trying to remove for example an agent who is belonging to the skill group and it gives us: you do not have a permission !!
So I decided to do a clean at the database level (specially that the problem appears when running EDMT), I need a help to know the following to be able to do this cleaning:
1) Should I do this in the side_A database or on the AWDB?
2) If I removed the Application Instance that is related to the Collaboration, could this resolve the problem to do the upgrade from version 7.5 to 8.x? Or I have to delete all the values related to the Collaboration (for example, the media class, the used skill group and the used agents, ... etc)?
Looking to a help PLZ.
Regards
Bilal

If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

If I upgrade from Firefox 3.6 to firefox 4 Beta on my iMac, will I still have all the same bookmarks, or will I lose them?

You are using Mac OS 10.4. Firefox 4.0 is not compatible with this OS. It supports only Mac OS 10.5 and above. Please see this article: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html Firefox 4 system requirements].

Is the X-FI Music worth the upgrade from an Audigy 2 for a music listen

I play just a few games, but I mostly listen to music. I have alot of music on my system ripped at at least 92kb
ps.
I don't listen to downloaded MP3 very often. I tend to use only a couple of the EAX modes, Rock, Dance, and Heavy Metal the most. I also watch DVDs on my system from time to time, but just on a 2 channel system. I've got a 00watt receiver connected to my computer which powers my NHT .5 bookshelf speakers (nice).
Would the upgrade to the new X-FI Music be worth it's
Thanks,
Jeff

Thought XtremeMusic is yet much better card vs Audigy 2, but with that cost, I would rather get one of these
cards w/o EAX :
E-MU 0404 (~99$)
ESI Juli@(~30$)
ECHO Mia MIDI (~30$)
or
cards w/ EAX :
M-Audio Revolution 5. (~75$) or 7. (~00$)
Audiotrak Prodigy LT (~80$) (or wait for Prodigy XT which is coming out ~3/06)
HDA Digital X-Mystique 7. Gold/ Dolby Digital Li've (~95$)

Essbase Upgrade from 7x to 11x version

Hi All,
I am working on essbase upgrade from 7.1.0 version to 11x version, Just curious if somebody can help me in my basic question
1) I have read many blog suggesting that to upgrade to 7 to 11, we have to follow two step process i.e 7 to 9 and then to 11. Is it true?
2) If i am installation the 11x on completely a new either windows are linux box, can i just the load the data from 7x version cube to 11x cube?

This has been covered many times, if it is a new install then you could use the migration wizard to connect to your existing environment and migrate, you will need to take data separately.
Or you could just create the apps in the version 11 env, export the data and copy the objects from your 7 environment.
Cheers
John
