How does upgrading to Mt. Lion affect older pages docs?

I made documents with Leopard... then I upgraded to Mt.Lion... now I cannot revise those earlier text documents in pages... I feel like my docs are stone!!!

I had no problems at all opening the file on my iMac running Pages 4.2 in Mountain Lion or my Mac mini running Pages 4.0.4 in Snow Leopard.
How are you trying to open it? From File > Open, double-clicking the file in Finder (what I did) or dragging the file to the Pages icon in the Dock?
Sometimes when updating/upgrading preference files get corrupted. Back in the days of AppleWorks many of us routinely suggested the preference files be deleted & it cured a lot of problems. So, it's an easy thing to try. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file & then restart Pages. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Then restart Pages.

How to upgrade to Mountain Lion from older model?

My computer is running slow. The genius suggested upgrading to Mountain Lion. I am on 10.5.8 so it doesn't seem to allow me to do that. How can I upgrade? Thanks!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
RAM needs to be physically upgraded by you or you can pay someone to do it. RAM is pretty cheap compared to the past, so upgrade to as much as you can afford. Mt Lion will thank you for it. I would go to OtherWorldComputing.com, they have great RAM and guarantee their RAM to work on your Mac.
If the disc you buy for Snow Leopard does not have 10.6.8, here is the updates link;
Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 v1.1 update combo

Frankly, I find the Genius advice a bit incomplete as Mt Lion is a RAM hog compared to Leopard.

How does Index fragmentation and statistics affect the sql query performance
Very simple answer, outdated statistics will lead optimizer to create bad plans which in turn will require more resources and this will impact performance. If index is fragmented ( mainly clustered index,holds true for Non clustred as well) time spent in finding
the value will be more as query would have to search fragmented index to look for data, additional spaces will increase search time.

What's a "doggle?"
It's a box like device on the end of a short USB or Ethernet cable usually designed for copy protection purposes for software.
The original Quark X Press came with one, we used to mess with co-workers by pulling it out slightly so it didn't make contact.
Edit: Ah, looks like the terminology has changed
The term "dongle" was originally used to refer only to software-protection dongles; however, currently "dongle" is often used to refer to any small piece of hardware that plugs into a computer.
Followed by a picture of what appears to be a USB looking thumb type drive, but it's likely not if it's got electronics inside to provide copy protection.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_protection_dongle
Lion of course doesn't come on a dongle, it comes on a USB thumb drive. But the method is to hold the option key down and select it to boot from and then run the installer.
OP should backup all data off the machine first before proceeding with their Lion's dongle. LOL

How does one silence mountain lion startup sound?

How does one silence mountain lion startup sound?

After asking this question many times and always getting the ususal fixes (that don't work in Mountain Lion) Psst, Startninja, turn down the sound when you shut down, yada yada yada. And the "why don't you just put it to sleep" comments :/ duh.. Sometime we want to shut it down!! Even Apple support has no idea how to do it. Here's is the fix and it is so simple it hurts.
Controlling the volume of the startup chime is easy to set in the System Preferences Sound panel, but you need to make two different settings if you have external speakers connected to your Mac. There is no need to use scripts or any other coding to make this adjustment.
There are both internal and external speaker output settings in the sound preference pane. In order to adjust (or turn off) the volume of your Mac's internal speakers, nothing must be plugged into the headphone jack. Keep in mind that this setting completely controls the volume of your internal Mac speakers, so if you mute the sound, and have no external speakers, you will get no sound at all from your Mac.
To adjust the volume on your Mac's internal speakers:
Unplug speakers or headphones from the headphone jack.
Go to System Prefs > Sound, then click on the Output tab.
You will then see Internal Speakers (Type built-in) highlighted in the window.
Adjust the output volume (which also controls the chime volume) in the slider at the bottom of the window. Remember if you mute it there will be no internal speaker sound.
To set the volume for your external speakers:
Plug in speakers or headphones to the headphone jack.
Go to System Prefs > Sound >, then click on the Output tab.
You will then see Headphones (Type built-in) highlighted in the window.
Adjust the output volume (which controls the chime volume in the external speakers) with the slider at the bottom of the window. Remember if you mute it there will be no external speaker sound.

I need to install iWork 9 on my new mac that has Pages 5.2 that will not open my older Pages docs. How do I ensure that the 9 will open them instead of the 5.2

I need to install iWork 9 on my new iMac that currently has Pages 5.2 which will not open my older Pages docs. I do not want the 5.2 to interfere with the opening of my docs in the 9. How do I ensure this without removing the 5.2 (that might improve with age)? If I rename the 5.2 for now, will that work? Thank you for any assistance.

Just install iWork '09 and make sure you update it to the latest v4.3:

You can run both Pages '09 and Pages 5.2 but will need to right click on your files to open them with the right version, because all Pages files have the same file extension: .pages.

How to upgrade xserve to lion

I have an Xserve running Server 10.6.8
In line with company requirements, i have been tasked to upgrade this to Lion Server.
I went into app store on the server and went to purchase the server but it told me that i needed to purchase the lion client and upped the price. I went with it and downloaded.
Now im trying to run the os x lion server download but it fails with the error
You can't use this version of the application server with this version of OS X. You have mac os x 10.6.8. the application requires 10.7
This has left me a bit confused so a nudge in the right direction is much appreciated. If i have downloaded the upgrade to Lion Server then it stands to reason that i would be on the latest version of server release to be able to perform the upgrade yes? Which means that i have to be on 10.6.8 to get to 10.7
So the error is stating the obvious to me, but not really helping me in as much. I have started to look all over and am still not getting a confident answer.
Are there any clear instructions out there as to how to upgrade a server from 10.6.8 to 10.7. Im kinfd of reading out there that the client has to be installed first then the server. Is this right? I have the client downloaded, but not wanting to install a client OS when it is a server OS that im trying to get upgraded.
Any help wouldbe appreciated. Thanks all

First, take a backup of your server. Then take a second one.
Then make sure you really need/want to upgrade your server to Lion - a lot of things have changed in Lion Server and you need to make sure it still fits your needs. While most of the underlying server applications are still there, the GUI admin tools have been stripped bare, so if you're used to using Server Admin to manage your server you might be disappointed.
Once you get past that your process is actually to upgrade from Snow Leopard Server to Lion, then to Lion Server. You can't miss that intermediate step, which is what it sounds like you're doing.
The addition of the Lion -> Lion Server upgrade restores the server-side functionality, but you'll need to do some extensive testing post-upgrade to make sure the appropriate services are running as you like/expect.
Also, if you're not familiar with managing your server via the command line you should start learning that process now. Many of the GUI options have been removed (especially from the Mail and Web services) and the only way to manage them now are through the command line. The time to learn the command line is now - before you absolutely need to tweak a broken configuration on a live server.
For reference, the Apple Upgrading and Migration Guide covers the upgrade process, including gotchas about which services are no longer supported by default

How to upgrade MB Pro Lion to Yosemite

Looking for some "how to" advice on upgrading software from(Late Year 2011) 15" Mac Book Pro Lion 10.7.5 to newer Yosemite OS X. I'd also like to remove all old non-working Power PC Apps and any other junk, bugs or viruses it might have. Looking forward to anyones opinions or recommendations on these upgrades. Thanks H.

First check and see if your machine is in the recall pool:
Apple Recall:"
https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
It will help us to know how much RAM is installed. I would say you'd need at least 8 GB to be effective.
I personally have avoided Yosemite, read a lot of posts here and on the Yosemite site. I'm still running Mavericks and Lion.
You might also consider upgrading your HD to an SSD:
https://www.macsales.com/
Is the vendor of choice for me.
If you're set on Yosemite the site is here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
Make a working clone of your current OS before you do anything.
You might do a clean install of Lion and migrate just the applications you want.
"any other junk, bugs or viruses it might have."
If you don't feel it's running up to spec check out the serial number on the recall site.

HT4623 How do upgrade my iOS on an older iPad?

How do I upgrade an older iPad so I can get the directtv app?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 7.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5 or Later

How to install iOS 6
http://www.macworld.com/article/2010061/hands-on-with-ios-6-installation.html
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
How to Upgrade to iOS 7
The iOS 7.0 update requires around 2.5 GB of storage space, so if your iPad is almost full, you may need to clear up some space. You can check your available space in Settings -> General -> Usage.
There are two ways to upgrade to iOS 7: You can use your Wi-Fi connection, or you can connect your iPad to your PC and update through iTunes. We'll go over each method.
To upgrade using Wi-Fi:
Note: If your iPad's battery is under 50%, you will want to plug it into your charger while performing the update.
    1.    Go into the iPad's Settings.
    2.    Locate and tap "General" from the menu on the left.
    3.    The second option from the top is "Software Update". Tap this to move into the update settings.
    4.    Tap "Download and Install". This will start the upgrade, which will take several minutes and will reboot your iPad during the process. If the Download and Install button is grayed out, trying clearing up some space. The space required by the update is mostly temporary, so you should gain most of it back after iOS 7 is installed.
    5.    Once the update is installed, you may have to run through the initial steps of setting up your iPad again. This is to account for new features and settings.
To upgrade using iTunes:
First, connect your iPad to your PC or Mac using the cable provided when you purchased your device. This will allow iTunes to communicate with your iPad.
You will also need the latest version of iTunes. Don't worry, you will be prompted to download the latest version when you launch iTunes. Once it installs, you may be asked to setup iCloud by logging into your iTunes account. If you have a Mac, you may be prompted on whether or not you want to enable the Find my Mac feature.
Now you are ready to begin the process:
    1.    If you upgraded iTunes earlier, go ahead and launch it. (For many, it will launch automatically when you plug in your iPad.)
    2.    Once iTunes is launched, it should automatically detect that a new version of the operating system exists and prompt you to upgrade to it. Choose Cancel. Before updating, you will want to manually sync your iPad to make sure everything is up to date.
    3.    After canceling the dialog box, iTunes should automatically sync with your iPad.
    4.    If iTunes doesn't automatically sync, you can manually do it by selecting your iPad within iTunes, clicking on the File menu and choosing Sync iPad from the list.
    5.    After your iPad has been synced to iTunes, select your iPad within iTunes. You can find it on the left side menu under Devices.
    6.    From the iPad screen, click on the Update button.
    7.    After verifying that you want to update your iPad, the process will begin. It takes a few minutes to update the operating system during which time your iPad may reboot a few times.
    8.    After updating, you may be asked a few questions when your device finally boots back up. This is to account for new settings and features.
 Cheers, Tom

How does upgrade for aperture work if use the trial to download?

I have a new macbook pro. I have installed my Aperture 2.X on it. Can I download the trial and when I purchase get the "upgrade" price? If so, how does that work. Do I type in my 2.x serial number at some point?
Or, if I purchase the Aperture disk, how does the upgrade work then?

In either case, with AP 2.x installed, the AP 3 upgrade installer should see that and only require entry of the upgrade serial number.
If doing a clean install with AP 2 not installed, you enter the AP 3 upgrade serial number and will get a second serial number field pop-up asking for a full version serial number (you would enter the AP 2 serial number at this point).
Assuming nothing is amiss with your system, that should do it.

Convert older Pages docs to current Pages?

I have older Pages documents on my Mac and when I try to open them, it says "Too old. Save with Pages '09 and try again."
Well, I don't have Pages '09, just the one that came with this MacBook Air (version 5.2)...
Is there any way to upgrade the old Pages docs so they will work with the current version?
Thanks,
Glyn

Since I didn't have Pages 08 on this computer, that did not work. But I did go and download a Trial Version of iWork/Pages here: http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Business/Apple-iWork-06.shtml which was good for 30 days. Opened the Docs, saved them in 09 format and now my up to date Pages can open them.
