How I completed a faultless upgrade from 2.2.1 to 3.0 on my 2G Touch

I used a similar approach when performing an upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.1 while other folks were having a lot of issues.
1) Sync your Touch to iTunes 8.2, delete all of your music, video and Apps
2) Use "Reset" to return all settings to their factory defaults
3) Confirm that your Network settings have been reset, resetting them as needed
4) Fully charge the battery on your Touch, then eject and disconnect
5) Close and reopen iTunes, then purchase the 3.0 upgrade
6) Reconnect your Touch and allow it to Sync with iTunes
7) When prompted to upgrade to 3.0 , select download and install later
8) Eject your Touch and allow the 3.0 installation file download to complete
9) Reconnect your Touch and allow it to open and Sync with iTunes
10) Allow upgrade to 3.0 to take place when prompted
11) Wait for upgrade to complete, the Touch will reboot and Sync with iTunes
12) Configure your Wifi and other settings, then manually Sync with iTunes
13) Eject your Touch, close iTunes, then reconnect your Touch
14) Allow your Touch to automatically open and Sync with iTunes
15) Load your music, video and Apps onto your Touch
16) Manually Sync with iTunes once more and then eject
17) Enjoy the new features in 3.0 and don't look back

If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
(However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
Good luck & happy computing!

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

How to completely delete Photoshop Elements from my computer??

Hi
I am trying to completely remove Photoshop Elements from my computer.   So far, I have failed in my attempts to do this.   The reason I'm doing this is b/c for some reason that I can't fathom, the folders in My Pictures -- the folders named by shot date -- contain random duplicates.When this happens, the file names folow the convention of DSC_0222 and DSC_0222-1. Exactly the same file size and metadata. In some folders, every picture is duplicated. In other folders, only selected pitcures within the folder are duplicated.   I can't figure out how they got there -- e.g. it doesn't seem to bear any connection to the photos I've edited, which was one theory I had for a while.   Is Elements responsible? Or is this some sort of bug in the download process from the camera (I have a Nikon D40). Anyway, I've given up on trying to sovle this problem and decided I would go back to the beginning and reload everything from my camera.   So, my real question here is about how to completely uninstall Elements.
Here's what I did:    I uninstalled Photoshop Elements through the Add/remove programs utility. I got no errors during the uninstall process.   Then I completely deleted the My Pictures directory (don't worry -- I have it backed up in multiple places!!).   So, at this point there are *no* pictures on my computer at all.    I reinstall Elements, open it up and -- you guessed it!!! -- the catalog is still there with all the thumbnails of the pictures that i deleted from my hard disk.   Of course, each thumbnail is flagged as "Missing File".
So, how do I uninstall/reinstall Elements and get it to forget all memory of the previous catalog?   Why is it "remembering" it in this way when the pictures aren't even on the computer anymore? Isn't this a bug???
I've been working on this issue for much longer than I care to remember-- if anyone can tell me how to get myself truly back to ground-zero so I can start over I would be deeply grateful.   After upgrading to Elements 9 (from 7) to try to solve this problem I am close to just abandoning Elements entirely.....
WHile we're at it, if anyone has any idea where the duplicates pictures are coming from and how I prevent that from happening, I'm' all ears!!!!
Thanks!

Hi
Thanks so much for the response.   So, Help/System Info says that the catalog is here:
Catalog Location: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\My Catalog\
but no such file appaers to exist. In fact, I can only get as far as All Users.   Then there is no directory under that called "Application Data".
i'm still seeing the thumbnails when I got into Elements tho'....   :-(

How easy is it to upgrade from Panther to Leopard?

I think it is about time I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.5 as I want to update my iLife package and use Final Cut.
However, I have been procrastinating about it - is it easy? I've read some reviews; some say it is easy and some say it is not. I will back up everything but was hoping that I wouldn't have to remove everything and then put it back once the new OS is installed.
I read one review where they upgraded their OS and lost everything even though it shouldn't be affected.
Any ideas or tips please?
thanks

First repair your hard drive:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Next clone your system to another hard drive (external or internal) and test the clone by booting from it.
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.
Verify your system meets the minimum requirements to install Leopard:
System requirements
You must have a Macintosh computer with:
an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
a DVD drive
built-in FireWire
at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
When you move on to the actual installation I suggest doing the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

How to maintain tags when upgrading from PSE 5 to PSE 12?

I'm upgrading from Photoshop Elements version 5 to version 12, as my current version is not working properly. (Possibly corrupted?). It will not allow me to backup my catalog - the software freezes after a period of time during the "Reconnecting Files" stage. I'm reluctant to proceed in fear of losing the thousands of tags I have if the installation process does not go smoothly (since I don't have a backup of my catalog). Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately my situation may be worse than I
originally thought. ALL of my files are showing that they are "Missing" and
need to be "Reconnected," however the software freezes when I try to
reconnect. I still have the photo files under "My Photos" on my hard drive
but if the "Reconnect" is not made before launching Version 12, doesn't
that mean that I will lose all the cataloging/tags made in Photoshop? I
plan to install PSE12 on the same machine. I'm at a loss on how to proceed.
It would be so disappointing to lose hundreds of hours of organization over
a ten year time period on thousands of photos.

How to completely remove a preloader from a published captivate

I recently published my captivate files with a preloader (using one of the pre-installed ones 'Adobe Captivate 5.5\en_GB\Gallery\Preloaders\blue loading.gif').
I now need to remove the preloader completely or go back to the default 'adobe captivate loading' one.
However, when I untick the preload option in publish settings, it still publishes with the preloader.
Please help/advise

Upgrade from 2.0 to 2.1 on 32G 1st Gen Touch - Major Difficulties

I held my breath as I clicked on the update button and watched as Itunes downloaded all 239 MB of the 2.1 upgrade. 30 Seconds into the upgrade the message Unknown Error (13) can not install upgrade appears and the touch goes into Recovery mode and tries to do the upgrade again and fails.
I Grabbed the touch and headed for the laptop, downloaded the 2.1 software and breathed a sigh of relief when the touch went into recovery mode and when it was done I had the 2.1 OS installed, minus all of the music, movies and app's. I had backups of everything so that did not worry me.
Once today the touch disappeard from Itunes and froze the laptop. It gave me a blue screen error claiming Itunes had caused the fault. Probably has something todo with vista.
The real hassle is I can not get any of my mail accounts restored. I had an Imap and Pop3 setup that worked great before the 2.1 install.
I can setup a Gmail account, But the two work emails keeping failing the authentication no matter what i try. I checked with our IT guy and nothings has changed on our exchange server since Monday.
I'm stumped, dazed and confused
David in Miami

I'm determined to figure this out and I am making progress. My Gmail account works fine and I've managed to get incoming mail from our exchange server, via the imap port. The setup had the correct imap port but the server port was blank, once I filed that in, mail started to come into the touch. I think the outgoing server connection doesn't work because the advanced setup screen shows sent mailbox set to "On my Iphone" and It will no allow me to change that.
This all worked perfectly from the day I got the touch last February. Upgrading from 1.1.3 to 1.1.14 to 2.0 had no effect on this setup at all. I guess I was lucky until now

How to transfer photos when upgrading from ver 6 to ver 11 HELP!!

Can someone please HELP. I have version 6 on my computer. I have a new version 11 FULL install on cd. After I install version 11, how do I transfer all of my pictures over from version 6? After that is completed, I assume that I can just uninstall version 6 from my computer? Thanks anyone for the assistance.

Thanks Barbara B for your timely assistance! If I understand you correctly, after I install version 11 (FULL install, not a version update), my Catalog (4659 items in 256 folders) will automatically be imported into the version 11 Organizer. At that point I can uninstall Elements version 6 from my hard drive. That sounds too easy, but do I have it about right? Thank you!

How much is it to upgrade from the student edition

I have the student edition of labview and am trying to turn the program I built to an executable. I am trying to transfer the program to another computer but it needs to be an executable file. I need the software to be able to. What do I buy to upgrade my software just so I can create an executable?

Hello,
To compile your VI into an executable, you will need the Application Builder package for LabVIEW, which can be purchased on its own or as part of the Professional Development System package. If you are a student at university, you may wish to enquire with your school if they already have licenses available for you to use. For the fastest response to your question (and the most accurate cost information), you can call us directly at (888) 280-7645 from the US. If you are in a different country, just look for the Sales contact number on www.ni.com/contact
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know!

HT204088 How do I get my upgrades from purchase history if I paid for it?

I had purchased an app upgrade but when I reset my ipod, it did not transfer. I looked at my purchase history and it showed up. Is there any way I can redownload the app upgrade since I paid for it the first time.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the app store using the purchased option which is revealed by tapping the updates option at the bottom of the screen of the App store app on your iOS device.

How do I clear app upgrades from the screen

The App Store does not clear updated apps since ios7 install. How do I clear the apps that have upgraded?

Good thought.
It still remains a historical list. At this point in time, I am not aware of a possibility of clearing this list. While it may not be the answer you wish to hear, its an answer nonetheless. I hope it was helpful.
