How I got my 7.2 crossgrade

I called Apple support on wed. I told them that I had just spent $3000 on a new MacPro and could not find the needed crossgrade. After telling me it was unavailable, I raised **** about buying a new computer for 3 G's and not being able to use it etc. etc. He told me he could get a copy for me in about 4 weeks! I said that was unacceptable but went for it anyway, and asked to be xfered to customer service so I could send my complaint up to higher channels. To my surprise the install disk arrived today after only a few days. I hate to be bitchy on the phone with people who are not personally responsible for company policies, but this time I could not help it as I was genuinely annoyed and it paid off.

Hey DSS,
Did you have to pay the $49 upgrade fee?
What shame to have to go through...
Some kind of paid upgrade must be very close.

  • How I got 48.11gb FREE on my MBA SSD.

    Got the MBA today and i am LOVING IT.
    Here's how I got 48gb free -- and my reasoning behind it...
    1. I followed everything in this article -- http://guides.macrumors.com/CompleteSteps_to_Perform_a_Clean_OS_X_Reinstall_on_Your_MacBookAir. I remote installed using my old PBG4's drive. It took about 1.5 hours. The short install time was most likely due to the fact that there was very little to install!
    In the article, for Step #10, *I unchecked everything*.
    For the bundled apps, my reasoning was as follows: I don't need official help documents (200 mb) b/c these are all online... iWeb is worthless... iMovie and iDVD are similarly pointless on a computer w/no DVD drive (and I've never used them once since they came out)... Garageband might be useful to musicians but that I am not... iPhoto -- while nice to have -- has largely served as a conduit to get my pictures up into Picasa. Photo editing and viewing has all gone online these days. I'll most likely need at least the Picasa Uploader in the future, but I'm going to hold off on iPhoto for as long as I can. (However, I'll miss using the trackpad to rotate and zoom in on pics using iPhoto.)
    When and if I ever need these apps, I can remote install them using Disc 1.
    Note: during the install, I didn't need to insert the second disc b/c I unchecked XCode, which I don't need.
    2. As the article suggest, I also manually deleted the voice files in the System folder.
    3. I then bought a license for xSlimmer and dumped all of my apps and utilities into it, freeing up about 700 more mb. I was hesitant to do this so I backed up all of my apps (a feature of the program) to an external hard drive. Obviously, the backup can't stay on the MBA -- I need the space!
    Note: Despite my hesitations on app instability, 90% of what was slimmed came from Mail, iTunes, Address Book, etc, apps that still have 17 useless languages even IF you chose to ditch all languages besides English in Step #10 of the MacRumors article.
    4. I deleted Chess... If I ever need to play it, I'll play online -- w/other people as it was meant to be played!
    *5. That puts me at 48.11gb!*
    6. My philosophy going forward -- and the entire reason I bought the MBA -- is to be as online and web app-dependent as possible. That's where the future lies and part of the reason I bought into the MBA philosophy (while an expensive one) is b/c I believe in this trend. I'm an advocate of an online existence and as such, I'm going to try to live in such a manner.
    Future apps I'll most likely dump -- Mail, which I don't think I've even opened in a year... iCal, which I only keep b/c I sync my Google Calendars to iCal and then to my iPhone... Dictionary, which is inferior to more complete online dictionaries... Stickies, iChat, Time Machine -- again, these are all cutesy apps, but realistically, the first two are now done better online (meebo, gChat, facebook) and for the latter, I don't see the point of being a zealous backup fiend if I have nothing to backup in the first place! (Although, I've done just fine w/SuperDuper the past 2 years.)
    7. For my iTunes library, which is over 200gb, I bought a Western Digital 320gb Passport on eBay for ~ $100 and plan to listen to music w/the external connected while at home.
    While on the go, I'm pretty good w/the 16gb on my iPhone.
    Also, music is now so 2.0 I enjoy discovering and hearing music through services like last.fm and Pandora. (If iTunes were ever to become more of a social network and be more open, they could really have something, but I think Songbird might have already beat them to it...)
    8. Future apps I'll most likely install -- Scrivener, iWork, Camino (a second browser is always nice), VLC, xTorrent.
    9. I also plan and hope to one day upgrade the 64gb to a 128. This AnandTech article -- http://www.anandtech.com/mac/showdoc.aspx?i=3226 -- is the single best review I've read of the MBA. It leads me to believe by the end of the year, upgrading to a 128gb might be possible.
    Sorry for the long post. I just though I'd share some thoughts w/everyone.
    - david

    Thank you!
    I haven't read all of your post yet but from what I have read I believe we are in agreement. I have copied it into my notes on the MacBook Air. When I get $ together and get my MBA I will definitely be going back and studying your post in detail.
    Thanks again!
    PS: you lucky dog!

    If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing.  If so, the internal switch is stuck..  Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch.  If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.

  • How can I install Aperture on my new Macbook Pro. I am up to date with my Mac Pro, I have the Aperture 1 and installation disks but cant remember how I got to 3. Can anyone help?  Many thanks regards Alf

    I have an up to date version of Aperture on my Mac Pro, and I would like to install it on my new Mac book Pro. I have the original installation disks for Aperture 1 and 2. I cant remember how I got to Aperture 3, I think it was via a web download but not sure. I have checked my purchases in the App Store but there is no indication of me buying an upgrade to Aperture 3.
    Ive tried to download it from the App Store but it wants me to pay again.
    Can anyone help on how to install Aperture 3 on my new Macbook .
    Many thanks regards  Alf

    Then you can download the Trial version of Aperture 3 and unlock it with your serial numbers - you will need all three for all three versions: A current link to the Trial version is in this support document, also instructions on how to reinstall on different systems:
    Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
    Regards
    Léonie
    BTW: Your Aperture 3 serial number will be displayed in the "About" panel - the panel you see, when you use the command "About Aperture" from the Aperture menu in the main menu bar.

  • How I got the .4181 OS finally installed and running stable

    Hi folks,
    after a very long night shift, I am "proud" to announce that my Z10 is now running stable in 4181 without any missing functionalities. (even phone calls seem to work properly :-) )
    Interested in how I got there, then just read on:
    IMPORTANT:
    If not already done, BACKUP ALL DATA on Your Z10 device, You´ll surely need this Backup! :-)
    After the everlasting security wipe, which I tried to interrupt several times, by pulling the battery (and the SIM) out, it finally stopped and showed me the connect to PC icon on the screen of the Z10. 
    So I connected my Z10 and restored the factory FW using the BlackBerry Link Software, WITHOUT having the SIM inserted.
    After the first initial setup, I looked for SW Updates, but (and of course) none was presented, due to the missing SIM, so I continued to do some basic setups and "testing" the bare system. All went fine.
    After that, I reinserted my SIM, powered the Z10 up and tried to copy the previous backup back onto the Z10, which was (another of course and obviously) not possible, due to mismatching SW-Releases.
    So with the SIM inserted, connected to a WiFi and my mobile carrier, I once again checked for updates and voila, .4181 was available, this time having 359MB.
    (--> BlackBerry just seems to provide the "basic emergency" OS, all further updates and releases are distributed through Your individual mobile carrier)
    I initiated that download, went to bed to get at least a few hours of sleep and when I woke up, I did, what the display on the Z10 wanted: Restart the device.
    The then following boot sequence was fast and smooth, reaching the 100% in just under two minutes, no freeze, no hangers, no being stuck.
    There I had my bare device on which I could copy my previously carried out backup again in no time!
    Of course I had to reenter the some passwords and the SMS were gone, but looking at the last days, I think this is the biggest progress of it all ;-))
    THIS is how I did it. Of course I know that I defied against some of the most important rules and therefore I can and will not give You any guarantees that this "solution" will work  unlimited, but considering my high level of frustration and how angry I was, these measures seemed legit to me and I can tell, they just worked fine! ;-)
    the steps in summary:
    - Backup all Data
    - do a Security Swipe
    - extract SIM
    - reset to factory presets using BlackBerry Link
    - re insert SIM
    - look for provider updates
    - install
    - copy previous backup to device
    - don´t worry
    - be happy
    PS: Don´t panic, if it takes longer or if nothing seems to happen. What I burnt mostly the last days, where minutes, hours and days
    Thumbs up and fingers crossed. I hope this might help You aswell!
    If it does, feel free to like this "solution" :-)
    Paddy

    Sorry for not being detailed enough.
    I have Vista: Ultimate 32 bit edition. Everything works the stereo the 5. surround sound but the main things I did notice is that alot of the options like the crystalizer and various options wouldn't save. They would definately work just when I went into creative console to adjust some more they all went back to the default settings even though they worked and were changed earlier.
    Whilst playing Call of Duty 2 it wouldn't use the EAX, I haven't tried other games . I would recommend staying with XP as of right now if you have uninstalled Vista and wait for proper drivers , there is no guarantee the way I installed or explained how to fix will work for you. Just as others before have gotten things to work with different steps to install they did not work for you, so mine not work for you. If you still have Vista installed then why not give my simple step a shot in my first post.

    i dont know how i got my photos to my ipod touch from my pc and now i wanna delete them but couldn't. so need help. please let me know.

    To turn off auto sync - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPod, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically. Click OK and then quit iTunes.
    Connect your iDevice to your PC.
    Launch iTunes,
    Click on the device name on the left side of the iTunes Window.
    Click on the Photos Tab in the iTunes window on the right.
    Untick all of the photos or albums that you want to remove.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you untick or uncheck the Sync Photos heading and then click Apply it will remove all of the photos from the device when it syncs. In this screenshot - I have only certain albums and events selected to sync.

  • How I got my MicroPhoto to det

    After hours of trying different things I finally got it to detect my MicroPhoto. I figure I might as well post how I got it to work.
    . Uninstall everything
    2. Reinstall + update to 3.30.2 ( Can be found at Creative support )
    3. Reboot
    4. Run windows update ( even though I was fully updated after CMS was installed it found some more)
    5. Reboot
    6. Changed my USB settings* ( http://tinylinks.net/4935 ) Cant put long links in it seems. This tinylink should take you to the right site. If not please read the info after *.
    7. Reboot
    Im not sure if you need to do all these steps but its how I got mine to work.
    Good luck
    * For some reason I can put long links. So if the tiny link doesnt work. Go to support>knowledge>mp3 and use " regedit" for teh key word and look for "MP3 player not detected in Windows Media Player 0 or Creative Media Explorer" And follow the dir there.

    hi one guy stolen my iphone, and now i need my pictures which i have in my icloud i open my Apple id in icloud but i downlode just 20 pic how i got my all picturs in my pc?

    Update:  I reset my phone again and this time I restored it from my last iCloud backup.  That "sort of" worked.  (The missing info was on my phone temporarily, but it's still missing from iCloud.com and as the phone syncs with the cloud the missing contacts are disappearing.) 
    This is good news, but I'm losing progress.  How can I restore my iCloud settings to that last backup?

  • I find dotted circles in my text.  I don't know how they got there or what they're for.

    I find dotted circles in my text.  I don't know how they got there or what they're for.  These dotted "o" characters print out, too.

    Thanks for taking the time to suggest the screen shot.  Actually, I neglected to say that I was working in a Thai font and, after posting my question, it dawned on me that I should check the keyboard template again.  Well, in Thai, vowel and accent symbols show on the template with the dotted zeroes below as place setters, They don't show IF one doesn't make a typing error, which is what I did.  Sorry for the false alarm, and thanks, again.

  • "Open In Tabs." How it got there and how to get rid of it?

    I've searched the forums and tried all I can think of but cannot figure out:
    1) How an "Open in Tabs" item got in my Bookmarks Menu -
    When I go to Main Menu>Bookmarks, at the very bottom is a dividing line and below it, "Open In Tabs." Yet, when I Show All Bookmarks, I cannot find it anywhere. It's not a folder, it's not a link or site, its not in the Bookmarks Bar or the Bookmarks Menu - but it's there when I drop down from Main Menu>Bookmarks.
    2) How to create my own "open in tabs" with only two bookmarks in it that I can set to open at starting up Safari.
    Right now, when I click it, it tries to open everthing in my Bookmarks Menu.
    Can anyone explain (how it got there and how to get rid of it) - and help me do what I'm trying to do (open two sites at startup)? Thanks.

    I have to apologize, I accidently gave the link to Safari Enhancer when I mentioned Safari Extender.
    Safari Enhancer and Safari Extender are two different programs with two different purposes.
    Enhancer is a free standalone program to adjust some of the features in Safari that can not be adjusted using Safari's Preferences. It also alows you to make these changes without having to use the Terminal.
    Extender is a shareware Safari plugin that adds its own items to the control-click contextual menus in Safari and includes menu items to work with tabs, mail, user agents, printing, and other functions.
    Both are useful programs. I have and use each of them.

  • HT4650 In Finder, Desktop, it shows a zillion photos ...jpgs.. all greyed out.  I have no idea how they got there and they have been a nuisance since I cannot seem to get them off.  Tried dragging them to the trash, didn't help.

    In Finder,  Desktop,  a zillion photos show .  I have no idea how they got to the desktop but have not been able to get rid of them.  They are listed as greyed out.  ON the Desktop I tried dragging them to the Trash.  If I try to empty trash, 'some of the items you are moving are in use by another application. etc.."  and now,  another, Copy   "Preparing to undo "move to Trash".

    Try an All Images Search:
    In the Finder:
    Command - f
    Kind: Images
    Size: Greater than 300kb (This is to avoid all the thumbnails, icons and so on.)
    Set it to search the Mac.
    As to why? The most likely answer is user error, I'm afriad. It does point up the importantce of always having a back up.
