How to go from OS X 10.5.8 to Maverick. Is it even possible?

My MacBook is currently running OS X 10.5.8 and I want it to be running Maverick. Do I need to update it to Leopard, then Snow Leopard, then to Lion, then to Maverick? Do I have to pay for each upgrade? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Please do the following before upgrading:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Leopard 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 Utilities menu. 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.

How to upgrade from OS X 10.7.5 to Mavericks

Hey guys I recently got a MacBook 13 inch - early 2008 and it has Mac OS X 10.7.5 and I cannot upgrade to Mavericks. When I try to install Mavericks on the app store, it tells me Mavericks cannot be installed on this device.
Suggestions and thoughts? Do I need to buy Mountain Lion inorder to upgrade to Mavericks?
David

The model 4,1 Early 2008 MacBook will not be able to run Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
It's mainly the video card. The Models 2,1 through 4,1 have video cards with non-upgradeable 32bit drivers. The model 5,1 Late 2008 and newer have at least the NVIDIA GeForce 9400M with 64bit drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks require 64bit native drivers. Mountain Lion and Mavericks no longer support Intel's GMA 950 or GMA X3100 graphics processors.
While Lion used some 32 bit and a lot of 64 bit code, Mountain Lion and Mavericks are pure 64 bit, which excludes more systems than Lion did. It's not something you can add memory to, for example, as it involves the base architecture.

How to send from an email alias in Outlook?

Hi,
We have created several email alias for some partner teams here in the UK but shared with Romania (i.e [email protected]). We have approval for them to work externally and this seems to be working fine.
The question is how to send from this alias in beehive/outlook? In Thunderbird it is possible to do this via Tools > Account Settings > Manage Identities
Have briefly searched these forums but cannot find anything so any suggestions appreciated.
Regards,
Rich W.

Rich,
If this is a generic account then it should have a login to the system involved and Thunderbird allows the identity swap on the fly - To get Outlook to do this you would have to set up a new Profile in the Windows Mail app in the control panel and then close Outlook and re-open it with the new profile. Outlook unfortunately has no simultaneous access to different accounts - it is a single stream app (Microsoft decided on this approach, not us, so we have no control).
Sorry, I can't be more help.
Phil

How do you adjust settings or is this not even possible with this new program?

I just loaded 4.1. How can you adjust settings with this new thing or is it not even possible? Like how can you adjust bitrate or do you have to use the templates as is?

I'm not sure what the weird button you mention is. You mean the gear button?
In any event, and as you've found out, the answer is yes. Create a custom setting – either by duplicating a preset, or using the plus button in the settings pane. Depending on the format, the available adjustments will be different they're accessible from the Inspector.

Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?

After being tricked by the fast talking smoothy helper at Apple store in London to buy a micky mouse ipodtouch (fourth generation) two years ago I am stuck at ios 4.1 and find that all the useful applications need 4.3 or more. So I went to the trouble of letting the macbook stay open all night to load yet another micky mouse version of itunes so that I can upload the more recent version of ios and now (since I don't want to continually have a lot of rubbish on the ipod I disabled the automatic sync "feature") I can only go round in circles whereby the only real possibility left is to turn on the autosync feature. I have had messages like "your ipod will be completely erased if you proceed" and "do you wish to fiddle another few days with this nasty system, then click on continue" and so on.
Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?
That would be great (maybe) because otherwise I will toss this children's waste product on the floor and set up my HD camera to show how easy it is to smash the brightly lit screen into pieces and relieve myself of trash which Apple sell to unsuspecting gullible humans who believe that they are not being tricked by such a nice company who produce shiny colourful gadgets which only work for a month or two before becoming 100% obsolete.
Great to hear from those who have wasted many months of their lives and discovered how to trick the system into doing a simple update operation!
I am insulted by the tricks that fool many and that apple pretend are "necessary".

Illaass, your help is amazing - miles better than anyone working in this part of the world who is paid - and you do this for free - because, like me, you LOVE to help people!
BUT, as I said above -
1. There is nothing "mobile" under Application Support. For whatever reason.
2. Devious - that Apple has set up iPod to not show in Finder - a red herring and sign that corruption is visible.
I will try iFunBox next and it sounds like they provide this for the more serious users but use a trivial name to excuse further strangeness.
After
There are purchased items on the iPod that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating the iPod. Are you sure you want to continue?
I get
Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will backup and restore the apps, media, contacts, notes, and settings on your iPod touch.
Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete.
Cancel          Update
And then I wait for hours to arrive at the above mentioned
Backing up iPod   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Stop
and then as above
An error occurred while backing up this iPod (0xE8000084). Would you like to continue to update this iPod?
Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod.
Cancel                Continue
and so we are back to where we always land - the user is left in the Apple designed sabotage situation which annoyed me so much initially.
"Most users will give up at this point, loose all the data or buy yet another disposable from Apple. Less than 3% will work their way to this site and 90% of the 3% will leave the iPod to gather dust in the hope that someone will help later. In all, Apple gains, since people blame themselves for "mistakes" which Apple programmed to throw out users who do not take the 100% Apple path. But Illaass and myself still play the game of "trying to fix" something which Apple don't allow." was the comment which I was going to write but decided against it, adding no value to the conversation other than explaining one reality which we all hoped could be wrong but which I thought to have a very high chance of being closer to the truth.
Apologies for my doubts towards the integrity of the creators.

Recheck: Under Application Support "mobilesync" folder has appeared (MobileMeSyncClient has also appeared [while again trying to update iPod] with zero size) - Good news, a Backup file is there, but it is only 3GB while my iPod has 32GB and is close to full (800MB free space).

The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
More Infomation    OK
So it looks like I may have lost all the important pictures documenting various items all around Europe for the last two years - luckily I moved a year ago from the iPod toy camera to a Panasonic real camera with SD card which can be read on any computer. Hence important items lost may only be older than one year rather than the most recent items.
Glad I have changed to Panasonic since they don't try to screw you when you don't use their system.
I will now check the "more information" rather than just click on "OK" since I am of the 3% who "don't accept cr*p".
For full information I quote that the iPod now shows a screen with a USB ikon, an upward arrow and an iTunes ikon (all micky mouse language which reduces transparant, clear and technical discussion and thus covers the trail of "where things went wrong").
The iPod is still attached to the computer but the above MMTALK may mean that the iPod should be attached via USB to the mac. I record much of this activity on Video to be able to later prove EXACTLY what occurred, rather than having to rely on screenshots and opinions. We are after all dealing with important items which may later be required to be shown in court, as evidence against fraudsters.
The "More Information" link leads to
Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
which I have already seen before.
I clicked on OK and a help screen (unnamed as ever because no one like myself demanded that the help screens be named for later discussion) arrived:

while copying this into this message the computer began to start up Final Cut Pro and this was cancelled, then iTunes came up with a message:

And I presume the earlier message about helping Apple is gone because I keep getting interrupted by this message called
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
it has appeared now at least six times interferring with anything else I do. Each time I try to write, this message appears and blocks, but only when I write. I tried to do a carriage return and the message appeared taking the carriage return as acceptance of the OK in the
iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
ok
Message. But since I have not removed the USB and keep returning to this message I am able to write for a few seconds (now 30 seconds or more) and the message remains on the screen but not blocking this conversation. It appears to be random but in fact as you can later see from the video, it is not reappearing each periodic number of seconds but as I reach a new comment.
I will try to close iTunes so that this can be stopped (I clicked on OK and it appeared another few times, each time I clicked on ok and now it has left me in peace to write here although iTunes is still not yet closed).
Difficult to log down all the strange behaviour but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.
2014 01 12 12 49 27
Should I remove the iPod and stop iTunes? I have a nasty feeling turning to indifference since I have video footage which will verify all the above in a court of law if later required. The truth must always win over any devious attempts at forcing people to do things they don't want to ;-)

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

How to out from infinite while loop in sub VI

Dear Sir,
how to out from infinite while loop in sub VI from main VI
attached photo for solution but I can't understand it and i can't find the function in photo
please help
Attachments:
stop_subVI_frm_main.JPG ‏36 KB

Asking how to get out of an infinite loop is like asking how to find the end of a circle. I'm not trying to be sarcastic but by definition, if there is a way out of the loop, then it is not infinite. I think what you are asking is how to avoid creating an infinite loop. Is there something about the suggestions you have been given that you do not like? My favorite suggestion is the notifier but maybe you just need an example. Turn on context help and read about the notifier functions in the code below.
This is your top level VI
And this is your subVI
If this seems too complex then a global variable will work too. But what seems simpler can cause much more complex bugs. You can code fast and spend lots of time debugging or you can code slow and spend less time debugging. Personally I perfer writing productive code than looking for bugs any time.

How to convert from Grayscale to single color channel

I hope that someone here might be able to help. I am writing an application which loads in color channels separately, to be merged by the application The images are multi-page TIFF files. The trouble that I am running into is that the application loads the images into grayscale, so when I merge the channels, they are merged as grayscale, not as the correct colors.
I use the following on each color channel to load them in:
public static BufferedImage[] loadTiff(File multiPageFile, int colour) {
    BufferedImage[] img = null;
    ArrayList<BufferedImage> tmp = new ArrayList<BufferedImage>();
    try {
        SeekableStream stream = new FileSeekableStream(multiPageFile);
        String[] names = ImageCodec.getDecoderNames(stream);
        ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder(names[0], stream, null);
        int numPages = dec.getNumPages();
        for (int i=0; i<numPages; i++) {
         try {
                RenderedImage im = dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(i);
                BufferedImage bi = PlanarImage.wrapRenderedImage(im).getAsBufferedImage();
          //In case not all pages are valid images, we use ArrayList as it is dynamic
          tmp.add(bi);
            }catch (RuntimeException re) {
          //Once the exception is caught, we can decode the layer here for whatever means.
    }catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) {
        System.err.println("File not found.");
        fnfe.printStackTrace();
    }catch (Exception e) {
        System.err.println("General Exception caught");
        e.printStackTrace();
    //Convert to an array to be returned.
    img = new BufferedImage[tmp.size()];
    for (int i=0; i<img.length; i++) {
        img[i] = tmp.get(i);
    return img;
}So a BufferedImage array is returned (one element in the array for each page in the multi-page file). Before I return the BufferedImage array, though, it would be good to convert it to the correct color. I know which channel is currently being loaded. Does anyone have any tips on how to shift from a grayscale intensity to a single color intensity? I have tried a number of things regarding byte shifting, but I am really none the wiser.
I have tried, for example, reading the int color value:
int color = bi.getRGB(w,h);The trouble is that this number is not in the region 0..255, so I don't know how I can use it. If I shift the number:
color = color>>16I get a number smaller than 255 (although it seems to be negative), but I don't know whether I can use this value for a single color channel, i.e. if the current color is red, saying:
Color redC = new Color(color, 0, 0);
bi.setRGB(w,h,redC); //Slow and inefficient. There must be a better way.When I try doing that, I end up with nothing drawn or visible.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Edited by: doughnuts64 on Jun 12, 2008 6:27 AM

Thanks for the response. It has been helpful in getting my problem sorted. I was not creating a new BufferedImage - I was just using the one that had been loaded in, and as such had not realised that the type was not TYPE_INT_RGB. As soon as I instantiated a new BufferedImage of the same dimensions and colour TYPE_INT_RGB as you suggested, it worked! So thanks for that.
Whilst that does work, it does slow the application incredibly as it has so much data to cycle through. Ideally, I would be able to load the image in directly as the colour channel in question, rather than loading in as grayscale. This way, the application would only require the amount of time needed to load in the images, not to process them on a pixel-by-pixel basis (typical images are made up of over 16,000,000 pixels for each colour channel, and we typically load two files in at once - both for separate colour channels, so over 32,000,000 pixels to process).
As I am loading in multi-page tiff files, I am having to use the JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) toolkit. I use the following code to load in my multi-page tiff into a BufferedImage array, where each element of the array represents one of the 'pages' in the multi-page tiff file:
SeekableStream stream = new FileSeekableStream(multiPageFile);
String[] names = ImageCodec.getDecoderNames(stream);
ImageDecoder dec = ImageCodec.createImageDecoder(names[0], stream, null);
int numPages = dec.getNumPages();
BufferedImage[] finalImage = new BufferedImage[numPages];
for (int i=0; i<numPages; i++) {
     RenderedImage im = dec.decodeAsRenderedImage(i);
     finalImage[i] = PlanarImage.wrapRenderedImage(im).getAsBufferedImage();
     //...colour changing code currently here - loops through finalImage array, and on every pixel of every layer
...To be able to automatically convert the colour channel without having to loop on every pixel (and thus save an incredible amount of loading time) would be helpful.
Thanks.

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me?

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me? The final result would be a spreadsheet telling there were 8 people from 20 to 39 years old, 14 peolple from 40 to 59 and so on...

This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
Data table:
D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
D3 (and filled down the rest of column D): =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
Summary table:
Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
=COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
Two changes from the previous example:
COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
See note below regarding my earlier formula.
When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
Regards,
Barry
Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
Fill down to E8.
Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

How to print from iPhone 3GS with OS 4.2.1?

Hello,
I have searched and read through the discussion forums, but I'm not sure I understand how to print from my iPhone.
In reading the manual for the iPhone 3GS, specifically on page 44, it says the following:
AirPrint uses your Wi-Fi network to send print jobs wirelessly to your printer. iPhone must be connected to the same wireless network as the AirPrint printer.
My HP printer (Officejet Pro L7555) is plugged into my Airport Express so that I can do wireless printing. (I am also using an Airport Extreme for the WiFi network in my house).
When I have, for example, an email on my iPhone that I am reading, if I tap the "reply" button, I do see the "Print" option appear. When I tap on "Print", it brings up a screen where it says, "Select Printer". I then tap on that, and it will then say, "Looking for Printers".
The final outcome is "No Printers Found".
Since I am following the instructions on wireless printing as found on page 44 of the iPhone 3GS handbook (with OS 4.2.1 software), I'm not sure what it is that I'm doing wrong. I can print wirelessly with my iMac and my MacBook Pro to my HP printer just fine. Everything in my home is on the same network (my iPhone, iMac, iTouch, and MacBook Pro) that the printer is on.
I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of the puzzle somewhere that the manual is missing. Can someone please let me know what additional steps I must take in order to print from my iPhone 3GS while I am at home on my own network?
Thank you very much.

From one Andy to another Andy (LOL):
Okay, thank you for the information. I even searched the Store web page before asking my question, and somehow missed this.
Well, I'm not about to go and buy ANOTHER Apple toy just to print from my iPhone. For now, I think I can stick to the old-fashioned way and just forward it to myself so that I can print it from the iMac. I just got Apple TV a few days ago, so I'll have to wait a little bit for the next toy.
Thank you very much for the prompt answer.

Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac?

Help! Anyone know how to print from Win2K or WinXP to shared printer on iMac? I have a new IMac hosting a Canon iP4300, a pc running W2K & a pc running WXPsp2. All computers recognize each other and the iP4300 on the network and can share files. All Mac "Windows Sharing" & "Printer Sharing" preferences sre set correctly. Apple says the printer must be configured on the Windows computers as an SMB/CIFS network printer using a Postscript driver. I can find lots of pages on the net telling me I what needs to be done, but nothing stating how to do it. All the info I've found is either overly simplistic and or relates to the 10th dang of enterprise server administration. Would VERy much appreciate any help at all.
