How to upgrade old G4

I have an old G4; what upgrade path is needed to allow it to run Panther so that it is at least compatible with my other IBOOK G4

Any G4 Mac should be able to run Mac OS 10.3 "Panther". You will need to upgrade your RAM to at least 256 Mb and should have a minimum of 3.0 Gb free space on the drive you are installing on. I recommend upgrading the RAM to the full capacity (probably 2.0 Gb), since memory prices are low enough. I'd also recommend adding another hard drive (internal if you have a Power Mac, or external for easy swapping with your iBook).
See the following article for details on Panther system requirements:

How to upgrade old version of MacPro 1.1 with Lion 10.7.5 to Mountain Lion? There is some way by inserting 64 bit instead od 32bits. Reply how to do it to Stefan Erix, Uppsala, Sweden
<Email Edited by Host>

If you are a developer, or have a similar personality, there is an aftermarket EFI-64 "work-alike" program you can load into memory instead of 64-bit firmware. It is too complicated for regular folks.
You must already have upgraded your Memory and your graphics card to use this solution, and your Mac will not operate quite normally. Any problems with it are unsupported.

How to upgrade old flash installs

I have several instances of flash.ocx and NPSWF32.dll in
several places that are now old, insecure versions. Can I upgrade
them to the laster version of flash, and if so, how?
They're installed at:
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX
2004\Configuration\Flash Player\Flash.ocx (version 6.0.68.0)
C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\Flash
Player\Flash.ocx (version 6.0.68.0)
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX
2004\Configuration\Flash Player\NPSWF32.dll (version 9.0.45.0)
C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\Flash
Player\NPSWF32.dll (version 9.0.45.0)
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX
2004\Configuration\Plugins\NPSWF32.dll (version 9.0.45.0)
While I'm at it, in the C:\Windows\System32 folders there are
also slightly older versions of flash. The Adobe update site claims
that it's upgrading to 9.0.47.0, but the files still report the
older version number.
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9b.ocx (version
9.0.28.0)
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32.dll (version
9.0.45.0)
Thank you,
Brian

Is this the note you are referring to:
Not sure if this can help you.
I checked my notes. They are stored here:
MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
Thanks

How can upgrade my old iPad with iOS 5 to the last version of iPad iOS?

The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1.

I have an old version on my iPad 4.3.3 and can't figure out how to upgrade. Per the manual "Software Upgrades" is not an option from the General Settings.

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

How to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

I recently bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 utimate for my laptop, my laptop is new and Windows Vista pre-installed. I would like to know if I upgrade Windows 7 from this "Fresh", pre-installed vista, would this Windows 7 operate as good as the clean installed Windows 7?
I am not very clear how Vista upgrades to Windows 7, do Windows 7 upgrades based on the old Vista system? Or it will install a clean and new Windows 7 then only copy all the settings and programmes from old Vista?

Hi
Can you please tell us what Toshiba notebook you have exactly and what Vista version you have exactly (Home, Business, etc. and 32bit/64bit)?
Theoretically you can upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 but it must be same version. That means its only possible to upgrade from 32bit to 32bit and 64bit to 64bit.
If you want to upgrade you have to insert this disc and follow the screen instructions, thats all.

How to upgrade the hard disk of the nomad jukebox

I read the FAQ of nomad on nomadness.net, I wanna know how to upgrade the hard disk of old nomad jukebox with a bigger one?
I also read a artical on tom's hardware about this,
http://www7.tomshardware.com/mobile/20000/mp3-3.html
but he gave a link
http://www.kuren.org/jukebox
that is not available. He mentioned that it need to clone the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk to the new one, but I have not the old hard disk( I bought a second hand nomad jukebox without the original hard disk). How should I do?
Does someone have the image file of the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk?
Thank you!

That was the old method before Creative published their Bootcode Flasher software.
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...ticle&artid=24
All files mentioned are available somewhere on Nomadness. Also check out the sticky thread in their JB section of the forum as it lists what hard dri'ves will work in a JB and which ones won't. I hope you haven't already bought your upgrade hard dri've.
I used the above method without any problems and now have a 20GB JB.

How to upgrade OS X v10.5 to OS X v10.6?

i"ve an old Imac running on OS X v10.5.8, Any advice how to upgrade to OS X v10.6 Snow would be invaluable.
Thanks

The last time I checked an Apple Store may have been a month or two ago, but not only did they not have any Snow Leopard DVDs, they had no DVDs, CDs, or any other kind of Ds of anything whatsoever. I asked.
Get it. Its predecessor OS, Leopard, is not available from anyone, anywhere, for anything less than a King's ransom. That's a hint.

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.

Hi,
For custom forms and reports, you need to open it using Forms/Reports Builder 10g, compile it, and upload it again to the server.
For the CUSTOM_TOPs, make sure it is set in the custom<CONTEXT_NAME>.sh file under $APPL_TOP, and in default.env file on the Applications tier.

HT201318 how to upgrade icloud storage plan with 10.6.8?

I haven't upgraded my computer software, so how to upgrade my icloud storege plan as when inside system preferences
there is no icloud icon just the old mobile me. Thanks

You can only do this from a Mac running 10.7.5 or above, or Mountain Lion; or an iOS5 or above device; or the iCloud Control Panel on a compliant version of Windows.
If you only have access to the Mac and don't want to upgrade the system you could go to an Apple Store and ask the 'Genius' to do it for you (make an apppointment). Note that you won't be able to cancel the automatic renewal yourself .
If you decide to upgrade your Mac you will need to check that it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

How to upgrade 5.0.1 executable to run on Windows XP?

I need to upgrade the OS on a standalone DAQ system to Windows XP.
This system is controlled by an executable created by LabVIEW 5.01 running on Windows 98.
I am not sure if we have the source code (i.e. LV vi's).
Can any one please tell me how to upgrade the system so that the LabVIEW 5.01 executable can run on Windows XP?
Thank you very much for your help.

I will try after backing up the entire system before trying it.
Another related question, if I can find the source code in LV 5.0.1, will I be able to upgrade it to the latest LV version if I buy the LV package, or do I expect problems?
I guess if it were me I'd just get a new compatible hard drive for the system (since they are so inexpensive these days) and swap it for the one with Win98. Install WinXP to the new drive and be sure that you are happy with the performance of the old machine under WinXP before proceeding. Then you can temporarily add the Win98 drive as an additional disk to the WinXP system and copy the files you need off of it and then set it aside again just in case you are not able to get the LabVIEW working. Swapping disk drives is MUCH faster and usually safer then creating and restoring backups. An alternate similar path is to add the new drive to the Win98 system and, using software like Norton Ghost, clone the Win98 system/disk to the new disk then pull out the old Win98 disk, boot off the cloned Win98 disk and upgrade that disk to WinXP. That way the old applications would exist under the new system and you may be able to run them without any further fuss.
The current version of LabVIEW should be able to read the old VI files. You could always download the demo and try it. As far as having problems, many people in general are not happy with one aspect or another of LabVIEW v8.0 and the patch to 8.0.1 certainly does not fix all the problems but if all you are doing is upgrading old code to run again under 8 then you'll probably be OK.

If you have the old hard drive, buy an enclosure, boot your computer off the old hard drive, make a clone of your old hard drive and then copy the clone to the SDD. That will also give you the old hard drive for additional storeage. Other World Computing sells enclosures.
