How to upgrade US system from outside US?

When living in the US, I bought a Mac Mini with Tiger on it. Last year I moved to Germany - taking that Mac Mini with me.
Now I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard by buying the Mac Box Set and have the problem, that I can't get US install media. The german Apple shop is selling german install media only. The US shop on the other side isn't shipping outside US. Not even Amazon.com is shipping that particular box outside US.
How to proceed?

Thanks Malcolm,
Thanks Esquared,
thanks, the shop in Germany says "Mac Box Set '09 Deutsch [German]", so it's good to know that there is only 1 DVD set. The language for the manual isn't a issue (I don't read them anyway
Thanks again,
Helge

HT4561 how to upgrade operating system from 10.5.8 to mountain lion

How do upgrade my I MAC from MAC OS X ro Mountain lion?

To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
8 GB or more of available hard disk space
If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion. Lion costs 99¢ more than Snow Leopard.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
2GB of memory (RAM)
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed:  > About this Mac
The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum.

Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. How can I retrieve my photos without buying iPhoto?

Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto library in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. Why would apple install iPhoto by default with Snow Leapord and make us import all our photos in it at the first place, and now ask for money if we want to retrieve our photos back on mountain lion? What if they make contacts a paid app with the next OS upgrade, and then bully us to pay money if we want our contacts? This is something very dissappointing on Apple's part. I need answers here.

I fail to remember if the installer gave me an option to keep my applications.
The Mountain Lion installer will not delete applications. It will only mark applications, that are not compatible with your current system with a "forbidden" sign in the icon. And you cannot launch them.
Does your iPhoto icon in the Applications folder look like this?
Then your iPhoto version is incompatible and cannot run with Mt. Lion. If it is iPhoto '11, with a versionnumber starting with 9.x.x., you can upgrade it by downloading a newer version from the Apple downloads site http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650.
But if you have 8.x.x, you need to buy an upgrade.

How to upgrade my mackbookpro from 10.5.8 to date

how to upgrade my mackbookpro from 10.5.8 to date

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... MAVERICKS...
Check here to see if your Mac is compatible...
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Mavericks, Mountain Lion and Lion.

... upgrade Discovery system from V2 to V3 possible ??

Hi
Is it possible and feasible to upgrade Discovery System from V2 to V3?
If possible, is there any additional license or costs involved with the upgrade?
Cheers

Hi,
Since the Discovery system is an appliance - bundled hardware + software + content, it is not possible to upgrade from v2 to v3.0.
You are free to upgrade your v2.0 system's SAP components by downloading patches and service packs from the SAP Service MarketPlace and applying them to the V2 system if your main intention is to patch the V2 to a higher software release.
The only way to get the Discovery system V3 is to purchase it from one of the vendors and would include hardware , software and content.
Please check the SDN pages for how to order a new system:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/discoverysystem
Take a look at this [blog|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=(J2EE3414700)ID0712810550DB00622245933431315245End?blog=/pub/wlg/7914] that includes a detailed list on the differences between the Discovery system V2 and V3
thanks,

How to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3

how to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3
I dont want to upgrade it to 4.0 yet.
Just up to 3.1.3 from 3.0.1
how can i do it.

That's because Apple is no longer signing v3.1.3 nor any firmware other than iOS4. You could try following a downgrade to v3.1.3, see these:

How can buy iPhone 5 from outside USA ?. And how much it cost ?

How can buy iPhone 5 from outside USA ? iPhone 5 - 16 GB how much it cost ?

Unless you live in the US & plan on using the iPhone 5 in the US, you DO NOT want a US iPhone 5. Apple will sell three different variants of the iPhone 5. The model sold in the US will only work, for LTE, in the US & Canada...no where else. You've been warned.

How to delete file systems from a Live Upgrade environment

How to delete non-critical file systems from a Live Upgrade boot environment?
Here is the situation.
I have a Sol 10 upd 3 machine with 3 disks which I intend to upgrade to Sol 10 upd 6.
Current layout
Disk 0: 16 GB:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 1.9G /
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 692M /usr/openwin
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 7.7G /var
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 3.9G swap
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 2.5G /tmp
Disk 1: 16 GB:
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 7.7G /usr
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1 1.8G /opt
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3 3.2G /data1
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4 3.9G /data2
Disk 2: 33 GB:
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 33G /data3
The data file systems are not in use right now, and I was thinking of
partitioning the data3 into 2 or 3 file systems and then creating
a new BE.
However, the system already has a BE (named s10) and that BE lists
all of the filesystems, incl the data ones.
# lufslist -n 's10'
boot environment name: s10
This boot environment is currently active.
This boot environment will be active on next system boot.

I browsed the Solaris 10 Installation Guide and the man pages
for the lu commands, but can not find how to remove the data
file systems from the BE.
How do I do a live upgrade on this system?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the tips.
I commented out the entries in /etc/vfstab, also had to remove the files /etc/lutab and /etc/lu/ICF.1
and then could create the Boot Environment from scratch.
I was also able to create another boot environment and copied into it,
but now I'm facing a different problem, error when trying to upgrade.
# lustatus
Boot Environment           Is       Active Active    Can    Copy
Name                       Complete Now    On Reboot Delete Status
s10                        yes      yes    yes       no     -
s10u6                      yes      no     no        yes    -        Now, I have the Solaris 10 Update 6 DVD image on another machine
which shares out the directory. I mounted it on this machine,
did a lofiadm and mounted that at /cdrom.
# ls -CF /cdrom /cdrom/boot /cdrom/platform
/cdrom:

Solaris_10/
/cdrom/boot:
hsfs.bootblock   sparc.miniroot
/cdrom/platform:
sun4u/   sun4us/ sun4v/Now I did luupgrade and I get this error:
# luupgrade -u -n s10u6 -s /cdrom
ERROR: The media miniroot archive does not exist </cdrom/boot/x86.miniroot>.
ERROR: Cannot unmount miniroot at </cdrom/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot>.I find it strange that this sparc machine is complaining about x86.miniroot.
BTW, the machine on which the DVD image is happens to be x86 running Sol 10.
I thought that wouldn't matter, as it is just NFS sharing a directory which has a DVD image.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

HI Khanna
Delete the Business System in your IR and ID, if any interfaces are developed under this BS.
See if any items in locked state...and also after deleting it...activate it and refresh the cache. this shud help
If you deleted from everywhere then it should not give that message.
Try after refresh cache using SXI_CACHE.
Finally Delete the BS from SLD
In general , that to be you are facing this type of problem only inthis situation , then you have to refresh SLD cache.
See the below link

Need help on upgrading operating system from Mac OSX 10.3.9

We have a Imac G5 with Mac OS X v 10.3.9. We want an upgrade to run new ILife stuff. We don't know what we are doing.
What should we get to update the operating system, where, and how do we upgrade the system?
Are there any particular requirements that my computer will need? How do I know that I have them?
Is there anything in particular in the System Profile that I need to make sure that I have?
Thanks.

You don't say what iMac G5 you have, but here's the *Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements* http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950 You may have to increase your RAM. A minimum of 1GB is recommended. If you click on About This Mac, you will see how much RAM is currently installed.
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.
Suggest you download the two PDF documents at the top of this link.

Upgrade PI system from NW 7.0 SP18 to NW 7.0 Ehp 2 SP08

Hello Experts,
We want to do an upgrade of our PI systems from NW 7.0 SP18 to NW 7.0 Ehp 2 SP08 and I would like to know the impacts / effects it will have on the exisiting interfaces in the system ( we use most of the standard adaptors ) from an application point of view.
In other words Im looking for some guidelines or things to check once our basis team does this upgrade other than checking if all the interfaces are working fine.
Thank you in advance for your inputs.

Any inputs on this post?
Thanks.

How to Upgrade Target Agent from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4

Hi Everybody,
I am doing this first time so need some help
Q1. I need to Upgrade Target Agent from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.4 manually and can't seem to find the right patch I need.
I tried p3731593, but this seems to be installing much more than what I need so I cancelled it
One option I thought of was to uninstall 10203 agent and install 10204 in the same agent home But I was wondering if there is a way I can upgrade my agent.
Q2. Does the agent version on target and host(OMS) need to be same or can I have Target Agent 10.2.0.4 and host agent 10.2.0.3?
Thanks for helping in advance
Jeet

Hi Jeet,
You can use Patch 3822442 to upgrade the agent.
The agent can be of different version.
