How upgrade to higher OS X

I have old mac book OS X wih old version 10.5.8, how can i upgrade with higher version in my computer for Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher?

You'll first need to buy a copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. That's still available from the online Apple Store; for the US, see:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available .
If they no longer have it available, you'll need to look to private sellers, and the prices are rising quickly. If you buy from a private seller, make sure you get the retail disk set (white label with a picture of a Snow Leopard), not the system disks from another model of Mac (grey label).
Once you have Snow Leopard installed, then you can consider whether you wish to upgrade to a yet newer version of Mac OS X; 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks, as your system will support. Which of those if any your MacBook will run will depend on the specific model you have.

Ipod nano 1.2 version how upgrade to higher version?

I recently received an ipod nano 1.2 version. iTunes purchased songs load into my ipod but do not play because they need a 1.3 version or higher to play M4P ACC (Protected) songs. How do I update the Ipod Nano application that I have to a higher version (1.3)?

In a link to compatible song formats, it says you need version 1.3 or later to play purchased songs that have an AAC format (protected). We are new to this, so that may be for a different type of iPod than the nano
That software is for the first and second generation regular iPods. All other iPod models come with the necessary firmware to play AAC files. You should be able to sync the purchased music to your iPod; if you can't, try the instructions in this article.

Upgrading to High Def

Upgrading to High Definition
I am currently using PE4, Windows XP Pro
I have been using a Canon ZR830 NTSC
I have been happy with my Videos until I bought a new 46 inch HDTV. Now I notice that the definition of my videos leaves a lot to be desired. I plan to get a HD camera soon but in the meantime I can borrow one to use. I know that I must upgrade my software.
I have a great bluray player. I do not have a bluray burner.
My questions are as follows:
Should I get PE 7 or 8
Can I open a PE4 project in PE7 or PE8
If I do a project with HD media and then burn to a SD DVD, how much better will that be than a project with SD media?
When I get a bluray burner, is the procedure still to burn the project to a folder and then burn those files onto the disk?
Any recommendations on a bluray burner? Cameras?
Thanks for your help.
Cliff

Cliff,
Welcome to the forum.
I'll take a crack at a couple of your questions.
Can I open a PE4 project in PE7 or PE8
Usually. There can be issues with 3rd party Effects and Transitions, and also with things like Themes, or Instant Movies. Now, you cannot go the other direction, so I would do a Save_As, using a different name, so that you do NOT over-write your PrE 4 Project, once you "convert" it to PrE 7, or 8.
If I do a project with HD media and then burn to a SD DVD, how much better will that be than a project with SD media?
This can be touchy, though some have had good luck. Many feel that Adobe does not do that good a job of converting HD material to SD. Now, one can burn HD to a DVD-Video, with a much reduced Duration (much less room on a DVD-5, or DVE-9, than on a BD). If you do downsample from HD to SD, you will not likely notice much increase is quality. This ARTICLE addresses converting HD to SD, but it is very heavily oriented towards Adobe PrPro CS4, and not PrE.
When I get a bluray burner, is the procedure still to burn the project to a folder and then burn those files onto the disk?
Right now, PrE does not allow Burn to Folder for BD Projects, but only to BD. Should an update for PrE 8 be offered, I do not know if this function will be added.
I'll let some of the HD experts comment on these, plus your other questions.
You might also want to post to the Muvipix "Community" (their fora), as a lot of folk there do HD and many also use PrE. You'll see some of the same posters, both here and there, but there are many on Muvipix, who do not post to this forum.
Good luck,
Hunt

Upgrading to high speed internet enhanced with budget local phone service?

Searched for this issue but can't locate anything on here. I have gotten conflicting information on this by phone and online chat. When I click on "Order Now" for High Speed Internet Enhanced (29.99) it takes me to the bundle page where it wants me to add TV service and upgrade my phone. All I want to do is upgrade to enhanced from the regular High Speed (19.99).
I don't know which dept I was connected to 1st on the phone, but her system wasn't allowing her to order it for me. She referred me to E center who wasn't sure and asked the online chat people sitting near him who said I have to upgrade my phone as well to get enhanced?
Is this true? I need to have a regional calling plan to upgrade to High Speed Internet Enhanced? Instead of paying an extra 10 bucks a month, it jumps to an extra 25 to 30 per month.
Does anyone else have budget phone service with High Speed Enhanced?

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up. It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
    news.giganews.com
    traceroute to 71.242.*.* (71.242.*.*), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets

    5 P3-0-0.PHIL-DSL-RTR11.verizon-gni.net (130.81.13.170) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms
    6 static-71-242-*-*.phlapa.east.verizon.net (71.242.*.*) 32 ms 32 ms 33 ms
Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
#3 If you don't know how to get that info:
a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
b) If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to it: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
#4 If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem, even if you know how to get the Transceiver Statistics from the modem: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?

Is it possible to upgrade to higher than "snow leopard" directly?

My MacBook is not what it used to be. I've had it for four years now and have not upgraded the OS, so it is still on Leopard. Is it possible - and how much does it cost - to upgrade to higher than "snow leopard" directly? In which case, how do I do it?
Thanks guys!

Hi Maria,
Any newer oSX is going to slow you down, but may be useful, but you need 10.6 & update it to 10.6.78 to go any higher.
You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8

How to find High level water mark

Hi all,
How to find high level water mark of a table.
Thanks,
Bhanu Chander.

Probably you mean High Water Mark.
select blocks from user_segments where segment_name='YOUR TABLE';
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats('YOU','YOUR TABLE')
select blocks from user_tables where table_name='YOUR TABLE';
subtract the last number from the first number. That is where your High Water Mark stands.
Kind regards
Uwe
http://uhesse.wordpress.com
Correction: The last number is where your HWM stands. The difference between the two numbers is the amount of blocks where no row has been yet :-)

How to investigate high io in a RAC with multiple databases?

how to investigate high io in a RAC with multiple databases?

RAC is saying that a single server lacks the processing capacity needed for databaseA. So additional databaseA instances on additional servers are needed in order to meet the processing demands for databaseA. Thus RAC is required.
Multiple databases on a single server says that the server has spare processing capacity and that it can not only deal with databaseA processing demands, but also with the processing load of databaseB.
So how does your statement about running multiple database RAC instances on the same RAC server node, make sense? And does your I/O issue not immediately point to the fact that no, RAC server1 cannot deal with the I/O resources required by both databaseA and databaseB?
After all, how is I/O scaled on RAC? How is ANYTHING scaled on RAC? By adding more databases to a RAC server node? Of course NOT!!
RAC scales by adding more servers (with a new database instance each) to a physical database in order to scale processing capacity and I/O. By adding more I/O channels to access the SAN/shared storage. By adding more CPUs to increase processing capacity.
Bluntly put - multiple RAC database instances on a single RAC server node is kind of an idiotic approach to scalability in my view....

Upgrade to High Speed Internet Enhanced : Not working

I recently upgraded my internet connection to High Speed Internet Enhanced (7.1 Mbps to 15 Mbps) from my old plan which had a speed of 1Mbps to 3.1Mbps. The order status indicates that the service has been activated. But still I am experiencing only the old speed (approx 2.5 Mbps only). Can anyone help?

Could you post your modem's Transceiver Statistics for us? If you don't know how to get them, finding your modem make and model and posting it up will help us help you get them.
One key thing to lay out on the table, if it isn't a stats issue it's possible 3Mbps/768kbps is your max speed due to your line coming from a Remote Terminal or DSLAM rather than the CO itself. Remotes are currently capped at 3Mbps, with the exception of a few meant to act as Mini-COs due to the lack of capacity going to them, and especially due to some of them being quite old. This is something for a person with the right level of access to the network or your account to find out. I've got someone who will check and turn up the speed if possible but we need to see the stats first.

How to open high-res photos files? (Lumia 1020)

Ok, I dont have time to do alot of research on this when the 1020 cant make JPEG format of the high-res photos in the first place.
So...how do I open these photos on my computer...or have I missed something? The format seem to be *.DGN, never heard of it.. How to make it JPEG?
Why these stupid long filenames and its not as easy to get the files to my computer as it were on the Belle (N8 and 808)...
I suggestion, get the Lumia phone compatible with the Nokia Suite computer program and some settings there that filter what type of files to sync to the computer and so on...I loveed that program wre you could upgrade the phone and have a good overlook and which handled many differant phones at the same time...

Try THIS
Also in settings it's easy enough to switch to JPG highres. Actually unless you changed it to DNG yourself it will (still) be on that setting. Unless you need or want to process your photos yourself using a suitable program on your PC there is very little point in using the format to shoot the highres images.
