When there is an update to a newer version of a browser like this update to Safari 5.1.4, is there an article that goes over the best way to update to a newer version of a browser that one knows of? Is it best to close all apps, install the update, turn the computer off, turn it on and hold down the shift key until the gear and progress bar are showing, when this is finished, do a restart of the computer.  I hav always wondered the best way (if there is a best way) to update to a newer version of a browser so you avoid potential problems.  Is there a Support Article that goes over installing and updating to a newer version of one's browser, in this case Safari?
Thanks.

The following may or may not apply to Lion:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Later versions of OS X.

An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448?
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • HT4847 Just used ICLOUD and backed up everything on my IPAD2 except ITUNES which is synced with my laptop, but cloud says backup was only 263mb  how do I know that all of my mail, game apps , photos, and all other apps was backed up?  And how do I update

    ICloud backup on my IPAD2 only says 263mb backed up, did it include all apps?

    None of your iTunes downloads are included in a backup, neither to the cloud nor on iTunes - an iCloud restore would redownload what it can from the store (e.g. apps that are still in your country's store, and if you haven't changed countries since buying them), an iTunes restore would pick them up your iTunes downloads from the relevant part of your iTunes library (Apps, Music etc). Only the apps content/settings are in the actual back up - you can see which apps that you are backing up to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > device name
    If you haven't already done so then you should copy any iTunes downloads that aren't in your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and take your own copy of any important documents/photos - as long as you've set their apps to backup to the cloud then they should be included in that, but it's best to have your own copy as well.
    You could also take a backup on iTunes (File > Devices > Back Up) - that should take up a similar size as the cloud backup does (as it doesn't include any of your iTunes downloads or the contents of the Music and Videos apps). After you are happy that the update has gone through ok then you can delete the backup (though ideally you'd take a regular iTunes backup as well) via the Devices tab in Edit > Preferences in iTunes.
    Emails are not included in a backup, only the email account's settings are. Also photos that were synced from a computer are not included, nether are the contents of the Music and Videos app.

  • Ideal way to update a field in a table

    Hi All,
    We need to update a field in a table which have some 8 million records.
    The value of the field needs to be updated in all the above mentioned records.
    Now, we have an input file with all the primary key fields and the field to be updated.
    Can any one suggest the ideal way to update the field.
    1.     Updating the database for each record.
    Loop at itab.
    Update…….
    Endloop.
    2.     Updating the database with a set of 100 records.
    We are planning to schedule the job in the background.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Krishna

    Hi,
    be very carefull with the update, ´cause you can damage 8 million records !!
    You better use instruction Update for this:
    update mytable set field = value where conditions.
    Try to use all key fields in the conditions and never use something like
    update mytable set: field1 = value1
                        field2 = value2
                        field3 = value3 where conditions.
    The loop in your case 1 is not absolutely necessary, ´cause you update a whole bunch of records at once with the conditions in Update.
    Test the changes in the development system before you do it in production

  • I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

    I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

    It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
    When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:
    https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15485/labels-&-addresses
    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.

  • Volume of microphone button inaudible when pressed when overall volume on high and all other sounds/ringer/alert volume working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday.

    Hello, the volume of my microphone button in text messages is inaudible when pressed, even when my overall volume is on high and all other sounds/ringer/alerts volume are working fine! Is there a way to fix this? Was working fine yesterday. I've tried rebooting and turning Siri on and off, and can't think of what else to do. All googling results in posts about the mic not recording sound loud enough or not working. My mic works just fine; it does the job of recording, but I want the chime to be loud so I don't have to look at the screen to know when I can speak; I like to hear the chime to alert me. Any help is appreciated!

    I agree with you about the volume on the phone itself. (I have 3Gs). It needs to be louder. I also wear hearing aids. However I do think there may be something wrong with your phone because when I connect my earbuds (Klipsh) I get very good volume through them. In fact at full volume it's way too loud. I would push for a replacement phone.
    FWIW, my daughter (who also wears hearing aids) has trouble hearing her iphone. It appears to have more to do with the speaker not being lined up with the hearing aid's input. Her audiologist pointed out that some current hearing aids support bluetooth, I think we will get those next time we replace her hearing aids.

    My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem? Can somebody help me please?

    The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
    What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

    When I updated my iPhone to iOS 6.1.3, somehow the iTunes App did not make it back to my iPhone.  So, I now have an iPhone without the iTunes App.  All other apps are on my iPhone.  How do I get back my iTunes App, so I can continue buying music and flix?

    Check the General -> Restrictions settings and see if perhaps the iTunes app is turned off there. If not, the app may have been inadvertently moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder. Do a search for the app or try resetting the Home screen layout: Choose General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.

    You should always have your apps on your computer.  If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
    Sorry.
    Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

    This solved my questionRe: Unable to Purchase 
    Apr 16, 2012 10:22 PM (in response to eight4seven)
    This worked for someone
    I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
    About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
    Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
    I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
    Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.
