HT1338 Upgrade path from Leopard 10.5.8

What is the cheapest way for me to upgrade from OSX Leopard 10.5.8 to a version supported by Apple?
The imac I have was purchased in 2009, is intel based and has 2G of RAM.

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is the current OS X and can be downloaded from the App store, which you can use after upgrading to OS X 10.6.
You may know that either Lion or Mountain Lion no longer run any PowerPC code. OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard is the last operating system that can run PowerPC code. People with Microsoft Office 2004 were surprised when it would no longer run under OS X 10.7 Lion. Newer versions of Office are OK. I have a dual boot iMac, with both OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and OS X 10.7 Lion, as I have a few PowerPC programs I use now and then.
As mentioned above, consider upgrading your memory to 4GB for performance purposes if you upgrade.

  • What are all the possible upgrade paths from Tiger to Snow Leopard?

    What is are all the ways to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard?
    Can I buy the 29.00 Snow Leopard upgrade? Or is my only path forward to do the Snow Leopard box set for Tiger? I know my model isn't support but this is a question about the upgrade path from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
    Thanks in advance.
    Todd

    I have a Power PC dual 2 gig G5 running OS X 10.4.10. I know at some point that Leopard will not support the power PC platform, but I also know I probably will have one more upgrade path before my computer is no longer supported. I have not upgraded because My machine runs perfect. But I also know that a lot of my software will not run when I upgrade. Pro Tools, Maya,Mocha, various plug ins for Pro Tools. What path should I take to my final upgrade to the latest OS?
    Thanks in advance

  • Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X ?

    The price of FCPX pretty much is the cost of the upgrade of FCPStudio, but a much better value (at least so far -- every update has been free.) However, it's only the single app so you might feel like you're not getting as much for your money. Don't be fooled. Most of Color and Soundtrack Pro are built into FCPX. FCPX will conform video automatically so Cinema Tools aren't really needed anymore. The Motion engine is part of FCPX, although I do recommend buying Motion 5 (an extra 50 bucks.)  (Motion 4 seems to have died in Yosemite - you can't even launch it.)
    I "upgraded" from Final Cut Studio 3... it took me about a week to decide to pack up all the old software for good. YMMV.  However, if you use DVD Studio Pro... hang on to that.

  • Upgrade path from ODI 10.1.3.5

    Hello Friends,
    We are using ODI 10.1.3.5. Like to get some recommendations on upgrade path from 10.1.3.5.
    I read that we need to first upgrade to 10.1.3.6.x before considering upgrade to 11G release.
    I guess, this might be in consideration to upgrade with minimal change with patch upgrade to 10.1.3.6.x than upgrading to big change 11G release.
    If we have to upgrade to one safe step with not of a big impact/change to users and projects...what release upgrade-to is ideal? 10.1.3.6.x?
    Appreciate your response!! Thanks.

    Thanks for the information. If we have to upgrade to a latest release 11G it looks we can from 10.1.3.5, any suggestions we should consider 11.1.1.5 or 11.1.1.3? Not sure if these release are in sync with target KM's like Essbase & Planning on EPM front we are on 11.1.1.3

  • Upgrade path from HFM 9.3.1.4 to Fusion 11.1.2

    Is there an upgrade path from HFM 9.3.1.4 to Fusion 11.1.2? I see in the EPM 11.1.1.3 config guide that there was an upgrade section, but this seems to be missing from the 11.1.2 config guide. How do we move an existing application from 9.3.1.4 to 11.1.2? Does it have to be rebuilt via extracts and loads? Don't we lose information that way? (audit logs, reconsolidate, etc.)

    I have heard there is no upgrade utility for 9.3.1 to 11.1.2. You would need to recreate the app. There will soon be an upgrade available for 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1. Not sure on the timing, but the last time I spoke with support they were saying sometime in Nov/Dec.

  • Standard Upgrade Path from VMWare Server?

    I've been using VMWare Server for years to test my software. Specifically I have 2 "beige box" PCs running CentOS running VMWare Server running various versions of Windows Server as domain controllers and file servers as well as numerous workstations. I have a complete mini multi-domain Windows network. When I run the tests for my software it really pushes the 2-3 vms involved with a lot of network communication and some disk activity.
    With care and some brute force this has worked well. At least I don't need a stack of PCs. And it's free so it's hard to complain. But unfortunately it's not terribly reliable. The web interface stops working - sometimes only after a day. Clocks drift causing authentication issues. Generally bad things happen if I try to run more than 2 images on the same server. I've gotten to be pretty good at combating these problems but I'm hoping to find something a little more reliable.
    So now I'm willing to actually pay for something (gah!) and I would like to upgrade. But VMWare has so many products I just have no idea what I should be looking for.
    What is the standard upgrade path from VMWare Server?
    Mike

    Ok. Two people say use ESXi so I guess I'll just try to burn an ESXi DVD and see what it's like. But ...
    Is performance really good enough to compile large projects and do backups over and so on?
    VMware Server has worked well enough for me over the years but performance was not like real hardware. But the real problem was reliability. If I ran more than 2 VMs at a time, eventually they would just get their tentacles in a tangle and I would have to kill them and delete lock files and bah! I'm going to assume by your endorsement that ESXi doesn't have any of these problems.
    Also, the machine I'm using is a lowly DELL i660 i3-3240 with 8GB of memory. I paid $429 USD for it at a local consumer electronics store! This is no server. Will it even work?

    If you mean from Photoshop 12.x (CS5) to Photoshop 13.x, the answer is YES.
    If you actually meant from Photoshop 5.x to Photoshop 6.x, then the answer would be NO.  Those are ancient programs that have been out of any upgrade loop for well over a decade. 

  • Upgrade path from Unity / Exchange to Unity Connection 7.1

    Has anyone found (perhaps doesn't exist) an upgrade path from Unity / Exchange 4.1 to Unity Connection 7.1?

    It will likely require a new server, but I just performed this migration.  You also have to be on Unity 4.0(5) or higher in order to perform the migration.  You use the COBRAS Export tool for Unity to grab the majority of system data and the COBRAS Import tool for Connection to migrate data over.  Read up on COBRAS here:

  • Upgrade path from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server

    Just curious what the method is for upgrading a server currently running snow L. to Lion. Do you just buy the app and install? Will everything "reboot" exactly as is was? (Users, groups, share points, security settings, firewall, etc)
    As you can imagine any changes to a server in an office environment can be stressful.
    Also if anyone has successfully upgraded their servers to Lion and has feedback I would appreciate it.
    - C42D

    Hi there,
    I would wait a little to have the early bugs in both OS X Lion and OS X Lion Server sorted out.
    One common upgrade path i follow :
    - Backup system disk
    - Backup data disk
    Why save both disk for an upgrade (as you already backup the data disk don't you ? ) and not only system ?
    Imagine that once you update your server to OS X Lion Server, it updates some data too (mail database and so on) and you want to go back to OS X Snow Leopard Server...that would render your data unusable !
    Regarding OS X Server in general:
    - Backup Open Directory
    - Backup Services configuration
    Hope that helps

  • Upgrade path from CCP 9.3R2 to 9.3.2

    Hi Team,
    Can someone help on the process involved in upgrading a CCP9.3 R2 environment to 9.3.2.
    Is the upgrade faily straight forward or do we have to do some customizations to make this happen??
    I have a CCP 9.3R2 and CPO 2.2 in a DEV system, have lot of custom content in this environment.
    I am upgrading CPO 2.2 to CPO 2.3 engine but not importing the content because I have custom content built on 2.2.
    I am liking to know the process doing an upgrade for CCP
    - is the inplace upgrade of CCP 9.3R2 to 9.3.2 valid???
    OR
    - building new CCP 9.3.2 and export / import content from 9.3 R2 to 9.3.2 valid??
    Thanks
    Satish

    CCP upgrade should be straight forward. Refer to the CCP doc for upgrade paths and instructions. You would have to test the content you built in 9.3 R2 as I do not know all the inner parts difference in the two versions.

  • Possible Upgrade Path from ALUI 6.1 to Webcenter Interaction 10gR3

    We are in the planning stages of an upgrade. Currently we are using ALUI 6.1 MP1 and wish to upgrade to WebCenter Interaction 10gR3. I am wonderng if the upgrade path is ALUI 6.1 MP1 --> ALUI 6.5 MP1 --> WCI 10gr3?
    Is it possible to go directly from ALUI 6.1 MP1 to WCI 10gR3?

    I was told that I could install from 6.1 to 10G. Which I did...
    what you need to remember is to run the upgrade scripts to your database from 6.1 to 6.5, and then upgrade scrip from 6.5 to 10G. thats all, but you do not have to run the install for 6.5, just go directly to 10G.

  • Is there an upgrade path from Logic Pro 9 to Logic Pro X?

    I convinced a friend to purchase Logic Pro 9, not knowing version X was about to be released 3 weeks later.   Even though upgrade path always crosses my mind prior to a software purchase, I was not worried - this was Apple.  Now it's looking like there's not a built-in upgrade path at all (as there IS with just about every other software company I have bought from).  Is this for real?  This friend has version 9, and I have version X.  So this friend learned everything there is to know about version 9, then I bought version X not even knowing we were out of synch on versions.   We were hoping to work on songwriting together, but paying $200 again is out of the question.  I notice that the file save under version X has extension .logicx, so is it even possible to exchange files?

    my friend with Logic Pro 9 can send files to me but they cannot accept files created with Logic Pro X.
    Which is exactly what i said earlier....
    You can open Logic Pro 9 projects in LPX but not the other way around.
    Apple wouldn't even give me a refund on Logic Pro X (purchased just 3 days ago), which is useless to me now.
    There are no refunds from the App Store... That is what you agreed to when you purchased a license for LPX.
    Your choice is simply for your friend to update to Logic Pro X or use the audio stem process I outlined earlier (Not something i would recommend doing for any period of time)... or spend even more money on purchasing two copies of a different DAW...  and taking the time to learn them and spending time converting over what your friend has already created... and hope your friend hasn't been using the internal plugins found only in Logic Pro... otherwise you have even more work to do...
    The reality is, the sensible solution is simply to upgrade LP9 to LPX for $200... (and think of it as the upgrade price even though you can buy the full version for the same amount but that really doesn't matter does it?) Less outlay, less time lost and less hassle, but as always the choice is yours...
    I have never, EVER, encountered a software company that treated customers that way.
    Then you haven't been in the computer business that long......
    Seriously though, you haven't been treated that badly...
    You bought LPX at a price that is basically a steal.... and your friend bought LP9 at the same 'deal' of a price.. compared to what Logic Pro used to cost ($1000)
    You can 'upgrade' from LP9 to LPX for $200 which is much cheaper than it used to cost to upgrade from , say LP8 to LP9... and the same price as it cost to upgrade to LP9 via the App Storeprior to the release of LPX
    The alternatives at this stage would cost you much more money......time.. and hassle..
    The only things that truly frustrating is the timing of your friend's purchase of LP9... For that he has my sympathies but it happens... Some people who bought Logic Pro 9 within a month of Logic Pro X being released were given refunds on the LP9 purchase if they bought LPX... Your friend just left it way too late.... Apple has since stopped such refunds.... and you didn't do the research you should have done before you jumped in and bought LPX... Unfortunate but sadly true.
    Again, you and your friend have my sympathies for whatever they are worth... but at least the obvious solution is still cheap compared to what the alternatives could cost you now and in the past!

  • Upgrade path from Riverbed Whitewater V110 to AltaVault Virtual Appliance

    Hi,
    We have users on the V110 model of the virtual appliances of Whitewater (Riverbed edition) that haven't transitioned to the NetApp varients as yet.
    What would be the upgrade path if they wanted to keep running a virtual on-premise SteelStore/AltaVault?
    Would there need to be an intermediate step to SteelStore 3.2 between Whitewater (3.1.2a) and AltaVault?
    Thanks
    Garth

    Hi Garth,To get to the AltaVault release, you'll do this in 2 phases. 1. Upgrade the software. This is done by downloading the 3.2.2 code from mysupport.netapp.com and then installing it on the current v110. Use the Configure > Maintenance > Service page to stop the optimization service, then use the Configure > Maintenance > Software upgrade page to update it with the downloaded image. Reboot after the update is done. 2. Migrate to AltaVault software. This is done by following the instructions in Appendix A. of the Install Guide for Virtual Appliances:https://library.netapp.com/ecm/ecm_download_file/ECMP12455064 Regards,Christopher
