HT1443 I need to update or upgrade? I'm confused...
I am running Mac OS 10.4.11. I bought a new camera, and my software is too old. How do I update/upgrade? I need to be running 10.5.8, 10.6.8 or 10.7.2. Please help!
Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
It could run 10.6 as is, but really needs more Memory...
Your iMac can hold 3-4 GB of RAM...

You could run as high as 10.7.5 if Apple still has it available...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
• x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
• At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
• Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
• At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

New employer needs website update. Upgrade of Microsoft Expression Web or use WordPress?
I have to update my new employer's outdated drab website. I haven’t developed a website since Microsoft Expression Web in 2011. This is a small company of 10. They want no bells/whistles, just a static site.
Do I need to upgrade my Microsoft Windows Expressions, and if so, to what in order to accommodate all the new devices everybody's using. An IT friend told me to use WordPress, where I can get templates that will scale appropriately
for other devices. Any advice out there would sure help.Wordpress and EW are apples and oranges. Both are fruits, but do they need a content management system and/or blog, or not? If it's a simple site you will be developing, you can use EW. (It doesn't matter which version, but
the latest EW4 is completely free.) You can create a responsive site in EW, which is what you need for a site that is flexible across device sizes. Much as you can find already built Wordpress themes that are responsive, you can find templates
for responsive websites that you can use in EW. A quick google search brings up many results. Clicking on one randomly (completely randomly - I've not used this and am not promoting it):
http://www.rtbwizards.com/ and an example template preview is at:
http://www.rtbwizards.com/webs/4551/two-columnA.html Shrink your browser window to narrow and watch what happens to the content and to the menu at the top of the page. That
template is not free, but it is very cheap. ...And so on. -

I'm running 10.5.8 on a MacBook Pro and need to update to Java 7 to take software assessment tests online for a potential job. What can I do?
Apple Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 10
Apple Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 17
Apple Java 2013-005
I would suggest you upgrade your computer's OS minimally to Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
Snow Leopard General Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
2. 1GB of memory
3. 5GB of available disk space
4. DVD drive for installation
5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
terms apply.
Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.
B. Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply. -
Do I need to update Bootcamp 3.3 after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion?
Do I need to update Bootcamp 3.3 after upgrading directly from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion? If so, what is the recommended version for my machine?
Other pros and cons we should consider? Not sure what is considered best practice.
We have a mid-2011 iMac (12,1) running Win7 64bit. Concerned about firmware updates not being compatible with Bootcamp 3.3. Firmware updates forThunderbolt port were part of post-Mountain Lion updater install. Not sure what other firmware/boot changes might have been applied to support the new recovery partition, for example. Will the 3.3 windows control panel still work safely?
Win7 still boots OK, at least for now. Backup is current.
I'd like to get the entire machine current again. Bootcamp 5.0 didn't want to download (appeared to hang writing to my external drive, which is otherwise fine). Bootcamp 4.1 refused to install on Win7 (claimed it wasn't for my machine, so I aborted. Downloaded from apple support page directly).
I've searched the forums for this specific question - I see plenty of info for upgrading Bootcamp 4 to 5, but nothing for 3 to 5.
Thanks much in advance,
-bAppreciate the quick response.
There are basically 2 schools of thought here:
- If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
- Don't fall off the upgrade cycle (apply patches whether you have an issue or not in order to ward off trouble before it happens).
I don't have a specific issue that I'm chasing on the Win7 side right now. I'm attempting to address having fallen off the upgrade cycle by staying on Snow Leopard too long.
I appreciate that the Win7 side under bootcamp is its own thing (upgrades to Mac OS don't cross over or effect the bootcamp partition) - except where firmware upgrades coming out of Mountain Lion change the hardware interface to Win7. Hence my questions.

I'm running LR 4.4. Just picked up a Sony RX100 M3 cam. It's RAW files are not supported within my version. Is there a free update still available for my version or do I need to purchase an upgrade to LR 5?
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The Sony RX100 III was first supported in Lightroom 5.5.
There will be no updates for older versions.
So your choices:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all Raw files from the RX100 III to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4.4

The update vs. upgrade paths are very confusing. I'm running OS X v10.5.8 and trying to figure out what versions I need to purchase/download in order to become current.
Thank you!Phone the Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and run Software Update. If your Mac supports it, buy 10.7 or 10.8 from the Mac App Store.

I am currently using OS X and need to update to 10.5 in order to upgrade and/or update softwares. I do not have the APP store option....I cannot even download Itunes. Any thoughts
You don't need 10.5. Skip it and buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

Qosmio G20-102 (PQG20): Vista Upgrade Advisor says I need drivers update
My Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor says that i need the few following things,
-Review these device issues for Windows Vista-
Check the following table for device issues you should address to ensure they will work properly with Windows Vista
> Bluetooth ACPI from TOSHIBA
-Cannot find information on these devices- (Even though it says these devices can be updated after upgrading to Vista, i don't want to risk anything.)
>TOSHIBA RAID Virtual Device
>TOSHIBA ACPI-Compliant Value Added Logical and General Purpose Device
>Bluetooth RFCOMM
>Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated FlashMedia Controller
-Review these program issues for Windows Vista-
Check the following table for program issues you should address to ensure they will work properly with Windows Vista.
>Sonic DLA (Not really important, the rest are tho)
>Alps Pointing-device Driver (Isn't this the touchpad?)
>TOSHIBA Utilities
>Microsoft Interactive Training (Don;t know what this is..)
Thank you in advance for all your help, i tried searching the Tishiba Download Centre for some updates but none of them are very recent.Hello Magnus
Nice info. Thanks. But please be careful. Those drivers are designed for US notebooks and it is nice if they work with EMEA notebooks.
For example I dont like to mix it but there should not be much difference. The problem can be with Toshiba tools and utilities only and because of that I recommend you to install from Toshiba Europe download page, when available. -
i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..
I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help -
CPU upgrade - do I need to update bios??
I got a KT3 Ultra 2 6380E mobo with Bios V5.60 and I want to put in a AMB 2600+ Barton (333)
Do I need to update my bios to V5.70???
I dont really want to flash it unless I have to - On the MSI bios update monitor it aint clear if V5.60 supports the 'batron' 2600 as well as the normal XP 2600 cpu
And a little second point about clearning CMOS - again is this needed when upgradeing CPUs? - Can I damage anything if I aint got the correst Bios or not cleared the CMOS ??
