You can directly install Mountain Lion 10.8.0 to 10.6.8, and then apply the 10.8.2 Update.
Hope this helps

HT3819 what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless. A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

What's the best way to create sub-totals & grand-total in SQL2008 R2 (and beyond)?

What is the easiest way to get sub totals and a grand total on data that is being grouped? It looks like RollUp might work, but it's being depreciated.
My query is:
SELECT
COMPANY
,INVSTR_CD
,STATE_C
,SUM(CO_SHARE_TOTBAL) as CO_SHARE_TOTBAL
FROM #ASSET AS A
WHERE A.D_GETIT = 'Y'
GROUP BY COMPANY, STATE_C, INVSTR_CD
ORDER BY COMPANY, INVSTR_CD, STATE_C
I need to provide a sub-total of the SUM'd field (SUM(CO_SHARE_TOTBAL) as CO_SHARE_TOTBAL), at the change of the COMPANY field.
Then a Grand Total of all the SUM'd fields (SUM(CO_SHARE_TOTBAL).
Thanks in advance!!

If you post DDL of your table (only relevant columns) and some data and desired output, I may try to reproduce it. Did you check Jacob's blog post and the very last query? It does take a few trials before getting this correct.
Naomi,
I did try the last query on Jacob's post. I couldn't get the first column to populate.
Thanks for the offer of help.
DML is:
Create Table #ASSET2 (
[COMPANY] [varchar] (5) NULL
,[INVSTR_CD] [varchar](5) NULL
,[STATE_C] [char](2) NULL
,[SHARE_TOTBAL] [decimal] (15,2) NULL)
Data is:
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('00000','099 ','FL','115226.77')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('22222','030 ','CA','309899.43')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('00000','010 ','CA','524296.89')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('00000','099 ','IL','51699.70')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('00000','789 ','PA','90856.04')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('22222','010 ','CA','66951.33')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('00000','099 ','CA','310046.03')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('00000','010 ','AZ','178062.08')
Insert into #ASSET2 VALUES ('00000','099 ','NY','278489.10')
Desired results would be the following:

00000 010 AZ 178062.08
00000 010 CA 524296.89

What's the best way to upgrade FF 3.6.16 to FF 4 and begin using Sync across multiple platforms?

I love the look and features of FF 4. I recently bought a new laptop for the road and would like to have my FF environment on it --without recreating all of my bookmarks and passwords on it; so it looks like FF4 is the way to go.
Seems like there are two ways to do this...
1) Download FF4 to my desktop (curr. running 3.6.16) and hope that it keeps all my personal browsing info as past FF upgrades have, then add-on Sync, create an account, which I can then use on my new laptop w/o having to re-save a lot of bookmarks and organize a bunch of folders.
-or-
2) Start using Sync ( or Xmarks? in 3.6.16) on my desktop, create the account and then access that browsing environment on my laptop (running FF4) then upgrade my desktop to FF4.
Any recommendation as to which works better, or is less painful?
Anything to watch out for? or steps I've missed?

When you upgrade it will use your existing user data including bookmarks, passwords, cookies and browsing history.
I have been using Firefox Sync since it was in an early development stage about 2 years ago. I have gone through a few upgrades to Firefox since then with no problems during the upgrades. I recommend going to Firefox 4 first because Firefox Sync is built into it so there will be no need to install the add-on.
If required you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6.16

What is the best way to switch between two sets of bookmarks, say 'work' and 'private'?

I want to use to sets of bookmarks, so that when I'm working, I'm not distracted by my non-work bookmarks and vice versa. For the last couple of months, I've been using two user accounts to achieve this, but it's a bit of a PITA. Links from other applications, like Thunderbird mail are opened in the default profile. This means when I'm not at work and I click a link in an email, a new window is opened with my Firefox work profile.
All I need is a trick or an extension to quickly switch bookmark sets. Or a way to switch profiles without opening a new Firefox window. Any ideas?

You can't get Firefox to work as you are explaining you want. The Default Profile can't be changed on-the-fly to the Profile you are currently using. That message "Firefox is already running ..." comes up due to you or "something" trying to open a 2nd (or subsequent) Profile, unless that '''-no-remote''' command was used to open the additional Profile. And '''-no-remote''' won't work to open the Default Profile without causing issues with how Windows works with "calling up" the Default Browser.
In response to your last statement - '''''"To separate my work and private stuff I only need to change the contents of my bookmarks bar, so I hoped there was some trick to maintain to groups of bookmarks."'''''
This extension will allow you to change the Bookmarks Toolbar folder while you are using Firefox.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/set-as-bookmarks-toolbar-folde/
I just installed that extension and verified that it still works in Firefox 35.
There is a context menu item added for '''"Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"'''' that appears when the Bookmarks Menu Bar drop-down menu is used (not in the Library window or the Bookmarks Sidebar). That menu item appears when you right-click a folder in the Bookmarks Menu folder. It doesn't appear with the "Bookmarks Toolbar" folder or the "Unsorted Bookmarks" folder - only a folder that is in the "Bookmarks Menu".
That should "solve" wanting to have two different settings for the Bookmarks Toolbar, but the Default Profile "thing" is still an issue for what you are trying to accomplish. I don't "see a fix" for that - without resorting to a 2nd Window User Account which is what I thought you were referring to by "I've been using two user accounts to achieve this" in your initial posting.
And since the Menu Bar is hidden by default these days, you can use '''Alt''' then '''B''' to open the Bookmarks drop-down from the "revealed" Menu Bar so you can access that '''"Set as Bookmarks Toolbar Folder"''' menu item - without having to show the Menu Bar all the time.
''BTW, using "accounts" in lieu of "Profiles" can be confusing when discussing Firefox Profiles.''

What is the best way to transfer my Yahoo mail account email, email folders and contacts to Mac Mail?

A new version of Yahoo Mail has unexpectedly been dumped on long time users a few days ago, leaving many of us with functions that no longer work and are unstable. There was no announcement of a Beta or a possibility of retaining the old Yahoo Mail. It was like "Here it is, like it or not. We don't care."
My son said "Why don't you use another email client?". I thought of Mac Mail immediately. I have found a lot of instructions as to how to move my Yahoo mail components, and they sound pretty easy, but what I haven't found is what happens to my Inbox email, my archived email and my contacts. Do I have to move all those components to Mac Mail manually, and if so, will they now reside on my hard drive? Maybe I'm getting in over my head here. Some of the instructions say all I need is just my Full Name, Email address and Password. I guess I'm a cynic. It just sounds too good to be true. What happens to the stuff that was on Yahoo?
I have a couple of other reputable email accounts, but I would have to go through all my friends and businesses and inform them of the changed email addy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ktaggart

I've never bothered w/Yahoo Mail latest upgrades or updates.
You can switch back to the old version of Yahoo Mail by going into your Yahoo Preferences and/or check the top right hand corner of its website.

I have just purchased an iphone 4 and it needs me to have the latest itunes on my computer. I have not upgraded by computer for some time and thought this is probably the time to do it.

Appreciate any help as I am out of practice. I used to be an old hand at this, but things have moved on since I didn't upgrade or use my computer as much!

The best way, really the only way, is to purchase Snow Leopard.
Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store.
Apple's price is $19.99, £14.00, €18.
Snow Leopard is not available to download from any legitimate source.
Once you install Snow Leopard, upgrade iTunes to version 10.7 or the latest, iTunes 11.
iTunes 10.6.3 is the last version of iTunes to support Mac computers with Mac OS X 10.5.8 with either Intel or PowerPC processors, but since you have an Intel iMac, the best solution is to purchase Snow Leopard. Leopard is no longer available from Apple and prices from aftermarket vendors can be unreasonably high.

What is the best way to clean up your mac and make it faster and run to an optimum level?

Hi Everyone, Hope all is well
Iv been running my mac pro for a long time now, its a Mac pro, 2x 2.26 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon. 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 Ram
Over time now it has become slower, at the moment its still running fine but im sure over time it has probabally collected unwanted data etc. i just dont want it to become a problem as its only going to be used more and more... i now notice that some of the regular programs which i open do take a little while longer to open and i sometimes see that little round Mac loading the sign (the round multicolor wheel).., is there a way to clean the mac up? so that it can run more smoothly and just a better over all feel.,,, the machine is still running beautifully but its time i give it more care and revive it a little more..
What are the best ways to do this, i dont trust any of these non apple based products which claim they can clean ur Mac etc.
Any solutaion and advice that u guys can give would be great and i would be very thankful
Thanks in advance

For immediate speed improvements, upgrade to a Solid State Drive and upgrade your conventional hard drives to new ones, because the newer ones are faster at reading and writing than the ones from 5 years ago.
By Re-installing your OS onto a solid state drive, the system will boot much faster, and your programs will launch much faster.
I use a small SSD (only 60GB) which contains only OS X and all my apps. All of my personal files are on the large mechanical hard drive. If you still use the drive that shipped with the Mac, then it might be a good idea to replace it.
Depending on what kind of work you do, then additional RAM will help. Swapping CPUs should only be done if you are really in need of the improvements they would bring.
You appear to have the 2009 dual-CPU Mac Pro, which is the most challenging model to swap CPUs into.

What is the best way to drop and recreate a Primary Key in the Replication Table?

I have a requirement to drop and recreate a primary key in a table which is part of Transaction replication. What is the best way to fo it other than remove it from replication and add again?
Thanks
Swapna

Hi Swapna,
Unfortunately you cannot drop columns used in a primary key from articles in transactional replication. This is covered in
Make Schema Changes on Publication Databases:
You cannot drop columns used in a primary key from articles in transactional publications, because they are used by replication.
You will need to drop the article from the publication, drop and recreate the primary key, and add the article back into the publication.
To avoid having to send a snapshot down to the subscriber(s), you could specify the option 'replication support only' for the subscription. This would require the primary key be modified at the subscriber as well prior to adding the article back in
and should be done during a maintenance window when no activity is occurring on the published tables.
I suggest testing this out in your test environment first, prior to deploying to production.

I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive. What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?

From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck

I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?

I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?

Hi Chaos2015,
Could you please specify whether you have Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard version.
You need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine and then install on the new one from a CD/DVD and then activate with the same serial key.
If you do not have installation media, then you can download the Pro version from the below mentioned link:
Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
Please note that you can activate the software on maximum two computers. For example: Your desktop at work and laptop at home
