I am running OS 10.4.11 - can I upgrade this iMac to anything more current? I am lost, pls help!
I cannot seem to upgrade browsers until I upgrade OS, but I cannot seem to figure out whether I can actually upgrade OS - what am I missing?
You can get the latest web browser on your machine.
TenFourFox -- It's a port of the latest FireFox to run on older hardware and software.
"World's most advanced web browser. Finely tuned for the Power PC."
-- works for me on 10.4. Supports 10.5

alternative download site:

Turn on pipelining. This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server. Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

My imac5.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16Ghz 2GB memory is running mac OS 10.4.11 can I upgrade this operating system on my machine to enable me to upgrade browsers etc.? What is the latest OS system and would it work on my machine?
Although you can go to 10.7 Lion, I suggest buying 10.6 Snow Leopard which you need anyway.
It seems that you can go to 4GB memory, which may help. If you do want to try Lion, it's not in the online store, but should be available by calling & paying to get a redemption code.
You should check compatibility of any existing software before considering Lion. -

wanting to run litmus on server2008r2 i can not report this OS , do you NOT wish testing firefox on servers ?'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

"You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X"
I have a 3 week old MacBook Pro 2.66 (4GB RAM) bought online with the Leopard 10.5.8 Operating System installed. I've tried to install Snow Leopard tonight and it gives me the message "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X." How can that be? I've tried the REPAIR DISK option and it says that my internal HDD is OK - in green. Yet I am unable to install the new OS. What gives?
Message was edited by: Jeff LittleJeff,
It is possible that you are "stuck in the middle." The build of Snow Leopard resident on the DVD may actually have been "solidified" prior to the build that came with your Mac. As a result, the Snow Leopard installer doesn't "recognize" what is currently running on your Mac. Put another way, it doesn't know how to go about upgrading that installation. Yours is the first case of this that I have seen, if that is indeed what is going on here.
Regardless of the cause, you do not have to "upgrade." You can simply erase what's currently on your Mac and install Snow Leopard. You'll want to have a good Time Machine backup first, of course, and I recommend you find a suitable external drive to do so, if you haven't already.
When you do have that backup, you can boot to the Snow Leopard installer, open Disk Utility to erase the internal hard drive, install Snow Leopard, then use the "Migration Assistant" to bring your user data and account(s) back into the new installation. You probably have not had much time to accumulate a bunch of third-party apps, so having to reinstall those should be no problem. Even if you have found some that you like, keep in mind that all of our user data and settings for those apps will already be back in place, along with your HOME folder(s).
If you need further instructions to complete any of the steps I have outlined, we'll be glad to help.

can i upgrade my imac 4,1 to run mavricks ?
No. You can try Lion:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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. -
My old MobileMe account surfaced when I was on a support call. I didn't discover it until the case was closed. How can I replace this obsolete account with my current iCloud account?
Do you mean that you were using the Apple ID which is your ex-MobileMe address? It's still an Apple ID, even though MobileMe itself is dead, and there's nothing to stop you from using it as an ID with Support, or logging in here or in iTunes with it. You should make sure you have a functioning non-Apple email address associated with it.
Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August last? If so, you can set up an iCloud account using it, or if you have already set up a new and separate iCloud account you can still log in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars so that it runs alongside your iCloud account.
If you didn't migrate you can still reactivate the address the same way.
Anything where you've logged in with the ex-MobileMe address, such as support for something you registered using it or a server such as iTunes, will need to continue using it. -

Can i upgrade my iMac desktop i5 to the i7
can i upgrade my iMac i5 to a i7
I suggest that you post a link to where you got that information so that we can, at least, evaluate whether or not that would be a possibility. I do know on older Macs (pre-Intel) that this was possible ... and that this option was typically provided by vendors other than Apple. However, even it this is possible with your Mac, there are other considerations to take into account than just a CPU change ... like memory, other supportive circuitry, etc.

Can we replace this SELECT query by more efficient code
can we replace this SELECT query by more efficient code ?:-
SELECT * FROM zv7_custord
INTO TABLE G_T_ZV7_CUSTORD
WHERE ( SENDER in S_SENDER and
ORDNUM in S_ORDER and
ZDATE in S_DATE ) OR
( SENDER in S_SENDER AND
STATUS = SPACE )
ORDER BY IDOCNUM.Hi
U can leave ORDER BY option and sort the table by yourself and try to split the query:
SELECT * FROM zv7_custord
INTO TABLE G_T_ZV7_CUSTORD
WHERE SENDER in S_SENDER and
ORDNUM in S_ORDER and
ZDATE in S_DATE .
SELECT * FROM zv7_custord
APPENDING TABLE G_T_ZV7_CUSTORD
WHERE SENDER in S_SENDER and
NOT ORDNUM in S_ORDER and
NOT ZDATE in S_DATE and
STATUS = SPACE
or
SELECT * FROM zv7_custord
INTO TABLE G_T_ZV7_CUSTORD
WHERE SENDER in S_SENDER and
ORDNUM in S_ORDER and
ZDATE in S_DATE .
SELECT * FROM zv7_custord
APPENDING TABLE G_T_ZV7_CUSTORD
WHERE SENDER in S_SENDER and
STATUS = SPACE.
* Sort the table key fields
SORT G_T_ZV7_CUSTORD BY <KEY1> <KEY2> .....
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM G_T_ZV7_CUSTORD COMPARING <KEY1> .....
