I'm running the beta (not GM) version of Lion. How do I upgrade to the full version?

I'm running the developer beta version of Lion right now. When I try to update to the full version in the Mac App Store I get a message saying I have to remove the existing app first.
Obviously, that seems impossible.
What do I do?

I see there are a lot of new people to the developer world. If you have the GM release, you have the final. There is no need to format or reinstall. You have the same version as people are downloading today. When apple releases a point upgrade you will be able to update just like everyone else because the developer GM is the same as what has been released today. I have been a beta tester and developer all the way back to osx 10.0 so trust me you already have what apple released today.
All of that may no longer be true in Lion. The Mac App Store changes things. I would check the developer site for details when things settle down a bit.

Snow Leopard 10.6.3 upgrade issues.. I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded. Any suggestions?

I've tried to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. I run the full install and my computer restarts to complete the installation, but when it restarts the software has not upgraded. Any suggestions?

Are you booting from the retail disc to do the installation, or running it while booted from Macintosh HD?
It should work either way, but it doesn't always work when booted from Macintosh HD. The system files are supposed to be moved into place during the restart (while the HD is unmounted) making for a long restart time which sometimes causes people to think somethings wrong and abort it. Which is a bad move.
If you're booting from the retail disc it's less obvious what the problem may be; however if you've tried it from booted from the HD and it's failed, then tried booting from the disc, it will fail again because the system components are already on the HD in a disc image waiting to be moved into place.
Whichever way you were tryig, I'd try downloading OmnDiskSweeper (it's free) and using it to see if there's a large package (around 7-10 GB) lurking somewhere that may contain the installer files. If you do, you'll need to trash that before the installer will see a 'clean' system again.
It's also worth asking how much free space you have on your HD - if there's not enough for the installer to use for the temporary package or dmg, it'll fail.
Was there no warning dialogue after the unsuccessful install?

The Reset feature adds a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. I recommend hanging onto that for a few weeks in case you discover something essential that the Reset feature left behind.
This article has a list of what is migrated and what is not during a Reset, in case you're curious: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].

Just received a new Ipad Air, but IOS version is older than current IPad...can not load backup...How do I upgrade IOS version?

Just received a new Ipad Air, but IOS version is older than current IPad...can not load backup...How do I upgrade IOS version?

In order to upgrade the new Air 2, I had to select "set up as new" from the menu. So, after the IOS upgrade is done, how do I "restore" the data that is backed up on icloud from my old Ipad? I don't see a menu item for that . . .
Thanks

Error in Source System while running the Full Load

HI Experts,
We are using 0CRM_UT_SRV_CONT_I datasource from CRM to extract data.
It is giving error while running the full load as 'Error Occured in Source system' with messaage Number : RSM340.
I want to mention certain points here:
1) In RSA3 its running fine.
2) Connection between BW and CRM system is OK.
3) We have replicated datasource and send active veriosn from Dev system.
4) When I run Init without data, Init set sucessful with entry in RSA7 in CRM.
5) Delta run fine with green status.
6) As source system is static client, hence do data for delta.
The Main issue happens when we run either the Full load or Init With Data transfer.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks
Mayank

Hi Mayank,
see in source system (CRM) with transaction SM21 and ST22 the error log and and then you let us know.

HT200117 I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion???

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion??? Help please!

http://www.apple.com/osx/specs See if your computer is compatible. Then, call Apple and buy Snow Leopard. Make a backup, insert the install DVD and upgrade. Finally, update Snow Leopard, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion

I have a Mac Book Pro and run Ver 10.5.8. I bought iLife today and it won't run on less than 10.6.3. How do I upgrade?

If you do, it will be shipped to you on DVD unless someone from Apple tells you otherwise.

Is it better to run a beta or dmg version of firefox

I am now running your 10.0 beta. On my home page it says that I am not running the latest version of firefox. Should I switch over to the 10.0 dmg. version?

Hi marvrose,
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
You should try changing your home page to:
about:home
If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps

Not enough space for iOS8 how can I upgrade from 6 to iOS7.2

How can I upgrade to iOS7.2 now that iOS8 is out. I can't go straight to iOS8 due to lack of space (8Gb machine). Looked elsewhaere but it is not clear how to force an upgrade to a none current version of the OS. Help gratefully received.

You will not be able to update to 7.1.2. That version is no longer supported for your device. The only option available to you is 8.
You're best bet is to update the phone via iTunes on a computer. This will keep the need to make room on the device to a minimum (if at all).

How do I upgrade trial to full version

Hi - I downloaded the LiveCycle Designer trial and now have ordered the full version How do I enter my new serial number? If I have to uninstall the trial, how do I make sure to take all the files out properly so I can install the full version?

They never answered. When I got my license key, I clicked the new download link they
sent me, without first uninstalling the old version, and I chose the default option, which
was something like "fix current installation" and it worked! Didn't even ask me for my
license key.

I have Photoshop Elements 11. I purchased a Canon 70D, which raw files are not supported by PE11. How can I upgrade the Camera Raw plug in? Thank you.

Please help: I cannot find any answer.

You need PSE12 to read your CR2 files. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.2
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

MacBook Pro not charging after OSX Lion 10.7.2 upgrade

After making the upgrade to OSx Lion 10.7.2 my MacBook Pro 2011 (2 months old) does not charge anymore, before worked perfectly.
Magsafe led was off, and battery indicator said power source is not connected. After the battery drained to empty, the magsafe turned on, but goes green to orange to off in cycles. During the cycles, the battery indicator was cycling also from calculating, not charging, etc. and the display was dimming like if I was plugin in and plugin off the magsafe connector. After having the computer connected during all night, now is charged but magsafe does not charge anymore.
I tried the SMC reset and chacked that firmware is up to date. Any clues of what is going on?

Thanks a lot for replying, but what exactly does the istat widget program do?
Also, the fan noise seems like a normal noise every time I launch a program, but it's getting to the point where I am frustrated(annoyed) of the fan noise. I would've thought that upgrading to a Mac book would cause less fan noise because of it's high processor. Sometimes I feel like I should go back to a Dell or HP because of this problem, but at the same time, I love my laptop. ;)

Not enough disk space. How do I upgrade it?

So basically, I have 75gb of overall space but only have about 3.8gb left now. I would like to somehow upgrade my overall disk space and i'm not sure what the best way to do that is. Is it best to go into an Apple store and ask them? If so, does anyone know what my options would be and approximately how much it would cost?
Also, how do I check what is taking up so much of my space because I have no idea?
Thanks,
Stefanie

For a larger hard drive try Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=380&name=Laptop-Hard-Dr ives&Order=PRICE
Or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/
Here are instructions on replacing the hard drive in a MacBook with a removable battery. http://creativemac.digitalmedianet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=45088
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then partition and format the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-5-SATA-HDD-HARD-DRIVE-EXTERNAL-ENCLOSURE-CASE-BOX-/120 636286623?pt=PCC_Drives_Storage_Internal&hash=item1c167ba69f
If you don’t have the tools to open up the MacBook OWC has a set for $5
