I'm still on 10.4.11... Anyone have the most "proficient" steps to get to LION???

I'm trying to make the jump to Lion, yet want to make it with the fewest steps possible.  Any advice on what OSs must me installed in order to make the transition?
Thank you!

As Ancient_One has stated, the flash drive on the Apple Store is the best choice, but you need to keep in mind that any machine that shipped with Tiger is going to be pretty much rock bottom on the system requirements list, if it even meets the requirements at all.  Lion requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM (and I've recently decided to upgrade my 4 GB, which was fine in SL, to 8 GB in Lion) and a minimum of an Intel Core 2 Duo processor (the Intel Core Duo is not adequate).
It's also extremely likely that at least some of the software you're using will be incompatible.  Do not upgrade until you have checked compatibility of all your software.  Remember things like printer and scanner drivers!

  • TS3159 Some songs that I've bought on iTunes won't play on my iPhone 3GS even though they used to and they will still play on iTunes.  Anyone know what I can do to get these songs to play on my iPhone again?

    No, I haven't figured it out.  And no one from Apple has contacted me to help.  Very frustrating.  Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
    Do you have a 3GS too?  Maybe it's something with that phone??

    I just tested it (on 10.6.8) and it worked perfectly well, so it may be something on your computer. You could try creating a new user account on your Mac and using that to try downloading. You can then install on that account and it will be available on your normal one.

  • Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks

    Hi, my wifi button just greyed out a few minutes ago and I can't connect to wifi. Have followed instructions given by Apple support but it's still not working. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks & Happy New Year :-)

    First, you don't have a 5+ year old 3GS. The 3GS has only been around for under 4 years. In fact, 5 years ago there were NO iPhones; the original iPhone (2 generations before the 3GS) came out on June 29, 2007 - not quite 5 years ago. The 3GS was released June 19, 2009.
    That aside, you can sync multiple phones to one computer - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495. boogeyman is wrong. It is 100% safe to create an additional user name on her computer, log in with that name, and back up the phone. See this for details on what you want to do: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • Anyone have the correct settings for iCloud in Outlook 2011 with OS X 10.7.2 ?

    I have tried setting up iCloud in my outlook 2011 on my iMac. I get an error "[AUTHENTICATION FAILED] Authentication failed] Your username/password or security settings may be incorrect.
    I have tried several posted settings, for example:
    Incoming Server: imap.mail.me.com
    Checked Use SSL
    Port 993
    Outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com
    Checked Overrise default port
    Checked Use SSL
    Port 587
    I have also tried adding p99- in front of both server names, still didn't work.
    Anyone have a solution?

    Just an FYI Julian, Unfortunately in that document MicroSoft have given the Mobile Me server addresses so it doesn't work with iCloud.
    If you substitute iCloud server addresses (imap.mail.me.com etc) these instructions work.

  • Does anyone have the Sony HDR-XR500V video camera??

    Does anyone have the Sony HDR-XR500V video camera??
    Is it compatible with a G5 PowerPC? Any pros? or cons? Please advice.

    I'd stay away from Sony unless you are buying pro stuff, but even then...
    Sony software is only compatible with windows & their mac support is pretty much non-existant.
    plus, hard drive camcorders are a terrible idea! if you start having problems, poof, there goes the hours of footage. Even the Sony cams that use flash cards are a bad choice - you usually have to buy their magic gate cards.
    I'd stick with Panasonic or Canon cameras that are SDHC+Internal or just SDHC. AT least this way the cards can be replaced, you can expand the memory, & it's SD - much cheaper to buy than the magic gate cards.
    check out camcorderinfo.com for more info & reviews.
    Now, to import your footage, you will need an app like Voltaic as importing AVCHD with Apple's video apps is only supported on Intel machines. You can still edit with iMovie or Final Cut - the versions that support HD, but the initial import from the camera will have to be done with the 3rd party utility.

  • Last update for OS 10.8.2 caused big problems with HP photosmart B110 printer /scanner cannot scan does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

    iMac is connected via wirelss to printer/scanner. All was working OK until update.

    Assuming that the HP software is up-to-date, but still not working, have you tried Image Capture in the Applications folder. Does that work?

    Hi Thomas,
    I can confirm the problem you are hitting. The XML test trace does not get recognized at all, and it defaults to Eclipse's basic Open File behaviour. I am not sure if it's because the format definition is missing, or if it's because something prevents the trace type from being recognized. I will open a bug about it.
    Thanks for identifying this issue!
    In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment with XML analyses, you can also take a look at the example at https://github.com/tracecompass/xml-analysis-example .
    Cheers,
    Alex

  • My Ipad is saying that I have the most recent update (5.1.1) when I clearly do not. It will not allow me to update to i0S8. Does anyone know what I need to do to get to the newest update?

    My Ipad which has a capacity of 28.5 GB (and I have used less than 10), is telling me when I want to update the ios system that I have the latest version (which they say is 5.1.1). This is not true. As I need version ios8 to download apps. Can anyone tell me why I cannot download the latest version and why my ipad keeps telling me I have the most recent version? I went into my Itunes account and tried to update it there while connected, but it is also telling e I have the latest version (5.1.1) too! Why is this happening and what can I do to obtain the upgrade?

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

  • PLEASE HELP! Does anyone have the software for the old 20" cinema display?

    CAN ANYONE HELP?! Does anyone have the software for the old 20" cinema display model number M88932M/A? (brought early 2004- the version with no control button) I can't find my manual or software CD for my Apple Display anywhere - I can't remember if the screen was even shipped with them. Because do not have this software I can't control anything to do with my screen e.g the brightness/contrast etc.
    I can't find the link to download the software anywhere on the apple website! (I have spent hours looking). If you know the link, I'd be really grateful if you could email it to to me. Or does anyone have the software CD that I could borrow and then return immediately? Please get in touch if you do. Many thanks! email address: [email protected]

    Hi Nathan,
    Thank you so much that was very kind of you! You must have the same screen as me as mine is the clear fronted on too.
    I have downloaded the OS X version, When I went to install it, but I got a message up saying the software was already on my machine. It must part of the Tiger OS, becuase I haven't installed anything.
    I have a quick question for you . . . Should the software you put up for me enable to me run "Display Calibrator Assistant" in the System preference or is the software from the CD hidden something else and I am looking in the wrong place on my mac?
    I did read somewhere when I got under the apple menu there should be a "monitor" menu - I don't have that but that maybe a classic thing?
    Many thanks for you help I really appreciate it!

    I'm trying to delete multiple pix in iPhoto that i stupidly made duplicates of without knowing, I've tried going into the applications folder and using image capture but i think I've missed a step , can anyone send the correct info / steps pls thanks

    again image capture is not involved with deleting photos from iPhoto in any way ever
    the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager is very good for finding duplicates as is Duplicate Annihilator
    And I have no idea who told you this - or what it means - but re-read both of my opening statements
    I was told I could delete multpiles thru image capture by transferring my iPhoto library etc

  • Anyone have a syggestion on how to get my Ipod touch working again besides putting it into restore mode

    Anyone have any ideas on how to get an Ipod touch to charge or sync without putting it into restore mode, I've prettymuch tried everything thats been put online so far

    Tried DFU mode?
    To do this follow these instructions:
        1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the Computer's USB port. Turn on your Computer's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
        2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
        3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
        4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your Computer as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
        5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
        6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
    Once you have done this click restore and iTunes sould start to dowbnload and install the latest firmware.
    #Please note this will reset your iDevice to factory settings
