If i update from 10.6.8 to mavericks on one long in and say i have two longins, will it update both or just the one, and will it delete any saved docs in the process regaurdless
little unsure with all this so i might be typing it in a few extra spots
If i update from version 10.6.8 to mavericks on one user login will it update both if i have two logins on the mac. and if it does update both logins on the mac will it delete any documents saved on either of the logins.
please and thank you could really use the feed back and support and it would be much appreciated.
Upgrading the OS is a system wide thing. So all users will receive the upgrade.
It should not delete files and such. However, if you have for example files made with Pages '09. Then the new Pages that comes with Mavericks will make a copy of those files so you can continue to edit them. But those new files can not be opened in Pages '09. BUT again, some people perfer Pages '09 and they use that still. Mavericks will just hide Pages '09, it's still usable in Mavericks just hidden.
To be safe, make a back up of your system before doing any major upgrade.

Dear sir,
When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. This problem was not there in the older versions less than 3.6.8. Even the browser speed has gone down. This is everyday problem with this browser.
Pls suggest ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,

If I update from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and I have a time machine backup, can I do a full restore back to 10.6.8 and resume as if I had never updated if there is a problem? Probably an answer I should know but I don't. Thanks in advance! (instruction suggestions welcomed)

Updating from 10.6.8 to Mavericks troubleshooting help
Hi there...Updating from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I have a 2010 white MacBook. When I go to AppStore, I am able to click on Mavericks app to install it, but the download does not appear to be doing anything. I have scoured (scoured!) the web for hours for info and a solution, but to no avail. Getting nervous as I bought this Macbook used today. Thanks for any input in advance...Peace and love, peace and love.

After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
(Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
Details:
G4 Gigabit Ethernet
Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
1.5 Gig Ram
I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
I zapped the pram.
In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
Any help greatly appreciated.Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
Problem solved.
In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
"If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
Gratefully,

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?
Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

On Pages, let's say you have two similar documents. Two versions of the same document, but not merged in Cloud and saved as two separate files. B ut you need to compare the two to see the differences, some things on one, but not in the other. In Word, they would merge the two and differences would be highlighted in red. Is there a way to do something like that?
Not actually in Pages, but there is third party software that purports to do this, google around.

My time capsule is full and when I attempt to back up, I only receive a preparing back up message and the earliest and most recent back up dates remain the same. Why are the oldest backups not being deleted to make room for the newest backups?

It may be in the process of making room. What version of OSX are you on? (That process can be excruciatingly slow on Leopard or Snow Leopard backups over a network; Lion has improved it greatly.)
A clue may be lurking in your logs. Use the widget in #A1 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to display the backup messages from your logs. That should help you figure out what's going on. If in doubt, copy and post them here (but if the same ones repeat over and over, drop most of the duplicates).
If you can, connect via Ethernet; it will be 2-3 times faster. -
Photoshop updated and now I have two versions ...
Hello,
I'm new to photoshop and creative cloud. I purchased photoshop cc a few weeks ago. It then updated and I now have two versions: photoshop cc and photoshop cc (2014). they both keep updating, I presume for good reason, but I'm not sure why I have two versions.
Do I need both? if not, which is the version I should have? and how to I get rid of the other?
Thanks in advance.Good day!
Photoshop CC 2014 is the "newer" one, several features that are valuable to some users have been abandoned in this version (Flash Panels, Oilpaint Filter, …), though.

You can just keep both versions, but as a relative newcomer you might be better off going with Photoshop CC 2014.

I tried updating my iphone 4 using itunes but i keep getting a message saying iphone software server could not be contacted. What does this mean and how do I fix my iphone which appears to be in recovery mode.

You need to contact iTunes support and send an email by following the link I posted.
Simply going there does nothing. -
I have two iPhone 4 at home, slow slow downloads. One of them I've tested WiFi at work, Same issue. e.g. Apps take forever to download over WiFi compared to a AT&T-3G connection.
I have only just got an iphone 4 which I immediately updated to ios7 so have nothing to compare it with. But it doesn't even see networks that come up clear on the macbook. Same thing for a colleague in the same spot. previously I had an android phone which picked up just fine.

App store says I have two updates but noting displays
App store says I have two updates but noting displays? any one have any ideals, by the way this is happing on both of my ipad mini's.
Well, try this instead:
From Demo:
If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.
I'm sure things will get straightened out with Apple's servers. Just learn to be patient. -
