If I upgrade to Leopard, will it resolve the problems with my iMac?

I have one of the first intel-based iMacs that came out. I bought it in January of 2006. Is it having problems because there may be bugs in it?...since it is one of the first intel-based iMacs. Some problems that I have are: Safari freezes like crazy, iTunes freezes occasionally, Mail will sometimes shut down for no reason, iPhoto freezes, and sometimes the overall performance of the computer is slower than what it should be. I have plenty of hard drive space available, so I don't think that's the issue.
If I upgrade to Leopard will this resolve these problems? Or will it just slow my computer down even more? If that won't solve the problem, what else can I do to speed my computer up, and stop things from freezing?

Upgrading to Leopard in itself will not fix your system problems. However the act of doing a clean or Archive install of the system whether it be 10.4 or 10.5 could very well resolve your issues. So it's not necessarily the fact that you are upgrading rather doing a clean install. My recommendation would be to try and figure out your issues first then decide whether you want to upgrade or not.
How fast is your processor and how much RAM do you have? Have you installed all of Apple's software updates? A good starting point is to open up Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility select the hard drive on the left(the Mac OS X Volume) and click Repair Disk Permissions then Verify Disk. Repairing the Permissions is something that should be done often as regular maintenance and Verifying the Disk checks the volume directory for errors. If it finds any problems you will need to boot up the the install disk and run Disk Utility from there in order to Repair it. Afterwards Go to the Apple Menu/System Preferences/Startup Disk and make sure that the Mac OS X volume is selected as the startup system.

When Will Microsoft Fix The Problem With Hosted Networking on a Surface Pro 3?

Surface Pro 3 512GB
Windows 8.1 with all patches.
The following is from this thread:

A Microsoft member said it would be better to raise it in technet.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=test key=12345678
The hosted network mode has been set to allow.
The SSID of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been successfully changed.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
The hosted network couldn't be started.

One of the comments in the thread said:
"I have the same issue on a Surface pro 3.
It is related to the fact that they removed VAP support from the wifi driver."
Now a new wifi driver was included with the latest firmware update (01/15/2015) but it did not fix the problem.

Please note this is a Surface Pro 3 problem as it works on a Surface Pro 2 running Windows 8.1.
This problem has been reported to Microsoft by me and I was told "the developers are working on it." That was six months ago. I see posts going back a year saying the problem was reported to Microsoft Support.
When will this be fixed?

Do you have a case number? From

you've had a couple of contacts with support.
If you provide case numbers, it would be helpful in escalating further. And more
specifically, it might help someone from Microsoft determine IF the issue has
been escalated. While Microsoft has been doing work on the wifi driver for
nearly the entire time since the SP3 was released, there is no information
anywhere as to whether this bug is known or not.
As you also know, I sent it in to the"right" people inside Microsoft and as you
also know, I did not get a response. (I'm an end user just like you even though
I'm a Community Moderator on the Surface Forum in Communities).

Has Apple resolved the problems with the 23" display?

I want to buy a 23" cinema display but the color problem (pinkish hue) seems to still exist. Has Apple still not resolved this problem?
If this is the case, I'll buy the 20" display which I believe does not have any problems. Can someone confirm this?

There has not been any indication from Apple that any chnages have been made in the displays other than price cuts. There were some minor spec changes (which were "un-announced") but nothing about the panels or the many issues that have been discussed here since the introduction of these units.

When will Apple fix the problem with Freezing from the new upgrade??

I've had it.
Everytime I try to burn or back up my iTunes songs the whole program locks up as soon as I click on any of the brun or back up icons. Haven't been able to find any answers to solve my problem here although Apples tech support insists on looking here. Come on Apple what gives??

No one here would know that. An announcement would need to come from Apple.

Restoring Ipod - will it solve the problems with Itunes 9?

Does anybody know if restoring the ipod will allow it to sync again? I have had connection problems since 'upgrading' to Itunes 9.
I don't want to wipe my ipod, only to be unable to put anything back on, and be left with nothing!

I have an 80G iPod Classic completely out of warranty. Unfortunately everything has been fine with my ipod up until yesterday when I updated itunes to its latest version... Now my ipod constantly crashes and if I can manage to get itunes to recognize it the songs stay on just long enough for me to unplug then loose it all again.
Do you believe my ipod is done for good, or maybe just until Apple puts out another version?

When i upgrade to leopard will it keep ilife

when i upgrade to leopard will i have to reinstall ilife or will it go straight from tiger to leopard?

If you UPGRADE, you keep it all. If you clean install, by ay of Disk Utility on Leopard's install screen, you will lose iLife. Simply reinstall iLife and you are ok (if you own the iLife DVD) or if you want to use your recovery DVD, simply INSTALL BUNDLED SOFTWARE and you'll be fine.
It works - I did it today....for ALL my Mac's.

Hello,
For a few days I have been trying to access my files on Creative Cloud web without success. I´ve got this message only:
"Page temporarily unavailable. We will return soon."
"We are working quickly to resolve the problem and apologize for the delay.
Check back later or visit our website for status updates.
In addition, you can get help in the forums of the Creative Cloud.
Thank you for understanding!"
(I used Google Translate)
Somebody help?

You do not need ?&promoid=KRUVP at the end of the url but it should not matter.
One thing to check is if your hosts file is modified. Open the Command Prompt and type: notepad %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
This will open a read-only copy of your host file in Notepad. Are there any entries in this file regarding adobe.com?
The other thing you can do is open the Developer Tools in the Chrome browser. On Windows press Ctrl + Shift to open them. Switch to the Network tab. Reload the page by pressing Ctrl + r. Check for any 4xx or 5xx errors which should be colored red.
Post screenshots of your results or send me a private forum message with the information.

Hi billzundel17,
If you are having an issue with your Apple TV telling you it can not play HDCP content, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I have Elements 12. It's an upgrade in most respects from the old CS2 I used for years. Except there is apparently no measuring tool. How can this be; is there a plug-in, or will Adobe fix the problem?

I have Elements 12. It's an upgrade in most respects from the old CS2 I used for years. Except there is apparently no measuring tool. How can this be; is there a plug-in, or will Adobe fix the problem? Anyone know a way around this glaring omission?

Hello again. When I said PSE 12 was an upgrade on CS2, I meant that simply from an informal point of view - and it is: it's better software in most respects. In expert mode, the features and functions are much the same as in the CS2 I had before, but enhanced and slicker. Less 16 bit colour depth and a few other things of course. Unfortunately, as it now transpires, the "few other things" has turned out to include the measuring feature.
Thanks for the work-around - only problem is ... to what Info Panel are you referring when using the line tool? I've looked around but can't see the line length being shown anywhere. Thanks in advance for any light you might be able to cast on it.
Incidentally, I upgraded my written-off Canon D5 MK II with a D6. To me it's an upgrade - it's a much better camera - though by the letter of the law, the strict upgrade path would be to a 5D MK III. One can use the word "upgrade" in this informal (but entirely meaningful) sense, I hope, without being sent to prison!!

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

HT3728 Firmware Update 7.6.4 Error: I uploaded the 7.6.4 firmware update today, and received an error message as it was finalising. As I am using my Time Capsule as the Airport router, I am now no longer able to access it to try to resolve the problem. He

Dear Support Team,
I agreed to the Time Capsule 7.6.4 update today, but as it was completing, I received an error. It said to close the page and try again.
I use my Time Capsule as my Airport wireless router and now can't access the Time Capsule to re-upload the Firmware update.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Is there a way to resolve the problem?
Do I need to hardwire the Time Capsule? Then what?
Would really appreciate some help!!
Thanks everyone.

Factory reset the TC and it should come back to life.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
As a rule .. wireless is not reliable enough for mission critical work like firmware upgrades.. (Heck I don't think it is reliable enough for backups).
Apple doesn't insist on wired connections.. some other manufacturers do.. and post warnings not to attempt it over wireless. Warnings inevitably read after the failed firmware update btw.. so perhaps Apple have decided to just save themselves the hassle.
I believe it is just good practice to use ethernet for any time that sitting on a branch.. whilst sawing it off (ie failure will kill any future access).. means you always use ethernet for any setting up of a wireless router.. but you see I am old.. with grey/white hair.. and too many dead modems and routers around me.

Diagnosis
In the chart of accounts to be posted to, no accounts are defined for the tax code you used.

To do this, choose Maintain entries (F5).
where i can determin the accounts, which accounts will be effect.
Thank you & Regards
Anil

Hi,
You have to maintain the GL accounts for the correct combination of country, tax code, chart of accounts etc in the tcode FTXP for the transaction VST.
I hope either the transaction VST or the tax code V0 was newly added
You can get the correct GL account by askign the person who has initiated this change. May be your FI team member also can help.
T030K is the table which gets updated while you maintain teh entries through FTXP tcode.
Hope this helps you
