Installing 10.4 upgrade without installing ALL previous versions first

Just replaced the hard drive in my iMac. When I tried to reinstall 10.4 I was prompted that it was an upgrade and I would have to install 10.3 first. So I put in 10.3 and got the same message looking for 10.2.
I do have all the previous OS disks but am wondering if there is a quicker way to install 10.4 without first installing all the previous versions first.
Thanks

I don't know if this could help, but in the past it solved some installation problems for me: reset the PRAM, it is innocuous anyway. To do it you'll need to reboot while pressing cmdopt+"P""R", then you'll hear a new dong sound, keep'em pressd for a new dong and so up to a third one, then release and try 10.4 install again.
PS: If your imac is the latest G5 you'll not able to install 10.4 with the original tiger disks since its minimun bootable OS is 10.4.2. You'll need the restoring disk then.

I Beta tested 4.0 RC1 and now can not upgrade to 4.0. Error message is need to reboot to complete prior instalation. Have removed all previous versions of Firefox, rebooted and still same error message.

I Beta tested up to and including 4.0 RC1 without major problems. However I can not now upgrade to 4.0. Same error message time and again, "need to reboot to complete prior upgrade instalation". I rebooted several times, then tried first removing all previous versions of Firefox using both MS Add/Remove and then iolo System Mechanic, then again downloading 4.0. Even after rebooting same error message. I can not therefore install/use Firefox.

Do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I am purchasing two new computers to replace the older computers in my house.

I am paying for one of my 3 sons to attend college. I have thought about a student version but understand that there are limitations.
Can anyone help?

The Educational version is a great way to go - it is functionally identical to the commercial version, usually without the extra fonts and such.

My MBP has Mountain Lion installed. The iPhoto version is 8.1.2. Cannot install iPhoto 9.4 without installing 9.0, but cannot find 9.0. Solution, please.

If you're running Mac OS X 10.8.x ou can purchase iPhoto version 9.x from the App Store. If you purchase iPhoto at the App Store you will automatically get the most up-to-date version and you won't need to install the 9.4 update.

Can someone help me bring up ALL previous versions of an Adobe Story Script? (Tried View History already).

Hi, I am working on a script. Somewhere along the way, I lost a scene I know I previously wrote. I tried looking at the View > History menu option, but it only shows 3 different saves (it's been saved multiple times since July). Is there any way to bring up all previous versions of the file from the cloud?

that might not be a bad idea. and, yes, you should use the +firewire method+ to migrate @ least some of the data using setup assistant (which launches automatically once you have reinstalled OS X). you should be able to safely migrate everything but applications. i would re-install 3rd party applications manually and, since you migrated the user data earlier, you will find that you won't have to re-enter any license numbers or settings.
Pondini has a brilliant [walkthrough|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] for you. just deselect the applications @ the prompt.
when the migration process is done, i would immediately +repair permissions+, then restart. next, i would run software update from the  menu and install any updates offered. repair permissions again and restart.
@ this stage, you might want to try to upgrade to SL again.
as for the iTunes library, the simplest way would again be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_ (TDM), and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source (Mini) to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there). since you updated all software components earlier, you shouldn't see that error message again.
the iPhoto library can be copied manually, too. again, using TDM, just drag and drop from source to target. see this user tip for locations: _*where important data is stored*_ (one correction to this link: iCal data is stored in ~/library/calendars).

Regarding removing all previous versions of the Mocrosoft Server Speech Platform Runtime

While I was trying to install Kinect SDK Ver. 1.8, I was asked to remove all previous versions of the Mocrosoft Server Speech Platform Runtime.
Regarding this, I tried to find the program but I couldn't.
I am working on Windows Vista.
Any comments and solutions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Park,
I agree with Martin, please ask Vista Forum for help so that you can get more professional suggestions. For your convenience:

However I would like to share some information for you.
Based on my research on Kinect SDK Ver. 1.8, the supported OS as below:
Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows Embedded Standard 7
Maybe this is the root reason that why cannot install Kinect SDK Ver. 1.8 on Vista.

Firefox 6 will not allow you to paste a cookie into the addressbar like all previous versions have. I use software to replace web chat and must do this and have been able to do it in all past versions. What's the deal?

Thank you for your response.
After searching around for any pointers to my problem, the above fixes I listed were the things that came closest to maybe addressing the issue, that I was able to locate. But since none worked, and as you pointed out, it is now clear they will only help towards viewing sent images rather than helping with inserting any images in the body of the email, which is the problem I suddenly started facing today.
Coming to your suggestion, on opening the Write window, the Insert choice on the menu bar is indeed available. And I had already tried using that, by clicking on the '''Insert ----> Image''' option listed. That opens
up the "Image Properties" box but using that has not resolved the matter either. It results in an image box getting inserted within the email but without the actual image itself.
Plus, normally I am able to use the '''Paste''' function in the Edit menu or through right-click, but today the (Cut/Copy/Paste) functions have gone inactive, thereby disallowing me to use that to place an image within the email.

Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?

Is there a way to open a playlist in a second window in iTunes 11 - like all previous versions of iTunes could?
To build a playlist, I would open a newly created one in a separate window, then in the main widow I would roam through the full music collection adding songs to the playlist - by simple drag and drop - as I find them. But this doesn't work when I have to jump between full list view and playlist view in the same window - that kind of confuses the process. I need to be able to see the playlist I am building while I roam through the main list, using two windows to see both lists of songs at the same time. Is this no longer possible in iTunes 11?

Apple never officially comments on these posts, true, and I have no idea if they pay much attention to this very helpful user to user forum set-up here, but they do let you provide feedback at-( http://www.apple.com/feedback/ )-for any product concerns you may have, though they don't respond there either, which I think is understandable. I think they do consider feedback while developing updates and I expect they try to incorporate feedback concerns as they create updates and revisions. But it is probably exceedingly difficult to include all feedback concerns or please everyone all the time.
A long time ago I was complaining to them about how the full music library view would jump to show next song playing every time a new song started and that would take my view away from wherever I had scrolled to while the last song was playing. That was annoying and they eventually fixed that issue in iTunes 11.
I have sent apple my feedback concerns (more than once) about how it really helps to open separate windows to do playist creations and edit, revise, and manage playlists - and how that split window method is not easy to use (linked to in a previous post I made on this thread). The more people they get feedback from asking to be able to open multiple iTunes windows, then the more likely they will bring that feature back. So don't forget to provide feedback (go to feedback link provided herein).
Hopefully it won't take them years to return the multiple window capability in a future update.

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.

I have been able to open PDF docs using C# API Process.Start("Full_path_To_the_PDF_File") in windows 7 or windows 8 with all previous versions of Acrobat32 reader.
However, with v11.0, the same command, in Windows 8, it does not open the PDF document. I can see the Acrobat(32) started in the task manager, but the document does open. Not sure how I can troble shoot this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

I haven't use the C# API but I imagine it is the same as C ShellExecute. Which in turn is the same thing (in essence) as double clicking in Windows Explorer.
So... does Adobe Reader run normally on this machine?
And does it start and open if you double click on a PDF file?

How do I open PageMaker 7 files in InDesign CC without buying a previous version of InDesign?

without buying a previous version of InDesign?

InDesign CC does not have the capability of opening Pagemaker 6 and 7 files, but InDesign CS6 does.
If you have a Creative Cloud subscription, you can also download InDesign CS6 at no charge using the Creative Cloud desktop app.
In the Creative Cloud app, go to the Apps list. Scroll down until you see the heading Filters & Versions. Choose Previous Versions. You can download CS6 from there.
Both versions can run on your computer at the same time.

Integrity of my music in itunes playback stutters & skips and has in all previous versions

curently running itunes 10.6.1.7 on desktop. But in all previous versions I had the same problem, in about half of my library of music at the beginning of songs it stutters and skips, is as best I can explain what it is. but when I play the same songs in another player such as winamp I don't get this problem, I just tried to record the situation ( problem) and upload it to youtube and post the link here, but it's not doing it at the moment. weird.. well when it does i'm going to record it and post a link to it on youtube so that'll be the best way for readers of this thread to hear what I mean, but maybe Apple already knows theirs an issue with that.

Are all your songs etc. still in the usual folder(s) on your computer? Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

Uninstall all previous versions

I am looking to uninstall all previous versions of Sun Java from my network and standardise on 1_4_2_03.
previous versions include various ones between 1_2 and 1_4_2_02.
It would seem you need to uninstall each version individually, what I need is a way to uninstall all versions in one go, this would need to be able to run silently.
Has anyone come up with a way as I have been unable to find a single catch all way on the Sun web site.

Thought it would be the case. Looks like I might need to go for a folder/regkey delete and reinstall. Its anoying that Java installs to a different folder with each version rather than over writing. I am sure Sun has its reasons.
