Is there any benefit updating OS 10.6.8 too Lion and Mountain Lion before Maverick?

is there any benefit updating OS 10.6.8 too Lion and Mountain Lion etc. before updating to Maverick?

No. Before you upgrade check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Do a backup before you upgrade.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
You might update your profile - shows 10.5

Are there any problems updating directly from OS X 10.6 to Mountain Lion 10.8? X

Will I have any particular difficulty updating directly from OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to 10.8 Mountain Lion using a download from the App Store?
iMac is current with the latest 10.6.8 version.
Thank you for any comments or suggestions.

You want to check compatibility of your apps and that your Mac can support ML.
Also, although the specs say 2GB of RAM, IMO 4GB should be a minimum.
The app Store DL is slow. Once you DL it, before installing it copy the installer from your Applications folder, so if you ever need to use it again you have it. The reason for this is that it self destructs after restart.

Are there any apps that make it now possible to scroll with Mountain Lion ?

I just gave up on a project that required me to be able to scroll through a Senate bill. I'll probably go back, but it just shouldn't be so difficult, so painful. and I'm not talking about the bill's language. No, it's just Apple's decision to do away with the USEABLE search arrows that existed before Mountain Lion, and, yes, I know that you can use the little up and down triangles--sometimes--for this purpose. I have written to Apple about this on more than one occasion, but I never felt that this would do any good. Anyway, I came here to see if anyone knows of an app that has been developed to overcome this strange, almost malicious, behavior of Apple's. Are there any apps I can use on my iMac for scrolling? If not why not? I know I have a lot of company in my disgust with Apple's behavior, so I have to there is some prohibitively difficult problem that makes such a fix impossible. Is that the reason why no one has come to the rescue of Apple's suffering customers?

For very long documents in PDF or on a web page, I just lean on the space bar for big jumps (Shift-spacebar goes up), or on the down arrow keys for short scrolling. If I'm on my laptop, the trackpad provides both large jumps and fine control. If I'm on my desktop, I love my scroll wheel mouse.
In apps like Word, you can't scroll with the spacebar because you need it to type spaces, so I just use the Page Up/Page Down keys. On short Mac keyboards you press Fn+Up Arrow or Fn+Down Arrow to page up/down.
There are so many more and better ways to scroll now compared to the 1980s when the only way was to click-click-click over and over again on stupid scroll arrows. If it stopped scrolling it meant you had to re-aim the mouse because the mouse slipped a little and the arrow is no longer hitting the arrow. If you wanted to scroll up, you had to move the mouse quite a ways because the arrows were on opposite ends of the bar. Scroll arrows were the worst and least efficient way to scroll and I don't miss them at all.
I'm glad we have so many superior alternatives now where, unlike scroll arrows, you don't even have to look at the screen to scroll quickly and accurately. Today, the only good use for a scroll bar is to tell you how far you are through the document.

Have OS X 10.6.3 and am unable to install App Store to install Lion or Mountain Lion Software to update to Maverick....HELP!!!!

I recently purchased the Lion and Mountain Lion software to upgrade my MacBook Pro enough to be able to install Maverick (I realized now I only need Lion but oh well). I'm currently running on OS X 10.6.3. I have codes to install Lion using the App Store, however don't have the App Store installed. I cannot install it, as it says I must be running a version of OS X 10.6.6 or higher in order to install the App Store......Am I just completely screwed here??? Does anyone know another way to install this software without the App Store?! Thank you!!!!

1. You don’t need Lion either.
2. Run the Software Update pane of System Preferences or install the 10.6.8 combo updater manually.

Is there any benefit for me to use smart previews if my Lightroom 5 catalog, previews and media are all on the same external USB HD?

I keep everything on 1 External USB3 HD so that I can pug it into my Mac at home or my PC at work and just keep working without syncing anything to the local machine. So is there any benefit with Smart Previews in this case? I heard somewhere that it might make the Develop module a little quicker, but is this only when using the Smart Preview and not the full res image?

Lr uses smart previews instead of ACR cache for initial develop-module view when photos are online - amount of benefit is, in my experience, very minor (not noticeable without using a stop-watch..).
But if photos are offline, you may experience more substantial savings.
Note: smart previews are reduced resolution - smart previews of raw files are 2560 x (say) 1920, so if your original raws were say 5120 x 3840, then you/Lr are dealing with 1/4 the number of pixels when editing via smart previews.
Anyway, if you are willing to give up zoom for one edit pass, you can resize the smart previews so 1:1 fits in your allotted display space (e.g. 1280 x 960, which would be 1/8 number of pixels..), e.g. using the PreviewExporter plugin - then things may be significantly faster in develop module. PreviewExporter also has a feature to take originals offline, and put them back online.
To be clear: the amount of savings may or may not be dramatic - how much there is depends on your system, size of raw vs. smart preview image, number and type of edits applied, etc..
Why don't you try it and tell us what you think?!
Cheers,
Rob

I have updated my iphone 5 with IOS7. Now there is an update 7.0.2 on my cell and the size of update file is showing around 21.0 MB. I tried to update it ITunes but it seems it is downloading the entire IOS. Is there any separate update for the same or I have to download the entire IOS again?

Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Apple isn't providing more updates to Mac OS X Snow Leopard because it's a discontinued Mac OS X version. Now, if you have to use plugins as Java or Flash, it's dangerous to continue using them with Leopard, so I recommend you to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard at least > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

Are there any firmaware updates for time capsule?

Are there any firmware updates for Time Capsule/Time machine?
I just had a new hybrid (SSD and spinning disk) drive (750 GB) installed on my MacBook Pro and used Boot Kamp to partition it and run Windows xp. Now, my previously working Time Machine won't function. It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use) preventing the back-up from working properly. When I try and remove and re-install Time Capsule as the disk to back-up to, it still doesn't work. My plan "B" is get a second Time Capsule and dedicate it to the MacBook. But, I fear I'll face the same problem.
When I open to reconfigure Time Machine, the Time Capsule disk is identified as the back-up, but it's also seen in the "available disks to use for back-up" along with with Boot Kamp disk which is part of the new SSD hybrid hard drive just installed. (Remember it's the partitioned part running Windows xp.)
I've unplugged/plugged-in the ethernet internet connection and the power cord many times to no avail. The message still says the sparsebundle is in the way.
Do you think deleting Boot Kamp disk from the list of available hard drives might solve the problem?
Bill in Tulsa

TM can only use AFP and only on disks formatted HFS+ (ie Mac Extended Journaled) so it should not bring up a boot camp partition as a possible destination at all .. but I have not done that seutp.
It says the "sparsebundle" is open (or in use)
That error is well known. It should simply required the TC to be restarted..
That sometimes gets things working where the simple restart won't.
I would recommend using short names, with no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
That is C9
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
If you have a more complicated setup.. I would recommend firstly doing a TM reset in the computer.
See A4 in the same reference.
Do a verify then of the sparsebundle on the TC.. A5 but you might need to inherit the old backup if you want to continue an old backup.. A new hard disk will make the TM consider the old backup no longer belongs to the computer.. there is a UUID connection to the actual hard disk used in the backup.
Again read the info in pondini. B5 and B6.
The sparsebundle in use is C12 but there are a number of sparsebundle issues in section C.. C17 is another common issue.
Some of what you have done is not adequate.. eg disconnecting ethernet is not enough.. you need to reboot the TC.

Is there any benefit to keep the RAW file after editing outside Lightroom creates a TIFF

When working with RAW files in Lightroom and you choose to edit in Photoshop, the only option is "Edit a copy with Lightroom Adjustments" (Edit Original is grayed out). This creates a .TIFF so after you come back from Photoshop you now have two copies of the photo--the RAW file and a TIFF version.
In my normal workflow, I make additional edits to the TIFF file in addition to the changes Photoshop made so I'm left with a "out dated" version of the RAW file. Is there any benefit to keeping the RAW file at that point? I'm doubling my disk usage by keeping it.
Fire away.....

Answering this question:
This got me wonderig why LR turns my 25-30mb CR2 RAW files into 80-95 mb TIFF files when it sends them to Photoshop for editing but Photoshop can open the same 25-30 RAW file in DNG format and save it as a 25-30 mb TIFF. Why are the TIFF's LR creates 3x larger than the ones created by PS?
Camera RAW file formats are compressed to a small file size using manufacturer proprietary information about the image sensor pixel layout. This provides a more efficient loss-less file compression algorithm than TIFF's LZW or ZIP compression algorithms. LZW or ZIP compression is not used when Lightroom exports and opens an image in Photoshop for editing, but you certainly have that option when saving the file after applying your PS edits. DNG files using loss-less compression can produce a file size slightly smaller than RAW format, but I have no experience with DNG.
Answering this question:
CS3 can't read Canon .CR2 RAW files (at least mine can't unless there is a plugin of some kind).
Support for newer camera models like your Canon 7D are only added to the then current (and later version) Adobe Camera RAW Converter and Lightroom. Newer Adobe Camera RAW converter versions (6.3) are not supported in older version of Photoshop like CS3. It is the nature of business marketing and also due to the large expense to support older application versions with "new" plug-in features. It would be a support nightmare!
Hypothetical Example:
"Why doesn't Adobe Camera RAW 10.3 work properly with my Canon 1600 D MK XV 45 Megapixel camera in Photoshop CS3?"

HT1222 Are there any security updates for the Mac OS 10.4.11?

Are there any security updates for my G4 PowerPC OS 10.4.11?

No. Tiger is an obsolete and unsupported OS at this point. If there were any updates you would find them using Software Update.

Changing processor- Is there any bios update to do?

hye, before this, i'm using intel core 2 duo e6300. but i have change to intel QX9650. is there any bios update i have to do to avoid any conflicts.
btw, i'm using windows xp professional. i heard that msi motherboard will update the bios automatically when the processor is changed. is that true?
if not, what i have supposed to do right now?

According to the CPU-Support List...
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1479&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
...the P45 Platinum officially supports the Intel QX9650 since BIOS v1.0. So basically, in terms of processor support, you do not need a newer BIOS to make sure the QX9650 is initialized and handled properly by the system. If you do not have any problems with your system and everything appears to be functioning just fine, a BIOS Update is not absolutly necessary at the moment.
In case you need to update your BIOS in the future, please do not use MSI Live Update or any other Windows based flashing applications. Instead, >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<, which will automatically prepare an USB Flash Drive for a save BIOS Flash from a plain DOS Environment, which remains the safest method for that kind of procedure. Of course, you should ensure that your system is running 100% stable before a BIOS Update even becomes an options. What you don't want and need is a system crash during the flashing procedure (which will most likely render your board useless).

Is there any benefit to installing anti-virus software on the Windows side of the Boot Camp configuration?

Is there any benefit to installing anti-virus software on the Windows side of the Boot Camp configuration?

The advantage is the susceptibility of Windows systems to viruses and passing those along. While they may not affect, or infect, a Mac OS X systems, thy can be passed through to others.

Function overloading ... Is there any benefit ?

Where is the benefit if I write this ..
using function overloading :
add(Integer, Integer);
add(String, String);
instead of
addInt(Integer, Integer);
addStr(String, String);
Is there any benefit ?

why you are saying "add() *does not contain an argument type name*"?The statement that you are still claiming to find unclear was 'embed the argument type names in the function name'. The function name 'add()' doesn't do that. Your alternative function name 'addInt() does do that. 'Int'. A type name. Embedded in the function name.
Am I missing something ?Yes. I don't see how you can agree that add() is shorter than addInt() without also seeing that the difference consists precisely of the embedded type name. Frankly, I don't think you have been reading very carefully.
