Just Bought Leopard-Erase & install OR Upgrade from 10.4.11 ?

I Would like to install 10.5 with the least amount of trouble-so if that means erase and install-I will, as long as all of my stuff that I backed up in 10.4 will be able to be restored once 10.5 is in with no problems.
Any info would help- Nervous/but excited!
Thanks, Retha

If you can clone it to another drive, once you erase and install, you can use the migration assistant to move all of your users and apps over.
If not, an Archive and Install keeping users and settings is the next best.
People have had problems with just an Upgrade.

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download. 8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page. I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10. Please can you tell me my options? Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application. What should I do? How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750. Many thanks, Adam.

Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

I just bought a used i pod touch from work but the screen says Ipod is disabled, how do I clear that to get back and eneter in the passcode?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

"Response Code" needed to install CS3 (upgrade from CS2) - cannot get through on 'chat'

How do I get a Response Code for installing CS3 (upgraded from CS2) on a new computer? I used to be able to call for the code but there is no phone support anymore. I have spent 3 days trying to connect through chat which is supposed to be available 24/7 and it says 'chat is unavailable at this time'. I have no way of installing my software. Please help adobe.

Okay so I spent a further 2 hours on hold this morning and actually forgot I was on hold until I heard the beep beep beep of disconnection! GARRRRRR
Anyway, after a nice visit from my family to celebrate my birthday, i got back on the phone this afternoon.
5 minutes later I was speaking to a Technical Support guy who was extremely helpful, did not ask me to repeat trouble shooting steps I had already taken, listened to me carefully as I explained the problem and diagnosed, fixed and activated my software within 30 minutes.
Resolution of the problem: they gave me an updater checker response code which worked immediately. Ctrl/Shift+dbl click on the broken update cheker page and up came a back door screen. Just a few digits later and PRESTO my software is up and running like a dream. Activation was smooth and registration no problem.
THANKS!!!

I just bought leopard, but now lion?

Hi, fellow Mac-fans. A couple of months ago, I bought Leopard so that I could upgrade to Lion. My understanding was that I would not need to pay for Lion, since I was doing the upgrade to move to iCloud, and I had just bought Leopard, etc. I don't mean to quibble over thirty bucks, but I've already felt duped because someone told me that Apple was giving away Leopard free.
Did I miss something? I couldn't find it when I did a search.
Thanks

Thanks for answering my question.
You're Welcome... Glad the Confusion has been cleared away.
Before going to Lion would suggest that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC http://www.bombich.com/
Also... For Lion... Check the Compatibility of Third Party Applications you may be using...

Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

Hi My grandparents just bought an iPod Touch for me from Dubai, UAE. I can't see any facetime on the home screen nor in the settings. I've read that it's not possible. But is it possible if I get my OS updated again from India?

There is no way you can activate Facetime on an iPod touch purchased in the UAE. The government there required Apple to lock off Facetime at the hardware level and there's no way to unlock it. Reinstalling iOS, regardless of country, will not help. If you want Facetime, you will need to sell your UAE-version iPod and buy one there in India.

Hi , I just bought robert kiyosaki financial iq audiobook from ITunes from my iPad but the sound stop after 5 minutes playing. Can someone assist me please?

Have you tried copying it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and seeing if it plays ok on your computer ? If it does then try deleting it from your iPad and then sync it back and see if it then plays. If not then you could use the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

How can I restore my iTunes library via Time Machine after an erase/install and upgrade to Snow Leopard?

Actual problem:
I reinstalled all my programs that I need without a hitch. Meanwhile, I've been trying to recover the few files (mostly music) I actually store on my computer's hard drive as opposed to on my external HDs. I use one external HD for my graphic files and the other is strictly for Time Machine backups. I tried to recover my iTunes music, but I got a message that says: "The file: "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I restored (I thought) my iTunes library Username/Music/iTunes." Additionally, I was going to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but I have seen that there were issues with Lion and iTunes libraries so I'm a little wary of this.
Excuse the long explanation, but I figure the problem may possibly be in the details of the weeks prior this problem:
I have recently been having issues with my iMac. I brought it in to see a Genius twice within the past month and they couldn't seem to find the problem. (It would restart Finder of it's own accord while I was using Adobe CS programs) I figured it was worth backing everything up via Time Machine and doing a complete erase/install/factory reset. I did so and had a problem again, and brought it in again, third time. The Genius did another diagnostics tests and found nothing and said my erase/install probably did the trick, but time will tell. I am, after the erase/rewrite and upgrade running Mac OS X 10.6.3 and previous to this was still running Tiger.

So, I didn't update iTunes and the rest of it after installing Snow Leopard. My stupidity, I figured that the OS was more up to date than the one I had previously so that all the programs that come with it probably were more current than the ones I was using. However, now that I have updated all my software, I am still getting the same message from iTunes that I was previously. I cannot open iTunes at all, same "The file: "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." message. I'm confused again. Checked a few other threads and whatnot and cannot seem to figure this out.

Firefox 4 stalls on instalation while upgrading from previous version

I've tried to upgrade to Firefox 4 from version 3.6.17 several times, but every time I try to install version 4 it stalls halfway through the installation procedure. I then have to reinstall version 3.6.17 again. I have disabled the add ons that were reported to be incompatable for the new version.

Thanks for the response. If it is, indeed, Apple Magic, then I would expect Time Machine to be aware of this and account for it. However, numerous people have reported that Time Machine sees this as a separate item to backup and it bloats the backup.
I'm just curious to understand how this works from a filesystem perspective.
Thanks again for reading and helping.

How to tell if Yosemite is clean install or upgrade from previous version

My brand new MacBook Pro arrived last week, with Yosemite already installed on it.
Having issues with WiFi (after coming out of sleep mode, mbp keeps its self-assigned address rather than getting an address though DHCP or using its old address), I was searching for support on the matter, and one of the solutions often suggested was doing a clean install of Yosemite if the mbp was upgraded from 10.9.
Seeing that the mbp arrived with Yosemite pre-installed, I'm guessing that it is a clean install, but I'm not sure.
I wonder if there is a way in telling if the OS was upgraded to the current major version, or if it's a clean install? Even if Apple only ships clean installs, it would be helpful to know if I need to give support to one of the mac-users in our company if it's a clean install or not.

On my system, the Yosemite upgrade (performed on Oct. 23) left quite a bit of residue that would not be present after a clean install. The most obvious examples are in /var/db/receipts, which contains BOM files for all of the software installed via the Mac OS installer, e.g.,
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel     98584 Oct 20 08:49 com.apple.pkg.update.lion.appstore.155-2.bom

Procedure for installing CS6 upgrade from CS5.5 on new computer

Hello,
I am running Design Premium CS5.5 which was an upgrade from CS4. I am buying a new laptop. Can I install CS6 directly? Or do I have to install CS4 and then CS5.5 and then CS6?
Do I "deactivate" CS5.5 on the old computer first?
Thanks!
Tony

Hi Tony, you need not to install CS 4 and CS 5.5. You can directly install CS 6 on your new laptop.
It will ask your serial key for CS 6 and then it will ask the serial key for the qualifying product , in this case it will be the serial key for your CS 5.5.
And then it will start the installation.

Problem updating newly installed Tiger (upgrading from 10.3.9)

Hi,
I'm having troubles updating my newly installed Tiger (10.4.3) to the newest version of it.
I tried Software Update but after checking it says that I have the newest available software (which is not true), and when trying updating from the combo updates available at Apple website, I get the following screen:
http://kaarlows.sites.uol.com.br/Fotos/update.jpg
I've downloaded all combos, starting from 10.4.8 version until 10.4.4 one (which is the one I took the screenshot above), and all of them show the same error.
I've already restarted the computer, repaired permissions, disconnected my external drives, and still couldn't update my operating system.
I upgraded from Panther, version 10.3.9, using the option of “upgrade” with the Tiger installation DVD.
Could somebody help me out here?
Thanks;

Did you run Disk First Aid repair on your boot volume
with Disk First Aid repair via Disk Utility when
booted from the Tiger install disc before proceeding
with the installation and were all external
peripheral devices except for a keyboard and mouse
disconnected during the install?
No, I didn't, and my external USB hard drive was connected to the Mac when I was updating.
If no problems were reported by DFA repair, this
probably won't make any difference but if there were
problems reported that were successfully repaired, it
might.
Beside repairing disk, I also repaired permissions once again, and there were no problems reported.
I restarted the computer, and still software update continued to say that I was up-to-date and the update combos I downloaded all showed the same error message from the screenshot above.
Will I need to reinstall again Tiger? And will the option Archive and Install work even if I'm reinstalling again the same system?
Thanks for the fast reply,

TS1702 Just bought iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one game. How can I get the app on this iPad? It does not even show up in purchased apps.

Just bought an iPad Air. All apps from previous iPad transferred over except one. The app does not appear in my purchased apps. How can I move this app over?

Some apps do indeed come off the market. The vendor stops selling or supporting them for whatever reason.
That is likely what happened.
See if the app is still in the App Store. If so, you can download it. If not, it is gone.

Preparing for Snow Leopard - fresh install or upgrade?

I have two Mac's at home currently running 10.5.8 that I will be upgrading to Snow Leopard. My question is, do I need to do a fresh install or upgrade over the existing OS and is there a preferred approach?
Mac 1: Macbook Pro (late 2007)
Key Applications in use:
- VM Ware Fusion
- Bootcamp (Vista)
- Logic Express 8
- MS Office 2008
Mac 2: Mac Mini (2009)
Key applications in use:
- Plex
- MacTheRipper
Thanks in advance!

Since no one yet has SL to determine what options are available you will have to wait until Friday.
But in the most general terms a fresh install is always preferable. You can prepare by doing the following:
1. Repair your hard drive and permissions.
2. Make and test a bootable clone to another internal or external drive.
Because you have two Macs you will need to purchase the Family Pack. You cannot install a single-user license on more than one CPU at a time.
