Looking for sequence steps for major upgrade of 15" MBP

Can anyone offer a sequence of steps to upgrade
From:  OS 10.6, windows XP, RAM 2GB, Hard drive 200 GB
To: OS Mountain Lion, Windows 7 64 bit, 4 GB RAM, 1tb Harddrive
I have the software and the hardware is coming from OWC.
My ?? are what first, hardware or software, in what order?
All tips are welcome!
2008 15" MBP
MacBookPro4,1
Intel Core 2 Duo
MBP41.00C1.B03

Hardware. The order doesn't matter. Software, you should upgrade OS X first from the Mac App Store and then upgrade to Windows 7.

    Hi I'm a Meteor bill pay customer since 2000 and am looking for an early upgrade I called into the dundrum branch and was told that meteor may offer and early upgrade if only 4 months remaining on contract I have less than 4 months left on mine

    Hi Tj18,
    Unfortunately it's not something I can advise on personally. However if you give our loyalty team a call on 1800567085, they'll be happy to look into that for you.

  • Looking for the upgrade of AW

    As my P4 home computer failed, I've to use?the old P2 with AWE64 soundcard again. And i've noticed the big difference between the integrated AD sound of P4 and the sound of old AWE64.
    While AWE64 seems to give noticably more distorted sound, I feel it as more melodic and pleasing. The AD seems to give the more balanced sound on simple melodies, but complex melodies sound like sand and cotton wool.
    I like the AWE64 sound more, don't know why -- maybe, just nostalgic feelings. Listening to AD tires me, while listening AWE64 reanimated the music that annoyed me on AD.
    So, i'm looking for non-expensi've new version of AWE64 for modern computers. I don't need the features like on-board synthesis any more, nor the complex game-oriented arithmetics. I need just the sound card for listening the music, with the clear sound I would like, something that is close to AWE64?sound.
    Which sound cards should I pay attention on?

    Dont know anymore if the AWE 64 has got SPDIF out, the AWE32 has (+ the AWE32 can get 28Mbyte of RAM, the AWE64 only 24?).
    EMU0K/2 cards will have good music synthesis and very good sound. The X-FI is quite superior to this. Even if the MIDI Synth of AWE32 and AWE64 is much beeter in terms of GM compatibility, the newer cards will have better quality and support for greater soundfonts. Get a real audigy or a real X-FI card (not the se or extreme audio versions)

  • LOOKING FOR ICHAT UPGRADE

    Hello... i just got a isight and it works great. The thing is that recieving audio come out really low and only out of the right speaker. Now i found a discussion room that said its easily fixed by doing a upgrade to your ichat but i can not find the link. HELP. I have a g4 mac osx 10.3.9. with 2.1 ichat av.
    The isight if great now that i got one all my friends are following suit. This is a minor problem i'm sure. If someone know the link to this upgrade / download i would be grateful. If you have any information please help me.

    Hello, Brian,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The thing is that receiving audio come out really low and only out of the right speaker.
    Normal. Because of the physical size of laptops, their speakers will always be fairly close to the mic. To minimize audio feedback through iSight's mic, iChat AV is designed to work as you describe on all laptops. You say you are already using the latest version of Panther's iChat AV (2.1). You do NOT need to upgrade to Tiger only because of this issue.
    If the way iChat AV works on your GREAT PowerBook bothers you, or if turning up the volume until YOU find it loud enough causes feedback for your chat buddy, try head phones (or perhaps external speakers) when you want to AV chat. That is the best way I know to alleviate the problem.
    See Apple's iChat AV: Only right speaker makes sound during audio or video chats KBase article for the official explanation.
    Apple's document (and many other items of interest to a new user) is linked from Apple's own iChat, iChat AV frequently asked questions (FAQ). Give them a look. They really are "frequently asked".
    The Apple FAQ is only one of the useful iChat AV FAQs you will find in the iChat AV Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
    You may also find the iSight Tips and FAQ to be of interest. For example, Mac laptop users like you should be aware of the magnetic mount warning in the What Mounting Hardware is available for iSight? FAQ.
    Enjoy your iSight,

  • Adobe forums down for major upgrade this weekend

    The Adobe user-to-user forums will  be offline this weekend, starting at 6PM (Pacific time) tonight (Friday  night), 16September2011.
    During the downtime, the forum software will be upgraded. We expect to be back online on Sunday afternoon.
    There  will not be a lot of cosmetic or feature changes to the forums, but we  do expect to see better stability and performance. There are also a  number of bug fixes, including the rich text editor (random line  breaks). We will also be introducing new features in the near term  future (documents and polls). And we will have a number of new video  tutorials about using the forums.
    Thanks for your patience during the scheduled downtime, and we look forward to seeing you in the updated forums.

    Two observations.
    The pop-up flyout that appears when the cursor is hovered over
    a user's profile name would previously display only the threads
    that were initiated by that user, now all of the user's recent activity
    is displayed instead.
    Adding the reply that the original poster has designated as the
    'correct answer' to the original post is an interesting function,
    but it can be detrimental for a user who may not read the subsequent
    responses that provide more complete (and often better) information
    regarding the problem in question.
    A skimmer may only read the original post with the 'correct' response, and
    not gain the benefit of of the nuance and corrections that usually follow.
    Also, it is often the case that the OP does not recognize a response as
    incomplete or not entirely incorrect, and designates the post as 'correct'
    anyway.

  • Looking for Seeburger upgrade documents

    We need to upgrade Seeburger very soon.
    Would you please provide whatever  documents on this topic?
    Thanks!

    Linda,
    SFTP and AS2 is not supported by SAP XI. But if you want to use them then you have to get it from seeburger which supports these protocols.
    SFTP is Secure File Transfer Protocol  and it uses SSH protocol.
    AS2 is used mostly for EDI transactions.
    If you want to know what they do please do a google search. But if you want to buy then contact monica from this document:

  • Buying Used iMac - What to look for?

    Hello,
    I'm a devoted mac user. I currently own a late 2008 unibody Macbook, and have been looking for an upgrade. I came across a used iMac posting on a craigslist-like website. The configuration is a low-end mid-2011 21" iMac (quad core i5, 4gb, 500gb).
    I asked the seller for the serial number and checked it out the support site. The warranty is due to run out on Thursday, just enough time for me to buy extended AppleCare. The price seems reasonable (approx $730 whereas a new iMac is $1200), and I've asked to see the iMac in person tomorrow. I wanted to know what to look for when making the final decision.
    Also do you think I should hold out for an Ivy Bridge iMac (rumoured to be coming soon??) or will it not make a difference for normal coding/browsing (no photo/video editing/gaming)? One factor discouraging me is that Apple has hitched up the prices for the newly released Macbooks here in India (the base 13" pro used to be $1250, now $1530!!!).
    Thanks a lot!

  • Upgrading to uber SDO_GEOMETRY, looking for comments

    Good morning folks,
    I see the new thread from Dalibor discussing an issue with what I am calling "uber" SDO_GEOMETRY - anyone got a better name?
    Uber SDO_GEOMETRY is described here
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11830/sdo_migrat.htm#CHDBCHBG
    Dalibor wins some kind of prize for the first time anyone has brought up uber SDO on the forum since the old thread ran its course years back
    Re: SDO_GEOMETRY size limits here to stay?
    Coincidentally this past week was my first shot at trying out the upgrade script and I thought I might post my experiences and see if anyone would have comments. This was just a test machine and I agree that each major error could have been followed up with a SR. But my overall goal is to determine if installing and running uber SDO_GEOMETRY is feasible in my production environment, so for better or worse these experiences are building those recommendations.
    So I am not much interested in going much in length why anyone would want to upgrade. I think the old thread covers it. For my work at least, the issues have not gone away. No question a polygon with millions of vertices is nutty, but they are out there all over the place and growing in number each year. Here are two additional datasets I am working with that are "over the top" for normal SDO:
    * National Wetlands Inventory (http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/data/DataDownload.html) - Largest polygon has 1,210,907 vertices.
    * FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (http://www.msc.fema.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/info?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&content=nfhlResources&title=NFHL%20Resources) - Largest polygon has 1,537,698 vertices.
    My current procedure is to load the datasets using ESRI's geometry format, identify the biggies, export the remainder and then reimport them as SDO_GEOMETRY.
    E.g. toss the big polygons away and explain to my clients that Oracle Spatial cannot handle this type of thing.
    My production instances remain on 10g so uber SDO is not yet a possibility but I am trying to think ahead.
    So back to the present. I started with a fresh 11gR2 (no upgrade history) running PSU 11.2.0.1.2 on OpenSUSE on a rather modest machine with two processors and four gig of RAM. I have about 100 gig of Oracle Spatial data on this machine. Basically I ended up running the upgrade script four times of the course of about 5 days, each run required about 30 hours to process. Here are some notes:
    * Make sure you spool the results! The script is quite "verbose" and does not have any error checking so the ALTER TYPE CASCADE part can fail but the script continues recompiling packages and rebuilding all your indexes. This is good in that the system is put back together whether it bombs or not. Bad in that you can waste a lot of time waiting to rerun the script.
    * You need lots of undo! The first time it ran through it appeared to finish and it was not until I looked at the logs did I see that I ran out of undo. I just had a single smallfile undo and it topped out at 32 gig. In the end I created 4 undo datafiles and it appears I needed 100 gig of undo! So I believe you need as much undo as you have SDO_GEOMETRY data. The first thing you want to do afterwards is DESCRIBE MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY to see if the type was altered. If you see the usual 1048576 then you bombed.
    * Second time through I received an error that I had some spatial indexes in a failed state. Turns out as this is a development box there was an index stuck in "INPROGRS" state due to some flub on my part. This was enough to hose the upgrade. I would suggest folks check for this ahead of time using SELECT * FROM dba_indexes WHERE index_type = 'DOMAIN' AND domidx_status != 'VALID' and drop or rebuild those indexes.
    * Third time through I received the cryptic error
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-22324: altered type has compilation errors
    ORA-22332: a dependent object in schema "NAVTEQ_SF" has errors.
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qctostiix1], [], [], [], [], [],
    [], [], [], [], [], []I had some sample Navteq data for use with the networking demo I never got functioning. At this point after four days of trying I was getting a bit impatient and just decided to drop that schema and try again. I have no idea why this navteg data caused an issue but the error never happened again with any other datasets.
    * Fourth time through the alter type worked! But the script still crashed with
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [qximgcn1], [], [], [], [], [], [],
    ORA-06512: at line 14After eyeballing the script and the spool file it looks like it failed in the final step where it rebuilds all the spatial indexes. This seems right as I found sixty seven bad spatial indexes afterwards. However, it was easy enough to rebuild those by hand myself (I mean have ArcSDE do so).
    So I call this a success! :)
    So I am looking for anyone else's experiences they'd like to share.
    With the amount of undo required, I think it might be a better route to just use the old school exp to export out all spatial data, run the upgrade and then imp it all back in? Or perhaps just dump out the large tables? Weird 00600 errors cause the DBAs (not part of my organization) that manage my production environment to bleed internally. Ideally I would like to avoid all that pain and suffering. Perhaps just dropping ALL the spatial indexes before the upgrade? I guess I would need to open an SR to see what caused the 00600s. I suspect the indexes.
    So I would like to keep this thread tied to the upgrade process and/or planning/strategy for the upgrade process. There are a lot of other issues that we should start new threads over. For example, exchange of data between standard and uber instances as Dalibor is doing. It sure appears that datapump is never going to work and that only the old-school unsupported imp/exp utility can play this role? I have done some initial testing and ESRI's sdeimport/sdeexport tools seems to work fine between these instances. And none of this even scratches the performance issues.
    So hey Dalibor, I know you went through this. Any comments?
    Cheers!
    Paul

    Hi Mike,
    Nice to hear from you. I would indeed be interested in your thoughts on the upgrade and the actual business case surrounding the upgrade or the decision not to upgrade. I am feeling rather skeptical at this point as the side-effects of the medicine so far are pretty serious. But yet the need to treat the disease remains. You can always drop me an email offline at my first name at my last name dot com or via LinkedIn. The nice things about a super-rare unpronounceable Polish last name is I am easy to find - and that's the bad thing too. Here is an update on my testing.
    Per my earlier SR, the folks are Oracle have provided a backport for bug 10085580 for Linux 32-bit. It looks to work just fine and does the trick - problem solved. If one needs something other than Linux you will need to request the backport for your platform. The bug affects more than SDO_GEORASTER so I would recommend this patch as mandatory.
    Moving along my next issue is that Oracle MapViewer does not seem to work with uber SDO_GEOMETRY.
    MapViewer and uber (Very Large) SDO_GEOMETRY upgrade not compatible?
    This is again a bit of a nonstarter as my client has a couple of applications using MapViewer against production instances. I dutifully submitted an SR on the matter yesterday. Almost to be expected the tech immediately asked why I would want to have such a large geometry and why don't I thin it! :)
    It's no fun being in the middle on these things. I suppose I could ring up FEMA or Fish and Wildlife and tell them Oracle Corporation thinks their polygons are crazy. But as they are ESRI-shop folks, I think they would just be puzzled by the statement. If anyone has an opinion on how to broach the topic nicely with public agencies, I would love to hear it. Do we need to create a "citizens against huge polygons" lobby in DC? Again the ESRI shop folks are smirking.
    The other issue in the thread started by Dalibor where the old imp/exp is erratically failing on the table creation statements is probably going to need an SR too. The work around is to just append the data and create your tables by hand ahead of time. On a more positive note ArcSDE seems utterly oblivious to the type change and I have not found any problems using ESRI tools to move stuff around.
    Cheers,
    Paul

  • Looking for some assistance upgrading to snow leopard

    Hello!
    I am upgrading to snow leopard from mac osx 10.4.11 (which i believe is tiger). I have an intel-based mac.
    I have read about doing a "clean install" and have heard that it can be beneficial. I have an external hard drive that is about twice the size of my internal hard drive.
    I will be purchasing the "box set" of snow leopard (i heard that if one is upgrading from tiger they must buy the box set-not sure if this is necessarily true though).
    Ok, so I have searched the forum for "how to do a clean install" and some of the terminology was beyond me.
    I am looking for step-by-step instruction for doing a clean install in layman's terms.
    I think this will be helpful for many others who utilize the search function.
    I thank you in advance and will mark useful responses as such.

    I would not upgrade to Snow unless I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal-drive boot volume on it. I think that there is enough risk upgrading to Snow that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine for an installation backup; I don't trust it enough. To make a bootable clone using Disk Utility (DU):
    1. Start DU;
    2. Make sure you external drive is partitioned GUID (not totally necessary, but I'd do it);
    3. Choose Restore;
    4. Drag your internal volume to the source box;
    5. Drag your external partition to the destination box;
    6. Choose Erase Destination; and
    7. Click restore.
    It will take an hour more or less. Once the clone is made, start up from it to make sure it is functional.
    If you do an erase and install, then you will be able to migrate your data, settings, users, and apps from your clone at the end of the install. If you do not like Snow, then you can restore your internal using the clone. The clone is your data backup, possible migration medium, and fail-safe device.
    To do an erase and install, start up to your DVD by holding down C during startup, and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and to make sure your drive has a GUID partition. If it does, then use disk utility to erase Mac extended (journaled). If it is not GUID, then make it GUID by selecting the number of partitions you want (even if the number shown is what you want). Selecting GUID will erase your drive correctly. In either case, quit Disk Utility, and continue your installation. At the end, you will be able use the Setup Assistant to migrate your data, settings, users, and apps from your clone.
    You probably will want to install at least two of the optional install items, Rosetta (if you plan on using any PPC apps) and QT7. You can install either from the Optional Install Items folder on your on Sno install DVD.
    Leave your Ethernet cable, if any, in place when installing, but unplug all unecessary peripherals except those needed to install.

  • Looking for information on best practices using Live Upgrade to patch LDOMs

    This is in Solaris 10. Relatively new to the style of patching... I have a T5240 with 4 LDOMS. A control LDOM and three clients. I have some fundamental questions I'd like help with..
    Namely:
    #1. The Client LDOMS have zones running in them. Do I need to init 0 the zone or can I just +zoneadm zone halt+ them regardless of state? I.E. if it's running a database will halting the zone essentially snapshot it or will it attempt to shut it down. Is this even a nessessary step.
    #2. What is the reccommended reboot order for the LDOMs? do I need to init 0 the client ldoms and the reboot the control ldom or can I leave the client LDOM's running and just reboot the control and then reboot the clients after the control comes up?
    #3. Oracle. it's running in several of the zones on the client LDOM's what considerations need to be made for this?
    I am sure other things will come up during the conversation but I have been looking for an hour on Oracle's site for this and the only thing I can find is old Sun Docs with broken links.
    Thanks for any help you can provide,

    Before you use live upgrade, or any other patching technique for Solaris, please be sure to read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23823_01/html/E23801/index.html which includes information on upgrading systems with non-global zones. Also, go to support.oracle.com and read Oracle Solaris Live Upgrade Information Center [ID 1364140.1]. These really are MANDATORY READING.
    For the individual questions:
    #1. During the actual maintenance you don't have to do anything to the zone - just operate it as normal. That's the purpose of the "live" in "live upgrade" - you're applying patches on a live, running system under normal operations. When you are finisihed with that process you can then reboot into the new "boot environment". This will become more clear after reading the above documents. Do as you normally would do before taking a planned outage: shut the databases down using the database commands for a graceful shutdown. A zone halt will abruptly stop the zone and is not a good idea for a database. Alternatively, if you can take application outages, you could (smoothly) shutdown the applications and then their domains, detach the zones (zoneadm detach) and then do a live upgrade. Some people like that because it makes things faster. After the live upgrade you would reboot and then zoneadm attach the zones again. The fact that the Solaris instance is running within a logical domain really is mostly besides the point with respect to this process.
    As you can see, there are a LOT of options and choices here, so it's important to read the doc. I ***strongly*** recommend you practice on a test domain so you can get used to the procedure. That's one of the benefits of virtualization: you can easily set up test environments so you cn test out procedures. Do it! :-)
    #2 First, note that you can update the domains individually at separate times, just as if they were separate physical machines. So, you could update the guest domains one week (all at once or one at a time), reboot them into the new Solaris 10 software level, and then a few weeks later (or whenever) update the control domain.
    If you had set up your T5240 in a split-bus configuration with an alternate I/O domain providing virtual I/O for the guests, you would be able to upgrade the extra I/O domain and the control domain one at a time in a rolling upgrade - without ever having to reboot the guests. That's really powerful for providing continuous availability. Since you haven't done that, the answer is that at the point you reboot the control domain the guests will lose their I/O. They don't crash, and technically you could just have them continue until the control domain comes back up at which time the I/O devices reappear. For an important application like a database I wouldn't recommend that. Instead: shutdown the guests. then reboot the control domain, then bring the guest domains back up.
    3. The fact that Oracle database is running in zones inside those domains really isn't an issue. You should study the zones administration guide to understand the operational aspects of running with zones, and make sure that the patches are compatible with the version of Oracle.
    I STRONGLY recommend reading the documents mentioned at top, and setting up a test domain to practice on. It shouldn't be hard for you to find documentation. Go to www.oracle.com and hover your mouse over "Oracle Technology Network". You'll see a window with a menu of choices, one of which is "Documentation" - click on that.

    Essentially I'm looking for a step based filter plugin that works in a similar way to Delay Designer, whereby you can define the cutoff/resonance/pan etc within a grid, thus giving complete control over where, when and for how long parts are filtered.
    This would be a pretty cool plug I think and I've looked before but not found anything. I like the simplicity of Delay Designer too so I don't want to get lost in features I don't need. Does anyone know of such a thing? I have Reaktor if anyone knows any user files, but I always find it a bit complex and painful. Otherwise I'm prepared to pay for something if it's decent.
    Cheers

    This has a 128 step sequencer for filtering and panning:

    Also the Ensemble "Vierring" in your Reaktor factory Library has fantastic filtering features as each of the 4 filter bands can be linked to it's own step sequencer plus many FX options.
