Mac Box Set for iLife '09 and iWork '09 - what does it mean for me?

Apple recently offered the Mac Box Set on their online Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB997
It comes both in family and single user license.
If you recently bought a new Mac on or after January 6, 2009, and it lacked iLife '09 after January 6, 2009, Apple offered an up to date program for iLife:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/uptodate/
Which says:
The program ends on March 28, 2009. Your order must be postmarked or faxed by April 3, 2009, and received by April 10, 2009.
Assuming it is not extended, I won't ask this tip to be updated.
Since the Mac Box Set includes iLife '09 and iWork '09, check the system requirements below to see if your Mac is able to use that update:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/systemrequirements.html
http://www.apple.com/iwork/systemrequirements.html
Mac OS X 10.5.6 will run on any PowerPC or Intel Mac that is 867 Mhz or faster with built-in processor (not including the 800 Mhz dual processor Macs or slower), with 512 MB of RAM, and 9 GB of free disk space. Realistically that has been found to be 9 GB+ 15% free of disk space by end users.
1. If you bought your Mac on or after January 6, getting the iLife up to date, and iWork '09 installer may be the most you'll need to do if your Mac didn't come bundled with iLife '09.
2. If you bought a new Mac post December 15, 2008 but pre-January 6, buying iLife and iWork separtely is probably the best deal.
3. If you bought your Mac post October 26, 2007, but pre-December 15, 2008, the Mac Box set will work with your machine, but may not be necessary unless you lack the ability to contact AppleCare, and lack the ability to get the original discs that came with your Mac, and have no other way to install 10.5. Getting a single user license is good if all you have is one Mac that meets those qualifications, and a family pack if you have 5 Macs in the same household that meet those requirements.
4. Macs purchased prior to October 26, 2007, get the best deal out of the Mac Box Set if they meet the iLife, iWork, and Leopard requirements. Getting a single user license is good if all you have is one Mac that meets those qualifications, and a family pack if you have 5 Macs in the same household that meet those requirements.

Sorry about that, but at this time, this tip is outdated. Remove?

Any word yet if Apple will be making a Mac Box Set for Lion?

It seems like they would since they no longer stock the Mac Box Set for Snow Leopard. I need the box set in order to reset my iMac to factory settings and no longer have the original discs. I tried getting replacements through Apple and they said I would have to purchase all the software separatly. I wish Apple would come out with the Lion box set already. I'm trying to avoid purchasing the Snow Leopard, iLife and etc, etc and then a week later a Lion Box Set comes out. I wonder if Lion discs will come out once they reveal the iPhone 5? Thanks!

The short of it is that, until Apple officially announces something, we don't know.
Keep in mind, though- Apple is moving away from physical media, especially disc-based. Lion is only available by download or USB drive.
We don't know if Apple will ever release a Lion "Box set" with iLife, or by what media/method. We just don't know.

Spatial conform and blend mode; what does it mean and wherefore?

I can't find a explination in the help...: spatial conform and blend mode; what does it mean and when do you use it because there is e a big numbre of choises.
Ican't find a explination in the help...
Thanks!

Spatial conform is where you decide whether you want the (oversize) image to fit the video display size, or to be full-size (allowing room for animation).
Blend modes - far too many to describe here even if I knew them all, but Overlay is a nice one to start with. They specify how you want a layer to blend with the one below it. Try them and see what they do.

I get the following error message day in and day out, what does it mean -- what can I do to make it go away? The server responded: "403" to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.

I get the following error message day in and day out, what does it mean -- what can I do to make it go away? "The server responded: “403” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation."

Now it keeps saying that it is restored but there is still no music or video on it. And a new error is coming up that says "We could not complete your iTunes store request.The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

this is an apple generated message. simple!
what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

OAS is in "Continue and Converge" status, what does it mean ?

Hi all,
Could any body please explain, what does it mean by : OAS is in "Continue and Converge" status ?
What is the impact on our mission critical application that we to deploy on it (OAS 10g/11g) ?
What will happen to OAS 11g ?
Thank you,

The message in the log is the last thing recorded before my system experiences screen flickering, system lockup, and then a screen full of a random color such as a dark red, dark yellow, grey, or black. I can see that the screen is still on and back lit, but I have to force quit the computer and restart it.
I have not been able to reproduce the problem to a specific piece of software as it has occurred while running Safari, Pages, Starcraft 2, heck even just moving documents around in the Finder. The problem started at the end of March.
Apple Hardware, Disk Utilities, and TechTool Pro 6 says, for the most part, that everything is just fine. TTP6 did highlight 3 issues with the SMART parameters for my hard drive - 2 of which ("Seek Error Rate" & "Hardware ECC Recovered") still passed the test. The one hard drive issue that failed the test was the "Temperature Changes".
For absolute completeness sake, after exhausting my bag of troubleshooting tricks, I started from scratch. (Something I haven't had to do since the days of OS 9.)
I have since :
Thoroughly wiped my drive.
Reformatted my drive.
Reinstalled Lion (which I've used since its release without problem).
Used TTP6 to Defrag & rebuild directories.
All software is up to date.
The only additional software I've reinstalled, for graphical stress testing is SC 2.
The system still randomly suffers screen flickers, followed by system lockup, and then the screen displays a solid color = force system reboot.
My fixation on the graphic hardware is because the most reoccurring log reports from the Console notify of a GPU restart and the "NVIDIA" channel report. Oh, a few days ago I did get a kernal panic on :

I'm trying to empty my trash on my mac but it won't because it's "UpdatingDockTail" What does this mean?

I'm trying to empty my Trash on my desk top but a window pops up saying "The operation can't be completed because the item "UpgradeDockTail" is in use.
It then has stop or continue to choose from but nothing happens when I click on either one. What does this mean and how do I stop it?

Log out, log back in, and try again. If that doesn't work, reboot.

Single and strategy plan( What does it means )?

Hi all,
Please explain me what does single cycle plan and strategy plan means.
Following is my requirement.
( Since Swedish mills and other units use not only single cycle plans but also strategy plans , sometimes with multiple operations to each maint item, there is a need for cycle and cycle unit (interval) and work center on operation level on the layout in the report zpm_huvud.
There is also a need for maint plan name, plant section and work center (on operation level) as search criteria in the variant. The reason for this is that we use plan name as grouping criteria for multiple objects in rounds. The criteria work center description text should be changed into main work center.
We also need to be able to sort the answer in the layout in two ways : by functional location or by maintenance plan.
The plans that have object lists and/or have no operation lists also need to be shown in the report. All text on maintenance plan should be shown in the report )
Please explain me this with one example...
Its urgent.
Thanx in advance,
Amruta.

hi
single cycle plan
say for example you are planning to replace the bearing of a pump every 500 hrs of ruuning ,you use this plan to generated the maintenance order when the operating hours reaches 500 hrs.
Stratergy
In case of DG set there are lot of components to be maintained based on running hours for example for ever 100 hrs filters to be cleaned,every 500 hrs lub oil to be changed.In this case you can use strategy based maintenance plan .you can create 2 operation in the task list and assign to the respective package,so onec the 100 hrs has reached system will create maintenance call object as filters to be changed and in 500 hrs it will say lub oil replacement

Hi again
Well I tried eliminating my printer, and starting over again like you suggested, but still cannot get my printer connected to my access point wirelessly.
Also, when I was in the process of installing the printer, I received the following message:
"System extension cannot be used
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/IOFireWireMxBt.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
What the heck does that mean???
Thanks!

Cd won't eject and kernal panics: what does it mean?

I've been getting kernal panics from time to time recently, and just last night a burned DVD refused to mount, show up in Disk Utility, or eject. i tried rebooting with the mouse down with no effect, and then i tried option-apple-O-F'ing and typing "eject CD," but it told me "can't OPEN the EJECT drive." is there anything i can do to get the DVD out? i'm out of warranty and apple care at this point.
The drive still makes noises on bootup, so at least the power is connected correctly. But I just checked System Profiler, and under Disc Burning it says, "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly." Does this just mean that the drive somehow got disconnected? Would it be worth my while to open the computer up and make sure the connection is tight?

you'd be wasting your time; its so tight in there that the optical has no place to go.

Apps problem! When trying to load apps I keep getting a dialogue box: 'Password will be sent in the clear' what does this mean?

When trying to load my recently puchased Apps this is the message that appears---Please adavise. Thank you. Richard (New Boy on the Block)

The IP address shown is 192.168.0.1:80. This is an address on your local network and is probably the address of your router. The port number shown is port 80 which is the standard HTTP (web server) port. It looks like your router thinks that you are attempting to open an administrative browser session with it. Since this is incorrect your router or possibly your iPad may be having some problem. Try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. I would also suggest resetting your iPad.
Reset iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears - ignore the power off slider.

I have os 10.4. Why do I need the mac box set to upgrade to snow leopard?

I have os 10.4. Why do I need the mac box set to upgrade to snow leopard? What happens if I upgrade with just a 10.6 upgrade?

No iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, Garageband, but I can pinch those off the 10.4 installer disk using Pacifist.
You can usually get those from the original grey installer discs that came with your Mac without bothering with Pacifist. Look for an 'installed bundled software' or similarly named item on one of those discs, generally the #1 disc. Run that & the original versions of those apps that were bundled with your Mac will be installed. Software Update will let you know if there is an update you can download for them (but of course that won't include an upgrade to a more recent major version, which you would have to buy separately).

How much free space do you have?

What does this mean and why? How to fix?Mac OS X Version 10.8.56.6 (1510/1508). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.8.5 (Build 12F37).

Therefore black birds are crows.
The build I have is the released build of Mail. I reinstalled it as directed and it didn't help. That indicates that the problem is with my version of OS X.

The above are examples of flawed logic.
Seriously now. Since you obviously don't know what a Combo Update is, I will tell you. A Combo Update is short for a COMBINATION of Updates. That means that there is MORE THAN ONE update in a Combo Update. It is, therefore, quite proper to speak of "one of the Combo Updates". For people whose first language is not English and are not familiar with its subtle nuances, perhaps I should have said "One of the updates contained within the Combo Update was"
"There aren't "versions" of the combo update, unless Apple releases a revision"?
This is plain silly. It means "There aren't versions unless there are"
Also I didn't use the word "version". See above for the explanation of what I DID say.
Are you one of those TROLLS I keep hearing about?
I hope you got a lot of phoney Help points for not actually helping.
Don't bother replying, I won't come back to this thread, so I wont see it. Of course you'll get another phoney Help point, so I suppose you will, but I'll never know. Doesn't that mess with your head?
Bye Bye
What an attitude you have.
Erase your drive and reinstall correctly, stop messing about with incremental patches. The routine you need is BERR (backup, erase, reinstall, restore) or just stay as yu are, it is entirely up to you.

The depth of your ignorance shows here, there are no phoney points, only ones awarded by posters who receive solutions, and only at the original posters choice.
