Mac OS X 10.3.6 vs. higher versions

As has been noted elsewhere by Ronald Rood and others, there is a kernel update / patched version pointed to by Oracle that you can download from Apple for 10.3.6 Server, descried on the Metalink article http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=169706.1
We have already done the Apple-recommended security and other updates to 10.3.7 and are curious whether the kernel version changes to the point that the above patched version still applies. Can someone who has the patched kernel installed please do a kextstat | head and compare to the results below (for 10.3.7 Server, I think the kernel is the same as for regular 10.3.7)?
~ oracle$ kextstat | head

Hi Alan,
I already asked oracle support about this and the answer was that the patch was not in time for 10.3.7. You can expect problems with a mprotect code path but it was not possible to tell in what situation the problem could occur.
My first production site is also running 10.3.7 - since dec 31th 2004 - and apart from the memory leak issue we dit not experience any problems. For who is still building a system, go for the 10.3.6 release since oracle support won't do anything for you when you run on an unsupported release. With a little luck it's fixed in 10.3.8
BTW: did you get ocssd.bin to run on the client ? If so, would you like to share how you managed to get it running ? On the 10.3.7 server it went right out of the box but on my 10.3.7 client not :-(
with kind regards,
Ronald

Upgrade MacBook OS from original Mac OS x 10.4.11 to higher Version

Hi Support Team,
I am using an old MacBook installed with Mac OS x 10.4.11.
I wish to upgrade my Max OS to a higher version.
What could be done?
Thanks,

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

My mac OS X 10.4 doesn't support new I tunes 10 it needs a SO X 10.5 or higher. My new I phone G4 requires a higher version. I can't download my existing library to my new phone. What can I do?

upgrade to at least OS X 10.5.x or, if your machine supports it, OS X 10.6.
you should still be able to get 10.5. from Apple but it'll run you about $ 130. OS X 10.6. costs $ 30.

Why my mac air don't support the dock library version 1.0, if this needs the system mac os x 10.5 or higher, and my is os x 10.7.5?

Why my mac air don't support the dock library version 1.0, if this needs the system mac os x 10.5 or higher, and my is os x 10.7.5?

For Snow Leopard you require version 2.1.4. However AFAIK you can't buy this from Apple any more: the current version requires Lion 10.7.5 at minimum.
Amazon are offering v.2.1.1 in the UK - this is not compatible with Snow Leopard either but you should be able to apply an upgrade to 2.1.4. -
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL913
I can't guarantee this will work. You may be able to get advice in the Aperture forum.
Your only other alternative is to upgrade your Mac to Lion 10.7.5 if it us compatible, and buy the current version.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.

how could iI upgrade my OS from Mac OS 10.5.8 to the Latest version Mountain Lion

Hello,
You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:

The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

Problem with iPhoto 9.2.1 update to a higher version.

Hi, I have a problem with iPhoto 9.2.1 update to a higher version. I tried to install version 9.2.3 and version 9.2.2 and each time the installer returns the message that must have version 9.1.0. Both the update downloaded from Apple.

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.

Is there a plan to bring out an 80GB or higher version of the Zen Vision M in the near futu

I would like to purchase a Creative Zen Visio?M 60GB. My only hesitation is the size of the hard disk. Can anyone tell me if?there a plan to release an 80GB or higher version in the near future and if so when this is likely to be?
Many thanks

But is there a way (simple or not-so-simple) to find
out EVERY SINGLE FILE that's referenced on a
timeline? (I have lots of stuff imported into the
project that I know isn't used on any timeline, but
I'm afraid of moving or deleting things for fear of
never finding it again.)
I'd love to get some sort of "printout" (a list or
something) of every single file.
There is, go to browser and cntrl click on any one of the columns,
and select - show/source. A new column named "source" will pop up and will show where everything "lives". Click on the header at the top and it will justify the column as well. You'll notice this won't show anything for your seq.'s. of course, but will show stills/audio/motion files...
Once you have the new column, you can drag it next to the "name" column and get a grab of it and print it if you like, or whatever.
If you want to do this for just 1 seq., then can create a new bin and double click it to open it. Cntrl-A (select all) in your main seq. and just drag all into the new bin. You will see only what's in that seq. with the "source" column right next to it.
From what I've read, you seem to get the MM thing and it's obviously what you'll need to do to archive as the guys said. But what your missing is a file path system to where everything resides.
Hope this helps and that I've read you properly,
Peace
