Missing MacintoshHD when upgrading from 10.4.11 to Leopard

I have an older mbp with tiger 10.4.11. When I open disk utility, I see the drive and MacintoshHD volume. When I try to upgrade to Leopard with the DVD disk, it boots, but when it shows the disks available to update, the MacintoshHD is not shown. If I open the Disk Utility on the Leopard DVD, no MacintoshHD volume. If I reboot to the local Tiger disk, I see the MacintoshHD volume again. Any suggestion on why this is happening and how I can resolve the issue?

I'd say you have a garbaged disk. Try this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now see if you have success with Leopard. BTW, what is the source of your Leopard DVD?

When upgrading from OS X lion to OS X mountain lion will it automatically uninstall OS X lion

when upgrading from OS X lion to OS X mountain lion will it automatically uninstall OS X lion?

Yes. You download Mountain Lion from the App Store and, once the download is complete, the installation of Mountain Lion will begin. You can quit it at this point and backup the "Install OS Mountain Lion.app" (which I suggest) the double-click it and begin the installation.
All remnants of Lion will be gone and you'll be running Mountain Lion.
Good luck,

Best practice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

Does anyone know the best pratice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
Computers are being upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
What is the best pratice for Smartview in this situation?
1. Do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
2. Install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
3. Uninstall Smartview, Install Excel 2007, and then install Smartview
4. Somthing else??
Thanks!

We went with option 1 and it worked out fine. Be aware that SV processes noticeably slower in Excel 2007 than 2003. Many users were/are unhappy with the switch. We haven't tested SV v11 yet, so I'm not sure if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

When upgrading from osx 10.7.4 to osx mountain lion I get the following Alert! This update requires OS X version 10.8.

When upgrading from osx 10.7.4 to osx mountain lion I get the following Alert! This update requires OS X version 10.8.

Sounds like you downloaded the 10.8.1 update instead of the Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store.
You have to purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store to get to 10.8

How do I save itunes when upgrading from osx4 to osx5 ?

how do I save itunes. bookmark, when upgrading from osx4 to osx5?

When you upgrade attached to iTunes a backup copy is made...then after the upgrade the backup is used to restore all the content to your iDevice, assuming you are actually talking about upgrading from iOS 4 to iOS 5.

Apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. why is this?

Firstly, I really like the new reminders in iOS 7. However, I noticed that apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center.
why is this? am i doing something from?

unfortunately, that does not address my question. your link describes how to clear the missed section of center. I know how to clear the missed section of notification center, as I said in the original question. I will re-peat my question to clarify. it is:
apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center.
why is this? am i doing something wrong?
the behavior I would expect would be that when i click the circle on the "today" view. it would clear it out from the missed and all view so i would not have to clear in 2 areas.
I Hope this clarifies...

Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

Bonjour.
J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?

Lost bootcamp capability when upgrading from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10?

When upgrading from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 while dual booting with Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition, I can't access the Windows partition any more. When I restart my computer and hold the alt key the only drives that are shown are my Mac OS X and Recovery (usually there is the bootcamp drive there too). Does anyone have any solutions? I can still access my windows 7 files from within my Mac partition weirdly enough. And if there aren't any solutions, is bootcamp broken on Yosemite? Is it safe to redo the process and put a fresh Windows 7 or Windows 8 partition back on bootcamp again? I'm not tech savvy enough to understand all of the coding components so if you want to walk me through it you can, or just provide a simple explanation, any help is grateful. Thanks for your help.

Welcome To Discussions Dedesu!
Here is some additional info.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some additional online Apple retailers, like Amazon, FastMac, etc, and as posted, eBay.
As also posted, be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs. They will not work.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info here Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs.
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Panther Install & Upgrade Hints
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

Abap issues when upgrading from 4.7 to ecc6.0

hello All,
I am posting this question with intention of general issues we face that are abap related when upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6.0,
do the programs ahve to be adjusted, if sumone cud also throw some light on what is unicode and wat role does it play in the upgrade,
some specific examples wud be appreciated
thanks,
RS

hi,
Go through this
Unicode is an international standard that assigns characters from virtually every
language and script a unique Unicode Scalar Value, which is a number written in
hexadecimal notation.
     Character     Unicode Scalar Value     Unicode Character Name
     A      U+0041          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
     Ä     U+00C4          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS
     α     U+03B1          GREEK SMALL LATTER ALPHA
Implementing the Unicode standard enables a single software product or a single
web site to be accessed across multiple platforms, languages, and countries without
the need for re-engineering. It allows data to be transferred across many different
SAP and non-SAP systems without corruption. To meet these requirements, the SAP
Unicode team continues to promote Unicode-enabled SAP systems, aid their
installation, and provide tools and full technical support for the smooth
conversion of existing SAP non-Unicode systems to Unicode.

File sharing no longer works after upgrading from 10.3.9 to Leopard

I'm trying to do file sharing on my PowerMac G5 with my MacBook Pro. The problem is when I try to connect to the G5 I get no response.
Powermac G5 was just upgraded from 10.3.9 to Leopard 10.5.6 (clean install, then used Migration Assistant to copy over files). File sharing worked fine on 10.3.9 until I upgraded the G5 to Leopard (the MBP has had Leopard for several months).
MacBook Pro is running 10.5.4.
From the Finder I select Go->Connect to Server. I select "browse", and the window that opens shows my G5 in the list (it's the only one). I double-click on my G5 and near the top of the window it shows "Connecting..." with the little spinner at the bottom right of the window, but that is as far as it gets. Just no response after that.
I tried to Ping the G5 but got no response.
At first I was trying this wirelessly through my Zoom DSL modem, but to troubleshoot I hooked up the two computers directly with an Ethernet cable but got the same result. No response from the G5.
I have File Sharing turned on in the G5's System Preferences. All 5 users have as least their write box shared. I've even set up a separate shared folder in one account.
Please, if you have any ideas please let me know. I'm stuck.
- LW

Wow. 64 views and not a single reply. I found a workaround, but I can't explain it so I'm going to keep this question unanswered for now.
I had the firewall on the G5 set to "allow only essential services", and file sharing was listed but still not working. However, if I change the firewall on the G5 to "Set access for specific services and applications" file sharing would work. I could sit there and toggle back and forth between the two settings and watch file sharing alternately work and then fail depending on the setting.
Weird.

Can't play long voice memo after upgrading from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS

I have a voice memo that's 1.5 hrs long saved on my computer that I used to be able to play in iTunes & Quicktime, but ever since I upgraded from Tiger OS to Snow Leopard OS, the file will not play anymore. I tried installing quicktime 7 from the snow leopard optional installs but the file still didn't play. I also installed the VLC player which opened the file, but only played 7 minutes of it. When I try to open the file in quicktime it says that it can't play the file and that it is not a movie file, but my file is saved as a ".mov" file. Does anyone know how I can get the file to play again?

Upgrading from 10.3.9 to Leopard

I have an iMac OS X version 10.3.9. This is a Power PC G4 flat panel iMac
I just bought Mac OS X Leopard so I can upgrade in order to use a new Nano, but when I put the installation disc in nothing happens and then the disc eventually just self-ejects. Any ideas?

Besides making sure that you have the system requirements you need to know that you cannot do an upgrade from 10.3.9 to Leopard by using the upgrade option it is made for upgrading Tiger.
You need to do an archive and install.
Insert the disk and choose restart from the apple menu.
When the computer makes the startup sound, hold down on the letter "c" until the apple appears on the screen.
The computer will start to the install disk and you need to proceed until you get to the destination screen.
In the destination screen select the hard drive volume and then select the options button.
You will be presented with several options.
Choose to do an archive and install preserving user and network settings.
If errors are found on the internal hard drive the installer will only present you with the option to erase and install.
Only erase and install if you are willing to lose everything on the drive.
If it will not let you archive and install - stop and restart the computer and save whatever you don't want to lose from your hard drive.
If you need help finding how to back up various files like emails, bookmarks, address book contacts, etc. the call applecare.
Apple offers 90 days of phone support with the Leopard purchase - take advantage of the offer.
