My First Major Version Upgrade on Mac

Hello, this is going to be my first experience with a major version upgrade on a Mac. My question is simple, will Software Update see it (it doesn't show version 8 yet) or am I to download it manually seeing as it's already available for manual install.
Thanks.

Thank you for your quick reply. I will sit here and wait then.

Major version upgrade of WebLogic with zero/minimal downtime

From what I can tell, the recommended approach for supporting minimal downtime during major version upgrades (e.g. WL 9 -> WL 10) is to have 2 domains available in the production environment.
Leave one running to support existing users, upgrade the other domain, then swap to perform the upgrade on the first domain.
We are planning on starting out with WL 9.1, but moving forward we require very high availability...(99.99%).
Is this my only option?
According to BEA marketing literature, service pack upgrades can be applied with "zero" downtime...but if this isn't reality, I'd like to hear more...
Thanks...

Have gotten as far as upgrading all of the software, deleting /var/db/.AppleSetupDone, and rebooting. It brought me back in to Setup Assistant and let me choose "migrate from another mac os x server" and is now sitting waiting for me to take the old server down and boot it into target disk mode. Which we can probably do Sunday at about 2am or so...
You know, Setup Assistant should really let you run Software Update BEFORE migrating from another machine. We have servers that can't be down for SoftwareUpdates in the middle of the day...

JSE 6 needed for the next major version of the Mac SAPgui

Apple has a developers' preview version JSE 6, but they don't yet support it. Hence, the Mac version of the Java SAPgui doesn't yet use JSE 6, even though the Java SAPgui on other platforms does use JSE 6. It is likely that by the time of SAP's next major release of the Java SAPgui, Apple will support JSE 6 and the Mac SAPgui will require it.
Currently Apple's implementation of JSE 6 requires a 64-bit Intel processor running Leopard. If this remains true in Apple's final release of JSE 6, then the next major release of the Mac SAPgui won't run on any MacOS X prior to Leopard and won't run on PowerPC or 32-bit Intel based Macs even with Leopard.
I'm told that Sun has both 32-bit and 64-bit JSE 6 JVMs for Windows, for Linux, and for Solaris.
My organization (MIT) has submitted a bug report to Apple about this. It is possible that Apple might pay more attention if a number of their customers made a joint request.
If your organization would be interested in joining such a joint request to Apple to support JSE 6 on (at least) all supported Leopard platforms, please let me know.
Thanks.

P.S. If you work for Apple and you think you might be able to help with this, please contact me.

Here is the current situation with respect to SAP's Mac JavaGui and
Apple's Java SE 6, as I understand it:
a. The SAPgui for Java 7.20 is planned for the fourth quarter of
   calendar 2008.
b. SAP's support for the SAPgui for Java 7.10 is planned to end on
   31-Dec-2008.
c. The Mac SAPgui for Java 7.20 will be able to use Java SE 6.
d. SAP has not yet decided whether the Mac SAPgui for Java 7.20 will
   also be able to use an earlier version of Java (i.e. J2SE 5.0).
e. Apple's Java SE 6 is only available for Mac OS X 10.5.2 and later
   on 64-bit Intel-based Macs (not PowerPC-based or 32-bit Intel-based
   Macs). Apple has not mentioned any plans to support Java SE 6 on
   any PowerPC-based or 32-bit Intel-based Macs or any Macs running
   Tiger, although there is a possibility that Apple might announce
   support for some of those platforms at their upcoming Worldwide
   Developers Conference (June 9-13, 2008, in San Francisco).
f. Sun has both 32-bit and 64-bit JSE 6 JVMs for Windows, for Linux,
   and for Solaris.
g. The last PowerPC-based Macs (Power Mac G5) were sold in August 2006
   and the last 32-bit Intel-based Macs (Mac mini) were sold in August
   2007.
h. Assuming that the Mac SAPgui for Java 7.20 will require Java SE 6
   and Apple doesn't extend their support of Java SE 6 to other
   platforms, then as of 1-Jan-2009, you won't be able to run an
   SAP-supported version of the Mac SAPgui for Java on PowerPc Macs
   bought as recently as August 2006 or 32-bit Intel Macs bought as
   recently as August 2007 or on any Macintosh running Tiger.
Best regards,

Major version upgrade cost for Photoshop Touch

Does anyone know if each major Photoshop Touch version will be a paid upgrade or is it a wait and see until we reach 2.0 kind of thing? I have no issue with paying for upgrades and developers should get rewarded for their hard work. I'm just wondering if I pull the trigger now or wait until a 2.0 update. I see that PS Touch is only on version 1.4 so maybe I just pull the trigger now, not worry about it and enjoy while I can. I think I just answered my own question. ;)

Hello:
Re-running my models will take at least a week of compute time. In the meantime I need to do some scoring. Is there a way I can recover a former run with existing models and scoring module so I can get my results?
Thanks for your help. This is the experiment (which now fails):

After I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free app upgrades for the apps I have on my iPad/iPhone/iMac which i had previously purchased. Itunes tells me I "don't own the major versions".

After I downloaded and install the latest iTunes software upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free upgrades to the apps on my iPhone or iPad.
The App Store just says I "don't own the major versions", which of course is nonsense. It seems as if Apple's iTunes/App Store has deleted my download history. Any suggestions?
Regards,
Bruce

Actually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I open my i photo library there are no pictures. The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade.Scared to hit upgrade!!!

I recently upgraded my mac desktop to oxs 10.9.2 and when I opened i photo, it says the photo livrary needs to be upgraded to work with this version of I photo. Where are my pictures? The message is "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of Iphoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete". I'm scared to upgrade!! Does this mean my photos can't be read once I upgrade? Where are my pictures?

First have you backed up your computer, if you have and your iPhoto library is in the back up you have nothing to be concerned about. If you are not using at least Time Machine to back up your system then you should be concerned because well frankly that is simply bad computing practice and you risking all of your data.
As for the message you received all that means is your system was using an earlier version of iPhoto with the version of OS X you previously had installed and now that you have updated to 10.9.2 (Mavericks) your version of iPhoto has also upgraded and needs to get ready to import all of your pictures. If you have backup then you should be confident the upgrade will go through smoothly, Apple generally has very good instructions and will not give bad advice, second guessing them may be cautious but is generally unnecessary.

HT1338 how do i upgrade my Mac OS X version 10.5.8

how do i upgrade my Mac OS X version 10.5.8?

If your Macbook has an Intel processor, you can first upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
You need to purchase that from the Apple retail Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If you are not in the US, use the flag button at the bottom of the page to change to your country's store.
Depending on they type of Intel macbook it is, you may be able to upgrade further to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Open About this Mac from the Apple menu.
Then, click on More Info.
Select the Hardware heading and llok at the Model Identifier.
I can't remember if it was called that or if that OS had a hardware section, but you are looking for something like macbook5,1
If that first number is less than a 5, you can't go any further than Lion. Unless there is something in Lion you need, I would stick with Snow Leopard.
If the first number is a 5 or greater, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion. Once you have installed 10.6 and updated it to 10.6.8, you can purchase and install Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store (which is available in the Apple menu of OS X 10.6.8 or later).
However, if you want to go beyond Snow Leopard, make sure you purchase enough RAM to have at least 4GB. Any less than that would not be pleasant.
Additionally, Mavericks, 10.9, is due to be released this fall. You may want to wait until then and just upgrade to that instead of Mountain Lion (10.8). Either way, you will need to purchase and install 10.6 from DVD. You need to keep that disk if you ever need to reinstall the OS.

Can I upgrade OS X 10.5.7 to the latest OS version for my Mac Book?

Can I upgrade My Mac Book OS X 10.5.8 to the latest version OS X? Thanks. Alan.

It depends on the computer's exact model. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Help Updates Doesn't upgrade major version to 2014, only applies minor version updates

I have Adobe Creative Cloud for OS X deployed to many machines using CCP and Casper and I have now set up AUSST.
On one test machine, I opened one CC application and went to Help > Updates and installed all available updates. It appears to only install minor version number updates, not Major version number upgrades, so my machine is not on CC 2014.
Is this expected behaviour? Should I now be on 2014, or do I need to build a new package using CCP for 2014?
If I need to build a new package, what do I do regarding the existing installations? DO i need to remove all those components first?
Thanks,
Alan.

Alan,
This, like it or not, is the world of CC 2014. They are new versions -- upgrades rather than updates. The pre-CC 2014 versions can be installed alongside the new versions without a problem. They will need to be uninstalled individually if you don't want them lying around. And sadly, unlike the CS suites, there is no single uninstaller that will remove all the unwanted CC applications. They need to be removed one-by-one.
We should let one of the Adobe moderators vet this response, but this is my understanding and experience.

I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?

Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

Problems with Mail after upgrading to MAC OS10 version 10.6.8

I upgraded to MAC OS10 version 10.6.8 about ten days ago, and have since had lots of problems with mail. Since I upgraded, I have downloaded several software updates, including one for improving the general softeware system of Leopard. Since this morning, I no longer have the Mail icon in the dock and when I try to open it in Applications a window comes up saying:
'You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X. You have Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085). It can't be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549)
Can I download a version that I can use with this Mac, and can anybody give me the site where I can find this. I have tried without success

You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

After the in place upgrade from SharePoint server 2007 to 2010, the out of the box approval workflow does not prompt for additional information after check in of a major version.

I think it has to do with the interaction between Word, InfoPath, IIS, and /or SharePoint, but I cannot put my finger on it. Maybe client integration or authentication settings? I have looked at it in wireshark
and have not seen anything glaring.
Steps to reproduce the (working) behavior:
Set up a document library in SharePoint 2010.
Under versioning settings, make the following changes:
Set Require Content Approval for submitted Items to Yes
Select Create Major and Minor (draft) versions
Set require checkout to Yes
Create an out of the box “approval” workflow with the following settings:
Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item.
I then create a new document. Save it. check it in. it is now version 0.1.
I then open it again. check it out. Make a change. Close and save it.
Check it in.
Publish major version:
At this point a screen is presented to me to enter workflow parameters. This screen comes up in Enterprise 2013 and MOSS 2007, but not the migrated version of 2010:
This is what I need help with. It should come up in 2010. To fix it in 2013, I had to change the IIS bindings to only have 1 entry for a port. I did this for 2010 and it did not work.
Any help or ideas is very appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Chris,
According to your description, my understanding is that the approval workflow cannot work when the workflow was set to start to approve publishing a major version of an item after upgrading to SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to check the approval workflow in Workflow settings of the corresponding library to see if the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is checked.
For test, I recommend to create a new OOB approval workflow and set it to start to approve publishing a major version of an item in the same library to see if the workflow can work.
Thanks

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 Mavericks 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 Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         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
