Need to upgrade, concerned about running epson 7800 from 10.6

My G5 is dying, and might have to get a new Mac Pro. Does anyone know if I'll be able to use my existing icc profiles in CS2 on Snow Leopard, to print on an Epson 7800? I have print editions in progress, and need to be able to continue working in the same color environment.
Can I possibly get a new Mac and run 10.5.8 on it instead of 10.6?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Epson's Web site does list a driver for OS X 10.6 for that printer. In addition, this Apple page
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#epson
does mention a "Gutenprint" driver.

No. In general, a Mac can't run a version of OS X older than the one that first shipped with it. However, you could buy a used Mac that runs OS X 10.5.8. MacTracker (http://mactracker.dreamhosters.com/) will give you information of the version of OS X that was current for each model.

Restart with the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD in the drive or with the Lion USB drive connected, hold down the Option key just after the restart, tab to the installation disk, and press Enter. If the computer has a firmware password set, it needs to be provided for this to work.

Hi Mark,
You need to Update to OS X 10.6.8 = Snow Leopard so you can Update iTunes to Sync your iPhone.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

I need to upgrade my desktop running version 10.5.8. Do I have to install snow leopard first or can I go directly to mountain lion?

Not necessary. The Apple web store has Snow Leopard disks at a very attractive price:

Yesterday while on WiFi at an international airport, I suddenly lost content in Safari and a window popped up that suggested that someone was trying to spoof setup.iCloud. Do I need to be concerned about malware or other residual problems.

After arriving home to my own network, Safari still was acting strange. Do I need to be concerned with possible malware or other destructive software remaining on my iPad?

Can I upgrade my macbook pro operating system from 10.4.11 to 10.5?

Yes. Since you have a MacBook Pro, upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 instead; it's free for paid members of MobileMe.

[MAC newbie]: Concerns about moving to MAC from Windows

Hello.
I want to upgrade my PC.
I'm having thoughts of moving from Windows to Macintosh (Mac Pro), but there are a few things that concern me.
I use my PC to do these things (in a more or less exact order):
1. InDesign, Photoshop, Quark XPress
2. Internet browsing
3. MS Office
4. Video games
5. Music, movies.
Now I know I can do all these things on a Mac as well, except solving the troubles with Video games.
My PC upgrade would cost me around 200 EU max (video card + some ram), while the cheapest Mac Pro I found on Amazon is about 600 EU + shipping taxes.
Could anyone tell me what is it that Mac Pro desktop or Mac mini desktop have that would make me invest in it instead of simply upgrading my PC?
Is there a "secret ingredient" about those MAC machines or is just a simple overpriced hype?
Thank you for taking time reading this and for any help.
Best regards,
-- C.

Well, instead of
http://www.apple.com/why-mac/better-software/
it could just as well look like
ww.microsoft.com/why-windows/better-.../
Of course, and so you should in order make a balanced judgement. You also need to look at the inevitable costs of replacing/updating your software applications if you change to a Mac.
If I was in your shoes I would stick with upgrading what you have, but I hope you end up with whatever works for you!

Left MBP in car - concern about heat

I left my uMBP in my car today in Arizona. The temp outside was about 105. Fortunately I left it on the floor of the back seat. It was not in direct sunlight, but when I returned the computer was almost to hot too hold. The unit was completely powered down and the lid was closed. It was in my SUV originally with the air on as I came in from a meeting. Then I grabbed some lunch and forgot about it. I came back about 1 hour later. Do I need to be concerned about anything?
As soon as I could I got the A/C on and back to "normal temp." I brought it inside my house and let it sit for about 30 minutes. I fired it up and watched a short 30 minute movie and checked everything with iStat Pro. All reading look good and screen looks fine, again anything that could of been damaged that I might see or need to work about?
Thanks in advance!
Mike

You may have considerably shortened the useful lifespan of your battery, and perhaps also your hard drive. If the outside temperature was 105°F and the car was in the sun, the ambient air temperature inside the car was probably 125-140°F, so you undoubtedly exceeded the safe storage range for the MBP. The battery is the component most vulnerable to damage by temperatures above that range, but the hard drive contains lubricants that may melt and run at high temps, removing them from where they should be and putting them where they shouldn't.
Apple says a *"properly maintained"* MBP battery should retain 80% of its original Full Charge Capacity after either 300 or 1000 cycles (depending on which battery type it is, removable or non-removable). You couldn't honestly say now that your battery has been "properly maintained", even if you never repeat the mistake. It won't be surprising if your battery fails prematurely. Nor would I be surprised if your hard drive fails prematurely, so keep good backups.

Need Help Upgrading

I am trying to upgrade to Yosemite and every time I try to download after I type in my password it says there was an error in the app store. It has been doing this for months.
I get two messages:
1. There was an unknown error
2. We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)
Please Help!!

Be sure to double check your computer's hardware specifications to be certain
it will have adequate resources to run both a new 10.10 OS X, and applications.
This includes checking or making a survey of the capacity of the hard disk drive
and the stored content there; this may compete with a new system and some of
the software from Lion 10.7 or before will not run in Yosemite. Also, be sure there
is an adequate amount of RAM installed, the chip memory helps Yosemite work.
If the hard disk drive has been in service and not replaced, consider an upgrade
to a faster spin-rate 7200-RPM hard disk drive of larger capacity, as this may help
the computer. At least a new replacement HDD shouldn't be worn out and the faster
speed of rotational 7200-RPM compared to stock 5400-RPM will help Yosemite.
There are methods of preparing a replacement drive before installing it, to be sure
it is correctly formatted and ready for a new system. You'd probably need to have
10.6.8 installed and running, if you had that as a base system with DVD installer.
Some may choose to create a clone, but going from 10.7.5 to 10.10 is best if not
carrying a lot of baggage from older systems or software that won't work. So a
clone of the current system on external HDD is good if you don't have a way to
revert if you needed to, as you can run the computer from a clone on external HDD.
However, not knowing your level of skill or ability in this matter, you may seek the
trained help of an authorized Apple service provider; and acquire additional backup
hardware for Time Machine and other off-computer archival storage.
You may need to try & boot from recovery, if that is present on the current HDD.
Appears you may have a bad hard drive or a partial installation of 10.10; or a
different problem. You hadn't posted the above when I started this...
Good luck & happy computing!

Concerned about screen burn in with alarm clock app

I recently downloaded Night Stand HD, then it occurred to me that the clock display would remain on all night. The auto-lock feature needs to be disabled for the alarm to work. Do I need to be concerned about screen burn with the iPad display? I know the latest LCD displays are not susceptible to it, but I want to be sure before I start using it. The app has a dimming feature, but I'm not sure if that is enough protection.
Thanks

Only CRTs and Plasma screens are subject to burn in. The iPad won't.

Need Help Upgrading Old Mac

I have a macbook pro 15.4 Inch purchased in 2007 *The first intel based mac i believe- But im having trouble upgrading- I tried to upgrade to Snow leopard 10.6.8 (im on 10.5.4) now and i need to upgrade desperatley to run programs i use, The body of the computer (keyboard is shot so i use an external keyboard) when i downloaded different DMGS of snowleopard-i cant get any of them to work and do a DMG instal as you normal would. I tried my original (INSTALL Disks that the my computer came with to an archive install- but the drive kicks the dvds out once i hit option - to try to boot the disk when the computer starts up (the computer's body is ****** but it works ok- it has to be plugged in all the time) but i dont know how i can update my system i even tried snow leopard 911 - but even when i put it on a 4GB hard drive and tried to boot from my little thumb drive (by pushing C on start up) it just started up regularly. I was gonna take smewhere to have an archive install but it would cost me 120.00 per the visit (since this computer isnt worth much and i just need it to be able to run until i get a new one in 2013) - Ive done everything tested the PRAM , done a "C" and even option boots it to EFI mode, which i dont want ive downloaded mutliple DMGS of snow leopard and they dont work , i just want to upgrade!! - Can you help!! if you have ANY solutions
<Email Edited By Host>

I'm not sure where you're getting dmg files of Snow Leopard - it was only ever released on disc. You can order it directly from the Apple Store on disc here - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. If your optical drive isn't working, you'll just have to get a fairly inexpensive external optical drive to install the upgrade.
It really sounds as if your machine is shot. I had a 2006 model (which was actually the first Intel MBP) and it's still working. But I took care of it. Sounds as if you've been a little rough on yours.
I'm not certain that the SL update is going to do you any good - but it's worth a try, I guess.

HT1444 I need to Upgrade to Snow leopard, can i download it from the app store, if so how do i do it?

I need to Upgrade to Snow leopard OS X from Leopard OS X, can i downlaod it from the Mac App Store, if so how do I do it?

Ah yes. South Africa. I checked the international listings for you but there seems to be no direct Apple support in South Africa. I cannot imagine why since the political restraints for countries like Iran are not those of South Africa.
I understand that Apple United States do not ship orders outside of the USA.
You may have to contact Apple Head Office.

Running multiple instances from same oracle home

Hi Gurus,
I am preparing for OCA 11g examination. I had a question about running multiple instances from same oracle home. While reading the book I came across a statement about database control which says "If there are several database instances running off the same Oracle home, then each will have its own Database Control instance".
Now I assume that this statement implies multiple instances accessing the same physical database (which as per my knowledge can happen only in case of a RAC).
I am not able to understand how exactly can you have multiple database instances in a single oracle home. I have installed Oracle 11g on my computer whose oracle home is +"D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1"+; now this directory houses all the binaries (executables and folders like admin,bin, etc) for the oracle instance that I have installed (the instance name is ocp1). Now if I am to install or create another Oracle Instance (say ocp2) in the same home, wont there be a conflict of binaries of the two instances in the same home ?
Basically,it makes sense if db_1 folder is further split into multiple folders, one for each instance (for example, one for ocp1 & one for ocp2); each of these folders will then contain the binary files, libraries,etc for its own instance; but, this is not the case, here db_1 houses all the binaries directly under it ...
The other question which stems from the statement I mentioned above is that if having multiple instances running from same oracle home accessing the same physical database, can this arrangement be called RAC at all; or does RAC dictate that you cannot have multiple instances that are accessing the same database have to be installed on physically separate machines and so you cannot have two RAC instances (accessing same physical database) installed on the same computer ??
I hope my questions are not too much confusing ... !!
Cheers,
Sudripta

Hello,
"If there are several database instances running off the same Oracle home, then each will have its own Database Control instance".This is true, and also means each instance will have its separate database (i.e. dbf files etc.) & separate DB Control. Usually in this case you create several instances on the same node.
Now I assume that this statement implies multiple instances accessing the same physical database (which as per my knowledge can happen only in case of a RAC).You are correct about RAC where several instances (usually running on separate nodes) access the RAC.
More info:
1 Oracle Home - 1 Database - 1 SID is possible.
1 Oracle Home - Many Databases - Many SID is possible.
1 Oracle HOme - 1 Database - Multiple SID is possible and this is called RAC.

I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram. Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram. Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion? What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible? Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense? I have an Epson R2000 printer. Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion? It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.

Before upgrading to Lion be sure to read this link:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
Adobe lists these requirements:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
Looking at http://www.everymac.com/ even the earliest 2008 iMac was fully 64 bit, even though Boot Camp doesn't support 64 bit Windows on that machine.
