Operating system reload step-by-step guide

It's that time again, time to wipe and reload the OS hard drive. Too many bugs - Safari crashing for no apparent reason, system locking up instead of sleeping, general running slow, etc.
What I need is a step-by-step guide to backing up current data so that I can restore the system once I'm done reloading. Anyone have such a beast?
One side comment: I have a second hard drive partitioned into 3 sections. My music and most of my data files reside on it. There are a few data files I need to move to it when I back up.
Also, my primary drive is partitioned with OS 9 and OS X on each partition. I don't plan on reinstalling OS 9. I'm just going to reformat the OS X partition.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Backing Up
Get an external Firewire drive with sufficient space to store the entire size of your hard drive. Whether you use a separate drive or partition of a drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Next, test the clone by booting from it. Restart the computer and immediately after the chime press and hold the OPTION key down until the boot manager screen appears. You should see an icon for the external drive's backup partition or the drive itself. Select it and then click on the large right arrow button. If this does not work then restart the computer. After restart open System Preferences and choose Startup Disk. Select the clone partition from the icon list, then click on the Restart button.
Last, install OS X.
For more on backup and restore see: How to Backup and Restore. Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Backup and restore.

Audio not working in pavilion dm3 after harddrive change and operating system reload

I had hard drive failure on my Hp Pavilion dm3 and so I got a new hard drive and had the operating system reloaded and upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. My audio isn't working unless I have external speakers plugged in. I have no missing drivers in the Device Manager. The speaker icon has movement and it seems like there should be volume coming out but there's nothing.
Is it possible that while I had my machine repaired that the guy unhooked the speakers from inside the computer accidentally?
Its not easy to get into the inside of this machine the repair guys said. I did take this computer to a repair shop to get fixed because I don't know how to do all that changing. I really don't want to take it back in just yet cause Im hoping its just a driver issue.
Also before I had all this work done and computer working great, I used to have little image pop up when I would press the mute button or when I would increase or decrease the volume and I can see how high or low my volume without having to hover over the speaker icon on my taskbar. Now after the reload all that doesnt appear. The buttons work but no little image popping up and I can figure out what that driver is called.

How can I access restored pdf files after an operating system reload?

was running Windows 8.1 w/ latest updates. developed network properties errors. backed up all docs and restored PC back to Windows 8. Now, the restored pdf file security settings will not allow opening.

Gosh. I found that I need to open the properties page for a pdf file; go to the security tab and click the advance button. Then click 'change' to the right of the owner line, and add me as a user, and then give myself full permissions.
OK, NOW, how can I do this globally at one time to affect all of my pdf files?

I have an iMAC using OS X Version 10.5.8, how do I upgrade the operating system?

I have an iMAC using OS X Version 10.5.8, how do I upgrade the operating system?

Your first step will be to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6). Check the link below for requirements and purchasing info.

Updating an old operating system

I can't update my iphone on my old macbook. I was told at the genius bar its because my operating system is too old, I have 10.5. How can I update my operating system?

The first step in Upgrading... is 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
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

I want to update my IPad's operating system but when I tried to so, I got a message at Itunes advising all my apps would be removed? Is there a step by step guide for doing this update and retaining my apps? I am completely lost....

I want to update my 1st generation IPad which has a current OS of 4.2.1 to the latest 5.0 OS. I tried to do this through my ITunes account but got a warning that continuing would delete my apps, etc. I don't want that to happen! I have ZERO tech ability/know-how and need an idiot-proof, step by step guide to performing the update. Any help most appreciated. I haven't got a clue how to back up anything on the IPad, either.
Many thanks!!

First copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab on your computer's iTunes, via wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
There is some more info on this page about updating to iOS 5 : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972

Hi Mani,
Follow the following steps :
1. Create RFC destination for both the systems on CRM and R/3 in SM59.
2. Create the logical systems and assign clients to logical system in SALE transaction both on CRM and R/3.
3. Create a user in the R/3 table CRMCONSUM with the name CRM.
4. Maintain the Middlware Parameter tables on CRM : Table SMOFPARSFA:
   Create an entry for following parameter entry:
   Key - R3A_COMMON
   Para name - CRM_DEFAULT_DESTINATION
   Value - R/3 logical system
5. Maintain the parameter tables on R/3 system : CRMRFCPAR, CRMPAROLTP
    CRMRFCPAR :
    Create new entry with following data:
    User - CRM
    Object name - *
    RFC Destination - RFC destination for CRM
    Load types - All Load Types
    In Queue flag - X
    Send XML No XML
    CRMPAROLTP :
    Create the following parameter entry:
    Para name - CRM_DEFAULT_DESTINATION
    User - CRM
    Value - Name of the CRM logical system
6. Create Sites and attach subscriptions in Admin Console : Tcode SMOEAC
    Create a Site as CRM and another as R/3. Attach the required subscriptions to the R/3 site.
7. Register the queues in SMQR and SMQS transactions.
PS : For detailed steps refer the Middlware Base Customizings(CR500 and CR100)

I am running OS X Version 10.5.8. What is the next step to upgrading the operating system?

Read this tip to determine if you are ready for Snow Leopard 10.6:

HT4759 I am trying to set up icloud on my Macbook. I was using the step by step guide on your site but when I open system perferences I do not have the icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

I am trying to set up icloud on my macbook, I was using the step by step guide on the site but when I try go into system perfences in there is no icloud icon under internet and wireless. How do I get it?

This is presumably because you are running an earlier system than Lion. (Please always post your system when you have a question.)
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
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
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further.

Whenever i try to manually sync my iPhone with a new playlist on iTunes (on my laptop), it always gets stuck in step 7, Waiting for changes to be applied, and then nothing happens. I'm running the latest operating systems on both my iPhone 5 and macbook

I really don't appreciate the fact that no one from Apple seems to be dealing with the many, many threads that have started on this topic since iOS 7 came out. In any event, I seem to have solved my problem with a full software restoration -- that is, iOS software restoration.
I clicked on "Restore iPhone..." which does a complete reinstall of the iOS but also all apps, photos, songs, etc. Took about 45 minutes, but seems to have worked.
I had previously tried reverting to a backup of my iPhone, but that did not solve the problem. Only a full restore solved it.

I've googled around and tried a lot of 'fixes' I've found from various sites but nothing seems to have remedied this issue. The only thing that changed (That I can think of) is the IP of the VM was changed to a different one. This seems to be when it started
failing. All steps leading up to this point seem to work fine. Does anyone have any sugggestions? This is on a newly built, Hyper-v, server 2012 R2, MDT 2013 setup.
Much Appreciated..!

It would be helpful to get the bdd.log files to debug the issue.
Can you upload them to a public site like onedrive and share the link here?

I could still not load Oracle JAX-RPC client to SCOTT (step 4) as it produces an error. See the following for more details :

Also, I could not consume some of the other free Web Services out there for reasons I don't know, hope someone can help clarify. See the following for more details :

Success!!!
I had to grant this permissions:
call dbms_java.grant_permission( 'WS_TEST', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'getClassLoader', '' );
call dbms_java.grant_permission( 'WS_TEST', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'accessClassInPackage.sun.util.calendar', '' );
call dbms_java.grant_permission( 'WS_TEST', 'SYS:java.lang.RuntimePermission', 'setFactory', '' )
call dbms_java.grant_permission( 'WS_TEST', 'SYS:java.util.PropertyPermission', 'HTTPClient.socket.idleTimeout', 'write' );
call dbms_java.grant_permission( 'WS_TEST', 'SYS:java.net.SocketPermission', 'localhost', 'resolve' );
call dbms_java.grant_permission( 'WS_TEST', 'SYS:java.net.SocketPermission', '127.0.0.1:8084', 'connect,resolve' );
As I wrote earlier, WS_TEST is my user into which I load JAX-RPC client. Note that, if you load JAX-RPC client into user another than SYS, you have NOT to use -s -grant public option (wassam wrote about this too). Another thing is that I (finally) didn't load OC4J. To consume WebService I use utl_dbws.invoke(call_Handle CALL, request SYS.XMLTYPE) function.

I'm a new PSE 12 user, would like to find a step by step guide to import photos

Marco here, I'm a new PSE 12 user, and would like to find a step by step guide to import my thousands of photos, which are on my hard drive. Want to get it right the 1st time. Thank you.
Been searching for hours on Adobe help, Linda videos etc. Thank you !

I have decided that my external HD wasn't organized enough and spent days making folders of special events and by years.
I will point out that none of this organizing in your operating system is necessary, it can be done in Lightroom as well, and you can organize in Lightroom with tools that you don't have in your operating system, tools that are more powerful than your operating system, and tools that were specifically designed for photos (which folders were not). These tools are keywords, captions and other metadata. My suggestion is that instead of moving photos and folders from one place to another to achieve organization, you instead use keywords, captions and other metadata to achieve organization.
