OS X really old update needed.

I am using and iMac. I believe I am running a very old OS X software. It does not say Leopard or Lion or 10.anything. How do I go about getting updated to the most current system update. When I run software update, it says all is up to date. I bought this computer a few years ago from a friend, but is probably 6 years old I would guess. The kids are having trouble playing basic online games such as Minecraft and I think it is because the software is so far out of date. Please help for the kids sake!

Hey go4noles64,
There's a difference between update and upgrade - the following document explains it better than I could:
Software update, upgrade--what's the difference?

It sounds like you've updated as much as possible. And according to your product list, you have Mac OS X 10.7.2 which is actually a more recent release, OS X Lion. There's been only one upgrade since then, OS X Mountain Lion, which is an upgrade that is available from the Mac App Store. You can read about the system requirements for Mountain Lion here, to see if your computer is compatible:

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:

To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

Update my really old iTouch? Troubleshooting: IT WONT WORK!! :(

I have a really old iTouch (I believe it is 1st gen; it has no mic or photo-taking lens), and I only recently went back to use it after wanting to use my nano for all these years, wanting to get good usage out of it. Anyways, I downloaded some apps for my iTouch, when apparently, it wont support these apps. I did research to find out that you can download the software to update it so it can use the apps. However, almsot all sites told me to go here to buy it (purchasing is not an issue btw):
http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/softwareupdate.html
This link does not work for me, for whenever I click it it redirects me to the iOS homepage on Apple... it is really annoying me now on why I can't access this page to simply update my iPod. Is it because I live in Canada or something? Nevertheless, is there a flow chart someone could mention on how to get to that page without putting in that URL into the top space? Thanks.

You should get a new iPod. The highest supported OS for the first generation iPod Touch is iOS 3.1.3. And you need to buy the software update for the first generation iPod Touch. It states right here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052 Only iOS 4 or higher is free which your first generation iPod Touch does not support, only the second generation of iPod Touch or better. It's not worth it to buy the update, I recommend save up some money on the new iPod Touch.

How can I sync my new iPad with my itunes account on my 4 yr old macbook? I plugged the iPad in once and all music synced. The 2nd time it said update needed. Mac says no update available.

" how can I sync my iphone to my mac book without losing all the music and pictures on it?"
You cannot. Copy everything you want form the old computer to the new one, then sync it.
it basically says you have to erase your iphone to sync to a new itunes!
Correct Iphone will sync, or manually manage, with one and only one computer/library at a time. Syncing, or manually managing, to another will indeed erase the current content.

I started to update my ipad but I have an old MacBook and it's really old and I don't have the correct software to update anything. But my ipad is stuck on the connect to itunes screen and wont budge. What do I do?!

Your options depend on which MacBook you have and the version of OS X installed.

WSUS 3.0 started to show old updates

Hi, a couple of weeks ago my WSUS 3.0 started to show old updates as needed (starting from 2009). I notice they are all Windows Server updates (2008R2 and 2012), there are no Win XP/Vista/7 updates.
Recently I ran "Server cleanup wizard" after a couple of years from the last time (not my fault), and I notice that it failed at the first point "unused updates and update revisions". If I try again, it fails always at that point, while
if I run the wizard without this option it ends successfully, deleting updates and freeing disk space.
I searched on my servers some of the updates marked as "needed" to check if they were already installed, and it seems they are really not installed, but it is very strange because we usually approve all updates one time a month, in fact before
these updates showed, there were only a few updates with status "needed" (the last arrived and not yet approved).
One detail more: servers involved in updates, are rebooted very rarely since they are in a internal, production network. For example, last update of a group of them was sept 2013.
What could have happened?

Hi, a couple of weeks ago my WSUS 3.0 started to show old updates as needed (starting from 2009). I notice they are all Windows Server updates (2008R2 and 2012)
Quite possible if new -unpatched- servers have been introduced into the network.

Also... believe it or not... sometimes updates get 'uninstalled'. It's also possible that they were
never actually installed.

This issue is discussed extensively in this forum, at least once a month for the past few years. In addition, I wrote a blog series that covers all of the causes, remediations, and preventive maintenance that should be done. See the
WSUS Timeout Errors series at PatchZone.

Clean install I have an really old driver cd

, I would like to reinstall my system that is equipped with a audigy card. However my driver cd dates back to 200. In the past a reinstall has caused me some problems because this really old driver obviously has some bugs and sometimes fails to update properly.
Is there some place?I can download a version of a newer driver cd (audigy has been in production for a much longer time then till 200)

You don't need an Apple ID to use a "classic" iPod. You only need a computer (Mac or PC) that can run iTunes. If your iPod is older, your computer does not even need to run the latest version of iTunes. You can add songs to your iTunes library from music CDs, and song files you have already. Then sync the iPod to that iTunes library.
An Apple ID only comes into play, if you want to buy and download songs (and other media) from the iTunes Store. This document describes how to create an Apple ID without a credit card

SCCM 2012 Compliance 7 Customize for Total Updates Needed

I can't find single report in SCCM 2012 that lists the total count of updates needed for each computer. This really irks me and many others as this and similar info was readily available with the old WSUS console. It also takes a lot more
clicks to get the same info in SCCM (if SCCM even has it) as it did in WSUS. Anyway, I've decided to try to customize an existing report. I made a copy of "Compliance 7 - Computers in a specific compliance state for an update group (secondary)".
Try as I might, I can't get the query to work right to create a field for number of updates required for each computer. I'd really like columns for Failed/Needed/Applied but I'll start with just Needed. Why they got rid of this in SCCM reporting baffles me.
I have several SQL queries that pull this info for needed patches when run in Management Studio but I can't get them to work in a SCCM Report. Does anyone know how to do this?
Ben JohnsonWY

I'm looking at Compliance 1, 5, and 7. The closest to what I want is Compliance 7 but with a new column for "Required Updates". I have that column made but it's not populated. I have a "Required Updates" Dataset now inside this custom
report. BUT the row of info in the table (computer name, last logon, etc) only lets you select fields from Dataset0. Where I'm stuck is how get to the "Required_Updates" field from the "Required Updates" dataset to appear in Dataset0.
I've spent a big chunk of time trying to get the code from the two queries merged but I can't get it to work. The other option is to somehow get the field to appear in the row's field selection list (ie, read field from both datasets).
Oh, and when I followed your steps above, I got the report created but it throws and "error during processing" error when I run it.

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out.

Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

"Old" update rule from ODS not working

Hi Gurus,
I need to set up the "old" fashioned update rule to load data from an ODS1 to another ODS2.
The thing is that I need to set up an update rule because I need to implement a Return Table Routine that is not supported (as far as I know) by the new Transformation/DTP.
When I select option (through the right mouse click over ODS1) "Other Options" - "Create Update Rule" it takes me out of the RSA1 and leaves me in the main menu making it impossible to create a new update rule.
The strange thing is that I have this working from and ODS to an InfoCube.....
Suggestions, a workaround??
Andrea.

Hi Jerry,
Just to confirm that this is not working. The tys_TG_1 structure only shows me the target infoprovider structure. Check that in the how to, to be able to derive employee first you need to assign eache source_filed to the result_field leaving employee blank.
I need to have in the same place, the source_field structure (source infoprovider field structure) and the result_field structure (target infoprovider structure). That is what the "old" return table gives me as in the same place I can have the communication_structure (source infoprovider field structure) with the return_table structure (target infoprovider structure).
Just to understand, in the source infoprovider I have 12 Key Figures (1 for each period) and I have to split each incoming record to 12 records. If I work only with the result_field structure tys_TG_1 and the result_package tyt_TG_1 I'm not able the see those 12 KF.
So... return table functionality is not fully supported by BW 7 as far as I know.
Any other ideas why I'm not able to create the old Update Rules from an ODS?
Regards,
Andrea.

Can someone please help. I have a really old MacBook that is running really slow. I want to wipe everything and reinstall the latest software but don't know how to do this. Also is there a way of keeping Microsoft Office when doing this? Thanks in advance

You do realise that wiping the disk means that everything on the disk is erased. Everything. Photos, music, emails, ...
So the first piece of advice is to make sure you have a back up of everything.
You need the OS disk to reintsall the operating system. You will use that disk first to erase the drive, then to reinstall the OS.
Here's the link for the US. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
As for MS Office, you will need the original disk that it came on to reinstall it.

How do you connect Retina to really old TV?

I have a Retina, Mid 2012, and would like to connect it to a really old TV that only has Composite and S-Video inputs. I don't need audio just picture. I have a mini display port to DVI adapter. Can I buy a DVI to RCA cable/adapter or does the retina not send the proper analog signal via the mini display port? If it does not, I would need some kind of break out box or i/o board. Can you recommend any inexpensive options? Thanks!

i am not sure what to do. do you need any special
cables.
my tv is relatively new
Connecting an iPod w/Video to a TV is a relatively simple task.
First you'll need a video patch cable with 3 RCA jacks (red, white and yellow) on one end and a four terminal mini-plug on the other-- the same cable common to many portable DVD devices (AKA: Apple iPod Video Cable.) Connect the cable from your iPod to your TV.
Next set your TV's input and make sure your iPod's TV Out is set to Ask or On (Select Video > Video Settings > TV Out)
Finally, select and play your video.
Note: in this mode video will not display as usual on your iPod's screen. Instead you'll see a menu display which will eventually fade to black after a few moments.

Rman want really old logsequence for recover

Hello,
Red Hat x86 - 5
Oracle 10.2.0.2
I have restored a database to a new host from tape, not a duplicate, but a controlfile restore, and then restore.
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=xxxxx, NB_ORA_CLIENT=xxx, NB_ORA_POLICY=xxx)';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=xxxxx, NB_ORA_CLIENT=xxx, NB_ORA_POLICY=xxx)';
restore database CHECK READONLY;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch1;
}It works fine, and when i try to start recover with this command, the time stamp is after last backup, but not after last archived redo log is backed up (hence all redo logs is on tape)
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=xxxxx, NB_ORA_CLIENT=xxx, NB_ORA_POLICY=xxx)';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=xxxxx, NB_ORA_CLIENT=xxx, NB_ORA_POLICY=xxx)';
set until time "to_date('June 22 2010 23:55:00','Mon DD YYYY HH24:MI:SS')";
RECOVER DATABASE;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch1;
}This should work fine, however he ask for some really old crappy log:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

I have tried to manually restore the logsequences i need, and it work fine, so netbackup and commands are fine, this one work:
run
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch0 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=xxxxx, NB_ORA_CLIENT=xxx, NB_ORA_POLICY=xxx)';
ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch1 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' PARMS 'ENV=(NB_ORA_SERV=xxxxx, NB_ORA_CLIENT=xxx, NB_ORA_POLICY=xxx)';
set archivelog destination to '/flasharea2/flash_recovery_area/xxxx/';
restore archivelog from logseq 41871 until logseq 41875;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch0;
RELEASE CHANNEL ch1;
}So how can i know why he wants some old logsequences, and how can i identifiy to what this belong, and what can i do to stop this from happening?
Thanks for any help!

How you dropped datafile? did you use offline drop? If yes thus reason is this.Hello, the one who dropped it does not work here anymore, but it seems like it was offline drop!
If find this in controlfile (backuped to trace):

Old updater shows one update, Creative Cloud none

From time to time the old Adobe Updater appears in my menubar, notifying me about one available update. Clicking it takes me to the Creative Clown dropdown panel. In that panel no available updates are shown. I made this annotated screenshot to clarify:
How can I remove the old updater completely?

Hi Dylan,
Thanks for your feedback. I and a few others tried the application restart method and it worked for us. There may be another service that those applications spawn and they are not shutting down consistently.
I certainly agree that the current behaviors of the updater programs need improvement, and believe that's shared by the folks working on developing the applications. I don't know the technical reasons behind what's currently happening though. I've been reacting to user feedback and trying to find workaround solutions for the near term. My 'day' job is on Photoshop specific needs, but I don't shy from looking out broader and helping where I can.
I will point this thread out to the Creative Cloud application development team. The Bridge update roll out may also be contributing, but I can't say for sure.
regards,
steve
