Question before upgrading

To avoid possible headache, should i first upgrade touch and then iTunes, or should I first get new iTunes and then upgrade touch? Which method is lesser of two evils?

you might, but you also want to bear in mind that whenever there is a new update available there are bugs, and people have problems. and that this is the place people come to find out solutions/ask about their problems - people without problems dont generally come and talk about them.

Question before upgrading: connectivity with computers running leopard?

I am looking to upgrade one of my computers to snow leopard, but I cannot yet upgrade the other because I'll need it to run CS3 and a few other media programs that have not been updated by SONY. Before doing anything reckless, I wanted to make sure that there are no issues transferring files between computers running different OS's. It might seem like a silly question but I figured better safe than sorry. Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's a silly question, sorry - mainly because your computers and software are unique in their configuration and your workflow, skills etc. just add to that. No one can help you make sure you won't have issues. Do you share small or big files? What is a big file? Do your file names use special characters? Is your network old, new or somewhere in between?
If you want to be safe on your terms, don't do anything...who knows what could happen, other than to comment anecdotally.
File sharing is typically mundane and trouble-free, but again, your situation can be ready to go or ready to break, and making any change might push it over the edge.
You have to decide...life's like that

Questions before upgrading

I am currently using 10.5.6 and am thinking of upgrading though I want to know the following:
1.) How stable is the most recent version of Snow Leopard, whatever that is?
2.) Are there lots of issues with getting Snow Leopard to work with printers, scanners, and other software that worked in Leopard?
Thanks.

1.) For myself and many others, it is rock solid, and lightning fast. Your experience will differ, however, as all experiences do. There is no end all be all answer to your question, but I am throwing in my experience to say, it has been smooth as silk.
2.) It is becoming the standard, at least it seems as much when browsing software databases, that an application be compatible with Snow Leopard this late after release. I myself have had no problems at all, and any and all "major" software developers will most likely have already made that switch. And, I have never met a printer my Macbook pro couldn't handle.
For must have software, consult this list. http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/

10.5.2/Time Machine Question - Before Upgrading

In addition to the standard procedure before updating from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 (5 Intel Macs - so I want to get it right all the way across the board): 2 full data backups, fully bootable external clone, repair permissions, verify disk, unplug all peripherals, all apps off, no automatic updates on, download Combo Updater and so on --
3 questions:
1) Should my Time Machine external be unplugged?
2) Either "Yes" or "No" - should TS be "Off" in System Preferences?
3) Should I do the update in Safe Mode?
All help appreciated, as always!

2 Back up Questions Before Upgrading - Please

Before going to 10.4.8 -
I have an external hard drive with 3 partitions. Each partition has a Disc Utility bootable clone of one of my Macs (all G4's). Each clone is about 6 weeks old and I'd like to make them current (and most certainly bootable) before updating to 10.4.8, just in case.
So, here's my 2 questions:
1. Do I erase each partition before doing the new clone, OR do I simply click on Restore in Disc Utility, put the Source and Desitination volumes in the correct panes and then eecute the Restore command letting Disc Utility write over the existing clones, OR do I click on Restore and put the Source and Desitination volumes in the correct panes and go letting it write over the existing clones but check the "Erase Destination" box first?
2. In case I have issues with 10.4.8 that I can't troubleshoot, and I need to go back, do I do a clean install of 10.4 and then clone back, or what is the exact procedure to getting a Mac back to its prior state with all prefernces and data and so forth the same as before (and of course back to an earlier OS) from a clone? I'd really like to get some detailed instructions on how to do this so I can print them out ahead of time.
Thanks in advance, and Cheers!

Hi
There have been problems with individual files in the cloning process on some Macs. Once this occurs you will find that all cloning utilities choke on the same file. Retrospect will skip the file but others will just stop. If you see the FAQ on the SuperDuper! page you will see how you can exclude a folder from the clone, and avoid the problem. If you do not use the Dutch localisation of iTunes I would also try dragging the offending folder to the Desktop, launch iTunes and check that it is working properly, and if everything is ok delete the folder. Your clone should then go without problem.
I also see that you have multiple threads running about this problem, with different information on each thread. This is not helpful! If you have Retrospect then you are best off using that app to achieve what you want. It is by far the most sophisticated backup app, and only need be avoided by those who crave simplicity.
Edit: As an addendum to that, Retrospect, SuperDuper!, SilverKeeper and other cloning apps can update your clones very quickly (SuperDuper! typically takes 10 minutes to update my clone). Disk Utility on the other hand does not have this ability. You would need to do a fresh clone each time you use it, and that takes a great deal longer (depending on your Mac and data 1½-2 hours is normal.

Question before upgrading to Snow

Hi,
I am finally going to upgrade (mainly so I can continue to use iCal and sync, etc.). I have heard that some of my printers may no longer work once I upgrade.
Is that true? And are there other things that go awry with upgrade such as software programs like Office 2011 and Adobe CS5 programs?
Finally, is there a central document available where I can view what's known to be a hazard prior to upgrading?
Thanks.

Hello c:
In order….
I have heard that some of my printers may no longer work once I upgrade.
Is that true?
Supported printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
And are there other things that go awry with upgrade such as software programs like Office 2011 and Adobe CS5 programs?
Office 2004 works fine…theer is no reason why Office 2011 will not work. Search these forums for information about the Adobe program (the manufacturer's web site should give you what you need to know).
Finally, is there a central document available where I can view what's known to be a hazard prior to upgrading?
No, to my knowledge. That sort of document would be flawed anyhow, as each system is a bit different.

P.S. I have been running OS X 10.6.7 since its release with no problems at all.

Thinking of upgrading to SL,But i have some Question before moving to SL

I will be glad if anybody can help me with my questions before moving to Sl.first,i like to know,after upgrading or fresh install,do i need to reinstall another windows xp on the machine,cos i use VMware Fusion?
Secondly,What option is the best,Upgrade or Fresh install?
Can i make backup using an external usb2 drive? and what can i do so my old setting remain after installing SL.Setting like my Chat history,and will my applications use the same lience key?
Anybody with usefull advice?
What important it the history of chat i had on my pc.i work for a company as a mid man and this history help me to remember last diccussion with client..

In your place, I would move to SL if, and only if, I had an external drive with a bootable clone of my internal on it. I think that there is enough risk in going to SL that such conservatism is warranted. I would not use time machine alone for backup/restoring when moving to an OS upgrade or doing a point update. This app can be problematic and, consequently, its solo use is too risky for me in these cases. You will be able to extract your settings, files, and programs from your clone if you do an erase and install. You can erase and install or upgrade with any SL disk except the gray ones that come with specific machines. I still prefer to erase and install.
To erase and install (see upgrade option below), start up to your DVD and stop after selecting your language. Use the menus to start Disk Utility and erase your drive. Quit Disk Utility and proceed with your installation. At the end, you will be able to choose to reclaim your settings, files, and apps from the clone (plug in the external at the point of the last install restart).
If you do not like SL, then you can restore your internal using the clone. I would do all cloning and related restoration with SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner, or some other up-to-date cloning app, including Disk Utility. Your clone also will serve as an independent backup for your data.
Upgrading is a very sound process on a Mac. Still, I also would insist on having a bootable clone on an external before upgrading. An upgrade is performed by installing over your existing installation from the desktop or having started from your SL DVD. All your programs, data, and settings will be present after an upgrade, but incompatible programs will be archived.

Bug in Inventory Audit Report before upgradation from SAP B1 2004B to 2005B

Sir,
We upgraded SAP Business One 2004B to SAP Business One 2005B on 26/05/2007. Earlier we were having SAP B1 2004 in which therer was no Inventory Audit Report function in Inventory Reports. After upgradation if we take Inventory Audit Report, the closing quantity of the stock is shown is correct but the value for negative stock quantity is wrong for period before upgradation i.e.upto 26/05/2007. The difference is exactly double of the stock value of that item. The closing quantity and value is OK if we run the report for the period after upgradation i.e. from 27/05/2007 to till date.
For e.g.
If we make A.P.Credit Memo for an item qty.20 value INR 20,000/- based on A.P.Invoice and take Inventory Audit Report, the qty.is posted as -20 but the value is posted as INR 20,000/- but actually it should be INR -20,000/-. That is the value is taken twice of the original value.
Reagrds,
Vishal Takte

Hi Vishal,
Please contact SAP Support for your problem; I think they should be able to help you to fix the problem.
Sorry for any inconvenience,
Frank
PS: Please note that such "application-related" questions fit best into the "SAP Business One" Forum...

Questions in upgrade RAC from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2

I am new in installing RAC and need help in upgrade RAC from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2.
We have a 3 node RAC of 11.2.0.1 on refhat 5.2, and are planing to upgrade to 11.2.0.2. We are doing out-of-place upgrade. For our single instance DEV environment, it works pretty well that we install 11.2.0.2 and copy data from the old database, and then shutdown the old one.
On the production RAC, I hope to install 11.2.0.2 on one node, and let it join the RAC with the other two nodes. Then do th same to the 2nd and 3rd node. I have the following questions.
1) For Out-of Place upgrade, should I just follow normal installation to install grid infrastructure and then the RAC?
2) In selecting Installation type should I choose Create and COnfigure database, or Upgrade an Existing Database?
3) What should I do with the ASM? I want to use the existing ASM.
4) Can I out-of place upgrade one node, and make it join the RAC, and then roll to another node, or I have to install 11.2.0.2 on all 3 nodes and configure a new RAC to replace the old RAC.
5) What should I do with ocr and voting disks?
Thanks

We have a 3 node RAC of 11.2.0.1 on refhat 5.2, and are planing to upgrade to 11.2.0.2. We are doing out-of-place upgrade. For our single instance DEV environment, it works pretty well that we install 11.2.0.2 and copy data from the old database, and then shutdown the old one. out of place does it mean you are restoring database on another server then upgrading? why like that any reason..
1) For Out-of Place upgrade, should I just follow normal installation to install grid infrastructure and then the RAC?Yes, You need to build RAC environment
2) In selecting Installation type should I choose Create and COnfigure database, or Upgrade an Existing Database?Upgrade existing database.
3) What should I do with the ASM? I want to use the existing ASM.you need to create an ASM instance on new server..
4) Can I out-of place upgrade one node, and make it join the RAC, and then roll to another node, or I have to install 11.2.0.2 on all 3 nodes and configure a new RAC to replace the old RAC.

5) What should I do with ocr and voting disks?at the time of cluster installtion you need to configure , later you need to register database before upgrade.
Thanks

A few questions before buying a spectre x360

Hi I'm considering buying a 13" Spextre x360 once Win10 arrives in final version - but have a few questions before going ahead. Mostly looking into the 4041no (i'm from Denmark) - or similar configuration. I need a configuration with at least 500 GB of hard drive and 8 GBs of RAM. 1. Will the spectre support all the new windows 10 touchpad gestures (similar to OS X/Mac gestures)? I have read something about the touch pad on the not being a "precision touchpad" but instead being run by synoptic drivers or something. Don't know exactly what it means. I come from a Mocbook Pro - and these gestures are so good. 2. One of the things some talk about in reviews is heat - that the x360 gets very hot to hold. Even just browsing the web. And also fan noise being loud. Any experience here - is it just a few unfortunate buyers, or are any of these issues generic. 3. Browsing the web there are so many different model numbers, that i can't keep up - and some of them seem to be identical configurations. Is there any overview of what is what. For instance 4041no and 4040no seem identical - but there is a difference in price, at the stores i have seen online. Similarly there is a 4030no and a 4032no. What are all these models. different numbers for every store/country/????. Any help here.. 4. The 4041no model i'm looking into has this QHD screen. Very high resolution. How is that in everyday life for surfing the web (mostly Chrome), Photoshop, watching movies local/streaming and more. It seems that everything will be very small, or is there scaling options or other stuff that makes this high resolution usable in real life. Or maybe lower the resoltion in settings. Any experience? I will soon try to find one in a real store to try out if possible. Think i'll start with those questions :-) And maybe also some generel feedback on the spectre x360. Thanks /Jonas

Hi Jonas,
I have the 4014 model (core i7, 256gb ssd, 8gb ram and FHD screen) so I can answer some but not all of your questions.
1. Touchpad is responsive and easy to use for me. Just upgraded to windows 10 and multi touch gestures are working fine. Three finger tap to open search, four finger tap to open the quick settings panel. Three finger flicks do app switching and minimising. The pad is controlled by the synaptic driver, but it has quite a few options and seems to work well for me.
2. Heat is not an issue for me. Sure, it gets warm when running intensive tasks, but as long as you are not pushing the cpu for long periods of time, it will be fine on your lap. Browsing the web, the fan will come on briefly when I load 10 or more tabs at a time, otherwise the fan will remain off.
Being an aluminium chassis, it has the ability to transfer heat out of the shell more easily than a plastic laptop, so you might notice it getting warm quicker, but it also cools down fast.
The fan is no louder than any other laptop I have used.
3. Can't help you with model numbers, sorry.
4. I'm finding that a lot of applications do not scale correctly on my FHD screen, so I can imagine that the QHD would be the same or worse. Most of the time, you can get the applications to look better by turning off display scaling in the compatibility settings. Sometimes this means that the application then looks smaller on screen, though text, images and icons are sharp, they are harder to read. The QHD would make these apps even smaller. I do not think QHD is worth it on a small screen for this reason.
In general the laptop works well. I use it in my job as a teacher, and being able to convert from laptop to tablet is a huge benefit. It is super fast to start up and easily gets me through a school day (quite often getting home with more than half a charge). I will just close the lid between uses and it sleeps, drawing very little power. It is capable of running Photoshop and office apps, while browsing the web and doing some light duty CAD modeling on the side.
One small issue that I and a few others have had is a crackling, buzzing noise due to the processor power regulation. Only audible in really quiet rooms or when putting an ear close to the device, when the computer is idling. Not an issue for everyday use, but something to be aware of if you have sensitive hearing or are annoyed by slight imperfections.
Hope that answers a few of your questions.

Question about upgrading to Motion 3

I recently purchased the Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade. I've been reading the forum and I've seen people having problems with Motion 3, specifically on Macbook Pros but on other machines as well. I was planning on buying the upgrade anyway but I specifically bought it this week because of an audio bug (missing audio on QT export-see one of my other posts) that was fixed in Motion 3 that affects the project I am currently working on. I have 2 computers that this would be installed on. A Mackbook Pro 2GHz core duo and a Mac Pro dual 3.0 GHz Xeon. Both of these are up to date on software updates. I've read that there was a MBP update that really caused a problem for Motion 3 that seems to only be fixed by a clean system install. My question is what is the best way I should go about installing the upgrade, specifically for Motion? Should I wait to install it on my MBP until Apple releases a fix for the problem? Will it install fine on my Mac Pro? Basically, I'm looking for the best way to install that will lead to the least amount of problems? Thanks

Mac Pro dual 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.9)
Mac Pro dual 3.0 GHz Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I beg to differ on that...I have a Mac Pro Quad 3GHz with 8Gigs of RAM and the X1900 card and Motion crashes very often. I have not been able to export anything with 3D elements to completion. The software crashes whenever you have more than a few lights and layers going on...it's very frustrating. I have done everything possible to avoid these bugs, including re-installing OSX before upgrading to FCPS2, and I even did that twice.
Motion still has quite a few bugs...and they are more than just an annoyance.

Deactivate Acrobat before upgrading to new version?

I am about to upgrade from Acrobat 9 to Acrobat XI.
When installing Acrobat XI, will I be prompted to uninstall the previous version? Or will the upgrade installation automatically uninstall the previous version during the upgrade installation process?
If the previous version is uninstalled during the upgrade process, what happens with the previous version's activation status?
Do I need to manually deactivate Acrobat 9 before upgrading? Or does the upgrade process automatically deactivate the previous version during the process?
Will the upgrade process to the newer version result in the previous version's activation seat to be lost?
If no action is take to uninstall the previous version during the upgrade installation process, will both versions happily co-exist, or will their be conflict issues?

TimeTraveled during the installation process Acrobat 9 will be uninstalled. Acrobat 9 should be deactivated automatically as part of the uninstall process. This is mainly irrelevant however as your license for the upgrade to Acrobat XI requires your Acrobat 9 license. Thus you would be violating the EULA if you were to install Acrobat 9 on two computers and then install Acrobat XI on two separate computers.
Finally your question regarding having both Acrobat 9 and Acrobat XI installed on the same computer. For Windows users it is recommend that you do not have two version of Acrobat Acrobat Professional or Standard on the same computer.

Upgrade - Do I need to uninstall peoplesoft agent plugin before upgrading it?

Hi Guys,
I am performing an upgrade of PSEM plugin from 8.51 to 8.52 in Grid Control 11gR1.Do I need to uninstall peoplesoft agent plugin before upgrading it?

I ended up using the live chat to get the question answered earlier today - but thank you for your response - and you're correct.
As for the creative cloud version - no, I opted not to get that. I hope I don't live to regret it,
but I'm not in a marketing/design program/etc. I just need photo editing for some end-of-year projects for school that needed better than average photo quality.
Thanks for taking the time to respond - much appreciated!

I've recently upgraded to Lightroom5.7.1 and now when I try to import photos a window pops up saying 'the photos can't be imported 'cos the files can't be read'. I had no problems before upgrading. I have Windows8 & can't find any 'app' which sets the type of files I can import. Any help appreciated.

Well, think about it. This is a Lightroom forum. We are here to answer questions about Lightroom and how to solve problems in Lightroom. Your permissions issue is an operating system issue, not a Lightroom issue. I didn't mean to be sarcastic. But there are plenty of Internet resources that will answer that question.
I just went to Google and typed in "change disk permissions", and there are links for the Mac as well as for Windows listed. There's no sense in me rewriting instructions that are already available.
