FOTA remains the safer alternative as being incremental instead of replacing entire software when a period with no functioning OS upon device.

What is the safest way to update to ios8

Hey guys,
Just a quick one, What would be the safest way to update to ios8? connect it ti itunes and just hit restore? or connect it and click restore whole device and start from scratch.
Cheers.

They are both the same. But first I would make a backup to your computer before you click on that upgrade button. And, I would wait another day or two for the line to subside so you don't wait 10 hours for the download to complete.

Safest way to update the Zen Xtra's firmwa

I am running a Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra (earlier, non-PFS firmware) on an XP machine with Windows Media Player .
What is the safest way to update my player's firmware so that I can use PFS?

uynless you realy realy want the palys for sure firmware, or you need ti to work with vista you would be better off leaving it as it is.
if you must update the firmware do this:
back up everything on your player ( you should have a back up anyway ) going to the PFS 2.x.x firmware will completly wipe ( format) the hard disk.
go to control panel, then add/remove programmes, remove windows media player and windows media player runtime, it will 'rollback' to windows media player 0, re-boot your p.c.
check the add/remove porgammes again just to be sure that WMP and WMP runtime are not lurking..
Charge your Zen xtra, and leave it conected to the charger.
Download the firmware, and follow the on screen prompts, cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Safest way to update from curl 6 to curl 7?

When I try to install distribute (or others) via curl, I get the error below:
$curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | python3
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libcurl.4.dylib
Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/curl
Reason: Incompatible library version: curl requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0
So, onto installing curl 7:
This post describes how to do so (copied below):
1. Download curl sources: http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.25.0.zip
2. Unarchive the zip file somewhere
3. Open a Terminal window and go to the directory containing curl sources
4. Type: CFLAGS=-m64 ./configure
5. Type: make
6. Type: sudo make install
But I am concerned about ramifications to other programs that might use curl. Is this a safe install? (Is there a better location to get it from?) Is there a way to update curl from within the Mac OS?

So, onto installing curl 7:
I take that you haven't checked the version of curl on your computer.
[ZSH-4.3.17] ~ % curl -V
curl 7.19.7 (universal-apple-darwin10.0) libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
Features: GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
I'm not sure that you need to update to the latest version. Anyways, I assuming that you have Xcode installed with the unix tools, version 7.26.0 builds with a simple ./configure, make, make install with a few errors. make test reports 4 test that failed.
[ZSH-4.3.17] ~ % $HOME/tmp/sandbox/curl-7.26.0/src/curl -V
curl 7.26.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0) libcurl/7.26.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp

The default location of curl will be /usr/local/bin and libcurl will be /usr/local/lib. Nothing is touched in the OS X distribution.

TS1394 Installed iLife11. Now iPhoto wont open. Says to update software. Software update says no new software available.

Seems to be a catch22 situation. After installing iLife 11 from Install DVD I tried to open iPhoto. Received message that I needed to update to the latest version. Selected Software Update from Apple Menu and received reply that no new software is available.
What do I do now?

Luckily there is more than one way to update software, click on the following link to view avaliable iPhoto updates...

I can't update software because a message appears that I have to log with the same Apple ID that was used to purchase them: iMovie, Garage Band, iPhoto, but those apps came with OSX Lion.
How can I get the "original" Apple ID?

Can't update software without credit card info

Geek Squad set up my new Apple ID on my laptop when they did a file transfer. I wasn't given the ID or password, but it says I am logged in. However, when I click on software updates it wants me to confirm my Apple ID and enter my credit card information. Is there a way to update software without using my credit card? Software updates worked fine on my old macbook pro and did not require this information.

Yes - set Payment type to None.

My husband bought an iPad 2. I have a Mac. ITunes is in my name but I have turned sharing on. When we updated to OS5 we lost all the free apps that he downloaded in his user name. Is there no way to update using my iTunes without losing his software.

Is there no way to update using my iTunes without losing his software. He is frustrated using the iPad because he never knows whether to use his user name or my user name.

Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

What's a good way to update third-party software?

I've been using Tech Tracker (CNET) as an easy way to update all my third-party (mostly not purchased through Apple) software. They seem to be dropping their Mac service. Is there anything equivalent out there that will survey my software and feed me updates?

this answer should be revisited .. the latest update to the Macupdate Desktop is a bug ridden disaster. I used the previous version of the Desktop app for 4 years. It was flaky, crashed often, would only reliably handle 2 simultaneous installs at once (supposed to handle 5+) and would fail to install many things. It handled paid updates well .. by warning the user BEFORE downloading .. and install thread could stall for unknown reasons. But it failed safe .. it did not damage an existing app if it failed, and left the downloaded packages available for retrying the install manually.
Now that is not the case. Desktop 6 destroys the installed app in 1 out of four installs:
only partly installing files, or corrupting some, so that the app cannot run
install only the .app bundle but no files behind it so it is a zero size item in Applications
My impression is there are now more apps that it cannot update than before .. i deleted Macupdate Desktop from my machine after it screwed up 20 installs over three different sessions .. I tried a total of 30 .. only 5 actually completed successfully, the rest I had to complete by hand.
All that said .. the site is still a great resource on the current version of Mac OS apps .. I just have to do all of my updates manually now

Is there a way to prevent Software updates to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?

Hi everybody!
Is it possible to prevent Mountain Lion to automatically upgrade my printer drivers?
I'm using an iMac with Mountain Lion at work, and for my printer to work, I need to keep an older version of xerox drivers (newer versions are not supporting some features we're using at a corporate level). Is there a way to tell software updates to stop asking me to update those drivers? I would love to use the "update all" feature without having to continuously reinstall old drivers...
Thank you so much for your help!
Sincerely
Neff

Thank you Barney-15E, I tried to right-click and hide this update and for the moment everything appears to work just fine. I'll let you know if the update request pops-up again at the next software update.

What is the safest way or software to use to flash graphic card with ?
Thanks.

Hello, thank you for all these informations.
Right now my graphic card current Bios Version is 80.04.00.2F (P2004.0010). Is it the good one ?
I've found out yesterday evening about the GPT Drive, when I saw it on my laptop which works fine with UEFI fastboot mode.
For the moment the main drive on my desktop is MBR formated SSD.
Is it safe to clone the MBR SSD Drive to another GPT formated SSD Drive ?
In my Partition soft I saw that it can convert MBR Drives to GPT without data loss. Could this work ?
Thanks for reading me.
