Should I fix or upgrade?

Alright,
Long story short my screen iPod 5.5gen broke in my backpack by 3 textbooks and an 11 year old. This problem has happened before so I know who can fix it. But i plugged it into iTunes and it said that it wanted it to restore the ipod. and i really don't want to do that. I then also realized that my hold switch is loose and at a flick of the wrist it turns on.
Is the hardrive crushed and i have lost everything?
Should i send it to the company to get the screen fixed and hope for the best?

Hello outofmind95,
Considering your iPod is a 5.5 generation and they have been out for some time now, and all the hardships your iPod has been through, your iPod's hard drive may not have much time left. When the iPod's screen was smashed, a number of internal components could have been damaged, but it would be hard to tell for sure.
The ultimate decision is up to you. You could upgrade by purchasing a refurbished iPod from the previous generation from Apple for a reasonable price or search for one on eBay.
The screen replacement may be the cheaper alternative in this situation, but in time, who knows how long, your entire iPod may need to be replaced. When it comes to getting knocked around or smashed, iPod's cannot really endure too much of it. Personally, I would start investing in a new iPod.
Hope this helps a bit.

Why should I pay for upgrade to CS6 twice?

Dear Adobe,
I upgraded from photoshop CS3 to Photoshop CS5 last November as you said we will be not able to upgrade from CS3 to CS6 directly anymore. And now, you changed your mind and users are still able to upgrade from older versions. If I would wait couple of months like others I would pay only once. Please, would you try to explain your business strategy? How should we trust you are not going to change your mind and rules every month?
Thank you for your explanation.
Kind regards,
Filip Zamorsky

And...Add my name to the list. I began another thread but I was told about this one. It's the same story as you all, I'm just not going to be ignored by customer service. Adobe caused the problem, Adobe should fix it.
Has anybody found a magic way to get customer service help? I have been waiting since last Tuesday for my problem to be resolved and I've been getting absolutely no understanding or willingness to take ownership of my problem. I have chatted online with 8 different people. Each time making painstaking attemts to explain the situation as being different than the "free upgrade" window that is posted on adobe.com.
Here is the situation.
Adobe said that we MUST upgrade to CS5 in order to upgrade to CS6.
In February, I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 based on item 1.
I went online last week to upgrade to CS6 from CS5 when I saw that I didn't have to spend the money to upgrade from CS4 to CS5 afterall.
Based on that, I feel I should be able to upgrade to CS6 without having to pay an addition $199.00.
Adobe said I had to upgrade so I did. That cost me $199.00 three months ago.
Now Adobe wants me to spend another $199.00 to get CS6.
I will not do that. I wouldn't have spent the first $199.00 if Adobe hadn't said it was necessary. It wasn't necessary afterall so I shouldn't be penalized for believing Adobe.
This is like the guy who's told he has a week to live so he gives away all of his earthly belongings. Then the doctor tells him he didn't mean it.
Now, On Wednesday, I got my request elevated to "concern group". They will contact me within 72 hours. That must be 72 business hours because I have not been concated.
So, Monday, I had to go through the entire scenerio for the umteenth time and again was assured the "concern group" would contact me withing 24 hours. I didn't believe the rep, based on my previous lack of contact and asked how I can contact the "concern group" myself so I don't have to go through this entire process again. The "concern group" is offline, no way to contact them but "I ASSURE YOU" you will hear from them withing 24 hours. Well, 48 hours later, I'm totally in a very hateful mood. I opened another chat session and rather than submitting that person on the other end to my venom, I just pasted my chat from Monday and said goodbye. Of couse, it's not going to do any good either.
I saw a message board online yesterday, and today I can't find it, where people in my same situation received their upgrade to CS6 with no addition cost.
I know it's being done but Customer service is so...aggravating that I believe it's a way to make people just give up and go away. Not this time.

Since installing Lion, I have not been able to utilize Time Machine (does not recognize the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not function properly; I have experienced unreasonable delays in the system. Is there a fix or upgrade coming?

Is there a fix or upgrade to deal with the many problems I am experiencing since I installed Lion? I can no longer utilize Time Machine (Does not see the back-up drive); my wireless mouse does not work properly; my iMac has slowed down considerably. I am reminded of having a PC machine again. Bummer!

Either downgrade to Snow Leopard or try reinstalling Lion.
Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

Do i need a new drive or should apple fix the problem!

since i upgraded to osx lion i keep getting an error code 0x80020022 every time i try and burn a dvd doesn't matter what type of program i use the some results error code.. 0x80020022 . does this mean a new drive is needed ?.. or bearing in mine it worked perfectly before lion was in stalled should apple fix the problem?
i wish i hadn't bothered with lion..

i was quite happy with snow leopard...
i mean apple do say keep your machine up to date ..do they not!

in the UK.

Restore your bootable backup/clone or Time Machine of your previous Snow Leopard installation and see if the problem persists.

I tried to turn it off and it didn't work... and I held on to the shift key too and it still doesn't work..
Please help me..

Accidental damage is not covered under Apple warranty. And it seems there is much accidental damage. Only a Genius Bar tech looking at it can tell how much it will cost to repair.
Cost to repair will be high, I suspect (though Genius Bar will confirm/deny.
There is no gentle way to say this sir/ma'am ... someone will need to pay for your friend's MBA repairs.

TS1292 I have a new macbook pro bought around a month ago so either the end of June or the beginning of July I know I should have a free upgrade to Snow Lion how do I get it

I should have a free upgrade to Snow Lion since the Macbookpro is around a month old now I have tried to upgrade to Snow Lion from the App store but it wants me to buy it . How do I get the free upgrade?

iWork! But Office 2008 or 2011 will run fine on Lion
Lion is awesome, and if you purchased your MacBook Pro since June 6th, go here to get a free copy> http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/
The bugs are few and far apart

My macbook is OSX 10.6.8, should I try to upgrade it or just get a new mac?

My macbook is OSX 10.6.8, should I try to upgrade it or get a new macbook?

Depends on how old it is and if it is able to do what you need it to do. Apple does not make a MacBook any longer. There are just 13" and 15" MacBook Pros.
If you need to upgrade OS X, then find out if your model can be upgraded past Snow Leopard. Note that Lion and later do not support any PPC-only software because the Rosetta emulator no longer works after Snow Leopard.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

Hi Renuka,
The model classes get generated under gen_cmi folder at the time of model import.
As far I know, the Web Dynpro build operation also re-generates these classes if reqd.
That is why I asked you to delete the gen_* folder content & do a Project Rebuild operation.
Or you can delete the model & try importing it again.
If the problem persists with the generated classes then there is an issue/bug with the generation & I would recommend to raise an OSS message (WD Java component)
Kind Regards,
Nitin

Hi. I'm planning to buy a MacBook Air. To make it faster, what should I prioritize to upgrade, the i5 processor to i7 or the 4gb RAM to 8gb. Thanks!

Hi. I'm planning to buy a MacBook Air. To make it faster, what should I prioritize to upgrade, the i5 processor to i7 or the 4gb RAM to 8gb. Thanks!

Absolutely the 8gig of Ram
i7 is only 15% faster average on high task apps, otherwise you'd not notice a difference

Apple should still fix iWeb bugs.

Apple should still fix iWeb bugs, even though it has been discontinued. There are many many bugs still in the latest version.
One of which is failure to save your current work and to enable the publish button when changes are made.

That's like asking Ford to continue to provide parts for the Edsel or Chevrolet for the Corvair.
What system and iWeb version are you using? iWeb 2 (08) is not compatible with Mt. Lion. iWeb 3 is. Others who have had that problem did find fixes.
As Roddy pointed out you could learn how to use iWeb and it's menus?
iWeb 2
iWeb 3:
It's really not that hard.

What precautions should I take before upgrading to iDVD 06 (and iLife 06)?

I have read a few people's experiences on this site about problems encountered after upgrading to iLife 06. I am about to do this and wondered what how I should go about backing up my iDVD and iMovie 5 half-completed projects in case they don't work properly in version 6.
Will a half-completed iDVD 05 project seemlessly covert to iDvd 6 after installation or should I complete it in 5 before upgrading? If I should go ahead and upgrade, in case there are problems, how do I back up my projects in case I need to reinstall iLife 5 to work on them again?
Thanks in advance

Also, I forgot to mention, I had read that not all the themes that are accessible in iDvd 5 are accessible in iDvd 6 - is this true? If so, what happens if I have used one in my half-completed projects?

Should I wait to upgrade InDesign and InCopy Software?

I are currently running InDesign CS4 on a MAC with OSX 10.7.3. There are 9 InCopy users all on PC's that edit over the network. Everything was working ok until I got a new computer and started running Lion. Since that time my InDesign has crash multiple times, with autosaves not always working. I was hoping to wait for CS6 which I know is coming out soon but the crashes are costing me a lot of time. My question(s) are:
Is anyone else having this troupble and if so what have they done?
Should I go ahead and upgrade now instead of waiting for CS6 as I had planned? Will that solve this problem?
Thank you for your answers in advance.

I moved the document off the server to my desktop and so far no crashes. If I have another I will post. Thank you!

HT1725 Some songs that I paid for fully downloaded, but it is only playing the small sample piece from the Itunes store. How should I fix this?

I had a Wish List with about 7 or 8 songs on there and I purchased them today. They all downloaded fine, except for 2. These two songs completed the download from what the computer says, but it will only play the short sample avaliable from the Itunes store. How should I fix this?

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting them from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

My phone started vibrating mutiple times last night and the screen went black, and then it stopped and now I dont have a clue what to do. How should I fix this problem because I cant turn it back on? I have only had my phone for 2 months.

I also live an hr away from the Apple store, so its not the best thing to go there just to ask a question and find out what to do

Should I fix or upgrade?
