Should I update O/S to Yosemite?

Running a Desktop Pro with 2x 2.4Ghz 6 core Xeon with 32 gb and wondering if its time to go to Yosemite. Got a new mac Air laptop and its running my main programs, Office 2011 and Adobe cloud that I am tempted to update.
Anyone got any horror stories or success stories they want to share before I hold my nose & plunge in? I learned to not be in a rush at every new update, so my gut say do it, Magic 8 Ball states, "Its Unsure." I usually trust it to guide me. Looking forward to any and all help...

It runs fine on our 2 computers. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won’t have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

Can I, and Should I, update to Yosemite?

Can I, and should I, update my MacBook Pro to Yosemite? I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8.

NO! don't update yet! wait! as i updated and now my mac is pretty much useless until apple decide to release another update and fix the bugs!!

Should I update to the newest iPhoto from Mavericks, before installing Yosemite?

I have a 13" MacBook Pro with a 2.4GHz Intel Core Duo processor, 16 GB memory (1607 MHz DDR3), and a 1 TB Samsung SSD hard drive. I have Mavericks 10.9.5 on it, and iPhoto 8.1.2 (iPhoto '09). I'm about to update to Yosemite, but I've read about people having problems with iPhoto and iPhoto Library after the update. Should I update to the newest version of iPhoto before updating to Yosemite? Is there anything else I should know about installing these updates?

I'm puzzled about why there aren't more questions like mine ("No similar content found")
Two possibilities there: one is that you've phrased the question in a way different from other posters with the same issue or not very many people have the issue.
and why Apple hasn't put more info/help files out there about the havoc that can be wrought upon iPhoto libraries if app and system software updates are not done in the correct order.
I'm really not sure what you're referring to here. You can't update to iPhoto 9.6 unless you're already on 10.10. There simply is no way to do it in the 'wrong order'. And there is no evidence that the order of updating makes a whit of difference to a Library anyway. You may have read about people having problems after an update - read more. There are always people who have issues after updates - updates of any app on any OS. The reasons can vary widely - everything from pre-existing issues on the host machine, faulty download, faulty installer, minor directory and disk damage. So, I really would not read too much into it.

HT4889 My new iMac says that my old Macbook is not updated to the latest Yosemite software so it won't let me migrate files. But I have checked my Macbook and it says that it is updated. What should I do?

I am trying to migrate files from an old Macbook--which is already updated with the latest Yosemite software--to a new iMac that also has the latest Yosemite software. But I keep getting an error message that says that my old Macbook is not updated. What should I do?

If the 2 computers have the correct cable connections, try the Target Disk Mode.

I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8 I need a portable external harddrive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6. Is there a suitable hard drive?

I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8
I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6. Is there a suitable hard drive? I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in. 500GB should be more than adequate.

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store

My MacBookPro is currently running on 10.6.8. What should I update to?

I am currently running 10.6.8 on my 2008 MacBook Pro. Processor speed:2.66 GH, memory 4GB. What operating system should I update to?

You might try Yosemite first, since it is free.
One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
If you don't like that, then Mountain Lion.

I have a macbook i bought in 2011. Should I update my operating system.

Im using osx 10.6.8 on a mac book bought in 2011. should i update? obviously I don't know much about this stuff. Any help would be great.

Reasons to update include:
1. New features that are useful to you.
There are many new features between 10.6 and 10.10. Many of them involve iCloud, which allows syncing of content across your Apple devices. Some involve efficiency, increasing battery life and reducing CPU load. You can find reviews of each of the OS versions since SL online. Read them, and see if you think the features are of use to you.
2. Compatibility with application software that you want to run.
If you need to use particular apps, then you might want to use the latest versions, and they may require using a newer OS.
3. Bug fixes and security.
Whilst no release is bug-free, there is a general movement to get bugs fixed. Yosemite has benefitted from the public beta to have a lot of issues reported and fixed. It also includes security fixes that prevent malware from attacking your computer.
Reasons not to update:
1. Older software may not work at all or well on a newer OS.
You will have to make sure that all your applications, hardware drivers and other software is compatible with Yosemite. This may involve having to buy new versions. Snow Leopard is the last version that can run old PPC software, written for pre-2006 Macs.
2. Things are different!
A lot of changes have been made to the interface since SL. You will need to get used to them.
You could always install Yosemite on an external drive, and give it a test drive!

Updated to OS X Yosemite, now photos appear as blank squares. What to do?

When I updated to OS X Yosemite I had to update iPhoto too. Then all my 2,000 photos were thrown in a recovered photo file, but I cannot see them anymore, they appear as blank squares. Asked for Apple support with no answer. What to do?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HT201068 Should I update this if I do not use Remote Desktop?

I do not use Apple Remote Desktop and honestly do not even know what it is. I constantly get updates for it. Should I update it if I do not even use it?
This one said that it includes improvements for Yosemite. I do not use Yosemite but MIGHT in the future. Does this fact make it important to use this update?

What is built into every mac operating system is the Client part of Apple Remote Desktop and it's Client the update refers to. To 'see' where the client 'lives' open the Sharing Preferences Pane in System Preferences. It's called Remote Management. Regardless of whether you use or know what it is, you should update it.
As always with any Operating System update make sure you have a back-up of anything important.
The Admin part of Apple Remote Desktop is explained here:

Open orders should not update in MD04

Hi, SD gurus,
I have the below requirement,
My business scenario is
when total open sales order quantity crosses a particular number(Ex:1000 Pcs) in a month, after that whatever the sales order we create it should not update in MD04.
Our Business process,
1. Creating a sales order
2. Allocation run (here system will execute Credit check, availability check, and listing an Exclusion etc. here we need to enter sales order no, plant, allocation type)
3. Creating a delivery
4. Invoicing the customer
Note:
Usually when we de check MRP type and allocation in Scheduline category system should not update in MD04, but if we de check this as for our business process system should not execute Allocation run
Thanks in Advance
Yuvaraj.

Respected Lakshmipathiji,
Thanks for your clarification but i have query here..
""if the users are ready to do this manually once a line item exceeds 1000 pcs a month, well and good""
How users will check material wise?(suppose if sales order contains more than 100 line items and each line item will have its own requirement updates--will they do this material wise?)
Is there any report which give the Status on Requirements for group of materials(MD04 status) in Standard SAP??

Downloaded Appleworks 6.2.9 for Mac Updater-2.sim but when i try to open the file i receive the message "legacy image should be updated". what does this mean and/or entail?

Mavericks is not recognizing the .smi extension - on my Mac it thinks it's a RealPlayer document. You are not going to be able to do anything with this - it requires AppleWorks to be present to be updated, and you can't run AppleWorks on Mavericks (other than by the rather roundabout process of installing Snow Leopard Server in Parallels and installing AppleWorks on that, as described here).

Should I update my iPhone 4 (4.1 to 5.0.1) or stay outdated? NEED HELP, PLEASE!!!!!!?

Ok, I know that this may be long but bear with me, really need your help guys!!!!
Ok, so a few years ago, I bought an iPhone 4 (I was in Zimbabwe, now in the US) that was factory unlocked from what I can tell. Reason why I "THINK" it's unlocked is because
1. It did not have Cydia installed when I got it, just stock with native apps only
2. Running on 02.10.04 Baseband (That cannot be Cydia Unlocked), I manage used several Network Providers and all Sim cards worked and still do, no problems. (Using T-Mobile Now)
3. Model Number is MC603B, and according to my research, it is a factory unlocked model.
Unless im mistaken???????
Here we go. The iOS 5.0.1 is out and I am now running iOS 4.1 (Jailbroken), which is really bakward, so loads of tweaks and apps cant run on my outdated iOS and i want iOS 5. I have heard people all over the internet complain that after the iOS5 upgrade, their phones locked-up and can't dowgrade or activate after the update, so if that happens im STUCK forever, and I really dont know what to do!!!!
HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS:
1. Is my phone really factory unlocked, based on what I listed above? Or is there any other way of checking???
2. If I DO update, do I risk locking-up my phone????
***3. Should I update it "while preserving my baseband" and still manage to Activate it, or just leave it to update my baseband????? PLEASE HELP. Read my questions carefully and answer on what you think.
Thanks alot guys

Well, since the iPhone is not officially sold in Zimbabwe, & that's where you purchased it, you can pretty much count on the fact that it was hacked to unlock it, regardless of what you think or see. Thus, you can be pretty much assured that if you update software your phone will be re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to.
