Simplest way to update from 10.4?

I currently have an OS X Server 10.4 running, with a couple of sites and emails located on some domains.
The question is; What is the easiest way to update a Mac OS X Server 10.4 to 10.6?
I tried to update to 10.6 (on a cloned drive) to see what happened. It looked to me that most of the settings were maintained, except for the hosted sites. Because of that not much worked of course, and I didn't have the time to have more downtime on the server than this, to try more things out.
I am running SQL, Web, FTP (that worked after update) and Mail. All in all there are about 10 different domains and maybe 50 different email accounts.
Any good ideas?

A good option would be to pick up the Mac Box Set (cheaper than the prices for Leopard on other retailers -- esp for what you get). It will upgrade you to Snow Leopard and give you iLife & iWork. (From what I recall from Apple a single Snow Leopard disc wont upgrade from TIger to Snow Leopard).
That way you can install the latest iTunes and sync your iPhone 4.
a cheaper cost effective investment instead of buying a whole new Mac.

Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

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
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz
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.

Simplest way to update a news box?

I am looking for the easiest way to update a scrolling text
box. Ideally I would be able to write the text I wanted in a
Microsoft Word document, then store the file on the server with the
rest of my site files. The site, upon loading, would use that text
document to create the text in my scrolling text box with an
applied font, size, etc. I am wondering if their is an HTML code or
a DW process that would help with this.
A more advanced problem would be to place a full HTML
document, with pictures, into the same scrolling box.
Any thoughts?

I don't know what your skill level is, but xml is the best
way to do what
you want. Forget about MS Word and use Notepad or another
suitable Text
Editor.

Is there a way to update from 10.4.11 to 10.5?

I am trying to install photoshop elements, but i am unable to do so unless i have 10.5!
Can someone help?

You will need to purchase a retail copy of Leopard. See: Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
If you have an Intel iMac you may wish to move up to Snow Leopard instead. It is $100.00 less expensive to purchase than Leopard.
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

What would be the simplest way to view and take control over the internet?

Hi All:
Can some one tell me what would be the best and simplest way to connect from my laptop to another laptop through the internet?
I have DYNdns running on the second laptop and have a host name assigned to that system for it to update the IP since the system uses different internet connections. The services that I would like to be able to have are the viewing and controlling of the system. I've read some where in this NG that if I have a copy of ARD admin. installed on that system also, it would be one way to do it... can some one verify this and please let me know if there are any specific settings I need to have on either one of the systems.
I can connect to the second laptop while in my home network with no problem and perform all tasks. when trying to connect through the internet.. the system shows offline .
Both systems are identical in hardware an software, Intel 2.16, 2G's RAM, OS X ver 10.5.2 all up to date and ARD 3.2
Yes, I'm new to ARD and yes I'm searching the NG and the net. but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask since time is limited.
All help greatly appreciated ..
TIA
Oscar A.

To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3283 and 5900 so those must be open.
If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
to connect.
The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps.

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

There is no automatic way to generate XML documents from an arbitary set of relational tables using the information contained in an XML Schema. Typically the easiest way to generate XML from relational data is to use the SQL/XML operators (XMLElement, XMLAGG, XMLAttribtues, XMLForest). There are many examples of using these operators in the forums You can validate the generated XML against the XML Schema by registering the XML Schema with XML DB and then using the XMLType.SchemaValidate() method

? Simplest way to move .pdf files from my iMac to my iPad2 and read them on the iPad2?

I did a search for the answer to this 2 part question but got only a jumble of answers,mostly from 2010.
Title above is self-explanatory.
1.How to I get .pdf's to my iPad2 from my Mac?
2. What is the easiest and best way to read them once they are on my iPad?
I have seen some mention of .pdf reader Apps and also mention of using iTunes to sync .pdf's between desktop Mac and iPad but no explanation of how to do it. Even the iPad2 Missing Manual gives short shrift to this topic.
TIA for any assistance with this.

PS my iOS is 4.3.5 but I cannot find it in the drop down box so I added it in notes.

iBooks: Viewing, Syncing and Saving And Printing PDF files on iPod, iPad and iPhone. This explains the process pretty well.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4227
Another way to get PDF files to your iPad are to email them. I find this to be the absolute, simplest way transfer PDF files. It may not be practical for multiple PDFs but for a couple here and there it really is so easy and simple to do. When you open the PDF in the email you can choose the Open In function and then open them in iBooks where you can save, read and print them. Another method is to use DropBox for access to multiple PDF files.
There are any number of PDF reader apps available and you can look for them in the app store.
