Software licence issues when upgrading to Leopard with a new machine

Hi,
This is a question about my licence for Logic, but also on a broader scale, all my plugins and AU instruments etc. of which I have bought many.
I want to upgrade to Leopard (currently on Tiger 10.4.11), and realise that it's going to be a long and painful process to re-install each program/plugin etc. as I want to start from a clean Leopard install.
I also want to do this on a new MacBook Pro, but am wondering what kind of complications I'm going to run into when doing so. I can't just close one machine down while I transfer across the programs as I need it to work with, so I was going to prepare an external FW (or USB?) hard drive with Leopard, configure it and install all I need, and then clone that to my new MBP once I've got the money together to buy it.
Will this void the licence for Logic (and all my other programs) considering I'll essentially have two different machines with the same software? Is there an easier way to do this (particularly without installing each program again)?
Thanks

You can run Logic on two different machines; just not at the same time. So there are no logistical (ha ha) problems from that point of view.
As regards the more general issue of copying over data…
There are applications such as Carbon Copy Cloner (shareware) which can make exact copies of your volumes, & there is Migration Assistant (part of OS X) that will allow you to move over the bits you need.
But if you are going for a clean install, you might prefer to do everything the hard way & re-install everything.
Personally, what I usually do is first a clean install, & then use my carefully-prepared back-ups to put everything from their previous locations directly into the corresponding locations in the new system. But this isn't recommended unless you really know what you're doing!
However, it does work perfectly for most things, as long as you take a few precautions & do everything in exactly the right order.
You can search in other Forums for lots of good advice on this type of move-over.

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered

I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

I have upgraded Snow Leopard with Combo 10.6.8, the supplemental update and fixed permissions, but still can't open app store to upgrade to Mountain Lion. I am on the Cayman Islands. Thanks for the help!

Don't be afraid to bump this topic. There's also an App Store forum where you might repost this question, but give some of these details in your post. I'd rephrase the topic to something like "Can't use App Store to upgrade." (Instead of can't "open".) Then give the details.

When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I lost my Visual Voicemail when upgrading to iphone 5. New phone was set up from itunes backup of iphone4 but my Mac tells me there is an iCloud back up of my phone prior to this date. Will my Vis Voicemail be on this and can I get it on my new phone?

I see. Apple's documentation on what is included in the iCloud backup doesn't explicitly say that it contains voicemails, but that doesn't mean it does not. You would just have to try restoring the backup to find out.
To restore to your iCoud backup you have to start by erasing the phone. Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. Then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup. You will then sign into your iCloud account, accept the terms and conditions, then choose the backup you wish to restore from. To see an older backup, you may need to tap "Show older backups" (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.
If this does not recover your voicemails, you can check to see if you have an older iTunes backup that may contain them. Available backups are shown in iTunes Preferences>Devices on the Backups list.
If all else fails, you could try contacting your carrier. Voicemail is a carrier feature and they may have an archive you could access.

Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account.

Creative cloud keeps me logged in to my old account even when I log in with my new account. When I log out of the new account, it has kept me logged in to the older account. Because of this, I can't access the programs. I am trying to access the free trials on the new account before purchasing the subscription on the new account, but it keeps me registered as the older account, even though I requested for the older account to be cancelled. I have also tried multiple times to uninstall both the programs and creative cloud desktop but the same thing keeps happening. Can someone please help me?

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine

Startup issue when having more than one database on machine:
I’ve installed two databases.
When I shutdown one of the database and try to start it up using
Startup pfile=’…location..’;
I get ora-12514: TNS: listener does not currently know of service rquirest in connect descriptor
when I try it again after 3 seconds, I get a new error, ora-01041: internal error. Hostdef extension doesn’t exist
Shutdown and Startup gave no problems when I had one database. Why am I getting problems when I have two databases?
I’m using: show parameter pfile|spfile; to make sure I have the right parameter locations, so the error shouldn’t be from location.
I’ve never installed two databases on one machine, so maybe I’m making a first-timer’s error.
Anyone know how to get this working, i.e. starting and stopping DB without issues?
Using oracle 11gR2 on Windows 7 64bit, all is working normal.
Thanks,
Ayman

Still not working though.
When I start the services of both databases using Services, I can connect and run queries from both of the database.
Edited by: aymanzone on Jun 15, 2011 11:47 AMFirstly ... the Oracle Service for the instance should be started for the DB you are trying to connect or start.
Next ... from the command prompt:
set oracle_sid=<Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'
Now, if you want to start or connect to another DB which is on the same server (again assuming the Service is STARTED) ...
From the same command prompt session or other ....
set oracle_sid=<Other_Instance_Name>
sqlplus sys as sysdba
startup pfile='location of the respective db pfile'

HT2845 If my magic mouse is already paired with a machine that is no longer working how can I unpair it so I can use it with a new machine?

I wish to pair my old magic mouse with a new machine but have no way of unpairing to the last computer. Is there some sort of reset on the mouse? Is there any other way to unpair it? Thank you.

You don't need to unpair it with the old machine, the mouse is unaware of the pairing. Turn the mouse off and back on and pair it to the new machine in System Preferences > Bluetooth.

Can I use my old battery & power cord with my new machine?

Hiya everyone,
I recently trashed the screen of my iBook bought in Sept 03 (by spilling water on it.) I've now bought a new one, and as the battery and power cable from my old machine are still fine, and as I could do with a spare of each, I just wanted to check it would be ok to use them with my newer machine.
Both machines are 12 inch iBook G4s, the only differences I can think of are as follows:
Old machine:
30GB hard drive
1 GHz
256MB ram
New machine:
80GB hard drive (I had it customized)
1.33GHz
512MB ram
I'd appreciate knowing whether my old power cord and battery can be used with my new machine, so if anyone could answer my question, I'd be most grateful. Thanks everyone.

Hi Charity,
Yes, you can use both. They have the same specs.

Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
Then sync.

Keyboard issues after upgrading to Leopard

Seems there's been quite a bit of discussion about this topic already but it's been confined to laptops and I haven't seen a solution yet. I'm seeing the same problems on a desktop computer using either a wireless or USB keyboard.
After upgrading to Leopard, my keyboard would occasionally stop responding to keystrokes. I have seen this happen on both an Apple USB keyboard and my Logitech wireless keyboard. With either keyboard, the letter and number keys would stop responding but keys like the CapsLock and Delete keys would still work. I have seen this happen when using Mac Office 2004 (Excel and Word) and Safari. With Excel, when the keyboard stops responding, if I click on a different cell, the keyboard comes back. I did update to 10.5.2 and I do have the latest version of the Logitech software but the problems still persist.
Strangely, I have only seen this happen on my MacPro but NOT my MacBook. There is a difference on how each machine was upgraded to Leopard though. On my MacBook, I did a clean install of Leopard on a new hard drive and then migrated my docs and apps from the old drive. On my Mac Pro, I did an upgrade installation over Tiger. Fortunately, I cloned my hard drive prior to installing Leopard so going back is an option and so is doing a clean install followed by a migration which is what I did on my MacBook.
Is there a fix for the keyboard problems? Am I going to have to downgrade back to Tiger?

Thanks for posting this. I thought I was alone in the universe. I have the problem with my mini, which came with Leopard installed. The USB keyboard will stop working in Word or Entourage ('04) and I have to close and reopen the document to get the keyboard going again. Thankfully, my mouse still works when this happens, so I can use it to close and save.
It seems to sometimes be triggered when I switch between applications, but I haven't been able to replicate it consistently. It is particularly bad when using find in Word. The find window will go dead and I have to close it and reopen it to do another search. (Though interestingly, I don't have to close the Word doc.)
It's irritating.

Abap issues when upgrading from 4.7 to ecc6.0

hello All,
I am posting this question with intention of general issues we face that are abap related when upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6.0,
do the programs ahve to be adjusted, if sumone cud also throw some light on what is unicode and wat role does it play in the upgrade,
some specific examples wud be appreciated
thanks,
RS

hi,
Go through this
Unicode is an international standard that assigns characters from virtually every
language and script a unique Unicode Scalar Value, which is a number written in
hexadecimal notation.
     Character     Unicode Scalar Value     Unicode Character Name
     A      U+0041          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
     Ä     U+00C4          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS
     α     U+03B1          GREEK SMALL LATTER ALPHA
Implementing the Unicode standard enables a single software product or a single
web site to be accessed across multiple platforms, languages, and countries without
the need for re-engineering. It allows data to be transferred across many different
SAP and non-SAP systems without corruption. To meet these requirements, the SAP
Unicode team continues to promote Unicode-enabled SAP systems, aid their
installation, and provide tools and full technical support for the smooth
conversion of existing SAP non-Unicode systems to Unicode.

Solution Manager ChaRM Issues when Upgrading Satellite System

When upgrading a satellite system that is connected to Solution Manager's Change Request Management, is there anything that we need to be aware of?
Will Change Documents still be able to go to completion (Production status) if we modify the landscape from the time the Change Document is In Development to the time it is moved to Production?
1. Normal Correction (In Development) Development (ECC 5.0) -> Quality (ECC 5.0) -> Production (ECC 5.0)
2. Landscape is changed to Development (ECC 6.0) -> Quality (ECC 6.0) -> Production (ECC 5.0)
3. Normal Correction moved to To Be Tested -> Consolidated -> Production
Will the Normal Correction be in error because the landscape changed for the iBASE?
Are there any other lessons learned that anyone has experienced with Change Request Management or Implementation during and after an upgrade?
Thank You,
Carlen

Thanks Subhashini!
We had issues updating the Task List in the past. After we update the landscape and refresh the project and update the Task List, do you foresee any other problems?
Are there any additional items we should look out for? For example, we understand it is a requirement to release all transports prior to beginning the upgrade. However, since the release of the transport locks the change into the cycle for the next production move, this will present a problem if the change is not yet ready to be moved into Production. Do you have any further insight to any additional issues such as this?
Thanks again!
