I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks. I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

After upgrade to ios7, few time i am having problem with my sound/speaker with terroble sound effect like machine or something.but after restart it will be fine.but how this thing can be fix? Because i never had this problem before upgrade to ios7.tq

Try going into your settings and 'reset all settings'
You will need to retweak your device but it's been said to help with sound issues.

What I wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install

The truth is that I am on my FIFTH Lion Server install on the same box this week. While I was working on #4, I went ahead and submitted a ticket with Apple and arranged a timeslot for this morning to work with them to help me past my struggles with Lion Server. This post is the result of that experience. Big props to Apple support techs Chuck and Don - you know who you are!
What I Wish I'd Known Before My Lion Server Install
1. Do NOT migrate user accounts, apps, and files, until AFTER you have the Server set up and working correctly.
- This one tip, which is brilliantly simple, would have saved me four very long days of head bashing.
2. Server Admin Tools are mandatory.
- The first time around I used the Server App to configure the system (after an upgrade install, and subsequently after a clean install + migration).
- Server Admin allows you to set up the foundation of your server - which it NEEDS!
- DNS - configure a local, pseudo domain for your server if you're doing this at home. Something like "mynet.private" - if you don't, your SSL certificates can get all jacked up, your clients will not trust your certs. This breaks a lot of stuff.
3. Do NOT accept the mDNS .local domain suffix for your Server
- At each step, if something auto-fills your server name as name.local reject it, and use the fully qualified domain name that you set up above (server.mynet.private).
- If you do not do this, anything that requires certificates could/will have big problems.
4. Enable services one at a time. Reboot after EACH major phase past the core Lion install.
- Base install ... Server install. REBOOT
- DNS configuration. REBOOT
- validate your host name - I needed to force a 'changeip' command because there was a problem with the HOSTNAME retaining the mdns .local domain name.
- OD Master config. REBOOT
- Set up Podcast Producer (which will also setup your Xgrid). REBOOT
5. Take images of your hard drive as you go.
- Once I got the core server installed, the basic services above, I rebooted and held the option key, then restarted on the Recovery HD image.
- Use Disk Utility to take a snapshot image of your hard disk so you can get back to this wonderful place of everything working! It's cheap insurance, and adds a bit of extra time, but is well worth it. If you leave the default settings alone (the 'compressed' one in particular) it will use as little space as possible. My server at this stage of configuration created a 4GB disk image.
6. Use the Migration Assistant After the above
- Now you can migrate your apps
- Migrate your users
- etc.
If you use the Migration option while you're installing the server, or if you upgrade on top of your Snow Leopard (or whatever), I can almost guarantee you that you are in for a world of hurt.
I struggled through all kinds of issues with files having embedded information, scattered throughout all the various subsystems, that gummed up my installation and would case all manner of the flakey Lion Server behavior that you read about ("Error Reading Configuration").
If you want to use Podcast Producer, or any of the Profile Manager features, the above methodology was the only way that I could get them to work. Often times I'd have everything working, then reboot and it would break. After I did the above, the system is as solid as a rock.
Today, I love Lion Server. Yesterday I was cursing it.
Best of luck!!

There are 2 distinct apps in Lion Server.... Podcast (in Server app) and Podcast Producer (Server admin which is deemed legacy from SNS). Podcast uses Podcast Publisher instead of Podcast Capture to produce, edit and submit to Podcast app. Podcast doesn't requre Xgrid where PCP did. The two don't mix.
It's as clear as mud in all the documentation about this.
We're finding that Podcast Publisher has much more flexibility that Podcast Capture (edit, episodes & more), can use existing workflow from PCP, doesn't require xgrid, and podcasts can easily be managed by non-IT people via the Podcast wiki as opposed to the CLI pcast commands to edit & modify PCP feeds.
Hope this helps.

Backup Mail account settings before upgrade

I want to backup my account settings before I do a complete fresh install of the OS, to save having to setup all my e-mail accounts again.
I see you can Archive mail boxes, but to me this sounds like an archive of the actuall mail, and not the actuall POP settings.
How do I backup the settings (POP servers, usernames, custom ports etc)?
This is not mentioned in the Mail Help built in to the app at all.
Neil

Why do you need to reinstall the entire OS from scratch; what's wrong with it?
It keeps crashing, freezing up, Windows appear half off the screen, and not draggable, some times un selectable, Context (Right click) Menu often appears on random parts of the screen, often get the Press and Hold Power button to restart message. Something major is up with it. Re install is the easist way to go.
The best way to backup things is to have a bootable backup on it's own separate hard drive; if you currently don't have that, it's time to get it so you can prevent a catastrophe in the future. Your hard drive in the Mac will die someday.
I have plenty of data backups. I have a 4 HDD Mac Pro workstaion. 500gb is boot drive, 1 TB for user home folders, 1Tb as Time machine drive, and 1 TB as original data drive. Data is nightly backed up to a 1,5TB FreeNAS box in the attic which is mirrored to a second drive inthe same box, plus a weekly SSH to a remote box at my fathers house.
I do have Carbon Copy Clones and Super Duper copies of the boot drive, but these problems have been going on since those backups have been created. I did not plan much of a backup strategy for the OS, as I had been lead to believe that the OS was so good/stable failures like I am experiencing do not occur. I should be able to do a Time machine restore of the OS boot drive anyway. So if my thinking is correct I could probably do away with the bootable backup. But I still have the CCC and SD copies just in case. I would also like to have a clean fully running install before upgrading to Snow Leopard next month.
If you just need to backup your Mail account preferences, copy the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences to a separate CD or hard drive, along with your mail. Then restore it to the same location when you're done reinstalling everything else, before you start Mail.
OK, great the plist file...should have guessed that really
Thanks

What do i need to do with my current iPhoto before upgrading to iPhoto 11? i don't want to lose any of my photos!

i'm getting ready to upgrade to iphoto 11 so i can use photostream. I just don't want to lose my current photos.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you open iPhoto '11 for the first time, your library will be upgraded in order to be used with iPhoto '11. If this process doesn't finish correctly, you will lose all your photos.
Because of that, the only thing you have to do is to make a backup of your iPhoto library before upgrading. Just open a Finder window, go to the folder where your iPhoto library is (normally, Pictures) and make a copy of it in another folder or drive. With this, you can upgrade safely to iPhoto '11

Sealing a Management Pack before upgrading to R2

We are planning on upgrading our environment from 2012 SP1 to R2. I read somewhere that Management Packs should be sealed before upgrading. Not sure if the source was talking about a SM upgrade but seems logical it was. We have one particular Management
Pack with about 90% of our structure saved to and the Management Pack is unsealed. Should we seal it before upgrading to R2?
The article I read mentioned something about uninstalling and reinstalling of MP's during an upgrade and there was a potential for data to get lost during this process if the MP is unsealed.

Bit late to the party, but it doesn't make sense to seal things before a version upgrade. the decision on sealed vs unsealed is usually made within minutes of the creation of the management pack: does it contain things that need to stay constant and can
be referenced? then it needs to be sealed. does it contain things that might change with normal organization operations? probably needs to be unsealed.
Classes, Forms, Enum Roots, and other "internal" things, should be in sealed MPs. these are things that NEED to stay consistent. Enum values, offerings, workflows, templates, all could change as the org changes, and those should generally stay
in unsealed MPs. everything else is (as always) a gray area; use your judgement.
That being said, there is an argument for keeping stuff you care about in other MPs then the default "configuration library" MPs. those are provided by microsoft, and technically, a new patch COULD distribute a new version of those MPs that wipe
out your changed, but MS would be HARD PRESSED to justify that after assuring all of us that those are intended for customer data.

Should I do any "maintenance" before upgrading to Snow Leopard?

Are there any simple things I should do before doing a direct upgrade to Snow Leopard? I have gone through and deleted a ton of files that I don't need, but that's not the maintenance I mean. Should I do a disk repair, clear cache, etc? Anything?

I verified the disk, but it's fine. I also did a permissions repair.
For backups I've used Time Machine (to a 500gb external). I know it's not the best solution, but I like it. It's been working fine since Leopard came out, and I have done one restore from it.
Actually, just tonight I've been experiencing a lot of beachballing, I'm not sure what's causing that. One thing I should point out is that I recently installed some new ram, and I've heard that can occasionally cause issues (but I doubt it's the problem).

Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Most of the applications compatible with Lion are also compatible with Mountain Lion, so you shouldn't have any problem. Mountain Lion supports the latest update for Parallels 7 and 8, so if you haven't got one of these versions, you should upgrade it before upgrading Mac OS X. That application uses extensions, so it may cause kernel panics

All-
A couple people suggested that I post a link to this article from another forum... a few things that I needed to do to get a good Lion Server installation up and running solidly.

Question before upgrading to Snow

Hi,
I am finally going to upgrade (mainly so I can continue to use iCal and sync, etc.). I have heard that some of my printers may no longer work once I upgrade.
Is that true? And are there other things that go awry with upgrade such as software programs like Office 2011 and Adobe CS5 programs?
Finally, is there a central document available where I can view what's known to be a hazard prior to upgrading?
Thanks.

Hello c:
In order….
I have heard that some of my printers may no longer work once I upgrade.
Is that true?
Supported printers: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
And are there other things that go awry with upgrade such as software programs like Office 2011 and Adobe CS5 programs?
Office 2004 works fine…theer is no reason why Office 2011 will not work. Search these forums for information about the Adobe program (the manufacturer's web site should give you what you need to know).
Finally, is there a central document available where I can view what's known to be a hazard prior to upgrading?
No, to my knowledge. That sort of document would be flawed anyhow, as each system is a bit different.
Barry
P.S. I have been running OS X 10.6.7 since its release with no problems at all.

Deinstalling Creative Cloud applications before upgrading Mac OSX?

Hello, I believe that I need to deinstall my Creative Cloud applications before upgrading my Mac OSX, but my question is whether I need to deinstall each application separately, or if simply deinstalling the Creative Cloud under Adobe Installers would handle everything. And then I need to reinstall each application separately?
Thank you
Chris

Hi chris2500,
First thing that you need to do is deactivate your software from the machine. In order to do so you have to launch any CC application/ go to help and select sign out. For uninstalling the software you will have to uninstall all the apps seperately.
For installing the apps download CC desktop and start downloading. The download will proceed in a sequence.

Romit Sinha

Things I should know before buying a MacBook Pro?

Currently looking into buying my first MacBook, and I am looking at waht I believe to be last years MacBook Pro, but I am wondering what essential things should I know before buying one? And what things should I buy to go with it? Or anything I should be aware of?

Doelago wrote:
For the budget it was more like, dont jump from 1200€ to 2400€.
And I am done with Windows Laptops. They said that the one I am currently running would be good and last me for years, but that was BS. As a rather technologically challenged person I want a machine that will work and not attract viruses in droves.
Mac's are not exactly cheap, and to do 3D gaming your going to need the 15" MacBook Pro or better, prefeably the top end model with powerful graphics to last the longest with paid OS X upgrades one has to perform annually.
You wanted to be aware of buying a Mac, I can tell you this. Even though a Windows PC tends to get malware, it all depends upon the user and their actions online, sharing files and email services choices. I have Windows using friends and it's all about what sites they visit online, if they share files or get email on the machine or via a reliable web email service like Gmail, Hushmail etc that watches for malware/spam.
The best thing about Windows 7 is if you make the System Restore boot disks/images regularly, date them and make your file backups, you can recover your own system if it gets malware. Security Essentials anti-malware is free. Microsoft supports Windows with security and stability updates for apx 10 years on average, all you need to do is find a reputable PC hardware vendor with good products.
Laptops don't last nearly as long as desktops, this goes for expensive Mac's as well as PC's.
Apple's 13" Macbook Pro and under series are nothing more than your standard Windows 7 Office store PC in a fancy case, their performance and OS upgrade options tend to slow down faster than the 15" MacBook Pro series and up.
Also Apple releases a new OS X version every year, if you don't upgrade and thus have to upgrade all your third party software, your DENIED security and stability updates rather fast. The new OS X versions tend to slow down older machines to force you to consider a hardware upgrade before the machine has lived it's full hardware lifespand.
So with Apple your paying more for your annual computing costs than with Windows PC, and with a expensive MacBook Pro laptop, one drop or theft/lost away and your out a very expensive investment.
Over the last 10 years, I have spent nearly $10,000 on Apple hardware for $1000 a year, my Windows XP using friend has spent $1000 total over that same last 10 years for a Windows XP desktop that is still going actually (installed a new video card for him last week)
If you want a machine that will really last, get a Windows 7 tower with upgradable options, like 4GB of RAM expandable to 16GB, a decent power supply and video card upgrade options. With Mac's you can't upgrade the video card and the MacPro you can't find newer faster cards. So your 3D gaming on a Mac is going to get cut off a lot sooner as newer, more hardware demanding 3D games are released.
Sure Windows is a pain, however as a lifelong Mac user I can honestly say Windows 7 is pretty decent operating system compared to Vista and XP, it's not quite as nice as OS X, nor as reliable, however if one takes the proper precautions while on the Internet, makes System Restore Disks/Images (included in Windows 7 now) then one can restore their own system themselves quite easily, a Mac requires a rare/occassional reinstall too depending upon the user abuse, it's not immune to that, also there ARE Mac based malware, just not as much.
All one has to do is find a quality PC vendor for their hardware, I hear Dell is making cheap crap now, however they do have a nice system in place for hardware upgrade options.
Another issue with Mac's, is that 99% of the buisness world uses Windows PC's, Mac's comprise of only 6% now of the total computing market compared to over 90% Windows PC's, your going to need to keep your skills up there and on a Mac, you will have to BUY Windows and install it on your Mac, a extra cost plus the Windows software you need to keep your skills up on. I made that mistake only using Mac operating systems all these years, I am suffering for that now.
So if your rich college student, then get a powerful Mac laptop that can run Windows in Bootcamp and a virtual machine program.
If your a poor college student, then forget the Mac and get a cheap $400 Windows PC laptop and a Playstation 3, both disposable and cheaply replaceable.
There is nothing special about a Mac anymore other than a "status symbol", if you buy a decent PC latop with a good screen, good graphics it will do the job you need and not tend to get stolen like Mac's do, or in some cases a unknown jealous PC user will spill a drink on your Mac or try to walk off with it like has occured with my 17" MacBook Pro.
Times are tough and if you want a flashy quality PC laptop, get a Sony or something, least it runs Windows for the next 10 years or until the hardware drops.
Apple is all about providing the most expensive computer for the rich consumer market, not the most practical anymore.
Laptops always last longer than open desktop towers and Apple doesn't really care about the lower cost market, rather see you have something than be always paying a lot more with Apple products you can't afford.

HT1766 I want to restore my iPhone to the backup I did just before upgrading to iOS6. Today's sync/backup erased most of my contacts and almost all of my phone numbers within the remaining contacts. No iCloud backup because of other issues still to resol

I want to restore my iPhone to the backup that I did just before upgrading to iOS6. When I try to pull up old backups, I only see one from this morning and an old one from May 2012 when I still had my iPhone 3GS. I have not been using iCloud since it was set up improperly when I first switched to the 4S, the contacts weren't being synced AT ALL. visited the genius bar, they said I need a whole other appointment to visit them and solve that, I haven't had a chance to do that yet. Thus, I am backing up to iTunes.
This morning's sync/backup resulted in me losing most of my contacts, and for the contacts that remain, 99% of the phone numbers are gone. I can recover my calendar entries from this past week, but I don't know how I can recover all of them from my May 2012 backup.
Since I had a backup just last week, I'd like to just go back to it. But how? Or, is there another way to get my contacts restored? And why did they disappear? And what else may be gone that I just don't know about yet?
