Tips to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 to 10.9 on macbook aluminium 2008.

Hi,
I'm looking for tips on how I could or should upgrade the OS of my macbook aluminium since I bought an Iphone 5 that can't be handle by itune 10.6.1 and a new time capsule that can't backup my macbook as it is.
Here are the specs of my computer.
Macbook aluminium early 2008
Os X 10.5.8
processor : 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory : 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
L2 cache : 3MB
Hard drive : 150G
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8D)
LCD Resolution: 1280 x 800
Is there any danger to loose data from my Itune library or garage band? What's your advices?
Thanks for helping me getting a little more up to date. ;-)
Marc

Your computer can't run 10.9. Back up your data, click here, install the DVD, run Software Update
, go to the online Apple Store, and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now.

I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc. It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc. It ejects every time now. I've also installed the 10.5.8 combo update but that didn't help it. I've tried restarting the macbook with the disc in, holding c, all that. Why won't this work?!

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

Any tips for upgrading from LR4 to LR5

I am just about to attempt my upgrade from LR4 (student edition) to full-fledged LR5. Any hints or tips on how to redirect LR4 directories, etc. to LR5? Other tips for the install? (Obviously, I've backed up my computer prior to starting.)
Thanks!
Rick

Your "full-fledged" Lightroom 5 will be no different than the student version of Lightroom 5, because there is only one Lightroom program. You'll have new features in Lightroom 5, of course. But don't expect anything extraordinary because there is no difference. All you have to do is install Lightroom 5. Since it is an upgrade, it will look for that serial number from your Lightroom 4, and then you will have to enter the new serial number for Lightroom 5. When Lightroom starts it will find your previous catalog and will offer to upgrade it to the appropriate format. The original Lightroom 4 catalog will be left as it was, and completely usable by Lightroom 4. After the upgrade process completes you should be able to see all the images and all the work that you did in Lightroom 4, but you will be using the new program. It's a very straightforward process.

Tip for upgrading from MBP to iMac with Leopard & Parallels Boot Camp

Here are some pointers based on my recent experience upgrading from a MacBook Pro to an iMac, under Leopard and with Parallels using a Boot Camp partition for Windows.
First, you do not need to create a Windows partition on your new computer. You will use Boot Camp Assistant to do that - it can dynamically resize your existing Mac OS X partition without destroying it. (I initially used Disk Utility to create a Windows partition but it wasn't recognised properly by Parallels and also the Mac wouldn't boot from it).
A great way to simplify getting your old installation across is to make a Time Machine backup onto an external drive. Yes, you could also use start up your old Mac in Target mode (hold down T key when you start it), then start the new Mac and copy your settings over. But in my case, the new iMac (a refurb) came with Tiger installed on it while my old Mac had already been upgraded to Leopard.
I started the new Mac using a Leopard install CD (holding down the C key while starting). Then I chose to restore from a Time Machine backup instead of installing from CD, and soon had a functioning Leopard installation on the new Mac. Well, almost.
Next I used Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition on the new drive. The old Mac's partition was only 10 GB in size, but I made the new one 31.9 GB in size (so I could stay under the Windows limit of 32 GB for FAT partitions). I then quit without installing Windows.
On the old Mac, I used an external drive formatted as FAT and used Disk Utility to 'restore' my Windows partition to the external drive. Next I plugged that drive into the new Mac, and restored the external Windows partition to the new Mac's Windows partition. So far, so good. However, Parallels would not start this installation of Windows, and the new Mac would not boot into it (holding down the Option key at start-up did not show me a Windows drive).
I tried doing a repair of the Windows installation using a Windows install disk but that did not work. What did work was the following: I booted from the Window install CD, then started a new installation. I asked Windows to format the Windows partition on the new Mac, then powered off the new Mac as soon as Windows started copying files. Next, I rebooted the new Mac into Mac OS X, started Disk Utility, and again did a restore of the Windows partition on the external drive to the Windows partition on the new Mac.
The final step was to reboot the new Mac into Windows directly so that I could load drivers from the Leopard install CD. [I haven't done that yet, so I'm not sure it's necessary].
Hope this helps!

Sounds solid to me. If the Glyph was connected on a firewire port that is. This would free up the bandwith that way but actually it is hardly an issue with the Duet considering the limited inputs. But using the Glyph as a backup for your projects is good wise idea anyway.

It's possbile to upgraded from win2003 x64 sp2 which installed SCOM 2007 R2 into windows 2008 R2 directly?

current OS: windows 2003 R2 x64 SP2
current SCOM version: SCOM 2007 R2
current database version: SQL Server 2005
it's possbile to upgraded from win2003 which installed SCOM 2007 R2 into windows 2008 R2 directly without reconfiguartion SCOM?

Hi,
And as far as I know, in-place operating system upgrade could work, but there is no document about this. Please take backup before doing upgrade.
If you want to in place upgrade the OS, we can simply move SCOM databases to new servers and rebuild management servers one at a time. the downtime for SCOM would be very minimum if the management group has the capacity for agents to report to failover
management servers while the primary MS is getting rebuilt. You do not have to perform in place upgrade on the OS to keep SCOM.
Based on your need, I would like to suggest you add a Windows 2008 R2 as additional management server for your management group. And if possible, please also upgrade your SQL 2005 to SQL 2008.
Here is a thread for your reference:

Regards, Yan Li
Dear Yan, Since rebuild/config SCOM Server is very complicated so it's better that I can just upgraded OS into windows 2008 R2 without do anything else.

Re. Upgrading Macbook Aluminium 2008 advice

I'm looking to upgrade my Macbook Aluminium with the following specs:
13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Serial Number W8917RDN8QR
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
Ideally I want at least 500gb of memory space and 4gb ram. I'm looking to have the work done in an Apple reseller, Jigsaw, in Nottingham. They offer Hitachi Travelstar 7K750 750GB SATA II 7200RPM 2.5" Internal Hard Drive or Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB Internal Hard Drive 500 rpm. To me the specs seem much better for about £30 less with the Hitachi option, am I right to think this way or are there other reliability considerations etc.? I'd be keen to hear any advice regarding this upgrade and any detrimental affects it could have.
Thanks a lot for your help in advance,
Chris.

Personally if I were going to upgrade the hard drive, I'd go with a Western Digital Scorpio Black drive, as they come with a 5 year warranty vs 3 years (at least in the US they do). If the HItachi is cheaper, with more capacity and speed, I'd probably opt for that one.
Good plan to go to 4GB memory. A number of people have reported unsatisfactory performance at 2GB, which becomes satisfactory at 4GB. Normally recommend Crucial or Samsung memory, however, there are other brands that can work. If you start getting kernel panics, you'll know whatever memory they installed is a problem.

Tips for upgrading from LR2 to 3 while switching to a new computer?

My old mac was a G5 so I finally joined the modern world with a new iMac. On the new machine I've installed LR3, but I'm still running LR2 on the old machine. I want to bring all my pics/catalogs/dbs over (most likely by getting an external HD case for the current drive of the old machine) to the new machine and into LR2. Any tips on how to import everything? Anything to watch out for? I have thousands of images, some of it paid work, and I don't want to lose anything. Thanks.

Rule No. 1: DON'T IMPORT!!
This is what I would do:
On the old machine and LR2, make sure you have one (or just a few) top-level folders for all your images, and they are showing hierarchically in your folder panel. You might have to use "Add Parent Folder" a few times to achieve this.
With the old drive mounted on the new machine, double-click the LR2 catalog to start LR3
You will be asked if you want to convert your LR2 catalog into an LR3 catalog
Confirm this action, which will build a new LR3 catalog from your LR2 catalog, leaving the LR2 catalog as it is
If your folders/images show missing (which I'm not sure about on a Mac when the same volume is mounted as an external drive), perform a "Find missing folder" on all top-level folder(s) of your catalog, pointing to the folders on the mounted volume
If needed/wanted, you can then move the top-level image folders from within LR to a different volume
If you need/want to move the catalog as well, copy the "[catalogname].lrcat" file and the "[catalogname] Previews.lrdata" folder to a different drive when LR is closed, and restart LR by double clicking the copied .lrcat file
Delete the old catalog after you're sure the new one works to your satisfaction
You might also want to consider copying your presets, plugins and ACR defaults from the old machine to the new one.

HT201364 I want to upgrade from OS 10.6.8 to Mavericks on my MacBook Pro.

How do find I out how much "available space" I have on my MacBook Pro? The system requirements state that I need at least 2GB of memory and 8GB of available space. My MacBook Pro has 4GB of memory but "About this Mac" doesn't tell me how much "available space" I have.

Click Finder icon in the Dock.
When the Finder window opens, select Macintosh HD from the sidebar.
Press spacebar.
A window should open with the info.

Upgrading from an iMac running 10.4.11 to a Macbook Pro 10.8.5

I now find that none of my software will work (Final Cut Studio 2; CS2, et al). Is there a way of running a second OS on this machine?

DRAT! I wish I had known this before spending so much to get a much better machine... ostensibly to make the aforemnetioned programs run faster. Apple seems to have taken a page from Bill Gates' book.

Upgrade from R/3 4.7 (Kernel 640 non unicode)

Greetings
In our company we are planning a major upgrade from R/3 Enterprise 4.7 EXT200 (Kernel 640) over Windows 2008 to the latest release available, the thing is i am a little bit confused about what I should suggest since I havenu2019t done much u201Cadvancedu201D stuff besides system copy and ECC installations and some concepts are still unclear to me, like what netweaver means for example.
This is our scenario, we have a R/3 Enterprise 4.7 Ext2.00 (Kernel 640 non unicode) system with Oracle 10.2.0.4 over Windows 2008 SP2 x64 with Microsoft Failover Clustering (DB and App server per separate)
Since thereu2019s no java instance Iu2019m guessing I need to do an upgrade to ECC 6.0 Ehp5 ABAP Only and then do a Java Instance install right?
Whatu2019s the difference between ERP 6.0 EhP5 and Netweaver 7.0 EhP1? Can anyone clear some of this concepts to me?
I thank you in advance for all your kind replies
BRu2019

This is our scenario, we have a R/3 Enterprise 4.7 Ext2.00 (Kernel 640 non unicode) system with Oracle 10.2.0.4 over Windows 2008 SP2 x64 with Microsoft Failover Clustering (DB and App server per separate)
You need to Upgrade SAP R/3 4.7 to ECC (EHP5 or EHP4) whatever version you would like to go for and Oracle to 11G as oracle 10 has been in extended maintenance support
Since thereu2019s no java instance Iu2019m guessing I need to do an upgrade to ECC 6.0 Ehp5 ABAP Only and then do a Java Instance install right?
You don't have to install Java instance, until you have a requirement. If you have other Java system's you can use those systems for ADS and others

*SAP Netweaver is the technology platfrom for all SAP-Based Application, From SAP Netweaver 2004 onwards all the SAP present and future SAP Applications based on Netweaver.
Netweaver has different stacks as follows.
1. People Integration ( Ex: EP, SAP Mobile)
2. Information Integration ( Ex: BI , MDM)
3. Process Integration ( EX: XI )
4. Application Platform (Ex: ABAB & Java engine)
ECC6 is an application component, which will work on with the help of this Technology Platfrom -
formerly SAP Netweaver 2004s and now it is SAP Netweaver 7 which comes with Enhancement packages now*

Time Machine backup after upgrading from 10.6

Hi all,
I'm planning to upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.7 on a MacBook from 2007, and I have a question about my Time Machine set-up. I have this backing up on an external HD, and I am wondering if, when I've upgraded to 10.7, the Time Machine software will access the same set-up I had in 10.6.8? Will it just pick up from where 10.6.8 left off or will I have to start again?
Thanks,
David

Upgrading from 12.1.0 to 12.2 -- tips tricks??

I will be embarking on upgrading to 12.2 in the near term. I am on 12.1.0 for the repository and 12.1.1 for everything else. I have read through the migration considerations doc as well as the install guides. I have never done this before and am quite concerned that this be a flawless operation. What is the degree of difficulty? What is the degree of risk? Has anyone here gone through this migration? I would appreciate some tips and tricks from anyone that has performed this operation.
Oh, and we are on an AIX box. Version 5.
Thanks.
MSlayden

The degree of risk is quite low as 12.2 is just a minor version.
Just make sure to back up the repo .
Remove 12.1 and install 12.2
Upgrade the repo and you should be done .

Upgrading from Panther to Leopard tips?

Hi, I'd like to upgrade from Panther 10.3.9 to Leopard, ideally the newest version. I have an I-book G4, 1.33GHZ, currently 512 MB RAM and 30.98 GB available disk space.
First question, is 512 RAM enough, or would it be important to get additional RAM for best performance? I think the most I could upgrade to with this computer would be 1.25 GB RAM. Or would it be better to get Tiger instead? What's the worst that could happen if I run Leopard with only 512 MB RAM? Computer slowing down? I would mostly use it for web surfing and writing with Word 2004, so nothing complicated. Thing is, I wouldn't want to spend too much money on this old computer, and more RAM would be another 30$ at least.
Also, is there any upgrade version that might be cheaper to buy than the full retail version? If so, what is it called? If I get the full retail, are they all the same and should I basically be safe with any disk that has the large "X" on it (as opposed to the gray disks that might only work for specific computers)? Not all sellers offer the whole box, which is fine, I really just need the disk, but I want to make sure I'm getting the right thing.
Do you know of a good place to get Leopard for a good price? Is it generally safe to buy a used disk? I would only need it for this one install, don't care if the disk is dirty, as long as it works.
I still have the Leopard disk from my I-mac, is there any way to install Leopard from that disk, or is full retail the only option?

Leo uses more resoueces, especially Video card relaed...
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
    * A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
    * Built-in FireWire
    * At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
    * DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
    * At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)

Sorry, no, it's Intel & machine specific.
main thing for her would be access to internet (being able to watch basic videos online, mail, search, see all photos on a website.
In the end, not much differences as far as that, both are outdated... but I use both daily on the Internet.
Do you know if the old AOL software would work with either Tiger or Leopard? My mother still uses that and is used to it, although I might be able to get her to just check her e-mail on Safari in exchange for better internet access.
No idea, but AOL became irrevelant decades ago, Apples Mail App can be setup in 10.4/110.5 to access most anything, & theres better/safer Browsers in eithere OSSX...
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...

Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.
