TS2943 Is it possible to update my system from 10.5.8 to 10.8 on my (2007?) Macbook?

Is it possible to update my system from 10.5.8 to 10.8 on my (2007?) Macbook? The Mountain Lion update page on the apple store says you must have 10.6 to update, but can I update to 10.6, then mountain lion?

Not sure what your question has to do with an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, which this area supports.
You might get a faster and more informed answer if you post in the correct MacBook support area.

The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion.
The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion.
The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available at this time from Apple for $19.99. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 Lion is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If you wait to long and they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already over $100 on Amazon.

Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

Is it possible to update internal table from database table

Hello All:
I know how to update database table from internal table in one shot (batch) but is the reverse possible? Can I update some fields in an internal table from a database table in one shot (without looping) because my internal table is huge? Could you please provide me any ideas how to acheive something like this? Thanks in advance and answers will be rewarded.
thanks.
Mithun

Hello my friend,
You can do it MAYBE , i think you can reverse the update doing a ROLLBACK, but only after you update....not after the program finishes..
To update some fields at once use:
UPDATE DBTABLE FROM TABLE IT_TABLE
Hope this helps!!

Is it possible to Update Powerpoint slides from the Sharepoint slide-library using Macros when its in read-only mode?

As Wendy Li informed that PPT ask you to update from slide library automatically. But this happens only if the slides are saved in your system(in read write mode). Is it possible to run the updates automatically on Read-only slides as well.
Thanks.
Old:
Currently I'm executing the task manualy by using the Check for updates option. But I'm willing to develop a macro code which can be executed when the slide is open and automatically replaces the slides with the latest one from the Slide-Library. Any links
to pre-existing code will be helpful. Thanks.

Hi SamGoe,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the PoerPoint slide from SharePoint 2010 slide library automatically.
It seems to be not necessary to use Macros. SharePoint provides an OOB way to notify you to check for update to the slide library slides when you open the presentation. PowerPoint does this because you selected the option
Tell me when this slide changes when you copied the slides from the library.
More information, please refer to the link below:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/powerpoint-help/sharepoint-slide-libraries-ii-use-slides-in-the-library-RZ010254089.aspx?section=6
I hope this helps.

Scripts I use to update my system from ABS

Banged some scripts together to update from ABS and sharing them cause I like them - they work together or separate.
gather abs directories into ~/abs directory:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my @upgradelist;
system ("sudo pacman -Sy");
system ("sudo abs");
open FH, "pacman -Qqu |";
while (<FH>){
chomp $_;
if (-d "/var/abs/core/$_") {system ("cp -R /var/abs/core/$_/ /home/poiuyt/abs/ ");}
if (-d "/var/abs/community/$_") {system ("cp -R /var/abs/community/$_/ /home/poiuyt/abs/ ");}
if (-d "/var/abs/extra/$_") {system ("cp -R /var/abs/extra/$_/ /home/poiuyt/abs/ ");}
DL and make the ABS packages from the ~/abs directory:
GNU nano 2.2.6 File: makepackages.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
$absdir = $ENV{"HOME"}."/abs";
opendir (DIR, $absdir);
my @directory= readdir(DIR);
my $workingdir;
foreach (@directory){
# if ($file =~ m/^\./){
$workingdir = $absdir."/$_";
print "calling makepkg on $workingdir\n";
chdir ("$workingdir") or die "can't change directories";
system ("makepkg");
install packages in abs directory:
GNU nano 2.2.6 File: install.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
$absdir = $ENV{"HOME"}."/abs";
opendir (DIR, $absdir);
my @directory= readdir(DIR);
my $workingdir;
foreach (@directory){
# if ($file =~ m/^\./){
$workingdir = $absdir."/$_";
print "calling pacman on $workingdir\n";
chdir ("$workingdir") or die "can't change directories";
system ("sudo pacman -U *.pkg.tar.xz");
Feel free to comment or improve as I willingly admit I am a crappy coder.
EDIT : My bad code was corrected - sorry was working on it today
Last edited by poiuyt23 (2013-12-17 05:35:21)

Don't use pacman -Sy, use checkupdates
Don't run abs as root, use $ABSROOT, also you cam tell abs just what packages to download. As a sidenote, abs is often out of date, the gir repo is prefered.
And there already are several existing tools to build/update from abs, why not use one of those?

Possible to update Numbers document from PHP database?

Hello!
I've been hoping to figure out a way to do this: I have an online php database attached to a webstore that contains product inventory. I have an offline Numbers spreadsheet that we use for keeping track of our inventory.
Periodically I have to manually update the Numbers document with the current inventory from our website (as stored in the PHP database).
Is there a way to have the Numbers document "automatically" update the values of cells based on the contents of the PHP database?
Ideally (and I know this is probably not possible) I'd like the Numbers document to be the "front end" for controlling the values in the PHP database -- so I can view current inventory in the Numbers document, and can update to the PHP database FROM my Numbers document if I decide to manually change some inventory numbers.
Theoretically it's simple: attaching a specific cell in the Numbers sheet to a specific value in the PHP database... but I have no idea if there's an actual way to make this connection...!
Or maybe I'm just using the wrong software?
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Update iPhone system in an Apple store?

This may be a stupid question and/or have been asked before, but I could not find such a thread.
As has just been announced, the new iOS 4 will be available on the 21st of June. Unfortunately, I will start my holiday on the 20th and therefore away from my trusty MBP. I will be in Las Vegas on the 21st though, and I know where I can find the Apple store there. It seems to be possible to update the system from somebody else's computer, as long as I avoid synching anything.
My question: Does anybody know if the nice people in the Apple store will allow complete strangers to walk in and grab an iPhone OS update? (I would ask nicely, of course.)

Probably, but if something goes wrong with the update which requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes, you won't have any of your existing iTunes content including 3rd party apps available.
I suggest waiting to install the update until your computer is available and if not, just be aware of the potential consequences in the event there is a problem.

Hi I bought a macbook in 2007/2008 and am wondering if it is possible to update the operating system? Here are my system details: Hardware Overview:    Model Name:     MacBook   Model Identifier:     MacBook4,1   Processor Name:     Intel Core 2 Duo   Pro

Hi, I bought a Macbook in 2007/2008 and am wondering if it is possible to update my system so I can get the new version of iTunes?
Here are my current system details: Mac OsX Version 10.5.8
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:    MacBook
Model Identifier:    MacBook4,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    3 MB
Memory:    2 GB
Bus Speed:    800 MHz
Boot ROM Version:    MB41.00C1.B00
SMC Version (system):    1.31f1

The model 4,1 can run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
System Requirements for 10.6:
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.
You can upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.5 should run under10.6. See this list for third party programs compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. Or go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion and purchase it there. The price is $19.99.

Update a system form with XML: empty screen when this is a target document.

Hi,
It is possible to update a system form with an xml file.
In the UI_Application.LoadBatchActions(xmlDoc). In the xmldocuemnt I update a system form by adding controls on it. This all works fine, except one (big) problem.
Assume that I Alter the 'Good Receipt PO'.
This document can be the target document of a Purchase order document. When you open a PO and click the icon on the toolbar for going to the target document, you see the target document filled in, in OK (view) mode.
When you alter the 'Goods Receipt PO' form with XML you get an empty goods receipt form, in Add mode.
Is this a known problem, how can I solve it?
Thanks in advance
Eddy

Help! I am using OS X 10.5.8 How do I update my system?

sorry for the ignorance. I wanted to update my system from the 10.5.8 to the most recent OS Mountain Lion and could not figure out how to do it. I had to find the MAC APPS STORE first since it is NOT in my dock. So I downloaded the Mac OS X 10.6.6 update combo, and the error message says "This update version requires 10.6! OK, i need a little help getting from 10.5.8 to 10.6. Any words of wisdom?
To complicate things, I bought this computer in the states but I am currently living in Guatemala. Not really a Apple Store around the corner. Not to mention it is a big 27" imac desktop.
Thanks

You will have to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD. See:
Apple confirmed the removal of the software yesterday afternoon, and said that customers can still purchase a copy from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
Alternatively, there are third-party sources:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
You can then use the 10.6.6 update you downloaded. Then you can sign into the App Store using your Apple ID to purchase and download Mountain Lion. Note that your computer must meet the system requirements:
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.
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)

Just updated my system now logic is crashing on launch!!

Ok here's what I did.....
Updated my system from 10.4.8 to 10.4.11 on my Mac Pro.... I'm running Logic 7.2.3
Now logic won't start up. It goes thru the usual "reading path references" and "reading project manager database from disk" procedure then halfway thru "updating tree" logic "unexpectedly quits".
I have repaired disk permissions and tried loading several different songs including my template without any plugins. It crashes at the same point every time.
I did clone my drive before updating but everyone seems to go on about how logic runs so smoothly on 10.4.11 It would be good to get this happening!
Any ideas anyone??? Thanks in advance

Problem solved ..... looks like the 1TB harddrive i had recently installed was causing the problem.

Possible to "Update" the SDK rather than download entire 1+ GB file?

Is it possible to "Update" the SDK from an older one rather than download the entire SDK again?
Thanks

Short answer: no.
You would probably have to replace the individual files in the way that you want.
Just leave the download on overnight if your connection is that slow.
