UPDATE TO MY ORIGINAL POST-"Should I Or Shouldn't I Upgrade To Snow?"

HI ALL,
I posted this update to my original post as a separate post so Others would see it-if they had the same concerns that I did about upgrading to Snow.
I took the plunge and upgraded to snow-I HAVE HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!! Yea!
The installation went very smoothly-the update did as well.
My MacBook is still JUST AS FAST as it was prior-My Blue Tooth still works fine-My iLife 09 and other non-apple apps work fine-my printer works fine too-and no font problems!
I do have to say that I was very careful to make sure I did all of the typical installation preps first-
Did a couple of sudo-cleaning commands
Repaired Permissions-before & after installation
Had nothing connected to my MacBook during installation or update
Also my HD was new and had a fresh copy of Leopard 5 (with all updates included)
on it-so there were only a couple of NON-Apple apps on it at the time of snow installation-don't know if that helped or not or I just lucked out.
I am just thrilled-and lovin it!
If anyone has the same concerns that I did-I would say -BACKUP & GO FOR IT!
You can always go back to Leopard 5 if it doesn't work for you.
Thanks to all that posted
-Retha

Thanks for the report. Bootable backup is always advised.

  • Should I Or Shouldn't I Upgrade To Snow?

    Hi,
    I have been running Leopard from the onset & love it.
    But I have to say that I am a little afraid to go to Snow
    as I have seen so many problems online about it.
    My usual procedure is to wait until most of the glitches have bee worked out
    and then upgrade. Can anyone tell me if Snow offers the "average person"
    any significant improvements or is it mainly for "techies"?
    Thanks, Retha

    Sure that's true Kevin. However many people are having problems and are in a real practical dilemma. They have a system that is malfunctioning. Some are businessmen whose livelihood is threatened. Wether any particular machine is badly set up or not is beside the point. If one is worried don't do it, not now at least.
    I appreciate that you are merely reporting a fact. It is good that you do so. Some, not you, are implying that folks systems must be up the creek if they have problems and they ought not to tarnish the shining image by doubting. Thing is the OS should work reasonably well with a range of systems. No use writing an OS that only works with S Jobs gold plated Mac.Too many are meeting issues.Certainly too many for the bold press on regardless line.
    No problem if you have a backup! True again but it is a clart to restore and a scheme where one has to renew the set up after a smell of new code is no use. I realise I am exagerating here. I am bold and installed SL a few days only after general release. Mine is just a 'hobby' Mac. My business does not depend on it. Neither am I Mrs Cannybody (a Geordie expression for the little old lady) who might go back to pen and paper after a fright.
    Another poster, 'Tom in London' put it right I believe. Wish I could find it to quote. It is close to here. Tom was commenting when someone asked about great new jazzy features. Tom told the person he wouldn't SEE any. Said the OS was a preparation, a clearing out, for more radical changes in the future. Tom said "...some time you will have to change ...". I say you don't need do it now just to add to Apple's early adoption figures and certainly don't push the timid into it. Again Kevin you are not doing that.

  • 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).

  • Afraid to update to 10.4.3-should I or shouldn't I?

    I don't remember the last time I read so many scary stories of a Mac OS X update going wrong as for this one. I generally upgrade as soon as updates are available, but this time I'm not so sure. How can I tell if I will have the same problems other people are having? Any advice?
    Thanks.

    Disconnekt, keep in mind that this discussion board is where people come to find answers for questions they are having trouble with. So the number of people "having problems" with the 10.4.3 update should be taken with a grain of salt. This is not to say that some people aren't having trouble, but only the people who are having trouble are posting here if you see what I mean.
    For what it is worth I and many, many other Mac users have had no trouble with the most recent update.
    If you make sure you follow some prudent steps before you upgrade you should avoid problems.
    1. Backup, backup backup. Always have a current backup of your data before you install any major OS upgrade.
    2. Don't use the Update System Prefs control panel. Download and install the combo updater for 10.4.3.
    3. Don't have any other applications running when you apply the update.
    4. Keep your PowerBook plugged into power and make sure she does not go to sleep while applying the update.
    5. (Bonus Tip) Boot from your system restore disc and run both Repair Permissions and Verify your disc. If the Verify process finds any errors repair the disc before applying the latest update.

  • Should I or shouldn't I - Upgrade to newer versions of iTunes?

    I've been unable to upgrade to some of the newer updates to iTunes (& iPod) due to error messages. I believe the last version I have is 6.0 (late last year's). The question I have is..If I can't upgrade to the newer versions am I missing something vitally important to this program. I can continue to run the version I have without any problems...or do I have to update?

    Your not missing anything that "Major" you have 6.0 and the latest version is 6.0.4.2 I always recommend updating to stay current with any minor updates they have installed or minor features to better the product. but far as missing anything very very important, no you are not missing anything yet. when we see version 6.1 or maybe 7.0, then yeah you would be missing something important

  • Should I take the plunge and upgrade to Snow Leopard?

    I have a MacBook Pro with 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4GB memory.
    I have just upgraded my printer after the last one died, so now have no real reason stopping me to upgrade to Snow Leopard. The question is though, is there any real good reason to do so?
    With 4GB of RAM I'm probably not going to get any benefit from the 64bit architecture, so I'm wondering whether I'm better off just waiting until the release of OS X 10.7?
    Any thoughts?

    My vote, Upgrade. It is great. Among many other things, the one thing that is noticeable and also impressive is the speed at which everything happens in SL. Way quicker than previous OSs. Also, some apps are upgraded like preview, image capture etc.
    You might want to look at the reviews from last year.

  • My original post, locked by this forum. Display problem related

    Hi G5 Gurus,
    The display problem first, we all know when screen savers display, a click on the mouse will bring you back to the active desktop, this was how it worked., but now, sometimes a click cause the G5 to sleep!
    As for the sleep, I dare not to put it to sleep these days, because I am afriad it may cause a fire by over heating. Sometmes, actually four times in the past few months, my G5 could wake up by itself, followed by a extrem high speed running of the cooling fan, it sounded like a hair dryer running in the same room. Sometimes the sreen could light up, just like real wake up, sometimes, it was black. No clicks the mouse or keyboeard could bring it back to normal, I had to press and hold the power button to turn it off.
    This crazy problem happened for the first time last summer, a dead hard disk was the cost. Apple replaced it, but failed to detect the cooling or power or display problem. I was given one month extended free service, but right after its end, the problem was back and happened even more often.
    Please let me know if any of you had the same problem and please advise what to do.
    100s Gs of thanks.

    I have the EXACT same problem. In fact, I could not have described it better myself. What gives? I brought it in to the "genius" bar and they repolaced the power supply free of charge but the problem is still there. I noticed they ordered a new logic board but did not end up replacing it after all. Did you have yours replaced and did it work? Is this a known issue?

    Hi La teller,
    Thank you for your reply. The 'genius' here in London only replace the dead hard disk, which I belive was a victim of this problem. I was told they couldn't find anything wrong with the power supply or the cooling system.
    Now at lest I know I am not the only bad luck guy. Let's wait and see if others are having the same problem. I am not sure if this is a known issue to Apple, even if it is, it may take years before they can offer a recall or free repaire. I noticed that some G5s have already been suffering from power problems and a free repaire was offered.
    Thank you again and hope Apple can take our concerns into their consideration soon.

    Hello,
    I'm also having this problem (fan running, won't come out of sleep), just spoke with an apple care rep. He confirmed my suspition that it was software, not hardware as I have just had the logic board and power supply replaced.
    His suggestions were to:
    1. Run disk repair from the startup CD
    try running OS X from a firewire drive and see if the same behavior happens or
    perform and archive and install.
    When the fan starts to run like that it means the OS is not communicating with the hardware properly. The OS could be somewhat corrupt if you were having hardware issues beforehand, hence the need for a reinstall. I will be performing an archive and install after the disk repair, I'll let you know if it fixes the problem!

    Hi Stopha6,
    Thank you for your message. I never imagined it could be a software issue, cos it looked so hardware.
    Please keep me updated with your progress.
    By the way, as I said in my old posts, a hard disk went dead when this happened for the very first time, how do you read this?
    Thank you.

    Hi Stopha6,
    After reading your reply again, I realized that the system had already been reinstalled. As I said when it happened for the first time, the hard disk died with it, which was replaced, of course with a new OS X, but the same problem is still happening. May this suggest that it is not just a software problem? Thank you. Songyan

    The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on. The screen-saver and sleep problem you describe sounds like something that may just happen on accident. But this sounds mostly like a software problem. Try making sure to always quit all non-apple products and see if anything changes.

    Thank you, Ag-Nate. I will try as you adivised but I con't think the fans were activeted my intensive CPU using. In most of the cases, the problems happened when the Mac was sleeping, when the minimum CPU were being used.

    "The Fans going at full is only because you have an application that is using a lot of cpu power and therefore causing the imac to heat up so it turns the fans on."
    That's only partly right. A hard-working process will make the fans run at high speed, of course.
    But, the OS is in touch with the firmware of the iMac, telling it how to run the fans, based upon information the OS X kernel is getting about the state of the hardware.
    If the firmware loses touch with the OS for some reason, and is not getting instructions on how to run the fan, it will default to running them at full blast, to be on the safe side (and this "full blast" fan mode is way louder than anything you'll generally experience during normal usage, I know from experience).
    So it may not be so simple as a hard-working cpu process kicking the fans on.

    Hi I have a 20" G5 imac it's about 18 months old and I am having the same problem, It freezes and the fan runs really loud. It's nothing to do with software as my I.T. guy has done a complete re-install. All of our admin people have imacs of differring ages and the flat panels are all OK but every one of the G5s has had a booting problem. Some fell into the recall for replacement logic boards but the one I have at home is the newest and doesn't. I'm waiting for my apple reseller to get back to me, but it looks like it's the logic board and as none of the serial numbers fall into the recall, I'm expecting a big bill. I'm really disappointed as I've been a professional apple user for over 15 years and have grown to expect a certain amount of honesty and integrity from them. Looking at all of the discussion boards and the amount of people complaining of the same problem the logic boards are defective and apple should be replacing these free of charge.

    Kensall,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    As in the other thread I wrote:
    Being from England, you may find the repair program under these pages:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/repairextensionprogram/
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/
    Check both of them as they refer to different models.
    If neither of yours is under the program, please start a new topic thread so someone can help you.

    First off, you'll get a wider audience who may be able to solve your problem. Secondly, responses to you won't confuse the original poster with solutions that don't apply to them. And thirdly, you'll know for certain whether or not a response applies to you.

    I am having a very similar problem. My G5 imac has already had the logic board replaced from the leaking capacitor problem. 8 mos. later the power supply was replaced under the second recall program when it failed to start up.
    It had been working now for almost a year, when about 3 mos. ago I started to experience the sudden dimming effect - if the display was untouched the screen would dim about 30% similar to a laptop in energy save mode. I checked and none of these types of options were set in the pref panes. At the same time I would have the iMac go to sleep after a while from non-use, and then when I tried to wake it it would stir for a few seconds and then go right back to sleep. It took 2-3 attempts to wake it up.
    Then last week, as I tried to wake it, it just shut down instead completely. I had to hold the power button down to recycle it to get it to come back to life (3 times).
    Today was it - I found what I thought was a sleeping iMac, but it will not power up at all. I opened the back cover and the power supply is working, but I cannot get the board to energize, I reset the PMU, but the #2 LED won't even blink. It is completely dead.
    Basically every time I used this computer I held my breath that it would not work. After 2 recalls I still only get 9 mos. out of it? Apple is really starting to show it is like the "big" computer makers, the quality is going right down the tubes.

  • Firmware update on MBP  (Original)?

    I read about fw updates for MacBooks (pro), but they all concern unibody's macbooks (pro).
    Is there a FW update for the original mbp's (<early 2008)?
    If yes where and how?
    peterwillem

    Firmware update: none.
    Means your model computer does not need one or at this time none is necessary as it should already be updated. If it did needed an update, it would show up in Software Update.
    To double check to see if your firmware is up to date, go into System Profiler/Hardware/ SMC Version (system)
    Post your firmware information. Mine is 1.16f11
    You can always go to Apple's Download site & obtain firmware update downloads.

    It's curious that the WHERE clause includes "PROJECT_STATUS='6'", but there is no pivoted column for project_status='6', like there is for '1' through '5'. That's not necessarily a mistake, and it wouldn't raise an error in any case.
    Instead of
    where (PROJECT_STATUS='1' or PROJECT_STATUS='2' or PROJECT_STATUS='3' or PROJECT_STATUS='4' or PROJECT_STATUS='5' or PROJECT_STATUS='6')you could say
    where PROJECT_STATUS  IN ('1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6')but that probably has nothing to do with your current problem.

    I'm getting a "Failed to parse SQL query!" error when I try to run validation.Is that an Apex error message? Sorry, I don't know anything about Apex.
    If you can't get a more specific error message from Apex, then try debugging this statement in SQL*Plus. When you get it fixed, then you can copy it back into Apex.
    If this is a SQL problem, then you should be able to re-create the problem in pure SQL.
    If you can't re-create the problem in pure SQL, then it's probably an Apex problem, and belongs in the Apex forum, not here.
    I don't see anything obviously wrong with your code, but I can't tell if, for example, you spelled a column name wrong, or if something has the wrong data type
    Is this enough info for some assistance? Any help would really be appreciated.It wiould be better if you posted a completE script that people could run to re-create the problem, and to test their ideas.
    Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved.
    Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
    Always say which version of Oracle (and any other software, such as Apex) you're using.

  • Trace Original Posting-Post Internal Settlement

    Scenario:
    I have my WBS elements getting settled (internal settlement) to cost centres during the month end and settlement happens by original cost element.
    Requirement:
    From any standard cost centre report is there any means to tracing back the original transactions on WBS element.
    As the settled costs from WBS to Cost Centre contains a single line i.e., settled cost and the original postings information is lost (ex., PO number etc.,) and to get this I need to have two reports open i.e., 1st a cost centre report and then WBS line item report.
    Can you experts help in overcoming this either by suggesting a report or change the process?
    Regards
    Sreenivas

    Suggested report is better but the RRI takes me to actual line item posting on the cost centre- which is a settlement transaction.
    I need some means to get to the original posting that's gone onto the WBS elements. ex., If PO has been GR'rd against a WBS element and WBS has settled to cost centre, from the report I should get to the GR material document.

    I ran in trial mode to see what it was capable of and it did allow me to take a partition of 'free space' and format it as HFS+ without affecting my other, data filled test partition. Contrary to what I previously thought (and unlike the iPartition demo), it wrote the changes to the drive.
    The new partition is HFS+ only. To add journaling, use the Disk Utility from Apple.

    There's something missing in your explanation. If you're getting the "original file..." message, that would indicate that you may have had all your music files on your laptop drive at one point and them moved some of them to the external drive without using the proper procedure.
    If you don't have a lot of playlists, star ratings, and that sort of information that you're trying to preserve, then Mike's suggestion is an easy way out. If you do have a lot of that kind of information, then you may need to see if you can restore your setup to its former condition, when it was all working, and then use proper procedures to move files to the external drive or whatever it was that you were trying to do.

  • What G/L Accounts are Updated Accordingly when the Posting Date is Changed?

    We are on SAP 2007 PL15, and our new fiscal year started 1 July 2008. Beginning on 1 July, whenever we change the posting date on a marketing document to a date in June, the following message appears:
    Newly Entered Posting Date Relates to Another Posting Period. Do you want to update G/L accounts accordingly? [Yes]  [No]
    Does anyone know what G/L accounts would be "updated accordingly" based on Posting Date? We did not get any such message last year when we were on SAP 2005.
    Thank you,
    Mike

    I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

    Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.
