Update/upgrade Esxi 3.5U3 to U5 - how?
I have an Esxi 3.5.0U3 (build 123629) server that I want to update to 3.5.0U5 to be able to run windows 7 hosts.
How do I do it?
I only have a free stand alone server running on Dell PowerEdge 1950 hardware, with Vmware infrastructure client, now upgraded to free vSphere.
What I have tried
- I got help to find a specific iso for this update (http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=MTXWX). When I boot the server with this CD I get Install and Repair options only, not Update.
- According to another KB (1006089) I have three other options for updating
-Vmvare Update manager. I don't understand what is needed for to use this tool. vCenter, whatever that is?
-Vmvare infrastructure update. Is installed together with the old vmvare infrastructure client. I can run it, but I get the error "Unable to reach Vmware update service". Someone said this tool is obsolete.
- Remote CLI vihostupdate utility. I have not understood what is needed for this tool. Is it free? How do I install and user it?
Also I read a lot about command line commands (CLI), even for upgrading. Can that be a solution? But shame to say I do not know how to connect to the server in command line... tried Putty but could not connect.
So your help is really needed here! How do I upgrade..?
Hi Thanh!
Are you using a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD?
You wrote "When I put in a 10.4 cd software installer..."
Tiger is on DVD. So you may be using a Model Specific version.
If not, Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Does your Mac meet the Tiger System Requirements?
Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
AppleRescue, sells a Tiger installation set on CD
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And Good Luck!

How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?
How do I update/upgrade from Logic Pro 8 to 9?
There is no update, you have to purchase Logic 9 from the App Store, it's $199, which is close to the price of an update.
Warning, if you do purchase Logic 9 from the App store it will download 2GB of additional patches/sounds/loops...etc. This is for first time buyers so their App Store Logic will have some basics to work with before trying to download the additional 20+GB of loop/instrument data. If you have a full installtion of Logic 8 it's possible the 2GB of data Logic initially downloads will mess with the instruments and sounds you've been using, past projects may not load properly. Just something to be aware of. -

I have CS 5 installed on my MacBook Air. I will be upgrading to Yosemite. It is suggested to update
my Adobe CS 5 first. How on earth do you upgrade Adobe CS 5 when you can't even get Adobe.com
to answer this question? thanks for any help.Yosemite is now up to 10.10.1 Don't forget that update.
First after the install, Photoshop may ask for a particular brand of Java.
If so, get it here: Java for OS X 2014-001
If you are lucky CS5 will run normally. If not, you will have to reinstall it and all the updates.
CS5 is a discontinued product, there are no further updates.
Photoshop CS5 Installer is here: Download CS5 products Help > Updates should take care of the rest.
Your serial number should under the account you registered it under. Click the triangle next to Photoshop CS5 to reveal it.

Firefox won't open after update/upgrade--how do I correct this?WinXP SP3
I got a message saying I should update/upgrade. I did AFTER SETTING RESTORE POINT. After this Firefox will not open (I have tried several ways). I went to restore point and restored. Still will not open. If I can't get it working I will look for another browser. I am now using IE and it is too slow. Thanks for help.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My Ipad mini does not see my printer. my wife's ipad2 does. We both use IOS8 and upgraded at the same time. How can I remedy this?
OK great info!
I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
By "Plugable": USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance. BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
One person commented:
This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
Thanks for any additional comments.
Best regards,

my ipod wont let me buy any appps because it says i have an invalid security code for my moms credit card but its the right one. and it also says i owe money for upgrading an app does anyone know how to remove my moms credit card cause i cant figure itout
To change asccount information see:
Changing Account Information
For the code issue this may help.
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade? -

I want to turn off auto updating on my Mac 10.4.11 How do I do this?
When firefox tries to upgrade (without asking) it tends to upset my Mac's usual functioning.You can go into Edit, then Preferences, then Advanced, then update, and set your update settings there.

Can your iPad be upgraded to iOS 7? If so, what are you doing that isn't working?
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

[SOLVED] Need some help with binaries move update/upgrade
I'm a bit stumped by the upgrade instructions consequent on the decision to move things into /usr/bin and would like to ask some advice. First, I do get output from the command
pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -
. The short list of files is
grub 0.97-21
gen-init-cpio 2.6.36-1
grub 0.97-21
lilo 23.2-3
gnome-cups-manager 0.33-6
lilo 23.2-3
tcp_wrappers 7.6-12
The first problem I have is how to "fix," as the directions stipulate, this situation. Does "fix" here mean manually moving some binaries to /usr/bin? Removing those packages (none of which I currently use) via pacman?
I'm pretty sure I don't have any packages installed from non-official repos on this system, so I'm skipping the step that describes what to do in that case. The third command, i.e.,
find /bin /sbin /usr/sbin -exec pacman -Qo -- {} + >/dev/null
returns no results, so I should be ok there.
Input will be appreciated.
Last edited by jamtat (2013-06-06 01:40:13)I've run into a hang-up. It's true I wasn't running systemd on the laptop, so I took the steps outlined on the wiki to make the system do that. Then I removed the packages from the laptop that might interfere with the upgrade and ran
pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash
per instructions. That resulted in a whole lot of updates/upgrades to the system. But then, when I went to run
pacman -S bash
, I got a failure: the system lost its wifi connection (to date managed by wicd) and I cannot get it to connect now. Even worse, it won't even go online through the wired NIC: it gets and IP, but no network traffic is traveling to or from the laptop. I don't think it will be a good idea to reboot the system without first upgrading bash, will it (the old bash won't know about the location of key binaries, correct?)? Suggestions about what to try next?
