The Current version of Lion is 10.7.5
The next Step is Mountain Lion which is a Paid Upgrade.
Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.

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. -
Semi-automatic update/upgrade; is Arch wrong distro for these boxen?
I wanted to post here a semi-automatic update/upgrade solution I--with a lot of help from someone more knowledgeable--came up with in case it might be of benefit to anyone else. It's been working pretty well for me over the course of the last couple of weeks and should aid me in becoming a better Archer. I also want to ask in this thread for confirmation on whether installing Arch on a couple of machines I have that see fairly intermittent use is inadvisable: if so, I'll look into installing some other distro. First the semi-automatic update solution.
To begin with, what do I mean by "semi-automatic?" Mainly I mean something that's only partially automatic. See, I've come to understand that automating updates/upgrades is a bad idea©™. And I think I understand why. Still, I apparently lack the discipline to be a good Archer, upgrading/updating frequently so as to conform with the philosophy. So I thought I should use my computer to help me be more disciplined: that's partly what they're for, after all, isn't it?
I decided I might make the computer help me be more disciplined, first of all, by making it issue reminders at frequent, regular intervals, that it is time to update/upgrade. Of course cron came immediatelty to mind as part of the solution, though I ended up using the remind program instead. In any case, it seemed like a solution that, not only would remind me at regular, frequent intervals would be desireable, but one that would at the same time initiate the process, would be even better. I thought it must be possible to, for example, cause a terminal to open with a message and corresponding menu that would say something like "System update/upgrade needed: proceed now? 1. Yes 2. No"
This latter would be one of the elements that makes the solution semi-automatic (as opposed to automatic). Answering 2. in that terminal would cause the terminal to simply exit. Answering 1., on the other hand, runs the command sudo pacman -Syu. There is a further level of semi-automation at this stage: you are then prompted to enter the root password before pacman -Syu will run. So, no updating/upgrading happens without input at these two stages.
I should mention as I wrap up this description of my solution that there is yet another important element to it that, while independent of it, is nonetheless related: I subscribed some weeks ago to the Arch news RSS feed. I check that daily, so an even further level of semi-automation is in play here.
This seems to me like it will be a very good solution to bringing my behavior into better conformity with the Arch philosophy. It's worked well so far. That said, I'm certainly open to criticisms. I'm also very open to any improvements that might be suggested. Without further ado, here is the script I run every other day from the remind daemon:
#!/bin/bash
PS3='Begin full system upgrade? '
options=("Yes" "No")
select opt in "${options[@]}"
do
case $opt in
"Yes")
echo "Beginning full system upgrade..."
sudo pacman -Syu
exit
"No")
exit
echo "Please choose the corresponding number"
esac
done
Now, to my question about my other machines as possible Arch install targets. The above applies to the desktop machine in my apt. which is almost always powered on and connected to the 'net: what follows applies to two different machines.
One is a laptop that I use primarily when I travel. It often sits powered off for 1-2 months between uses. The other is an alternate desktop machine in my apt. that is also infrequently used: essentially, when both the wife and I want to work on-line separately--which is not all that frequently (she prefers knitting to computing during her time at home)--it gets fired up. Again, it often sits for 1-2 months without being used.
Now, it seems to me these machines are poor targets for an Arch install because they are far more frequently off-line than on-line, powered down than powered up. Thus they are very unlikely to be updated/upgraded on any kind of regular basis, and certainly never regularly and frequently, as seems to be recommended for Arch machines.
Am I correct in assuming I should be looking for some other distro to install on these infrequently-used machines?
Thanks,
James

It doesn't ignore updates, by the way. It does two things. First, it checks the news and tells you about important news items as soon as you run e.g. pacmatic -Syu. Then it runs the upgrade in the normal way. For example, a news item today concerned lvm2, dev-mapper and linux being upgraded together. It gave me the news item. Then it did the usual paman upgrade routine and upgraded everything, including those packages. Second, every time you run it, it reminds you of any *.pacnew files you haven't dealt with and asks if you want to deal with them now. At least, it asks about most. It never mentions kdmrc.pacnew for some reason.
It's just a wrapper for pacman. From the script:
Pacmatic is a pacman wrapper that takes care of menial but critial tasks.
These include
Checking the archlinux.org news
Summarizing the arch-general mailing list
Reminding if it has been a while since the last sync
Reporting pacnew files
Editing pacnew files
Personally, I've installed an alternative distro on machines which I'm not sure I will be using very regularly. (Also, I like having distinct distros just in case something goes wrong in one case - even if it is a bit of a faff sometimes.)

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.

[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?

Logic Express 7.0.1 Update/Upgrade
Hello,
I have Logic Express version 7.0.1 and never did get the "paid" upgrade to Logic Express version 7.1 (or was it version 7.2?). I'm wondering what the latest version of Logic Express 7 is and how I would go about getting the update/upgrade to 7.1 (or 7.2)?
I use GarageBand most of the time and don't use Logic Express a lot so I don't really want to fork out the cash to move to version 8 but it would be nice to see it updated somehow. Logic Express 7.0.1 seems to work fine on 10.5.6 for me, by the way.
I just can't seem to find any info on Apple's website about the version 7.1 (or 7.2) update/upgrade.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks so much,
GerardI don't see any problem with trying LE7 in a Leopard environment. Usually newer OS have backwards compatibility with older software. However, just in case, have all your valuable data backed up before upgrading. With all bases covered you can easily revert to the old setup if something goes wrong under Leopard. The only thing you can lose is time spent to re-install Tiger and LE7.

I'm a computer novice. My older iMac is no longer able properly to use many current websites and I get messages saying update to safari of firefox; but to get current versions of safari or firefox I need something beyond Mac OS X v 10.1.5, my current configuration. I've searched the Mac website, but it presuppose a starting point of at least version 2.0. How do I get where I can begin to go farther? Thanks in advance for any help!
Welcome To Discussions schuler!
Here is a recap, of some of the info, in the previously posted replies, and also additional info.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger 10.4.x, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, will be the most up to date OS, when it is released, on 10/26/07.
But, if you know what to look for, the Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Caveat Emptor! Examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!

Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
Also check to see if your Mac model, is listed in this KB Article OS X Must Be Installed On First -8GB Partition.
Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Jaguar System Requirements
-Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
-128MB of physical RAM
-Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
-QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
-DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
Review these Apple documents for Panther System Requirements
Additional Panther System Requirements.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.
Info here Installing Tiger Without A DVD Drive,
and here Installing Tiger Using Firewire Target Disk Mode.
The Tiger Media Exchange Program, referred to in that article, is no longer available.

About Updating & Upgrading My Software?
When I Update or Upgrade The Software on My 24inch iMac Computer is it using up The iMac Computer LifeSpam Quicker? cause when I Have an Update or an Upgrade in The Software Versions I Do The Updates & Upgrades then after that I Rest My iMac Computer cause I don't want it to Drain it's Life Spam out, thats if thats how it works? i'm New to Apple Computers, I only been using them since July of 2009. I Don't know how Apple Works about so I just had to Ask & get info on these things?
Maybe it's better to look at your computer as if it were a car. For example, when you update your iMac's software, it's kind of like changing your car's oil and other fluids, putting air in the tires, replacing the wiper blades and so on. These tasks increase an automobile's lifespan and usefulness, and after they're done, you can go out and drive it immediately with confidence that your car will be running better than it was before. A computer is more or less the same: updating the software increases efficiency by fixing bugs and improving security.
It's certainly true that computer components can fail over time, either through extended use or because of factory defects; but software doesn't generally cause hardware failures, and hardware failures don't necessarily affect software or data.
I think you should drive your iMac as hard as you want, keep your data backed up so that you won't lose it if the computer breaks, and be confident that your machine has many years of life in it.
Good luck! -
Logic Express 7 Update/Upgrade Question
Hello,
I posted this once before but I'll try again...
I have Logic Express version 7.0.1 and never did get the "paid" upgrade to Logic Express version 7.1 (or was it version 7.2?). I'm wondering what the latest version of Logic Express 7 is and how I would go about getting the update/upgrade to 7.1 (or 7.2)?

Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks so much,
GerardIt was 7.2.3 (961.9). I still use it along side 8.0.2 (1502.22)…
Because the files in both LE7 & LE8 get huge when they are edited, but unlike in LE7, there is no way to bring the file back to it's proper size. A 350 KB song in LE8 can get to be many MBs, so I'm forced to build the song in LE7 where I can save the final version twice, which brings the file back to it's proper size. I can then open it in LE8 and edit only the few parameters that I've learned don't increase the file's size. The amount of extra work this made transferring 700+ files from Cubase is beyond belief. I needed to get software to preserve LE8 file creation dates for the many files I had to make small changes to in LE7 and import a 'new' file into LE8. And after every 5 times I open LE7, I'm asked to register the application. I had to click that box off the screen over 2500 times. -
After check for updates upgrade from 1.5.0 to 1.5.1 all connections are los
I executed a "check for updates" upgrade from 150 to 151 and all my connections are not displaying in the connection pane. I had nearly 100 connections defined - how do I get these back? There seems to be several issues related to this but nothing is clearly described as to exactly how to get these back.
I take you didn't migrate your settings on first start after the upgrade; so logically you get a clean environment.
Now I guess the easiest fix would be to copy the [user profile]\sqldeveloper\system1.5.0.53.38\o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.22.49.35\connections.xml to [user profile]\sqldeveloper\system1.5.1.54.40\o.jdeveloper.db.connection.11.1.1.0.22.49.42.

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.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

Can I update/upgrade my ipad model # MB292C? I find that many of the apps, such as games I have downloaded require a higher ios and won't update on my ipad.
From what I could find, that is an iPad 1. You can only update to iOS 5.1.1. You can do that on your computer. It may be time to look for a newer iPad as the apps now are set to use iOS 7.0.4.

"network connection timed out"-can't update upgrade on ipod
Last year an ipod touch 8GB was given to me and I am just now updating everything. When I plug my ipod into my computer and open itunes, it prompts me to download and install 3.1.3 upgrade. So I hit "download and install" and right after it gets done downloading (takes 7 min), an error message pops up and says "network connection timed out"- could not install the upgrade, try again later. I have paid the 5 bucks for the upgrade and tried it about 10 times now with the same results everytime.
I have tried turning off my router and restarting that and also reset my network connections on the actual ipod itself with re-typing in my network name and password for the wifi. My wireless connection is strong and never goes out on me, as well as my ipod always recognizes it and connects automatically so I'm not sure why I keep getting this error message!
HELP!!! thxI ran into the issue this week. said yes to upgrade, ipod was backed up, and then upgrade died. ipod touch itself indicated it was no longer aware. power down did not help, itunes could not restore to previous. Looking on apple site, I was getting a code 14 error. solution was to update itunes to 9.03, restart system and then retry the download. it worked after that, and the backup did restore all my info including kindle books etc.
