Updating old G4

I have an old g4 with os x 10.4.11. I also have an iPad and an iPhone but can't Sync with the 10.4 and need to update to 10.5. I was told that this can be done if I transfer all my data onto external drive, then take the tower to apple, the transfer info back off of the external drive as the update will erase everything. Has anyone had success with this and is it true?

Hi independent1va, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Most likely not, to sync with Apple's latest iDevices you need at least 10.5.8, Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it! Helps to tell them you have an iPad/iPhone & you can't run 10.6.
There are ways around the 867MHz requirement, but you need to up the RAM to 2GB...

After updating old Touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear on Bose Sounddock. How can I update to an earlier version?

After updating old ipod touch to 3.1.3, can no longer hear it on old Bose Sounddock. How can I reverse-update to an older version? Or, is there something else I can do? I can hear the ipod on earbuds, but not on the sounddock.

All the monitoring is done through your sound device, not Audition. When you updated your PC, the sound device playback settings would have been reset. One of them includes input socket monitoring, and it's this that you need to reinstate. Since we don't know what sound device you are using, that's as much as we can tell you, except that if it's an internal device, you'll need to open the volume control options and alter it there. This varies between OS versions though...

Problems with updating old .EPS files

Hi All,
We have a strange need to resave/update old .EPS files with color TIF previews. The problem occurs when Illy files are relink in either Quark/Indy and are updated with the wrong import size and/or positions shifted. My conclusion from varies tests suggest it's the preview that is causing layouts to rethink that it's a new file and therefore reposition the updated links. Does anyone know a working solution that can prevent image import percentage from changing or art positions from shifting?
Thank you!

Bump.
Is there no solution for this problem?

Pages v5 doesn't update/old documents not readable

Using Pages to write assignments with iCloud to sync between iPad (travel) and iMac (home).
Update iMac with Maverick and then free Pages update to v5.
Now can't access old documents ! And the Pages version says v 4,3 even though it says updated to v 5 on the app update page
And then they ask for 20 $ to update when you follow the link from the can't open page box .. that's more than I paid for the app.
Can anyone help me please ? Need to send in assignment
Thanks you

Pages 5 does not combine List styles into Paragraph styles.
Use Pages '09, if you have it, it should be in your Applications/iWork folder.

How do I change my email so I come update my old apps and new apps with the same password?

No really true Erasing All Contents and Setting will delete all content for the iPod, inclucing items he purchased but he will be able to redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Necessary to "Update" old illustrator files?

I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have a newer version of illustrator, specifically CS2, loaded on Mac OS X it's calling all of my illustrator files "Text Files."
It says, "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated before you can edit it." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
Should I take the time to update all of these files now? I'm just archiving them. I have thousands of files and it would take time to open them all and update each one. If I don't update now though, will I be stuck later in years to come, with files that won't open at all, as operating systems progress, etc?
2) If I open a file, hit update and then hit save or save as, Logo A for instance will be renamed Logo A [Converted].ai - My question is should I just leave the brackets and the word converted or should I get rid of it?
3) Also, if I open a file, hit update and then hit save or save as it goes to "illustrator Options". In this dialog box it defaults to "Use Compression". Should I just leave it checked or deselect it? (I'm scared of the word "compression" as I just spent the last several days decompressing old Disk Doubler files using an OS 9 emulator. I was lucky to be able to do this.)
4) In this Illustrator Options dialog box it always gives me two warnings for these old files - The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less. What does this mean? Should I try and change it? If so, how? The other warning is "only fonts with appropriate permission bits will be embedded. What does this mean?
Please keep answers as simple as possible. Thanks so much.

Lala,
Most of this just boils down to personal preference and/or common sense.
I have tons of files created in old illustrator 6.0 and now that I have...CS2...Mac OS X [is] calling all of my illustrator files "Text Files."...Should I take the time to update all of these files now?
That's just a file-association issue on the OS, mostly for icon and doubleClicking-to-open. It doesn't mean you can't open the file in a later version of the creating program. Here's the main thing: Can you still directly open AI 6 files in the current version of AI (CS5)? If yes (as I suspect), then whether you update all these files before archiving them or not is just a question of what you consider most convenient. Do you prefer to have all your archive files already updated to current-version AI, or do you prefer to update them on an as-needed basis?
Personally, I opt for the as-needed route. I also have thousands of archive files. But I'm not going to open and resave them all (and mess with replacing legacy fonts, etc., etc.) with every new version of the host program. One could make a career of that. (And Illustrator is far from the only program I use.) In my case, the majority of those legacy files will never be needed again. Although I keep good backups, I always make it a point to make sure my clients know I am under no obligation to indefinitely archive my working files for their completed projects. (Anyone who takes on that liability, without being in that business and charging for it is flirting with disaster.) I provide the customer copies of what is necessary for the reproduction and uses he has contracted for, and he bears responsibility for redundant backup security of the files provided if he deems it necessary.
I'm just archiving them. I have thousands of files...will I be stuck later in years to come, with files that won't open at all...?
As long as the current version still supports the legacy format, it still boils down to whether you want to have all your archive files already updated or update them as-needed.
Now, eventually a new version of the host program may completely break backward file compatibility with a legacy format. That actually happened once in the history of FreeHand when a major modernization of the program was done. If a FH user at that time chose not to update their legacy files, then they would have to do a 2-step update, first using the latest version that did maintained the legacy compatibility, then to the current version. Even then, I did not convert all my archives (especially those for long-inactive accounts.)
The potential larger issue in that kind of scenario would be whether the "middle step" version of the host application will still run on the current-version OS. No one can predict that years and years in advance.
(Aside: For that matter, what assurance do we have that the next computer technology that everyone flocks to--say, organic computing with true artificial intelligence--will not break compatibilty with every existing PDF, CD, DVD, hard disk, VHS tape, Flash drive, Zip drive, Syquest disk, SCSI device, and AI file on the planet? On the other hand, I'm still able to use FH11 without a hitch on Windows Vista--haven't tried it yet on Windows 7. I'd love to try a copy of Windows FH 8--that was a clean drawing program--but only have a Mac version.)
It says "This file contains text that was created in a previous version of Illustrator. This legacy text must be updated..." It asks you to either Choose Update or OK to update later.
Fairly recently (much more recently than version 6), Illustrator's very archaic text objects were updated to a...well...less archaic structure. For backward compatibility, Adobe included a "conversion" routine to give you the option of updating the older text objects. Understand, you can still open, work with, and even re-save the file with the legancy text objects if you have need to. So again, do you really want to do this to all your archive files?(Understand, the reason for the warning in the first place is that the changes affect spacing and therefore potentially line wrapping, and other type-specific things; so if you are truly "updating" the file, i.e.; making it Johnny-on-the-spot, ready-to-go print-ready, you may have some re-typesetting to do. Do you really want to do that on all your legacy files right now?)
Logo A for instance will be renamed Logo A [Converted].ai ...should I just leave the brackets and the word converted...?
That's also just up to you. Makes no functional difference. Appending the word "converted" is intended as a mere file naming convenience. (FileMaker does the same thing by default, for example, when opening an Excel spreadsheet and thereby converting it to a FileMaker database.) For one thing, it lets you save the new file to the same directory as the original file without overwriting it. (In the FileMaker scenario, I always delete the "converted" because the .xls and .fp7 file extensions themselves are going to prevent accidental overwrites. In Illustrator, I never keep the multiple-version files anyway, so I also delete the "converted".)
... it goes to "illustrator Options"...defaults to "Use Compression". ...I'm scared of the word "compression"...
I'm not "afraid" of compression, but I never use application-specific file compression. It just creates other inconveniences in collaboration with others. For example, for many years Corel has provided the option of saving Draw files as compressed or not. It is a very common ocurrence for an AI user to receive a Draw file they should be able to open but can't, just because the Draw user forgot to not save it with compression (or didn't know better).
Yeah, Adobe's marketing might like to think I and everyone else in the world uses only its products, but the real world (thankfully) still isn't that close-minded.
The Document Raster Effects resolution is 72 ppi or less. What does this mean?
See online Help for what Document Rster Effects setting is all about. You need to understand it; but it doesn't really have anything significant to do with the question of updating legacy files. 72 ppi is the default, so if you update a legacy file from a version that predates raster effects, that's the setting the new document is going to get. But since there were no raster effects in the old file, it has no real bearing. But that setting is something you should be familiar with regarding any file you are sending to print, regardless of when.
The other warning is "only fonts with appropriate permission bits will be embedded. What does this mean?
You're getting this when converting legacy AI files? An EPS or PDF file may have embedded fonts, but (correct me if I'm wrong) not an AI6 file, unless the "Save with Acrobat compatibility" option was available in AI6.
At any rate, that's nothing new. Some programs can try to embed fonts in a file to facilitate remote printing and display (but not editing) without having to do the old-world "bundle for output" routine. If you happen to be the typeface designer, of course, you may not be too happy about that. So such features have had to provide the typeface foundry an opt-out. Some typeface vendors are almost as piracy-paranoid as Adobe--much to the dissatisfaction of their legitimate customers. So there is a setting in font files that the font creator can set to disallow embedding of the font. One example of particular distress to me is ITC Officina. Nowadays, I make a point to never purchase fonts that can't be embeded in a PDF. So ITC (or whomever actually owns the thing now) has at least one unhappy legitimately-licensed customer who has stopped using one of his favorite fonts and won't buy an updated version unless and until this nonsense is corrected. Again, it's really a non-issue re file version updating. You can't do anything (well, anything practical) about a font that doesn't allow embedding anyway. The warning is just a "reminder"; it's a standard alert whenever saving a file in a format that tries to embed fonts.

How do I update old iTunes files to my new Apple ID?

I have several albums I purchased years ago and have since changed the email address for my apple login. For example, it used to be [email protected] and now it [email protected], but some of my older songs are requiring authorization with the old ID. I can't transfer or play them. How do I update the authorization for them?

You updated yrou old AppleID adn did not create a new AppleID?
Log out of iTunes store and log back in. You don't need to change anything in the song. If you did update yrou AppleID (and not create a new account), the old AppleID is linked to the new AppleID.

How to update old icon views?

I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and I have just acquired a large number of old .jpg files from an older Mac (probably running Tiger). I can read them fine, but in the Finder some (but not all) of the icon views are made up of very few pixels and won't enlarge properly - perhaps this problem predates even Tiger. Usually it's so bad that I have to guess at the content of the original picture. What I need is a way to remake the icon views for all the pictures in a folder, but so far I haven't found any way to do this apart from opening the files individually in say Graphic Converter and saving them again - this is obviously no good for several hundred or even several thousand pictures.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Graphic Converter may be updating the preview icon as it saves. Doesn't it have some batch processing capability?
Yes, it does.
Select a group of problem icons. Right-click or Control-click one of the icons in the selected group. In the contextual menu that opens, go to "Services" - in that submenu, select "Create icon and preview". After a few seconds all of the icons should be showing properly.
This item apparently is added to Services by GraphicConverter.
You can also use Quick Look to see what's in a file without needing to actually open it. To use that, click an icon once, then press the Spacebar. The contents will be displayed in a popup window.
You can do that with a group of selected files, too. All will be made available for display in a common popup window, like a small slide show - use the arrows at the top of that popup window to cycle from one to the next.

Import Manager MDM 3.0 Updating old Maps

Dear MDM Catalog gurus,
After having upgraded from MDM 2.0 to MDM 3.0 the maps have to be
updated in Import Manager.
1.
When trying to update MDM import Maps in the new "SAP Import Manager" messages
like
- "There are multiple roots for the XML Schema. Please select the correct one" or
- "There are multiple path for Table "ARTICLE". Please select the correct one"
come up.
What exactly do we have to do? What is the root of an XML-Schema? Can
I find that in Console or by looking into "old" Maps with the old Import Manager?
I saved the old Schema files from Console before upgrading to MDM 3.0.
Now when I open this old XML-Schema file with an editor, where can I
find e.g. the "old" root node.
2.
What happens if I say "No" I don't want to update the old Import Maps
when starting Import Manager.
Then all old Maps are gone and I have to recreate them. But does this
have an effect on the further upgrading process to MDM 3.0? Will the
old repositories work under MDM 3.0 after having sais NO?
Any idea?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Henning

Hi there,
thanks for that hints, but this does not really help.
I already read a lot of sap links, but don't really get a solution where I can find information about where to find the rood node (or what it is) or information to former paths.
Is there perhaps anybody how also made an upgrade from MDM Catalog 2.0 to 3.0 with similar experience?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Henning

Using new iPhoto to update old .Mac gallery

I want to use iPhoto 6.0.3 to update this photo gallery, which was started in an older version of iPhoto: http://homepage.mac.com/lpennock/
I used to be able to select "share to web" or whatever that option was and update the gallery that way, but now it seems I can only create new "iWeb" galleries that show up here: http://web.mac.com/lpennock/iWeb/Site/random%20summer.html
If there is a way to move my entire .Mac gallery at the link above to a iWeb photo page, that's fine, I just want them all to be in the same place. Is this possible? Are all the old .Mac galleries now non-updatable?
Thanks!
-Lewis

Lewis:
The only way I've been able to update my Homepage galleries was to do the following:
1 - export the files you want to add to a folder on the desktop resizing them to the size of the ones already in the gallery.
2 - mount your iDisk and locate the folder on the iDisk that contains the files for that gallery and copy your files into it.
3 - go the the .Mac page and log in and then goto the Homepage section.
4 - select the page you want to edit and click on the Edit button.
5 - the newly added files should show up at the bottom where you can edit the title and place them where you want.
As far as converting from Homepage to iWeb easily, there is no easy way. I'm in the process of doing it now and have to go about it this way.
1 - create the photo page in iWeb.
2 - go to the iDisk and download the source files for the Homepage you're converting.
3 - select all of the downloaded image files and drag into the iWeb photo page.
4 - with your Homepage open in Safari, copy the general text and photo text and past into the appropriate section of the iWeb page. Tedious work at best.

Update old DNG files in LR?

I have some old DNG files converted in LR 1.0. How do I make sure that this files are updated to the latest version of the DNG standard and with the latest improvements and bug fixes for my cameras raw format? Is this handled while I save metadata or do I have to update the DNG file?
Can anybody from Adobe explain why there is hopefully no difference between having a file converted 2 years ago compared to having a nef file and convert it to day with latest version of the DNG converter?

I'm not from Adobe, but IIRC (If I Remember Correctly), you can upgrade the DNGs with the latest version of the DNG converter.
