Upgrade a OS 10.5.8 to OS 10.6 with reinstall drive

HI I have now an old Mac book 4, that was given to me. And I would like to upgrade.
i Was wondering if I can upgrade that 10.5.8 OS with the reinstall drive os 10.6 from my book air?
the old Mac is running on Intel with 2 mg memorie and 89gb hard drive free so it is
compatible with maverick for later.

No. You need a retail DVD to upgrade.

Is it possible to upgrade the 10.5.8 OS on a MacBook Pro with a 2.4 GHz/Intel Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAm to the latest OS?

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer working

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer recognizing discs. When I first put a disc in the drive runs for a bit and then stops. I've tried updating the driver but it says it has the most current driver. Under manage, it does not show any error codes and it says it is working correctly. I've looked at the regedit and it does not have any of upper and lower filters. I've tried disabling, rebooting, and reenabling. What am I missing? Another issue I've had since upgrading is that my network adapter needs reset several times a day in order to remain connected to wifi.

Hey hvbnfrgvn,
Thank you for the information on your HP Pavilion g7-2270us Notebook PC.
I suggest following the steps in this document for Drive Cannot Read Discs (Windows 8).
If your CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8), follow the steps in this document.
I hope this information helps, please keep me posted on how it goes.
Best of luck and have a great day!

After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram. Will I be able to run Lighroom 5 if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion?

I want to upgrade to Lightroom 5, but I'm concerned about compatibility with my 2008 intel Core 2 Duo iMac with only 4G of Ram. Will I be able to run Lightroom 5 okay if I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion? What will happen to the applications that aren't 64-bit compatible? Also the Eye-one Display 2 colorimeter to calibrate the monitor will not run on Lion, so that will be an expensive upgrade to an i1DisplayPro. Is the upgrade important enough to offset the expense? I have an Epson R2000 printer. Will there be problems with the drivers if I upgrade to Lion? It would be great to hear from other mac users who are also photographers and who print their own photos.

Before upgrading to Lion be sure to read this link:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
Adobe lists these requirements:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom/tech-specs.html
Looking at http://www.everymac.com/ even the earliest 2008 iMac was fully 64 bit, even though Boot Camp doesn't support 64 bit Windows on that machine.

I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks. I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

Upgrad from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center!

Hello,
I did upgrade from Windows 8 Pro on Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. Now the problem is when I press on any file with the right mouse button is normally open curtain menu, but when I press on any folder, right-click, the system crashes after a few seconds
and back up.
Best regards!

Hi,
Go Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer and scroll through the logs for System and Applications to see if anything shows up in red as Error or Warning.
Meanwhile, going to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\ShellEx\ContextMenuHandlers
in regedit.exe, backing up the whole ConxtentMenuHandlers folder, and then start deleting all of them one by one and continuously testing the right click. Of course import the Context folder after you find it, test once again by right clicking
to make sure you found the problem, and delete the file that caused the problem.

Upgrading from 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 issue with GUI

Hi,
I've been trying to upgrade 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 multiple times now on my MBP and gets to the same error every single time.
10.6.7 runs like a charm - no issues no nothing.
I download 10.6.8 v1.1 combo pack and try to install it, it runs and want to restart. Once it boots all I get is either a screen switching/flickering between the apple logo or an orange screen. At this time I'm able to access the shared folders from another mac on my network and check the logfiles that it's done with its upgrade.
Here I notice the windowserver.log doesn't look like it used to do only stating :

I'm able to access it via SSH as well, if the setting is ticked in sharing option, and can see that WindowServer is using 100% cpu on the MBP.
Anyone got any idea on how to get it up and running again and get me to 10.6.8?
Yes I have reset PRAM, SMC, erase and install, etc. Every time I'm able to get the MBP to 10.6.7 without any issues. I've even tried to install the latest CUDA drivers for the nvidia cards which didn't make any difference.
When I start it in verbose mode the last line is:
[ PCI configuration begin ]
Anything would help...

I can add it's the same with upgrading to Lion... So I guess they changed some driver code between 10.6.7 and 10.6.8 and its not compatible with my logic board.
Annoying tbh..

Just upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 and it's playing havoc with my work flow.

I've just upgraded to Photoshop CC 2014 and it's playing havoc with my work flow.
i) From LR5.5, when I click edit with "Photoshop CC 2014" - it opens PS CC 2014 but doesn;t open the image
ii) Whenever I try and use Nik Viveza it crashes PS CC 2014 when applying the changes from viveza. I've checked that I have the latest version of Nik software. It was working fine PS CC
I'm now going back to CC until these can be resolved.
Thanks
Chris

I was going to reply that I have multiple monitors and have had zero problems with Viveza used with PS CC 2014. Then I realized two things. One I didn't know if the OP was on windows or the Mac and, two, if the Mac was it a Big Cat or geographic system. The display characteristics differ greatly between the three systems.
It sure would be nice to have a one line signature specifying the poster's system available for use on this board.

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
You can double check this yourself:
First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

Upgrading from XI/PI7.0 to 7.1 having problems with message mapping

Hello,
We are in the process over the past week of testing our XI/PI functionality after upgrading our 7.0 XI/PI environment to PI7.1; in particular several maps that were accessible in 7.0 will not open or diaplay in 7.1 complaining of a missing node in the mapping structure. Currently working with SAP on a possible fix but wanted to know if anyone else has done a true migration on top of an existing XI/PI7.0 system and experiencing similar issues (note: the maps can execute in the runtime environment but we can't display the maps source within message mapping; this also does not occur for all maps and there is no clear consistant theme to those that can be displayed and those that can't).
The lattest issue just encountered related to message mapping is that in test mode of a map (that can be displayed) attempting to display the data queue for the mapped elements are blank no data being displayed giving an error noting that the source text of object message mapping: name of the map; has syntax errors, java area import line x, package ibm.com.xi.mapping does not exist/ import ibm.com.xi.mapping UDF:
Has anyone upgraded from PI7.0 to 7.1 and experienced errors with existing maps that worked ok (ans still work in our QX/PRD systems) in their 7.0 envirinment but encountereing strange errors once upgrated to 7.1?
Thanks
Dereck Purnell
NewellRubbermaid

Here is the solution we received from SAP to address the issue, there were several mapping related issues we started havng from maps that worked in our 7.0 system prior to the upgrade to PI 7.1. I will try to encorporate the solutions in this response.
a) From Customer to SAP
1. We are unable to open some massage mapping, it is throwing
exception
2. Number Format functions throw exception.
But following issue is still unresolved:
3. When we display message queue, it throws exception
***) 05.02.2009 - 12:34:33 CET - Reply by SAP
The patch has been released at the Service Marketplace.
Please update the scas described in the note 1264871.
The "FormatNum" function issue has also been taken care in this patch.
Please go through the Note 1264871 for other behaviour changes after
upgrade. Let us know if you need any further help.
Regards,
B) From Customer to SAP
04.02.2009 - 00:23:44 CET - Info for SAP
We discovered another issue with mapping.
For some of the mappings, we are unable to display mapping queue. When
we execute, Interface mapping and Massage mapping, it works fine. But
display queue throws exception. Itu2019s not able to recognize libraries
used from dependent software component.
Please find document "Display Mapping Queue Issue" providing example
problem.
25.02.2009 - 07:05:28 CET - *Reply by SAP*
Thank you for your update. I wanted to check with "CopyValue"
function's index. It has to take an input integer and the problem that
found while debugging the opening of your mapping is that the input
was empty thus causing the exception.
I was going to suggest the intended use of "CopyValue" function.
When the input to "copyValue" is a constant, "copyValue" is totally
not necessary. Thus constant can be directly mapped to other function.
When the input is a node with values in context, you can treat one of
values say input[0] to used in mapping by using CopyValue[0].
But please make sure that input[0] will always produce a value.
Note 877964 will describe in detail on Copyvalue usage.
I am marking this Message as complete. Please confirm.

Problems with extrenal drive after upgrade to Lion

Hello,
after upgrading to Lion last week I am experiencing some problems with my LaCie 1 TB FireWire (800) external drive.
The problem is not that big however. When I delete files on the external drive they do not appear in the Trash Bin.
However when I unmount and again mount the partitions using the Disk Utility the deleted files do appear in the
Trash Bin. The external drive has 3 partitions: 2 X Mac OS X Journaled and one FAT. The above described problem
appers on all partitions. I performed repair and verify to all partitions but Disk Utility says that everything is OK! Any idea ?
P.S. With Snow Leopard I have never experienced such problem.
Thank you!

DiskWarrior is on
Step 5: Locating directory date...
Speed reduced by disk malfunction: 339,474, er make that 340,239, er make that 341,327....
should I stop it or keep going??!!!!
