"Upgrade" from 10.5.8 to 10.5.6 ... yes you read that correctly

I'm running 10.5.8 ... having updated after starting with testing a copy of Leopard. I've now bought my own new copy of Leopard ... the disc is 10.5.6
Is there anything special I need to do when doing a Clean Install ?
I'm backed up with Time Machine.

Do a search of these forums for 10.5.8 permissions and you'll find that the list you get at the end of the repair process is most likely spurious. It seems to me that something is wrong with either your hardware or with the disk you purchased . . . most likely with the disk. That's why I think you should let Apple know about it. You must have several Apple Stores in the LA area (we have two here) so I think you need to check with one of the Geniuses at the very least.
You mentioned that you wanted to try starting with the 10.4.x disk you have and reinstalling that, then upgrading from there with your new 10.5.6 disk but you weren't sure it would accept it since you are already up to 10.5.8. If that's the one that came with your MPB (the gray Restore disk) I don't know if it would work with an already upgraded system either since if it is a grey one it is not a regular retail upgrade. I've never tried doing that (never had to). But I don't see how you can do any harm by putting it in and seeing if you can restore to the original out-of-the-box configuration. Then you could, as you suggested, upgrade that with the new disk. If the new 10.5.6 disk wouldn't upgrade from that pristine state, then something is definitely wrong with it.

My iPhone's "Other" capacity has suddenly jumped to 56G out of 64G. Yes, you read that right. Every time I try to sync to recalculate, it gets worse! Please help! Can't even restore from backup now, since my backup is all "other"!

I have fully up-to-date everything on my iPhone and computer and iTunes. I have an iPhone5 and MacBook Pro. I synced my iPhone this morning and it has 12 or so gigs of free space (even with my music and some photos on it). Then I deleted some voice memos in iTunes, and wanted to sync again to reclaim the space. When I tried, it said I had 29G of "other" data and that my phone was way over capacity and can't sync. I tried a few online solutions to force it to recalculate, but now it says it is about 90% "other"!! Only 8G of 64G free, and "other" is the ONLY thing in the summary bar.
I un-checked music for syncing, thinking that must be the problem. It did not help. Now there is nothing on my phone except "other", according to iTunes (not even photos).
I cannot restore from backup now, since the backup includes the giant "other". I don't want to delete my info on my phone knowing a corrupted backup is my only alternative.
Help!

Thanks so much Meg. Unfortunately, iTunes is the program I use to perform syncing. I don't really have other outside options. It is also the location of the backup I would use to restore my phone, and my only way to reclaim important data. I am concerned that, since the last backup occurred when the "other" bar was only moderately huge (around 29G I think), that a backup would replicate the problem back onto my phone.
My contacts, etc. are all in address book and the calendar app on my Mac. As far as I know, iTunes is the way to get them back, but iTunes is where the problem is.
Any thoughts on this?

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync.

I had an iPod Classic 5th Gen that I upgraded from 30gb to 80gb. The problem I'm having is that it will not sync more than about 5.4gb worth of songs. The iPod begins to freeze mid sync and the (-69) error message haults the sync process. The hard drive has been upgraded, it has a new logicboard (with 128mb RAM), new housing, battery, hold / headphone jack. Basically the only original parts are the bezel, click wheel, screen, and data ribbons. Have attempted the 3Rs and have also tried to isolate potentially corrupt audio files and remove them, but this did not seem to be the primary cause. The sync failure consistently happens at just under a 1000 songs (5.4gb) and then it starts to error (-69) any song after that. Your advise would be enthusiastically received.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Trying to upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.3 with external dvd reader

Hi everyone.
I have a bit of a question.
I have two macs; one is an iMac, 500mhz running 10.2.8 which I bought used off of Craigslist as a backup computer for whn my home PC finally dies. and the other is an eMac running 10.3.3 (this eMac is use at my photography studio, in a isolated non-internet accessable enviroment).
My PC recently died, and so I took the iMac home to use as my replacement.
I wanted to take the dvds with 10.3 on it and upgrade my iMac at home, because it is still on 10.2.8.
However, the iMac only has a cd-reader tray on it.
So I thought that I could take my external DVD drive, hook it up to the USB on the iMac, and I coudl read the dvds that way, but it won't work at all. The dvds are read, but when the computer auto-reboots it isn't reading the drive until after the computer fully boots up.
Is there any way I can get this to work?
Thanks everyone

iMac/eMac Mac OS X (10.3.3)

A few issues to consider:
A. What you are doing is illegal and violates Apple's software license.
B. You cannot use the special system installers that come with one computer to install OS X on a different model. They usually are special builds intended only for the Mac model with which they came.
C. You cannot boot the computer from USB device, you need a Firewire device.
D. Panther generally doesn't take kindly to installing from an external drive, it usually prefers installing from an internal optical drive.
E. A legal version of Panther comes on CDs. You can purchase it at www.applerescue.com.

I recently performed a upgrade from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found that my phone battery drain up very fast and the battery unable charge to 100. Besides, the battery live is going down when I charging with 3G on.Any solution for my issue? Please help.

Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
May seek help from your advise on above case.
Thank you
Best regards,
Adrian

Try killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

Help Needed. Upgrade from CS2 to CS3 and now PSD Linked Files Not Read?

Hi!
Just upgraded to Illustrator CS3 and I am trying to work on a document I created in CS2 and for some reason when I open the document I am getting this message:
Could not find the linked file "filename.psd". Choose repair to locate the missing file, Replace to select another file, or Ignore to leave the link unchanged.
Now I went in to try to re-link the file, but I can not 'see' any PSD files? I had a series of transparent PSDs in that document.
Why can't the new Illustrator see my PSD files and how do I fix this problem?
Thanks!

Hi! I just wanted to post back to say that I ran the installation CD again to fix whatever might be wrong and when I re-opened Illustrator I could go in and see the "PSD" extension to re-associate the files.
I'm now having problems with Photoshop CS3, so I'll have to sort that now. Not the smoothest of upgrades to this CS3 suite, I must say. LOL
Oh well!

When you purchase a song from a different album,why does't iTunes tell you ?that you already have that song?

When you purchase a song by a particular artist, why does;t iTunes prompt you about duplcates?

As noted above iTunes Plus songs can be recognised by a plus sign beside them. If I recall the early launch information the iTunes Plus songs are predominantly EMI releases but other labels may also have iTunes Plus content available now: iTunes Plus FAQ

Upgrade from SCM 5.1 to SCM 7.0 SR1 (with NW 7.0 EHP1 SR1)

Hi folks,
we are trying to upgrade our SCM5.1 to SCM 7.0 SR1. There seems to be a problem in the phase, where SAPup is trying to detect the needed CDs / DVDs. SAPup recognizes that "FRP" is used within the system. There appears a dialog to enter the mount points for the DVDs required for the upgrade.
It says <<Enter at least the mount point for the DVD titled "FRP Software DVD">>. All other needed media is accepted, but not the DVD with the FRP-Software.
SAP Note "1300960" explains, that as of SAP Business Suite 2008 onward, no media without a MID.XML file will be accepted for upgrades (e.g. media containing Add-Ons).
I have opended a message to SAP Support, but there is no solution / workaround until now. I cannot skip the phase and therefore it is not possible to launch / continue the entire upgrade.
SAPup Version is "7.10/7, build 31.010 for UNICODE"
Has anyone faced the same problem with no-MID.XML based media?
Thank you for any advice!
Kind regards,
Marcel Jentsch

Hi,
We just upgraded from SCM 5.0 to 7.0 sp9.
You need not deactivate the DP planning areas before upgrade.
We did not face any issues because of this.

Upgrading from XP to W7 - will I loose my LightR/M9 licence?

I plan to upgrade from XP to Win 7. In doing so I expect that I have to reinstall all software including Lightroom 2.6RC for my Leica M9. My questions;
- how do I transfer all historical data etc related to my images in Lightroom? I will of course take care of my DNG files - but will the Lightroom back-up take of everything else?
- can I reinstall Lightroom "within" my current license on the new platform without problems?
Thanks
/Anders

Your license is valid on any platform..windows, mac whatever version.
Ensure you have everything backed up to disks that do not contain the OS before you start the new instillation.
Make sure you copy your Lightroom catalog folder and all your image files in the same folder structure as they presently are in order to not have to relocate once upgraded. Install LR on your new system (use a downloaded copy, do not install from disk..you want the latest version, enter your license code and open the catalog..you should be good to go.

Upgrade From 10.1.2 to Tiger

I have a friend who was using her flat panel iMac mainly in OS9. She wanted to upgrade to Tiger and has been sold the OS but is now worrying that she will have to wipe her entire hard drive to install it. She doesn't want to do this. Will the discs perform an upgrade?

Hi Danktuft ,
First make sure you buy the retail full install version of Tiger (black DVD). You cannot use hardware specific disks that shipped with another computer (gray).
You cannot directly upgrade from 10.1.x to 10.4.x. You will have to either reformat the drive (recommended) or do an Erase&Install. In both cases all your data will be lost, so make sure you have a complete backup!!!
If your computer can boot into OS 9 natively:
I suggest to reformat the drive using the OS 9 install CDs. By reformatting the drive with the OS 9 disk you are safe that all required OS 9 hardware drivers will be installed properly.
0. BACKUP YOUR ENTIRE HARD DISK - it will be completely erased during the following procedure!
1. Boot up from the OS 9 install CD and reformat the drive as Apple Extended (HFS+).
2. Install OS 9 and update it to 9.2.2: Mac OS 9: Available Updates
3. Confirm you can boot into OS 9
4. Upgrade your firmware: Firmware Upgrades
5. Insert the Tiger install DVD and reboot while holding down th c-key.
6. Once the installer has started select "disk utility" from the menu.
7. Select "repair OS 9 privilegies" from the menu.
8. Repair the disk.
9. Quit disk utility and proceed with a normal install (do not select Erase&Install because this would erase your OS 9)
10. After the reboot Repair permissions!
11. Download and apply the Mac OS X Update 10.4.8 Combo PPC.
12. Repair permissions again and finally run Software Update from the Apple menu to install all remaining updates (yes, you should install all at once because only the software update app knows the exact order in which they have to be installed).
Good luck!

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
