Upgrade from LR 5.2 to 5.3. Is any preparation necessary?

Is there anything I need to do before upgrading, such as backing up my develop presets ready to re-instate them after the upgrade ,or do I just go ahead, hit the "download" button and leave it to grind away?
I can't find any description of the process so I'm hoping that's intelligent enough to take care of everything for me. Documentation never says what you don't have to do :-)
Thanks,
John

I put it off for a day as I dread software upgrades.  But, as stated above, upgrading from 5.2 to 5.3 is fast and effecient. 
My computer is attached to the internet with an extra fast cable connection and LR is on an SSD.  Start to finish, it took less than 10 minutes.
I clicked Help > Check for updates... and went from there.  There are download screens, a license acceptance form and a reboot.  Where necessary I agreed to each suggestion.
There were no glitches.

    When you upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4, will you lose any existing texts you have saved?

    That does do that. However it is a temporary backup and not the most reliable. Make sure you also go into file > Transfer purchases from _______ to make sure you save your music and apps. though the article that wjosten posted is correct for the backup as well. But article HT1414 is better for info on backing up.

  • Recent crashes: Mac OSX 10.5.8; can't upgrade from FF 3.6.13 to latest. Any suggestions ?

    I have tried several times to upgrade from FF 3.6.13 to the latest version, and am still being prompted to do so. Apparently, my iMac OSX version 10.5.8 doesn't have enough capacity for the upgrade. Lately, I have had a few crashes when trying to access my E-mail. Could the crashes be related to the failure to upgrade ? If I am unable to upgrade, I may have to switch to Safari which, I expect, would be more Mac friendly.

  • Upgraded from Win7 to Win8 and getting errors. Any way of going back? U410

    Hey guys,
    I just recieved my Ideapad U410 today and I was so psyched! I'm going to a seminar tomorrow, and since this is my only laptop, I really want it to work, so I can use it tomorrow.
    Anyway. I figured that I might aswell just upgrade to Windows 8 right away, so after using the computer for maybe half an hour, I pay for Windows 8, and just do the install through the Windows 8 offer.
    Windows 8 gets installed, and now I just keep getting errors. First of all, the Energy Management program didn't work and kept popping up everytime I restarted the computer. I downloaded a new driver for it, which seemed to fix it.
    At the same time, a pop-up from Dolby Home Theater keeps popping up, telling me to install a valid driver. I've tried installing one, but either I didn't find the right one, or it just didn't work.
    Then my WiFi starts going mental! After restarting the computer, it doesn't connect to the WiFi. It just sits there until I right click it to go into "Open Network and Sharing Center", and then it just hangs until I try to close the window. More hanging...... then the window closes and boom! I have WiFi! 
    The WiFi also started getting slow. Now I have read about the WiFi issues, but my computer was manufactured on 8/25/12, so there shouldn't be any! ....right???
    I'm now thinking of doing a clean install of Windows 7 to get it to work, but I'm hopelessely confused about how it works now that there's an SSD drive in it too. I'm used to just being on an old desktop with ONE harddrive, not all this fancy new stuff
    So......... basically what I'm asking is:
    - Is there a way to get my Windows 8 to work? Fixing the WiFi "hanging" and the Dolby Home Theater error?
    - Am I safe from the WiFi issues since my computer was manfufactured on 8/25/12?
    - Is there a guide that can show me how to do a clean Windows 7 install? Or maybe even get it back to how it was when I first recieved it?
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated, guys! Thanks in advance!!
    Philip
    EDIT: Picture of my upload speed being much higher than my download speed. Looks like I'm affected by the terrible WiFi too. http://speedtest.net/result/2359883449.png

    Sorry, Apple does not support downgrading.
    As to apps disappearing, it's not uncommon for apps to be removed from the app store. I have a couple of games that I play that are no longer available.
    Did you install 8 'over the air'? If so, research into doing a restore. Use a computer to back up your device and then reinstall iOS8 via a computer, and then restore your data from the backup. Sometimes a clean install clears away glitches caused by over the air installs.
    If you just wish to express your frustration to apple, on the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Send them feedback and let them know.

  • Prepping to upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.4 -- problem with Disk Utility

    I have an 17" iMac that I'm preparing to upgrade from 10.2.8 to 10.4. In preparation, I did the following:
    * Mounted a new external HD (LaCie) (my second one)
    * Backed-up all personal files / folders to the new drive
    * Ran Software Update to check for any recent updates - updated iTunes (6.0.3) + an iPod update
    * Ran Disk Utility to repair permissions (which I do whenever I've installed or deteted software) -- Have never had any issues, but this is where my problem started.
    Repair permissions hangs at the end (status bar to the very end), and it appears to be working on permissions related to iTunes (sorry, will have to run Disk Utility again and follow-up with the specifics). I ran it twice with the same result.
    I saw other threads suggesting that the problem may be with the latest iTunes update (recommending moving the iTunes application folder to the desktop and rerunning Disk Utility), but it seems specific to 10.3. Could this be an issue with 10.2.8 as well. If I can successfully complete repairs to permissions (with the above workaround), can I proceed with the 10.4 upgrade, and if so, what should I do with the iTunes application folder (keep it on the desktop, or move it back)?
    Thanks

    Cornelius ... thanks for the follow-up. I went ahead and tried both methods, although I should note that I didn't show the iTunes.pkg or iTunesPhoneDrive.pkg files in the Library>Receipts folder as described in the two approaches. I had no luck at all with Kappy's solution (I moved the one file I did have -- iTunesX.pkg -- and Disk Utility stalled as before). I moved iTunes.pkg back to its original folder, and tried the first method you described. I moved the iTunes app to my desktop, and I was able to successfully repair permissions. I trashed two files (iTunes3.pkg and iTunes4.pkg) and left the iTunesX.pkg file as instructed (again, I don't show the iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg file at all). I reran Disk Utility with the same faulty result.
    I suspect it may have something to do with the missing files. Any thoughts on that?
    Thanks again.
    Max:
    Sorry I misunderstood you. Actually you don't move
    your iTunes folder at all. Here are a couple of
    procedures. Since I have not had to use it I can't
    vouch for either, but I have heard both have worked
    for others.Just to catalogue the
    solutions listed above
    Here's what I did, and it worked fine.
    1) Move iTunes onto the Desktop.
    2) Run Disk Utility
    3) Go to HD>Library>Receipts and trash all iTunes
    .pkg files EXCEPT for iTunesX.pkg and
    iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg
    4) empty Trash.
    5) move iTune from Desktop back to 'Applications'.
    Hey presto. you should now be able to repair
    permissions again.
    HTH
    Kappy’s solution
    1. Navigate to the /Library/Receipts/ folder.
    2. Locate the iTunes.pkg and iTunesX.pkg files and
    move them to the Desktop.
    3. Run Disk Utility and repair permissions.
    4. Move the .pkg files back into the
    /Library/Receipts/ folder.Note that you
    are not moving the iTunes folder, but the .pkg files
    from the Receipts folder. In the first method you
    Trash some of them, in the second you move them back.
    But you don't touch the iTunes application as such.
    Good luck.

  • I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

    I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • Problem to boot on a 2 TB disk or to upgrade from 10.6.1 to 10.6.4

    Hello
    Having upgraded for all those years for 10.1 to 10.6, I have decided to build a new system on a brand new 2 TB disk
    So I have partition the disk and install Snow Leopard.
    Using this new system, at the beginning, everything was OK,
    Now it refuse to boot on that disk
    I have *repaired disk and permission, re-install Snow leopard* !!! no way
    It is trying to boot on that disk then after a while it is booting on my old system disk
    Look that the problem comes with the upgrade from 10.6.1. to 10.6.4
    Any idea ?
    Best

    Earlier, you wrote

    Now it refuse to boot on that disk
    Among the things that still aren't clear is when this disk started refusing to boot. IOW, did it work OK with one upgrade but stop after another of them, or do you mean something else?
    Please keep in mind that what may be clear to you won't be to others unless you provide all the relevant info, & that just repeating what you have already said probably won't improve things much if at all. Put another way, our ability to help you depends almost entirely on the info you provide. If you provide very little, you can expect very little help. If you take the time to explain the situation fully, including anything that would not be obvious to anyone watching you do whatever you do, you will get much better results.

  • Cant upgrade from logic 7.0

    when i try and install the upgrade from 7.0 to 7.0.1 or any other update, it says it cannot find logic in applications. when i launch logic it launches fine.
    any reason for this?

    Hi,
    The Logic Application HAS TO BE in the following folder:
    Macintosh HD / Applications/ IN HERE
    If you have moved it to another location, that is why your Mac cannot update it...

  • Question on Upgrading from FCE to FC Studio2

    I'm currently using FCE HD 3.5, which I upgraded from FCE version 1.0
    I understand that no upgrade path exists from Final Cut Express to Final Cut Studio 2.
    However I have seen on ebay someone selling an upgrade to Final Cut Pro 5 HD from Final Cut express.
    I was wondering.... if I got this then could I then get a Final Cut Studio 2 Upgrade from FCP 5 HD?
    Does anyone see any problems with doing this? It seems to be a way to save money.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    Tom,
    One other question: assuming that my upgrade from FCE to FCP5 is successful. Then how does the upgrade package for Final Cut Studio2 work (If I decide at some future point to upgrade again)
    Will it detect my FCP5 files or will I have to enter the FCP5 serial number, and if so then will I get into trouble at that point. Bottom line is will Studio2 accept the FCP5 serial number?
    Thanks Tom,
    Steve.

  • HT3258 upgrade from iCal.app 3.0.6.?

    upgrade from iCal.app 3.0.6.? any solutions

    Did you move iCal out of your applications folder?  That can cause it to get to miss an update when you upgrade your operating system.  Make sure it is in your Applications folder and then upgrade your operating system.
    If you have 10.5.7, you can upgrade to 10.5.8 free, and 10.6 might be free depending on if you are on Mobileme.   See this tip.
