UPGRADE HELP !!!!
Hi guys
I'm currently running Logic 6.4 on my recently purchased Intel Mac Pro. I have been advised to upgrade my logic to 7.2 or higher. The question is, is it worth me buying a Logic 7 upgrade from Ebay, or do I just go for the Logic 8 studio option. I'm running 10.4.11. Which platform will give me more solid performance.
Many Thanks
Logic 6.4 is not UB, so, if you need to open old logic files (LP4 and previous verson) you could be able to use LP6.4 for convert the old file by using "Leopard Rosetta implementation"
in any case you cannot be able to run the project with Logic 6.4 on th Intel Mac. (I never tested that but I think should be works)
But, if you would like to use Logic 7 on your Mac Pro... you must buy Logic 7.2 upgrade in order to authorize your Xskey.
you need Lp7 upgrade + Lp7.2 crossgrade! (only LP7.2 is Universal Binary app)

No where do I see a link to "cancel iCloud upgrade" HELP?
Yes, I'm familiar with the old RTFM rule, but I tried four different times to retrieve that manual form the Apple site. Each time got an error message that something was wrong, that they were working on it, and to please come back later. On the fifth try last night, I got through and successfully downloaded the user guide. Woo hoo!

And just what sort of changes in "appearance" did you expect?
If you can access the editing, conversion, and/or properties options once a file is loaded then the QT 7 app has been upgreaded for "Pro" use. -
Win 7 Pro to Win 8 Pro Upgrade Help needed!
So basically I need somebody to walk me through this like I'm computer illiterate, which I'm generally not, but hesitant to get started without actually understanding the whys and hows.
I bought a Thinkpad S440 with preinstalled WIndows 8 Pro.
It has the Win8Pro sticker at the bottom and the five recovery disks.
Now, the store told me that Lenovo had downgraded it to Windows 7 Pro, so this is what I'm running currently.
I want to upgrade it first to Windows 8 Pro and then to Windows 8.1 Pro (unless I can do it all at once?) Clean install preferable.
It does not have an optical drive, so the Recovery disks which state they can be used to upgrade are pretty much useless. I don't have access to an optical drive anyway, so I can't create iso images of them either.
Also, I don't have a Windows 8 Pro Product key, because apparently it's embedded in the BIOS.
I'm at a loss as how to go about this thing. I bought a Windows 8 Pro machine, I want to be able to use Windows 8.1 Pro. I mean, it should be possible, right? The stickers and purchase order all state Win8 Pro as the OS.
P.S. There's also a 20GB partition on my SSD for Lenovo Repair & Recovery? Is that usable somehow? Why is it there?
Advice? Walkthroughs? I'm completely frustrated with the lack of Product Key.
I've done several upgrades and clean installs on previous computers, but I've never felt limited like this....
Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi clen3k,
You might not have to do that, but nowadays USB optical drives are very inexpensive and you should be able to find a drive even where you are located.
But, back to the original question. Seeing as how Windows 8 was preloaded and your machine was downgraded to Windows 7, your recovery partition should contain the Windows 8 OS. I say, "should".
Have you loaded anything into the Windows 7 OS that you don't want to lose? Loading Windows 8 might be as simple as booting into Rescue and Recovery and returning the machine to factory settings. Or, just go into Rescue and Recovery from the desktop and return the machine to factory settings. Once you are in there you should be able to see what OS Recovery is going to install.
Only thing is if you don't like Windows 8, you will have to jump through a few hoops to get Windows 7 installed back onto your machine.
I would suggest getting yourself an external hard drive if you don't already have one and doing a backup of the current OS before you start so you could return the machine back the way it is now if something messes up. No matter what happens, down the road you will want to do current backups on a regular basis anyway so you need to have something to do those backups on.
Regards,
Dave

I currently have a 1.8 G5 that I bought in 2005. It came with Panther 10.3.7 and up to now has been relatively stable. Since I bought the computer within the Tiger realease window, I have the Tiger disc in hand. Since I now need Tiger to upgrade iTunes, Quicktime and other items, I now want to upgrade to Tiger (also as a prep to Leopard).
My migration from System 9 to to 10 on my iMac was a total disaster, even as I had compltely mapped out the change. I don't want this to happen again. I have read many useful helps in these forums and are now trying to put together, hopefully, a good plan of implementation.
At this time, I have repaire permissions using Cocktail, updated all other items using Mac Janitor and am in the process of saving certain folders & files to a DVD.
I am most concerned about, after the upgrade:
1. If my Airport connection will still operate or do I need to save additional settings.
2. Will I still be able to connect to the internet without any additional settings.
3. Am I missing anything in the process so I don't lose my Home settings.
I'm sure somewhere along these items, they may have been many items posted and the ones I have read have been informative, but I'm looking at the big picture and want to make sure I cover all the bases.
Do I really need to back up the entire hard drive? I'm not sure how to do that, but I did purchase a new LaCie DVD RW to assist me if that's the case. I have already used it to back up certain files and folders.
I've been a Mac user for years, it just seems that as more is added to these software update, you have to increase your learning curve by quite a bit.
Hope I've been clear enough on what I am looking for and I appreciate any assiatance. Hope I didn't get too wordy.
Thanks in advanceFirst backup your current system. Make a bootable backup to a second internal drive or an external Firewire drive.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
For added precaution you can boot into safe mode before doing the clone.
Second, repair your hard drive:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Third, proceed with the Tiger installation. The default should be an Upgrade install. This preserves all from your previous system. Bear in mind that any third-party software you currently use that isn't compatible with Tiger will require upgrading.
Fourth, after restarting into Tiger run Software Update and install the required updates to bring Tiger to its current version.

I can no longer burn DVDs since the upgrade - help!
Ok, new problem for me with my iMac and Lion.
I did the upgrade, and all weekend I've been trying to get some DVD's to burn to backup my photo library.
The seem to burn ok, but fail on the Verify step and the message indicates (roughly) "verify failed, disc may be unstable"
It ejects, and I can't put it back in and do anything with it.
These are DVD +R...they were working before the upgrade.
How can I troubleshoot this?I habe the same problem and cant find a helpful post on the web!

G3 Monitor saying "out of range" after itunes upgrade - HELP PLEASE
I'm running a G3 with 512RAM. It has been running Panther totally reliably for a year. I upgraded to 10.3.9 and the G3 ran no problem. I upgraded to the latest Itunes, restarted the G3 and now after the tones the monitor turns black with the message "out of range" refering to the frequency setting. I can hear to G3 drive running but I cant progress beyond this message on the monitor. Please help...have I lost my G3 for ever? is there a safe mode I can start the G3 in? I have the Panther discs but I don't seem able to do anything to start this G3 now. Please help..I love this Mac, I dont want to loose it, don't mind loosing the data, but not the mac..any ideas..please
Refer to mac manual - Resetting the PRAM (parameter randon access memory).
Restart whilst holding Command/option/p/r keys and release after second tones. Suggest changing internal battery also. -
Hello everybody.
I have a few questions about upgrading the G3 if anyone would be willing to help.
First of all, I must tell you that I am new to the apple world, having been for most of my life a PC/windows user.
The story so far:
I was given a beige G3 desktop by a friend who had upgraded to the G5. I decided to use the G3 as a web browser and general 'lifestyle' computer as I use my PC for business.
However the G3 was a little old and outdated as it was for my needs.
G3 266MHz
256MB RAM
6 MB VRAM
6GB HDD
Mac OS 8.6
I couldn't even get it online as the modem cable had been lost long ago (it had been connected to my friends office network)
I tried building a modem cable myself out of a printer cable and a PC modem cable and that, as you can imagine, failed in a major way.
I did a bit of research and found out that OSX can connect to a windows network so I set about getting a copy of jaguar.
Once I got hold of a copy of jaguar (from applerescue £28 inc delivery)
I installed it without a problem and connected to my windows network allowing me to utilise my existing broadband connection.
Excellent, thought I, but why stop there.
I have built and upgraded many pc's in my time and I had a few components hanging around. Will they work in the G3?
One way to find out.
The first problem I encountered was one of cables and space. As you all probably know the beige G3 does not have much room inside for extras.
I also found that the desktop case was not suited to the environment. It took up way too much space on my desk. I couldn't put the monitor on top of it as it is a big heavy 20inch crt (my friend is a graphic designer) and there is a shelf over my desk that prevents it. However there was a space under my desk which the case would fit in perfectly, if only it was on its side.
Merely putting the case on its side didn't help. The design of the case meant that the thing kept falling over. The cds would fall out too and I had no idea what damage it would do in the long term.
So, junior hacksaw and drill in hand, I set about a major conversion.
A day later I had sucessfully ripped all the components from the G3 case and fitted them in a standard ATX PC case. Now it fits under my desk perfectly.
I fitted the original apple PSU inside the case and fitted the ATX PSU on top.
I spent a little money online and got a 1GHz G3 upgrade from OWC.
(A brief word about OWC. Ordered Sunday evening, package delivered with no VAT or customs charges on Wednesday! Better delivery than a UK vendor and loads cheaper too!)
I used some PC100 RAM I had lying around from a previous PC build.
Standard crucial 184pin SDRAM. Worked no problem. I ordered an extra stick of RAM along with the CPU upgrade.
So I now have a G3 in a ATX tower case.
1GHz G3 CPU
768 MB RAM
Original 6 GB hard drive
Extra 17GB hard drive
Mac OS X
Loads of extra room inside for extras.
I run the hard drives and the motherboard plus a heatsink/fan on the CPU from the apple PSU and the optical drives and a few extra fans from the second PSU.
Sorry that was a long read but I tend to get carried away when I am talking about computers.
Here are some problems I am having which I hope you kind, clever people can help me with.
1. I have a missing hard drive.
I have two ATA hard drives on the internal IDE channel 0 which work fine-ish (see question 2)
I have the original apple CDROM as master on internal IDE 1 and a small 1GB hard drive as slave on internal IDE 1. The small hard drive doesn't show up on the desktop. I can see the drive in disk utility but I can't do anything with it. It is not greyed out but any erasing or partioning gets so far then just stops. However, opening disk utility during installation doesn't have the same problems. I can erase and partition the drive and it shows up with the second listing under the name of the disk. Once OS X is installed it shows up on the desktop perfectly functioning. Once I have restarted it is gone again.
I read somwhere that having a hard drive and CDROM on the same IDE channel can cause problems, is this what is happening here?
I have a yamaha CDRW on the internal SCSI bus, if I use that as my CD drive and remove the CDROM from the IDE channel will that help (I'll try that anyway)
2. The original apple hard drive works so much better than the extra drive I fitted. I installed a 17GB drive as master and have installed OS X on it but it is so slow. I know the drive is 4600rpm but I can't believe how much faster the apple hard drive is. I have installed OS X on both drives and the difference is stunning. With OSX installed on my 17GB drive it takes just over 14 minutes to boot up, with OSX installed on the apple 6GB drive it is more like 2 minutes. I know that the 17GB drive is old and slow but that is a big difference. Could it be a driver problem?
I have looked around online for drivers for the hard drive but, as I said before, being new to the apple side of computers I don't really know where to start looking.
3. I have installed an unsupported USB card. It seems to work fine. Everytime I boot up I get a message saying:
'over current warning - the usb device installed is drawing too much power, the hub it is attached to will be disabled.'
I click okay but the thing still works!
I have a wireless mouse plugged into it and it works fine even though it has been disabled.
Is this going to explode?
The words 'over current' sound scary.
4. Harking back to question 1. If I disconnect the CDROM on the internal channel to enable me to use my third hard drive, will I be able to boot from the SCSI CDRW?
5. Can anyone suggest a good system monitoring program? As mentioned I bought a CPU upgrade and I am a little suspicious about it. I want to know what speed it is running at. The docs that came with it say the the apple system profiler will not give the correct reading of CPU speed and I should use CPU director instead.
Call me cynical but is it possible that the CPU I bought is not what it says on the tin.
ASP says it is 333MHz and it should be 1GHz. CPU director does indeed say it is running at 1GHz but can I believe that? It is, in my opinion, possible to write a piece of software to give the wrong CPU speed thereby allowing someone to sell a 333MHz chip as a 1GHz chip and saying 'only our software can give correct readings'
I had the same thing with a broadband supplier recently. My connection was really slow for days. I ran several online speed checks to ascertain the speed. Out of the six speed checks only the suppliers own one said I was getting the connection speed I should have been, all the others gave really low speeds which reflected in the fact that it took an age for a web page to download, not something you should be getting on a 2Mbit connection.
On the phone to the suppliers customer services and they refused to take any speed check but theirs as true. I ran theirs and it always came up with the same number. 'Then your connection is working perfectly' they said. The five other speed checks and my own eyes told a different story but they wouldn't have any of it, instead telling me my PC was to blame, even going on to tell me to disable firewall and antivirus and run my PC in safe mode with no startup programs!! ********. Anyway, I want a third opinion about processor speeds so if anyone could tell me the name of a good program to do this (preferably free) I would be grateful.
Thanks for any help any of you can give me. I am learning more and more about apple hardware by the day and I am fast becoming one of the converted.
broddrHey guys,
thanks for answering so soon.
To answer the questions asked:
The motherboard is either a rev b or c. I remember checking this when I first had the idea of upgrading the cpu. I am not sure if it is a b or c but it is definately not rev a.
I think the cpu upgrade is working fine.
As Frank mentioned, it seems most of the cpu speed utilities use ASP for their information and give exactly the same speed reading.
I went a little more basic.
I ran CPU director and put the cpu speed at 333MHz and timed how long it took a few apps to open, then used CPU director to put the speed up to 1000MHz and timed the same programs again.
The speed difference was more than noticeable so from this I can only assume the CPU is running at 1GHz.
I have installed 9.2 on a seperate partition but it seems to be a weird version.
It came with a freinds G5 software for his iMac and is labelled 'additional software'
I installed it on a whim (because I am like that) and it gave me 'classic support'
I can now run classic apps in OSX and I have, on occasion, been able to boot into the 9.2 system. Only occasionally though.
Once booted into the 9.2 system there is no optical drive support and hardly any of the options I remember from OS8.6.
From this I am assuming that it is a cut down version of 9.2 bundled with new iMacs to enable users to use classic apps.
That doesn't explain why sometimes I can boot into it though.
Any of you heard of something like that.
I am planning to purchase a full copy of 9.2 when funds allow.
I have disconnected the CDROM which is on the same IDE channel as my third hard drive and used the cuda button to force the motherboard to recheck its hardware. Upon boot though the only difference it made is that I didn't have a CDROM. The third hard drive was still awol.
The SCSI yamaha CDRW is bootable but that makes little difference as disconnecting my IDE CDROM makes no difference on whether or not I can see the third hard drive.
I do know about the 8GB partition and OSX is sitting on the first partition which is 7.95GB.
I tried using xpostfacto to get around this which kind of worked. It did allow me to put OSX on a larger partition but caused no end of problems at boot so I cleared NVRAM and erased all the hard disks and started afesh.
The 17GB hard drive is in fact 15.91 GB, sorry about that. It came in a PC I bought which was (incorrectly) labelled as having a 17GB hard drive and since then I have just called it the '17GB hard drive'.
Since I last wrote I have done a little more research on the hard drives and found that the 6GB original apple drive and the 15GB drive are both 5400rpm so that cannot be the problem.
Here is some more accurate information on the drives:
IDE 0-
Master - 15.91GB Fujitsu MPE3170AT - seems to work fine apart from the aforementioned slowness - first partition is 7.95GB with OSX installed.
Slave - 6GB Maxtor 90651U2 - works fine
IDE 1-
Master - Matshita CR57 CDROM - works fine and is bootable.
Slave - 1.19GB WDC AC21200H - this is the one I just cannot use or see.
SCSI internal - Yamaha CDRW - works fine and is bootable.
Could the problem be that I have overloaded the internal bus by having four devices on the IDE and a SCSI device?
I have since used a program called disk warrior which states that the 1GB WDC disk is of an unrecognisable format.
I have sucessfully used disk utility to zero it out but it makes no difference.
I think it may just be trashed.
The USB card is still a puzzle.
I am, right now, using a mouse plugged into the USB card which is, according to OSX, disabled.
Scratching of head.
Maybe it is still functioning because the apple PSU has lots spare to give because I have a second PSU taking a lot of the strain? I just don't know.
This whole boot time thing is puzzling to the extreme.
As I said before. I have installed OSX on the 6GB Maxtor drive and the machine starts up in under 2 minutes so I can only assume that there is no hardware problem elsewhere.
When I use the Fujitsu drive its 10 - 14 minutes. So from that it is logical to assume it is the hard drive. Maybe it has a really small cache or something. Or maybe the apple just doesn't like it much.
Once the machine is up and running it runs just fine. A few programs like entourage are a little slow to boot.
I don't know what the benchmark is as I have never used an Apple except this one.
For instance safari takes around 2 seconds for the icon to stop bouncing and about 5 seconds in total to be up and have loaded the home page. Is that about normal?
Another question I have to ask you fine fellows.
Can you move some of OSX's built in applications and utilities to a seperate partition and still have them function properly?
I would like to use the apple hard drive as the OSX installation disk but at 6GB, once I have installed the OS there ain't much room left for anything else.
I have already installed MS office and Appleworks and a few other apps to a separate partition and they work fine.
I suppose though that if I did that and the problem is slow access to the fujitsu disk, once I installed OSX to the apple disk and installed apps to the fujitsu disk I would still have problems accessing those apps.
i don't know really. I think I am going to have to take the machine apart again and experiment until I can find the problem.
Another quick question.
Could it be RAM? Surely either RAM works or it doesn't right?
My system is correctly identifying the 768megs of RAM, if there was a problem with the 512MB of PC100 RAM I installed it just wouldn't show up.
Anyway, thanks for all your help so far,
I think I am going to save some cash and buy a new Apple machine - any suggestions which?

HP Envy 13 1030nr. Windows 7 64-bit. RAM upgrade help.
I just purchased a RAM upgrade for my Envy 13 and I was trying to figure out how exactly to access the memory module. I couldn't find a youtube video for the Envy 13 and reading the maintenance manual provides only partial instructions to access the memory module. It tells you what you need to do (Disconnect the TouchPad cable 2 from the low insertion force (LIF) connector on the system board) but not how to do it without damaging the computer. I don't want to permanently sever a cable or anything so I'm looking for help via a link to a video or more detailed instructions on exactly how to safely access the memory module.
I was under the impression that this would be a quick replacement, but the more I read the manual, the more I think that this is going to be a little more complicated than opening up the bottom and removing the current RAM chip and replacing it with the one I have. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!Here is the Manual:

Memory is indeed on the motherboard and getting there requires nearly complete disassembly. See Page 4-26. Not sure how this qualifies as "easy" and if you have not done this before you should get some help. And yes, keep careful track of those screws. -
Upgrade help from os 9.1 to 10.3 panther
Hey, How is everyone doing?
Recently my friend gave me an old iMac. It is one from Summer 2000. He no longer had any use for it so I said I would take it for my son who is into video editing.
He also gave me OS X 10.3 Panther
I seem to be having a bit of an issue upgrading here so i'll post what I can.
I put the boot disc in and the iMac reads it fine, I hit install and it runs the program, then gives me the error
"iMac Essentials could not be installed please upgrade firmware"
So i get on one of the chat's with an agent and he gives me a link to get the newest firmware patch I download it and install it, and I get the same error again. can anyone shed any light as to why this may be happening? any help would be greatly epreciated.
also Im running three computer's
Dell Demension 8400 with Windos XP professional 3.2 ghz processor 120gb hard drive 1 gb ram
Dell Demecison XPS 400 with Windows NT 800 ghz processor 12 gb hard drive with a second 10 gb hard drive put in and running 320 mb of ram
iMac "iPac" with OS 9.1 nut really sure whats in it havent looked at it really
Thanks

Macbook air battery cut in half after Mavericks upgrade- help?
Hey everyone,
I have a mid-2013 MBA that would get 10-12 hours of life, on average, with ML. After upgrading to 10.9 though, the battery life has been cut in half. Not only that, but the battery still drains when I have the lid closed and runs hot inside of my bag. This used to never happen before. I have performed SMC and PRAM resets multiple times and I am almost at my wits end. I travel extensively and I purchased this MBA specifically to not worry about my battery life! Quick note, I have not installed any new programs since the OS update and my usage has remained consistant.

Unfortunatly, this did not really solve the problem. It extended my average battery life by MAYBE an hour or so, however, I am still seeing significant battery drains and laptop heating when the lid is closed. I have resigned to taking my laptop in soon. I have attatched another etre check output though if you wish to see an updated log:

Upgrade Help... is my install disk good?
Hi all... may your 2007 unfold as you prefer...
I bought Tiger and was testing out how it would run, on a cloned B/U firewire drive, before installation on my main drive...
I ran into install problems and after 2 failed attempts on the external drive i'm nervous to install on the main.
The last lines of the installation log reads:
"Dec 13 23:05:05 localhost : Performing post-extraction actions
Dec 13 23:05:05 localhost : SecAlternate system ("/Volumes/OSX B:U") returned 100079". Then it stalls and never finishes.
So here'squestions:
Do i need to have the upgraded disk set up for "Journaling"?
Could i have a bad Install disk?
AFAIK, no problems w/the drives nor w/present OS config.
Any thoughts, recomendations or support would be helpful as i'm at a loss here...
Pismo G4/550;SuperDrive;DLink BT;1GB RAM Mac OS X (10.3.9) upgraded CPU & Optical Drive!Ce Ann:
Sometimes installing to an external HDD can be a challenge. I understand your hesitation to install to your Pismo and possibly mess things up. However, if you have a Full Retail Version of Tiger I don't think you need to worry.
Here's what I suggest:
1. Back up (clone) your entire HDD to your external Firewire HDD using SuperDuper. The point of this is that if the installation does not go well you can clone your HDD back from the external FW HDD.
2. Disconnect your external HDD from the Pismo.
3. Insert the Tiger install disk and boot up your Pismo holding down the "C" key.
4. When booted go to the Utilities menu and launch Disk Utility.
5. Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the sidebar.
6. Select First Aid in the main panel.
7. Click Repair Disk button.
8. If DU reports disk does not need repairs click Repair Disk Permissions button. Then quit DU and go to installation below.
9. If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
10. If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
I am assuming that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Tiger.
Installation
1. You are already booted from the Tiger installer disk.
2. Lauch the installer by clicking Install.
3. After the preliminaries select installation option.
4. If you wish you may choose to customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations (if you don't think you need it--most people don't); also deselect Additional Printer Drivers.
5. Proceed with installation.
6. After successful installation computer restarts and you go through the setup procedure.
7. Restart and Repair permissions (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)!
8. Download and apply the Mac OS X Update 10.4.4 (Combo)
9. Restart and Repair permissions!
10. Run Software Update and apply all available updates.
As you may have noticed I am running Tiger on my upgraded Pismo and on a 500, and both run great.
Please post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Installing Logic 9 UPGRADE Help
Hi,
I've been using logic pro 8 since it came out, (got it part of logic studio) and i just bought the logic studio upgrade today so i can run logic 9, aswell as mainstage etc.
Ever since i put snow leopard on my mac i've had quite a few crashes with logic, when it crashes it gives me the report that it's due to my 'camelPhat plugin' but sometimes it doesn't say it is that.
The guy in the apple shop said i would be best to totally uninstall logic studio 8, then reinstall it, then install my logic studio upgrade, then reinstall my plugins e.g soft synths etc
He said that logic was probably crashing due to some things not being built for snow leopard, like my plugins.
I was just wondering what anyone thought of this? Is it worth while, am i likely to encounter any problems or would i be best just leaving it as it is and installing my logic studio upgrade over the top as it already is?
Thanks for any help or guidance, really appreciated.
Tominstalled logic 9 upgrade next to LP 8 last week. Running on an imac intel 20 inch from 2008.
It's all working like a breeze. Worked on some pretty heavy projects. No crashes or any other problems.
I really really like Logic 9. Flex time and Bounce in place all already worth the update alone, although i think 200 euro's is a bit too expensive, compared to the price of the normal package (i think 400 or 500 euros)
Anyhow, i love this stuff. Soo much more intuitive and quick than Cubase, which I've used for years actually (and which is also a very very good program, but logic just beats it for me)

ITunes won't start after upgrade-HELP!
I tried upgrading to the latest iTunes on my windows xp and nothing seemed to go wrong. everything installed correctly. Quicktime opens and operates perfectly, but iTunes will not open at all!
I have tried various different uninstall-reinstall combinations, including older versions. nothing works at this point!
HELP!Same thing has happened to me apart from my itunes has been wiped from the computer, the only thing you can do is reset your computer to a a few days before you tried to upgrade. your itunes will come back on plus all your music but you can't upgrade to 7.7 or it will disappear again. Very annoying and time consuming, Apple need to sort this out.
