Upgrade to 10.4.x but keep Xdarwin?
Hi,
I am still on 10.2.8 with XDarwin 1.1.1.1 rootless and XFree86 4.2.1.1 and it runs so extremely well that this is the main reason I did not yet upgrade to 10.4.x and Apples own x11. But I start getting annoyed by having just an older OS.
I am looking for a way to upgrade to 10.4.x but keeping my XDarwin
(and XFree86) fully functional without risking to mess it up. Would it work during an upgrade installation to 10.4.x to simply choose x11 NOT be installed, simply keep XDarwin unchanged in my Apps folder and start it after the upgrade as usual? Would I additionally need to do "FINK update-all"? How risky is that?
Would there further be a way to install Apples x11 additionally by assigning a different directory tree to it, leading to a situation where I can choose at login, which X I want to use?
Thanks a lot for any help,
Joe
PB G4, 1GHz Mac OS X (10.2.x)
I got it working myself
Maybe others are dealing with the same problem, so here is what I did:
At Corel's support website I found no information about similar problems, just a description how to set back the current workspace to factory defaults.
This is done by clicking at the program icon to start the software and then holding down the shift key immediately after clicking. Then a message box opens asking for confirmation.
Although I had done some custom settings to the workspace I had nothing to lose and gave it a try. Voila
Not sure what the reason behind is; I think that there are old configuration files existing or settings got mixed up for whatever reason.
Before I did so, I renamed the matching *.plist file at my user's library/preferences folder to *.plist.old - but this did not bring any improvement (in fact, even no new plist file became created).

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest iTunes, but keep getting an error message C:\config.msi\7db625.rbfFor general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

ILife upgrade but keep old iMovie
I'm thinking of upgrading to the newest version of iLife and since my Mac's processor is not fast enough for the new iMovie, I am wondering if I will still have the option of just upgrading the other iLife apps but keeping my old version of iMovie? Will all the other new apps still be compatible with my old version of iMovie?
Currently I have iMovie HD installed.
Thanks,iMovie 08 is NOT an upgrade of iMovie 06. It is a completely new application. iMovie 08 is better for absolute beginners that don't want to burn a DVD. Most others will like iMovie 06 for its far greater editing power and ease of making DVDs. (Like creating Chapter Markers and Share to iDVD.)
Most owners of iLife 08 I know use iMovie 06.
iMovie 08 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the Internet.
Remember that Apple includes iMovie 06 is a free download to iLife 08 owners. (THEY WANT YOU TO HAVE IT!)

I'm trying to import photos from my iphoto library, but keep getting a message saying I cant import from 7.1.5, that I need to upgrade to 7.1.5 or later. But I have version 8.1.2. I don't know what to do. I've been able to import in the past.
Sounds like an issue with the iPhoto Library
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

How do I keep my email password from remaining in Preferences? I want to enter it every time I get my mail. I upgraded to OS M Lion but it won't let me delete it from preferences (the password from Account Info). Once you enter the password, it keeps it permanently. i do not want that. It's worked prior to using M. Lion. Any suggestions? Also, The other pressing issue i have is, I DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account. Instead of creating different user accounts for the MacBook, it's just easier this way. Or is it? If this is a permanent thing, then I may switch back to Lion. I guess I shoud've waited until the kinks were out before installing (**** Mac-head!)
Thank you all kindly for any suggestions & your time
Regards,
JCI DO NOT want ANY mail showing in my inboxes when Mail starts UNTIL i enter that password for each account.
That is simply not possible with Mail, and never has been. Anyone who uses your account can see all messages stored in Mail. The only true solution is to not let other people use your account. Let other people use the guest account, or if you share the machine with someone else, set up a separate user account for that person. This will also solve the problem of remembering the password. It will become a non-issue for Mail to remember your password if nobody else has access to your account. -
how come i was upgraded iso6 on my iPhone, but now I couldn't link up to iCloud, it keeps asking my icloud password then failed login. But my iPad upgraded it works!! how to solve my iPhone using iCloud?
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/). -

I'm trying to upgrade to the 4.3.4 when im downloading it states that it has 32 hours download time ( has Apple cheged this ) but keep getting a timed out error message err=3259, is there anything i can do (beside buy a mac)
You cant try this
Slide to Unlock Several users have been able to fix this issue by simply sliding the “Slide to Unlock” button on their iPhones before attempting the update.
Disable antivirus software. If you are using Windows, try temporarily disabling antivirus software before applying the update.
Disable firewall. Instructions for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Update router firmware. Check your router manufacturer’s website, and download and install any new updates for your wireless router. Alternatively, try plugging the ethernet cable directly into your computer.
As last resort download separately 4.3.4 http://appldnld.apple.com/iPhone4/041-1923.20110715.BnATg/iPhone3,1_4.3.4_8K2_Re store.ipsw and use Shift + Restore button on itunes. Then restore your settings and etc. from backup.
Remember to Beackup first, because Shift + Restore will make factory restore. -
Downloading the latest upgrades for Mac 10.8.2 keeps stalling. I still have Firefox 17.0.1. the system has tried many times but the process just hangs.
Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Hello, I want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks but it keeps telling me to free up space on my start up disk. I deleted many files and I still cannot download it. What do I do delete everything? I do not even know how to check for available space on my laptop...I know, I know. Anyone help me out if you can =)
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
You need at least 12 GBs of free space to install Mavericks plus another 6 GBs for the download.
Select your HDD icon. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the upper most panel you will see the information displayed: Capacity, Available, and Used. You want to know what's Available. -

How do I change the DNS settings to BC but keep the MX setting for emails?
How do I change the DNS settings to Business Catalyst but keep the MX settings for emails?
I'm basically created anew site using Muse and want to host it on BC and upgraded to the Web basics + to allow for hosting of downloadable pdf's etc.
There are up to 50+ emails address set up on the current set up and I want to just change the NDS settings for the domain to ponit to the new site/hosting an not have to worry about them chaning all the meail settings etc.
Records do I need to change in BC?
Thanks
IainHi,
You shouldn't need to do anything as long as you do not state hosting email with BC. Just ensure to check you DNS in a lookup tool that it's still referencing your external email service.
Otherwise you can set up external email set-up if the option is present.
