Upgrade to NOWS SBE from Novell SBS 6.6 - part 1
We bought an upgrade from Novell Small Business Suite 6.6 (NW6.5 + GW7 + 20 users) to NOWS SBE (OES11 + GW2012 + 15users, 15 users are currently enough).
The technical documentation I found that because of the incompatibility of different versions of OES and GW will need to upgrade procedure:
1. in-place upgrade to NW6.5 + GW8
2. migrate to OES11 + GW8
3. in-place upgrade to OES11 + GW2012
The upgrade procedure is bound queries on activation and license.
Will be server operational after step 1 if we have not a license to GW8?
Will be server operational after step 2 if we have not a license to GW8?
I ask because I do not know how long the migration will take
whether it will be necessary to use the server after step 1 or 2
And I'm not at all clear dependence server functionality on licenses,
activation, unlock, activation the credential or other,,, during the upgrade and migration.
I did not understand how many different license files, activation, unlock or something further, it is necessary for the correct running NOWS SBE(OES11+GW2012) with 15 users (or NW6.5+GW8 or OES11+ GW8)?
Im not found any document that would explain this.
Thank you in advance for any help, where the search for such information
bit late in the day - you've probably done this already !
I've done several upgrades (22 to be precise) from NW6.5 with GW7 in one
step
Clone / Mirror Netware Server - I use RAID1 so simply removing one hard disk
& put away (just incase !!)
Install OES11 into Tree
If using GWDMS - move the storage areas under the PO if you have external
storage areas
[external storage area still possible but you can run into problems
check GW databases
copy GW data over using DBcopy (this can be done in advance)
I've found EXT3 works well & less complications *** watch out for the NSS
experts shoot this down ***
as users don't need access to GW data directly {remember the site I work
with are small 10 users to 80 users - typicaly 40-50users)
Make changes GW paths in consoleone
Run DBcopy again
Shutdown Netware Server & OES11 Server
Start OES11 & make it the MASTER
install consoleone and groupwise
(on many installs I have had to manually copy the .DC files for the db's to
update correctly - reported to NTS)
no major problems

Is there anything from Novell in the MS SBS 2003 space??
All I see is OES and talk about 250 users....
Since 250 users is NOT "SMALL" regardless of Spreadsheet in use!
Is Novell now permanantly OUT of the Small Business space.
PS: by SMALL - I mean 50 users MAX (or 75) even 100 users
but NOT 250 users.Any port in a storm, right????
How goes all in the desert??

I have changed my apple id, and its ok when i sync my Iphone with Itunes, but ON my Iphone still my old apple-ID is there. I can NOT buy things from Itunes or Upgrade anything now, how to fix this?
I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

I upgraded to mountain lion from snow leopard, but now some of my applications do not work, most specifically I would like to use my photo studio, but now it tells me that powerpc is no longer supported. Does anyone have any fixes to this problem? I would really like to continue to use software that I already have! Thank you for your help!
PPC software will not work in Mountain Lion because there is no longer any Rosetta emulator. You will only be able to run your older software by creating another partition on your hard drive on which you can install Snow Leopard. It need not be a large partition since you can still keep your files and programs on the main partition. You could also install Snow Leopard on an external drive from which to boot the computer.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
After you create the new partition boot the computer from your Snow Leopard DVD and install Snow Leopard onto the new partition. -
I am a macbook pro user form last 2 yrs, recently i upgraded to Mountain Lion from Snow leopard. Since then operational speed is a major concern. Now It has crashed so very badly that I am scared of my data.Please help me.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. 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 main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -
I just upgraded to Firefox 8 -- from Internet Explorer.
Previously, I pulled up my emails from Start, Email-Microsoft Office Outlook.
I get no response doing that now.
How should I get my emails?If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
*Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export

I just upgraded my older G5 from tiger to leopard and it is now at 10.5.8, I was unaware that the new system did not support the classic envoirnment and cannot access my 6.0 version of Photoshop, which I use often...how do I get P.S. up and going again?
Niel...
I installed Leopard 10.5.6 and then it upgraded to 10.5.8, when I installed it I had the old info saved to a "previous systems" folder, where most of my artwork, etc. were saved, I have a one terabyte Lacie backup that unfortunately did not work as it was intended...it saved the new info and not the old. I did look into the system preferences folder and found the classic file, of course it wouldn't launch...but I have the old G 5 startup discs and will try to do it as you stated. I will try also to move it out of the previous folders file to my hard drive and see how that works.
thank you for your time and help,

Hi, I wanted to up upgrade my iPhone 4 from ios 4.1 to ios 5.1.1 and now i'm stuck in recovery mode and the restore doesn't work
I tried to restore with ios 5.1.1, with ios 5.0.1 and with ios 4.1
none is workingMcloulou34 wrote:
Oh my god, it finally worked ! I restored on an old PC and it worked !
Thanks anyway for your help.
But allow me to extend to you a simple reflexion about the jailbreak (even if my iPhone wasn't... except if my little cousin jailbreaked without me noticing the advantages or disadvantages) : Would you refuse an alcoholic trying to go to rehab ? Would you really let someone trying to restore a cellular phone die without it, because he went on the bad side a couple of years ?
Not a great analogy, but this is a user-to-user forum, and Apple will not allow discussion of jailbreaking; if someone tried to help with jailbreaking the message would be deleted. However, if you have a jailbroken phone Apple will generally not block a discussion of how to unjailbreak it. The only problem is that not all jailbroken phones can be restored successfully; it depends on the method of jailbreaking (which I can't discuss without THIS message being deleted). -
How to quickly upgrade to latest versin (from 8.0.0. to now:Version 8.2.5 10/5/2010)
I'm used AA8 (8.0.0)
how to quickly upgrade to latest versin , from 8.0.0. to (now:Version 8.2.5 10/5/2010)
if download all for each version, install, restart, install, restart...15 times install, 15 time restart windows.
is crazy step.
also, that Adobe Customization Wizard 8 can help me?
any idea please!You only need to reboot on the last install. You do not need to do the other restarts since you are simply making changes to the registry and adding files. For these changes to become current for running Acrobat you need to do the reboot at the end.
As far as faster, you might try the updates on the Help menu of Acrobat. Many of those are cummulative. If you see more than one, install the first one and then go back for the next one. -

I have purchased iPhone 3g device from my friend, I connected it to the iTunes to upgrade from 3.1 to 6.0 as many softwares were not being installed as iOS was not up to date. I upgraded but now I can not activate my device. What I should do now??? i am really feeling difficulty because i have been disconnected from the network.
I am from Pakistan.The 3G cannot be updated to iOS6, it can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Activation issues are generally the result of the device being hacked or jailbroken. -
Irecently upgraded my Iphone 3GS from 4.1 to 6.0 using Itunes. Now its showing me message that the phone cannot be activated. What can i do ? The phone was Jail Br
iPhones can be unlocked in the U.S. as well and in a number of countries - by the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked with, which doesn't require an Apple store and has nothing whatsoever to do with hacking an iPhone.
Hacking an iPhone is against the iOS license agreement, which you have violated.
If you think upgrading an iPhone isn't easy, I feel sorry for you. Upgrading an iPhone that hasn't been hacked to be unlocked or for any other reason is easy, but hacking as you have done can and does cause problems - you have severely altered the operating system making the iPhone as insecure as that swiss cheese for security garbage that is Windows and Android just for starters.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.
