Upgrade to OS 10.7 from 10.6.8

Why can't I upgrade my mac iOS from 10.6.8 to 10.7?

Your computer must have enough RAM memory and enough free drive space, as well as being modern enough to run 10.7 Lion.
Visit the Apple Online Store, and buy a 10.7 Lion redemption code, about US$20. This will be fulfilled by email in 1 to 3 days (it requires human intervention, so you will not get it over this Thanksgiving weekend).
The email will contain both a code and instructions, which will allow you to download 10.7 Lion from the Mac App Store. Once downloaded, it will remain on your "Purchases" page, and can be re-downloaded as long as Apple leaves it online. This software will be tagged with your Apple-ID, which may be required to re-download.
Many Users prefer to create a bootable Installer drive, and 8GB or larger thumb drive is the preferred medium. To do this, you must interrupt the process AFTER the download and Before the Install -- as the Installer is deleted after successful Install.
10.7 is intended to create a Recovery partition on the Boot Drive, which can be used to run Disk Utility or start a re-download and re-Install. Once updated to 10.7.3 or later, a copy of the Recovery partition is created on your Time Machine Volume as well.

  • Hi, I have an iphone 3GS from HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out! When I checked my backup file in Outlook Express it was also wiped out!!! What can I do now?

    Hi, I have an iphone 3GS purchased in HK. After upgrading to 4.3.3 from 4.3.2 as prompted by itunes on May 10, 2011 my entire contact in my iphone was wiped out. When I checked my backed up file in Outlook Express, it was also wiped out during the synchronization. I tried to restore from backup on iTunes but still, the contact was not there anymore. I have contacted your HK Apple Hotline and talked to a technical support called TIMMY LO, he said there is nothing to do with them and he refused to provide any support to recover my contact, he even said I should try to pay extra money to 3rd party supplier and see what they can do to my iphone, despite the fact that this could be caused by the pre-mature release of 4.3.3 when a bug still hasn't been fixed. I am very disappointed at Apple's service, especially considering that I have been a loyal customer of iphone / ipod touch in the past few years. I need an official reply from Apple on this! How can Apple be so irresponsible to their own firmware failure??

    Install more RAM in the computer; the Mac needs to have at least 2GB of RAM and should have 4GB or more first.

    1. in physical connections part can i use the same work schema
    2. Can i use same contexts created or do i need to create everything as new and then try?
    Thanks,
    Rp.
    Hi,
    As you mentioned that you just upgraded the database, so the data is same and schema is same you can connect with the same work schema.
    Yes, you can use the same contexts , but need to do Reverse Engineering for your new database.
    And about data server, i think you also have no need to create new data server, if hostname,sid and port etc are same as these were with R11(consult with your DBAs regarding it)

  • Upgrading to LR 3.2 from 2.6 - Should I use the LR 3 box?

    As I intend to upgrade to Lightroom 3.2 from 2.6, I wonder if I should use the upgrade box or donload a trial version and insert the key to be found in that box.
    There was a thread lelated to migration from LR 1.4 to 2.2 ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/1394503#1394503 ) that strongly suggested passing over 2.0
    What is best?

    It doesn't matter. The results are the same. Lightroom 3.2 is Lightroom 3.2 whether you download it or buy the box.

    I agree ... skip 2.0, although this seems irrelevant to your title and first paragraph.

  • X220: Cant Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi all,
    I cant seem to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on my X220.
    Originally during the install it states "This application wasn't installed - view details".
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0xc0000005"
    Then it states "Something happened and Windows 8.1 couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code 0x80246007"'
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Rambler

    Hi,
    According to your description, Windows 8 Operating System installed on your computer, right?
    Did you update to Windows 8.1 via Windows Store?
    If yes, follow Cyber_Defend_Team's suggestion, check if your computer meet the prerequisite.
    After that, try to install Windows 8.1 for test.
    If the issue persists, according to this blog to troubleshoot:
    Something happened and the install of Windows 8.1 can't be completed. (And now you're annoyed)

  • Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

    Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

    Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks".  Send it to the trash and delete it.  Then try the download again.

    Hardmac.com has post a step-by-step guide on how to upgrading a MacBook Core Duo from 802.11g to 802.11n using an 802.11n card from the Mac Pro desktop. The upgrade was also tested and confirmed to work with the AirPort Extreme 802.11n at 802.11n speed.
    There is no reason that a similar upgrade shouldn't also work with the MacBook Pro.

    Interesting how the Apple 802.11n Enabler installed on the MacBook with no problems using the CD that comes with the AirPort Express.
    I must try that.

  • Upgrade to ECC 6.0 from 4.7. OSS Notes implementation

    Hi,
    We have upgraded the R/3 system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. I am looking into the SPAU Note corrections and it has a huge list of Notes to be implemented. I think some of these would have been already included in the upgraded version but is there a way to cross verify this. As of now I am comparing the support packages going into each Notes. But this is a huge list.
    Do any one has a effective approach to share?
    Thanks in advance.
    With Regards,
    Roopesh

    If you use SPAU, it will take care of the notes "already in the support package" and "to be implemented". Just click on the icon in front of the note number, the system will download the newest version of the note and check, if it´s still valid.
