Upgrade to the Final LR4 Version

I have been using LR4 now for a few week now. I just returned from the a holiday and used LR4 for all my editing.
Will I be able to upgrade to the final version of LR4 without losing all the work that I have done on my photos.
I wanted to use my old PSE 9 as a "backup" but dragging the photo across does not help because the photos reverts to the original losing the changes/edits in the process.

Why the diversion to TIFF?
I would assume that if I save my changes to the xmp-part of the file (sidecar or embedded, depending on file type), they can get read again.
If I just convert my LR4beta-catalog to LR4final I might get some tweaks in develop, for auto-highlights, I would expect - crystal-ball-guessing from other threads that this is the area where the Adobe engineers might finetune according to feedback.
If I don't like that, I will invoke the command "Read metadata from file", to overwrite the upgraded LR4-catalog settings with the xmp-content.
It remains to be seen if this will result in a different translation of the edits than the upgrade from LR4b to LR4f.
But somehow *old* or *foreign* xmp-data are read as well, and not overriden by default LR. At least that is my understanding, for several generations of LR already: existing metadata will be imported and shown, while own defaults will be applied for new imports without metadata. Or once I start to do new develops, e.g. a reset.
So do I really need to go to TIFF to preserve my current LR4b-results?

You say you have iOS 7. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum

TS3899 After upgrading to the latest IOS version 7.1, in mail on ipad, if I select more than 5 mail items to delete the mail software package crashes and I have to relaunch mail? Anyone else noticed this?

I haven't encountered this problem on my iPad Air but this is what I usually do when Mail misbehaves.
Quit the Mail app like I describe then reset the iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart.

I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos.

Backup first
It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
Erase before the install
Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
During the install
Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
OS numbers and names
OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
OS X 10.7.x - Lion
OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard

Important
Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

Where can I find the CC upgrade for the Middle Eastern version of InDesign?

I'm a current Creative Cloud subscriber and would like to upgrade from the CS6 version of InDesign to the new, CC version. However, I am using the Middle Eastern (ME) version instead of the default. When I navigate to the "Download Center" on the Creative Cloud website, I can only find - what appears to be - the download for the standard version.
Can someone point me in the direction, or share a link, to the InDesign ME CC upgrade?
Thank you, in advance, for your time and help.

Is that "preferences" on the Creative Cloud page somewhere, within InDesign itself, or somewhere else?
I'm guessing it's inside of the InDesign CC program itself, as I don't see it on the website anywhere.

Upgrading to the no Beta version

Hello.
I have a Beta release of Solaris 10 installed on a dual boot machine. When the final release of 10 comes out, how do I upgrade the Beta to full release ?
Regards
Stephen Gray

Note that upgrade is not currently supported from any of the Beta
releases to the final (3/05) Solaris 10 release. Methods such
as tradtional upgrade or Live Upgrade may appear to work but
they're not supported and there are known issues around using
them.

I have a license for Photoshop 6.0. How do I upgrade to the latest PS version?

I have the license I paid in the past. How do I upgrade to the latest versions? Is it free of charge?
Thanks

If you mean photoshop 6 from around 2001, then ps 6 is way out of the upgrade loop.
The latest version of photoshop is cc 2014 available by subscription only.
Photo editor | Download free Adobe Photoshop CC trial
Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
There is also photoshop cs6, which you can buy outright, but no upgrade discount for having ps 6.

How come I can't log in using aim once i upgraded to the newest iTunes version?

I just downloaded and installed the latest iTunes version and I logged off the iTunes store and tried to log back on but it would not let me. Anyone knows why and how to fix it?

you may want to email itunes support and see if there's any outstanding balances that haven't been paid off.
if there isn't anything you owe to itunes then maybe they can just remove the old credit card from the account since you can't seem to verify it.

Do I have to uninstall Firefox4 Beta manually once the final FireFox4 version is released?

Can I just update Firefox4 Beta to the latest Firefox 4 stable (once released) the same way I update Firefox3.6, or will I have to manually uninstall it to avoid having two FireFox browsers?

On regard to this,I was wondering what happens if a beta user eventually reinstalls Firefox from scratch when the final release comes out , just to start with a fresh install:is there a way to stay on the beta channel?
