Upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5 Finder wont launch

I updated my G5 from 10.4.11 to 10.5 using the default install on the 10.5 dvd.
Trying to restart gets all the way to bkground pattern & applications visible in the dock & the clock working but it never gets all the way to launching the desktop. Just the spinning colored wheel.
How do I complete this install?

If in 10.4.11 you had "haxies" installed (APE Manager, WindowShade, FruitMenu, Labels X, for example), you will likely have the problem you described. They are all incompatible with Leopard.
You must then restart from a bootable backup, or your Leopard install DVD, and nuke these by hand.

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back. I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for. Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.

You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

I just upgraded from PSE8 to 11 and can't find my catalog to convert.

I just upgraded from PSE 8 to 11 and can't find my catalog to convert. I watched the Manage My Catalog instruction video, but my old catalog doesn't show in the box. When I browse the DATA1 and DATA11 files in my PSE 8 folder the dialog box does not recognize them as catalogs. I assume the catalog is one of these file, since they contain over 16,000 entries, which is how many photos I had in PSE8.
What am I missing? How do I find and convert my old catalog?

Sometimes catalog conversion fails. It’s often a question of needing full permission settings and the easiest way to make it work is as an administrator directly from the desktop which bypasses the welcome screen background processes.
Make a shortcut for organizer as follows:
On Windows right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose New >> Shortcut
Browse to Computer OS C:
Find the PSE Organizer application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
C: >> Program Files (x86) >> Adobe >> Elements 11 Organizer
Within the Elements 11 Organizer folder find the application PhotoshopElementsOrganizer (not Photoshop Elements 11.0)
Select (highlight) PhotoshopElementsOrganizer and click Next
Then click Finish.
Now right-click on your new desktop icon and choose “Run As Administrator” Then authorize by clicking yes in the User Account Control dialog.
From the Organizer menu click:
File >> Manage Catalogs
Then click the “Convert” button
Select your desired catalog from the list of previous versions of PSE to highlight it then click the “Convert” button down below it
You should receive a message when the conversion has been successfully completed and your earlier catalog will be automatically re-named. Choose the new name from the list and click the “Open“ button and you are good to go.

Upgrade from 10.7.1 to 10.7.4 wont install after download. Please help!

I'm using MacBook Pro 13-inch, early 2011 running 10.7.1. I want to upgrade to 10.7.4 but the system discarded the upgrade after I successfully downloaded it. Please help!

You need the Combo Update to go from 10.7.1 to 10.7.4.

I upgraded from E12 to E13 but can't find my NIK plug in on the new E13

Any ideas?

Are you using Windows 64bit? If you have the original download or email from Google it's best to run the installer again as PSE12 will have the 32 bit version of Nik Collection.

Upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger, now Finder keeps restarting itself

Okay I just upgraded only because I needed to upgrade applications that require me to use Tiger. Now that I am done upgrading everything seems to work okay, except every 1-2 minutes the finder keeps flipping out, like it's force-quiting itself, and if I'm working in a program, even as I am typing this, the finder refreshes itself and opens a window that I had already closed.
Why is this happening - please help, it's driving me crazy!

First, check your third-party contextual menu items. If you have any incompatible CMMs they can cause the problem. Remove them or replace them with ones that are universal binaries and compatible with Tiger.
Download a utility such as TinkerTool System and use it to clear user, system, and font caches.

Upgrading from iMovie Questions

I need to upgrade from iMovie -- need to because I'm finding that iMovie is somewhat unreliable regarding some of its 'known issues.'
So ...
I'm trying to figure out what the key differences are between FC Pro and Express. I'm willing to endure any 'learning curve' differences, I just want to figure out if there are any features in the Pro edition that I'll never use and weigh the differences.
1. Is there any matrix you can point to that does this comparison?
2. Is there a 'Final Cut Express Studio' that includes all of the software in Final Cut Pro Studio or do they have to be purchased individually.
3. Are both FC Pro and Express devoid of the 'known issues' that can make working with iMovie somewhat unreliable?
Thanks for your feedback.

I found a comparison article here: http://camcorders.about.com/od/videoediting/a/FinalCutCompare.htm
Final Cut Express HD also gives you Soundtrack 1.5 and LiveType 2 for $299.
To get Final Cut Pro, you must by Final Cut Studio for $1299. With this you also get SoundTrack Pro (different from SoundTrack 1.5), Motion, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, and the same version of LiveType (I think).
You cannot buy Final Cut Pro, SoundTrack Pro, Compressor, Motion, and DVD Studio Pro individually.
Since you cannot buy DVD Studio Pro individually, if you buy FCE HD you'd still need to use iDVD (or Toast) to author a DVD Video.
You won't find the same "known issues" as iMovie. There will be different "known issues" as no software package is perfect. Your biggest issue will probably be the learning curve but you can overcome that.

Formatting lost following upgrade from Dreamweaver 3 to CS4

Hi there
I've recently upgraded from Dreamweaver 3 to CS4 but now find that quite a bit of my formatting has been altered, particularly with tables. Does anyone know if there's an easy way to remedy this throughout my site or do I have to go into every page and manually change font sizes etc?
Many thanks'
Chrissie

Hey thanks John
Here's the home page: www.maristrugby.org.nz
I've uploaded a 'converted' (to CS4) page, it's very messy but I've loaded it up for now so that you can see the problems I'm having:

Hopefully there will be a relatively 'easy' answer!
Thanks again

Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive. Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Can't print from IE 8 after upgrading from Vista to Windows 7

My laptop (HP Elitebook 8530w) uses two HP printers: Color LaserJet CP3525x (at work) and Deskjet 6940 (at home). Both printers are accessed across a local network.
I recently upgraded from Vista Enterprise to Windows 7 Enterprise.
Everything still prints fine (from Word, Adobe Reader, Windows Photo Viewer, etc.), except for IE 8! When I try to print a web page from IE, it prints only the page header, and otherwise the sheet is empty. This symptom occurs on both printers. (And of course this worked fine before the upgrade.)
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.

If anyone else is having this problem, I found the solution on another forum (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/InternetExplorer/thread/920588e5-ccc4-4e24-83d6-606...).
Specifically, the following steps solved the problem:
1. If it doesn't already exist, create a directory named "Low" in your directory "C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\".
2. From a command prompt, issue this command: ICACLS C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp\Low /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

Fields in read-only mode for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC6.0

Hello,
This is regarding the query for BP transaction in upgrade from 4.72 to ECC 6.0.
While creating BP / Changing BP system is disabling the fields in compnay code & sales area option. There is a SAP not provided 907860; and specified that the proplem is because of the delta customizing.
All the customization settings are as per the note. And the Synchronization Control is also activated. But still the fields are disabled only.
I have checked the field settings also in Cross-Application-Components & Logistic-Genral.
But these are not working for compnay code & sales area data.
please let me know if anyone has faced this type of problem / found any solution on this.
Best Regards,
Shubhada

SAP IMG -> Cross Application Components -> Master Data Synchronization  Synchronization Control -> Synchronization Control -> Activate Synchronization options
This setting allows you to activate synchronization of BP with R/3. Not maintaining the values may result in certain fields being read-only in BP.
Suggested Values:
Source Object: BP | Target Object: CUSTOMER | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: BP | Target Object: VENDOR | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: CUSTOMER | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Source Object: VENDOR | Target Object: BP | Active Indicator : X
Have you set all of the above settings??
