Upgrading from OS 8 to OS 8.5 and then to 8.6.

Hello,
I would like to know, please, if I need to reinitialize my hard drive on a Performa 6220 CD (Power Pc) in order to install OS 8.5 over my OS 8.0 and the subsequent upgrde to OS 8.6? I do not know if a computer this old will allow OS 9.0 and I need to get an operating system that will put "Apple Remote Access" into my control panels. I realize it is part of the Open Transport system which is way above my head. I am trying to set up this computer with a dial-up ISP for a friend, and I can never find plain old "Apple Remote Access" in the control panels for which the ISP help line personnel keep asking. I am using a 56K Supra Express modem, but cannot make a connection. Please, does anyone have suggestions? Thank you.
6220 CD   Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier  

Your computer is able to run Mac OS up to 9.1. If you were to install 9.1 I would recommend re-initializing the hard drive during the installation process.
As far as I recall you do not need to reformat the hard drive to install 8.5, but changes were made with the SCSI Manager so it's a good idea to at least update the drivers using Drive Setup. This is non-destructive, but it's still a good idea to backup beforehand.

  • R/3 upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and BW upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0

    Is there a reason to upgrade Solution Manager from 3.2 to 4.0 when upgrading R/3 from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and BW upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0?
    And when in current situation Unicode UTF8 is used, could that give problems during / after the upgrade?

    Hello ALex,
    There is not a must to upgrade also your solman 3.2 when you upgrade your satellites, only consider if you need the solman diagnostic or not and also that the new functionality in solman 4.0.
    Which system is unicode, the satellite?
    There is also not problems having a non-unicode solman with unicode satellites and the other, having a unicode-solman "linked" to unicode-satellites.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT6065 I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    The answer was more complicated.  I had to have an Apple Care tech help me onscreen.  Had to go to Time Machine to restore (which I had tried, but couldn't find the right files to import.  The Mail icon was barred).  They helped me find them.  It was very complicated, with many steps involved.  I never could have figured it out on my own.  Even the tech was not sure how, or if it would work. And it took about 1/2 hour for the stuff to download. But, the problem was solved eventually
    .  Thanks again for your help!

  • If i upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion and do a Time-Machine-Backup, is it possible to restore my mac on Mountain Lion?

    If i upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion and do a Time-Machine-Backup before, is it possible to restore my mac on Mountain Lion with this Backup made on Snow Leopard?
    Thx guyz

    You don't need to restore anything.
    Just upgrade.  That replaces Snow Leopard with Mountain Lion, without disturbing anything else.
    But by all means, always keep up-to-date backups, in case something goes wrong.

  • Is there a step by step guide on upgrading from leopard to lion inlcuding data backup and migration?

    is there a step by step guide on upgrading from leopard to lion inlcuding data backup and migration?

    Let me just give you the breakdown:
    Snow Leopard (10.6) needs to be purchased. You need Snow Leopard because it has the Mac App StoreAlternatively, you could get the Lion USB drive, but much more expensive
    Once you have installed Snow Leopard, open the Mac App Store and find OS X Lion. This downloads OS X Lion Installer. After the download finishes, click on it, follow the steps and the installation begins!
    No data will be lost during any of the upgrades
    Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • Trying to install the newest version of itunes on my pc and am getting  "program cant start because msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer"  reinstalling doesnt work.  and then it says error 7 (windows error 126)

    trying to install the newest version of itunes on my pc and am getting  "program cant start because msvcr80.dll is missing from your computer"  reinstalling doesnt work.  and then it says error 7 (windows error 126).  Any help would be appreciated.  Using Windows 7 enterprise on an hp Z600

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

    Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
    If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
    To remove the image capture preferences:
    If Aperture is running, quit Aperture,  and log off and on again.
    Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/  then hit return.
    In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
    and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture  something .plist  remove them too.
    then try again.
    And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
    ~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
    You can reveal it also  from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > Go,   then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why when I export photos from I photo to the desk top , and then to a CD they end up as alis  and some are not really there?

    Why? Because of something you are doing wrong - however unless you actually tell us what you are doing - and what version of iPhoto you have - and any other detail that might help no one can even gess.
    Exactly how are you exporting? Are the photos successfully exported to the desktop? How are you moving to the CD? why do you think they are not there?

  • Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?

    Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?
