Upgrading from SL to ML: Instructions/Options list?

HI.
Been using SL and very happy with the stability and good use.
I have purchased ML and my machine can be upgraded. I'm just a nervous cookie about doing it. I wouldn't, except a lot of my favorite Applications have either stopped updating for SL or will be doing so soon. They all appear to at least support ML.
I know I could go to MAV (free), but I am really, really nervous about that. Having to deal with ML (the autosave feature, versions, etc. - just dragging my feet!)
Anyway, I need a really good Instruction and Option list. Things I need to do before, during, and after. Maybe even something I could print.
I have Time Machine backups, separate backups of data, etc.
So far from what I've read, I want to do a CLEAN install, and during Setup transfer ALL users. Correct?
Thanks for help.

Firstly, you don't have to transfer users because you are upgrading one machine, not moving to a new machine. Secondly, there's not much to be nervous about if you take some precautions.
1. Repair your hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility. You must first boot from your Snow Leopard DVD to do this.
2. Get a freshly erased external drive and make a cloned backup of your current system. You also use Disk Utility for this while booted from the Snow Leopard DVD.
3. Use your redemption code to download Mountain Lion from the App Store.
4. Upgrade your computer.
Note that you DO NOT need to do a CLEAN install.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

Upgrading from Evening call offer to Option 3

Recently my mother switched us from TalkTalk to BT broadband offer package, this comes with 10Gb a month and that is almost used up already since the start of the month according to my network monitor on my computer.
Therefore I am wondering if there is a way to get to option pack 3 with JUST the unlimited bandwidth upgrade, no need for a new home hub or extra McAfee security, I manage the household security well enough with the current software as is.
I went to get a preview of the monthly cost of this package via the order page, and it came to £41.28 a month?! This included the option 3 pack and the line rental. I'm assuming this is the normal price if I want to upgrade? I just assumed the price of the Broadband would just go up a fair but and I'd pay the first month in advance of £19.99.
Help before I bother calling the sales advisers?

Hi, I've just purchased and installed an upgrade from Lightroom 4 to 5. It doesn't seem to handle raw files authored with a new Nikon D750 camera. I spoke to the sales rep about this and he gave me a link to the 8.6 DNG converter page with instructions to download. 8.6 only works with Mac OS 10.7-10.9, according to the page. I'm running Yosemite, Mac 10.10. Please can you tell me my options? Lightroom 4 worked beautifully with my older cameras' raw files so I would like to continue using the application. What should I do? How soon will Lightroom 5 be able to deal with raw files from a D750. Many thanks, Adam.

Until the next version of Lightroom is released, you need to use the DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG and then import the DNGs into Lightroom.

Upgraded from vista to windows 7 not seeing music list

I upgraded from vista to windows 7. When I sync my iPhone 4 I am not seeing my music listed nor my apps in the list. I had backed up my entire computer to my external hard drive and copied everything over to iTunes. But not showing up in any lists when I connect my phone???? Any ideas?

Hi,
I'm am used to working on Mac's but u don't think my advice will hurt.
iTunes reads your hard drive for songs and compiles a song list for them.
It then stores this data as your ituneslibrary.plist file.
In the file drop down menu you should have an option to select library.
Try reelecting your iTunes library icon and then it should reload your iTunes with playlists and play counts etc

Lightroom 5 upgrade killed my workflow. What options are left for importing by reference from a flash card?

I just upgraded from Lightroom 1 to Lightroom 5.
I no longer see the option ~"Import from disk"
The application just magically decides what I am importing from.
Unfortunately, this used to be my workaround for keeping my workflow streamlined.
The import from disc option would allow me to import my flash card by reference
into a temporary catalog that would be active only until a full flash card
was archived. This temporarily catalog was used to delete rejects from my
flash card in a Lightroom-leveraged fashion. Once the latest photo update
on the card was clean, I would import by copy into a permanent catalog.
This meant:
-Always two copies of images once I got back to base
-Ability to leverage develop tools in determining rejects
-No having to make a list of rejects and then deleting them separately
on the camera or through the OS
I see no way to do this with Lightroom 5 and Mac OS X.
I understand the problem might be coming from the OS change that happened
at the same time, but since ~"import from disk" is no longer in the menu, I am
suspecting the change is from the application itself.
I could probably find out the answer to my question through a bunch of experimenting,
but I thought I would float the question in an attempt to save time.
I'm not sure if I can run two versions of Lightroom at the same time on a Mac OS X
machine, but If I can, is this the only way to maintain my workflow?
Dave

"we have serious concerns about customers accidentally importing referenced files from a card that is subsequently reformatted in the camera"
I understand. So bury the option under the, "Only use if you really know what you are doing. You could destroy everything." heading, Or even as an external file of settings for people who know what they are doing. The point is this has forced me to take a step backward in my workflow which was already a workaround from what I really wanted. Ideally I have wanted all along:
-Import from flash card to main catalog by copy *and* a special-use link back to the flash card file for each image in the catalog
-When deleting rejected photos from the catalog, I would have a third option to delete rejected photos from the flash card.
This way, I avoid not only the new problems created by the Lightroom 5 upgrade, but I would be reducing my imports from two to one. With a slow USB connection, there were advantages in only importing by reference on the first import, but since things tend to run faster these days, I think I would come out ahead overall now.

How to get metadata option list values derived from a table/view using SOAP

I am writing an ASP.NET application that replicates some of the features of the SCS search interface. I have looked at the GET_DOC_METADATA_INFO service and its SOAP output. It has a few missing pieces of information, like the option list values for a field if that fields values are derived from a separate table/view. Some of the fields I am dealing with also make use of Dynamic Control Lists (DCL). Is there a way to get the DCL info using SOAP? I did notice that the dOptionListKey element contains the name of the view from which the option list values will be derived. However, I cannot find a service that takes the view name as a parameter to return the option list values. I have looked in the services reference manual, but I have not had any luck finding what I am looking for.
TIA

Hello,
What error you are getting? You code seems to be ok. I have tested below code and working fine
XPathNavigator rTable = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
String ddlSectionSelectedValue = Convert.ToString(rTable.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:ddlSection", NamespaceManager).Value);
One think you can check that keep dropdown value display name and id same.

Reason I had to chat with Customer Support is that I got the following message upon placing Upgrade Order.

Upgrade from Broadband option 1 to option 2 - Help...

I'm confused!
Today I upgraded from option 1 to 2, and shortly after received a welcome email with my new username/email address! I don't want to change these, all I want to do is increase my monthly allowance from 10gb to 40gb! The email also says that my password has not changed, however when I use the new username and my existing password the login fails. My old/existing email and password still works as usual, so where does this new username come into it? I do not want to end up losing my existing email address and associated sub accounts. Please could I have some clarification from a mod!
Andy

have you tried the online chat or go back to uk sales and get them to fix it 08007830056
if none of that works then you can contact mods yourself using http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

Best option for upgrading from 3g to 4g. Amazon yes or no?

I currently have 2 smartphones on a 3g unlimited plan, a Samsung Fascinate and a Droid X. I want to get a Galaxy S3 and Droid DNA to replace them. I've seen both phones on Amazon for 30 and 50 bucks respectively when upgrading.
What's my best option here? I understand that you can grandfather a 3g unlimited to 4g unlimited but only if you buy the new phone for Full price from Verizon. If I were to switch to a tiered plan, should I change the plan first, then buy the Amazon phones? Or would that incur extra charges and more plan changes? Any known caveats/problems for using Amazon to upgrade the phone?

Yes, you CAN keep that unlimited data plan even if you move to 4G.
Here's a good article to read:

They advise you to do it in the store. Don't finalize anything until you are CERTAIN they've done it right and you still have your unlimited plan.

Where are you seeing that information? Got a link?
According to the Adobe website: Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) compatibility FAQs | CC, CS6, Acrobat
Plenty of people, including me, are currently running CC on Mavericks.
