Upgrading to Tiger... but which version?

Hi, I want to upgrade my 12" PowerBook G4 (1.33GHz) from Panther to Tiger. Should I purchase and install an older version (e.g., one that was available when my PB was released) or should I buy the most recent version of Tiger I can?
Many thanks.
Lloyd

That's because your question was too easy, try again
Also, be sure to buy the full retail install disk, the black one with the "X", not a gray one that is an original disk that shipped with someone's system as they are model specific.
EDIT: I don't recommend buying there, just for a picture reference.

Upgrade to tiger and which version of iLife

Hi
My Mum has an emac and I'm wanting to upgrade it from Panther to Tiger for her, just wondering what version of iLife do I need to purchase to make iLife compatible with Tiger.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers Jen

Hi Jen
There is a table on this page that has the details.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILife
iLife 06 is only available secondhand I think.
Also as your question is about software, you may consider the 10.4 forum. They would have better advice for you 'over there' than I could give you.

I need to connect to my work PC remotely from my macbook. I think I need the citrix software. But which version and what is the procedure?

I need to connect to my work PC remotely from my macbook. I think I need the citrix software. But which version and what is the procedure?

Probably don't need citrix software. Is you computer in the office on LAN? Also, is the office computer setup for remote access? If it's windows then its going to be running Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) natively. If it is in fact RDP that your windows machine at work is using then you need to download RDC for mac. I use it to connect to my work computer using RDP (don't tell the "Info Tech" dude at my office) and if your not too tech savvy I would suggest trying GOTOMYPC. It's alot easier to setup. But if you have experience in setting up remote access and your Windows office machine is connected through LAN and your IT TECH has allowed port forwarding then you should be just fine with RDP and it's free!!! But are you logging onto your actual computer at work or logging into the "SERVER" through your work machine... believe me it's two completely different things.
Basically, you'll need:
1. Physichal IP address of work computer. (If office computer is on WIFI this won't work) use IPCONFIG commands in command prompt
2. Port forwarding needs to be enabled by your IT Tech
3. Remote Desktop settings will need to be enabled on the office computer
4. Download RDC for mac (search google)
5. Type the physical IP address into RDC and hit connect... type in credentials and your all done.
We need lots more details though... there are many ways to connect remotely and if your office already has a system in place for remote access then any details would be helpful in determining which method will suit you best. If it's citrix just have your IT dude set it up. If you think you need citrix then good luck....

I want to download the 1080p film version via iTunes on my PC for my iPad 3. But which version am I getting ?

I've just bought a new iPad and want to give it a run through with a 1080p movie, so I chose Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I have a ceiling on my broadband download of 20GB/month. I wanted to download the movie once onto my PC via iTunes and then sync it to the iPad and potentially to my iPhone 4S. However, when I think I've done this download, I look and it appears, by the size of the download I've just got the SD version on my PC. I've subsequently gone back in and checked the box in my preferences to prefer 1080p to 720p. Does iTunes, take a look at the hardware you are downloading to and make a judgement call as to whether it is up to running 1080p ? (My PC is) I've looked a bit more closely at the boxes on my PC iTunes and indeed the buy HD box is grayed out, even I clicked the HD option on the film, and more confusing is the fact that in the HD description there is only a 720p version listed. Now when I go to my iPad, which I synced, there is a 1080p version listed there in the iTunes store, and it tells me that the film is downloaded to my iPad. So does anyone know which version I have on my iPad, and why on my PC version of iTunes (which is 10.6.1.7) there is only a 720p version listed, whereas on the iPad version of the store there is a 1080p version listed ? I guess the moral of the story is download via the device you actually want to use - but I'd prefer not to download multiple versions of the film for different devices and prefer not to download such large files over wifi.

It seems you have not admin privileges on your pc. However, to circumvent that try the following. Right click your favorite browser and choose run as admin. Download the computers appropriate itunes version (32 or 64 bit) from apple's website. Again right click the downloaded installation program and choose run as admin. This should install it.

Hello
I have moved this thread to the Software Logistics forum (this is not a PI technical issue). You have a better chance of getting a quality answer to your query if it is opened in the correct forum. I think the Software Logistics is the best forum for this issue.

Boot Camp, Partitioning, Windows (but which version?) and FrontPage

Hi there,
I have an iMac purchased in August of 2009. I need to install Windows in order to use FrontPage for updating websites. I tried partitioning the iMac using Boot Camp, and I installed WindowsXP, SP2, 32 bit, but it was a copy of an original install disk. When installing XP, only one partition was recognized, and that partition wasn't labeled "Boot Camp." I then proceeded to have all kinds of problems, such as getting a black screen with a message reading insert bootable disk and press any key. Using the forums, I was able to solve that problem and all is well again, although still no Windows on my iMac!
I called customer care, and a very helpful senior technician (Amy) told me that my problem was that I was not using an original install disk. A copy of an original install disk would not work. She also said I should use a NON OEM version of a Windows XP, Vista or 7 install disk.
I have several questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with:
1) *Has anyone else successfully used a copied install disk to install Windows on an iMac using Boot Camp?*
2) *Has anyone else successfully used an OEM original install disk to install Windows on an iMac using Boot Camp?* I'm finding a lot of original Windows operating disks for purchase from places like Circuit City, etc., but everything is OEM.
3) Should I just spend around $200 and buy Windows7 and go from there?
All I really need Windows on the iMac for is so that I can continue to use FrontPage for updating websites. I am willing to consider moving to a program that is Mac based. However, iWeb is way too basic, and DreamWeaver is way too complex (to say the least). *Does anyone have recommendations for Mac based software for website design and publishing?* I've looked at RapidWeaver, but I'm not sure this is quite robust enough for my needs.
Thanks!

Upgrading to Tiger AFTER installing PHP 5

Upgrading OS X to Tiger disabled PHP 5 for me, and I'm posting this in case it helps anyone with a similar setup. I have seen posts elsewhere on editing the Apache config file to re-enable PHP 4 after upgrade to Tiger, but the instructions there didn't work for re-enabling PHP 5.
One small caveat. I'm not a professional programmer and have little experience with command lines, so I have a little trepidation giving advice to others. But what I did here worked, so I guess it's okay.
After the upgrade to Tiger, PHP wasn't running, and PHP files would display in my Web browser as text. Apparently, Tiger installs PHP 4 and an Apache config file that points to that installation, ignoring whether or not PHP 5 might be present. It doesn't overwrite PHP 5, it just points the server back to the earlier version. Re-enabling PHP 4 left me unable to connect to my MySQL 5 databases, producing this error: "Client does not support authentication protocol." This is because PHP 4 doesn't have the MySQL library that PHP 5 has.
Following is what I did. Using BBEdit, I chose File > Open Hidden and opened Macintosh HD/private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf, which is the Apache Web server configuration file. I changed three lines.
The first is line 240 in my file:
#LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so
Remove the hash mark at the beginning of the line and change it to:
LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so
NOTE: I installed PHP 5 from Marc Liyanage's installer. If you installed it another way, this path may not work for you. You need to find the path to the "libphp5.so" file and enter that here.
The second line is line 284 in my file:
#AddModule mod_php4.c
Again, remove the hash mark, and change it to:
AddModule mod_php5.c
Finally, near the end, in line 1079 in my file:
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
Change to:
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
Save and close the file. Go to System Preferences > Sharing > Services. Click on Personal Web Sharing and click Stop. When the server stops (it should take only a second), click Start. When the control panel says that Personal Web Sharing is on, test your PHP 5 files that connect to MySQL 5 databases. They should work now.

Will a CS4 upgrade work with educational license version of CS3?

I would like to upgrade to CS4 but my version of CS3 is an educational license. I don't want to pay for an upgrade if it will not work with an educational license. Will I run into problems?

I just installed it and ran it fine. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Make sure it is a clean install from a fresh "boot". I ran into problems the first time when I tried to install it right after I installed another program. I simply uninstalled it.....which took a long long time, but after it was removed and I rebooted, everything went fine.

Which version of the E71 do I have?

I bought a E71 from Expansys via Amazon UK back in October, and it has the product code 0568325. But which version of the E71 is this? I ask because I thought I had the unbranded generic UK version of the handset, which is what I wanted, but I may have a varient made for the Carphone Warehouse. I've been trying to upgrade to the latest firmware but NSU stays resolutely stuck on version 110. Is there a list of the various product codes anywhere?

type in *#0000# to see what version you are then use the nokia software updater to see if there is a firmware update available for your handset
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

Upgrade to Tiger ,,, what is gained ,,,

My G4 power book works well enough at OS X 10.39 , Now my nikon NX , Capture , Photomatix , just shuts down 20% of the time. I cant load the newer Safari version if I don't upgrade. I'm mostly email / photo- post processing.
Can I dump all the 'I-life i-dontcare " options , to keep the resource robbing to a minimum ?
1.5 GHZ 1.25G ram super drive is still above min.system requirement .Is there a different disc for laptops VS desktops ? Anyone done this lately ?
Wondering if I should just stay with what I have ?
Thanks Hans K.

Hello Hans K.
Go here for minimum requirements for Tiger: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
I have the PBG4 1Ghz, 640MB DDR SDRAM running 10.4.11 since Tiger came out without any major glitches at all. (I probably just jinxed myself by saying that LOL)... You should be able to upgrade to Tiger but there is a glitch. Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).Go here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2571
You can delete the iLife application if you don't use it. I take it you don't use iPhoto??? You have a SuperDrive, so you can burn to DVD if you want.. that's a huge plus with these PBookG4's ...
Something to keep a close eye on... available disk space. If you have the 40GB drive... here's a tip: Select the MacintoshHD icon on your Desktop, then Command + I, that will open the Get Info window. Look at the General tab, click the arrow so it faces down, you will see: Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% to 20% free drive space. Very important on these smaller drives. The closer you are to the minimum, the slower your PB will run.
That's my 2¢ ...

I need to upgrade but don't know which version I have to get. Do I have to go through each lower version or can I go straight to 10.8 then get free MAverick upgrade? I live FAR from Apple store, so download upgrade is preferred. :)

Need a newer version of Os to run printer and software. Confused if I need to get which version to be able to upgrade to MAverick for free. Also, need something I can download since Apple store is far away.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
or Mountain Lion:

Need to reinstall illustrator CS5 upgrade but original version I have is Illustrator 10 which is only supported by Classic

I had my hard drive replaced on my imac. I now need to reinstall illustrator and Photoshop CS5 upgrades. The original full version of these was Ill10 and Photoshop 6 which were only supported by Classic OS9 which is no longer on my computer. How do I go about installing these without that?

What OS X version is on the iMac? Classic can only be used with Tiger OS 10.4 and lower.
The OS 9 installer is on the install disc that came with your iMac.

I have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly

i have ip 3gs and ios 4.1 i want to upgrade it to download latest version of apps ,which ios will be compatible and is there any danger to update ios before i erased all settings and content and i tried to update but it failed .it is working properly but i want to update from itunes.iwill do back up but is there any other thing i will face after updating like it will jut show apple loge and will not work. please answer quickly

An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard on a G5 Dual processor early 2004 version

I am about to upgrade my OS from Tiger (10.4.11) to the newest version of Leopard on my Dual G5 PPC. I have an ATI Radeon X800 XT video card as well as a third party PCI firewire card added. 3.5G of RAM.
Should I expect any bumps or issues when upgrading? Also, will my system perform the same, slower or faster after install?
I am a heavy user of Aperture, Photoshop as well as Final Cut Express. I will be installing the newest version of Fotomagico once 10.5 is set up.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Pete

You should verify that all your critical software can run under Leopard or that there are upgrades available. Check with which version of Leopard the software is known to be compatible, and don't install a later version of Leopard.
Otherwise I suggest reading this:
Essential Steps Before Updating OS X!
Please do things right before updating OS X in order to avoid problems.
A. Repair Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) 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. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) 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.
B. Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means your backup drive (should be erased first.)
Source means your startup drive or volume.
C. If you are installing a new version of OS X such as upgrading from 10.4.x to 10.5.x, then I suggest you do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.
D. Download the Standalone Combo Updater from Apple.
Be sure you quit all running applications and disconnect all peripherals (except original keyboard and mouse) before running the installer. When the installer is running do not use the computer in any way other than to respond to an installer dialog.
Install the update by double-clicking on the installer package icon. When the installation is completed Restart the computer. Your computer will boot twice - this is normal. Upon completion of the update use Disk Utility to repair permissions. Not all permissions will seem repaired. You will get spurious reports regarding permissions related to iTunes, Front Row. These can be ignored. They will appear every time you repair permissions.
Following these basic steps should prevent most if not all updating problems. Note that if you have unrepairable disk problems reported in Step A then DO NOT update your system until those problems are resolved.
