Upgrading USB installer and MBPro
Hello,
I _finally_ upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7 and am experiencing some confusion that I hope can be eliminated here.
I downloaded Lion install app from store and made a Bootable USB volume <Mac OS X Install ESD>.
When I booted from this USB volume to install Lion, I got a utilities screen. I didn't know how to proceed with that so I rebooted and clicked on my <Lion install.app> that I downloaded. It said an update was available and I downloaded it and installed 10.7.3 without issue.
The app disappeared from my iMac. ( I do have it on a backup drive albeit not updated to 10.7.3)
Now I am wondering how do I upgrade my USB installer and also upgrade my MBPro without downloading from the store again??
I copied all the files from the USB Install drive to another disc, made a folder and have made a .dmg of it.
But if I use it I still would have to download the update.
Thanks for your consideration.
Thanks Kappy,
I just found this about using RecoveryDiskAssistant.dmg
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/Using-Os-X-Lions-Recovery-Disk-Assistan t_4.htm
Could I run this to an external FW drive or the outdated USB and then attach it to my MBP and install from it?
Peace.

Problem with USB installer and OS X Mavericks
Hi,
I found an interesting issue with a usb installer for OS X Mavericks where I used the Terminal to evoke OS X Mavericks disk maker utility. The boot able drive was created successfully and I erased my OS X partition and proceeded to install via the USB recovery utility. Unfortunately, while I was installing OS X Mavericks via this usb during the end of the installation the hard drive in my MacBook stopped functioning and apparently it was my computer going into sleep mode, although the monitor was turned on. I just noticed that the progress bar while the installer is unpacking just stopped and got stuck in the counter while saying about a second.
I tried two times installing via the recovery utility and to my surprise the issue occurred again. Therefore I am not using the internet recovery option for OS X and recovering from a Time Machine back up and should be back in Mountain Lion shortly. I think I am going ahead and install in place to avoid further issues and waste of my time.
Therefore, my question is, has anyone experience something similar to what I have described here while using an OS X Mavericks bootable usb installer?
Many thanks for your time and assistance.Apparently, I am not the only one with this issue this is what an ArsTechnica viewer wrote:
Does the USB Stick installer only work on the computer where it was generated, e.g. due to pre-selected hardware drivers or something? I downloaded 10.9 on an iMac 27" 2011 and created the installer on a 8 GB USB 2.0 stick on that same machine, as described above.
However installation on a (test) MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010 did not work (existing installation was 10.8.5, in case that matters).
I booted successfully from the stick (holding the option key after turning on the MBP), wiped out the hard disk from the Disk Tool, then went on with the installation.
A progress bar appeared, saying something like "Preparing installation. Will automatically restart." The progress bar came to an end, saying "about a second" - and hung forever.
I then quit the installer manually after some minutes of waiting and rebooted without the USB stick, but no bootable partition was found (a blinking disk or so appeared).
I retried twice, noticing that no hard disk noise was to be heard while the progress bar moved (probanly some fixed time interval in the setup routine). Additionally in the Log window there appeared just one line from the very beginning like "Can not connect to /var/run/systemkeychaincheck.socket: No such file or directory"
Exactly like described here by someone else:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5474543?tstart=0
(In fact there are several such entries).
What does the installer do at this point? I am currently re-installing the previous 10.8 via Internet Recovery (the download speed is as expected and steady - so I don't think the Installer is stuck by trying to download something while "Preparing the installation" - or would it?

BO XI 3.1 installation and Upgrade activity Steps
Hi Experts,
Right now we are using BO XI R2 Version, Planning to uninstall XI R2 and do a fresh installation of BO XI 3.1 with SP3.
Do I need to install the Java latest version for XI 3.1? Right now we have the following setting,
j2re1.4.2_04
j2re1.4.2_16
jre1.5.0_14
Since the up gradation of Reports, user, groups, universe events etc are from XI R2 version to XI 3.1.So Is it enough to
install BO XI 3.1 with SP 3, or do I have to go for FixPack inorder to avoid problem after this upgrade activity.
Could you please tell me about the BOXI R2 to XI 3.1 installation and Upgrade activity Steps.
Regards,
SridharanHi,
you dont need a special JRE version on the Server. With the installation of BO a own JRE will be installed for BOE. Only for developing WebI reports the developer need a 1.6.x JRE later on.
There is already FixPack 3.1 out but installing "only" SP3 should be sufficient.
I would recommend you check the upgrade guide from Rel.2 to XI 3.1:
https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001646952008E/xi3-1_bip_upgrade_en.pdf

I am getting a 3014 error message when trying to recover my iTouch after upgrading to 10.7.0.21. Everything worked fine until the upgrade.My PC is current with upgrades, I have unplugged all USB connections and I have disabled my firewall security.
Did you try this:
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

OEM 10.2.0.1 installation and upgrade to 10.2.0.3
Dear all,
I want to install the latest version of OEM 10.2.0.3 on Linux RedHat 4. However, after downloading the OEM 10.2.0.3 and reading the release note, I realized that the download is just the 10.2.0.3 upgrade patchset. I have to do a fresh base installation of OEM 10.2.0.1 first. Is this correct?
After installing OEM 10.2.0.1 with an existing 10.2.0.1 database, I need to upgrade OEM 10.2.0.1 to OEM 10.2.0.3 using the patchset I downloaded. Because both OMS and AGENT will be upgraded, I am not sure what installation destination I shoud supply? OMS_HOME, or AGENT_HOME, or just a new home for upgrade? What are the required steps to upgrade OEM 10.2.0.1 to OEM 10.2.0.3?
Are there any documentation or articles that I can follow to do the upgrade?
Thanks a lot in advanced.
XiaopingThere is a README.txt file in the 10.2.0.3 patchset zip file that has the instructions for upgrading 10.2.0.1 OEM to 10.2.0.3.
You download 10.2.0.1 separately which delivers a 10.1.0.4 database. Apply the one-off database patch to the db10g 10.1.0.4 Oracle Home via opatch, then use runInstaller to upgrade to 10.2.0.3 via 3731593. You can optionally create a db10gr2 10.2.0.1 Oracle Home, apply the 10.2.0.3 patchset then run dbua to upgrade the 10.1.0.4 repository database to 10.2.0.3.
You probably would have had fast response posting to the Enterprise Manager Grid Control forum:
Enterprise Manager
2. Fresh Installation of Enterprise Manger 10g Grid Control Release 2 and upgrading it to Release 3
In order to install Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 3, you must install either 10.2.0.1.0 or 10.2.0.2.0 Grid Control environment. This section describes steps to install Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Release 3 environment starting with 10.2.0.1.0 (10.2.0.2.0 for Windows) install
2.1 Install Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 2
Installing 10g Grid Control Release 3 requires any previous releases of Grid Control, that is any 10.2.x.x.x installation, and upgrade to 10.2.0.3.0 release. If you do not have a previous release, but want to have a 10.2.0.3.0 Grid Control environment, then first install 10.2.0.1.0 Grid Control (10.2.0.2.0 for Windows), and then upgrade it to 10.2.0.3.0. Start with the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 2 Grid Control media pack (DVD) and install 10.2.0.1.0 (10.2.0.2.0 for Windows)
- Insert DVD into your computer (note: It is better to copy the DVD contents to local hard disk for faster performance)
- Run runInstaller (setup.exe for Windows) to start installation
- When asked for "install type" option, choose "Enterprise Manager using New Database" option
- Complete installation as per install guide
Important: For information about installing 10.2.0.1.0 and 10.2.0.2.0, refer to the installation guides available at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/oem.html
2.2 Apply required patches
In the case of Grid Control environment installed via "Enterprise Manager using New Database" option, repository database version is 10.1.0.4.0. Before upgrading to 10.2.0.3, apply the patch for bug 4329444 on the Database Home. In order to apply this patch for the Solaris platform:
- Copy the p4329444_10104_<platform>.zip file from the DVD to any directory on the host which has the repository database running on.
- Unzip the file using following command:
$ unzip p4329444_10104_<platform>.zip
- Follow the instruction in 4329444/README.txt to apply the patch
For more detail on this, refer to the release note.
2.3 Install Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 3
2.3.1 Copy the p3731593_102030_<platform name>.zip patch set installation archive from the DVD to any directory on the host which has the Oracle Management Service running on it.
2.3.2 Perform the installation
- Enter the following command to unzip and extract the installation files from the downloaded image described in section 1.2:
$ unzip p3731593_102030_<platform name>.zip
This extracts the files to the "3731593" directory.
- Navigate to the 3731593/Disk1 subdirectory
$ cd 3731593/Disk1
- Set the ORACLE_HOME variable to the Oracle Management Service(OMS) oracle home.
- Execute the runInstaller (setup.exe for Windows)
$ ./runInstaller
The upgrades process then upgrades the Oracle Management Service (OMS), Oracle Management Repository and the Management Agent on the same host as the OMS to the latest Enterprise Manager 10g release 3 version.
Important: The same Patch Set can be used for patching OMS,Repository, and Management Agent. For more detail on installing the patchset, refer to the release note.
2.4 Optional: Upgrading Repository Database to 10.2.0.3
If you installed Grid Control 10.2.0.1.0 (10.2.0.2.0 for Windows) via "Enterprise Manager using New Database" option, your repository database version is 10.1.0.4. In order to upgrade your repository database to 10.2.0.3, follow the steps below after upgrading your Grid Control environment to Enterprise Manager 10g release 3.
a. Upgrade the database to 10.2.0.1
b. Install 10.2.0.3 database patchset -
LR2 - MacOS: installation and/or running from USB stick
I am user of LR2
I wonder if it is possible:
1) to copy the installation CD to an USB drive and start installation from there (MacBook Air)
2) to install LR2 onto USB drive and run from the memory stick (USB)
3) allowed to install 1x on iMac at home and install 1x on laptop computer (Macbook Air) for use when not home
Thanks for your feedbacks and (if available) links to further resources in above topics!
DanielAs to #1, why don't you just download a fresh copy of 2.7 from the Adobe web site onto your MacBook? That would save you a bunch of figuring out how to create a USB stick to install from. Load it from here
I suspect Ian is right about #2, that you won't be able to do it.
#3: no problem. You're allowed two installed copies--you aren't supposed to run them at the same time.

I have already tried this :
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21796614#21796614
and this:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3435734?start=15&tstart=0
but neither of them have helped me to get the bootcamp work properly. Every time i try to modify this fie i get an error.
Please any help would be welcome.No problem, forget the daemon tools and Microsoft usb tool, use BooTcamp Assistant for making bootable usb of windows 7 using that .iso.
you can do the following :
1. Add your Boot Rom Version(from system info) under DARequiredROMVersions.
2. Add Model Identifier(from system info) under PreUSBBootSupportedModels
3. Delete "Pre" from "PreUSBBootSupportedModels", so you have "USBBootSupportedModels"
The first 3 steps are same as before and if its not clear you can easily google solutions with screenshots.
The next step is only for OSX 10.9, as it employs some kind of code signature to prevent you from changing info.plist and cause bootcamp to crash.
4. Open your terminal, use the following command
sudo codesign -fs - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app
Sudo means using administrator privilege and u need to enter your mac password. And the command resigns the bootcamp application so that it runs with the new info.plist file and not crash.
5. Continue on with your installation....
Cheers.
P.S. back up info.plist before u change anything.
I installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit two days ago using this mehod. It is working perfectly. Hope this will solve your problem.Please do make a backup of ur macbook before partition, for safe side.
while using that command mentioned in step 4., may be you get a option to download xcode or something like that, just click ok and download and install that, in my case it was about 101MB. -
My computer crashed after an attempt to upgrade to Yosemite. I can't quit the installer and my MacBook keeps on restarting
I Have a 2008 Macbook Pro 15". It was running issue free until I upgraded to Yosemite. Now my logic board is fried and apple will not fix it. It started with mail accounts unable to send mail, just had to delete accounts and re- install to fix that. But, at the same time as the download, I started intermittently getting a green tint over the screen along with a snowy static like an old TV set. Fearing that my download was corrupt, I re- installed Yosemite over-writing the previous version . The green haze kept coming and going, but I also started getting strobe style white flashes in boxes in the 4 corners of my monitor. I had to do power button forced shutdowns because of pointer and keyboard function failure. Apple Genius desk told me it appeared to be a logic board failure but my computer was too old for them to work onand referred me to a Mac Specialist Center. I was told by both places that Apple installed defective logic boards back then due to changing solder formula. They extended product warranty by adding 1 yr but that still expired in 2012. I tried to post a warning on Mac Forums twice about Yosemite being a poison pill to certain platforms and my posts were pulled. The second attempt was responded to in my personal email account stating that if I don't stop posting derogatory comments, I will be blocked from forum. I am just trying to insert warnings in posts where I can. They haven't discovered that yet. Spread the word!

Differents between upgrade installation and new installation
Our processes have some misbi
Our processes sometimes misbehave. We don't know the cause. We have a DR site so we moved everything there and then everything worked with no issue. The applications are using SQL 2012
SP2.
All the servers are the same in the DR site as the primary site, One of the things we know to be different is that the SQL server installation in the primary site is an upgrade from 2008,
and the one in the DR site is a new installation of SQL 2012.
Do you think there could be a different behaver that is related to type of installation?
Does it make scenes to reinstall the SQL in the primary site as new installation rather than upgrade?Hello,
Adding to Shanky response, do the DR SQL Server instances were configured the same (about parallelism, memory, tempdb,
etc.)?
Hope this helps.

The iTune cannot detect my iPhone 4S. I have already tried all methods suggested, including re-installling iTune, re-activating Apple Mobile Device, plugging in various USB ports, and etc. I use windows 7. How can I solve this?
The new cable is completely new, and my computer can detect the phone as a drive, and battery charging is ok. So I believe the USB cable works properly. It is so weird that just iTune itself cannot detect the phone, and it is of the most updated version. What else can I do? Thanks.
