Using the upgrade option ...
I have already upgraded my MacBook to Leopard - I used the clean install option and backed up all my files ... my brother is now interested in upgrading but does not have the time to backup everything on his computer, if he uses the upgrade option will it keep all his preferences and everything? ... he basically wants to be able to install Leopard and then continue using his Mac without having to redo anything he already had setup on it (if that makes any sense), is that possible?

If you don't have time to make a full backup, you don't have time to install Leopard.
A backup takes less than an hour. A bad install takes forever to recover from without a backup.
People who don't have time may make mistakes. And never upgrade a system that you need on a day-to-day basis unless you really have the time. And a backup.
Theoretically, on a well taken care of machine, you can do a simple upgrade (I did 2 - one on each of my MBPs - but I still had a backup) and it might work. If it fails then the option is an archive and install but the archive will be over a failed install - it won't be a virgin archive. If that fails you have to do an erase and install and without a backup you have saved nada, zip, zilch.
There's an old saying that if you take a shortcut, leave plenty of extra time.

I just upgraded from FrameMaker 7.2 to version 12. When I create the .pdf of a book using the SaveAsPDF option, the many of the graphics are either missing or partially missing. Any ideas why?
1. Check to see whether you're fully patched (the latest release is 12.0.4 - you need to install the patches in order).
2. Use the RGB option instead of the CMYK (unless you are creating output for press production). -
On a Mac OS X version 10.4.11 and itunes 9.1.1. Can't update to itunes 10.6, Mac too old. Trying to get a previously purchased song. Can't use the purchased option under quick link - nothing shows up and won't let me purchase an already purchased song. What can I do?
If possible you need to upgrade OS X. However, what you can upgrade to is dependent on what your Mac hardware and configuration is which you have not provided in your profile.

Using SDcard upgrade option in A1000
Can we use SDcard upgrade option to root our tablet A1000G/T/F???????
Like this-
We can make update.zip and keep it in the root directory of USB storage in which we can keep 'su' in /system/bin and 'superuser.apk' in /system/app.
The problem is I don't know how to make "META-INF" folder contents.
Can anyone help me to make this meta-inf folder.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOUYes, you can build your own update.zip if you run a custom recovery like CWM. Only Lenovo signed zips will work in the stock recovery. META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script is where the commands go (it's a unix/linux style text file). The CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and MANIFEST.MF files in the META-INF folder are produced by signing the zip. There are tools around to self-sign zips, but again only a custom recovery would accept a zip signed by anyone other than Lenovo.

Can I buy a IPad Air wifi and cellular in Thailand and use the full options in the Netherlands?
Dear all,
I was wondering if i can buy i ipad air in Thailand and use the full options also in the Netherlands. At the moment I am in Thailand for 5 months. After those 5 months i will return back to the netherlands and want to use a dutch sim card for internet access? Is that possible?
Do some people have the experience with tis, and do you recomend me to buy the product over here?
Thank you in advance,
MarcoAt least with the Apple Stores in Southern California and in the Los Angeles area, only the lower-end standard models listed on the Apple web site are in stock. Ones with upgrades to the processor and RAM -- and also to storage -- need to be custom ordered either via the web site or through the toll free Apple phone number. They will build the new Mac to the exact specifications that you request right at the factory and then ship it to any store that you specify, and they can also give you a very good estimate for the day it will arrive at the specified store.
I recently did this for a 13-inch Macbook Air, where we ordered the fastest processor, the max memory (8 GB), and the most internal storage (512 GB). It arrived at the Apple Store about 5 days after the order was placed. -

Text field properties-Using the 'required' option in the text field properties.
Using the required' option in the text field properties.
The 'help' manual describes the 'required' function as this: Required Forces the user to fill in the selected form field. If the user attempts to submit the form while a required field is blank, an error message appears and the empty required form field is highlighted.
My users ARE not submitting the form, they open the pdf, fill it out and print it. HOW can I, make a field "required', I don't want them to skip/leave blank specific fields. However, if I choose the box 'required' in the text field properties, and I begin filling out the form, I can just tab past that field that I've choose as 'required', and I do not get
prompt/error message or anything, it allows me to save, or print.
I WANT SOME TYPE OF message (similar to enter a company order form
off the web, where you can't continue without filling out 'required' fields).
Is there a step/option I am not doing?Then you are going to have to write some JavaScirpt to be executed by the "Will Print" document action to check all the requried fields, either by name or by the 'required' property and handle the issue of the imcomplete fields. You will not be able to stop the print, but you could display and error field so the user knows the form is incomplete and the printed form also conatains this information.

I created a playlist with 100 songs. I want those 100 songs played using the shuffle option. This no longer works in iTunes version 11.1.5.5 How can I get an entire playlist to paly one song after another by using the switch option?
You're welcome.
Going back to your original post:
5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

Please see the subject line thanks
I upgraded to 20gb iCloud but it isn't enough to back up. I get constant error messages saying there is no backup space and I've not been able to use the upgrade. Apple promised to refund then didn't. Please help is there anyway I can use this space?If you were told they would refund the price for the iCloud storage - Contact AppleCare and ask to speak with a senior advisor. Have the case number for the promised refund available.
If you are trying to update your device, but you don't have sufficient space to download and install the update, you need to delete content from your device. Buying storage in iCloud does not add space to the device which is what you need.
You can always update using a computer with iTunes installed - this method is faster, and will allow you to make a backup on the local computer (Local backups restore faster than iCloud backups).

errors (-50) occured when i was using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in my iTunes application on my computer.
what is it?Quoted from the link I provided you with, in your other post.
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.
Choose Store > Check for Available Downloads.
Enter your account name and password.
If you encounter this issue while while downloading Digital Copies using Windows:
Use MSCONFIG (directions for Windows XP and Windows Vista/Windows 7) to disable conflicting software.
If using MSCONFIG steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict.
You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to reoccur.
If you are able to isolate the issue to a particular third-party software, you may wish to contact them to let them know of the conflict.
