What do I need to go from OS 10.4.11 to lion or even snow leapord with my imac

I have not used my iMac in almost 2 years and have OS 10.4.11 installed on it. What do I need to upgrade to the latest OS? Can any of this be done off line or do I need to get it onlne first. Should I go to just snow leapord or go to lion and is there a benefit of going to lion?

The lastest Mac OS X is Lion v10.7.2. You would have to upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6 in order to do this.
First, make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications
"10.4.4 Tiger Intel can go straight to Snow Leopard without getting Leopard"
Please read before upgrading your system > Lion upgrade questions: Apple Support Communities
The benefits of  Lion >>>  Apple - OS X Lion - The world’s most advanced OS.

  • My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade.  What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical.  Thank you

    My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade.  What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical.  Thank you

    I totally agree.  I just wasted .5 hrs trying to figure out how to manipulate and sync the reminders with the iCAl.  Thanks for posting this thread online, I can stop wasting my time now.  Apple, please change it back or make these apps sync. 
    Side note.  I was creating my to do list and found the ability to asign a date by draging the task to the calendar in the bottom right.  Then I discovered that I can drag that same reminder/to-do task into iCal and it will be created as an event. Would be great if I could simply sync the reminders to iCal instead of draging them over though.  Then when I make the change in one the other can update with the next sync.  This also prevents human error if I drag and drop the reminder onto the wrong date in iCal.

  • I need help with motion control. I am programming in Visual Basic. I will need help with what parts I need to purchase from NI, along with help on the code.

    I am using a Papst servo motor and I need to know where to start and what to purchase to get this motor to spin. I am using visual basic and in my program I calculate the direction and RPM's needed from the motor. It will spin anywhere from 1 to 10000 RPM's. It seems rather easy, but I have no idea on how to spin the motor at the specific RPM, and stop it with a command stop in the program. Please help.

    We really should know a little more about your intended uses for this system, but assuming you want to do relatively simple (or even not so simple!) motion, you'll need a few components...
    A motion controller, such as the PCI-7342, can take your VB commands and turn them into the commands needed to "run" the motor. Next you'll need a drive, such as the MID-7342. This includes the servo amplifier that actually powers the motor. It also has connections to "pass through" the encoder signals from the motor back to the motion controller.
    The above-named pieces assume one or two axes of motion. You'll also need a cable to connect the two (can't remember the model right now). You can use MAX to configure the motion controller, and there are just a few VB calls you
    'll need to make using NI-Motion functions to define the motion and get it going.
    Hope this helps!

  • HP Laserjet 6MP: what do I need to save from old system?

    I recently moved from a G3 iMac running 10.2 to a G5 running 10.4. I have a great old HP Laserjet 6MP. Right now, my system is successfully printing (through an AsanteTalk box that goes from the printer to the Appletalk slot). It was able to find my printer, showing the name "Buster," a name which I had chosen a long time ago when I was on System 9. The only place where the name "Buster" appears in my files is on two ppd files on my external nonbootable backup disk, in the old "System Folder." One is in the Printer Preferences and the other in the Extensions in this old System Folder. I have several questions:
    1. Are these two files named Buster essential to my system being able to find my printer? I'm surprised that the system would have found the printer in the backup disk rather than through a newer driver on the current system.
    2. If the Buster files are essential, where should I put them on my current system? (I'd like to be able to remove the old system files from the external backup drive eventually.) Or do I just need to keep them where they are, on the backup disk?
    3. I've noticed there is an HP Laserjet 6MP driver on the new system. Would my system be able to find my printer with just this driver?
    4. Is there any danger of my system not being able to find the printer if I move these "Buster" ppds to a different folder on the backup disk?
    Thanks,
    Donna

    You should be able to use the printer independent of old system
    folders created in another computer at a different time. Perhaps
    the AppleTalk connection is why this old information comes up;
    presumably you are still using the printer via AppleTalk, and so
    that configuration must be running under Classic in OS X 10.4.
    The OS X 10.4.x Tiger system probably has excellent drivers;
    but you could use Gimp prints, too.
    Did you use the Migration Assistant to move from the old Mac
    to the newer one? If so, it copied over stuff; and any old alias
    or links to sources no longer available to the computer would
    be null and void, unless or until some other drive with old info
    relative to this were available.
    I'd change all that; and re-think the need to use AppleTalk,
    unless you have other hardware or needs only fulfilled with it.
    You should be able to get a good driver for the printer as a
    download, something newer than the printer's old one. The
    Gimp Print or gutenprint open source page has free drivers.
    There probably is something there to update the old printer.
    You may be able to move the printer driver from one system
    into another; but not sure how compatible that bit of old data
    would be in a newer OS X 10.4 system.
    Gutenprint - Gimp print:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
    Gutenprint supported printers lists your model:
    http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/pSupportedPrinters.php3
    I'm not sure about the rest of this question; in that the need
    for the configuration as it was has not been established as
    a single and valid way to go. You should be able to get newer
    drivers and consider other means to use the printer outside
    of AppleTalk, if necessary. There should be no need for the
    old system parts, if you can get a newer, better driver; etc.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • What Compressor is needed for files from a Canon T2i on it's way into FCP?

    Hey internet,
    I bought a Canon T2i and Final Cut Pro hoping to start off a great little film making project.
    I shot a bunch of footage in 1080/720 @60fps. (hoping to get some nice slowed down shots in the future..)
    The problem is, now I'm seeing all this talk about Conversion/Compression/Codecs etc. And when I'm looking at my footage (drag and dropped) into FCP it's weird sizes and takes FOREVER to render/export!
    All I want is to film, import, edit, export, show to friends/family a great looking video..
    What am I missing? Please give me some tips on at least where to start.
    Thanks.

    <rant>I would say this is something to figure out way before you start shooting, or maybe even before buying the camera. Post-production with these DSLRs is way more complex than most people think.
    Learn your tools and set up workflows before you start projects like this, or you will always end up fooling around in post-production.
    One of the issues with FCP, is that you mostly can drag and drop video into the timeline, even though FCP really does not supports it properly.
    Shooting everything at 60p is not really a good idea, unless you really know what you are doing. You should have planned on what shots you wanted in slow motion, and shot the rest at 24p or 30p.</rant>
    On the bright side, learning from mistakes is always good
    Tips 1: What you want to do before bringing DSLR video into FCP is to transcode it to ProRes 422. Try to start by using the preset called *Apple ProRes 422* in Compressor.
    Tips 2: Search for DSLR FCP workflow on Google.

  • What do I need to enable me to put JVC Everio video onto the MacbookPro Snow Leopard bought November2009

    Hello to all,
    I am still learning how to use this Macbook Pro and cannot understand why there is no app for
    putting JVC Everio video onto my laptop in order to edit and make a disc of my films while on
    holiday so that I can send the edited pieces to our daughter in New Zealand where we took them.
    I have been into the Apple Store in San Fransisco this month and they could not help as the
    laptop was then at home in the UK.
    Are there any apps?
    Do I need to buy a reader I have been told by a salesman?
    Should I update the Snow Leopard to Lion?
    Should I consider any updrade to the Macbook Pro?
    Do I need to consider going back to school at age 64 tomix with 5 year olds who seem to understand
    computers better than us old grumpies!!!
    Is there a site or disc which can take me through any possible remedy to my problems?
    Any help will be appreciated especially from people who know what they are talking about.
    Thank you

    MacBook Pro and Mac Pro are not the same machine.   The MacBook Pro is a notebook, and the Mac Pro is a desktop.   Regardless, the question you have pertains more to Quicktime or iMovie, as both those are video importing applications.     Do you wish me to ask a moderator to redirect your question to either forum?
    There are forums for each.
    One application I found is great for importing non-Apple compatible video formats is http://www.etinysoft.com/total-video-converter-hd.html though you may need to get a Flash Card reader that supports your camera's flash card on a Mac to import the video.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

    Any help would be appreciated.

    There really isn't anything in the information you provided to indicate that you have been hacked, and you don't have a virus. Worse case is that you have been hit With a web traffic redirect wihich will NOT allow any outside access to the iPad.
    Some steps you can take:
    Clear the browser cache: Open the settings app, select Safari, then tap the Clear History and the Clear Cookies buttons (make sure you have the Fraud Warning turned Pn while you are at it)
    Reset the iPad: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider should it appear. Takes about ten seconds. Restart the iPad using the On button.
    Check your iOS versions. If you hven't updated to 5.1.1 yet, you might consider that. It has a security fix that helps prevent this.
    As suggested above, as a last resort, restore the iPad to factory settings.
    But again, it is HIGHLY unlikely you have been hacked. And you do NOT have a virus.
