What is the difference between the new version of lion and the one manufactured last year.

I just bought a new iMac. I found out it is the version of lion from mid last year and not the latest version. What is the difference?Should I return it and buy the latest version?

Not really. Lion is Lion, last year, this year, it is still Lion.
Yes, but it's a different version. Very cleverly said Barney

No it is not. The newest update just adds some things to it, no new features and only fixes bugs. It is still Lion OS X 10.7.x. It is not 10.6 or 10.8.
It is just a "Point" release and not a New Operating system. All Macbook Pros that could run Lion from last year can run the newest Lion Point release from this year.
Oh and by the way Barney was talking about Mountain Lion, 10.8. Which is a NEW OS X operating system and has nothing to do with Lion 10.7.x. And it is not out yet.
lol. Don't bust a blood vein. The comment was made in jest, but if you want to be serious, then OK 10.7 and 10.7.1 were different than 10.7.2 and 10.7.3. Why? Well one little thing called 'iCloud' for a start.

Sorry, there was absolutely no mention of the upcoming 10.8 that I could see in Barney's comment.
Cheer Up. Life can't be that bad.

  • Could someone tell me the differences between ipod 4g released in January and the new iPod 4g released other than iOS5 ?

    I just bought an iPod touch from NewEgg which said it was the latest iPod. When I opened it, I couldn't find iMessage. So when I checked the version, it was 4.3.5. Just want to know the differences between both iOS5 and earlier one, other than of course the OS. Wondering whether to return it or upgrade the OS to iOS5.

    The OS really is the only different thing.
    An iPod Touch 4th generation will still be an iPod Touch 4th generation no matter what OS you have running on it.
    If you want to know more of the feature of iOS 5 then you can check here: http://www.apple.com/ios/.
    You also don't need to return the product if you want the latest OS. You can do it yourself through iTunes.

  • What is the difference between on new focus and do prepare out put methods

    Hi,
    what is the difference between on new focus and do prepare out put methods.

    Hi Divya,
    DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method is triggered each time the view is prepared after each event. Normally we redefine this method in order default the initial values based upon the parameter iv_first_time = 'X'. There can be certain other scenarios like putting data validations where this method can be helpful.
    For details on ON_NEW_FOCUS, refer to this [thread|on_new_focus event;
    Thanks

  • What is the Difference between ?  new Operator and Class.forName() ???

    plz tel me ....
    what is the Difference between ? new Operator and Class.forName() ??? ........

    Class.forName(), takes the class name as parameter,
    and loads that class in memory. But it doesn't create
    any instance of that class.
    That means static methods/variables are available for
    use.
    new keyword, checks if the class is loaded, if not
    then loads that class, and then creates an instance
    of that class.Class.forName actually returns the class object for that name (class - for -name). it might load it, if the class hasn't already been loaded, but it's misleading to say that's what that method does
    your definition of 'new' is wrong, too. give the dukes back

  • What are the differences between a trial version and a licensed copy of RoboHelp?

    What are the differences between a trial version and a licensed copy of RoboHelp? How is original Robohelp software useful compared to the evaluation version (freely downloaded software)
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    The only difference should be that the trial is limited to 30 days use. All functionality works and nothing is watermarked Trial or suchlike.
    The trial of the standalone version allows you to link to FrameMaker documents. It should not and that feature will be disabled if you proceed with the full version. Other than the time limitation, that is the only difference.

  • What the difference between u0093Valuate GL Account Open Itemsu0094 and u0093Valuate G/

    hi gurus
    What the difference between “Valuate GL Account Open Items” and “Valuate G/L Account Balances”?
    We found out that when we perform valuate GL account Open items there will be reversal done at the same time whereas when we perform Valuate G/L Account Balances there is NO reversal posting even though we hv entered the reversal posting date and Period.
    Pls advise which one we should perform?

    “Valuate GL Account Open Items” are for open item managed accounts including vendor/customer accounts. The valuation is performed for each (open) line items on key date specified.
    "“Valuate GL Balance" is for account NOT managed on Open Item basis but managed in foreign currency. The period balance of key date in foreign currency is valuated. Reversal document can be created by selecting 'Reverse postings' in "Postings" tab.

  • Whats the difference between a loop at where cndition and a read statmnt

    Hi.
    Whats the difference between a loop at where cndition and a read statmnt??
    The read statement fails but the loop at where cond works fine...
    READ TABLE t_stpo INTO wa_stpo
                                      WITH KEY idnrk = wa_keko-matnr
                                      BINARY SEARCH.
    LOOP at  t_stpo into wa_stpo where idnrk = wa_keko-matnr.
         endloop.
    Why is it so??

    Hi..
    Check out the Differences below.
    <b>SORT T_STPO BY MATNR.</b>
    <b>READ TABLE t_stpo INTO wa_stpo
    WITH KEY idnrk = wa_keko-matnr
    BINARY SEARCH.</b>
    The READ TABLE statement reads a single record from internal table.
    Binary search can be used to optimize the Search time based on key.
    But Sorting is must before using BINARY SEARCH.
    Always use READ TABLE When u need a single row from internal table.
    Bcoz it will not process all the records of internal table.
    <b>LOOP at t_stpo into wa_stpo where idnrk = wa_keko-matnr.
    endloop.</b>
    The above LOOP .. ENDLOOP statement using WHERE Condition is used when there can be multiple rows satisfying the Condition.
    It will actually Processes all the Records in internal table and returns only the records matching the condition.
    So it will always take more time.

  • What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting

    What Is The Difference Between Save As Self-Contained Movie and Exporting a Video as a Quicktime File

    Save As places the file inside a .mov container. No re-encoding.
    Your still have the option to save this file as "self-contained" (all the parts travel with the file) or "reference" (small file sized movie that merely "points" to the movie parts).
    A reference movie can't play if the source files can't be found. If they are moved or deleted the reference movie will fail and it can't be re-created.
    Exporting is done to convert one QuickTime format to another. Typically you do this with a high quality source file. Exporting previously compressed files is a bad idea that leads to unpredictable results.
    QuickTime doesn't open WMP formats without third party software help (Flip4Mac is one). You can't convert (export) WMP formats without paying extra fees to upgrade their software.

  • Whats the difference between RFC destination of type "HTTP" and "TCP/IP"

    Hi Folks,
    I want to know the difference between RFC destination of type "H" and "T".
    In what instances/tasks we would use them?
    Looking forward for your valuable answers...
    Cheers,
    Ram.

    Type of RFC connection.
    By entering the type of RFC connection, you specify the communication method (TCP or SNA) and the logon type in the target sys
    Type T (TCP/IP) destinations are connections to external programs that use the RFC API to receive 'Remote Function Calls'. You must specify the host name and the pathname of the program to be started. The communication method depends on how you select the program location.
    Type H is the HTTP connection to R/3 system
    Type G is the HTTP Connection to external server

  • What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

    Hello!!
    What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
    I found two things as follows.
    1. MAC support
    2. USB dongle
    Is there anything else?

    Now I’m clear!!
    But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
    They say for each as follows.
    HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
    HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
    And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
    The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
    The wrong description is “NOTE:  You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
    You can erase this line!!

  • What's the difference between task list release for order and release for c

    What's the difference between task list release for order and release for cost?

    Pallavi,
    The status of the task list determines in which other application areas the respective task list may be used.
    Release for costing: means that the task list can be used to calculate costs in Transaction IA16 i.e. the costs for the task list operations would be calculated if released for costing status is set.
    Release for use in the order: Released for Order means that you can use the task list in an order i.e. you could include operations from a task list in an order.
