What is the easiest way to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5 Leopard

what is the easiest way to upgrade from OS X 10.4.11 to 10.5 Leopard

You should consider this:
Here are the minimum specs your Mac will need to run Leopard, according to Apple:
Intel, G5, or 867MHz+ G4 processor
512 megs of RAM MINIMUM (though if you only have 512 megs of RAM you may actually find you need more.)
DVD drive (Leopard is shipping on a DVD, and your Mac needs to read it to be able to install it)
9GB of free disk space
Hope this helps

Hi there, why my hp dv6700 laptop having a pink monitor. What's the main reason for that? thank you

Hi there, why my hp dv6700 laptop having a pink monitor. What's the main reason for that? thank you

If all is pink (but you see the desktop), then normally one colour cable is broken - I think blue is off.
In your case (laptop) the connection to the display seems to be damaged, so the blue information is lost.
Normally you can test it when you twist the connection between pc and monitor. But I don't know if this works with a laptop.

What is the BEST way to upgrade from Leopard to Tiger?

My current set-up is noted below. The main "Macintosh HD" is 250 GB's in size and is fairly filled up with programs and plug-ins. (I own Logic Studio 8 and Final Cut Pro Studio 2, as well as Adobe's CS4 Web Premium Suite.)
Prior to doing the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, I wish to ensure that I get back to my current set-up should any problems arise. Off hand, I can think of a couple of options to chose from to ensure a proper backup :
1) Cloning the current disk drive on another drive in the Mac Pro prior to the upgrade.
2) Purchasing a new, larger disk drive for the Leopard upgrade and safely storing the original drive containing Tiger.
Maybe there are more ways to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard with a dependable "back-up"??
No matter how I ensure a back-up of my current drive, I will install Leopard as a clean install.
What would be the BEST way to do the upgrade with proper back-up?
Thank you in advance for your time and input.

I suggest 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.

What's the best way to upgrade from 10.4 to 10.6 - import or upgrade?

I've got an Intel MacPro running 10.4. I bought a 10.6 CD, and want to upgrade. Is it best to 1) install 10.6 onto a clean (empty) new partition and then let Migration Assistant import everything from my 10.4 disk, or 2) ask it to upgrade the existing 10.4 partition to 10.6? My biggest priority is that my system stay as functional as possible (i.e., I don't want it to mess up stuff that worked fine on the 10.4). Is this a risky process - am I better off upgrading a clone (or Time Machine) backup of the 10.4 and booting off that to see how it works, or is this pretty safe and I should just do it? I do have a backup of course. Thanks,
Mike

Be aware that the Snow Leopard installer is more advanced than previous ones & is optimized to upgrade an existing installation.
Among other things, it performs the equivalent of Disk Utility's "Verify Disk" check before it writes anything to the target disk & will not do so if it finds any problems. Thus, you don't need to worry about checking for preexisting directory corruption before running the installer.
The installer also uses the network settings of the existing system on the startup drive (if there is one) to access Apple's database of incompatible apps to get the most current version of it before rebooting from the installer DVD. It may not be able to do this without any existing network settings, & of course if the target drive is empty to begin with you don't get the benefit of that feature, which moves incompatible apps in a existing installation to an "Incompatible Software" folder as part of the upgrade.
The installer will also use what is already installed as a reference for what to install. For instance, if you have existing PPC apps on the target HD, it will install Rosetta automatically. If you have a Quicktime Pro license, it will automatically install Quicktime Player 7 (in the Utilities folder) & reregister your pro license. If you start with an empty disk, neither will be installed by default. The installer will also default to installing 'local & nearby' printer drivers, based on the existing system's printer preferences.
Moreover, unlike earlier OS installers, it never patches any existing OS files to bring them up to the new OS versions, so it is immune to the problems this sometimes caused if the existing versions had any corruption or other damage. Note that it does preserve any preexisting third party system files you have added (unless they are in the incompatible items database) so if they are corrupted or damaged they can still cause problems when the Mac restarts from the newly installed OS. However, since all the actual installation work is done while booted from the DVD, this will not interfere with the installation process itself. For the same reason, the installer is immune to any existing permissions issues, since everything is installed by the superuser running on the DVD's version of the OS.
Basically, while it isn't bulletproof (& for that reason you definitely should have a backup or clone before you use it), the Snow Leopard installer has eliminated the need to perform essentially all the pre-installation steps knowledgeable users often recommend to insure a smooth, trouble-free upgrade to earlier OS versions.
Getting rid of any old 'flotsam and jetsam' is a different matter; however, the installer does remove much of that (or move it to the Incompatible Software folder) & spares users the sometimes tedious task of deciding what to migrate or manually move back into a fresh new system from a backup, which can itself be a source of problems.

What are the essentials needed before upgrading from call manager 9.1.1 to call manager 9.1.2?

I recently tried to upgrade my call manager in a lab environment from 9.1.1 to 9.1.2 but failed. The error stated that connection had been lost after 2 hours into it. Connect using CLI. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is the best way to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.7

I am trying to figure out the best way to upgrade my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8 to the new Lion 10.7. From what I have heard so far, I need to get a copy of snow leopard first so I have the APP Store then download Lion. Has anyone heard of a bundled package to accomplish this?

Apple is currently only making Lion available for download. You'll have to accquire a copy of Snow Leopard first and upgrade to it. Once you are on Snow Leopard, update your Mac with all of the current updates, which will then give you the App Store. From the App Store you'll be able to download and install Lion. I strongly advise backing up your system first prior to the update.

What are the recommended steps to upgrade from CF7 to CF8

I have read all of the documentation for how to upgrade from
CF 7.02 to CF 8. Well there is actually only one blurb in all of
the CF docs.
"Upgrade installation You can upgrade from ColdFusion MX,
ColdFusion MX 6.1, and ColdFusion MX 7. When upgrading from
ColdFusion MX, ColdFusion MX 6.1, or ColdFusion MX 7, the installer
preserves the existing settings and installs in a new directory,
automatically assigning ports that do not conflict with the
existing installation."
OK that sounds simple enough, so i went ahead and installed
it. Well it did not work, now I am stuck somewhere between 7 and 8.
My basic step, as I can best recall at 1:00AM.
* Select Multi server Configuration
* Select install path, I used D:\JRun4
* This is where my existing cf7 install was located
* installer told me port 8300 was being used so it gave me
port 8306 instead
* Selected d: for ColdFusion8DotNetService install path
* Select Passwords for admin and rds
* installed cf
* received error after install
(Adobe_ColdFusion_8_InstallLog.log)
ANT Script Error:
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - jrun.xmlUnable to remove existing
file D:\JRun4\bin\jrun.exe
* rebooted
* can't login to cfadmin at port 8306
* tried to login to cfadmin at port 8300, everythin works
* it appears the cf7 services are still running,
* didn't notice any new cf8 services, excpet the dotnet
stuff
Any assistance would be appriciated.
I am on windows 2003/CF8EE/Multiserver configuration

Essentially CF comes with the updates that will become JRun 4
Updater 7
integrated into it. (The beta of Updater 7 is under way).

Use the CAR file, XML file formats have changed between
versions.

What you are describing is a simultaneous update of JRun and
CF. For
just an update of CF you need to redeploy the CF EAR file as
described
in the JRun manual. For just an update of JRun you have to
wait until
updater 7 is released (or join the beta and file bugs if you
don't like
the procedure).

The latest release is only updater 6.

Use a CAR file for that.

In place upgrades are never clean. In my book, an upgrade
means
rebuilding from scratch.

Since I have learned my late 2007 Macbook 3,1 will not support Mountain Lion, what is the best way to upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.7 Lion?

Can I download the latest version of Lion from Apple. I have heard that if I call Apple Sales support I can still get Lion from Apple. Lastly, what about Lion via the Thumb USB?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Correct. Call Apple to purchase OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 If you want the OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, you will have to search it in Amazon or eBay. Make sure that the USB drive is white with a grey Apple logo.
Then, make a backup of your data before upgrading, and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com After checking everything, you can upgrade to OS X Lion

Emac upgrade: What's the easiest way to upgrade from OS 10.2.8 to OS 10.3?

I just gave my Emac to my parents...I want to upgrade from OS 10.2.8 to OS 10.3 and continue upgrading so the computer is as current as it can be. What is recommended? Downloading OS 10.3 from Mac downloads and progressing through upgrades until I hit OS 10.5 or is there an easier way? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Right now, I can't upgrade at all until the system gets OS 10.3. At least, that's what the downloads page is telling me.
Thanks for your time...Steeler58

The version of Mac OS X 10.2 you have, 10.2.8, is the highest you can get for free. You cannot download Mac OS X 10.3; that has always been something you would have to pay for. The same applies to Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard); each would be a separate purchase at retail. If it were me and my machine, I'd skip 10.3 and find a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4. You may still be able to purchase 10.4 from the Apple Store if you call them (it is not available for order from the Apple Store via the Web). You may also be able to find a copy through one of the computer dealers that specializes in discontinued software or through eBay. You must get the full retail version; a system installer disk intended for some other model of Mac will usually not work and is not legally licensed for separate sale and use on other systems.
Note that the normal 10.4 installer only came on DVD - CDs were only available via special order - so your eMac will need to have a DVD-capable drive, either a Combo drive or a SuperDrive.

What's the right procedure to upgrade from ACS 5.1 to 5.3

Hi folks,
What would be the right procedure to upgrade ACS 5.1 to 5.3 ?
Our client needs to a smooth upgrade to the latest and greatest 5.3 version. The plan is use a backup made on 5.1 and install it on the new system.
Should the new system be running version 5.1 or I can start with 5.2 to save time for the upgrade?
Eugene

The patch 2 installation went OK, failing on the restore part.
The database file is 206 MB of size. Isn't it too much to pull over FTP?
ACS53/admin# restore DB_Backup-120320-1607.tar.gpg repository REPO
Restore requires a reboot to successfully complete. Continue? (yes/no) [yes] ?
% Failure occurred during request
And the FTP server doesn't report any error. The connection is made and closes:

What's the correct procedure to upgrade from Lightroom 5.7 to Lightroom 6? My Creative Cloud app still reports Lightoom as being "Up to date"

If I choose "Check for updates" from the Help menu within Lightroom 5.7 I get the message that an upgrade is indeed available. If I click the "Download" button from here I get sent to a web page with this message… "To update to the latest version of Lightroom for use with your Creative Cloud membership, please quit Lightroom, launch the Creative Cloud app, and click the "Install" button next to Lightroom 5" Well there is no "Install" button next to Lightroom 5 because Creative Cloud app reports that Lightroom is "Up to date"

I don't know for sure, but I imagine it has to do with Adobe's method of gradually notifying people of the upgrade to keep their servers from getting flooded. If all the hundreds of thousands of accounts where constantly checking to see if new programs where available every minute of every day, that would be some serious overhead. They probably do something like "check once daily at midnight to see if new versions of PS, LR, IL, DW, etc are available and notify the user".
