What is the safest way to update to ios8

Hey guys,
Just a quick one, What would be the safest way to update to ios8? connect it ti itunes and just hit restore? or connect it and click restore whole device and start from scratch.
Cheers.

They are both the same. But first I would make a backup to your computer before you click on that upgrade button. And, I would wait another day or two for the line to subside so you don't wait 10 hours for the download to complete.

    I installed the upgrade to OS 10.6 some months ago and have had problems ever since with slow speed on a lot of software, Adobe InDesign CS4 in particular. I would like to reinstall the OS clean and start over. What is the safest way to do this? Or does this not sound like it would be the culprit?

  • What is the safest way to deflate a bloated project file in Premiere?

    What is the safest way to deflate a bloated file? I am having difficulty opening my Premiere project file because it is over 2 gigs. I have recently updated my entire CS6 collection, so from what I understand the bloated issue is fixed, but I still can't open my project. What is the best way to deal with this issue? Should I open the file in a text editor and erase duplicate code? Or should I open a new project and import the project file? What causes files to bloat?
    My OS is Snow Leopard and I am working on a mac pro (xeon 2006) 12 gigs of ram.

    I've found Acrobat Pro's document compare feature very useful for some jobs, and irritating for others.  One of its modes amounts to light-tabling the two documents, but I usually want a text compare, most recently of a 450-pp. book, where the 250-pp. max. meant I had to do it in two chunks.  Acrobat 9 seems happier with more RAM: I learned not to approach the 250-pp. max on my Vista64 machine with 8 GB, but the package seems more reliable on my Win7 machine with 16 GB.  It often generates quite a few false positives, which take getting used to.  Versions 7 and 8, if I recall correctly, would place the pages side-by-side, which I prefer; version 9 can still be made to do this, I'm note sure about X.

  • I just purchased a new MacPro to replace my existing 2006 MacPro which cannot be undated with the new operating system.  My question is what is the safest way to transfer all my files.  1) simply install my existing 2TB HD into the new Mac Pro or 2)

    I just purchased a new MacPro 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processor to replace my existing 2006 MacPro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon because it cannot be undated with the new Lion operating system.
    My question is what is the safest way to transfer all my files to the new computer.  1) simply install my existing 2TB HD into the new Mac Pro, set it as the startup drive, and update its10.7  operating system or 2) or use the migration program.
    I'm concerned that simply installing the existing 2TB HD, I may have issues with it not recognising some infromation written for the old 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon.

    your new system runs 10.6.8 just fine as has been said and stated many times.
    I would clone it first.
    I would even clone the original system it has.
    And if you have or want to use Lion and then Mountain Lion, fine - I would still keep backups of every OS.
    I am not a fan of putting the OS and Apps plus all the data all on one drive. I like to keep them separate.
    Whatever OS, rerun the last combo update is all and any other updates.
    And by "new Lion" I assume you don't mean 10.7 but "Moutain" 10.8.  Part of me says keep Lion and SL around, and test and try out ML with your apps and other hardware you may have. After too many years, waiting for 10.8.1 - and give everyone time to update their apps and retest.

  • What's the best way to update my Mac with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    I've been getting prompts whenever I look at certain websites to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.  I'm skeptical as to responding to those prompts.  What is the best way to update my Mac Pro with the latest version of Adobe Flash Player?

    You might also want to consider uninstalling Adobe Flash... I currently don't have it installed and haven't needed to install it.  Most websites are now coded in HTML 5 so that the iOS devices can actually visit them.  I can still watch YouTube videos et al.  About the only thing I can't do is play Flash games... but they're a resource hog anyways. 
    Try going without for a day or two and see just how many sites you visit no longer require it.  A lot of people keep it installed out of habit, not out of necessity.  If you have Flash installed, visit a site and it's out of date, it will tell you to update your Flash.  What it won't do is tell you is that had Flash not been installed, it would have used the HTML 5 code instead.  Think about it... if an iOS device can't run Flash at all... it can't visit this site if it were written only to use Flash.  What site would eliminate such a huge portion of their market base?  You'd be surprised at how many sites use HTML 5.  Uninstall Flash and see for yourself.

  • What is the safest way to browse the internet using iPhone 4s?

    iPhone 4s
    OK I love to use my iPhone to search the internet. I would say at least 50% of my time on the iPhone is doing just that.
    When I search the internet using my iPhone, I like to use Google as my search engine.
    I downloaded the Google app to use. I guess I always thought the Google app ran through the safari browser. My understanding is that safari is a safe browser particularly on the iPhone. But now I learn that by using the Google app, I am NOT going through the safari browser. My understanding is that the Google app goes directly to the Google servers. Ok
    So when I look at my safari settings on the phone, I see that Google is the default browser.
    So I guess story short, what is the safest way to browse the internet on my iPhone?
    Using the Google app?
    Using safari browser with Google as the search engine?

    I'm not trying to be unkind but I think you're way overthinking the whole notion of safety on your iPhone. Unless you jailbreak it, you're not going to get viruses or malware, regardless of what browser you use. I generally use Chrome. If you use the Google search app (which I like very much, by the way), you're using its internal browser which, I suspect, is based on Chrome.
    I remain unclear about what you're afraid is going to happen when you use the internet from you iPhone. Can the NSA track you? Sure. So does your mobile carrier. But they can both do that without you accesing the web. Can you stumble on a nefarious website that tries to trick you into giving up sensitive information? Sure. Again, you just have to use good judgement about who you give information to, just a you would in person. Browser doesn't matter. Can you still find really icky "adult' sites? Yup. But most of them require Flash to view the videos.
    Relax, enjoy your phone. I suspect you're in more danger from Candy Crush (the average player spends almost $3 a DAY playing!!!) than anything you find through your browser.
    Best of luck.

  • What is the safest way to get 2012 US Holidays on iCal?

    What is the safest way to get 2012 US Holidays on iCal?

    Besides being out of date, I found errors in the US holiday calendar published by Apple here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/
    Instead, I've subscribed to the US calendar at this site:
    http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/holidays.html
    Copy the URL weblink (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/caldata/USHolidays.ics) for the US holidays, and use it to "subscribe" to this calendar.  Once you've subscribed, each holiday will populate your local calendar.
    This US Holiday calendar is pretty good.  It includes many Christian religious holidays, as well as patriotic holidays.  There are also separate entries for Federal holidays (designated as OPM).  I find this useful since I deal with the Feds on a regular basis.
    Edit:  Just found more subsciption Holiday calendars here:   http://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar-holidays.php

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. What is the best way to update my phone to the latest iOS platform?

    you can update over the air with strong wireless signal, or by connecting to a computer running iTunes.  Either works well.  If you do the update over the air, be sure and attach your iPhone to a wall outlet so you have a solid power supply and don't risk the battery dying during the update.
    The iTunes approach installs a much larger file because of the connection, but if you have not updated since 5.1 that might be a better approach...replace the entire operating system instead of patching. 
    Either way, backup the iPhone yourself just for your own protection in the off-chance something should go wrong...a little paranoia while updating is a good thing

    Thanks.

    Hello, thank you for all these informations.
    Right now my graphic card current Bios Version is 80.04.00.2F (P2004.0010). Is it the good one ?
    I've found out yesterday evening about the GPT Drive, when I saw it on my laptop which works fine with UEFI fastboot mode.
    For the moment the main drive on my desktop is MBR formated SSD.
    Is it safe to clone the MBR SSD Drive to another GPT formated SSD Drive ?
    In my Partition soft I saw that it can convert MBR Drives to GPT without data loss. Could this work ?
    Thanks for reading me.

  • What is the best way to update the delivery time?

    Hi All,
    One of the tasks I have in my job is to updste purchase orders with information found in the orderconfirmation we receive. In the order screen, ME22N, you can change the date in the item, where you have all positions listed. But you can also change it in the tab classifications.
    What is the best way to update the delivery time?
    Best Regards
    Praveen

    Hi
    It may userfull to you
    If you change the delivery date after you have send the PO, then the statistical delivery date is still containing the old delivery date., as long the order is not send this date is changed together with the delivery date.
    Vendor evaluation is performed based on statistical delivery date.
    So if you are responsible for a date change, then you change both dates, that the vendor does not get bad points. but if the vendor cannot deliver at the wished dates, then you change the delivery date only, that all people in your company and MRP run can rely on the new delivery date, but your vendor is evaluated against the old date, because of his fault.
    regards

  • What's the easiest way to update my site regularly?

    What's the easiest way to update my site? I update with new content every month, sometimes more often. (I don't use .mac) When I do, I delete my whole site, then have to upload the whole site with it's updates (the main file along with the index file).
    Is there a way to only update, let's say, ONE page? And if so, will I still have to delete that page?
    Thanks!

  • What's the safest way...force eject an external hard drive?

    I have 10.6.8 on  MacBook Pro.  When I try to eject my 1TB external hard drive, I get the error message “one or more programs may be using it.”  When I tried to eject it from Utilities, it said that “it could not be unmounted.”  What’s the safest way to unmount it?  Can I just shut down my laptop and then turn off the external hard drive after the computer is shut down?

    Shutting down should always work, because all programs are terminated and they stop using the disk. But you often don't have to go that far.
    Logging out should also always work, for the same reasons, although the only programs that get terminated are the ones in the user account that is logged out.
    If you don't want to log out, quit any apps you are no longer using.
    Mac Mail is notorious for hanging onto files that have been attached to emails. If you attached a file from an external disk, Mail might not have let it go. Quitting Mail solves this problem.
    The Finder sometimes doesn't let go of files either, like after you do a QuickLook on a file. Normally you can't quit the Finder except using Activity Monitor, so I add the Quit command using a utility like TinkerTool because quitting the Finder definitely helps with some problems.
    Another solution is to upgrade to Lion, because I hear that the message is more specific about telling you exactly which program it is that's still using the disk.
