What's the most appropriate upgrade path?
Hi,
Not sure I'm posting this in the right place, so if it's wrong, I apologize! It's been years since I've considered upgrading Photoshop on my computer (I like what I have, and hadn't really felt the need or desire to upgrade), and since that time, a lot has changed. Because of my lack of desire to keep track of the latest changes, I find myself extremely confused now that I am actually looking to upgrade, which is the reason for posting this.
The general idea is that I'm currently using Photoshop 7, and when last I peeked in on Photoshop, that was as straight-forward as it needed to be. 7.0 was Photoshop, that's it. Now what's confusing me is what would be the best version to upgrade to? The obvious questions to follow -- what do I need it for? Varied. I do some web design, I do some photo touchups, and I do other aspects, such as getting ready to start production on an ezine (this is the primary reason I'm considering an upgrade, as I don't feel Photoshop 7 provides everything that I need to do that), for which I'd like to design a simple spread. What gets me is what all these new variations of Photoshop actually are, and what route should I be looking to go so that it's still the Photoshop I know and love, but upgraded and with the various improvements and such? I realise that might sound vague, but essentially I don't want to have to learn a whole new product just to enjoy the features that I already enjoy and know how to utilize, if that makes sense.
Anyone that might have an idea on that?
Thanks in advance!
Hi John,
Thanks for the response! I feared I might be too far gone at this point, but I do still have designs on getting back into the "now" with Photoshop. Full price was semi-expected, it just means a bit longer of a wait .
What got me confused in the first place was the need for and the primary difference between Elements and CS. I haven't changed since Version 7, obviously, and prior to that it was Paint Shop Pro, which wasn't filling many needs. Point being, you had your choice of one company's product or another (no extra versions), without the variations. So, I was getting stuck on which version actually was or would be closest to what could be considered the full version a la Version 7 back in the day. It appears that's going to be CS, as opposed to Elements, which is perfectly fine, I just found myself so confused with the different versions/products!
Thanks for your help!

What is the most appropriate way to do reversal and reconcile the reversed
Dear All,
I am facing a problem to reconcile reversal transaction. The scenario as below:
Date 28.04.2008 Company A issue billing to Customer XYZ amount 3,000 MYR
Date 30.04.2008 Company A want to reverse the above transaction.
Questions:
1.Where is the most appropriate menu path to do the reversal?
2. If the reversal needs to be done via menu path: Financial module à Reversal Transaction, then how to reconcile both items to ensure system will read as cleared items?
3.The purpose of Question no.2 due to have same result upon executing customer ageing report regardless using Journal Posting tab or
using Sales Document tab.
Thank you in advance for your kindly reply.For the function you mentioned :reverse transaction
under the Financial module
you could refer to note:1004113 for more detailed information
To update a journal entry such that it will auto-reverse at a later date follow the steps below:
1. Go to Financials -> Journal Entry.
2. Open the journal entry that needs to be reversed.
3. Place a tick in the box 'Reverse' and a new field for the reversal
date will be displayed.
4. Enter the date when this journal enrty is to be reversed and click
on 'Update'.
For the customer aging report ,there is one case that could explain the difference between 'by journal posting' and 'by sales document':
In case an Invoice has been partially cleared by an Incoming
Payment, the transactions created by these documents will be displayed
as fully open when you run the report using Due Date by Journal Post.
However, if you run the report using Due Date by Sales Doc., the Invoice
will be displayed with its open amount only.
A common occurrence is that exchange rate differences and/or conversion differences were posted without the user having specified to reverse them at a particular date.
Could you explain more about your case?
Best Regards

What is the most appropriate way to generate a static IPv6 for a domain controller?
DNS Role Best practives is giving errors. Looks like I need to assign ONE static IPv6 to each domain controller and use IT in DNS and DHCP. There are two routers on the network, each assigning a 2002: IP, plus a link local FE80: IP is also assigned.
Is there a way to generate a static IPv6 for domain controllers that will not change even if the network cards or routers are changed?
What is the best practice so that domain integrated DNS and DHCP with Exchange 2010 in the domain, will continue to function?
There is ambiguous information as to whether DC's should have static or dynamic IPv6 IPs. I have tried variations such as IPv4 compatible. IPv4 mapped, ISATAP, etc. but over time have gotten different errors from different sources.
It is one thing for Microsoft to give error messages about IPv6 but I cannot find any definitive recommednations on this.
Thanks if anyone finds a universal answer.
Bob.Excellent and valid points, Bob. Your outlook explains in an easy way how the challenges setting up Windows Server are in a sense, self-generated, and in every sense fully avoidable.
No changes have been made to the warnings or errors in 2013 R2 despite improvements in other areas. This release mainly brought improvements to the setup in areas that were truly broken like automatic account generation for ADFS. Since that's a decade old
feature it's probably best not to wait for Microsoft to clarify, and I appreciate your recommendations.
I'm bumping this thread since it's the first result for 192.168.1.1 on ipv6 on Google right now, and since there's no way to see how often it's being referenced I wanted to add some additional information.
Multiple NIC's can be specified by using the scope ID parameter supported since Vista, that appears as a percent-sign at the end of IPv6 addresses. It uniquely identifies the network adapter even when that adapter shares the same host portion of the IPv6
address space (i.e. essentially, has the same IP, which in IPv4 is invalid.) I'll give some examples at the end of the post.
Following the recommendation to deprecate the fec0 prefix while maintaining a link-local addressing scheme is possible through the prefix length at the beginning of the IPv6 address. As
this reference at IBM explains, fe80:: maps to a link-local prefix length of 64 equivalent to the IPv4 version of 24, and anything else before the double-colon refers to the network portion of the IPv6 address.
The host portion of the IP address then _could_ be ::20, ::21, etc., as you said, but to follow
this MSDN recommendation, it would be more appropriate to use the same host portion and add a suffix for the scope ID documented on that page. The suffix may be specific to Windows
and may not work in an equivalent way in heterogeneous platform deployments. But since the effect is limited to the local machine it should help anything past XP differentiate NICs when assigned the same host portion.
The approach taken in the random IPv6 generator linked elsewhere on this page leaves open the possibility, however unlikely, that the generated IP can route to some other host on an open network that happens to have generated the same network portion of
the address (the other host would be sharing the same network.) If any part should be random, it's the host portion after the double-colon, not the network portion at the beginning, so that the possibility does not exist.
Additionally, the host portion doesn't have to be random, it's just done that way because it's usually automatically generated; a random number is safer for a computer than relying on a sequence that may not fully cover all the numbers used so far. If you're
doing a manual deployment you can combine the above information with the inline 0-supression in IPv6 to assign numbers in the following way:
fe80::1:1%1 (first computer is 1:1, first interface is %1)
fe80::1:1%2 (second interface)
fe80::1:2%1 (second computer, first interface)
Effectively here we're swapping "192.168.1" for "fe80::1" which is roughly the same length (taking into account variations like 10.0.0). The only gotcha is that _either_ the string after the double-colon can't be 1 by itself since that's
reserved for local machine loopback, _or_ that the second-to-last number after the double-colons can't be 0, since that's equivalent due to inline supression.
Other combinations are fine, like fe80::2%1 and fe80::2%2 for the first computer, then ::3 for the second, etc. I thought having a 2-index for the first machine is too uncommon to look familiar so I chose the alternative, but even something like fe80::fe%80
is perfectly fine.
If you don't need to identify individual NICs then omitting the part after the percent sign makes fe80::10, fe80::11 a valid sequence for 2 computers. For over 255 computers just add another number before the last, so that it looks like fe80::1:10, fe80::1:11,
etc. That should be easier to remember than the randomly generated numbers.
There is also another way if the preference is to use IPv4-lookalike addresses. The mapped address spec is defined in RFC 4291 and it goes along the lines of "::ffff:192.168.1.1" for a valid IPv6 address to the gateway, for example. That is a newer
recommendation than the RFC which the random-number generated linked elsewhere on this page relies on. -
What's the most appropriate Adobe app for creating interactive apps and websites?
I recently had a potential customer call wanting someone to create an interactive website for customers to use on an iPad in his lobby. Ideally, I'd like to be able to incorporate cool animations, transitions and open video elements. I have no idea what to use to create something like that, and looking at the Adobe apps, I'm more confused than ever. A web search suggested InDesign could do it, but now it looks like Muse might be more appropriate...or maybe Edge Animate.
I'm guessing you Muse experts will have the right answer. Time is limited, but I'm committed to learning this new skill so I want to focus on the right software. Help?Edge Animate would be a good choice to create animated and interactive content - http://html.adobe.com/edge/animate/.
You could then insert Edge Animate content directly into your Muse website. Take a look at this article - http://helpx.adobe.com/en/muse/tutorials/inserting-edge-content-muse-website.html.

What is the most recent upgrade for Quicktime player for Mac OX 10.7.5
I have iOS 10.7.5 on my iMac. Recently my quicktime player won't play a slideshow created in Quicktime.
Can I upgrade my quicktime player application? If so, how?
Thank you. Mrs. DIt is installed along with OS X. The current version is 10.3 and is part of Yosemite.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

Hello,
I need to upgrade Unity 4.0.5 without failover to Unity 8, and we are replacing the server as well.
What would be the most efficient upgrade path for this?
Thanks!!Brian,
The most efficient path is to use COBRAS. I have a number of posts explaining the overall process. At the highest-level, this allows you to build out the new Unity 8x environment, get it integrated with AD/Exchange, and then build out configurations that don't migrate over (there are a few which are highlighted in the COBRAS help). From there, you migrate data over from the 4x system. There may or may not be a few steps along the way but they are outlined in numerous posts I've contributed to regarding COBRAS and also in the COBRAS Help which is located at www.ciscounitytools.com.

From osx 10.5.8 up to the most recent upgrade
I have a MacBook 2009 with osx 10.5.8 what is the most recent upgrade I can buy? osx 10.6.8 and from there go up to mavericks?
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Snow Leopard Purchase
Use the combo updater. Saves time.

I have an ipod classic with 4gb, it is full. What is the most economical way to upgrade to at least 16gb?
(I don't want to delete anything)To recover the photos from an iPod Classic you'll need to use third-party software and the photos gained will be quite low resolution.
See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 for possibilities. -
The update vs. upgrade paths are very confusing. I'm running OS X v10.5.8 and trying to figure out what versions I need to purchase/download in order to become current.
Thank you!Phone the Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and run Software Update. If your Mac supports it, buy 10.7 or 10.8 from the Mac App Store.

I'm running OS X 10.5.8 & Firefox says that my computer is not compatible with the most recent upgrade. What am I missing? Thanks!
The last version of Firefox which is compatible with PPC architecture is Firefox 3.6.x. <br />

For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?
Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
Get what denoted in what properties link.
You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

My macbook pro os x is currently running 10.5.8. What is the cost to upgrade to the most current?
Assuming you have the upgrade system requirements you would first purchase a Snow Leopard DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. Then you update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 to gain access to the App Store where you would then purchase and download Lion. Costs are $29.00 for Snow Leopard and $30.00 for Lion.
Lion System 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
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).
Once you then purchase and download Lion from the App Store consider this before you actually install Lion:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion. -

iPhoto 9.5.1 is the most recent iPhoto version. However, iPhoto 9.4.3 is the last iPhoto version for your OS X version. If you want to use iPhoto 9.5.1, you need to upgrade to OS X Mavericks. You can download it from the Mac App Store.

What's the most stable browser for flash?
I play flash games and run several accounts at a time. I use Chrome at the moment, but have issues with it crashing 2+ times per day. What's the most stable browser platform for flash at the moment?
I have the latest updates and upgrades & a 15" MBP that should have plenty of power.Firefox or Safari, in my opinion. I prefer Firefox, use Safari occasionally, and just have never given Chrome a real chance. I don't like the 'built in' Flash and PDF technology in Chrome.
Give Firefox a try - lots of support for it.
