Hi ocio,
First of all, you should always do a backup of your computer before doing an upgrade - always.
Things can go wrong, and if they do, you will be out of luck without a backup.
Upgrading should not affect your music, videos, documents, files in general. But don't take any chances in case things go awry....back it all up first!
Cheers,
GB

I recently upgraded my macbook to mountain lion. Before doing so I used time machine to back up my entire laptop with an external hard drive.
When I got my computer back it was clean....all pics, music, documents, bookmarks etc. are gone. How do I get these files off the external hard drive and back onto my laptop with the new upgrade?I recently upgraded my macbook to mountain lion.

I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I upgrade the operating system so I can get i Life 11?
You will need Snow Leopard which is available as a retail disk for $29 from the Apple store or online resellers. Make sure your Mac meets the system requirements; 1 GB RAM is the absolute minimum - 2 GB would be better.

This is my first Apple......Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/leopard_install-setup.pdf
After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

SharePoint 2007 performance issue after upgrading the operating system
We upgraded the operating system of our SharePoint Server 2007 from 2003 to 2008 R2. After upgrade we rebuilt the SharePoint using content DBs we backed up before upgrade. All settings is same except that we moved the DBs to new SQL servers. Now users are
reporting performance issue with sites. I experienced it myself some of the pages takes 9-30 seconds to load. Also our SharePoint server is single server. I monitored the SharePoint Server and it is fine. I did fiddler trace and here are the result. I see
lots of 401 (login failed) errors then 302 (redirect) then 200 (OK). Do you know why we are getting 401 errors?

iexplore:15344Hi
when you request a Site collection (http://domain/) or a Site (http://domain/foo/) of your Publishing Site you get redirected to the http://domain/Pages/<WelcomePage>.aspx. SharePoint 2007 uses the 302 header (location temporarily moved) for
this purpose. Surprisingly even WSS uses the 302 header to redirect a root url to the default.aspx. In comparison ASP.NET uses an internal redirect to render the default page when the root url requested: there is no redirect in this situation.
Check the link which can give more input
http://blog.mastykarz.nl/sharepoint-2007-redirect-solved-using-301-instead-of-302-redirects/
for error 401 you can check this link
http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/97027-no-resources-401-unauthorized/d
and check SharePoint ULS logs and event viewer for any exceptions.
Please mark the Answer and Vote me if you think that it will help you to resolved your issue -
I use the operating system Mac os x 10.10.2 and would like me like to purchase Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 am with but not sure because is specified in the system requirement only os x 10.9. Can you help me?
Yes, it works. Download the trial and see for yourself. Adobe never updates the system requirements after any version is released, so that is what was available last Sept. when PSE 13 was released.

I have an iMAC using OS X Version 10.5.8, how do I upgrade the operating system?
I have an iMAC using OS X Version 10.5.8, how do I upgrade the operating system?
Your first step will be to upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6). Check the link below for requirements and purchasing info.

I have a 2006 intel imac 4.1 with 2g of ram. I am currently running 10.5.8 and wish to upgrade the operating system. How high can I go as I would like to link it up with my newer imac, iphone and ipad...please advise and 10.5.8 is not cutting it.
You can run up to 10.6.8 on that particular model. That OS version is still available:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
10.6.8 will run on 2GB RAM, the max for that model. -
Hi there, I have a 2009 Macbook - running on OS X V.10.6.8... but I'm looking at upgrading the Operating System to V.10.10. Will your latest version of LIghtroom (the one I can currently get a free one month trial of from your site) work with Apple's latest operating system - Yosemite V.10.10? Or will LR only work with V.10.7, 10.8 or 10.9?
Thanks, SeamusHey, problem solved. One of the drives was faulty. I erased the 2nd drive (which was showing up as the degraded raid slice), deleted the RAID set and restored the 2nd drive from a back-up disk image. After that, when I booted using 'option' I was presented with two boot disks but only one that worked. And when it did boot up only the reformatted disk was showing in Diskutil so I'm guessing the second one is knackered. With it still in place the server still wouldn't boot up from a full shutdown, but the moment it was removed it booted up no probs. Wakes up from sleep as well so it seems sorted.
So now just need to decide whether I'll bother with replacing the second drive or just use an external back-up. I have just bought a 1TB drive to back up to so will probably just go with that.
Btw, is there anyway I can test the drive I removed to see if can be saved?
Thanks for all your help. Your siamese twin comment was the push I need to erase the drive, I'd be holding off before that.

My iphone does not respond after upgrading the operating system
upgrade the operating system to 7.0.2 and iphone 5 will not start, can you help please
It reads as though you've managed to break your iPhone. You should make an appointment with an Apple Genius to discuss. If need be, Apple will sell you a refurbished handset for about $200 + tax.

Ever since we upgraded the operating system on my iMac to OS X, Ilost the function of exporting photos directly into iPhoto from my email. What should I do?
Let Apple know you want this bug fixed:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Workaround: drag the images from the email to the iPhoto icon on the dock. -
have verizon iphone 3g; recent upgrade of operating system. suddenly calendar has wiped out all entries and am unable to add new ones.
Please define "tried to add the Image"?
OS Installer Packages do not point to "images". They point to the complete set of source files including the directory structure from the media.
Is there a specific reason you are using OS Installer packages though? In general, there is no reason to use them anymore (unless you are actually still deploying XP).

I have the ipad1 and want to upgrade the IOS system and do not have a home computer to do it. Is there someplace I can take it and have it done for me professionally? I checked with Best Buy and they declined.
A physical Apple Store. If you want to do it yourself, you can use any computer with an Internet connection.

HT1752 Can obsolete products like the eMac wih OS 10.4 upgrade the operating system?
I just acquired two Apple computers, my first. One is an eMac with OS 10.4 and the other is an iBook G4 also with OS 10.4. Can these machines be upgraded to a more current operating system?
The farthest any PPC Mac (both of yours) can go is 10.5.8 which dates from Oct. 2007. Apple just brought out OS 10.8 three days ago.
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

Leopard 10.5 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP517
Note that Leopard is very costly because of demand, and is now 4th generation system software. Apple typically only supports the last two generations, sometimes stretching to last 3. New software developers rarely support PPC Macs now. Many of us still run PPC Mac and old systems but it's like being given a 20 year old car, so don't have high expectations.
