Which OS X?

I'm running 10.6.8 on two iMacs and a Macbook Pro.
I haven't had any particular reason to upgrade to Lion, or to Mountain Lion, until I discovered some of the value in the new Bento 4, which provides a full version for the iPad (we have both iPhones and iPad minis at home), as well as syncing with more than one mobile device.
I looked at product reviews for Mountain Lion, and they are dismal.  Many issues about performance, as well as incompatibility with third-party software (e.g., I run MS Office as well as the iWork suite; and am also a big user of Finale -- for me, this latter is essential to running my quartet).
So, I'm wondering whether I should postpone upgrading until the upcoming OS X Mavericks.
Thoughts?

If your software is not compatible with Lion or Mountain Lion, then it will not be compatible with Mavericks. Look to the software developers to upgrade their products.
There is nothing wrong with Mountain Lion. It works fine on all of my computers, but not much can be done about incompatible third-party software.
Office 2008 and 2011 work with Mountain Lion.
iWork works with Mountain Lion.
As for other software check:
Are my applications compatible?

  • I am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier

    i am having macbook air recently my iphotos did not open and was showing report apple and reopen but i came to know that by pressing alt and iphotos i open an new photo library and stored the pics but now how can i get the pics which i had in the earlier photo please help me to recover my photos

    Well I'll guess you're using iPhoto 11:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Firefox logo missing from new browser; would like to see it so I can know at a glance which browser I am using.

    Bring back the logo or something else to allow quick identification of browser. Chrome doesn't have its logo in the browser either so now it going be harder to tell between the two. Is this a contest to see which can be more self effacing?

    You can click the 3-bar Firefox menu button and open the Customize window.<br />
    At the bottom of this window there is a button to enable showing the title bar.

  • Can you show at a glance which event images are in albums?

    Say I had an event containing multiple similar but different images, is there a way to show in the grid view for example which images have already been used in one or more albums?
    Would be handy to be able to select a 'show list of albums containing this image'dialogue box. I guess you could hide images you've used but that wouldn't work automatically, nor would any other tagging/rating.
    Another approach would be to make albums containing everything in a given event, then move the images out of that album once used, just seems fiddly to me.

    Would be handy to be able to select a 'show list of albums containing this image'dialogue box.
    Yes it would and many people have suggested tit. Add your voice to the chorus at iPhoto Menu -> Provide Apple Feedback.
    A workaround - and it's no better - is to go to an album and select al, then give all those pics a keyword. Then in grid view you can see which pics have the keyword. (View -> Keywords)

  • I tried to install latest OS update. Recd error installing. IT tried to load the upgrade in Safe Mode. Now system will not boot up. IT says I have to do a clean install which loses all data.

    After receiving an error when I try to install the latest update of OS-X, I took my laptop to oour schools IT dept. They tried to run the update in safe mode and then they got an error saying the system could not find the hard drive. Now they want to run a clean install which loses 1000's of docs and pictures. I have Block I exams in med school next Monday and all of my notes and slides are on that hard drive.
    The IT dept took the hard drive out and tried to back it up and they said they other computer could not connect or find my hard drive.
    Major panic....
    I have Norton antivirus and have never found any viruses on the system. I also have a program called ExamSoft which some other students here have noted they had similar crashes. Not sure if that is the issue...

    Several take home messages here:
    always back up before you update.
    always back up anything you don't want to lose. Kind of like flossing. Only floss the teeth you don't want to lose.
    Norton is very, very bad software, and you should get rid of it.
    You don't need antivirus software on your mac. Antivirus software on macs causes more trouble than it is worth.
    Your hard drive may be failing and thus may not be salvageable.
    You could try booting into the recovery partition and seeing if you can repair your hard drive.
    If that doesn't work, then there is a small chance that a third party utility (like Disk Warrior or TechTool) might be able to fix your drive (if it is not failing).
    If that doesn't work, you may be able to send your drive and a lot of cash to a drive recovery service and see if they can get your files off it.
    In the mean time, get notes and slides from a (smart) friend.

    when Adobe Cloud starts it tries to load an application (Edge FX lite) that I have deleted in Adobe Extension Manager cc. I get the error message ' unable to install the addon EdgeFX lite  error 603. How do I stop this?
    Also in Adobe Exchange in 'My Stuff'  there are showing addons which I have removed in Adobe extension Manager cc which I would like to be removed from this listing as I will never use them, but if I right click to uninstall I fail to get rid of them.

    Apologies, without making the assumption that you are signed in
    1) Go to https://creative.adobe.com/addons/
    2) In the top right hand corner select sign in and enter your Adobe ID and password
    3) Once logged in, on the center of the screen at the left hand side, select the link 'All your purchases and shared items'

  • Which to use - Sy-index or sy-tabix ??

    This is what i found out about SY-INDEX and SY-TABIX but which one to use when i want to delete a line of data from an internal table ? I tried both sy-index and sy-tabix and both works fine and returning the expected output for me but which one is better of to use ?
    SY-TABIX :- For Internal Table, Current Line Index
    SY-INDEX :- For Loops, Current Loop Pass
    The below code is where i uses the Delete ..
    LOOP AT dmg.
            CONCATENATE
                   dmg-dmg00
                   dmg-dmg01
                   dmg-dmg02
                   dmg-dmg03
                   dmg-dmg04
                   dmg-dmg07
                   dmg-dmg08
                   dmg-dmg09 INTO tli_down1 SEPARATED BY '*'.
            APPEND tli_down1. CLEAR tli_down1.
            DELETE dmg INDEX sy-index.
            EXIT.
          ENDLOOP.

    Right. Just like what they said upstairs, sy-babix is the best choice.
    One more thing is, if you want to concatenate fields of table dmg and append to tli_down1 on by one. You should not use EXIT after delete dmg.
    In that case ,only one line can be appended into tli_down1 table.

    Read note 1152612 - Incorrect component type in structure WRMA_S_RESULT_DATA.
    The error occurs in Release BI_CONT 703 Support Package 9.
    If you require an advance correction for Support Package 9, make the following manual changes if the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG is inactive in your system.
    1. Use transaction RSA1 to call the Data Warehousing Workbench.
    2. Check whether the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG was already activated by the compilation process the first time you called transaction RSA1.  You can use transaction RSD1 to check this by entering 0TCTLSTCHG in the "InfoObject" field and choosing "Display".  Proceed as follows if the InfoObject is still not active:
    3. Go to BI Content activation.
    4. Select "Object Types".
    5. Open the "InfoObjects" tree and select "Objects".
    6. Search for the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG and select it.
    7. Transfer the object and activate it.
    These steps activate the required component type /BI0/OITCTLSTCHG. You can check again in transaction RSD1 to ensure that the InfoObject 0TCTLSTCHG is available as active.

  • How do I use Edge Animate to make a clickable image which can be used in Author, and which will redirect you to a different page in your ebook?

    If anyone has experience with Edge Animate, I know that I can make an image clickable, and I can insert a url to define where it will go once clicked. But I want to make a widget to use in iBooks Author, that can take the reader to a certain page of the book. Is this possible?
    It all seems very complicated. Make one thing in Edge Animate, then somehow have that reference something in Author, which will finally work in an ebook. I have no clue where to begin.

    Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
    Let me know if you have any luck.
    //Check to see if pageCounter already exists
    if (typeof EC.pageCounter === 'undefined') {
      // it doesn't exist so initialize it to first page
        EC.pageCounter = 2;
    //check if the page is only 1 digit -- patch for single digit
    if (EC.pageCounter < 9) {
       // it is, so we need to pad a 0 on the front.
      EC.pageCounterString = "0" + EC.pageCounter;
      //e.g.  01 ...09,11,12,13....115,222352,,....

  • Data not matching in cube which gets from two DSOs

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement.
    Cube gets from data from 2 DSOs.
    In 1 DSO -
    There are three fields which are mapped to one field in Cube
    2 DSO--There are also similar type.
    Like 4 fields in dso2 mapping to 1 field in cube
    When the data is loaded into Cube,
    the data is shown as split data like DSO 1 data and DSO2 data.
    I want them combined.
    Can anyone let me know what can I do to show as combined data.
    Thanks In advance!

    Thanks to both of you.
    I am different characterstics in DSO1 and DSO2 to cube.
    Ofcourse 1or 2 characterstics are common in both DSOs.

  • Issue on payroll area which is changing from biweekly to monthly in Mid of

    Dear Experts,
    I have an issue on payroll area which is changing from biweekly to monthly in Mid of the Month.
    One employee was retired on 29th of March, so his payroll area was changed from biweekly to monthly on 29th. For retire we are running the payroll on 8th of every month. When we are running payroll for April he has received only 29th and 30th retire salary, by the time he is not yet retired also.
    In this case the main problem is monthly payroll time is early then biweekly. so the employee is getting retire salary then his regular pay.
    Can you guide me where we can control that monthly payroll area should not be triggered at this movement.
    Thanks
    Chandra

    You can do that but it is not that easy as it sounds if you have to do that over a period of say 10-20 years...lot of operational work!!
    Also say if you load the retiree action one month ahead say on 03/01/2011. And the employee is retiring on  03/29.
    Retire payroll is on 04/08
    Biweekly is on 04/15
    Now you decide to lock the employees after the 1st biweekly check of March...say which was process 14 days before 04/15 would be 04/01. The employee number is locked between 04/01 to 04/15. For 14 days you have locked these employees!!
    What happens if there is adjustment pay...you have to manually go and unlock the employee and lock him after the adjustment check.
    I will let you decide based on the comfort, SAP effort, Operational effort and system maintenance.
