Why bother to upgrade?

After seeing so many issues with '09 in this forum, and after having found workarounds for iWeb to shortcomings of iWeb '08, is there any compelling reasons to upgrade? Efficiency, faster loading, selective publishing, anything?
FWIW, I predominately us iWeb to produce a 'multi-media tips' blog that is published to a site folder, not the main pages.

To me, the biggies in the iLife package are iMovie and iPhoto... in that order. iPhoto has improved enhancement tools and Faces and Places, which work about 1/2 the time. iMovie 09 is fantastic, combining the new features of iMovie 08 with the power of iMovie HD. It also adds image stabilization and a very cool precision editor.
As far as iWeb, I was a little nervous to see all my pages turn red after the update. Publishing the entire site made everything go back to normal, although it took some time with my large site. I am not seeing longer publishing times. My pages update quickly. I was also delighted to see that the publish and visit buttons finally work the way they are supposed to: By site. I have multiple sites on Mobileme and they can be update individually and visited individually. This doesn't seem like much but it makes it much easier to keep sites separate and to visit them immediately without having to look up your bookmark. Each site has the choice to use FTP or MobileMe.
Biggest disappointment: I was hoping iPhoto's editor would be the editor that shows up in all the iWork or iLife apps. We are still stuck with the more basic editor in all but iPhoto.

  • Why bother with the software upgrade BT ?

    I've still got the old silver BTVision box, I've had it since launch which is quite a few years I can tell you !!. At the start the software was very dodgy, even watching TV had its problems. After some very overdue software upgrades the box now runs as sweet as a nut.
    My question is, with the new HD Youview box on the horizon (which I will be getting day one), why bother upsetting the applecart ??. The old boxes are running fine so why introduce a new slow, buggy UI to a platform that is on its way out ?. What is BT trying to achieve here apart from forcing an upgrade on people that apparently doesnt provide any extra features and wipes all of your recordings ?.

    The new software is still in testing mode at this time. Hopefully by the time it is fully launched the bugs will be fixed and the features added back.
    If it's in use by non-beta testing customers, as it appears to be, then it is not in "testing mode". Can I stick with the old look please!
    And yet you want multi-room. Which one cannot have on the WinCE platform as it has no flexibility. But the new platform will, eventually.

  • Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?

    Why is the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4 (1.31 GB) taking ELEVEN HOURS?  After 2 full hours I have downloaded 240 MB!
    I realize my Internet speed of 2.5 Mbit/sec is not blistering, but it is the fastest available to me at my rural location.  It easily manages 8 to 10 GBs of material from other sites.
    There are no other users on the system and no other downloads taking place.  I am using a wired connection (not WiFi).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Paul Good ([email protected])

    I am using iTunes and as I pointed out in my query, I am using the fastest connection available to me.
    From other sites a file of 1.31 GB would take me less than 40 minutes!

  • Why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks

    why cant i upgrade my 17in macbook pro (s/w 10.6.8)to mavericks?  I do not know what month it was built.  I bought it as a refurbished by Apple a few months ago.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    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
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) 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)
    Do a backup before installing.
    Your iMovie and iPhoto data should be good, but you will have to upgrade the applications.
    If you decide the upgrade isn't worth it, you can share Mail, Calendars, and Contacts running Snow Leopard. Based on my experience, I don’t recommend syncing Contacts - created a lot of problems with duplicates. If you have 2 step verification enabled on your Apple ID, you will need to generate an application specific password for Mail, iCal, and Address Book. Apple ID - Manage
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
    Snow Leopard iCloud –  iCal
    Snow Leopard iCloud - Configuring Mail with Mac OS X v10.6 or iOS 4

    Why can I upgrade my mc086bt (iPod 3g) to ios 5? it says I have the current version

    You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1.  If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:

  • Why Bother with Objective C?

    Given the tools out there for writing iOS apps in HTML, Jquery, C#, Ruby, etc, including some with generate apps that can run on both Android and iOS,
    why bother writing in Objective C?
    What are the advantages?
    thx

    RubyMotion is not a bridge or an interpreter or a wrapper, it is built directly on top of the Objective-C run time, so there isn't really a downside if Ruby is your thing.
    Interesting. Do you know of any similar projects with different languages? RubyMotion looks cool, but only if, as you say, "Ruby is your thing". For me, it is just another syntax. Objective-C is just C with a few "@" characters and a lot of "[]", so why bother? Now if there was a Perl front-end, that would be interesting.
    I found the following list of LLVM front-ends:
    Here is a tutorial on building your own: http://gnuu.org/2009/09/18/writing-your-own-toy-compiler/
    LLVM Projects page has more information: http://llvm.org/ProjectsWithLLVM/
    Now, where am I going to find a BNF for Perl
    PS: Yes, I know about CamelBones. Unfortunately, both the project and its author are no more.
    But to get back to the question of why bother with Objective-C, the answer is clearly the Objective-C runtime. It doesn't turn C into Perl, but it comes quite close. It comes so close that it really isn't worth ones time to bother with Objective-Perl.

    In WMP right click on the song then select Advanced Tag Editor. A window will open, then select the Pictures tab and hit Add button. Now select a JPG of the album art (it has to be JPEG not BMP or PNG). And add it, now select Album (front) as picture type.
    In WMP11 you can drag and drop the album art to the empty CD box of each album or song. Just make sure that's a JPG file and that the file size is less than 200KB.
    Now drag and drop or sync the files to your device. Then refresh the library in the device (Options-> Refresh music library)
    Ahh, you mean how to do it in wmp,right? well,i know how to do with pc in wmp. i use audioshell. you can get it at www.softpointer.com/AudioShell.htm. what i mean is nokia should upgrade 3250 music player so it can show us album art. b'cuz n70 came before 3250, it support album art,why not nokia music edition like 3250? it quite ashamed a music phone doesn't support this feature.....

  • HT5444 I am at 10.7.5 on a 2009 Macbook Pro.  Why should I upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I am at 10.7.5 on a 2009 Macbook Pro.  Why should I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    In ways, Mountain Lion is a more efficient operating system than Lion, however, if you are happy with Lion and it meets all of your needs, there is o reason to change.  You can easily enough compare the features of the two and see if you are missing something that is important to you.  And then decide if you want to change.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Why should we upgrade

    Why should we upgrade to windows server 2008 from windows server 2003 can we get some help on this  ?

    Microsoft support for Windows Server 2003 ends July 2015 (next year)

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2014/06/27/learning-from-cloud-what-are-your-windows-server-2003-migration-options.aspx
    After that time, no updates, patches, security updates will be available, and, Microsoft will not offer any kind of support services for it at all.
    At this point in the lifecycle, it would make much more sense not to upgrade to WS2008 (it is also not really very new).
    Suggest you consider WS2012R2, or, consider if you really need a server at all, given the many options now available for hosted services, cloud, etc.

  • "Outlook Data File" vs. My email address - Why both?

    When I go to the Outlook Mail tab and select Folders View, I see two groups of items:
    - Outlook Data File
    - [email protected]
    Both have an Inbox, Sent Items, Deleted Items, Junk Email and Search Folders entry with the Outlook Data File also having Calendar, Contacts, etc.
    My question is Why both?  The "mail" entries in the Outlook Data File don't contain the entries in the other, and I don't see any way to set the Outlook Data File entries to have my settings.

    OK - I figured it out.
    When I installed Outlook I let it set up my email account for me and the account wound up as an IMAP account instead of a POP3 account.  When I deleted the email setup and then created the POP3 account manually it let me choose "Use existing Outlook data file and now everything is back to normal, i.e., There is only "Outlook" and a single set of maibox entries.
