Will I lose my programs updating from 10.5.8 to 10.6 OS?

I want to update from 10.5.8 to 10.6 OS on my MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz 2 GB 667 MHz. I have my personal docs backed up. Will I lose my programs such as Parallels, CS4, and Microsoft Office?

You shouldn't, but Verify the Hard Drive first, & also it might be pretty slow with only 2 GB of Memory.
Some Apps may not run though.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

If I download the newest version of iTunes to my Mac will I lose everything on iTunes from my version i have now

You should lose nothing.
However, this does not change the fact that you should ALWAYS have a backup copy of everything in your computer, including itunes.
You should ALWAYS make sure that your backup copy of your computer is up to date before any update, restore, etc.

Mac os x 10.4 to 10.6, will I lose the programs on the computer?

If I have mac os x 10.4 and I switch to 10.6 will I lose the programs on the computer? If so how can I save them?

An "Archive and Install," one of the OSX install options, preserves apps and your settings. However, Adobe uses some pretty tough copy protection schemes, so I can't say DC3 will be OK in confidence. Best to use the Adobe Knowledge Base for older versions of their products.
Some disk sets cannot upgrade 10.4 to 10.6 without having 10.5 installed. I believe the version of 10.5 that came in the box set with iLife would work.

If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

Depends on how you do it
If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
Then install Windows your data should not be touched
If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

Will I lose all my work from free trial to purchase?

Hi, my free trial of Lr is ending in 4 days. I have lots of photos in my library and am working on a Blurb book. I'll need more time with Lr but how can I subscribe and keep my current content? In other words, if I signup to buy Lr, will I lose all the content I worked on during the free trial period or will it transfer to the new account?

No, you won't lose anything. If you purchase Lightroom from Adobe online and receive a serial number, you can activate the trial version you are now using. And even if it requires installing a new Lightroom program for some reason, it won't have any effect on your work. All of your work is stored in the catalog which is a user file. And user files are not replaced or modified when updating.

What will I lose when I update my iPod?

I have a 2nd generation iPod touch, and it hasn't been updated for a long time. I want to update it now but I don't have a current iTunes for it because the old iTunes was in my computer that is now broken. I have an iPod shuffle with an iTunes library now in my new computer. If I connect my iPod touch with the iTunes, will I lose all my music? Will I also lose all my Notes in my iPod touch (I have ALOT of notes on there that are special..)? I want to update my iPod touch so i could download some apps that require iOS 4.0. The version of my iPod touch is 3.1.3 (7E18). What can I do to update my iPod without losing everything? I mean its fine if I lose my music (i don't have much on there) but I need my notes. Thanks for helping.

If you really have a 2G iPod you can go as far as 4.2.1. To identify your iPod See:
Identifying iPod models
I am asking this since a 1G iPod can only go to 3.1.3.
To resolve your broken computer issue:
- Transfer iTunes purchase by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from tha tbackup. This will also update the iPod if you have a 2G iPod.

Windows 8.1 will not get Forefront Client Updates from WSUS

Recently I noticed that my Windows 8.1 clients were not getting updates from WSUS 3.2. After some searching I found it was an issue with HTTPS and the solution was to disable HTTPS or enable TLS. So I enabled TLS on the Server 2008 R2 WSUS server
and that fixed the issue with my 8.1 clients not getting updates except for Forefront Endpoint Protection 2010. My SCCM server deploys the client fine but it is version 2.1 and normally the client and definition updates come from WSUS with the
latest client version being 4.5. However, my Windows 8.1 machines will not get the client updates even though they are automatically approved for all machines.
I am just wondering what else I can check or change to make sure my Windows 8.1 clients get the Forefront client updates as they should?? I am wondering if I manually install the 4.1 client update if it will take the client updates after that.
I only have about eight Windows 8.1 machines so if I have to do that by hand for now then I will and I think my organization will be moving to Server 2012 and SCCM 2012 this summer sometime.

I reread your post and have another suggestion. If your SCCM 2007 server is still deploying the old 2.1 FEP client version, then you should install the latest anti-malware platform update for the SCCM server so you can deploy it from there instead of WSUS:

Also, you may be affected by this:
"Anti-malware platform updates on MU will use special detection logic and applicability rules to make the anti-malware platform updates available only on computers with previous N-2 anti-malware platforms installed. For example, on April 8<sup>th</sup>,
anti-malware platform of version 4.5.x will be released on MU, and it will only be offered to computers where anti-malware platform version 4.3.x or 4.4.x is available. If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version 4.1.x, it has to be upgraded to version
4.3.x first, then to the latest version (4.5.x). If a computer has FEP or SCEP client with version older than 4.1.x, because of the same N-2 rule, it has to be upgraded to 4.1.x first, then to 4.3.x, and then to the latest version (4.5.x). Required updates
will be kept on MU to ensure that this upgrade process is available for computers running older versions of the Microsoft anti-malware platform."

When i use restore on my ipod will i lose all my purchases from my lib

when i use my restore on my ipod will i lose just what is on the ipod not all my purchases in my lib

Restoring an iPod has no affect on iTunes or your library. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings, so if you have songs on your iPod that aren't on iTunes you will lose them if you have no back up. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

Will I lose plants vz zombies from my ihone after upgrade to ios 6?

I have ios 3 on my iphone 3gs and I want to upgrade to ios 6.
Will I lose the progress of plants vs zombies game?
Please help me if you know the answer.
Thanks.

No bother at all.
Try restoring the phone from the backup created just prior to upgrading to iOS 6, but if the messages are not restored, I know of no way to restore them.
Be sure to periodically back up your iPhone using iTunes, and make sure that computer has a backup as well.

If I re-install my podcast app with a different apple ID will I lose all the media from the older one ?

I have the Podcast app installed on my iPhone with a lot if free media content downloaded.
Now I need to re-install the app with a different apple ID.
Will I lose all my content by doing do ?
Please help. I don't want to lose anything.
Please let me know if there is a work-around.

You don't really want a new Apple Account (which is what you are describing) - all of your iTunes purchases will still be tied to the old Apple Account, all of your iCloud info will be under that old Account, all of your Messages will be under that old Account.
Why not just to to Manage your Apple ID and edit your Apple ID to the new email you want it to be? You cannot edit an Apple ID using an Apple Domain email address (@me.com, @mac.com, @iCloud.com), but if your current ID is not using one of those type of email addresses, then changing it is the way you want to go. That way, everything stays with the Apple ID since it is the same Apple account.
Just be sure to sign out of all apps on the device (iCloud, Messages, iTunes & App Store, FaceTime) before you change it.
To EDIT your current Apple ID at Manage your Apple ID go to: Apple - My Apple ID

If I have Microsoft Office installed on my computer and I upgrade the OS, will I lose that program?

I downloaded Office using an internet purchase through school and am not sure if I have the capabilities to log back in to download it since I graduated. I want to upgrade to the new operating system, but do not want to have to purchase Office again. Thank you!

You should not lose the program, but make sure you have the installation code as you may have to re-enter it to activate Office after the upgrade.

Will there ever be an update from IOS 5.1.1 for an iPad 1 ?

I had an an iPad 3g( I know it's very old ) which is running on iOS 5.1.1 . And I always wish for an update.
Will there ever be one.Its not of much use but still an update could make it better.

Yes. If you have an iPad 3rd Generation you can upgrade to iOS 6.x.x. If you have a first generation, then no.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

Time Machine will not back up after updating from 10.2 to 10.3

This just started yesterday so it has to be due to the update.
The following error message is given in the Time Machine settings:
The backup disk needs 257.55 GB for the backup but only 234.84 GB are available. Select a larger backup disk or make the backup smaller by excluding files.
250 free gigs on my backup disk but it can't make the backup? What? I currently have 900GB filled on my regular hard drive but I don't back up all of it. I exclude about 150GB from backup, so the machine estimates the total backup size to be 759GB. The backup drive already has 764GB filled, so I'm not sure where all this extra info is coming from. Haven't downloaded anything besides the new update.
Any ideas on what to do?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
tmutil compare | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
The command may take several minutes to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Don't post all the output; just read it yourself. Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
Files that you’ve excluded from backup, or that are excluded automatically, are ignored.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.
Caution: Under some conditions, tmutil may falsely flag files as not having been backed up when in fact they have been. It can be confused by multi-linked files, or by files with a modification date earlier than the one in the snapshot. This will not be an issue for most users. If the results of the above procedure surprise you, inspect your snapshots directly.

HT4889 Will I lose my programs on one mac if I transfer it through another with Migration Assistant?

I want to transfer Microsoft Office Word from my father's macbook to my macbook.
If I transfer it through Migration Assistant, will the program get deleted off of his computer?

When you use the Migration assistant, the information is copied (not moved) from the "old" computer to the "new" one. Keep in mind that if you continue to run it on the "old" computer as well as on the "new" one, you will most likely be in violation of the EULA for that software (aka performing software piracy). You will need to check the license agreements of the software, and quite possibly buy new licenses, if you intend to use it on both computers.

Will I lose my programs updating from 10.5.8 to 10.6 OS?
