Will there be a new OS soon?

Something has damaged my snow leopard disk, had to re-install using my original disk last night which is leopard. Just wonder if there is a new OS coming out soon before I go and purchase a new Snow Leopard disk?

Based on Apple's announcements, OS X 10.7 won't be available for at least three months.  OS X 10.6 only costs US$30.  I'd just buy another copy of Snow Leopard.

  • WILL THERE BE A NEW IPOD UPDATE SOON???

    Hey,
    Almost all 60GB 5G video ipod owners are having problems with video playback (freezes after 30 sec) using the new ipod software update 1.1. I had this problem also so I downgraded to the original software 1.0 however I am looking to purchase a radio remote that they just came out with but it requires this new upgrade to have the radio option on the ipod. So my question is: Will there be a new update that will fix this bug so that I can use BOTH the radio remote and be able to play videos back without the freezing (the 1.0 software plays video perfect, 1.1 makes videos freeze). It seems like apple is aware of this problem and has not released a new update to accomodate its customers as of yet. Is this in the works (if so how soon should we expect it?) or do they plan on just screwing its customers over who don't own itunes purchased videos or those converted using their quicktime pro? If thats the case I think theyre being unreasonable and unfair. Thanks a lot for any helpful response you may have!

    Your problem is with your choice of conversion software and the profile it uses. There is nothing wrong with the IPOD last update. To my knowledge, Apple never stated they could or would support the many flimflam conversion software makers out to make a quick buck. I had my 30 and 60 Gb 3 days after they hit the market. Both play all types of video files converted using the MPEG Simple Profile. I use industry proven software and not "Freeware" spliced together. I have proved this point many times over the past few months to IPOD owners reporting this problem. Why do my files play and theirs don't? Well on Feb 24, I gave access to my server to download videos converted properly to IPOD owners via another website. My server went to 100% load within the first half hour. Over 6,000 files were downloaded within 1 hour. No one to date via the link I posted, reported any problems playing the files on the 1.1 IPOD Update. Many thanked me for the effort. I don't make my servers directly available to the public as routine, but was convinced this public test would put an end to the many complaints. In addition, over 60 individuals sent me files converted by software that they use or purchased. Of the 60 files 12 were just plain corrupted and the remianing 48 files revealed that the audio and video was not in compliance with the IPODs hardware specifications. I am 100% certain that Apple is aware of the complaints concerning this issue. So what do you expect them to do, fix their hardware or make the software makers fix theirs?
    I have and tested the following devices. All have a mix of different video standards.
    IPOD 30 and 60g
    Creative Zen and Zen Vision M:
    Archos Gmini 402, AV 500 and AV 700
    iRiver PMC-120 and just received the "New" U10
    iStation V43

    Do a little research using Google and you would be amazed at the solutions to this issue you are having. Good Luck!

  • I have a eMac PowerMac4 and use quarkXpress (v 5) and filmaker pro 6 (v 1) and will be purchasing a new iMac soon. Will I have problems using these programs?

    I currently have an eMac and will be buying a new iMac soon and need to use the QuarkXpress (have v. 5) and FileMakerPro (have 6 v. 1) software for a current formatted newsletter I produce. While I can get the latest version of FileMaker pre-installed by Apple, Quark is no longer available at Apple. If I purchase QuarkXpress 8 (I have read there are problems with v. 9), will I be able to add my current files to the iMac and have everything work?  Thanks.

    I found that the QuarkXPress (v. 5) has the ability to Export and Save As....
    I tried save as, but didn't see any way to have it saved as anything other than the Quark.
    I also have found this in a apple forum:
    This solved my questionRe: Will Quark 7.5 work with the new Lion upgrade?
    Aug 31, 2011 7:35 AM (in response to machttps)
    Have just installed Lion and Quark 7.5 works well plus Adobe CS3 with the Java Run updates etc very pleased with the new Lion from Appple.
    I don't understand how this poster could get Quark to work on Lion, I thought I read Quark requires rosetta to run it (or maybe the Fix for the end of August took care of that). However, this person had the 7.5 already, but I can only upgrade to a certain level while in Tiger, so this apparently is where the problem arises (?).
    I also have come across a disc to update Quark to 5.01, but that's not much I suppose.
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

  • Will there be a new bios

    Will there be a new bios for the K8N neo platinum? or is 1.4 the last.
    I know beta bioses are available, but I don't want to use those.

    T2faag , yes there will be a new bios for Neo1 .Beta out with name 1.5b6 is proof of that .
    When they are satisfied with the 1.5Betas they will release a 1.50 official based
    of one or several of the betas with possible som last changes or merged changes.
    But have no idea of the timeframe .
    (boogieman ! you refer to Neo2 not Neo1 )

  • Will there be a new Technical Communication Suite when CS5 will be released next month ?

    Dear Forum,
    will there be a new Technical Communication Suite when CS5 will be released next month (April 2010) ?
    We are close ordering the Technical Communication Suite 2 - will there be a grace period to get the
    new version without getting charged again ?
    Greetz from Europe,
    Speedtriple

    I'm wondering about that too.
    I've been stuck before when I bought TCS, then tried to upgrade just Captivate when v4 was released, and couldn't do it.  Took months to get my money back for the CS4 download.
    Seems that anyone who buys a suite gets penalized for it.  Surely it's in Adobe's best interest to upgrade users who invested in the more expensive product?

  • Will there be a new ipod touch coming??

    With the new 3G iphone S which is faster, will there be a new ipod touch coming? Thinking of buying an ipod touch but not too sure if it is worth the wait for a newer model.

    will there be a new ipod touch coming
    It's almost certain there will be an new iPod touch coming. I doubt very much that they have stopped developing and discontinued the iPod touch with the existing models.
    The question is "when?", and no-one outside Apple knows that.
    Thinking of buying an ipod touch but not too sure if it is worth the wait for a newer model.
    Does the current model do everything you want? Is it at a price you think reasonable? If so, buy it.
    If not, wait for a model that does do what you want at a price you like.

    привет! Не могли бы вы сказать мне, будет ли новая версия IMAC Monoblok компании Apple в 2012 году это будет сенсорный?

    No one has any idea what new products Apple may release except Apple themselves and they have not made any announcements.
    Никто не имеет ни малейшего представления, какие новые продукты Apple,может выпустить Apple, кроме себя, и они не сделали ни одного объявления.

  • ZFD Kernel Modification Patch: will there be a newer one?

    Hello Marcus,
    meanwhile there is this new named forum, and maybe the dust settled down yet, so
    pls let me ask once more:
    Is there / will there be a newer kernel patch then
    http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/...-2.4.18-4.0-p1.
    tgz
    or ...
    is this still the valid one Novell itself used to compile the _ir6 and _ir7 stuff?
    Regards, Rudi.

    Hi.
    Ive knowledge to do this. I made a vmware machine with a redhat 7.1 system
    and the 2.4.18 patch for zenworks for desktops imaging in the past. Now i
    need an new system with new kernel (>2.4.32 and 2.6.x) and would share this
    to the public and participate to this project.

  • When will there be a new update?

    I just purchased two Xperia Mini Pro phones.
    I really like the phones and it said the updated to ICS is avaible right after connecting them to a PC.
    The problem is that I read some topics here before deciding on upgrading and the missing or none working notification light is no go for me.
    The whole reason I purchased Sony phones where because they had light notifications and most phones don´t. That and of course other features I like, like excellent camera and small phones. If you happen to receive important notifications you can´t check the phone every 5 minute when you leave the desk. Not being able to see notifications blinking its just a disaster. And Sony says this is to save battery? Honestly do you think this saves like hours of battery? I don´t think so and the feature is more important than anything else on a phone, if you leave the phone for a while or are in a noise enviroment its all you have  to check something new is coming your way.
    I also read the camera is slow and has problems. Its pretty clear that Google has fixed most of this issues in Jelly Bean, you can´t see almost any new features but because most of the work is behind in the core, its called project butter for a reason. To make the ICS run as smoth as possible.
    Would it not be smart for Sony to jump to Jelly Bean to fix the performance and most issues on this phones? That is maybe asking to much but at least if they can make ICS run stable.
    My phones says there is an update available 4.1.B.0.431.
    So I just denied the updates, until a new one comes, one that fixes the current issues.
    I know its just to recent since Sony started to roll ICS, so bugs are expected. But I really hope they keep sending fixed and patches to make run as smoth without killing phone basic features like notifications, performance, camera, etc.
    Please someone update this topic when there is a new updated after 4.1.B.0.431
    I could not find a single changelog on Sony website so I can´t actually check when there will be a new update as there is nothing to compare with it either.

    You mean on the phone or where? Sorry, I just got the phones.
    From the phone itself it says there is no update. From the PC Companion it says there is a new version 4.1.B.0.431. available. I did not even set the language on phones, so there is really absolutely nothing on it. A full OS upgrade would be the smart thing to do.
    But since I read most people have a slower experience on ICS, im really confused. If I had this phone months before of course I would just used what was available, but since I have both options now, what comes as stock and the update im a limbo about my decision. And since the update is very, very new. I could also say, give Sony a few weeks or months to get things right and then upgrade.
    I don´t know why some people talk so great about ICS vs Gingerbread because what I see now on the phones is just amazing and very nice. I don´t see how it can be even better. Of course if performance is going to be an issue I prefer to wait. I don´t the phones now. I have my current phone so I can just put them on the box and wait until a stable release is available.

  • When will there be a new update of FirmWare for N9...

    I am wondering and would like to know why has there yet to be a new updated fw available for the Nokia N95-3? All the other versions have received fw updates, the N95-1, N95-2, and N95-4. Is there a problem that there is no new fw update yet for N95-3? Where is it!? I would like to be able to use the phone, know it has the up to date fw available for it to be more stable and working properly. I know I will have problems with this phone when I get a 16gb micro sd hc card because the firmware has yet to be updated! Nokia can't neglect the US customers who have bought their phones! If this keeps up I will definitely not buy a Nokia in the future.

  • When will there be a NEW UPDATE for the 5800?

    Im loving the phone, but there hasnt been a new significant update for the phone in a long time.
    Really een for a new update ay, hopefuly widgets nd stuff for the home screen...

    The problem you're referring to is the responsibility of the networks.
    When a new firmware version is released it is given to the mobile network operators for branding and approval before being released to the general public. Operators are then supposed to make any modifications they want to the firmware (such as removing features, adding their logo etc.) and return it to Nokia for distribution via Nokia Software Update. The idea is that the new firmware will be available to users of branded phones and generic, unbranded phones more or less at the same time.
    The problem with this theory is that firmware updates are about as high on the priority list of mobile network operators as looking for the Loch Ness monster. They really don't care about customers that they've already hooked and making sure their phones are up to date, they'd much rather concentrate their efforts on giving people new phones (and locking them into new contracts). The end result of this is that Nokia never receive the modified firmware from the operators, which also means that you can't update your phone because there's no new firmware to install on it. When queried about this by their customers, network operators will lie as a matter of routine and claim that they never received the updated firmware from Nokia, or that they returned it and Nokia never released it anyway. They will say anything to shift the blame away from themselves and make the manufacturer, or sometimes even the customer!, take the blame.
    Some operators are better than others at approving updates. Unfortunately for you, Orange is among the worst.
    The fact remains that the ball is in your operator's court now. V20 has been long since released and V21 was also released a couple of months ago. If they aren't available via NSU then that means that your operator hasn't yet bothered branding them and returning them to Nokia for distribution. The only people who can offer any help are your network operator. You need to hound them until they get themselves into gear and do something about it. Nokia can't help you because they can't distribute formware that they've not been given by the operator.

  • Will there be a new airport express like the new airport base station?

    Will the airport express be upgradable to the "N" standard? (I doubt it.)
    If you want to use your airport express with the new Base stations wouldn't it screw up the "Pre-N" mode? (I don't doubt it)
    Is apple saying that one wouldn't need an airport express to extend the reach of the new base station because the new "Pre-N" modes have so much more range? (I think so).
    Does this mean that apple will be making a new version of the Airport express with A,B, G and "Pre-N" ? How cool would that be? I want one of those!!
    IMHO the airport express is the coolest Network device available for use with either Macs or WINdoz machines. It is just plain cool. It seems to me that the new Base station has little or no place in it's heart for it's older little brother.

  • Will there be a new ipod classic released soon?

    Am thinking of buying a new classic but have seen that the nano, shuffle etc have just been upgraded. Are there any plans or expectation that the classic will be refreshed soon too?
    Thanks.

    Well Apple just made their announcement for the new iPod Touches but doesn't look like any changes were made to the Classic.

  • Will there be a new update to Time Capsule soon?

    I've got the latest firmware rev for my Time Capsule, 7.3.2, and I noticed there haven't been any updates since July 2008.
