Will These Applications Run? (Updating from 10.6.8 to 10.8)

Hi. I have a Mac that is running OSX 10.6.8.
Processor: 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk: Macintosh HD
I am going to be getting SimCity on Thursday and when I went through the game specs I had everything except it said I need OSX 10.7.5. I thought I might as well go and upgrade to 10.8 instead. But I have a few questions.
1. Will SimCity run at all with 10.6.8 (Ex. Maybe it will have bad FPS)?
2. If I upgrade to 10.8 will Minecraft, Steam (I have Left 4 Dead 2, Civ 5, Garry's Mod, and Don't Starve), and Google Chrome all work?
3. Are there some applications that might not work when I upgrade? I have Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
4. What do you think I should do? Upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8?
Thanks in advance.

1) No. It requires 10.7.5. It will not run on Snow leopard.
2) Yes.
3) These applications will all still work. For the most part, applications will work on upgradeed OS X as they are backwards compatible in many regards.
4) It depends on your system specs. ML uses much more memory than any of its predecessors because it runs of a 64 bit kernel exclusively.The minimum required is 2 GB RAM, but that will not cut it for your purposes. If you have memory limitations, I would stick with the lion upgrade.

Will I need to update from Mountain Lion (10.8.4) to Mavericks prior to the Yosemite rollout this fall?

I am running Mountain Lion (10.8.4) currently. I rolled back to Mountain Lion from Mavericks back in October 2013 because I was having problems with it. However, I've heard there are improvements to Maverick since my initial install. My question is will I need to update from Mountain Lion to Maverick in order to update to Yosemite this fall? Thanks in advance.

If your goal is to install Yosemite upon its release, I doubt you will need to do it from Mavericks.
If Mountain Lion does not have features you need and Yosemite will, then, as WZZZ suggest, give Yosemite a chance to have any bugs worked out first.
If your concern is security, Mavericks is the current OS but Apple is still providing Security Updates for Lion, so Mountain Lion should still be good to go for a while yet.

I used the utility, MozBackup.exe, to create: Firefox___.pcv and Thunderbird___.pcv. How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru

Firefox Team,
I used the utility, MozBackup.exe, to create:
Firefox 3.6 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv
Thunderbird 13.0.1 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv
How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru?
Thanks in Advance,
Kenny

You are giving conflicting information
Your question started with "How do I import or use these files to update from AutoCADGuru to ProCADGuru? "
Then you said:
"Autodesk's legal department threatened me with a law suit, because my domain name had “AutoCAD in it. So I change it to ProCADGuru. I created” Firefox 3.6 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv and Thunderbird 13.0.1 (en-US) – 2013-02-10.pcv to back everything up. Now I need to know how to use them to restore all of that saved data and update it to my new domain. "
Then you said:
"How do I import or use these files to update from www.AutoCADGuru.com to www.ProCADGuru.com?"
So all that you have explained so far has been about closing down one webhost and moving to another, which has nothing to do with Firefox or Thunderbird.
Then today you say:
"I need to know how to use these to restore all of my Address books, email books, sent, saved, and settings for both Firefox and Thunderbird. "
What is the problem you are trying to solve here? is this about transferring Email settings in Thunderbird, Bookmarks in Firefox, moving a website from one host to another, or something totally different?

I have a older MacBook I upgraded memory two 3 gb from its original two but it still will not let me update from snow leopard to maverick I have plenty of available ram does anyone know why

I believe it is running an older version of maverick it is 10.6.8 but it will not let me update any further . I added 3gb of ram to upgrade from the original 2gb it came with but still no updates are being allowed Does anyone have any idea why this is ? I am sure the criteria for the upgrade is available so I don't know why I can not up date it?

10.6.8 is Snow Leopard.
Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)

If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

Will Verizon tech run Ethernet from ONT to Router?

I am thinking of switching to FiOS and getting 150Mbps internet. I understand the std coax install can't handle these higher speeds. If the ONT is installed in the basement, will the tech run ethernet cable to the router which I want placed in my home office on the 1st floor? Would there be an extra charge if done as part of the new install? Thanks.

Think I'd provide the connection myself at the point where I'd like it to be. Typically any electrician would do this for you.

App will not open after update from market.

I have an android app that when I publish an update and the user downloads the update the app will not open. It opens for a second and then closes.
This happens even if I do not change anything in the update.
The only thing I can find is that after downloading the update I clear the cache and it works fine. My question is does anyone know why this might happen. Also is there a way to clear the cache at time of update.

ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.
i created the app with version 1.0.0
uploaded it to my server on the net.
hit the web address from my phone, downloaded and installed
then changed the version number to 1.0.1
uploaded this apk
downloaded and installed to phone
app would then open for sec then close
only fixable by clearing application cache.
I can't believe the answer to this problem is not available by googling it.
has no one else encountered this?
please help, i am scared to release any updates to my programs - massive influx of email from mad users who can not open there apps.

Win 8.1 will not load after update from 8.0

I have a M6-K010dx with win 8. Was fine for 2 years untill updated win 8.1. Now can not access nor recover or re-install win 8. Was purchased at Best Buy but was not given any software or keys. No keys on bottom. When trying to re-install system it says partistion is not there for use. I have tried to call Best Buy and they say I must buy new software and recovery disks. I have tried to boot from USB but will not do it. Have changed in bios for boot order. I do not have a USB DVD but cnan probably get one. If I DL ISO I will not have key to use.
It would appear that as the screen flashes on and off that it may be a video driver problem but have no way of fixing if it is. Do not think I should have to buy new software as I paid for it at purchase and not sure if I did I could install from USB. Because of the lack of rercover partition not there I would think I was sold a defective system.
Any help appreciated.

Hi @guaranteed ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your Windows 8.1 not loading correctly after an update. Windows 8.1 is just an update and would not remove your partition.
You can reinstall Windows 8 with any Windows 8 disk as long as it is the same version as yours. Windows 8 Home or Windows 8 Professional. It will install and update with no issues.
You might want to look at this document on some different options.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Will carbon applications run on Intel Macs?

Getting a new Mac soon and I still have some old carbon apps. Will they run on the new Intel Macs?
Thanks.

Yes. If they are Universal Binaries then they will run natively, otherwise they'll run under Rosetta emulation.

Will there be an update from 9-10?

I had to buy the app version of Logic 9 a few weeks ago because I couldn't get my boxed bersion of 9 to load on my new Macbook for some reason and had project deadlines. Will there be any upgrade offered?? I'm sure I'm not alone when I say had there been some sort of press release or announcement I would've waited for 10.

no I agree the price makes sense, all of my other DAW upgrades are around that as well - just saying the timing w/no announcement beforehand *****. my bad luck.

We've purchased applications off of iTunes. Will we lose these when we update to 5.0 software?

you shouldn't. Be sure to backupp your iPad before you do the upgrade.
what should happen is that you hook up the iPad, download the iOS5, it installs it, which wipes the iPad, then iTunes automatically restores your apps and settings from backup.
Worst case scenario, as long as iTunes doesn't glitch, it knows what you've downloaded and you can redownload at no cost.
When I did the iOS upgrade, I did it on a new iPad (mine had an issue and I had just exchanged it for a new one) I made my new iPad a restore of my old one, did the upgrade, and my n ew one was an exace replica of my old one, minus a week (it'd been a week since my last backup)

Any update from 3.6 will not run

Any installed update from
3.6.3 will not run.
Is not shown on program list but exe file shown in task manager

OK. Try this:
1. Delete the taskbar icon by right clicking it and selecting "unpin this program from taskbar."
2. Click the Start button. Click All Programs and find "Adobe Lightroom 3.6 . . ." This should show up near the top of the program list.
3. First, left click this item to be sure it works to open the program. [If not, I'm out of ideas and you may have to re-install Lightroom.] If it does work, close Lightroom (once it has opened).
4. Click the start button and locate Lightroom 3.6 again. This time, Right-click this item - holding down the right mouse button - and drag it to an open area of the taskbar. You should see a prompt to "Pin this Program to Taskbar." If so, release the mouse button, and the new icon will appear on the taskbar. Try clicking this icon normally and LR should open for you,

If I update from OS X 4.1 to OS X 6.8 will I be able to run software I was using on my defunct MacBook Pro running OS X 8?

If I update from OS X 4.1 to OS X 6.8 will I be able to run various software I was using on my defunct MacBook Pro running OS X 8?

It depends on whether or not the program supports 10.6.8. Some commercial software may need to be reinstalled from the original media/downloads.

Request to run updater.exe from an unknown publisher starting firefox

every time Firefox is started from initial turn on of computer (not from the computer being hibernated or in sleep mode), I receive a message to run Updater.exe from an Unknown Publisher. There is nothing to show that this is a Firefox application but, I am not receiving any threat messages either. Is there any way to find out where this Updater is coming from and if it is to be trusted?

Do you use a Norton security suite? If so, I suggest checking with Norton's support on whether that prompt is legitimate.
You will find numerous unofficial distributors advertising on Google for Firefox downloads. These generally are bundles of crap along with Firefox. You should check to make sure you don't have such a thing installed.
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help surface undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
You can supplement your regular security software with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Does that help?
