Will upgrading to new OS clear out my data on my Mac

Will upgrading to new Apple OS clear out my data on my MAC? Or shall I get to keep all my files, photographs, music, documents?

Apple OS upgrades retain your programs, files, photos, music etc.
Of course it's good practice to have a good backup before you upgrade, just in case..

I purchased Lightroom 5 in December 2014. It was my understanding that I would get free upgrades when new versions come out. I attempted to download LR 6 and it said that the download was happening but there was no progress bar showing. I left the downloading screen open for 3 hours but nothing happened.

Robert,
You can purchase Lightroom 6 as a part of the creative cloud photography package, part of creative cloud, as a stand alone product or as a product upgrade.
If you purchased lightroom 5 as a perpetual product rather than the creative cloud, you would need to purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6. Udpates are free for stand alone versions, but upgrades need to be purchased.
If you need to purchase an upgrade to a perpetual license that you downloaded or purchased at a store, see this link: Products . Scroll down to lightroom and click "buy". Click on the selectable text by " I want to: "and select "upgrade".
If you are trying to install Lightroom CC 2016 as a part of a creative cloud subscription, you should be able to download and install Lightroom CC 2015 from the Creative Cloud site. Since Lightroom CC is a new product, it will not show as an update in the Adobe Application Manager. Instead, press the install button next to Lightroom in the Application manager. If you don't see "install" by Lightroom in the application manager, please first try signing out and back in: sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app
If you still have issues, see option 2 in this link:
Lightroom doesn't launch or quits automatically after splash screen

If I choose a hard drive ask my backup disk for time machine, will it clear out the data that was previously stored in my hard drive?

If I choose a hard drive ask my backup disk for time machine, will it clear out the data that was previously stored in my hard drive?

Hello edjhsu,
Unless the drive is in a format that isn't compatible with Time Machine, the files will not be overrwitten. However it is typically a better idea to keep your files and your backup separate, especially since files on the Time Machine drive will not be backed up by Time Machine.

hi,
Before archiving you have to put the Deletion flag for the object(May be for PO, MMR etc as per your req.)...
After that the you use the archiving procedure to archive the docs which are already flagged for deletion...
For MMR you use the transaction SARA...and its respective object for the archiving....
You can use the SDN search to see the many threads on it...
Or use this link as per your req. and make the search...

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to new Mac. If I run Time Machine and "inherit" the old backups will TM take up where I left off, or delete and overwrite the current data?

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to the new Mac. I want to continue Time Machine on the new Mac and retain the history. An option is to "inherit" the old Time Machine. I want to make sure this does not errase the current data, but creates a current backup.

Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.

Will upgrading to new version of itunes delete my last iPad backup?

will upgrading to a newest version itunes delete my last iPad backup? I am currently running 10.5.0.142 and just installed iOS6 to my iPad2 and was prmpted to do a restore. Only problem is ituntes says I can't sync up my back up until I install the newest version of itunes.

no, updating versions does not delete your current library

Itunes Library that I swapped in after switching to new PC is out of date, missing ~3 months of added music

Hi,
I just got a new PC laptop (replacing a dying one) and transferred my Itunes library to its C drive from an external drive, and copied the Itunes Library folder over as well so that I wouldn't have to recreate playlists (and, more importantly, redo all of the checking-and-unchecking to make my chosen library fit on my 160GB Classic).
When the library first populated, I was very happy to see that checks-and-unchecks seemed in order, but then as I was syncing the Ipod to the new computer I realized that the library file must be out of date, as two or three months' worth of additions don't seem to be in there (even though the Library file says it was created on July 20). Is there anything I can do to find the most up-to-date library file on the external drive and put it in place on the new laptop? It's weird - the newer songs themselves are in the new Itunes Media folder, but they aren't showing up in my Itunes library unless i re-add them. This, and the fact that the last sync added stuff that I chose months ago to remove from my Ipod so as not to run out of space (I'm in the last 1.5GB or so), is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Search for all files of the form *.itl. The most recently modified one will be the active library. The one before may be the library that was most recently active on your previous system.
See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for tips on how to switch the library you want to access into the correct location.

My iMac thinks my brand new iPod is out of date!

HI - on my new imac, i have transfered my old itunes library via a portable hard drive. This went fine, with all my tunes now appearing on the new i.mac. To play them i was prompted to enter my old apple id (FROM 2002) that i set up with my old nano years ago.
Now, when i plug in the brand new i5.1 IPOD TOUCH which was bought with the imac last week, it says to me - "you need to update your itunes to 5" - yet its already 10!
I think it sees the new ipod as the old ipod - and i cant sync it - it just dosnt give mne the option.
I have registered my new id on all the devices / computers - the old one cant be entered asits not an email address

Thanks - I know, thats why I decided to get all upgraded. Its just that now that I have put my old library on the NEW i.mac, the NEW ipod touch isnt properly recognised. Like I said initially - now when I plug in the BRAND NEW IPOD TOUCH into the BRAND NEW IMAC, the imac tells me I need i,tunes 5 and to download it from the store - YET it already have itunes 10
gosh this is complicated isnt it?
anyone else got similar experience and solved it?

Can i upgrade the new OS X Lion for free if i bought my MacBook pro 13" around Apr 2011 in store?

Hi eveyone,i just check online that you are entitle for a free upgrade to new OS X Lion if you buy a mac book pro from June to July 2011. Can i upgrade the new OS X Lion for free if i bought my MacBook pro 13" around Apr 2011 in store?

When it says on Apples website that it runs from june - july 2011, I seriously doubt you can get it for free when you bought it already in April.
Cheers

When will the PSE12 editor be available from the Apple store for Mac?

What does it cost to upgrade when new versions come out? I've also read a warning that plug-ins don't work with this version of PSE. Should I care about this?

Based on last time, I would say it's a few months away yet. Yes, you should care about the difficulty of adding stuff to it (although with PSE 11 that got better for things like actions and layer styles), but more than that you should be aware that you are going to get locked out in short order if you ever need to reinstall. When adobe releases a new version of PSE in the app store, you lose the option to download your existing version again. So when PSE 11/app store came out, PSE 10/app store disappeared from the available purchases section for those who had bought it.
Another major point is that you can't update the raw converter for the app store version (well, you can, but it's major surgery, not a simple menu choice), so if you buy a new camera, you have a problem.
It's just not a good deal--you pay a lot more to get a lot less.

How do I stop the fake "Adobe Reader out of date" hijack

In IE I will get a fake "Adobe Reader out of date" screen from newupdate24.com. The screen looks official. I clicked on the update message and got loaded up with virus and malware.
The IE phishing filter is enabled and has no effect.

I'm sure you're probably correct about that but, it's not a Reader or Adobe issue. You'll want to start searching around for a forum or support site that has folks that deal with this sort of thing. Good luck.

Adobe Help: Creative Suite 5 always out-of-date?

Every time I open Adobe Help from any application, I get a message to update the content. This can be several times a day. I agree. I does and expands it. But in the local content listing, "Creative Suite 5" will list as "May 02, 2010" version, "out-of-date". I delete it (both on the Adobe Help app and on the finder), update it, to no avail. Next time I open the Adobe Help app it will prompt me to update the out-of-date local content. For a few days this was combined with a Flash CS5 help homepage error message, that has now disappeared and only the out-of-date local content issue remains... any ideas?

No, it's not that. When I go to the list under "Preferences/Local Content" all other files are "Current". And I can see that it is the only files that updates (it gets a blue update progress bar). Upon completion, it expands and again, posts as "May 02, 2010 out-of-date". Nothing else updates. If I close and reopen Adobe Help, this file will again be updated, repeating the same cycle...

I live in California but will be in New York next week during the launch of the iPhone 5. Will I still be able to "upgrade" out of state?

I live in California but will be in New York next week during the launch of the iPhone 5. Will I still be able to "upgrade" even though I'm from another state? I ask because my dad had problems doing this for the iPhone 3GS launch. He waited in line all day, finally got in the store and they told him it it not possible to upgrade if you reside in another state. I'm really hoping things have changed.

Based on your Dad's experience, I wouldn't rely on what you hear here. I'd call your carrier & the store you plan on going to.

I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs so my 2008 version of Mac Office and Intuit Quickbooks are blanked out. I need these programs. How do I proceed?

Upgrade to newer versions compatible with Lion or downgrade to Snow Leopard:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
