Questions about updates on IMac

I've not updated Imac

with Yosemite, I have before El Capitan?

No, you can go directly to El Capitan assuming that your Mac meets the specifications

https://support.Apple.com/kb/SP728?locale=en_US

In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. The idea that the updates/updates cause problems is probably derived from discussions that see you here. ASC is like an emergency room for people to have problems, especially the sick, those who come here. Not the hundreds of thousands of people pass without difficulty, never here and go merrily on their way. In addition to the improved features, updates/improvements important security fixes.

Things you should do before moving...

1. backup copy. Anything can happen at any time, so you should always keep a good backup. Make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or clone double or use TimeMachine.

2. If you have questions on your current system don't their compound by installing above them. Solve them first, and then upgrade.

3 control of HARD drive for free space. At least 8.8 GB of available storage. Preferably more.

4. check your applications for compatibility here... http://roaringapps.com/apps.

5. unplug all devices, including USB hubs.

6. After downloading the installer, it will be in the folder/Applications. Duplicate and drag the copy to other locations it download so if you want to save the installer.

7 be patient, the download takes a long time, and the installation may appear as sometimes it is dead. Ignore it.

  • Satellite X 200-219: Question about updating the display driver?

    Sad tales I've heard talk about manufacturers of laptop never updated to gfx card drivers apply to toshiba?

    Any info on the question of whether an update for their SLi systems drivers display is on the horizon?

    see you soon-

    The fact is that display driver cannot be updated daily as for desktop computers. Priority by the manufacturers of cell phones is worrying about the operation of the equipment. Using new graphics card drivers will be forced to run faster and better that offers better graphics performance. The result is essentially an overheating and may end with a faulty graphics card.

    In this case, the card mother together must be exchanged and it costs a lot of money. So, I think that no one can say with certainty when the next pilot will be available.

  • Question about updating models models

    I use Dreamweave CS3.

    I get this thing to model (I think).  But I have in fact two versions of the pages of my site.  I created a template, 'A' as the main template for the site with all the links, the headers and footers.  I've created and then model 'B' of A special sub-pages for the site with a background image.  Models A and B are similar links and page footers.  In fact, I used the command 'make model' on the common menu to identify the editable regions and create models.  Here's the question:

    If I update model, is supposed to update all pages spawned him.  If I update model A, it will be not only the update B model, but all pages created of model B as well?

    Thanks for your help,
    W!

    Have a look here-

    http://www.CSSzengarden.com

    Now, think about this.  Each page on this site has the SAME HTML.  The only difference is the CSS associated with each page.

    If you have that much flexability just by changing the CSS, why would you ever need nested models - and the answer is, do it not.

    The B or the secondary model, cloned from Master model, should be used for what I call the nave bar level pages.  This is exactly the same as that of master model has, but I included a background image in the editable div section.

    A simple style sheet embedded in the editable area of the head of this page of the child can make this background image to change it for you.  No need for nesting patterns.

    When you arrive at this page, you will see links to the other pages that I have created as content pages (using the main template).  Again, the only difference between A & B is the background image.

    If page B links are unique to the pages B, consider this-

    * create an editable region in A model, where you have to insert the menu for pages in B.

    * Save A template so that all your pages filled with this combo box.

    for A child pages, let the empty edit box.

    for pages B, insert either a DW library item containing your items of secondary navigation or a server-side include containing the navigation elements.

    You have all the benefits of working with only a model unique and all the flexibility of CSS page/content development and can provide SSI/library items.  No nested model!

    I have an Equium A100-027 with 1 GB of RAM (2 x 512MB modules)
    If I would like to raise the speed, which RAM modules would need? I also need a new graphic card, can I buy a graphics card or should it be some for my laptop?

  • Question about updating BIOS for my Satellite M40

    So, my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Support suggested me to update my Bios.
    OK, given that the last time, it was easy.

    I downloaded the newsest version vor my Satellite M40 (PSM40) (1, 70 - WIN<= i="" have="" an="" ati="" grafics="" card)="" and="" extracted="" the="" bios-20070709161345.zip="">
    But there was a surprise:
    Instead of getting the old data structure, as written in the FAQ update Bios
    1 extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
    2. in the folder temporary three subfolders will be generated. "docs", 'Update - 3.5' disc', 'Update - CD - R or CD - RW"

    I get a file only: BIOS of Windows Knockhill10GV170.exe
    Extraction of it I get 8 files:
    -fdbase.img
    -InsydeFlash.exe
    -iscflash.dll
    -iscflash.vxd
    -KPM170. ROM
    -Platform.ini
    -The c:\windows\system32\unicows.dll

    Now my question: How can I create this bootable CD-ROM to update my Bios?

    Just to know: download all the other things are done on my desktop from my laptop is not starting ;)
    I also tried to run the exe in the hope that it will create a floppy disk or a CD-ROM, but it is written "basic cfg address not found."

    Hello

    Update the BIOS there are two ways to do this:
    -Traditional mode (TRAD) and in this case, you need floppy
    -Windows (WIN) and this update can be done under operating system running.

    Update BIOS WIN will work if you run Windows on your laptop satellite. If I understand your assignment well you are trying to do traditional BIOS updated, but using the BIOS to WIN update. On the Toshiba download page, there are two listed BIOS updates and two of them as versions of WIN. This means that you can update the BIOS under operating system only.

    Back to your problem: in the history one thing confuses me when you write: my laptop does not start, but works recovery procedure. Sorry, but if the recovery procedure is working and you will have clean installed OS.

    Be a little more concrete in our laptop does not start. What happen exactly when you press the power button / stop?

  • Question about updating driver for Radeon HD3650

    Hello!

    Why don't update you video drivers on a regular basis?
    Some software and games require the latest video drivers from the manufacturer. But my Radeon HD3650 is not be accepted as compatible with the standard drivers from AMD/ATI's official website. When should I think about support?

    > Why don't update you video drivers on a regular basis?
    Who exactly do you mean?

    If you want to get an answer from Toshiba guys then you must communicate directly with these guys. This is a user to user forum

    Just a note; many laptops are equipped with the same graphics card, and as a result, you can also try some drivers released for other series of laptops with the same GPU chip.

    Good bye

  • Question about updating the BIOS for Qosmio G20

    I downloaded the updated the BIOS of my pc, not the Qosmio, the instructions say it will unpack into 3 files, one being a floppy disk installation. When I unzip on my desktop pc, it makes a file that s too big for a floppy and he won t unzip further because it locks up my pc.

    Is it safe to make it work on my desktop pc it can unzip then in the three files and this will affect my BIOS or y at - it somewhere that I can download the floppy part on its own to load on a floppy?

    Hello

    Just a question;
    You have downloaded the Qosmio G20 BIOS on the desktop computer, unpacked and now you want it please on the diskette in the floppy drive.
    Is this good?

    So now my suggestion;
    Firstly that the Qosmio G20 BIOS and other BIOS Toshiba cannot be updated using the floppy! This isn't traditional BIOS!
    The BIOS from the Toshiba page must be updated when the Windows operating system is running!

    By the way: you can unpack the BIOS on your desktop computer, but don t try to run all files, because the bad BIOS can damage the motherboard ROM module!

  • Question about updating the BIOS and drivers

    Hello

    First time user. How will I know if I need to update bios and drivers? I don't want to go crashing my system, just because Toshiba say these items are available for my laptop! They were probably in the updates of windows?

    Help, please.

    Hi Andy

    Welcome to our small community
    First a little advice you should always write the name of your laptop.

    OK now, to you in general I have a question would not recommend to update anything if you laptop and operating system is stable and you don t have problems.
    Of course the update of the driver is not risky, but I would only run updates some compatibility problems with 3rd party software or hardware appears.

    The update of the BIOS is risky. Wrong or bad BIOS update procedure could damage the ROM module on the map. So be careful.

  • Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

    One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

    Best regards, Marian

    I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

    No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

    To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

    Reach
    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
    and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

    Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
    After reading the manual you will be something like:

    1. program start, do something, restart the machine
    2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
    3. install the new driver
    3. reading of Bioshock
    4...
    5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

    So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

  • Satellite A60-106: Question about updating the BIOS and the BIOS Flash

    Fact the BIOS Flash update the BIOS or that requires a different file. I've updated a Satellite A60 BIOS to 1.9 but am not sure if cela flashed the BIOS as well.

    If this isn't the case, where I could get a file to Flash BIOS for satellite A60-106?

    Hello

    The update of the BIOS flashing the ROM module I put t know which version is installed before upgrading the BIOS, but if after the upgrade, a new version of the BIOS appears then the procedure was a success.

  • Vista - Question about updates

    Use Vista Home premium 32-bit with service pack visat

    Noticed last night I had 4 updates to download and install, 2 for Office 2007, then the Outlook Update spam, then for July's malicious software removal tool. Seems that it took a good 15-20plus minutes for updates download and install. Noticed when I checked several times, it seems to still be in the 3rd installation item which was the malicious software removal tool. Finally finished installing it took like 20 minutes

    also he told me to restart. Do youhave to restart after the installation and download?

    Software removal tool malicious downloads & scans. If nothing is found, it just "goes."

    If it does find something, believe me, you'll know about it!

  • question about updates

    Hello. I hope someone can help me with this little problem I'm having.

    I had some difficulties at the time with the SP1 update. When it is installed I could not access to the internet (internet explore kept closing). I uninstalled SP1 and everything worked fine. Then I tried to reinstall the SP1 update again and it completely messed up my pc. I couldn't get anything on the screen, except a message that the computer was trying to repair itself.

    The final result was having to call a dell technician who has done to restore my pc to factory settings.

    OK... I left then the computer download and install updates on its own (like the tech suggested) and everything worked great until this SP1 update became available. He says that its available for installation, but he won't do it on his own also by parameters, so now I wonder why it will not install on its own, and if I click install the SP1 update is he going to wreak havoc on my pc as before?

    Hi MowGreen. I checked and you were right because it did not completely downloaded. I only finished with 386 mb downloaded. I deleted everything I downloaded and ordered the installation of SP1 disc.

    Good. While you wait for SP1 coming, suggest that you run the Disk Defragmenter and check hard disk with disk check errors.

    I'm sorry about the copy of the file that I'm not sure how to move a file.

    There are several ways to move files. One of them being the use of the * right * click.
    Left , you can click on a file to highlight, then you click on file and drag and drop it to a location of your choice, then choose the option to move as opposed to the copy one.

    In any case, I want to thank you for all the help you gave me this problem. I will wait as the installation disc and try to get installed in this way.

    Have a nice day and good luck to you.

    You are most welcome, and here's hoping that the installation went smoothly. If you are having problems, suggest you post to the
    Forum Windows Vista Service Packs since this will be a manual installation of an SP vs using Windows Update to install it.
