What should I do before upgrading 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?
As much as I like the snow leopard, it really is time to move my iMac 2010 on a more modern operating system. I am very nervous, especially since Apple is not a disc available for purchase to upgrade to a disc.
Apart from backing up (I have Time Machine on a separate drive), is there anything else I should do before upgrading to El Capitan? Should I disconnect the Machine from the first time?
I know I'll lose the ability to use some older programs, but I can live with that.
I fixed the permissions a couple of weeks - at this point, it's just the things that appear like fixing all the time (which IIRC are things that are supposed to be that way, but see the place as a 'bad').
Thank you.
While Time Machine is a form of backup, I strongly suggest that you make a full bootable backup on an external drive and test by starting from it before upgrade you.
In addition, as a suggestion for the future, by releasing a new OS, you can download the installer, leave when it starts to run and put aside, just in case. When El Capitan was released, Yosemite became unavailable unless you had already "bought". The same was the Mavericks and earlier versions of OS X when disks for the delivery of OS X are out of style.

What should I do before selling iwatch?
My Apple Watch was linked to an iPhone.then I reset the iPhone and sell it to another.
now what should I do before selling the iWatch now?
Hello
Before selling your watch:
- Pair it with your iPhone (if you bought another);
- Disable iPhone pairing using the application of the watch.
This will erase your watch and is also a reliable way to remove Activation lock him (so that a buyer will be able to pair the watch with their own iPhone).

Upgrade process works on Snow Leopard, fails on Lion
So I bought the upgrade to 7.0.1 (PPC version) on my old Mac Book Pro under Snow Leopard, Acrobat X. It installed correctly and accepted the old license on my older machine, which is loaded with the (7.0.1) OS version that supports always code PPC. However, I can't seem to load and accept the license even on the new machine. Because I can not install the old copy from Adobe on my new machine, as Lion can't stand not all PPC apps, the new upgrade fails. I tried to copy the old product more to my new machine just to see if something in the code would allow new software to find, but it fails. To be clear, it * works * on my old laptop, so old my mother in law license was valid (I was worried she might be licensed to teaching or something). But it will not accept the old license on my new laptop. Does anyone know a solution to this? A kind of workaround? Adobe can provide me with a valid license that does not require this old code, since in the future, I'm having this same problem on newer machines?
Well, that is a good question. I liked the idea of being able to open and edit PDF files that people could send me. PDF to Word and Excel.
But for the life of me, I have not needed more than maybe once in recent years. I sold the computer today and let the application on this subject, with the warning that he cannot be upgraded. Overall, I think that Adobe does a good job of customer service, on equal footing with Apple, in my humble OPINION, and my experience is pretty much an outlier. I assume that in the world of statistical analysis, they can afford to have me have an experience like that, because it is unlikely to be repeated much. If it was 2 k $, I could have raised a little more than a line. For example, its legal application of Framemaker, is completely unable to be upgraded at this stage. Thus all writing she did must be retyped so let's revive old books it publishes. Maybe we can send to the India since no one seems to want to support jobs in America more (G). Adobe seems not to want to upgrade funds, and so it goes. In any case, we consider this case closed. If I'm a little irritated, it's a minor issue and not a rant. Detective Conan.

I'm afraid that all my files on disk: D will disappear. And how do I know that my existing drivers and programs are compatible with windows 10?
Hi JC Nero,.
Windows 10 being an upgrade of your existing operating system, it would be absolutely not delete or edit your files, settings, programs, etc. Your PC after the upgrade to windows 10 would be same.
However if you choose a clean installation, the contents of your drive where is installed earlier OS might be deleted if you format.The answer to your question is given by Windows 10 App itself. To check compatibility:
- Open Windows 10 booking App.
- at the top left, click on the Menu (3 vertical lines)
- Click on the control of your PC.
- It will show if there are problems with compatibility.
It will be useful.

What should I do before you sell or get rid of my old computer?
Original title: I give you my computer to my friend. Should I reinstall the original version of the XP operating system, which has since been replaced by a newer version, before parting with this computer?
I have a laptop Dell Smartstep 250N, bought 1n 2002, with an operating system of Windows XP Home Edition.
I'm getting a new computer and want to give this Dell computer to a friend.
The original version of the XP operating system has been replaced by a newer version.
Before giving my computer away, I want to reinstall the operating system, so all files are left deleted/more difficult to find.
Should I remove the most recent version of Windows XP and install the original version? Or do I have to reinstall the most recent version to make the files more difficult to find and install the original version of contempt? If so, how do I do that?
Thank you for any assistance.
Hello
You can reinstall any version of the operating system that is supported by the computer, in your case, you can install Windows XP Home Edition or the latest version of the operating system that is based on your choice.
Note:
Perform a clean installation (the hard drive Format), while the reinstallation of the operating system.
Backup all important data on an external hard drive as a new installation of the operating system will be washing all the data.
For more information on reinstalling Windows, see the links below.

What should I know before installing XP x 64 on my MBP?
I want to create a VM Windows XP x 64 for testing my application on an x 64 OS. Given the processor of my MBP, is there anything I need to know or do before installing XP x 64? The virtual machine will 'really' run in 64-bit mode, or will it be some kind of emulation mode?
I use Fusion 2.0.2 (146107) with the following MBP hardware specifications:
Model name: MacBook Pro
Model identifier: MacBookPro3, 1
Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of processors: 1
Total number of cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM version: MBP31.0070.B02
SMC Version: 1.16f8
Since you have a Core 2 Duo, it should work (assuming of course that you mean "in a virtual machine," technically you do not install OSes on processors). It will really be in 64 - bit (technically, some instructions can be generalized, as with 32-bit virtual machines).

Should I uninstall Firefox 3.6.6 before upgrade to OSX 10.6?
I don't want absolutely no glitches when I improve my MacBookPro of OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6.3. I use Safari as my main browser and Firefox only when a Web site does not work well with Safari. Therefore, I thought it may be best to uninstall Firefox before I update, because I can always reinstall Firefox after I updated. What do you think? I AppZapper use to uninstall Firefox, as it will search for and collect all preferably, etc., lists that accompany the Firefox, resulting in a complete and clean uninstall. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Hello Gordon.
I don't know if you should uninstall Firefox before upgrading to Mac OS X (I don't think, anyway), but you may be interested to know how to back up your information, if you are afraid of losing it in the upgrade:

HP Photosmart Studio v. 9.7.4
After upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard I lost the ability to print without MARGINS - until that time, that I had no problem.
I use HP Photosmart Studio to print, but get the same error every time: "the selected printer supports the paperwork without borders. If you print, will serve the maximum printable area of the current paper size.
I downloaded the most current driver after that I improved and I was able to print in general - when I try to select borderless printing it tells me that this printer does not support. I was able to print without margins using Creative Suite Indesign and printing of this app--but have lost the functionality of the HP Photosmart Studio is really a drag - since I have to do all sorts of adjustments to do workaround printing.
Is it possible to upgrade Photosmart Studio? or re-start it? I'm lost and need help.
Thank you
If you always reminants of the HP software meant for 10.4, you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber". If you have already uninstalled, reinstall from the CD, then:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
Click on continue
Highlight your device in the left pane
Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall< scrubber="">
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click on continue and let it finishRestart your Mac
Now run a software update.
Finally, download and install the "Full Featured" driver and software from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.
