Ben ,'The Killer In Me'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I just got off of a nine hour shift of answering the phones at a computer security software company where half of the calls were about Internet Explorer not working because of an update Microsoft received last night that was messing with add ons like Yahoo's tool bar (?).
Has anyone encountered this problem today?
Situation: I have a first gen iPhone that is sync'd to a first gen Intel iMac. I want to upgrade to the new iPhone. But to do so, I would need to upgrade the OS on the old iMac. I'd rather not sink the money into upgrading the mac, as it's old. But I do have a Win 7 laptop.
Question: Can I take the old iPhone, sync it to the Win7 laptop, so I can then sync new (when I get it) phone to laptop instead of Mac?
I don't want to lose any data. The contacts and calendar are not on the Win7 machine. What? Me paranoid?
The Snow Leopard upgrade is only $29. I'd go that route and save yourself a lot of headaches and potential data loss.
Leopard to Snow Leopard is $29. What if you have 10.4.11 Tiger?
The "upgrade" still works. You can use it to install onto a totally blank hard drive.
rock on. Thanks ND.
Has anyone encountered this problem today?
Yes! Me! Except I guess I just got it last night. What is the solution?
Yeah, omnis, I tried to tell you Upthread--I did the $29 10.4 to 10.6 and it worked fine. You don't get the latest iPhoto and stuff, but otherwise no worries.
So, there's a rumor going around that Yahoo may be getting rid of Delicious. [link] Anyone know of good alternatives?
What? Ack!
