Protocol for Upgrading to System 10  (OS X)  

(Minimum Hardware Recommendation:  400 MHz and 128 MB of RAM)

1)    Backup your data to your network folder.

a.     Create a folder on your desktop name "Backup"

b.     Copy anything that you need to save to that folder.  You do NOT need to worry about programs, or system files.  ONLY things you have created, such as: documents, spreadsheets, pictures, and personal items.

c.     You do NOT have to worry about QuickMail Pro, the TRA will backup your e-mails for you.

d.     Connect to the staff server and drag your "Backup' folder into your personal space.  (If you are unsure how to connect to the server, contact your TRT for assistance.)

2)    By default you will have:  Office X (Word, PowerPoint), AppleWorks 6, and QuickMail Pro. An example of specialty software is: Macromedia Studio MX (DreamWeaver, etc.) if you wish.

3)    E-Mail your TRT, let them know you have backed up all of your data and you are ready to proceed with the upgrade.

4)    The TRT will pass the request on to the TRA, who will contact you.  The TRA will schedule a time that the process can be done.  On average the process will last for from 1 hour up to 2 hours, depending on the number of applications that need to be installed.

5)    Your system will then be completely wiped clean!  Just a reminder to really follow "Step 1."

6)    The most current version of OS X will be installed, along with all the requested applications.
