I guess I do the same with the acapella voices and reenter the licence info? What about my 2 pitiful Itunes purchases?

After all if your going to go through all the trouble, you might as well start with a truly fresh system. Otherwise, you will be copying things by hand and you may not get everything necessary. If nothing else, you will have learned from the experience and that itself is worth the effort. Good luck, On Nov 12, 2011, at 5:32 PM, Missy Hoppe wrote: > Good evening, all.

More than anything else, I'm concerned > about the Acapella voices I purchased to use with my mac, but wouldn't mind tips about adium, skype and things of that nature. Also, how do I back up my Itunes purchases. Granted, I've only made two of them, but I don't want to lose them. What about Growl and Yorufukuru?

So, if anyone has any instructions to share, I would be extremely greatful. Also, once I use my CD, will lion be able to update itself to 7.2? > OK. Sorry for the rambling, disjointed message.
