Upgrading your Timbuktu Pro Installation to
Timbuktu Pro version 8
If you have previously installed Timbuktu Pro version 6 or version 7, or a pre-re-
lease of Timbuktu Pro version 8, you may upgrade to Timbuktu Pro version 8 using
the following procedure. If you have Timbuktu Pro 5.x or earlier installed, Netopia
recommends that you uninstall it completely before installing Timbuktu Pro ver-
sion 8.
Timbuktu Pro version 8 includes an “auto-update” feature that eliminates the
need for a restart when you upgrade from Timbuktu Pro version 6 or version 7.
To upgrade to Timbuktu Pro version 8
You must be logged in as an administrator to upgrade Timbuktu Pro on Mac OS X.
1.
If you have modified your existing Timbuktu Scripts and Timbuktu Startup
Items folders, or any address book files in the Timbuktu Pro folder, and wish
to save them, drag them to your desktop.
2.
If the Timbuktu Pro application is open, quit the Timbuktu Pro application by
choosing Quit from the Timbuktu menu. (The Timbuktu Host will still be run-
ning, but the application itself is shut down.)
3.
Drag the Timbuktu Pro folder from the Mac OS X Applications folder to the
Trash. Do not empty the trash.
4.
If you downloaded Timbuktu Pro from the Web, double-click the Timbuktu
Pro.dmg file to mount the disk image. Drag the Timbuktu Pro folder to your
Mac OS X Applications folder.
If you received a Timbuktu Pro CD, open it and drag the Timbuktu Pro folder to
your Mac OS X Applications folder.
If you dragged any existing folders to the desktop in Step 1, drag them to the
new Timbuktu Pro folder to restore them.
5.
Open the new Timbuktu Pro folder and launch the Timbuktu Pro application.
Timbuktu will alert you that it has detected another version of Timbuktu Pro
running and will ask your permission to install the new version. Click Install.
6.
When requested, enter your Mac OS X user name and password.
Note: If you are using a Timbuktu Pro connection to upgrade a remote Tim-
buktu Pro computer, your connection will be terminated at this time. Wait a
