i have been following the steps using the video tutorial supplied on here, i am currently on #6 and just imported my SQL but i get this error message

"1253 - COLLATION 'latin1_general_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET 'utf8'"

any help in solving this would be great thanks

Please refer back to the part of the tutorial #4 where I do a replace of latin1 with utf8.

It's explained in this tutorial at 1:15: http://www.cotonti.com/docs/en/upgradevideos/notepad_encoding_utf8_bom

Also search for other occurances of latin1. Are there any left?

i did do that, the part the error is re-framing to is this "COLLATE=latin1_general_ci AUTO_INCREMENT=569 ;" do i need to change ALL the latin1 even these parts ?

Yes, just replace it with utf8_general_ci
