    First, you'll have to determine if your iMac can run Mountain Lion at all. See:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    If it can - and it would have to be a mid-2007 model; no earlier iMac can run Mountain Lion - then you'll have to get the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. From there, assuming your system meets the rest of the system requirements, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store.
    Regards.

  • I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Hello,
    I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?  I need to be able to download some graphics apps from the Mac store and I do not have that capability with 10.5.8.
    I am American but live in Italy so have missed an update or two.  When I went to the Mac store in the States this summer they told me if I could work well with this outdated version, to leave as is as I had missed two updates. Now I need to I need to be able to download some graphics apps from the Mac store and I do not have that capability with 10.5.8.  I need at least 6.6.0 it says.
    Thank you,
    Deborah

    Make sure your machine supports Snow Leopard requirements. The same with Mountain Lion if you want to move even further up the animal kingdom.

  • I am running leopard, can i upgrade to mountain lion?

    I am running leopard, can I upgrade to mountain lion?

    Going by your profile: iMac (20-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.8)  your Mac does qualify for Mountain Lion. See Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    But you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before upgrading to Mountain Lion. It's not necessary to upgrade to Lion first.
    Snow Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store. You can purchase Snow Leopard by calling the Apple Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE.

  • Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard on 6-year old iMac?

    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac which I bought in January 2007.  It has 1GB memory and 2.16 GHz processing speed.  Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion - or perhaps more importantly, should I?  Given the age of my iMac, would Mountain Lion be too much in terms of processing speed, etc?

    Probably not to Mountain Lion but to Lion, yes. However, you will need to increase memory to 2 or 3 GBs depending on what your specific model supports.
    But if you wish to run Mountain Lion you need a newer model.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from 10.6 on a 24" 2009 Imac?

    Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from 10.6 on a 24" 2009 Imac? The instructions say my computer is capable. Do I have to go through Lion or Snow Leopard first?

    nope you can go right from SL to ML.
    Message was edited by: shldr2thewheel--oh wait, you can't go from 10.5.8 right to 10.8 since you need access to the app store.  I thought you already had 10.6 installed.

  • Can´t upgrade to mountain Lion because says that my HD is only for Time Machine use

    Can´t upgrade to mountain Lion because says that my HD is only for Time Machine use, what can I do?

    The installer is probably finding a file called backups.backupdb
    That is where Time Machine stores it backups so it figures it can't install there
    The Time Machine backup should never be done to the system drive but another drive instead

  • I have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    i have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    It's not a bug. Although Logic 8 will run under 10.7.x and 10.8.x the installer contains PPC code which simply does not run in 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9. The app is fine, the installer is the issue.
    Some research on this issue has led me to the conclusion that the commonly held conception that the installer has PPC code is flatly incorrect.
    That misconception is due to the fact that the PowerPC dialog box is triggered by any attempt to launch the installer app.
    The "bug" I reference triggers this dialog box; not PPC code within the Logic Pro 8 app. 
    At the end of the day, the result is the same: the installer app will NOT work in Mt. Lion without modification.  I have been given a tip on how to make a modification that will allow an analogous program's installer app work in Mt. Lion, but since I do not have access to a copy of Logic Pro 8, I cannot test this theory.
    So, yes, the best approach is to be sure it is fully installed before the upgrade!

  • Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion? I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard but is not compatible with Mountain Lion.

    The requirements for Lion are
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    If your Mac complies with that you can buy it by ringing the Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page.
    If it doesn' and you are stuck with 10.6.8 this page explains the situation with Snow Leopard and an existing iCloud account (you can't open one on Snow Leopard):

  • I have a late 2009 iMac with 2.66 Ghz process, or 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    have a late 2009 iMac with 2.66 Ghz process, or 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    You can upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I recommend you to upgrade to OS X Mavericks because it is the most recent version and it is free.
    Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks for free. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you still want to use Mountain Lion, you can purchase it at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
