how do i update my mac software and how do I know which operating system I am on

1. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu to check the installed version.
2. Incremental updates are available in the Software Update pane of System Preferences or the Mac App Store's Updates tab. The source for full version upgrades varies; 10.6 through 10.8 are in the online Apple Store, and 10.9 is in the Mac App Store.

  • How can I update my imac g5 and I want to know how I can update it in 2014

    I need to update my imac g5 but it's old so I need to know how to update it this year of 2014

    The general assumption is that Apple no longer has OS 10.5 install disks. However, some people in the US have been able to get a copy by phoning the US Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE and asking for an operating system specialist, than asking for OS 10.5 install disks. Not a "sure thing" and the last ASC report of someone doing this that I've see was about 16 month ago. Still, it costs nothing to hear the word, "no," but you might get lucky.
    Otherwise you are thrown into a miasma of confusing third-party offerings. Legitimate copies of old Mac OS software, especially 10.4 and 10.5 are in high demand and, as such, attract the scammers and the scalpers. I have seen legit copies of 10.5 offered for more than the market value of a used G5 iMac. Not worth it.
    Try auction sites or Amazom but remember there are NO SAFE, LEGAL downloads of any Mac OS software. Some people will sell you a download license that doesn't exist. Another resource is a Mac Users group. Find one in your ara with this link:

    Gray disks from another Mac model will likely not work, and a gray disk that shipped with an intel Mac definitely won't. A full retail install Leopard 10.5 disk looks like this:

  • I have updated my mac software and have all my icloud apps turned on but changes I make to my calendar on my phone do not show up on my mac, nor do any pictures I take. How do I fix this?

    ..

    Hmm on the Mac, go to the apple >> system preferences >> iCloud.  Verify you are signed in.  Make sure calendars are checked off.  Click on account details and verify you are signed in with the right apple id.
    Open calendars and verify you have an iCloud entry in the sidebar (click calendars in the upper left to open the sidebar if you're on mt lion).
    Create a test entry in a calendar located under under iCloud.
    Log into iCloud.com.  You see the test?

  • TS1394 How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6 and higher

    How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6

    I did not know OS upgrade had to be purchased since I have been updating for free up to this point.
    Everything within a major point release for OS X is free. So moving from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8 for example would be free. 10.5.x to 10.6.x would not.
    Apple does continue to confuse folks by giving major paid releases the same OS X name and just increasing the point number. Usually in the world of software, a point release is a larger, free update to fix programming issues. You would normally have expected paid releases to be OS X (10), OS XI (11), etc. Apple did this instead, each paid major release called OS X:
    10.2 - Jaguar
    10.3 - Panther
    10.4 - Tiger
    10.5 - Leopard
    10.6 - Snow Leopard
    10.7 - Lion
    10.8 - Mountain Lion

  • How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

    How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

    The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac.  You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
    Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod?  If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either  2G or 3G. To identify yours:

    If you have a PowerPC iMac, you don't.

    OS X Lion system requirements
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended); you can install without Mac OS X v10.6 by using an OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive, available on the Apple Online Store
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    If your Mac does not meet these requirements, you will need to  upgrade your Mac before installing Lion.
    2)
    The Mac APP Store.

    Check your machine's actual specifications here.
    It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
    OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here.  Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition.  This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it.

    Photobooth and iPhoto are two quite different apps with no connection between them. I'd try the Using Mac OS X forum for whatever version of the OS you have.
