How do I upgrade os 10.2 to os 10.6

Hi. I have a Mac Power PC G4 tower, running with 500Mhz. I am trying to upgrade OS 10.2 to OS 10.6. Instead of buying my young boys a new computer, I thought I could update this one, instead of them using my up to date laptops.(I am a graphic designer) I have OS 10.5.6 and OS 10.6 disks, but am unable to jump from 10.2 to 10.5.6. Do I need to install 10.3, then 10.4, to get to 10.5.6? 
Currently 10.2 is outdated to view their homework sites, that use Flash.
Any info most appreciated, thanks

the easiest answer is to get a more modern computer. power pc's won't run 10.6. and flash no longer supports power pc's.  you MAY try to upgrade to 10.4 and use a hack to trick your computer to use flash. but people have had mixed results with this hack. a 17" intel imac that is capable of running 10.6 can be had for around $200 on e-bay these days. be sure and get one that someone has already maxed the memory on.

    How do i upgrade my ipod touch 2nd generation as it wont let me download apps ?

    The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • I have 2 iphones using the same apple ID, how do I upgrade without both phones syncing the same data?

    Hi, as it says above, my wife and I have an iphone each with different content on each. How do I upgrade the IOS on my wife's phone without syncing all the content on my phone?
    Do I need a separate apple ID for my phone? If so, how do I set this up without losing all the data and content?

    I am having the same issue.
    There is no possible way Apple didn't think this the whole way thru!
    Why in the world would I want to create an new Apple ID for everyone in my family & over complicate things?!?  "Face Time" and "Messages" can tie several devices to on Apple ID driven by contact email or phone number.  I am hard pressed to believe that Find my Friends can't be set up in a similar format.
    Please help because this is frustrating me to the point of smashing an iPhone or 2!!

    how do I upgrade my Macbook pro to OS 10.7

    You need to buy 10.7 Lion.. it costs you 29.99 . But, 10.8 Mountain Lion is releasing in this month. It costs you 19.99.
    Apple has noted that users can upgrade to 10.8 directly from 10.6.x. So, I would suggest you to wait till 10.8 is released and buy it for 19.99 and do and upgrade

  • How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8?

    How do I upgrade from ITunes 10.6.3 to ITunes 10.6.8? Unable to find a download? I need to get to the point of ITunes 10.6.8 so I can then upgrade to ITunes 10.7 so that i can sync with my iphone 5.
    Am i on the right path or do i need to upgrade my software which is OS X version 10.5.8?
    Any help is appeciated.

    All these programs levels are a little confusing ..... you currently are on OS X 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to OS X 10.6.8, so you can download iTunes 7.
    You'll need to call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE, and buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, from the legacy products list. You'll use the DVD they send to install the new operating system, then run Software Update several times until there are no more updates. At that point, you'll be at 10.6.8 and can download iTunes 7.
    PS. Be sure and have a system backup before upgrading your operating system.

  • How can I upgrade my iBook G4?

    I have an old iBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.2.8 ... what do I need to download to bring it the most current I can? And how can I upgrade to the latest OS version (whatever it is)?
    I would prefer to download as many of the free updates as I can, before I begin buying a bunch of upgrade packs. I tried to do system updates in the system preferences, but it keeps closing on me saying the program "unexpectedly quit". So I can't seem to upgrade anything that way.
    Also, I do NOT have the original system disk, but I do have the admin password.
    What do I need to do to bring this laptop current - or at least as current as this machine can be?

    Hi rsottney!
    "So do I need to get 10.3 upgrade before I get 10.4, or can I just go straight from .2 to .4?"
    Not if your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements.
    "I tried to do system updates in the system preferences, but it keeps closing on me saying the program "unexpectedly quit"."
    You must resolve this issue before upgrading to a newer version of OS X.
    Upgrading a problematic system, will only compound the situation.
    "...I do NOT have the original system disk,..."
    Without those discs, correcting the problem could be difficult.
    But you could try running FSCK, as instructed in this KB Article ...perform disk maintenance with ... fsck.
    Also navigate to HD Users > The Admin Account > Library > Preferences:
    In there, locate the file com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist, and move it to the Trash.
    Run Repair Permissions.
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP, until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.2.x, authored by Michael Conniff.
    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
    If you purchase a set of install discs, for a newer version of OS X, you could also perform an Erase & Install of the new system.
    But if you do not have a backup, you will lose all data.
    Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
    Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
    The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.

    Panther On eBay
    Tiger On eBay
    Also check to see if your Mac model, is listed in this KB Article OS X Must Be Installed On First -8GB Partition.
    Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
    If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Review these Apple documents for Panther System Requirements,
    and Additional Panther System Requirements.
    Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

  • How can I upgrade my Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro. Here are the specs :
    Mac OS X 10.5.8
    MacPro1,1
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
    When OS 10.6 came out, I found out that I couldn't upgrade to it because of my graphic card. In the technical specifications it is mentioned that :
    OpenCL
    requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600
    ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870
    Now, OS 10.5.8 is becoming more and more outdated. I would like to know how can I upgrade my Mac Pro ? What kind of graphic card can I put in ?
    Thank you for any help and/or information !

    It's been a while since I've used it but I installed Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro 1,1 with the 7300GT and it worked. OpenCL may not have but the rest of it did. I don't think what you've quoted says you can't upgrade but only that an upgrade won't deliver all of the features in Snow Leopard. Indeed, I was able to move the HD in the 1,1 Mac Pro into the 5,1 Mac Pro, boot from it (10.6.4 is the minimum the 2010 Mac Pro will boot with), clone it and then updated it.

  • How do I upgrade my Core2Duo Mini OSX10.4.11 to the latest version of Snow Leopard?

    How do I upgrade my Core2Duo Mini OSX10.4.11 to the latest version of Snow Leopard?
    I am aware I should upgrade from 1GB to 2GB of RAM.  Can I just purchase the Snow Leopard DVD and install from that?  Will I be able to run my Microsoft Office 2004 suite?  Is it worth doing?  I can't run any decent browsers with this old dinosaur.....but I'd rather not cough up $600 clams for a new one....
    I have 7GB available on my hard drive.
    Thanks in advance for help with this.

    You may also want to upgrade the HD or at least move large libraries onto external disks (since a macmini generally does not move like a laptop an external disk is just another desktop item).  7 GB free will be chewed into hard by SL and you should always have 15-20 GB free to allow OSX room to perform normal operations.

  • How can I upgrade to Firefox 3.6.6 if I cannot open the browser of my current 3.5.10 version?

    I can't open my Firexox browser and as I understand, upgrading to a new ff version will fix this problem and keep my settings and bookmarks as well. But how do I upgrade if I can't open my browser?
    Alternately I could create a new profile of my current FF version and transfer my settings, but I have to close my current FF session which I can't do without accessing my browser which in turn won't open.
    Either way I'm in a catch-22. Is there a solution for either issue?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; GTB6.5; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

    First, try to determine the reason that Firefox 3.5.10 is hanging or not starting. Since you did not specify, you will need to read some of the following to determine hanging or starting; hanging usually gives you an error message when you try to start Firefox. See below. If you install Firefox 3.6.6 over the top of 3.5.10 and the cause of the hanging or not starting is one or more extensions or plugins or some other cause, Firefox 3.6.6 may experience the same problem.
    <u>'''Kill Application'''</u>
    In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the <u>'''Processes'''</u> tab?

    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit Firefox hangs at exit]
    [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes <u>'''before'''</u> starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling <u>'''one at a time'''</u> until the problem reappears. <u>'''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change'''</u> via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
