HT3607 How to update to Mac OS X server 10.5.8?

Please help!  Through software update, trying to update from 10.5.2 version to 10.5.8 version and its not working!!  Any tips

An Intel Mini (how far you can take it depends upon the details), or a PPC Mini (you're as far as it will go)?
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

  • HT3607 How do I upgrade Mac OS X Server to OS X Lion

    How do I upgrade to 10.6 or higher as the software I want to use needs 10.6 or higher.
    I currently have Mac OS X Server 10.5.8.

    You should be able to find it under "Featured".
    Here's a good guide for you but I'd wait for Mountain Lion, coming soon.

    Software Update under the Apple menu (upper left corner).
    If you are at 10.6.8 then the only way to update would be purchasing Mountain Lion via the App Store application.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Snow Leopard General requirements
      1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
      2. 1GB of memory
      3. 5GB of available disk space
      4. DVD drive for installation
      5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may
          apply.
      6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as stated above.
    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.
    Before upgrading check that you computer meets the minimum requirements:
    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.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
      2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
      3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
      4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
      5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
      6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
      7. Xserve (Early 2009)
    Are my applications compatible?
    See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.
    Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
    See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.
    For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A

    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

  • How to update from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Lion or all the way to Yosemite

    I have a MacBok Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8. How do I update to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion? Or if I go all the way to Yosemite, do I need to buy and download every Mac OS X between 10.6.8 and Yosemite? Are there any free (and legal) Mac OS X downloads between 10.6.8 and Yosemite?

    You don't need to do any of the intervening versions but can go straight to Yosemite in the App Store.
    This will of course prevent your Mac from executing any PowerPC code. So you should check to find out if you are using any apps coded for the PowerPC processor. If you have that it will need to be upgraded to a newer version coded for the Intel processor.

  • How to update from MAC OS X 10.5.8

    I need to install iTunes11 but only have MAC OS X 10.5.8 software. All my software updates are current, so so not know what I should download...
    Thoughts??

    You will need to get Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard which is not a free upgrade. Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available.
    Once you upgrade to 10.6, update to Mac OS X 10.6.8  and you can then install iTunes 11. You can from there also, if you wish and your computer supports it, purchase an upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Research carefully before you upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 to make sure you'll stil be able to use your applications and peripherals.
    Regards.

  • How does migrating/restoring Mac OS X Server compare to Mac OS X?

    I’m thinking of reinstalling the system software on our server (we have a bunch of problems we can’t get rid of) and I was wondering what the process is like.
    We have a Time Machine backup and I was wondering how similar the process is to reinstalling/migrating a client installation of Mac OS X?
    For instance does it give you the option to only restore files and data (such as Wiki content), or are you forced to restore all settings, users and preferences as well?
    I’d prefer to just restore files and data and then manually recreate users and settings, in the hope of ridding ourselves of some of the problems we have (such as iCal server constantly asking for passwords and an inability to add or remove users using Server Preferences).

    It's more a case of looking at the logs and not really knowing what I'm doing. Suffice to say I've taken the trouble-shooting road to my limit.
    Mainly we have issues with iCal Server which keeps asking users for their passwords:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5936657
    And now we have this error 14120, since 10.5.6, that causes us not to be able to add or remove users in Server Preferences:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8773646
    I assume by the advice I'm getting from both of you that the migration tool for Mac OS X Server doesn't include the ability to bring only data files over minus all the settings and users?
    I'm happy to do a clean wipe. I just want to be sure I can pull across calendars and Wiki data reasonably easily if I do it manually, as I'm not an IT pro. I'm only a CAD Manager and all my knowledge with these things is only through day-to-day experience.

  • VPN Settings Gone After Update to Mac OS X Server 10.5.4

    For the second time, a point upgrade of Mac OS X Server 10.5.x Leopard has resulted in all VPN settings being wiped out and the service being shut off. Has anyone else had this experience, and if so, does anyone know if there is a known cause (which might be avoided)?

    Please open terminal and post the output of postconf -n
    Also, it would be useful to see log extracts from /var/log/mail.log and /var/log/mailaccess.log showing rejected mails.

  • Need to update from MAC OS X server 10.4.11 to MAC mini server, any tips?

    Hello I am having issues to migrate from a Mac OS x server version 10.4.11, processor 2GHZ PowerpcG5, to a brand new mac mini server running mavericks.
    I been reading posts in the communities saying that I will need to get a snow leopard first(?) can I get MAC OS X snow leopard, or it needs to be MAC OS leopard server?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I do not know for certain, but what little experience I have with Server, my guess is that you'll have to get 10.6 Sever.
    It's not available online, but might still be had by calling Apple & asking for... Part Number: MC588Z/A
    Or, you might repost in one of these areas...

  • How do I install Mac OS X-Server on my Intel Base-Dell XPS? What's I need to have for this installation?

    I have Dell XPS with Quad core Intel CPU, 4 GB RAM and 500GB HDD + 500GB RAID. I really want to install Mac OS X Server on it but I can not find where to buy OS X Server and I'm not sure that it suitable to my XPS, I'm afraid that is not acceptable to install. Anyone have idea about this please give me some information,thank you.

    Hello Benz_KU,
    I am afraid you won't be able to install Mac OS X server on you Dell computer. There are technical reasons for that as well as legal reasons: according to the "Software License Agreement for Mac OS X Server":
    "This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Mac OS X Server software (the “Mac OS X Server Software”) on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time."
    Best regards

    How can I update it from 10.5.8
    Do I need to buy something or is there a direct download

    Assuming your mac is compatible, Snow Leopard (10.6) would be the next step. See the link below for requirements and ordering information.

  • HT4561 how can update my mac os 10.6.8?

    pease tell me how can i upgrade my macbook from mac os 10.6.8 to present

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. 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 before upgrading. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
