Is it possible to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5 in order to run iCloud?

I have a iMac desktop and MacBook with 10.4.11.  My wife's iphone 4 and ipad are good for icloud.  But the Mac OS requirement is 10.5?  Is this salvageable or do we need to consider a new computer?

Lion is not available on a DVD. It's a download from the Mac App store and requires 10.6.8 to be installed.
Snow Leopard is $30 from the online Apple Store, Lion is $29 to download from the App Store.
It may be possible to install directly from the Lion thumb drive ($69 from the online store) after partitioning and erasing the boot drive, but I'll leave that to someone who's done it.
Certainly the MB will have to meet the minimum specs;
Note that the minimum processor spec is Core 2 Duo.
Core Duo won't support Lion.

  • Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?

    Is it still possible to upgrade from CS4 to CS6 after the upgrade offer ended in 2012?  I have not found the option to do so.

    My family owns and operates a non-franchise entertainment facility (miniature golf, laser tag, arcade, pizza, parties...).  I have a design background, so among the many things I do here I'm also able to create marketing materials and an online presence in-house which would be too expensive for us to outsource.  Over a five year period, that's given us a software cost of right at $1 per day since our CS3 license ran around $1800.  Our customers are the public, and the package we try to push for walk-in traffic costs $50 for four people.  In exchange, they get unlimited mini golf, a game of laser tag, and a large pizza.  Not a bad deal.  If we were to earn $1800 from that group of four every five years, assuming they spent $50 each visit, that'd bring them here close to two times every three months.  For our type of business in a city of 118,000 tight-fisted Germans, that's about right.
    What, are you trying make me feel GUILTY about being upset that Adobe's new strategy negatively affects my livelihood?
    As far as Adobe's policy change announcement goes, I have no idea how it was announced.  I DO know I was not sent an email notification, though they have my email address and record that I'm a CS3 owner.  Presumably it was announced somewhere on Adobe's website, and further disseminated through various digital and print trade publications.  I respect Adobe's right to not reverse its decision.  If our business decided to put a sign on the front doors (since we don't have contact info for all of our past customers) saying we'd closed that night at 5 PM instead of 11 PM as usual, we aren't obligated to let in latecomers.  But I'd also recognize their right to be mad at us for wasting their travel time.  What I WOULDN'T do is tell them it's THEIR fault for not being proactive and calling ahead to confirm the expectation that our hours are still the same as they've been for the last decade.  NOR would I be surprised if we didn't get their $50 that month.  These Germans tend to hold grudges.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm to ssd on the new 13" 2012 macbook pro?

    is it possible to upgrade from 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm to ssd on the new 13" 2012 macbook pro?

    New non-retina 15" MBP, I just replaced the 500 gb HD with a Samsung 830 256 gb SSD from Amazon, $255 for the kit (includes a USB cable).  Wow.  What a difference.  Yes, there was a learning curve for some of it, but was so worth it.  Let me know if I can help.  I'm using the 500 gb in 2 partitions - one for a clone of the SSD, and one for Time Machine.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

    Is it possible to upgrade from CS6 Extended version 13.0 x64 to the latest version?

    There are three current version of CS6  perpetual  versions Mac version 13.0.6 and Windows Version version 13.0.1.3 and there is a creative cloud  sibscruption version 13.1.2.
    If you running Windows on a 64Bit system and install Perpetual CS6 it would have installed at version 13.0.0 and the be updated to version 13.0.1.3.  Both a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version of Photoshop would have been installed on your windows system.   The 32 bit version will be in your windows  "Program Files (x86)" tree anf the 64 bit version in the "Program Files" tree there should be two startup icon in the start button for starting CS6.
    There would also be a 32 bit and 64 bit windows subscription version installed on windows.  
    Mac CS6 is 64bit only. 

  • I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo.  Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit.  Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

    I have an IAMc 4.1 with intel core duo.  Upgraded from tiger to snow leopard but cannot get safari to run in 64 bit.  Is this because my older IMac won't support 64 bit?

    Hi,
    the Intel Core Duo processor is a 32-bit only processor and not capable of 64-bit.
    Only the Core 2 Duo and later processors are capable of 64-bit.
    Sorry

  • Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

    I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive.  Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

    This question was solved.

    Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
    Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
    Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

  • ¿Is it possible to upgrade from SCCM 2012 a domain controller in Windows Server 2008 R2 TO 2012 R2?

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.
    Regards.

    Hi all.

    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Anything is possible if you can script it. You could create a task sequence to do the following (with scripts):
    1. Demote 2008R2 DC to member server
    2. Remove 2008R2 member server from domain
    3. Build new 2012R2 member server and join to domain
    4. Promote 2012R2 member server to DC
    You can do this. However, why would you? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In my opinion it's more trouble and testing than it's worth. How many times would you need to do this?

  • Will it be possible to upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to PS CS6 only?

    Hi!
    I do own CS4/5 Design Premium and would like to know if it would be possible to get PS CS6 as upgrade from my versions. Or can I only upgrade to Suites?
    Thanks,
    Sven

    You cannot buy an upgrade from a suite version to get just Photoshop CS6.
    You might consider, however, buying a subscription to Photoshop 6 or the CS6 and the Creative Cloud (separately).
    It will be easier to view your options after the official announcement of CS6 which is to happen on Monday, April 23.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from Tiger (10.4) to Leopard (10.5)? Thanks

    Wondering if I can upgrade from TIger to Leopard (and then to Lion) on my old Macbook. Don't really want to buy a new notebook when this one works fine. But would like to use some of the features available through Lion (notably iCloud). Thanks.

    Hello Judy,
    You'd want to skip Leopard/10.5.x totally as it's not needed & expensive since Apple no longer sells it & it was $129.
    You can get Snow Leopard/10.6 for $29, then once updated to 10.6.6 or greater buy Lion/10.7 from the App Store, as long as your MacBook meets the requiremenys...
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory[14]
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading[14]
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from Student version Lightroom 3 to a private Lightroom 5?

    I'm trying to find out if I can upgrade from my student version of Lightroom 3 to a private version of Lightroom 5, or do I have to buy the whole version of Lightroom 5? I would like to be sure about which to buy before I make a purchase and obviously make a saving if I can just purchase the upgrade.

    You can simply buy the upgrade, no need to buy the complete version.

  • It´s possible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version?

    Hi all. I´m thinking in becoming a developper because  I want to install mavericks beta on my macbook pro (I can´t wait for the battery and ram upgrades). But i have a question before that. It´s posible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version? , or Ihave to restore to mavericks final version and then use a time machine Backup?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sorry for english

    No one who knows can say, because Mavericks is not released yet.
    To get a Free copy that can be updated, you need to have a paid developer membership, at a minimum cost of at least US$100/ annually. (This may also include one Developer Tech Support incident and other benefits.)
    Apple has lowered the cost of new versions of Mac OS X to about US$20. If Mavericks is released at about that price, buying a legitimate copy instead of depending on a quirky developer version that cannot be updated should not be a difficult decision.

  • Is it still possible to upgrade from cs5 web premium to cs5.5 ?? If so, where and how?

    I can't find any reference regarding upgrading from cs5 to cs5.5
    My reason is so i can install the DMXzone Bootstrap extension which requires Dreamweaver cs5.5 (11.5)
    Can anyone help please?
    Many Thanks

    CS5.5 is no longer sold by Adobe so you can no longer upgrade to it.  You can upgrade to CS6 since that is still being sold.
