Need help with upgrading my OS from 10.5.8

Need help with upgrading my OS. I havent upgraded the OS since I bought it and have version 10.5.8. Now I cant download Mountain Lion- or even Snow Leopard. When i downloaded the first version of SL- 10.6.1 it says i have to have 10.6 first and I cant find that.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple withdrew Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
UPDATE:
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • Need help with upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite to PS CS4

    My old laptop with Photoshop on it crashed and I ended up purchasing a new laptop.
    I'm trying to reload my PS CS4.  I am using an upgrade from an educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium to the CS4 and when I loaded it on my old laptop I had to get installation help through customer service, but now customer service will not help me since it is CS4.
    When installing the upgrade, it tell me to select the product I already own.  I own the educational full creative suite, but am only upgrading the Photoshop.  I chose Photoshop CS and tried entering the serial number for the suite.  It tells me that the serial number doesn't match the product chosen.  Of course the only products I'm allowed to choose from is Photoshop CS, CS2, or CS3 and not Creative Suite Premium.
    The other serial numbers on this CS is Golive CO and Pagemaker Plug-in.
    I was told there are Adobe customer service reps here on the forum, please tell me what it was I need to do to get my Photoshop installed.
    Thanks

    i wasn't aware that you could get a ps4 at an upgrade price using an older creative suite produect.  i searched online and found this thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/476009) which makes it appear that was not a valid upgrade path.
    but, if you're confident that was a valid upgrade path, i'm pretty sure something will need to be done on adobe's end and no amount of manipulation, on your end only, will work.
    your best bet would be to get help in this forum from an adobe staff member like jeff wright who is very knowledgeable and goes out of his way to help adobe customers.  to that end, if i were you, i would start a new thread mentioning his name in your title and in your initial post explaining:
    you have the educational Adobe Creative Suite Premium and purchased a photoshop cs4 upgrade years ago that required adobe support help to install years ago. 
    that worked well until a recent computer problem forced you buy a new laptop and you are now trying to reinstall that ps cs4 and again need support help but have been refused help because cs4 is not current.

  • I need help with upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 Production Premium DISC version

    Hi,
    i bought the Production Premium CS5.5 in 2011. I then bought the CS6 Upgrade (the boxed version). After the security desaster at Adobe, the keys were invalidated. So when now years after purchase I wanted to use my product, Adobe said I had to download the file CS6 (6GB) from the Adobe server. I did that. After unzipping, the Installer says that a file is missing and I should use a tool which is now not on the Adobe site since it has been discontinued.
    It would be nice if anybody had an idea how to get this to work.
    Thank you in advance.
    A former premiere fanboy that is now really annoyed.

    Hi, thank you for the fast reply. I tried to put the downloaded file (7zip, CS6) und the small file (setup file 1MB) in a new folder with write priviledges. 150GB free space. It starts to unpack 3% then cancels due to insufficient space or a write priviledges error (none is true). I will try your link. Yes, I have both boxes here with the serial keys. CS 5.5 is installed on the PC so it should find it. The tool I mentioned is:  Adobe - Adobe Support Advisor

  • Need help with upgrade from WXP MCE to Vista Ultimate on Qosmio G30 - 175

    Hi all, I tried searching for the following issue to no avail so I would be most grateful if someone could help and point me in the right direction:
    Tried to upgrade the XP to Ultimate and it got to unpacking stage and BSOD "Session3_initialization_failed (xxx STOP: 0x0000006F (0xC000009D, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) appeared repeatedly. I tried again and the same happened.
    I have already updated the BIOS and stripped the conflicts out of the Toshiba suite of programmes and the update advisor gave the OK on several ocassions before attempting this exercise.
    Help.........Dave

    Forgot to mention too that I am currently running with 2 x 2GB Ram and no additional hardware or software has been added prior to attempting the upgrade. The medium I am using to upgrade is a recently purchased full retail version of 32 bit Vista Ultimate (which also includes a 64 bit version too in the box).
    I have been in touch with Microsoft Support in recent days and they told me that my hard drive appears to be defective being the reason for the failed upgrade. Infact last week together with Microsoft on the phone we did attempt a clean install but that just lead to me having to abort the clean install and rescue my laptop back to original XP MCE.....flipping heck!!!!!

  • Need help with upgrading my Pavilion's graphics... affordably

    Hi all,
    New member here :-).
    Ok...I am having trouble with a graphics card I just got. It's the EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit DVI/HDMI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card 02G-P3-3733-KR. It's a very good entry level card according to every one I've talked to. It was reasonably priced so I bought one. When I installed it all I get is an amber power light and beeping sound. So I contact EVGA to see if it's incompatible with my computer model. This is what they said: "We do apologize for any issues with your GT 730. Your hardware should be sufficient to run the graphics card; however, you will need to remove any ATI/AMD software or drivers prior to installing our NVIDIA based graphics card, as this can cause driver conflicts. Although this graphics card does not require a UEFI motherboard BIOS, you may want to check with HP to see if this system can run 700 series NVIDIA graphics cards." Sooo... based on that last part I underlined, can this computer run that model of card?
    Oh... another note: I guess the card could be defective too. I always seem to get the dud of the bunch if there is one. LOL. If that's the case I'll mail it back to Amazon.
    My official warranty support has run out so you're the only guys and gals that can help me with this. Any info or advice will be greatly appreciated. Or if you can recommend any other graphics card upgrades that would work, that would be awesome too. Thanks so much in advance!!!
    Just in case you didn't see it up top, the make and model is Pavilion P6-2120 H2M53AA#ABA.

    Hi,
    Please post the HP product number for your PC. How to Find the HP Model Number and the HP Product Number or let HP automatically find your PC model number and HP network attached printers. This will allow others to review your issue, make suggestions and review your responses. This is usually the best way to get assistance.
    The quote about removing AMD drivers from EVGA seems to be bogus.  I have multiple EGVA graphics cards and none of the printed directions ever mention removing AMD drivers.  I have run and removed AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards without having to remove the previous drivers.
    If your PC doesn't have a version 8 BIOS then the NVIDIA 7xx graphics cards may not work.

    A Second Welcome To Discussions mucl20!
    Now that you know why it doesn't work;
    Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
    If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, FastMac, etc.
    As previously advised, be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    The discs should look like the images in the above links.
    Once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.8 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Tiger System Requirements
    Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
    Download the Media Exchange Program Order From Here.
    Orders must be mailed by March 19, 2007.
    AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD

  • Need help with upgrading/downgrading info.

    Ok, this is a bit complicated for me, so bare with me as I try to get out the relevant info.
    My girlfriend currently has a LG Ally, due for an upgrade in less than a month.  I have a HTC Rezound I got fairly recently.  As far as data usage, we use very little; as in, usually less than 1gb a month, but are currently on a grandfathered unlimited data family share plan (forgot the phone minutes, but it's the smallest one with unlimited texts).  I have several other phones, including a Droid and a couple of "dumb" phones.
    We recently have been looking to get a tablet.  The thing is, if we have another "smart" device, I'm not seeing the need for having two smart phones.  In fact, a big deterrent for me using my Rezound to it's capacity is I simply like browsing the internet on a larger surface.
    So ultimately, to get the best bang for our buck, I'm wondering if it's possible to give my girlfriend my Rezound and I use a flip phone and a tablet with LTE capability.  Is is possible to upgrade her while downgrading myself?
    Also, there are other possibilities to consider.  I could upgrade her phone, keep my phone and use only wifi on the tablet that I purchase (which, to be honest, I'd rather not be dependent on the phone in that way.)  According to my calculations, it should be approximately the same with the Share Everything Plan.  We could simply switch our phones and buy a tablet separate.
    Ultimately, the end result should be my girlfriend gets an upgrade, I get a tablet, and I don't care what happens to my phone (whether upgrade, downgrade, or neither) as long as I have one.
    What are my possible options?  Things to note:  the Ally is a 3G phone, the Rezound is a 4G with a simcard.

    Ok I will try to cover everything I can...

    Do to the recent changes made this month if you change devices on the account that has the unlimited data plan YOU WILL LOOSE IT unless you buy another smartphone at full price or from another source.
    Also if you switch to a non-smartphone you will loose it also because they use a different data plan and when you activate it you will have to get a data plan supporting the non-smartpone device.
    We recently have been looking to get a tablet.  The thing is, if we have another "smart" device, I'm not seeing the need for having two smart phones.  In fact, a big deterrent for me using my Rezound to it's capacity is I simply like browsing the internet on a larger surface.
    The Tablets are not looked at as a smartphone so Verizon will require you to pay a termination fee to switch from a smartphone to a table but if you add a line this shouldn't effect the account.
    So ultimately, to get the best bang for our buck, I'm wondering if it's possible to give my girlfriend my Rezound and I use a flip phone and a tablet with LTE capability.  Is is possible to upgrade her while downgrading myself?
    Since you already have the Rezound you can transfer it to your girls account without issues but you still have understand you may loose unlimited data and if you go to a non-smartphone have to change data plan for that device.
    Also, there are other possibilities to consider.  I could upgrade her phone, keep my phone and use only wifi on the tablet that I purchase (which, to be honest, I'd rather not be dependent on the phone in that way.)  According to my calculations, it should be approximately the same with the Share Everything Plan.  We could simply switch our phones and buy a tablet separate.
    Tablets require a data plan on them so I do not think this will be workable..  You can use it on wifi to keep data use down but a data plan is usually included with the purchase on contract but I am not sure if you buy it at full price.
    Ultimately, the end result should be my girlfriend gets an upgrade, I get a tablet, and I don't care what happens to my phone (whether upgrade, downgrade, or neither) as long as I have one.
    Without know which account has the unlimited plan it is hard to be sure how to do the upgrade without changing your billing on your account.
    What are my possible options?  Things to note:  the Ally is a 3G phone, the Rezound is a 4G with a simcard.
    3G and 4G isn't much of a factor when it comes to billing anymore because of the new data plans put in place.
    With the info supplied I would say it may be wise to consider...
    Use your girls update to get the tablet... 
    Transfer Rezound to your girls account to allow her to have the device..
    Activate one of your older Android devices on your account to leave Unlimited Data intact (If your account is the Unlimited One)

  • My iPad was stolen - need help with getting my stuff from the icloud

    My iPad was stolen two days ago. I did the remote "lock this device" within ten minutes of it being stolen, but I cannot see any of my pics, etc in my iCloud.
    Any help or advice would be really appreciated

    Photos are not on icloud.com.  You could set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream to get back photo stream photos from the last 30 days (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/).  To access your camera roll photos and other data and settings, you will need to restore your backup to another iPad.  If your backup is in iCloud, be sure to do this before it is 180 days old or Apple will delete it.
    It sounds like you already put it in lost mode, but you may want to read through this anyway: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5668.

  • Need help with reading RSS feed from SSIS

    Hi all,
    I am trying to read RSS feed from SSIS by using the Script Component. So far I am able to read some information from the RSS feed from the following items included in the code, Title, PublishDate, LastUpdateTime, Id and Summary.
    There are still more item but I am unable to identify the proper data type for the following:
    //Output0Buffer.Description = item.Content;
    //Output0Buffer.Category = item.Categories;
    //Output0Buffer.Comments = item.Summary;
    //Output0Buffer.Source = item.SourceFeed;
    When I define the data for item.Content as Unicode String in the column properties for the Output column I get the following error message:
    Error 1 Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.ServiceModel.Syndication.SyndicationContent' to 'string'
    And the same error for the other three variables.
    I am using HTTP Connection manager to read the xml link.
    I tried to google around for some help but I could not find more information about the datatype.
    I appreciate any help if someone can point me to the right solution for reading RSS feed from SSIS.
    Code:
    /* Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services Script Component

    if (item.Authors.Count > 0)
    // take the first author
    authorName = item.Authors[0].Name;
    Output0Buffer.Author = authorName;
    Output0Buffer.SetEndOfRowset();
    private byte[] ConvertToBytes(TextSyndicationContent content)
    if (content != null && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(content.Text))
    // convert the string buffer to UTF8 so we can store it in an NTEXT column
    var encoding = new UTF8Encoding();
    return encoding.GetBytes(content.Text);
    return new byte[0];
    Thanks in return.

    You need to make it running outside SSIS 1st. I just do not see why you need to publish it here at the moment.
    And to solve it, doesn't C# has the
    VAR datatype so you do not have to guess.
