Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the 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.

  • How can I update mac 10.6.8 to Yosemite?

    I have never update my macbook mac os and now i have to download the new version of itunes and i cannot open it because i have to update mac os, but i dont know to update mac  os 10.6.8 to Yosemite

    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.

  • I want to update Mac OS X 10.5.8 to Lion.

    I want to update Mac OS X 10.5.8 to Lion.
    I ask to help and it is detailed, step by step to explain that it is necessary to do!
    Thanks.

    Instead of going to Lion which is no longer available I'd recommend going to Mountain Lion. Apple explains the minimum system requirements in:
    General Requirements
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory (4GB or more recommended)
    8GB of available space
    Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Supported
    Models
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    If your system can be upgraded, first backup using Time Machine or create a bootable clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Then call the online Apple Store and purchase a license of Snow Leopard (no longer availble unless you call Apple!!!!) then follow the instructions that come with the DVD to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Next upgrade to the most current release of SL which is 10.6.8 by clicking 10.6.8 Update Combo and following the on-screen instructions. After the update run Software Update to ensure all other apps are up-to-date and follow all the suggested recommendations! Next open the Mac App Store and purchase Mt. Lion and follow the on-screen instructions. VERY VERY simple  if you follow these instructions.

  • The update "Mac OS X update combined (powerpc)" can't be installed?

    I recently upgraded from OS X 10.3.9 to Tiger (10.4.6) and encountered a weird problem. My system is a Dual 1GHz G4 (mirror drive door) with 768 MB RAM.
    When I try to launch iTunes, I get an error telling me that "iTunes requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later..."
    That never happened before, so I assume that the Tiger installation (or a Software Update I was unaware of) sabotaged iTunes by imposing this new requirement.
    Now here's the irony: I can't install OS X 10.4.7! When I run Software Update, it tries to install Mac OS X Update Combined (PowerPC) 10.4.10-- but it fails every time with the message:
    The update "Mac OS X update combined (powerpc)" can't be installed.
    The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple."
    So this seems to be a transmission error, or something wrong with Apple's server. I've tried this repeatedly over the last few days, but nothing changes.
    Any suggestions? I tried downloading the installer from Apple's download page, but it results in the same error. Is there perhaps a clean version of 10.4.8 I can download from somewhere?
    It's really frustrating not being able to run iTunes because of an OS "upgrade."

    Then, stop using Software Update, click the Downloads link at the page's top, and manually download the COMBO update. As for iTunes, apparently you installed a later version. With 10.4.6, your quite a few updates behind: OS, security, iTunes, and QuickTime, just to name a few. Before you update, be sure you make a bootable backup/clone. Details for doing that are in these:

  • The update "Mac OS X Update Combined" can't be saved.

    A few days ago my mac ( late 2009 model MacBook pro running lion 10.7.2 ) started freezing, a lot. The freezing seemed to be a problem with osx itself rather than with any particular program. So I initiated software update hoping that there would be an osx update. Low and behold, there was.
    Here is the problem.... I can't get it. I have tried twice and both times I get this message
    "The update “Mac OS X Update Combined” can’t be saved.
    The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
    Any ideas?

    Ok this problem has developed somewhat.
    My machine has gone from bad freezing spells to being downright broken.
    I rebooted the machine and got stuck at login screen.
    Rebooted again and didn't get to login screen.
    Rebooted again and got logged in but my desktop was unresponsive and then started flashing between the desktop image and a plain grey screen. I did this literally all night (left it over night).
    So today I have booted up from an install of lion I have on an external FireWire drive. And all is well. I am trying to backup things like my photo library and other documents so that I can format the internal hard drive and and do a clean install.
    I can access the hard drive, see all the files, but when trying to copy it over I get an error message saying
    "the finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto library" can't be read or written ( error code -36 )
    Now before anyone screams broken hard drive, the data can be read, because I can view it all in finder. Just can't copy it out to an external drive.
    Please help!!
    Oh ps. Before booting from the external I created a new admin account on my machine and booted int that. The freezing problem was the same as in my normal account.

    Hi,
    I have been searching these forums for an answer.
    Today I had a pop up informing me that update are available.
    Mac OX X Update 10.5.7.286 MB
    The 10.5.7 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.

    The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”.

    Any suggestion why this is happening.
    I am on version 10.5.6 Build 9G55

    Yes I am getting this error and so I got 10.5.7 from Support Downloads but then there was a Safari Beta 4 update and it did the same thing. I'm a little worried after that because I have already had Software Update probs and had to get a brand new MacBook so keep the answers coming

  • Help installn the 10.5.8 Update Mac OS X Leopard from 10.5.7 (Power PC G5)

    I am concerned about installing the +10.5.8 Update Mac OS X Leopard+ from +10.5.7 (Power PC G5)+. It does not say anything about users who aren't on the intel chip systems so I'm worried if I really need to upgrade, any advice?
    This also comes to mind when doing any kind of *new update* when SOFTWARE UPDATE manually shoots down and informs me it's time to install some new software updates. I will eventually buy a Mac Book Pro and use my Power PC for home internet use but is there cause for concern to keep updating software because it assumes everyone is already upgraded to intel mac systems??? I hope this isn't a dumb question to people reading this, lol...

    I updated my G5 iMac the other day with no problems. I did however
    make a backup using CarbonCopyCloner before updating.
    I also updated my Intel MacBook with no problems (again taking a
    backup prior to the update).
    I also did a Repair permissions using Disk Utility before each update.
    Some people suggest using the Combo update but I have always used
    the delta update via Software Update and have not encountered any
    issues.
    YMMV

  • Publish Error: There was an error updating .Mac

    Hello,
    This is the first time I have had any problems with iWeb when trying to publish a site. After the site and pages are created, I keep getting the error:
    "Publish Error: There was an error updating .Mac".
    - I have iWeb 1.1.2
    - I am not over quota.
    - My account is not expired.
    - I've tried multiple times over a 1.5h period.
    - I've tried closing/restarting iWeb, rebooting my machine, and manually deleting all files in my .Mac/Web/iWeb folder in case any got corrupted somehow.
    - I've emailed tech support about this too.
    Hopefully this is just a server issue on Apple's side and is temporary. Anybody experience problems around today?
    Cheers.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Okay I am very relieved to hear that people out there are experiencing what seems to be the exact same issue (and that I don't have to suffer through Apple support). I as well, after experiecing this issue, was totally unable to login to my website (password kept getting rejected).
    As of right now - 12h after first experiencing this issue - I still cannot publish to iWeb.
    When trying what was suggested earlier, a lowercase login, I received a new and more interesting error message:
    Publish Error: An error occurred while publishing file “navbarseparator3.png.” Try choosing File > Publish All.
    I then tried to "Publish All" and viola - it worked! What is fascinating to me is that I have used the same login/password for a year now with no problems and how a single capital letter in a login can cause so much grief. Hmm. Anyways, thank you Mr. Apnewbie for your suggestion.
    I think .Mac is a superb service - however for the price, there are still some very fundamental kinks that it seems they didn't throughouly test out at Apple before charging people/releasing their software. Mainly, all the kinks related to multiple passwords with multiple web sites (and obviously logins!).
      Mac OS X (10.4.9)  
    I'm marking this as "solved" (though why we all mysteriously had the same odd experience at the same time is yet unresolved. The solution suggested above has worked for me. Please try and comment here if it works for you too. I hope it does.

  • How to update mac os x 10.5.8

    how to update mac os x 10.5.8

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 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.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
    You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (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:

  • Updated Mac Air to Mountain Lion and now I can not create new email in Hot Mail

    Updated Mac Air to Mountain Lion and now I can not create new email in Hot Mail

    Greetings,
         What you posted is rather vague. By doesn't work do you mean the applications don't open at all or are you getting a message stating that your product needs activation? If it's product activation then that is something that Microsoft will have to assist you with. If your problem is that the applications simply won't open you may have to uninstall and reinstall Office again. This is common on the Windows platform too. Rarely when you upgrade to a new OS Office sometimes has an issue with the upgrade and won't open correctly. I would suggest merely uninstalling and reinstalling. Nine times out of ten that helps.

  • Photoshop CS5 - colour settings in Print menu not working after update Mac OSX maverick

    After upgrading to Maverick OSX on the iMac printing from CS5 via Epson R3880 is not working correctly. In Print Settings menu the drop downs for Colour and Colour Settings are greyed out. I already re-installed PS and installed the new drivers from epson. Any ideas?

    but after choosing PS manages color, the options in the print menu for choosing color (color or b&W) and color settings are not available anymore. They used to be the last three years I printed with photoshop/epson 3880.
    Instead they are greyed out now.

    If Photoshop managed color, then the controls in the printer driver are supposed to be grayed out - that's how Apple specifies drivers to work (because only one party should be managing the print color).
    So what you're describing is perfectly normal.
