10.4.11 to lion software?

Can i download the new lion software if i still have the old 10.4.11?  I have a macbook pro from 2007 that has osx 10.4.11 wiht 2.2ghz intel core 2duo proc and 2gb of momory.  Also, will i loose anything during the update if its possible?  Anything else i need to do?
I just bought iphone 4s and my itunes will not recognize it unil i update and it will now update with 10.4.11

Yeah you first need 10.6 which is the DVD. Once you have that you can upgrade to 10.7.2 using the app store. By doing these upgrade you will not loose any data but it is always recommended that you back up first just in case something goes wrong. Your computer's specs fit the requirements for 10.7 so you should be good. 10.7.2 will also let you benifit more with icloud.

  • After replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?

    after replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?
    any suggestions on how to fix this ?

    what version of iPhoto are you using? i can't begin to answer that - it is no longer listed in my applications & has only a shadow of its icon in the dock
    what version did you have before the drive replacement? same answer
    what system version are you running? 10.8.5 - the one i was using when the hard drive died
    what exactly do you see when iPhoto attempts to launch? -it doesn't attempt to launch - i get a message saying "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have  OS X 10.8.5. The application requires OS X 10.9 or later".
    what have you tried? wringing my hands ! i daren't try anything after the hard drive crash
    where is your library located? there is an iPhoto library folder on my desktop with random photos & albums - not all - put there by me - i vaguely remember a problem with iPhoto when i upgraded from snow leopard
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? after the drive replacement i uploaded saved data from a week old back up and found iphoto looking somewhat sick - no updates were offered in software updates
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? i'm afraid i do not know what that means
    what type of Mac? a macbook pro
    how much free space on your boot drive? about 380 GB
    thank you very much for your questions - i hope i find some answers

  • HT3669 I only have a HP printer and why I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers 590MB??? if normally the size of my file should be 5MB.  some one could me help to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???

    Hi guys..!!
    I would like to know if someone could help on this:
    I just have a HP printer (HP Designjet 100) and for some reason I need to install a file for all the HP printers drivers in total 590MB to be able to use my printer in my mountain lion???
    If normally the size of my files in the for previous software was more or less 5MB why now i need to install 590?
    Some one could help me how to avoid installation of 590MB for my new mountain lion software???
    Thanks

    If you go to http://support.apple.com/downloads and locate the HP Printer Drivers installer, you will find that it is 473.4 MB (for version 2.11). If you install this, it will install the full set of drivers for every model of HP printer that is supported by the drivers distributed through Apple. The disk space occupied once installed will probably be larger than the download, since the downloaded file is compressed.
    On the other hand, if you have an HP printer connected and you use Software Update (or the Update tab in App Store), that should offer you a much smaller set of HP drivers, which are only applicable to your printer (and possibly a few similar ones). These updates are typically only tens of megabytes rather than hundreds of megabytes.
    If Software Update doesn't offer you any HP drivers then it either thinks you have the latest drivers installed already, or the printer model is not supported by the drivers available from Apple.
    This article lists all of the printer models for which Apple distributes the driver:

  • Have OS X 10.6.3 and am unable to install App Store to install Lion or Mountain Lion Software to update to Maverick....HELP!!!!

    I recently purchased the Lion and Mountain Lion software to upgrade my MacBook Pro enough to be able to install Maverick (I realized now I only need Lion but oh well).  I'm currently running on OS X 10.6.3.  I have codes to install Lion using the App Store, however  don't have the App Store installed.  I cannot install it, as it says I must be running a version of OS X 10.6.6 or higher in order to install the App Store......Am I just completely screwed here???  Does anyone know another way to install this software without the App Store?!  Thank you!!!!

    1. You don’t need Lion either.
    2. Run the Software Update pane of System Preferences or install the 10.6.8 combo updater manually.

  • How do i save a photo from iPhoto onto flash drive using new lion software

    Trying to save a photo in iphoto (using new lion software on my mac) to a flash drive.  There is no save button and can no longer just drag the photo into the drive.  Any ideas.

    You can select the thumbnail and type Command+C to copy it.  Then click on the Desktop and type Command+V to paste it.  That will get you the latest version of the photo in iPhoto.
    However, you should be able to drag the photo to the desktop.  Launch iPhoto with the Option and Command keys held down and rebuilt the library with the first and last options selected.
    Click to view full size
    If that doesn't do the trick use Disk Utility to repair disk permissions.

  • HT1338 help with installing Mountain Lion software...!

    i am trying to update my mac book pro with the mountain lion software. i have purchased this in my mac app store but do not see where to go from here to install... anyone know what to do? do i not have enough space to install the update? how do i tell?

    What year is your MacBook Pro? Need to make sure you have the hardware spec for Mt. Lion. You should also consider 8GB of memory for reasonable performance.
    Find how much storage: Apple Menu > About this Mac > More Info... > Storage
    If you are within 80% of filling your current drive, you may have enough to install Mt. Lion, but the subsequent installation will not perform well due to storage saturation.
    Before you update to Mountain Lion, you should do one last software update on Lion, then run Disk Utility and verify/repair permissions. Then back-up your home directory for safety, even though a Mt. Lion upgrade will not disturb your home directory.
    If Mountain Lion actually did download, the installer is placed in your /Application folder as, Install OS X Mountain Lion. If you want a bootable USB Mountain Lion installer, now is the time to make it with Lion Diskmaker and a empty 8GB USB stick. After you run the Mountain Lion installer, it will de-install itself. Like Lion, you still have a bootable Recovery partition.

  • My thunderbolt screen flashes when hooked up to macbook pro after downloading new lion software

    does anyones monitor flash when using new lion software and thunderbolt monitor

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode with the MacBook as the main screen. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen.
    The TV will now have the Dock and Menu Bar and windows will open on it. But you can move the cursor to the MacBook screen and move windows from the TV over to the MacBook screen.
    You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box. That will give you the same screen at the same resolution on both the MacBook and the external monitor.
