    how to update my mac book pro from 10.5.8 to the leatest version

    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.

    search MF4150
    click >Drivers & Software
    Verify or choose Yosemite 10.10 - then click the [+]
    Again verify Yosemite > click agree > click [DOWNLOAD]

  • HT4623 how do i update my mac book with the latest version of itunes?

    Hi all, can anyone help me with updating my Mac Book with the latest itunes. I'm a bit old school and usually stick to same programs but now need to update?? Cheers!!

    Make a backup of your computer first before doing any updates.  In rare but unfortunate cases an update seems to result (from what the people posting here say) in libraries being deleted.  Then too, sometimes people update and discover they really don't like the new version.  Downgrading without a backup is difficult. In the long run you can't avoid going to a newer version but I, for example, have been running the same iTunes version for 7 years now so it is possible to hang on.
    You also don't provide details about your MacBook which includes many models.  If you are truly old school you could even be running a MacBook that can't  update to the newest, or at least may require other software or hardware upgrades.  Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

  • After updating my mac book pro to the osx yosemite.am getting some issues after starting up.a soon as it gets on the destop the screen start blinkingand i cant do anything

    After updating my mac book pro to the osx yosemite.am getting some issues after starting up.as soon as it gets on the destop the screen start blinking and i cant do anything.Please help me!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Should I update my Mac book for Itunes for the update for Lion if my Mac book is running on Leopard?

    Should I update my Mac book for Itunes for the update for Lion if my Mac book is running on Leopard?

    I don't understand your question.
    You can update itunes to the most recent available version for leopard without updating to Lion.

  • Since updating my Mac Book Pro from Mountain Lion to Maverick the computer is running slowly. Its slow to open and slow to download

    Hi since updating my Mac Book Pro from Mountain Lion to Maverick the computer is running slow

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Scroll back to the time you noted above. Select the messages entered from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat, whichever comes first. Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough. It is never necessary or helpful to post more than about 100 lines. "The more, the better" is not the rule here.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
    As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files

  • I recently updated my mac book pro and some of the apps like itunes, and Mail have stop responding. Itunes will work fine till I connect my iphone 4. The moment I connect my Iphone it stops responding.

    I recently updated my Mac book and Itunes and Mail have stop responding.
    iTunes work fine till I connect my Iphone. The moment I connect my iphone it stops responding. I have reset my phone couple of times already and have re-install iTunes few times. Does anyone have any other suggestion on it?
    Mail will never Quit. It will get my new mails or send them when I start it but after five mins or so it will stop responding at all.
    Please let me know if anyone is facing similar problem.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • Updated my mac book pro today

    Updated my mac book pro today and now my home page is blank. Went in to Safari preferences and reset it and it is still is a blank page when I open Safari. Please help.

    I have it working now.
    I had to go in the finder, home, library, caches, com.apple.safari.plist. Then drag com.apple.safari.plist to trash. Then just reset your home page. It worked great.
