  • How can I upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion?

    How can I upgrade from OS X Snow Leopard to OS X Lion?

    Well Mt Lion is the latest, but if your machine can't do 10.8, then call Apple via phone and order 10.7
    However you really need to do your homework first, as a lot of software and drivers could stop in 10.7, no Rosetta like in 10.6, could cost you plenty.

  • Can I upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my MacBook 10.5.8?

    can I upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my MacBook 10.5.8?  How and were can I get snow leopard if this is possible?

    The hardware requirements for 10.6 are
    Snow Leopard requires 1 GB of RAM and 5 GB of available drive space.
    The first generation Intel Macs, based on Intel Core Solo and Core Duo CPU, do not support 64-bit operation; all Core 2 Duo and later models do.
    These models do not have graphics processors that can benefit from OpenCL:
    MacBook Pro released before June 2007
    MacBook released before October 2008
    original MacBook Air
    iMacs released before March 2009
    Mac mini released before March 2009
    Mac Pro released before January 2008 (Jan. 2008 and later models with unsupported video cards can used the GeForce 8800 upgrade kit - Apple part no. MB137Z/A - for OpenCL support.)
    If you Mac Book meets these thaen you must puchase a Snow Leopard DVD. Amazon has it listed

  • Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from Leopard for free?

    Hi Apple Support,
    I was in the Apple, Covent Garden store the other day and an assistant said that I could upgrade to Mountain Lion from Leopard for free in one CD. He told me to call a number which I did and the assistant over the phone had no idea about this offer.
    Can someone dispell the confusion for me?
    Thanks

    You can't. The Mountain Lion upgrade is only free for people who purchased a new Mac on or after July 26 without it installed, and all of the computers which fall into that category shipped with Lion, not Leopard.

  • Can i upgrade the new OS X Lion for free if i bought my MacBook pro 13" around Apr 2011 in store?

    Hi eveyone,i just check online that you are entitle for a free upgrade to new OS X Lion  if you buy a mac book pro from June to July 2011. Can i upgrade the new OS X Lion for free if i bought my MacBook pro 13" around Apr 2011 in store?

    When it says on Apples website that it runs from june - july 2011, I seriously doubt you can get it for free when you bought it already in April.
    Cheers

  • Can I upgrade from Tiger to snow leopard using an external DVD drive

    I've been trying to upgrade to Snow Leopard from Tiger but keep nothing happens. I keep getting a grey folder with a question mark on it. Can anyone tell me what this means?

    If you have another Mac with Firewire, you can use it's Optical Drive as a big Firewire Optical, put the Install disc in the other Mac, boot the other Mac in to
    Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Connect a fw cable, use the Otion key on this one to choose the Install Disc in the other Mac.
    Can I install if I make a bootable copy to my firewire external?
    Yes, especially if you have a small 5 to 9GB Partition, you can use DU to Restore the Install Disc to that.

  • How can I upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard wihout violating EULA while Mac Box Set is no longer available?

    I use my original Tiger bought with MacBook Pro. But now so many applications do not support Tiger, so I decided to upgrade to SL.
    But required by Apple way to do this with Mac Box Set seems to be impossible. Mac Box Set is no longer available from Apple.
    Is upgrading using Snow Leopard disc, which is still in Apple Store, ok?
    I will be gratefull for help.

    The Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. If you just use the SL installer, you don't get the additional apps.
    Read this article.
    Installing Snow Leopard: What you need to know
    http://www.macworld.com/article/142454/2009/08/install_snow_leopard.html
    The Snow Leopard box set is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). You may also find a box set on eBay.
    It's possible that some of your current apps may not work in Snow Leopard. You can check here: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Application Compatibility List at http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/

    I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

  • Can I upgrade from Leopard(OS X 10.5) to Mountain Lion(OS X 10.8)?

    I have a 2 1/2 year old iMac still in the box with Leopard pre-installed. How do I get my iMac up to date with Mountain Lion? Is Mountain Lion too much for my iMac's Intel 3.06GHz Core i3 processor and 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM?

    No, you don't have to bother with 10.5.8.
    When you have installed Snow Leopard, 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:

  • I have mac pro quad can i upgrade from leopard to lion on one of the hardrives and then drag all my protools sessions into from the leopard hardrive to the lion hardrive thanks

    i run a commercial recording studio since 2009 and purchased a mac pro quad core with os x 10.5.8 and record with protools,   it has now got to the point where i can no longer purchase plugins for protools because the operating system is to old i need at least snow leopard ,i have never upgraded and am concerned about losing any previous protools sessions and plugins ,it has been suggested to me to upgrade just one of the hardrives to snow leopard or lion or the latest system and then just open a protools session on the old osx hardrive and save to the new upgraded hardrive , is this possible? or has anyone any suggestions ,many thanks

    You should seriously consider establishing a Boot drive, with only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files (including Paging/Swap) on it. User files are moved off to another drive.
    This makes maintaining the System and maintaining your User files much easier, and it makes your Mac faster in every way.

  • Clarification on upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard

    I know that this topic has been covered, but Apple's wording makes me very curious, and I am wondering if it is still actually possible to install Snow Leopard on a Tiger machine without buying the box set.
    They say that Tiger users should buy the box set, but it doesn't explicitly say that Tiger users MUST purchase the box set. Furthermore, the system requirements only state that the Leopard installation requires an Intel-based mac, which could include systems with either Tiger or Leopard.
    My guess is that the box set simply includes the exact same Snow Leopard install disc and also has the updated iLife software so that Tiger users can be up-to-date. Although, it is always possible that Snow Leopard won't install on a Tiger mac without the iLife discs I suppose...
    I am not trying to be cheap, I'm already purchasing SL for my Intel Mac Mini that already has Leopard, but I'm wondering if I should spring for the family pack to also install it on my Tiger-based Intel Macbook. There's a pretty big price leap between the $49 family pack and the $229 box-set family pack.
    If anyone actually tries this or knows a definitive answer, other than the vague wording on Apple's webpage, I'd love to know! Thanks much.
    Nate

    I see where you're coming from.
    The site reads "Upgrade from Leopard for just $29". There's nothing that says you can't upgrade from Tiger for $29.
    It also says "Snow Leopard is an upgrade for Leopard users and requires a Mac with an Intel processor". Technically, Snow Leopard is also an upgrade for Tiger.
    The boxed set is tagged "Upgrade your Mac experience: With Snow Leopard, iLife ’09, and iWork ’09 all in one box, the Mac Box Set is the best way to upgrade your Mac experience, especially if you’re still using Mac OS X Tiger."
    There is no mention of an "upgrade edition" of Snow Leopard anywhere and there's no verbiage to suggest that there are version checks on the $29 disk. There is nothing stating that you can't use the $29 disk to upgrade Tiger.
    While the marketing pushes you that direction there is nothing anywhere that says that Tiger users MUST buy the boxed set.
    There is no evidence that there is a technical or licensing limitation preventing using the $29 Snow Leopard disk to be used to upgrade Tiger 100% legally.
    Everything is so carefully worded that it's not unreasonable to suspect that Tiger users can upgrade to Snow Leopard with the $29 disk legally and easily.

  • I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and I noticed that I have more capacity available on the Macintosh HD. I checked my files and applications and they are still on my computer. Can capacity on the HD change after an OS upgrade?

    I recently upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard on my MacBook and I noticed that I have more capacity on the Macintosh HD than before the upgrade. I checked my files and applications and they are still on my computer and nothing appears to be missing. Before the upgrade I had around 111 GB capacity with around 10.50 GB available on the Mac HD but now after the upgrade I have 119 GB capacity and 20.92 GB available. Can capacity on the HD change after an OS upgrade?

    No, but the upgrade removed unneeded PowerPC code and changed the way free space is determined.
