Can I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 without a DVD?

Can I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 without a DVD?

No, unless you're already running some version of Mac OS X 10.5. If you're running 10.5.8 and want to upgrade further, you need the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD or a Mac OS X 10.7 USB thumbdrive.

  • Can I upgrade to Master Collection CS5.5 without uninstalling Design Premium CS3

    Hi,
    I work for a company that has offices worldwide, but do not have the budget to upgrade all licences which is why I need to keep InDesign/Illustrator CS3.
    I wish to switch from Final Cut Express to Adobe Premier Pro/After Effects (I don't like the new Final Cut Pro X - for many reasons)

    Absolutely. The upgrade won't touch the earlier version.
    Make sure you buy the right upgrade. Here's a link to it on Amazon: http://amzn.to/oRnKh4

  • I am using ios 4.2 gm how can i upgrade to ios 4.3.3 without any error?, i am using ios 4.2 gm how can i upgrade to ios 4.3.3 without any error?

    i am using ios 4.2 8c134, i can't upgrade to any ios.. but ios 5.xx above i not try yet.. any suggestion or ideas to make sure the upgrade will work?
    sorry for my bad english.. 

    It is not possible to update the iOS to any version besides the most recent version. You can only update to iOS 5.1 at the time.
    Start iTunes on your computer and use its menu to check for updates. If there is an update download and install the latest version of iTunes for your computer. Then restart your computer and start iTunes. Connect your iPad to your computer and in iTunes on your computer select your iPad in the left column. In the right column select General and click on Check for Updates. Follow the prompts to complete the update process.
    The iOS update is a large file. A good Internet connection is required. Many users have discovered that they need to turn off virus protection and their firewall to get the update to proceed to completion. If you have problems updating turn off these items and try again

  • I can't get the mac app store. There's no software update availiable and it seems i can't upgrade to Mac OS X Lion without that.

    There's no mac app store availiable to download for me.
    I want to upgrade to Mac OS X Lion, but without that mac app store it seems to be impossible.
    I did all software updates but never got that mac app store. So what can I do now?

    THis is because you have two OS X upgrade steps. First, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard ($29 us, disk only, no download).
    Once you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, and run Software Update to get to 10.6.8 then you'll have the Mac App Store and can take the second OS X upgrade step to Lion 10.7.2.

  • Upgrade to Tiger on an iBook without a dvd drive?

    My wife has a g3 iBook running 10.3.9. I have a g4 powerbook running 10.49. I want to upgrade my wife's system to 10.4 so we can have network security. Unfortunately her computer has only a cd drive and the install disks I have are dvd. I've tried connecting my computer to hers via both ethernet and fiewire target mode. I can move files onto her machine except for invisible files via firewire but they won't install - error 999. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi
    Unfortunately, your install DVD won't be able to install the OS onto her iBook as grey disks are machine-specific. She needs to get the Full Retail Version of Mac OS X 10.4 which, normally, comes on a black DVD with a silver X on it. However you can get 10.4 on CDs from AppleRescue
    If you're willing to buy an external DVD Writer, you could get the 10.4.6 DVD from Apple or look on http://www.amazon.com for 10.4. Either way, you would then need the Mac OS X 10.4.9 PPC Combo Updater to get up-to-date.

  • How can I do a clean install of Leopard without the DVD?

    My macbook pro is running very slowly and keeps popping up with a notification that the startup disk is full.  I'd like to do a clean install but do not have the DVD.  Is there a way for me to do a clean install without this disk? If not, is there an easy way to wipe the HD to speed things up?

    You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a small fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
    However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured.

  • Can I upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1 if I run Mac OSX 10.6.8?

    I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8.

    No, iPhoto 9.6 requires Yosemite.
    You need to upgrade your system first.

  • I bought PhotoShop 12.0 for Windows 8.  I cannot find the Curves function in the program.  Is Curves excluded from this version? If so, how can I upgrade to get Curves?  Thank you!

    I bought PhotoShop 12.0 for Windows 8.  I cannot find the Curves function in the program.  Is Curves excluded from this version? If so, how can I upgrade to get Curves?  Thank you!

    Thank you, Michel, for your helpful answer.  I have downloaded SmartCurve and saved the files in C:\program files\adobe\Photoshop elements\plug-ins.  I re-started PhotoShop.  Do I access SmartCurve to adjust curves from within PhotoShop? 
    You can acces it from the menu 'Filters', there is a line called 'Easy.Filter', click it and it shows 'Smartcurve'.
    Separately, can I upgrade my PhotoShop Elements to Photoshop without signing up to the CC 'rental' system of monthly payments?  Sincere thanks,  Ted
    I know that you don't need the CC 'rental' subscription to have Photoshop, but as far as I know, there is no upgrade path from Elements except periodical special offers.

  • Can i upgrade from snow leopard to yosemite?

    Can I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Yosemite without having a lot of problems? Or do I have to upgrade to something else first?  My browser is getting messages that I need to upgrade to work properly.  This has never been a problem until now.

    For future reference: You don't have to install an upgrade, just because Apple would like you to do so. Never install a major upgrade without first checking to see what problems people are having, and what software will be incompatible. You lose nothing by waiting a while.
    You can restore your Snow Leopard system from your most recent complete system backup before upgrading. If you have no backup, you will have to try to back up now, and then you will have to re-install Snow leopard from the system disks that came with your computer. You will have to boot from the Install disk, and erase your drive, and re-install Snow Leopard, then apply the various Snow Leopard updates to get back to 10.6.8. After that, you can try to bring back some of the critical files from your Yosemite backup, but some of it may not survive the transition.

  • Can I upgrade my Sony Laptop's Graphic Card?

    My laptop is relatively new and I only bought it a few months ago, model #VPCEB. It currently has a 512 MB ATI Radeon HD 5470 which I want to upgrade so I can have StarCraft II run smoothly because it is kind of choppy right now. I just want to know, is there a way I can actually upgrade my computer and what would be a good graphics card?

    It used to be that some laptops would come with 2-3 options of graphics chipsets, and you could swap between them, plus manufacturers might use the same form factor for a series of laptops (For example, all Dell Inspiron 8000 series units used the same card form factor - so you could upgrade an I8000 to the graphics chipset that came with the I8200).  This is no longer the case, even the highend gaming laptops don't have upgradeable graphics.

  • Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

    HI all,
    Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
    cheers

    You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
    Pertaining to  bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.

    Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
    Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E2-1800.html
    You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.
