Can i upgrade to 10.6.3 snow leapord from 10.4.11?

Can I upgrade to 10.6.3 snow leopard from 10.4.11? If so, can I just purchase the snow leopard disk or do I have to purchase the mac box set?

Assuming your system has the minimum technical specifications then yes you can purchase just the SL Retail disc and perform the upgrade. As with any OS upgrade I would STRONGLY recommend following the suggestions in this Update Process post. The minimum tech specs for SL are:
System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple's MobileMeservice; fees and terms apply.

Can i upgrade to mac os x 10.8 from mac ox 10.6.8

can i upgrade to mac os x 10.8 from mac os x 10.6.8?

OS X 10.8 is not released yet so no one knows what the system requirements will be.
What model MacBook Pro do you have? To find out go to  > About this Mac, and click More Info... The model will appear under "hardware profile".
It is highly likely recent MacBook Pro models will be able to run OS X 10.8 just fine.
However, since the very early ones cannot run Lion, it is doubtful they will be able to run Mountain Lion. So the answer depends upon which model you have.

Can I Upgrade my Black Macbook to Snow Leopard?

Hey!
I have a black macbook that I got in early 2008. It has 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 Duo, 4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and it is on version 10.6.8. I do not have Snow Leopard though, and I know this because I cannot download the upgrade to Lion and other things that require me to have Snow Leopard.
So my question is, can I purchase the Snow Leopard Upgrade in the apple store and upgrade my black macbook to Snow Leopard? Then will I be able to download the free upgrades to Lion and Mavericks and such? I want to be able to use my two macbooks to share the mouse and keyboard between the two using SynergyKM, but this black macbook does not have Snow Leopard. Please help! Thanks!!

10.6.8 is Snow Leopard.
Lion and Mountain Lion Upgrades are not Free. Mavericks is.
Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...
 > About this Mac > Version...what does it say?

I'm still on Mac OS, the original, can I upgrade to Mac OS X snow Leopard still?

Alright, I've been using Mac Os, the very very first Mac OS . I've been wondering if I can still update up to OS X Snow Leopard. I seriously hope I can.

Can i upgrade cpu of my late 2009 macbook from intel core 2 duo to intel i5 for i7?

My macbook is a late 2009 macbook with 2.26GHz Intel core 2 duo processor with 2GB DDR3 memory. Can I upgrade its processor to latest dual-core intel i7 processors?

However drop an SSD in that puppy and bump the RAM to 8 GB and you'll never miss the i5 or i7 processor.

Can't upgrade a legacy version of iLife '11 from the Mac App Store.

I have bought, a few years back, a legacy version of iLife '11 on DVD. I have heard that Apple is offering a free upgrade to their new iLife suite but when I accessed the Mac App Store, I can't upgrade to the new version. I currently have not made the move to Mavericks and I am still on Mountain Lion on a late 2009 iMac. Have I heard wrong and I am not allowed to a free upgrade or is there something I need to do to upgrade iLife?

You need to upgrade to OS X Mavericks first, as the most recent iLife versions are only compatible with OS X Mavericks.
After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, you will be prompted to update the iLife applications in the Mac App Store, and it will ask you for your Apple ID to register the applications to your Apple ID, so you can get them free of charge

Can my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a handle a SSD and how do I make the switch. Can I do a clean install of Snow Leopard from an original cd

Here is my problem, I want to upgrade my macbook pro mid 2007 3.1 AA896ll/a to an Solid State Drive, a Crucial m4 256 gb, I want to know if the macbook will be able to handle it and how do I do the switch. also once I install the drive will I be able to boot from my Snow Leoard original cd and do a clean install. Thank you

Coming from a 5,400 RPM drive that's nearly filled up, fragmented and deoptimized to a fresh install of OS X on a SSD will of course be a improvement.
However fresh installing OS X on a new 5,400 RPM will also see a improvement, boot up in 30 seconds.
A fresh install of OS X on a new 7,200 RPM drive will also see a improvement, boot up in 25 seconds.
A fresh install of OS X on a new SSD will see the best improvement, boot up in 20 seconds on fast SATA connections.
OS X still requires time to setup and that takes about 20 seconds despite how fast your boot drive is, that's why sleep was created.
Things to consider: The higher cost of a SSD, the limiting capacity (hard drives hold way more up), the SATA I speed limitations (slows up on large file transfers), the difficulty to scrub the SSD of unwanted data (like you can a hard drive), and it's limited write capability. Also the smaller SSD's are faster than the larger ones.
SSD's are shock proof, which is their slight advantage over hard drives.
I see a 120GB SSD in a SATA I machine as being a waste, it's too small of a storage space (500GB+ is ideal), the SATA I connection is slow and other factors that make a 7,200 RPM drive a better option in that machine.
One can get a 750 GB 7,200 RPM hard drive for about the same price and still maximize their boot time in the process, also being able to scrub their drive of unwanted data easily.
SSD's can't be scrubbed, one has to fill 50% of the remaining space with many, very small files to overwrite the free space, then do another 50% again to defeat the Trim/wear leveling as SSD's write to less used location each time. If one fills a OS X boot drive up completely, it won't function or won't boot up.
If you do this fill routine regularly with software, then you prematurely wear out the SSD as it has limited writes. Why Disk Utility doesn't offer zero or 7x erase for SSD's.
If your in the 10% of Internet traffic that's going to adult sites, then the ability to scrub the caches and storage drive of embarrassing unwanted data is a necessity. Especially in the light of software and hardware that can read the SSD of deleted data.
Trick links and redirects on poisoned sites can firebomb your Mac with some pretty bad pictures and your hidden caches as well, especially if you don't like to pay.
IT personal have at their disposal free open source forensic software that basically aggregates all the past behavior done on the machine into a nice, easy to view format with times, dates and when and where content was downloaded from.
Since one has to give up their password for repair folks to recover data and fix the machine...
I think a SSD is less of a benefit over a 7,200 hard drive for that particular model of Mac for a mere few seconds faster boot time.

Can I start up my new imac (Snow Leopard) from a Tiger installation disc?

Last week I upgraded to an entirely new machine. My old imac was running on Tiger and the logic board failed. Though I had an external, I had my local Apple store transfer my hard drive data to my new mac. Since then, I've run Disc Utility a few times, each time with no problem until today.
Disc Utility is giving me the following error:
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
Since I don't have a Snow Leopard disc, I've tried starting up with my old Tiger installation disc, but to no avail... At the risk of sounding a little stupid, should Apple have given me a Leopard disc with my purchase?

you can not use the tiger disk. you need to use your snow leopard disk. what happened to yours? every new computer comes with one. it's called install disk one and is packaged with every new computer.

Can't Upgrade To Flash Builder 4.6 Standard from 4.5.1 Standard

A while ago, I bought Adobe CS5 Web Premium (with educational licensing). Since then, Adobe flash builder has been updated to version 4.6, which contains features that I wish to use - mobile developement. However, I cannot seem to find any way to upgrade my current Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Standard. I have found a download which installs Flash Builder 4.6 Premium, but this does not accept my license key (which seems normal, since I do not have a 4.5 Premium license). I cannot, however find any way of updating to 4.6 Standard. There is no "try" option for 4.6 Standard, though on the product page, it claims that it comes with a complimentary upgrade to 4.6 Standard. Does anyone have any clues on how to upgrade Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Standard?

As per the user agreement, I installed Creative Suite (CS) Web Premium 5.5 on both a desktop and a laptop. On the desktop (which was the first machine I tried to update) I went threw all the steps listed in my previous post before I got it to work. Once I got it working on my desktop I figured out that I could simplify the process for the laptop update. Here's what I did...
1) Deactivated CS 5.5 by going into Flash Builder clicking Help > Deactivate Flash Builder...and clicking "Deactivate Permanently" (which deactivated the entire suite)
2) Uninstalled only Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component through the Control Panel (I'm sure you know how to do but just in case... go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (terminology may vary based on your OS) and click on your CS and click Uninstall. This will launch the Adobe uninstaller. From there deselect everything and only select (check) Flash Builder 4.5 and the iOS Component and then uninstall them - uninstalling the iOS Component might not be necessary, but I did it anyway)
3) Restarted after those uninstalled
4) Launched Photoshop and entered my CS Serial Number (you should be able to launch any CS program thats still installed to do this)
5) Once it opened, closed it
6) Installed Flash Builder 4.6 in Trial Mode making sure to select the same language used when CS was installed (that's IMPORTANT)
7) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 in 60-Day (or however many days it was) Trail Mode
8) Once it opened, closed it
9) Launched Flash Builder 4.6 again, but this time I entered the Serial Number from my CS (at that point it accepted the SN and opened like normal and has everytime since)
10) I then installed my iOS Component from my original CS
That's it.
If you aren't having luck with the steps I posted in my earlier replies, you might want to try the steps I just mentioned. Start by installing your entire CS again - making special note of the language you select. Once installed and SN entered and you're sure your programs are up and running, the steps mentioned here worked for me. They're also less time consuming than the steps I entered in my previous reply.
The only issue I can see would be trying to update from Flash Builder 4.5 Standard to Flash Builder 4.6 Premium. But Jeff didn't say that was a problem, so you should be ok there.
Hope these steps help.
Good luck.

Can I upgrade my e9150t front panel 2 usb from 2.0 to 3.0?

I have an e9150t about 5 or so years old. I just added a USB 3.0 card to it. Can I somehow upgrade or swap out the front panel top left 2 usb slots with 3.0?

Hi,
I think this is just a DIY (do it yourself) job and you can do what ever you want after warranty period.

How can i upgrade to Premiere Pro 8.0.1 from 8.0.0 without going to 8.1.0?

I had recently updated to the latest version of Premiere Pro, the 2014.1 release (which is version 8.1.0). However, I need to maintain compatibility with the computers used in my film production class, which are stuck at 8.0.1 for now. I was able to successfully roll back to 8.0.0 (the 2014 release) using the Creative Cloud manager and everything is working fine. However, I would like to update to the 8.0.1 version so I can get the bug fixes that were included with the update. Telling the Creative Cloud manager to update downloads 8.1.0, and I can't find anywhere to download 8.0.1 manually. Is there a way that I can do this?

That is really useful, but I'm actually looking for the Mac version. I forgot to put that in the description because a solution from Adobe would likely provide both.
EDIT: Found the Mac version of the page: All Adobe CC 2014 Updates: The Direct Download Links for Mac OS | ProDesignTools. I'll mark your answer as correct. Thanks

If your system's not compatible with 10.8 and has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for 10.7.
