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 to 10.5 on power pc g4 mac mini?

    Can I upgrade to 10.5 on power pc g4 mac mini?
    Processor Type:
    PowerPC G4
    Processor Speed:
    1.25 GHz
                                                                                          Memory:
    256 MB

    You need to upgrade your RAM for any performance! At least 1GB.
    Crucial link for your 1.25 here.
    You may need to switch to the US store via the flag at the top.
    Biggest problem is getting the retail Leopard disc. You may be able to get one from Apple Phone Sales still, but expect to pay $100 - $130.
    Amazon had some for $180 and up last time I looked.

  • 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 Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

    Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    It is needed to run applications that require Rosetta (Eudora e-mail, Palm Desktop PDA-PIM, Canvas drawing from ACDsee, etc). Thanks

    Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    No. Your best option by far is to find updates or replacements for that long-obsolete software. In the long run, you'll have no other choice. As a last resort, you could do this:
    Installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels
    The instructions are slightly out of date. That's not a recommendation and I haven't tried it myself.

  • Can I upgrade to OS X v10.5 on my mac?  don't have original 10.4.11 discs..

    I could really use some help if anyone is knowledgeable on this. I have 2 questions.
    Can I run OS X v 10.5 on my mac or is it too old/incompatible? See model/specs below. Also, I bought this from a college auction and didn't receive any of the original software discs. IF I can run v 10.5 on this model, do I need the original install discs for Tiger or is the Leopard upgrade DVD all I need?
    Here are the specs for my mac:
    Machine Name: iMac G5
    Machine Model: PowerMac8,2
    CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 1.8 GHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
    Memory: 512 MB
    Bus Speed: 600 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 5.2.5f1
    Thank You!!!!

    I was waiting to buy a retail version of leopard if I am able to install. Do you have a link where I can track down RAM for this model, the upgrade to 2GB? I have found a few sites but don't want to get the wrong brand or hit any other road blocks.

  • Can I upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion on my Mac Book OS X 10.6.8?

    Can I Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion If I'm using a Mac Book using Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion you need to make sure that your machine is suited to these requirements:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2 GB of RAM
    8 GB of free disk space
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    In such case, you can purchase a distribution OS X Mountain Lion in the Mac App Store for example.

  • 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 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.

  • Difficulties upgrading Bose Sound Link II bluetooth speak from Mac OS

    Tried to upgrade the Bose SoundLink II bluetooth mobile speak firmware from Mac OS snow leporad. Nothing happens
    1. I followed all instructions on Bose website up until pressing the AUX button for 10 seconds
    2. Nothing happens. It just keeps blinking and stuck from there.

    That is the most rediculous thing I learned about the Bose System.
    They don't post what their version is.
    They don't let you look inside the Bose to determine what version you have
    The software doesn't say ANYTHING except so you have no idea if its working or not.
    So you have NO idea if its working or not, latest version or not

  • Going back to Mac OS 10.8.4 from Mac OS 10.8.5

    Hi everyone,
    I have a Mac Pro that I purchased with Mac OS 10.6 (with DVD instal), and I purchased Mac OS 10.8 a year ago. A few weeks ago, I upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.5.
    Because of a bug with Avid Media Composer, I absolutely have to go back to 10.8.4.
    I made a backup with Time Machine, erased my disk (once a year, a clean install doesn't hurt) and... and what can I do now ? When I launch the install of Mac OS 10.8, it automatically installs 10.8.5.
    I tried to install the combo 10.8.4.dmg, but the Mac says it won't install a previous version of 10.8.5.
    I also tried to go back to 10.6.8 and launch the combo 10.8.4.dmg, but then the Mac says Mac OS 10.8 lacks.
    If anyone has an idea, it could be such a great help... thank you !
    Cécile

    You must erase the drive, reinstall 10.6.8, then upgrade to Mountain Lion. However, you will end up with 10.8.5, again. 10.8.4 or earlier are not available any longer. If you did not save the 10.8.4 system on a backup or save the 10.8 installer application, then you cannot downgrade 10.8.5.

    mke52, is your MP an Intel machine? If so, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    If not, 10.5.8 is the best you can do.
    If you have Mactracker, it will give you all the upgrade combos for your model as sell as info on all Macs.
    Its pretty interesting (and free)
