Can I upgrade to Maverick from OSX 10.7?

I havent upgraded to Mountain Lion
Will I be able to upgrade to Mavericks - i.e. skip Mountain
Thanks

You probably will, but it'll also depend on the hardware requirements of Mavericks. And we don't know those until Apple announces them.

I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8?

I have Quicken for mac 2005, can I upgrade to Maverick from OS X 10.6.8 and not keep all data?

I am new to the Apple Support community but am hopeful that you can help me!! I have just bought a MacBook Air, migrated my stuff and found that my Quicken for Mac 2005 is no longer supported. (I still have my Quicken 2005 working on my Mac OS X - Version 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard?) I saw a thread of communications back in 2012/13 where you helped a lot of people find ways to get their 2005 data into new versions - something about a $15 purchase. However, I can't find those discussions again. AND I don't know if they are 'relevant' because I'm now using the latest Yosemite, which someone just told me to upgrade for free....But this same person told me to switch to iBank, which others who have used Quicken for years didn't like. I'd just as soon stay with Quicken but it seems like they have less support for Mac users. Do you think I can move my data successfully still? I live and work overseas and leave the USA on Monday and am trying to leave my older MacBook Air (the one with my 2005 Quicken on it) here....
Thanks for any advice.

As of now you can upgrade to Yosemite, but not to Mavericks, at the App Store.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

Can you upgrade to mavericks from older versions besides Mountain Lion?

Previously, since they were paid, you had to pay your way up to the second-most recent one to upgrade to the most recent one.
However, since Mavericks is free, are you allowed to go from say 10.6 to 10.9, skipping the fee for 10.8 and 10.7?
EDIT: I now know you can jump from 10.7 to 10.9. Can you jump from 10.6 to 10.9?

Can't upgrade to Mavericks from 10.7.5 (Mid-09 MBP)

Hey all,
Having a bit of a debacle here.
My MBP had the hard drive cable go kaputz, so I replaced it, then reloaded 10.6 back onto it. I was running Mavericks beforehand.
Well, I had my old HDD ghosted and all of my content is on my new drive, including my apps that are now set to 10.9, so I went to the app store, downloaded 10.9, tried installing it, and now it says "Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer."
Thought it was a Snow Leopard issue so I went to my previous purchases, installed Lion, and now it's giving me the exact same message.
I know my MBP can run it. ****, I had it as my OS for 4 months. What gives?
Thanks in advance.

Instead of downloading from the App Store, try OS X Recovery.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys.
From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to reinstall OS X.

I can not upgrade to Maverick from the App store

Though it is available for me to download. My specs are: MacBook c. 2010, OS X Lion 10.7.5, 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM and 48GB free. Is there aay for me to know what I am missing? Why it won't install?

That could be one of two models with that designation. Neither of which will accept Mavericks.

Recently upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8. Now I can't access Segoe UI Light when in any Microsoft 2011 Office for Mac app.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8. Now I can't access Segoe UI Light when in any Microsoft 2011 Office for Mac app. When I open files using Segoe UI Light created before the OS upgrade, another font shows up on the page, yet checking the ribbon, it lists the font as Segoe UI Light. Only Light ( Regular, SemiLight, Semibold, Bold, etc. are all accessible) and only Microsoft apps (works fine in Adobe suite). The Segoe UI family is enabled in Font Book. This font is used extensively in company presentations and documents, so I absolutely need access to it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Please tell me where I can download Mavericks 10.9.5....
I have updated the OSX on my iMAC (mid 2010 ) to YOSEMITE 10.10.1 and I am not liking it, and want to go back to Mavericks. Foolishly I did not make a backup prior to updating to yosemite. :-(

I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I access all of my save Word documents? I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004). If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?

I upgraded to Mavericks from 10.6.8 and I no longer have any of my mail folders in macmail. If I look up an email via spotlight, I can find it, so it's in there. How do I restore my folders?

As an update: I was able to find my archived boxes and emails on my hard drive by doing this:
Open a Finder window.
Select Go | Go to Folder… from the menu.
Type "~/Library/Mail/V2".
Once I was able to get my macmail working properly, most of my mailboxes appeared, however not all and only a few recent emails are in a few of the boxes.
I really need to move the emails from the archive back into my macmail. When I try to import using the mbox method, it doesn't recognize the .mbox even though they are .mbox. Other than re-emailing each individually to myself, I don't know what to do. Does anyone out there have any suggestions as to some easier solution?

Can't install Mavericks from OSX 10.7.5

I've had many attempts at trying to install Mavericks from OSX 10.7.5 but when the download is complete & I try to do the install I get a message saying that the download could not be verified or was corrupted...

First, check to see if your computer can run Mavericks.
Here's the list.

HT1444 how can I upgrade my macbook from 10.5.8 version to the latest version

how can I upgrade my macbook from OS X 10.5.8 version to the latest version?

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs. You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (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:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

How can I upgrade to Maverick 10.7?

One week ago I purchased Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 (upon the recommendation of a Genius). Now I discover that I require a higher version. How can I upgrade to Maverick 10.9 at no additional cost?

Update to 10.6.8 to get the latest version of the App Store.
Once there you can purchase and download Mavericks from the App Store.

You can't upgrade to Mavericks since the release of Yosemite. You can stay where your are or install Yosemite.

I recently upgraded to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. Does Snow Leopard still exist on my Mac? If so, is it possible to restart under Snow Leopard in order to run PowerPC apps? If not, is there an OS available in 64 bit that supports PowerPC apps? Mav ***.

The only reason I upgraded to Mavericks was because my Snow Leopard OS was 32 bit, which I was told would support only 4GB of RAM.
That wasn't quite right. You can put in as much RAM as your Mac's hardware supports. The division is in the apps themselves. A 32 bit app can't use more than 4 GB or RAM. A 64 bit app can use much more.
For example, as a 32 bit only version, Photoshop CS3 can't use more 4GB of RAM, no matter how much you actually have installed. CS4 or later can use all the RAM you want to throw at it.
