Can't afford to upgrade from 10.3.9!

What can I do? I don't really care about the new MobileMe options at the moment but need to be able to access my website and gallery for posting client photos. I have a new MacG4 at work but would like to be able to use my older one at home to still access everything. I still have to install iLife 08 at home, but use it at work a lot!
Is there anything that can be done and will my04 iMac be able to handle the upgrade if that's my only option?
thanks for any help...

Some G4 iMac models can only be upgraded to Tiger (10.4) while later G4 iMac models can be upgraded to Leopard. Unfortunately, you haven't provided sufficient information to know which model you have.
Open System Profile in the Utilities folder. Look for the Machine ID in the Hardware Overview information. If it says Powermac6,1 or higher then it can be upgraded to Leopard if you have at least 512 MBs of installed RAM.
Tiger is no longer available from Apple so you would need to purchase it from a third-party such as eBay or FastMac.com. Leopard (10.5) is the current version and available directly from Apple or a local Apple retailer.

Can I run Acrobat 9 Pro and X Pro, can't afford plugin upgrades

Can I run Acrobat 9 Pro and X Pro
Can't afford plugin upgrades from 9 to X

If you wish to run both the version on the same machine. It's not a supported configuration as Version 9 and X Pro share the same namespace and you may run into issues which would be hard to fix.
I would recomend to use single version. Let me know, if you need more information.

Where can I download the upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6?

Where can I download the upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6?

Call 1-800-MY-APPLE to buy the DVD ... no download for it.
$19 for single user license, $29 for 5-user license (Apple will eventually stop sellingand only Amazon at $100+ will be left, so you may want to buy a 5-user pack now).

Where can i find the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2?

Hello there.
Is the upgrade from logic pro 7.1.1 to 7.2 still available out there somewhere? I know I'm a bit behind the rest of the world but financially I'm taking the 'do the best with what you can' route!
Never used logic before, moving up from garageband and cubase sx cos everyone says it's a better program.
Many thanks,
GDx

Hi
If I remember correctly, the 7.2 update was a "Paid for" update, with a new dvd.... so you are most likely out of luck.
The good news is that Logic Pro is pretty cheap on the Appstore

Where can I find the upgrade from Elements 9 to Elements 12?

I cannot find the page to upgrade Elements. Can someone please give me a link?
Thank you

You have to purchase upgrades from one version number to another. The adobe upgrade is linked on the main product page for PSE, but it's usually silly to buy the upgrade because most of the time you can find the full version for less at big box stores and major online retailers if you aren't in a big hurry.

Where can I buy an upgrade from Dreamweaver CS5 to CS6?

I am looking to get an upgrade from my current Dreamweaver CS 5.0 to CS 6.0
I found this upgrade
Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 Upgrade from CS5.5 WIN/MAC [Download]
that is from CS5.5 to 6.0, but I don't know if it will ONLY work with CS5.5 or if it will also upgrade the 5.0 version as well
Anyone know how i can upgrade my dreamweaver to version 6?

I'm reasonably certain the upgrade you found at that third party site would not work with your version.
But it looks like you still qualify for partial upgrade pricing through Adobe, it drops from $399 for the full version to $249 going from 5.0 to 6.0 (skipping 5.5)...
http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?promoid=KFPHB
1. Click the Buy link under the Dreamweaver CS6 $399..00 price.
2. Change "I want to buy" to "Upgrade"
3. Change "I own" to "CS5" and the price changes to the Upgrade Pricing
If you had 5.5, the price would only be $125 to upgrade through Adobe (that third party site is charging a little more than Adobe does for the same upgrade).

I can't seem to upgrade from iTunes 10.3 to iTunes 10.5 after installing Lion

Does anybody know who to upgrade from iTunes 10.3 to 10.5 after upgrading to Lion. It's not working for me. Always stay at 10.3, can't upgrade iPhone to IOS 5. Help!!

You need to use the combo updater in order to make the jump directly to 10.2.8. If you are using the incremental updater it won't work.
Instead of downloading the updater I suggest you use Software Update to update your computer. In addition to the combo updater you will probably need some additional updates. Software Update will list all the updates you need, download them and install them automatically for you.
Before you do the updates, however, be sure to do the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.0.6 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Do not update the computer until you have verified that the hard drive is OK and your permissions have been repaired.

HT5654 Can you update or upgrade from a 2cd gen to a 3 or 4 gen? If so how?

Can you update or upgrade a 2cd gen ipod touch to a 3rd or 4th gen? If so how?

Sell it and put the money towards a newer model. If it's in working order, you're far better off selling it to someone other than Apple than using Apple's recycling program.

Open item ( balance) can be find in upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6

Dear experts
We are planning to upgrade our SAP system from 4.7 to ECC 6
One of my consultant told me that only open balance willbe moved ( customer /vendor open items)
How can it be done for the user if he want to see the details of cleared invoices/payment for the vendor/customer ????
Is this the drawback in SAP system
Rregars
Shamul heq

I think the consultant is confused with Archiving, this is an upgrade and nothing will be lost!! all info for vendors, customers, old invoices, cleared invoices, etc will be there once the system is upgraded.

I am running 6.1 and want to upgrade to 7.1 then to 10.1. I understand this is a two step process and can find where to upgrade from 7.1 to 10.1 but cannot find 6.1 to 7.1. Can anyone head me in the right direction?

Where can I find the pathway to upgrade my 6.1 iMac to the Lion 7.1 and then to the Montian Lion 10.1. I think I have to update to Lion before I can update to montian Lion but cannot find the upgrade to take me from 6.1 to 7.1

What are we talking about here? You've posted in a Windows forum, but seems you are referring to an iMac. But you are not referring to OS X version numbers. Maybe you should make clear what you want.

Where can I download an upgrade from CS5 Design Premium to CS6 Design Premium?

I am frustrated with the site - cannot find a way to upgrade to CS6 from CS5.

Hi there,
You can download Design & Web Premium CS6 from the below link:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=designweb_premium&loc=en_us
Once you download and install, you need to use CS6 serial number in the first screen and click next. On the next screen when it says "Previous qualifying version not available", please select CS5 Design Premium from the drop down list and enter your CS5 serial number and click next. It should then activate without any issues.

X11 App Can't Display After Upgrade from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6

Hi there,
Could someone tell me how to sovle this problem from an X11 xterm:
CharlesMac:~ charles$ xterm -display localhost:0.0
xterm Xt error: Can't open display: localhost:0.0
It works for:
CharlesMac:~ charles$ xterm -display .0
I also got the same error msg from a Linux box too:
[charles@Fedora4 ~]$ xclock -display 192.168.1.3:0.0
Error: Can't open display: 192.168.1.3:0.0
I think it was working before I upgraded the OS from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This sounds like something someone over at the Unix forum might be better equipped to answer:

While I do know some Unix, it has been a long time since I've played with xterm.

Can finally afford to upgrade & need advice

I'm looking to upgrade my eMac 700mhz/128 all original inerts
and running OSX 10.1.5 still.
I want to get up to speed with Tiger or the new Leopard coming soon. What do I need to install, hardware wise, to be able to run it effectively?
Thanks.
eMac 700mhz Mac OS X (10.1.x)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You will first definitely need to add RAM. Get a 512MB DIMM from Crucial and install it using the nVidia graphics model eMac instructions at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.
There's a handy guide to upgrading to Tiger in Gulliver - Tiger Upgrade Guide. If you don't have Disk Warrior 9as recommended in that guide), be aware that the Disk Utility version in Tiger 10.4.2 and later is far more capable than earlier versions. After booting from the Tiger Install disk, before actually beginning the install, you can use that disc's Disk Utility to run Repair Disk on the hard drive to make sure the drive is OK.
How much free space is there on the hard drive? You'll need 5GB or more to do an Archive and Install update to perserve your user data and settings.
A current backup of your data, on either an external Firewire HD or onto CD-R, is a near-essential (whether updating or not).
Does your eMac have a DVD-ROM/CD-RW or a DVD-RW/CD-RW optical drive? Tiger OS X 10.4 comes on DVD, so you'll need an internal DVD drive, or an external Firewire DVD drive (from which you can boot using Startup Manager), or you'll need to contact the Apple Store and ask about the Media Exchange Program (for small fee, Apple would in the past exchange the Tiger DVD for a set of CDs; that program expired and was extended about six times; I don't see it mentioned in the Apple Store website, but a phone call might get a helpful response).
You'll need to update any third-party disk utilities you might have for 10.1.5; see Only use Mac OS X 10.4-compatible disk utilities with Mac OS X 10.4 volumes.
The upgrade is well worth it; the difference in responsiveness and stability between 10.1.x and 10.4.x is quite impressive. Good luck!

I'm using an older iMac with OS10.4.11, and I'm using Firefox 3.6.17. The newest version of Firefox doesn't work with my computer. I've tried to find a download for Firefox 3.6.22 but can't find it. What can I do, I can't afford to upgrade my computer?

Help! I would like to update to the highest version I can with my older system - Mac OS 10.4.11. Can you help me?

As you have a Power Mac you also have a alternative option to consider which is a third-party build from http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2011/08/601-now-available.html
