Can't update from OSX 10.4.11 to 10.4.2

I have a G4 MDD Dual 867 Mhz. I have downloaded a OSX 10.4.2 updater from the Apple downloads area. I have OSX 10.4.11 and it won't allow me to install it on the selected drive, and I get error message:
"You cannot install Mac OSX Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements of this update."
Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Can someone tell me what's wrong?
Nothing. Mac OS X 10.4.11 is the eleventh update to Mac OS X 10.4, while Mac OS X 10.4.2 is only the second. The numbers in a portion of the version number are supposed to be read as an unit instead of separate ones.

Can't update from OSX 10.8 to OSX 10.8.2

I just bought a new MacBook Pro 13 inch display with 500GB HDD and 4 GB RAM. The unit shipped with OSX 10.8. In my SW updates, I'm trying to update iPhoto, but it says it requries OSX 10.8.2. However, 10.8.2 does not show up in my "updates" in the App Store, and if I try to buy it in the App Store, it says I already have Mountain Lion. I assume the upgrade from 10.8 to 10.8.2 is free, so why does 10.8.2 not show up in my app store? How can I upgrade to 10.8.2?

I'm not sure why it is not showing up, but you can download the update from here:

Can I update from osx 10.4.11 to snow leopard?

I have a mac book pro with OSX 10.4.11 and would like to upgrade it to OSX Snow Leopard. Can I simply proceed or is there an in between update necessary? Thanks.

Purchase a Snow Leopard DVD with which you can upgrade your current system. Before upgrading do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) 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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
If all is OK then continue with the installation of Snow Leopard.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.

TA48312 How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?

How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?
I have osx 10.3.x and i want to update to the highest possible. Please help!!!!! i cant find the download. And i dont want to lose any data!!

Depending upon the specific model you have you can upgrade to either 10.4.x or 10.5.x. Neither are available from Apple any longer, so you will need to look to eBay or Amazon for copies. Be sure to only purchase retail copies and not gray labled machine-specific copies.
If your eMac came with 10.3 originally and has a clock speed of 1 GHz or higher, then you can install Leopard, 10.5.x.
If you don't want to lose data then make backups.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:

OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:

and in the UK:

but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
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 at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:

You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (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:

HT201364 I would like to update from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 but...

I would like to update from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 but the store says I can not
run Mavericks on my computer. Why is that? My hardware specs are:
Model Name:          Mac Pro
Model Identifier:          MacPro1,1
Processor Name:          Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed:          3 GHz
Number of Processors:          2
Total Number of Cores:          4
L2 Cache (per Processor):          4 MB
Memory:          4 GB
Bus Speed:          1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version (system):          1.7f10
And over 700Gb of disc space.
Is this machine really too old to run Mavericks? Yes, I would dearly like to purchase a -new- MacPro, and I probably will soon, but this "old" machine still has a lot of life in it and upgrading to 10.9 would make it that much nicer when I give it to my niece.

Kappy> not capable of booting a 64-bit kernel or running 64-bit extensions.
Huh? My MacPro has two 64bit Xeon processors!!
jayv> I don't think it's the Xeon as it is 64-bit.
Yes, thank you! :-)
jayv> Apple does not explain why it has set these specific limits as minimum requirements.
I'll say. That is probably why my previous post which questioned possible "marketing" decisions has been removed from this discussion.
So now I have a museum piece that can go up on eBay in another 30 years. Nice.
Thank you all for the rapid replies!

After updating from OSX 10.5 to 10.6 clicking on new links in firefox make the snapshot sound but no picture is taken

I updated from OSX leopard to snow leopard. When clicking on links to open new tabs or windows firefox seems to be activing a certain sound. The sound is exactly like the one used to indicate a snap shot of the screen has been taken. But as far as I can tell no picture is being taken, only that sound is being produced with every new tab or window generated by clicking on links. The sound is very annoying.

Disabling all ad-ons seems to get rid of the issue. After enabling the ad-ons one by one, the only one left to be enabled is iPhotoPhotocast 7.0. I believe this was causing the issue.

HT1338 how do I update from OSX 10.5.8 to current OSX

How do I update from OSX 10.5.8 to the current OSX on my MacBook. I'm having all kinds of issues becuase I can't update to the newest iTunes and my iPhone4s apps stopped downloading and all the message boards are telllinging me I need to use iExplorer which I don't have because I have an older OS.

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:

What happen to window partition when i updated from OSX 10.6 to 10.7?

what happens to boot camp and windows 7 partition when i updated from OSX 10.6 to 10.7?

When you install 10.7 or later, a Recovery HD partition is created taking a small part of the bottom portion of the BootCamp partition so it will be slightly smaller.
However upgrades can go bad and you need to backup regardless.
Most commonly used backup methods
If you can only upgrade to 10.7 on that machine and can't go to 10.8, then really it's almost a wasted effort really.
You should know your PPC based programs that are running under 10.6's "Rosetta" are NOT going to work if you upgrade to 10.7 or later.
Be prepared to buy all new programs.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also there is a performance issue especially after you software update 10.7 to the lastest version, it's more defined on older machines.
If it's not a Early 2011 or later, I would stick with 10.6.8 on it as it has about 30% version share, almost the same as 10.7 has. Apple is paying attention to Snow Leopard, recent security updates have been issued.

how can i upgrade from osx 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 or later

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
(However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
Good luck & happy computing!

Software update does not work when I try to update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7. How do I update?

How do you update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7? Software update app does not perform update.

That's because 10.7 is not an update, it is an upgrade that you have to buy by using the App Store app, not by using the Software Update.
It costs $19.95: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

Can I update from a 10.6.8 to a 10.7 on my MacPro?

can I update from a 10.6.8 to a 10.7 on my MacPro?

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

HT6114 can i update from os 10.4.11 easily?

can i update from os 10.4.11 easily?

What Mac have you got and its specification? I take it you mean OS X not IOS?
Are the applications you use compatible with Mavericks or are they upgradeable (at perhaps a cost)?
Are your peripherals compatible with Mavericks?
You will need to do some research and at least check the above, I think you may find it difficult to upgrade easily or at all from 10.4.11 but it depends on the questions I have put and perhaps some more?
Post the details of your Mac and its spec and we can start from there.
