Can't update to 10.6.2 on Snow Leopard

Hi,
I'm currently running 10.6.0. As I wanted to install the latest iPhone SDK 4 I got the error that I have to update to 10.6.2 before. So I run the software update application, but it says that I'm already using the latest software.

On your  menu choose "About this Mac" > Version
what version is it showing?

Not if you have a PPC machine. In that case your are at the limit. But if you have an Intel model:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
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.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later

HT4363 my macbook pro has 10.5.8 -can't update to 10.6-which is snow leopard i guess?? anyway of doing this without spending more money..just bought apple tv , got 2 ipads and 2 iphones?? an old mac book pro is stopping my ability to homeshare

I just bought apple tv......trying to use homeshare-computer won't cooperate.....have 2 i pads, 2 iphones and can not get my macbook pro-(10.5.8) to update to snow leopard (10.6) which is what seems will make homesharing work between all these apple products. It looks like I have to buy some software to update the computer. Anyone else have this issue or suggestions or even know what I am talking about?? try to update software to snow leopard and it won't allow me to...this is an old macbook pro but I paid almost $3000 for this computer a long time ago...find it hard to believe that I can't update without spending a million dollars??? thanks. Mary

Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm not entirely sure I follow you here, home sharing comes with iTunes 10.2, so far as I am aware even iTunes 10.6.1 only requires OS X 10.5.8 or better. On that basis I'm not sure why you think you have a problem.

Can't update quicktime or java I have snow leopard

I have a mac mini intel box with snow leopard (used to be leopard). I recently changed from opera to firefox and the plug in checker is complaining about having a outdated version of quicktime and java. I did software update and it says no new software available. I have quicktime 7.5 I guess-whatever came with the lion os update cd disc. Going to sun for java I find they don't support anything older than lion. Must I now buy lion just to stay secure ?. I can't afford a new mac. And don't want to have to rebuy all my programmes again and lose my files. Maybe lion will let me keep my programmes and files like snow leopard did.
Is the plug in checker just being incorrect? I disabled java for the time being. But I can't remove quicktime. I use it a lot. I have a intel core 2 duo processor and 1.5 gig of ram. I guess I could up it to 4 gig if I had to "upgrade" os yet again. There's nothing that really interests me in Lion or Mavericks but I don't want security issues--I'll just try to disable the silly gingerbread in the new os's if possible. I don't use social media, or stream to a tv or media box. And I'm to poor to own a smart phone or ipod or ipad. My computer is my tv. I don't want my internet connection to slow down due to stuff I never use connecting to the internet in the background.

You would need to upgrade OS X:

How can I update to Java 7 jdk on snow leopard?

I am ready to scream at this point. I have a mini mac with snow leopard 10.6.5 installed. It has java version 1.6u22 INSTALLED. I would like to install version 7 of the jdk but I have searched the web for hours now, looking to see if I can do this and I cant see how to. I dont understand why??? If I was running ubuntu, I dont think I would have this issue ot even windows. Now that saying something.
Hope you can help.

The short answer is that you can't. Apple supported Java directly up to Java SE 6. They have now stopped supporting Java and begun to support the Open Source Java.net technologies project (which is basically the FOSS spin-off of Oracle for Java).
The Java.net current version of Java SE 7 is available for distribution via Oracle (and developer previews are available from Java.net). However, it requires OS X 10.7.2 or higher.
I'm not sure if you can update your current version of Java SE 6 to the latest version if you update the OS to 10.6.8 (although I suspect that you can), but there is no path to reach Java SE 7 outside of an OS upgrade that I know of.
Cheers.

Can't update Safari 5.1.10 for Snow Leopard

On several websites it says that I need to update my browser. When I click the links, they take me to the Apple website and all it does is tell me to download the regular version of Safari 5.1.10 NOT THE UPDATE. There are several sites I need to use, that I can't. Any suggestions?

You need to upgrade the computer’s OS or switch browsers. To upgrade, 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.

Can't update macbook 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3

Instalation stops just after it starts. Is there any ideas what to do? I have tried everything that I could find in forums but still does not want to upgrade. It spins and after couple of tries it ejects itself.

Ok, just got off the phone. So far it seems that I was able to to get it working (As soon as I typed that, My screen saver turned on, and I though my computer failed again. Ahh!)
Anyway, What they had me do was this:
-Turn off computer.
-Turn on computer, and hold down the 'Option' key.
-Keep holding until you see the Icon of your drive.
-Insert disk.
-A CD icon should pop up. Click it and press enter(return) on your keyboard.
It should then Turn the screen white with the apple logo, blue, and then bring you to the installing menu. The woman at tech support said that a language section should pop up, but it didn't for me. We assumed that it just read the settings from my old OS. It should then start the download. So far I'm more than halfway done with the download, farther than I have gotten before, so thats a plus.
Hope that helps!

Download 9.1 and 9.2.3 updates and install them

My iMac won't let me update to OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.

My iMac won't let me update to OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard. It's year of manufacture is 2007 and when I try to install Snow Leopard it now says that it cannot be upgraded on the iMac. Normally it wouldn't bother me but Chrome and Firefox no longer support 10.5! Do I need a new Mac?

Are you using gray system disks from another mac? Normally that message means you're trying, for example, to use disks delivered with a MacBook to install on an iMac. The system disks are locked to the systems they are delivered with and can't be used on other mac hardware.
If that's the case here, call the online Apple store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE, and order a retail copy of Snow Leopard 10.6.

I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

Can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard

I can't open any excel files after installing Snow Leopard. Is anyone else having this problem?
I have a standard iWork '08 install. Has anyone experienced? And better yet, know of a fix?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Most users who have had a problem opening Office files with the iWork apps after upgrading to Snow Leopard have the problem fixed by updating to the latest versions. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

did Yamaha/Apogee ever work out the problem that you couldn't use mLAN drivers for the XS (it's not really mLAN, it's "based on" right?) and Apogee drivers at the same time?
I think Yamaha has updated their drivers twice since you and I last exchanged ideas on this.
You've got killer hardware, and while I'm sure it's possible to set up an XS to send MTC and for Logic 8 to deal with correctly, it's just backwards of the way I use (almost) the same tools. My experience is the same, control Logic from the Motif, only it's so much more than just stop/start, and locate. Your XS is made to be a remote controller for Logic, sliders, transport controls, even the info for tracks and plug-ins (in Logic!) show up on your XS display and you can do plenty without touching the keyboard or mouse... Besides the sound of the Motifs, they're just great at doing this kind of stuff too... I personally wouldn't consider anything else...
I don't want to send you down a path that won't work if the two vendors in question haven't solved this yet, but... I want to help you but deep inside I think you're approaching your top-of-the-line gear backwards...
of course, if this is still a vendor incompatibility thing... then you have no choice.
pages 839 (the graphic is on page 838) of the Logic user manual under "listen to MMC input" describes what you need to set in Logic 8 to make this work. Since I don't have an XS, I can't point you to the correct pages for that.
I really hope you can get this to work.
