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?

  • 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.

  • How can I upgrade to Maverick from 10.6.8? I cannot seem to find it in the Apple Store.

    How can I upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8? I cannot find in in the Apple Store. Thanks.

    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.

  • Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. How can I retrieve my photos without buying iPhoto?

    Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto library in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. Why would apple install iPhoto by default with Snow Leapord and make us import all our photos in it at the first place, and now ask for money if we want to retrieve our photos back on mountain lion? What if they make contacts a paid app with the next OS upgrade, and then bully us to pay money if we want our contacts? This is something very dissappointing on Apple's part. I need answers here.

    I fail to remember if the installer gave me an option to keep my applications.
    The Mountain Lion installer will not delete applications. It will only mark applications, that are not compatible with your current system with a "forbidden" sign in the icon. And you cannot launch them.
    Does your iPhoto icon in the Applications folder look like this?
    Then your iPhoto version is incompatible and cannot run with Mt. Lion. If it is iPhoto '11, with a versionnumber starting with 9.x.x., you can upgrade it by downloading a newer version from the Apple downloads site  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650.
    But if you have 8.x.x, you need to buy an upgrade.

  • Download older Version of Mountain Lion from App Store

    Hi,
    Since i have lot's of problems with 10.8.5 i wanted to know if there is a way to download an older Version of Mountain Lion from the App Store?
    I tried yesterday but it auto downloaded version 10.8.5. I tried to backup from time machine but this screwed up things completely...

    ...is a way to download an older Version of Mountain Lion from the App Store?
    Nope, your stuck with it breaking things or being buggy, no way to revert to a earlier verison.
    If you made a bootable clone you could, simply hold the option key and boot off the clone and reverse clone 10.8.4 back on.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    So since you can't go back, you can attempt to fix in place, provided it's not a OS X bug that has to be fixed.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Your likely going to need to do #8 and restore OS X over itself, any third party software that doesn't work, check for a update or problems on the developers forums BEFORE reinstalling it or your problems will most likely return.

  • After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.

    After upgrade my MBP from snow leopard to mountain lion all my smb connections stop to work.
    Now iám using mac os 10.8.2
    I can see the server, I can choose the drive, but when try to open a folder the message on Finder is: You don't have permissions to see the content.
    I already delete the key and try to connect again, but the problem persist. Already try change the ip from file server. Already try differents users. (admin, guest, etc...)
    I have a windows server 2008 and a NAS working with SMB protocol. Both with the same problem.
    That problem occurs only on Finder, if I try see the folder by Terminal, is possible to see my files.
    Any Solution ?
    Any Tip ?
    Any Question ?

    Not knowing how much RAM is installed in your iMac, your iMac can take a total of 8 GBs of RAM.
    Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, I would strongly suggest installing the maximum 8 GBs of RAM.
    Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    Here is OWC's link to your model iMac and the RAM modules you will need.macsales
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/8566DDR3S8GP/
    You can purchase and download OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store in the OS X dock.
    Before installing, it would be prudent to make a backup copy of all of your important data or your entire current system. Either using, optical discs, USB flash drives or external hard drives.
    This is too insure protection of your data in case something goes wrong with the install of OS X Mountain Lion.
    Good Luck!

  • TS3276 can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

    can you have multiple exchange accounts in mail in mountain lion

    Just use IMAP for the accounts. I have 4 Exchange accounts in my Mail app and they are all set up that way. but yes, there can only be 1 Exchange account (which I believe has more to do with the Exchange API than Macs)
    hope this helps.

  • Can you revert back to an older version of I tunes?

    I have OS X 10.4 and tried to download the latest version of Itunes. Under system requirements, I thought it said you must have OSX 3.9 or later . . .so I downloaded it. Now when I try to open I tunes on my computer it says "you must have OS X 4.2 or later, for info an upgrading you operating system . . . " So my questions are, why did it let me down load I tunes 7.2 if my system did not meet the requirements and how do I get back to an older version? I have tried to download I tunes 6 but everytime I click to install it just says there is nothing to install. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Hi Lingar,
    I think Chris was looking for your specific update number of your OS X installation.
    In other words, mine (and Chris's) is 10.4.10. The ".10" after the "4" indicates which update to Mac OS X we have installed.
    Choose "About This Mac" from the Apple logo in the menu bar and see what it says next to Version.
    iTunes 7.3.2 current requirements:
    Macintosh Requirements
    * Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later or Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later required for iTunes
    * Mac OS X 10.4.10 or later required for iPhone
    * 500MHz G3 processor or better
    * QuickTime 6.5.2 or later
    * 256MB RAM
    * Combo/Super Drive to burn CDs
    * Broadband Internet connection (DSL/Cable/LAN) for buying and streaming
    music
    Additional Video Requirements
    * Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later
    * 1 GHz G4 processor or better
    * QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
    * 16MB video RAM
    As long as your OS is 10.4.7 or above, you meet the necessary OS requirements for iTunes 7.3.2.
    But as Chris suggested to another poster, it's probably a good idea to update your OS to the most current version. Download the 10.4.10 Combo updater from http://www.apple.com/support/downloadshttp://www.apple.com/support/downloads and install.
    It's also a good idea to repair permissions following the OS update.

  • Running LR3.3 - can I delete catalog previews from older versions?

    I've got three folders on my HD with names like Lightroom 2 catalog previews.lrdata, Lightroom 3 Catalog Previews -2.lrdata and Lightroom 3 Catalog Previews -3.lrdata ... are all three necessary or can I delete the first two (I'm assuming that Lightroom 3 Catalog Previews -2.lrdata is from the version previous to 3.3)?  Just trying to determine what's actually necessary to back up since my external drive's running out of space

    You can delete any of the previews folders you like with the understanding that LR will rebuild previews, again, for folders you visit in LR, which is less likely for older versions.
    You might also check your back folders and thin out (delete in Explorer/Finder) the older periodic backups to one each month or quarter or year instead of one each week the older they are.

  • Can you upgrade to photoshop from photoshop elements 11?

    Just wondering if I purchased a copy of photoshop elements 11, is there an upgrade available to the regular photoshop?
    Thanks!

    Thanks!
    Officially NO.  You can't upgrade to main Photoshop CS6 software unless you have already bought the previous versions of Photoshop (CS4, CS5, CS5.5).  Not sure what made you ask this question.  If you want to buy Photoshop CS6 then you could try Educational version but this only applies if you are in some form of education at a recognized School, College or University or you have children attending the education system.
    Also, if you are going to do lots of work in Photoshop then it is a good idea to buy the full product now so that future versions can be upgraded on a regular basis.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you run Hardware Test from older DVD?

    Hello,
    My mini2,1 came with OS 10.4. I have the two original system discs. SInce I bought it right before 10.5 was released, Apple sent me a single Leopard Upgrade disc. Does anyone know if the Apple Hardware Test is on the 10.5 upgrade disc? If it isn't, can I run the test from Disc 1 of the original 10.4 DVD's even though the mini is now running 10.5?
    Thanks in advance.

    Excellent. I found the hardware test on the original 10.4 OS X Install Disc 1. Glad to know that the test on the DVD is for my specific computer hardware, and that the current OS on that machine does not matter.This was not clear to me and I could not find an answer on Apple's help pages. And that explains why the hardware test isn't on the 10.5 upgrade DVD.
    Thanks BD and Niel.

  • Can you upgrade cloud storage from 20g

    Most of us get 20g storage with our plan. Is there a way to pay for and increase the storage?

    Thanks Rajshree,
    I assume the LR 5 storage is a different storage with also 20 gig I believe. I would assume you can not upgrade that either.
