Free update to Mac OS X 10.8 Server

I bought a Mac Mini today with Mac OS X 10.7.5 Server. I want to get a free upgrade to Mac OS X 10.8. I tried to do it, but the scanned checks can not be fixed, because he is in the format JPEG. What do I do?

I am also having similar trouble. I have mac OS X 10.7.5 and can't update to Mountain Lion 10.8. When i try to do so, only 10.8.2 is available. i try to download that and it says i need 10.8. I check under softwar update, and my computer tells me i am up to date at 10.7.5
it's driving me crazy. any thoughts anyone?

HT204266 I am trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. I have OS 10.5.1 and it says I need OS 10.6. Is that a free update or do I have to purchase a new OS? I just want to load music on to the playbook.

Trying to connect a blackberry playbook to the Mac. It says I need OS6. Is that a free update or do I have to buy a whole new operating system? Just want to download some music to the playbook. Also, is it possible to use a iTunes card directly to the playbook and bypass the Mac? Thanks for any info you can provide.

The Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD should still be available from Apple for $20. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775 to purchase it. It may still be in the Legacy Products list. The App Store which is required to download 10.7 or 10.8 is part of the 10.6.6 update.
If they no longer have any in stock you will have to buy it from eBay or Apple resellers that still have stock. But you will have to pay a premium since the DVDs are no longer being made. Snow Leopard DVDs are already up to $100 on Amazon.

IF UPDATES TO APPS THAT CAME WITH OUR MAC ARE FREE, WHY DOES APPLE REQUIRE BILLING INFORMATION TO BE COMPLETED IN THE SCREEN JUST BEFORE ACCESS TO INSTALLING FREE UPDATES???

It is necessary to confirm your identity as the 'buyer'. Please do not use all capital letters. It is not well regarded here and can be tricky to read for some. Thank you.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.

you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X. Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems. The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6. Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

I have recently bought my Mac mini ( July 12) and have already requested my free update code for mountain lion, got a reference nr, but I still haven't received a code via email to update? Its been 12 days. Any advice?

I am still in the return window but i really do not want to return my mac as i know it has the ability to do what i want, my problem is just finding the software that will work as i know there has been a lot of complications with OS X Mountain Lion with softwares that caim to be compatible but then later turn out not to be.
I have been a windows user for years and this is really my first mac but apart from the hole software issue i find the mac 10x better than any windows computer i have ever used. For example i bought a HP laptop 4 weeks ago and has nothing but problems. At first the fans stopped working and making weird noises and then it began switching off when ever it felt like it and freezing like mad when i was trying to access the smallest program. I have found that now a days you dont get what you pay for with Windows especially since Windows 8 was released. Also Laptops such as HP now are just crammed with cheap parts, they dont take pride in their systems like they once used to unlike Apple. I know i will get more than a year or 2 out my mac (hopefully a lot more) but with windows systems it just seems to break all the time costing more money on extending warrantys. Also i like mac because i dont need to send it away if i ever get a problem, i can just take it into the apple shop half a mile down the road and they will fix it in store. Where as with windows i am waiting 2 weeks+ to just hear back from them.

Depends on what Mac you have. If it is a PPC (G4 or G5) Mac then Leopard 10.5.8 is as far as you can go.
If it is an Intel Mac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:

(NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)

http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479

How to update from MAC OS X 10.5.8

I need to install iTunes11 but only have MAC OS X 10.5.8 software. All my software updates are current, so so not know what I should download...
Thoughts??

You will need to get Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard which is not a free upgrade. Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store, they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available.
Once you upgrade to 10.6, update to Mac OS X 10.6.8 and you can then install iTunes 11. You can from there also, if you wish and your computer supports it, purchase an upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Research carefully before you upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 to make sure you'll stil be able to use your applications and peripherals.
Regards.

It is never free to update to a new OS.

How to update from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Lion or all the way to Yosemite

I have a MacBok Pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8. How do I update to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion? Or if I go all the way to Yosemite, do I need to buy and download every Mac OS X between 10.6.8 and Yosemite? Are there any free (and legal) Mac OS X downloads between 10.6.8 and Yosemite?

You don't need to do any of the intervening versions but can go straight to Yosemite in the App Store.
This will of course prevent your Mac from executing any PowerPC code. So you should check to find out if you are using any apps coded for the PowerPC processor. If you have that it will need to be upgraded to a newer version coded for the Intel processor.

TS1394 How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6 and higher

How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6

I did not know OS upgrade had to be purchased since I have been updating for free up to this point.
Everything within a major point release for OS X is free. So moving from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8 for example would be free. 10.5.x to 10.6.x would not.
Apple does continue to confuse folks by giving major paid releases the same OS X name and just increasing the point number. Usually in the world of software, a point release is a larger, free update to fix programming issues. You would normally have expected paid releases to be OS X (10), OS XI (11), etc. Apple did this instead, each paid major release called OS X:
10.2 - Jaguar
10.3 - Panther
10.4 - Tiger
10.5 - Leopard
10.6 - Snow Leopard
10.7 - Lion
10.8 - Mountain Lion
