Free upgrade for mac OS x 10.5.8?

I have a MacBook 4,1. Are there any free upgrades so I can run the newest Flash and iTunes? It won't even sync with my iPhone 4s!

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 from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. 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.
     OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, 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.

It'd be really helpful it you told us what the upgrade is, which Mac you currently have, and what OS you're currently using. And you only need to say it once.

I downloaded the free upgrade for OS X Mavericks can you delete a download before installation ? i don't want it after reading reviews.

Yes, it's in your Applications folder and is called "Install OS X". Make sure to empty your trash afterwards to clear the space.

How to redeem a free upgrade for OS X Lion

I just buy a new macbook pro on 10 July, how can i redeem the free upgrade for OS X Lion?
As many people say, can redeem through Itunes, but when i click in the redeem at the Quick Link, it want me to enter my gift card or other iTunes Code.
What should i do with the code? Where can i get the code?

I just purchase MacBookPro 2011 Version (MC700). May I know how can I claim free upgrade for OS X Lion?
I note that you marked correct a response that seems to assume you just bought the machine and are interested in a free Mountain Lion update, but you state your machine is a 2011 model. I'm not sure whether that was a typo or there was a miscommunication, but it's important to understand that the Lion Up-to-Date program ended a while ago. If you are hoping to update to Lion for free, you've missed the boat on that one, and you definitely won't qualify for the Mountain Lion Up-to-Date program. If you want Lion, you'll need to buy it. If you wait a month, though, you can get Mountain Lion instead for $10 cheaper (Mountain Lion will only be $20, Lion is $30), and you can upgrade straight from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.

What is the best free antivirus for mac ox iBookG4?

Hi,what is the best free antivirus for mac ox iBookG4?

While no one may be bothering to write exploits in PPC code any longer, at least for Flash, that doesn't mean that there aren't any still floating around. The following doesn't specifically mention PPC/Intel, but that doesn't mean there weren't critical vulnerabilities being exploited for PPC in 10.1.102.64. I wouldn't want to take the chance.
Critical vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris. These vulnerabilities could cause the application to crash and could potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.
http://www.adobe.com/support/security/bulletins/apsb11-02.html
And, from TenFourFox
PowerPC plugins are unmaintained and insecure, and Mozilla is changing the plugin environment
No major plugin is being maintained for Power Macs any more: Flash stopped updates with Flash 10.1.102.64 in November 2010, and QuickTime 7 for the PowerPC was decommissioned with the release of QuickTime 7.7 and OS X Lion in August 2011. (Tiger users have not had an update since QT 7.6.4 in September 2009.)
Plugins have special access to the system. When they are instantiated by the browser, they run as if you were running any regular application, which is true even for out-of-process plugins (which were never available for 10.4Fx due to Tiger SDK limitations). Like any buggy or insecure application, they can be exploited or made to crash, and because the plugin runs within the browser, such methods can also be used to attack, spy upon or destabilize the browser as well. They have also been used to attack the network the computer is running on, and a well-crafted attack vector such as that example can run anywhere Flash does, including Power Macs. Because plugins load automatically by default when the page calls for them, your system could be exploited before you even notice.
Many of these attacks can be mitigated, though not entirely prevented, by the use of add-ons that can block plugins from loading. However, there is still another problem apart from security: Mozilla is changing the environment and the technical requirements for how plugins interact with the system. These technical requirements are difficult to achieve with Mac OS X 10.4, and there are known graphical and compatibility bugs already. It is entirely possible that in the near future, extant PPC-compatible plugins will not function properly or at all.

Skype upgrade for Mac 10.5.8 not working

[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Skype upgrade for Mac not working"]
Skype just left my 79 y.o. father wihtout SKYPE, he is running 10.5.8 becasuse it is good enough for him, he is used to it aafter years of using it.
You cant ask an older person to start searching forums etc.
They rely on the companies that make the products they trust.
I have helped him download and install Skype_6.3.0.604.dmg (we are 500 km away) but the program now says it is not supported.
I can tell my dad to modify the /etc/hosts file and the info.plist.
This is just ridiculous.
SKYPE: YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE THE CHANCE TO UPDATE TO A VERSION THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK!!!!

Not to sound fraternising, but the matter of fact is that nothing has been changed in tcp/ip, that is used by Skype. What has been changed is that Microsoft now manage the code, and with that comes the Microsoft way of doing things. If this includes complete lack of version control and software management, I suggest you do not change one thing.
What you do not explain and fail to mention is that features that used to work, does not work in your new versions, and the simplest way to get it to work is to remove everything that has been changed.
What has been changed is how the tcp/ip packets are sent on the Internet. The software that MS acquired used straight forward, standard tcp/ip with non-lingering sockets, which is the ITU-T variant of tcp/ip that is also the US FCC RFC. If Microsoft wants to implement Skype on Netbios, go ahead, but do not expect others to follow, and allow the rest of the world, including those that used to run Skype on Windows, to leave and find the attempt a complete waste of time, and the software utter worthless.
It is very well defined what Skype is expected to deliver of functionality, just now, it is to perform just as good as two years ago. If you cannot acheive this by Windows used on servers on the network, that is a change that removed functionality, and did not add anything. It is simple to get it back - drop the Windows relay servers. Microsoft cannot rewrite international standards - and do not tell us to endorse any attempt of that nature. It would be nice if the world was a cube, but all your effort in telling us that it is convenient does not change facts: it will be round as a bowling ball, and tcp/ip has to be fully standard, not one that keeps open long after the connection has been taken down to allow MS to implement IPX/SPX functionality in Skype. We are not interested, and nobody is, I doubt Mr. Nadella would endorse this had he known.

Can i get free upgrade version Mac OS 10.8.5

Can i get free upgrade version Mac OS 10.8.5

Are you wanting to upgrade TO 10.8.5 or FROM 10.8.5? If you have 10.8.5 on your Mac you can do the free upgrade to Yosemite which is 10.10.1 as long as your computer supports that version of OS X.
Start at this Apple site to determine if your MAC will run 10.10.1

Software upgrade for mac OS X 10.5.8

software upgrade for mac OS X 10.5.8

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
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, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Skype 6.3 upgrade for Mac not working

[Topic title updated by moderator to be more descriptive. Original topic title was: "Skype upgrade for Mac not working"]
BE WARNED - just because you are being asked to upgrade your Skype, it does not mean it will work on your machine. I am a fairly regular user of Skype and this morning was unable to log-in, being told that I needed to upgrade. I did so to 6.3.0.602 but I was unable to log-in once the software had downloaded. After some research on the forums and finally a text chat with Support, I was told that Skype 6.3.0.602 requires a Mac OSX of 10.9 or above - I have 10.5.8
"So what can I do", I asked the tech support. The answer is nothing (unless I get new OS X software) - there is no Skype software programme that supports my operating system and no timeframe for when it might be available.
Huh? That's right. It's just not available. So for now, users with less than OS X 10.9 will be unable to use Skype when they are instructed to upgrade. It really doesn't make sense. But just so you know....

Please look at the top of the community page, and you will find a box "Search:". Write your problem here "Upgrade not working" and see what crops up. Most likely you will be taken somewher like here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/quot-We-ve-signed-you-out-because-your-using-an-outdated-version/m...
Here you will read that the latest versions of Skype will not work on some of the versions of MacOS, and that PPC requires one version, Leopard another, Snow leopard another, Mountain Lion another. They are indoctrinated with a stamp in their forehead to enforce their congregation of true believers to install the latest with all "security fixes" or death is looming. They are not used to software that is 2 years old.
So, with Mac, we have different operating systems and different sets of libraries - and things may go belly up if you upgrade - a OS feature is done differently, a libary has been placed inside the OS, and is no longer needed - and if you try to use it, you will be trapped.
Install the latest version that works for your Mac, and make sure to freeze this. Update the "info.plist" file and tell Skype that you use their latest should they pry. As long as it works, do not change anything!
And make the change to stop Skype from checking every time you start.

Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5 upgrade for MAC

Trying to upgrade Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5 upgrade for MAC. After downloading the dmg file, I can't seem to install the program. I get an error message that states, "The following disk images couldn't be opened. Lightroom_5L511.dmg not recognized."
What do I need to do to be able to install the upgrade for Lightroom 5?
*note I just installed OSX 10.8.4

It's probably a corrupted download. Try re-downloading. If you're on a corporate network behind a proxy server, try finding reliable Internet ;-)

Are there online sites that have safe free games for mac? for downloading?

new to apple and just bought a mac. are there online sites that are safe for downloading free games for mac?

You have posted in the iMac(PPC) forum which is hardware that Apple stopped selling in early 2006. So unless the your new Mac is a very old one then you have probably posted in the wrong forum.
Please clarify which Mac you have?
Please tell us which verion of OS X your Mac is running?

Is LR CC a free upgrade for my Creative Cloud Photography Program?

Is LR CC a free upgrade for my Creative Cloud Photography Program?

This was suggested by user ssprengel in another thread and apparently worked:
"One thing to try is to sign out of the CC Manager app (CCMgr->Gear->Preferences->General->Account->Signout), reboot, and sign back in to CC Manager."
