Help getting from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8

I am running 10.5.8 on a Mac Pro. Last year I purchased 10.6.3 Snow Leopard. Still havent installed it.. Now need to get to 10.6.8 to be compatable with software. What is my most efficient route going from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 or higher?
* Do I install 10.6.3 > then 10.6.8 > then 10.7?
* Or can I install straight from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8?
and is 10.6.8 even still available for purchase?
thank you

You can try the combo update to save time.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

If you are not sure of what you are doing,If you are worried about losing anything when doing a major systems upgrade/update,
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Older version of CarbonCopyCloner found here.

Older versions of SuperDuper can be found on the SuperDuper Website and Homepage.

Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.

Help getting from window back to mac

cant get out of the windows i run on my mac for scool did this one time befor and cant remember how to get back to mac

Reboot your MacBook. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Disks shows up. Choose your Mac hard drive (click on it and then the arrow below it.) When you are in your Mac OS go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and click on your MacBook hard drive. After that you should start up in Mac OS.
You can use the Option key trick to switch back to Windows.

HT203167 I look at my history of purchases including my songs and ringtones from iTunes. They are all there but my ringtones say I have to purchase them again in order to put them on my new iPhone that I just purchased from Rogers. I need help getting my

I'm trying to get my ringtones that i purchased on my old iPhone onto my new one that I just got. They r in my history and when I click on them it says you have already purchased them, would you like to buy them again in order to download them. I did it with one already and I now need help so I don't have to buy them again. Can u help get them back please

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. If you don't have them on your computer nor on a backup then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

You're referring to the answer I provided here -- http://forums.adobe.com/message/5352087#5352087
I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but I'll give it a try.
To get to the page where you make the "always deny" setting change, simply click on this link: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
After the page comes up, you can do the following:
If all you want to do is deny sites from storing Flash content/information on your PC, then you're done. Simply exit the page by clicking on your home page, then close out the browser. When you re-open it, the new setting will be applied.
If you want to allow sites to store Flash information or cookies on your PC, do the following:

I have over 40 itunes purchases all all play back fine. But my last purchase Ip Man2 keeps freezing on play back and I know it"s not y PC, get no helpful response from apple, what can I do to get a refund on that purchase or a better copy.

I have over 40 Itunes purchases and they all play back fine, But my last purchase Ip Man2 keeps freezing on play, I know it's not my PC because all my other itunes movies play fine, wasn't able to get a helpful response from APPLE, How can I get a refund on that purchase or a better copy.

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

Need help getting contacts from outlook 2010

I need help getting my contacts from outlook 2010 to icloud and/or my iphone. I have icloud up and logged in on pc. when I go to a contact to import it says there was a problem reading the vcard. any help is welcomed.

I do have the latest version of DTM and working with OUTLOOK 2000. I know it is old, but it still does what I need it to. I did try to uninstalland reinstall. No luck. The only options listed to sync are yahoo, outlook express, and ASCII inport/export. Obviously it is not syncing my other data either, but it is my contacts that I am most concerned with at this point. The calader would be nice too! Any other suggestions, or is my outlook too old to sync?

I need help getting my contacts transferred from my old iphone to my new one

Either backup the contacts in iCloud or with a compatible programme on your computer (Outlook, Windows Contacts, Address Book etc).
Once done, sync the contacts to your new iPhone from that programme/iCloud.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Need help restoring from a SilverKeeper .sparseimage file

Before upgrading a MacBook from Leopard to Snow Leopard I used SilverKeeper to backup the hard drive, sending the data to a .sparseimage file. I'm now trying to restore - or expand/extract - the .sparseimage file to an external hard drive so I can move my documents and files to the freshly-installed OS. I've tried creating a Restore Set in SilverKeeper, setting the Destination as the .sparseimage backup file and the Source as the external hard drive mount, but this operation just results in a copy of the .sparseimage file being created in a new folder on the external drive; the files saved in the original backup are not extracted to the external drive. I'm trying this process because even though mounting the .sparseimage backup in OSX will allow me to browse the file system, the files in the user folder are not visible (and they're not just hidden). And this despite the fact that the original backup operation completed successfully and created a sparseimage file of 122GB - the same size as the used space on the original drive. Any help getting the files back out of this .sparseimage file would be tremendous. Thanks!

Thanks for the thoughts, Kappy. I have contacted LaCie as well; just waiting to hear back. <fingers crossed> Since it doesn't directly bring LaCie any revenue, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask around here as well since I got it from Apple: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/silverkeeper.html
For some reason when you do a restore set with SilverKeeper the destination has to be the location of your (previous) backup, and the source has to be the location you want to send the restore to. Believe me, it doesn't make much sense to me either; I guess the idea is that you're sending a previous backup back to the source.
As I mentioned, I can mount the image and browse it in Finder, but I can't access the files I need. I did get an 'alias not found' message (or something like that) at one point but am not seeing that at the moment. As far as I know the file is not encrypted; at least I haven't been prompted for a key/password.
I didn't have access to a big enough spare drive at the time I was making this backup and so had to resort to creating an image file that I could send to a network share. I probably will pass on SilverKeeper in the future, but it seemed like a good bet at the time...

I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

TS4268 I need help getting my face time and imessage to work.

I need help getting my face time and imessage to work. It is saying wating for activation. I just got my iphone 5 2 days ago. I have reset it from the phone and from itunes on the computer, made sure I'm attached to wifi.

The 3 basic troubleshooting steps are these in order: 1. Restart your iphone 2. Reset your settings/iphone 3. Restore your iphone. Since your iphone is only a couple of days old, you should backup your device before restoring. If you don't have anything on your iphone that you care to lose, then simply restoring without a backup is fine. A quick reset of pressing the sleep/wake button (top of iphone) and your home button simultaneously and holding it until the silver Apple logo appears.

How can I determine how much time I'm actually getting from 1 charge?

Lol, I know this question may sound dumb (and I'm pretty sure I'm not )
....but I couldn't think of any other way to word it. I know that the battery meter displays the projected remaining time, but that is constantly fluctuation, and it's not what I'm looking for. I'm wondering if there's some sort of application that can take record or notes of x time I'm getting from x battery. Perhaps a way to track the average usage per charge or something like that? Anyone know of any?

As far as I remember it's not possible. Thus, find attached VI and use it to convert line/column to excel cell format. It's working if you are not using more than 26 columns (i.e. column AA, AB, ... if this is the case you have to improve it a little)
Hope this helps
