Will I be able to upgrade from Lion to Mavericks?

First, I know my machine will handle Mavericks, that's not my question. What I want to know is:
If I have Lion now, will I be able to upgrade from Lion to Mavericks for the Mavericks price quoted, or will I have to upgrade to Mt. Lion and then Mavericks? I was going to upgrade to Mt. Lion right about now, but don't want to pay for two upgrades within 3 or 4 months if I don't have to.

If everything goes like in Mountain Lion, you should be able to upgrade to Mavericks from any OS X version with the App Store: Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion, always that your MacBook Pro is supported, thing that we don't know yet until Apple releases the requirements. Note that this may change with the final version

Will I be able to upgrade from iphone 4s to iphone 6 for $200?

My contract will be over in November. I want to know if I would be able to upgrade to iphone 6. Also if it would be $200, $700, higher or lower.

What is the "iPhone 6"? That has not been announced. No dates and/or prices. Now one here would have any information on that.
As to phone upgrades via your carrier, you would have to talk to your carrier about that. Apple is not a carrier and does not establish upgrade eligibility requirements.

Will I be able to upgrade from 10.6.8 directly to Mavericks or install Mountain Lion first?

I'm guessing no, but it would be nice to get official word Apple. I'd rather not deal with installing Mountain Lion unless I have to.

10.6.8 to 10.9 Upgrade Advice
There is a good chance one can directly go from 10.6.8 to 10.9 like occurred with 10.6.8 to 10.8, skipping OS X versions in the process. We don't know for sure until it's released, it makes logical sense though.
OS X versions 10.7+ do not run PPC based software your currently using Rosetta under 10.6
So you need to first check for compatibility of your third party software before any OS X upgrade.
If it won't run with 10.7 or 10.8, it likely won't with 10.9
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If your ok with your third party software requiring upgrades or replacements, then your good to go.
Next you will have to check the RAM and hardware requirements to make sure your machine is compatible with the upgraded OS X version, usually err a lot more than the minimal specifications Apple provides. Apple might provide the minimal hardware specifications, however it might not be ideal in performance, especially on nearly full boot hard drives.
I very HIGHLY recommend before one upgrades is to backup up their entire system using TimeMachine and/a bootable clone (ideal as you can easily revert) or TimeMachine + a copy of users files on a regular external drive then disconnect all drives before updating.
Have two copies of your data off the machine in case you need to do a erase and install of 10.9 to fix other issues with your machine. TimeMachine might have gotten corrupted unawares and refuse to restore and it would be on the older OS X version. So your extra copy of just users files on a regular drive or bootable clone is going to save your bacon.
Prevention is worth a ton of cure. Most commonly used backup methods
Warning! If one connects a TimeMachine drive to a upgraded OS X system, because of the huge changes of the boot drive, it's likely going to cause a huge change to TimeMachine as it's a rotational backup system, it doesn't archive users files so older ones will be deleted.
If you have been storing older files on TimeMachine thinking you can restore them, then you need to make sure to save them off the TimeMachine drive on a external drive before upgrading OS X or making any substantial changes to your boot drive.
I also highly advise that if your machine has a boot hard drive (not a SSD), to reduce users files off the drive to bare minimal, they can be returned after upgrading. This has a effect of the new OS X version being written to faster portions of the boot drive instead of the slower ones with a full boot drive, also less defragmention occurs. Hopefully this will avoid a lot of the "I've upgraded and my machine is now slow problems"
If you have a SSD is to make sure you have about 75% of the SSD free space by reducing users files.
Regardless of a SSD or maximum RAM, after upgrading OS X on older machines it might appear slower than before, it's because newer OS X versions are more feature rich and tailored to newer machines with more RAM, faster processors and graphics capability. This is normal and to be expected for instance the OS X Lions really work better with 4GB of RAM or more, despite Apple saying 2GB is the minimal.
At this time we don't know exactly what minimal hardware will work best with the new OS X version or how to advise if certain machines are better off on the older OS X 10.6.8. However in my opinion it seems Early 2011 laptops and later with SSD's seem to go better with the newer OS X versions of 10.7 and later.
It doesn't mean yours won't work, it's just that it would be better with these later models than on earlier ones.
If your not computer savvy, there is nothing wrong in waiting until the problems of a new OS X upgrade be resolved before making your leap.
I also suggest one makes sure there are no other "problems" with their machine before upgrading as it very well come to light and leave you angry and confused on what to do.
Again, a ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure.

If I currently purchase OS X Snow Leopard will I be able to upgrade to OS X Lion for free?

I am currently updating my software from Leopard to Snow Leopard, since Lion is coming out in less than a month or so will I be able to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion for free. I saw somewhere on apple.com if I purchase a new mac that you are eligable for a free upgrade, but is it the same if I purchase just the software brand new?

No. See the announcement:
Lion Up-To-Date upgrade
"The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request." See below:
OS X Lion - Get up to date
It does not say you get it for free if you buy Snow Leopard. You have to purchase a new Mac computer.

HT4972 I have an iPad-3, 16 GB with WIFI. Will I be able to ugrade from the iOS5 to the new iOS 6?

I have an iPad-3, 16GB with wifi. Will I be able to upgrade from iOS5.1.1 to iOS 6 Can I change from wifi to subscription?
Thanks a bunch
Ron685

Can I change from wifi to subscription?
What do you mean by subscription? If you mean 3/4G with GPS, then no. The iPad hardware can't be upgraded.
iOS 6 will not be available until Oct-Nov 2012.

I need to upgrade Snow Leopard to get icloud before my mobileme expires at the end of June. If I buy Lion, will I be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion free when it comes out? When is MLion going to be released in UK?

I am running Snow Leopard and have a Mobile Me account. My Mobile Me account expires at the end of June. I have been told that I will need to buy the Lion upgrade to run icloud on my imac, but I am aware that Lion is due to be replaced by Mountain Lion this summer. I don't want to have to buy two up grades! Will Mountain Lion be released before my mobile me account expires? If not and I buy the Lion upgrade, will I be able to upgrade it to Mountain Lion, free, in view of the fact that I will only have had Lion for a very short time and could not avoid this purchase??????

HI...
We have no way of knowing exactly when Mountain Lion will be released. Most likely, if you upgrade to Lion now you'll be able to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but the actual minimum requirements are unknown at this time.
Lion is only $29.99 plus any applicable taxes and fees and available from the App Store, or you can purchase the thumb drive > OS X Lion USB Thumb Drive - Apple Store
Make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Apple - OS X Lion - Technical specifications

I just ordered a macbook mc207ll/a online that is running Sow leopard, will I be able to upgrade to yosemite?

Just make sure you update it to 10.6.8 (the last version of Snow Leopard) once you get it if it isn't running it already. Just go to the  menu and then Software Update. This will give you access to the App Store which is needed to download Yosemite.

Bought a new HDD, but did not come up with OSX Lion. Will I be able to upgrade it for free?

So my HDD in my iMac had a failure, and so I brought it to Apple's Repair Center.
The technician suggested me to buy a new HDD, and so I did.
However it does not come up in OSX Lion.
Will I be able to upgrade it for free?
There's an online upgrade in the apple website, but when I submit the request, it did not recognize the serial number.

Sorry, no.
Customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac Computeror an Apple Certified Refurbished computer from the Apple Online Store on or after July 21, 2011 that does not include OS X Lion can upgrade to OS X Lion for free.

You can upgrade the iOS with no problems. Since the new iOS will be out in fall, this could be a long time without an ipod as well

Will I be able to upgrade ever again without being forced onto a Share Everything plan?

I just got off the phone with customer service and I'm seriously hoping they were wrong about the upcoming changes. I currently have a family plan with 4 smartphones, and have determined that the new plans will increase my bill by about $50 a month, for less data. I am not interested in the new plans at all, and feel they are a huge insult to all but a small portion of the customer base (but I digress, that's not my question).
Anyway, after trying to convince me that I'd be getting a better deal by increasing my monthly bill by $50 (seriously) they told me that ANY upgrade performed after 6/28 would force my entire account (all 4 lines) onto the new plan. This is not a question of unlimited data vs capped data. My question is: will we be able to upgrade lines and at least keep the 2GB $30 plan in the future? If anyone can provide any details on this question I would greatly appreciate it.

I have an unlimited data plan on my account. Do I need to change it?
You're not required to move to Share Everything but if you do, unlimited data will not be retained on your line. As a Verizon Wireless customer you have choices when you upgrade at discounted pricing. You can choose from a standalone data package starting at $30 for 2GB or a Share Everything Plan. If keeping unlimited is important to you, you can choose to upgrade and pay full retail price for the phone.

Will I be able to upgrade my standard Destiny edition to the limited edition?

Will I be able to upgrade my current pre-order of the standard Destiny game to the limited edition? If so, how will I be able to do this? And when will the limited edition be available as other retailers have had it available since 07/07/2014? Thank you

Hi korenchkin,
Thanks for pre-ordering Destiny at Best Buy! It’s no surprise that with the recent announcement of the Limited Edition versions, there’d be questions around upgrading your current pre-order from the standard edition.
If you’re wanting to pre-order one of the Limited Editions of Destiny, your current pre-order would need to be cancelled as we don’t have the ability to upgrade your current pre-order. The way in which you would cancel your current pre-order depends on where it was purchased. If you made the purchase in-store, you’d want to bring your original receipt back into the store and speak with customer service. If you placed the pre-order on BestBuy.com, you’ll want to start by logging in to your account and locating your current order. Once you’ve located and opened the order, you should see a box next to the item that says “Cancel Item.” Check that box and then click the “Cancel Selected Item” button a bit lower on the page.
Once completed, please keep an eye on our main thread for Destiny, as we’ll be updating it the moment we receive more information around the availability of the Limited Editions.
Thanks for posting, and please let us know if you have any other question!

If I buy FCPX 10.0.5 will I be able to upgrade to 10.0.6 for free when it comes out?

If I buy FCPX 10.0.5 will I be able to upgrade to 10.0.6 for free when it comes out? I know 10.0.6 comes out sometime this month or soon....

I guess you already know the answer to this but yes, you can upgrade for free!!! But there are some issues with 10.0.6 you need to be aware of. Read the associated issues before you upgrade. It may not affect you if you don't already have a bunch of rendered projects though. Good luck!

Hi folks, will I be able to upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) Model Identifier 3,1 and if yes how? Thanks
