Hi! how can i update or upgrade my mac 10.5.8

how to update or update my mac 10.5.8 ?please

You would have to start by upgrading to Snow Leopard, which you can purchase from the Online Apple Store. Check that your Mac meets the requirements before purchasing (basically an Intel processor and minimum 1GB RAM).
Then use Software Update to bring it up to 10.6.8 so that you have access to the Mac App Store (in Applications).
If you Mac can handle Yosemite you can download it for free from the Mac App Store. If it can't you may be able to go to Lion, which is available for purchase in the Online Apple Store.
Note that if you upgrade beyond Snow Leopard, PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run.
The requirements for Lion are:
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
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
  and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • How can I update iWork using the Mac app store?

    I bought iWork on DVD but would like to get the updates via the Mac app store. How can I do that?

    HI Judy...
    You can only update software from the Mac App Store if the that is where it was purchsed and downloaded from.
    Since you installed from the DVD, your updates should be available from your Apple menu > Software Update.

    You have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first or to perform a clean install of Lion after erasing the hard drive prior to the installation.
    NO OTHER WAY'S ....

    There are no specific updates for Lion or Mountain Lion. The Office updates are for all OS's.
    Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads
    Then, click on the version of Office that you have. It will list the updates that are available.
    Also click on Additional Tools. Download and install the update for Auto Updater.
    Note that Microsoft's updates for Office are usually not cumulative, so you must install them all in order.
    The Auto Update app will find the ones you need and install them.
    From any Office App, go to the Help menu and select "Check for Updates." It will open the AutoUpdater.
    The current version is in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0

  • I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade

    I currently have Leopard, and there are no longer updates for it. So I must upgrade to either Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion. Without doing so I cannot update my itunes, and my ipod is no longer compatile with my mac. How can I buy the upgrade, since I do not have access to the mac store as that comes with Snow Leopard? I went to Best Buy and they said neither Snow Leopard or Mountain Lion can be bought there.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • HT5654 Can you update or upgrade from a 2cd gen to a 3 or 4 gen? If so how?

    Can you update or upgrade a 2cd gen ipod touch to a 3rd or 4th gen? If so how?

    Sell it and put the money towards a newer model. If it's in working order, you're far better off selling it to someone other than Apple than using Apple's recycling program.
