How can I update mac 10.6.8 to Yosemite?

I have never update my macbook mac os and now i have to download the new version of itunes and i cannot open it because i have to update mac os, but i dont know to update mac os 10.6.8 to Yosemite

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

How can I update Mac 0S X 10.6.8 to 10.7

How can I update from Mac0S X 10.6.8 to 10.7

youwin,
you can order Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) from the online Apple store for your country; for example, if you’re in the USA, you can order it from here. Once you’ve received the content code for Lion via e-mail, you’ll be able to download the Lion installer through the Mac App Store, and running the Lion installer will update you from Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8) to Lion.
Note that you can update directly from Snow Leopard to either Lion, Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), or Mavericks (OS X 10.9); Mavericks is the only one of these three which is gratis.

HT4140 How can I update Mac OS X 10.5.8 into Mac OS X 10.6?

I have the software Mac OS X 10.5.8 right now but I need to update into a Mac OS X 10.6 in order to get the Mountain Lion... But I can't seem to be able to do it... Help?

If u have another mac and its 10.6.8 or higher u can do it easily
Purchase and download Lion from the Mac App Store (or use your up-to-date redemption code), and when the download is finished, the Mountain Lion installer will load. Quit the installer (press Command-Q) and go to the Application folder on your system.
Locate and right-click the Mountain Lion installer to show its contents (click for larger view).(Credit: Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET)If you have already installed Mountain Lion, the installer will have been automatically deleted from your system. In this case, you can go to the Purchases section of the App Store and redownload the installer.
Right-click the "Install Mac OS X Mountain Lion" application in the Applications folder, and choose "Show package contents."
In the new window that opens, go to the Contents > SharedSupport folder and locate the file called "InstallESD.dmg."
Open Disk Utility (in the Applications > Utilities folder) and drag the InstallESD.dmg image to the device sidebar, where it should appear under your various disk and volumes listings.
In Disk Utility select the InstallESD.dmg file, and then you can click the Burn icon in Disk Utility's toolbar to burn the image to a DVD (single-layer 4.7GB discs do not have enough space, so use dual-layer 8.5GB discs). If you wish to create a USB or FireWire install drive instead, then continue on to step 6.
Connect a spare USB or FireWire drive that has at least 6GB of capacity, which should show up in Disk Utility. Optionally partition it by selecting it and using the Partition tab to split it into two logical volumes (one for the Mountain Lion installer and the other for extra storage space) by clicking the plus button to create a new partition, and then setting the first partition to be 4.8GB in size.
Drag the destination drive to the Destination field, and drag the InstallESD.dmg image to the Source field.(Credit: Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET)Select the InstallESD.dmg file in Disk Utility and click the Restore tab that appears in the main Disk Utility window. When you do this you should see the disk image appear in the Source field, but if not then drag it there.
Drag your destination drive (the desired USB or FireWire drive volume) to the Destination field, and then click the Restore button. Confirm you would like to do this, and when complete you should have a fully bootable Mountain Lion installation drive.
This process should work as described but the restoration process could fail with an error. You can overcome this by first mounting the InstallESD.dmg file and then using the mounted volume as the Source for the restoration, instead of the disk image file itself.If restoring the InstallESD.dmg file directly does not work, then first mount it and restore the "Mac OS X Install ESD" volume that appears (click for larger view).(Credit: Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET)
To do this, first select the InstallESD.dmg file in the Disk Utility sidebar and click the Open button in the Disk Utility toolbar. When mounted, you will see a volume name appear called "Mac OS X Install ESD" underneath the image file. In the Restore tab in Disk Utility, drag this new volume to the Source field, and then repeat step 8 above to restore it to your drive of choice (special thanks to MacFixIt reader Michael A. for this tip).
When Disk Utility creates the drive in this manner, all files on it will be erased and replaced with the restored data; however, if you initially partitioned the drive (see step 6 above), then you can still use the drive's secondary volume for other purposes in addition to being a Mountain Lion install source.

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.

Hello, I Have a iMac 21.5 inch Mid 2011 running latest version it can (10.7.5) I have purchased 10.8.4 directly from the app store. How can I update the computer to it? Do I simply just double click on on it?

If the installer's on your computer, double-click it and follow the onscreen directions. If not, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID used to buy it, click on the Purchases tab, and download it.

Check your machine's actual specifications here.
It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here. Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition. This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it.

When i try to update software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

When i try to update the software for my 3rd Gen iPod Touch to version 5 i get the message 'This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version'. My Mac OS is 10.4.11. How can I update the iPod software?

The later iOSs requires at least OSX 10.5.8 for the Mac. You need iTunes 10.5 but 10.4.11 only goes to 9.x.. 10.5.8 is a paid upgrade.
Are you sure that you have a 3G iPod? If it is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1 (also requires 10.5.8 or later). A 32 GB can be either 2G or 3G. To identify yours:

How can i updated my mac mini 1st gen.

i am running a version 10.3.9 now how can i updated it

To reinforce what Niel said, you want the "RETAIL" version of the discs. Those are the discs with silver or white lettering on a black background. The discs with a silvery grey background are unique to a specific Mac computer model and highly unlikely to work on your mini. When buying on eBay, do not depend on the seller to know what they have or even that there is a difference. Question them closely and maybe even get them to send a color picture of the specific discs you will be buying.

If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6.

check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase the Snow Leopard Disc and Install it.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper http://www.shirt-pocket.com/

How can I update ati radeon hd 5750 1024 mb on my mac os lion 10.7.5

How can I update my grafic card Ati Radeon 5750 1024 mb ? I recently updated my Aerofly 5 sim software , which now does not work because ,so I am told , the grafic card has to be updated ! Thanks for any help .

You cannot change the graphics card, and Mac OS X 10.7.5 has the latest drivers available for your system. The system requirements for Aerofly state that they only support the 5770 of the 57xx series, not the 5750, so there may be nothing you can do, though you can ask in their forums and see if anyone there can offer a workaround.
Regards.
