How can I update my Mac from OS X 10.5.8 to OS X 10.7?

I am trying to update my kids Mac so that they can get I tunes to work on a brand new Ipod touch and I must have atleast OS X 10.7 to get the Itunes update - how do I do this??

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Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a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:

If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:

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.

HOW CAN I UPDATE MY MAC OS X 10.6.8 TO GET ICLOUD?

Open the Mac App Store and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, and if the computer has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB of RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

You can upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6 if your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

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.

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

Do you have a home network?
Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
Open System Preferences.
In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
In the Sharing pane, click Services.
In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
Click Connect.
In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

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.

Sorry, you can't. iOS 4.2.1 is the end of the line for an iPhone 3G, there are no further updates available. You'll have to purchase a new phone in order to run a higher iOS.

How can I update my Mac OS X 10.5.8 software?

Last Novemember I had bought myself the new nano, and I went home and hooked it up to my MacBook to sync it to my iTunes and saw that I was not able to do that because my software was not up-to-date. I spent all day on the apple web site trying to download all the software updates in order form olderst to newest, so I would be able to update my software new enough that it would be compatable to my nano. After the whole day of downloading I still wasn't able to make any process of updating my laptop at all. I need help.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
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 to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, 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.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 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 Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         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?

How can i update the observableList from the database at certain time intervals using threads?

i have a table UI and want it to be to be in sync with tabledata in the database... How can i go about it?

Use a ScheduledService.
The basic idea is
ScheduledService<ObservableList<MyTableDataType>> databasePollingService = new ScheduledService<ObservableList<MyTableDataType>>() {
@Override
public Task<ObservableList<MyTableDataType>> createTask() {
      return new Task<ObservableList<MyTableDataType>>() {
          @Override
            public ObservableList<MyTableDataType> call() throws Exception {
                // connect to database and return list of data....
databasePollingService.setPeriod(Duration.seconds(POLLING_TIME));;
TableView<MyTableDataType> table = new TableView<>();
// configure table etc....
table.itemsProperty().bind(databasePollingService.lastValueProperty());
databasePollingService.start();

How can I update cluster items from inside a while loop that does not contain the cluster?

I have a VI that contains front panel clusters and two while loops. The main cluster contains items such as a doubles "distance" and "stepsize" and boolean "step" (a whole buch of this type stuff). The first loop contains an event structure to detect front panel changes and the second contains code and sub VIs to perform operations based on detected events.
The operator can enter data into either double or click the boolean. If distance is changed the second loop does what is required to process the change. The same happens with stepsize. If step is clicked the ±stepsize value is added to distance and the result is processed. In each case the front panel should track the result of the input and subsequent processing.
Because the clusters are outside the while loop, they are not updated unless I click 'highlight execution' which seems to allow updating each time the execution highlight is updated. There are other issues if I move the clusters into one of the loops.
I've tried referencing the clusters and using local variables and nothing works. It looks like overkill to use shared variables for this.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Ben,
Thank you for the response. I followed the link and tried reading everything you posted on AEs but I'm afraid that I didn't understand it all. It seems that each AE example had a single input and a single output (e.g. a double). Is this the case?
What I have is a couple of front panel clusters containing (approximately) 18 control doubles, 8 indicator doubles, 5 boolean radio button constructs and 26 boolean control discretes. I clusterized it to make it readable. In addition I'll eventually have a cluster of task references for hardware handles.
All I want to do is update the front panel values like I would do in a C, VB or any other language. I've tried referencing the cluster and using the reference from inside the loops. I've tied using local variables. Neither works. I'm experimenting with globals but it seems that I have to construct the front panel in the gloabal and then I wouldn't know how to repoduce that on the front panel of the main VI. Sometimes it seems that more time is spent getting around Labview constructs than benefitting from them.
I hope the 'Add Attachment' function actuals puts a copy of the VI here and not a link to it.
Thanks again for the suggestion,
Frank
