How can i update my operating system?

I would like to update to OS Lion but I am unable to because I have 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo. I would still like to update my OS to something new but I have not found anything. Please help.

If you are now running Snow Leopard then that is as far as you can go unless you purchase a newer computer capable of running Lion.

  • HT4561 my mac has OS X 10.5.8 ... how can I update my operating system?

    I have an imac with OS X 10.5.8 and I want to update my iphone which needs the new itunes however I cannot update my itunes until I update my operating system. What are my options?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
    If it's an Intel Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update. Mac OS X 10.6 also requires at least 1GB of RAM.

    I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8.  How can I upgrade the operating system so I can get i Life 11?

    You will need Snow Leopard which is available as a retail disk for $29 from the Apple store or online resellers. Make sure your Mac meets the system requirements; 1 GB RAM is the absolute minimum - 2 GB would be better.

    How do I update the operating system in an ipad2?

    I suggest that you don't, the new operating system stinks.  But if you want too, go to settings, general, and then software update.  If your iPad will support it, it will update.

  • Can I update the operating system on my Mac OSX 10.5.8

    How can I update my Mac OSX 10.5.8 to a newer operating system?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

  • How can I restore the operating system of my iPad?

    By mistake, one of my grandson's installed a new OS version in our iPad (I think he installed iOS 8.0.  The iPad is about 2 years old; my wife uses it, and she would like it to be returned to the original operating system that was installed because that's what she's familiar with.  How do I do this?

    Apple dosnt allow you to downgrade the ios (os) version, but with some programs you can downgrade, but they can sometimes be risky and they are not apple sertified, either google and find a program, or maybe take it inot a apple store or call up apple.

  • How can i download new operating system

    The update is no longer in my setting or app updates.

    What version of iOS is your iPhone running? If it's still on iOS 4.x, you have to connect your iPhone to iTunes on your computer to get it to the latest version of iOS, after which you can then update directly from you iPhone (though reports indicate that updating via iTunes is more likely to go smoothly, so you may wish to continue updating via that method).
    If your iPhone is on iOS 5 or iOS 6, post back with specifics and we'll try to help further.

  • HT1338 How do I update the Operating System for my MacBook Pro?

    I currently have OS version 10.5.8.  I can't get the proper plug-ins for Flash anymore because my Mac OS is too old.  I've tried updating the OS, but it will not let me install it.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    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?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • I have recently updated the operating system on my iPad. Now my alarm is silent and my FaceTime doesn't ring aloud when a call comes in. How do I fix this please?

    Do you see a half moon icon in the upper right corner of the screen? If so, you have Do Not Disturb enabled. Settings>Do Not Disturb. Turn it off.
    Or do you have system sounds muted?
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center. Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
