  • How can I upgrade my Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro. Here are the specs :
    Mac OS X 10.5.8
    MacPro1,1
    NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
    When OS 10.6 came out, I found out that I couldn't upgrade to it because of my graphic card. In the technical specifications it is mentioned that :
    OpenCL
    requires one of the following graphics cards or graphics processors:
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, GeForce 9600M GT, GeForce 8600M GT, GeForce GT 120, GeForce GT 130, GeForce GTX 285, GeForce 8800 GT, GeForce 8800 GS, Quadro FX 4800, Quadro FX5600
    ATI Radeon 4850, Radeon 4870
    Now, OS 10.5.8 is becoming more and more outdated. I would like to know how can I upgrade my Mac Pro ? What kind of graphic card can I put in ?
    Thank you for any help and/or information !

    It's been a while since I've used it but I installed Snow Leopard on my old Mac Pro 1,1 with the 7300GT and it worked. OpenCL may not have but the rest of it did. I don't think what you've quoted says you can't upgrade but only that an upgrade won't deliver all of the features in Snow Leopard. Indeed, I was able to move the HD in the 1,1 Mac Pro into the 5,1 Mac Pro, boot from it (10.6.4 is the minimum the 2010 Mac Pro will boot with), clone it and then updated it.

    how can i upgrade my mac os x 10.5.8 to the latest version? i need to download i tunes desperatly!!!

    You need a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, an external optical drive such as Apple's SuperDrive, and the 10.6.8 combo updater. You don't need to buy Mac OS X 10.7 or 10.8.

  • I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

    I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

    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.

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

    Can i upgrade from mac os x v10.4.11 to snow leopar or do i have to buy leopard

    If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard you do not need leopard.
    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs

    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    How do I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 to OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    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.
    If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

    How do I upgrade my iMAC OS X v10.5.8 to Snow Leopard?

    And it is very easy to install in contrary to earlier system versions. Don't forget to do the Software updates for the system as  you might not get the latest version on the disc. Best is to download the 10.6.8 COMBO update (1 Gb) first before updating.

  • HT1338 How can I upgrade my Mac OS X 10.5.8? I can not perform a software update

    I am trying to update my software to a OS X Mountain lion but can not.

    Upgrading to 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.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    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.
    If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)

  • Can I upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ ??

    I was wondering if I could upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ or at a lower cost than full price. I do not need to upgrade that much because 10.4.11 is so great and I hate to leave it. Paying the full price of an operating system does not make sense to me. Can I do it cheaply because I am upgrading?

    No.
    The $29 upgrade is from leopard to Snow Leopard.

  • How do i upgrade my OS X version 10.5.8 to Snow leopard so i can then install mountain lion?

    I M TRYING TO INSTALL MOUNTAIN LION BUT THE SITE SAYS I HAVE TO HAVE SNOW LEOPARD FIRST. I CAN'T FIND THE DOWNLOAD FOR
    . CAN YOU HELP?

    There are several ways around this. You can go to on Amazon and buy snow leopard. Update to 10.6.8. Then use The App Store that comes on 10.6.8 and upgrade to 10.8.
    This is assuming you have a iMac that can go to 10.8.
    Note. You are posting in the wrong forum. You should be posting this in Mountain Lion, not OS X Server.
    Other way around it is, if you have another computer that is on 10.6.8, download 10.8.  Extra the disk image out from the Installation o mountain lion. Clone image to a USB flash drive.
    Do a full backup of 10.5.8 to external HD such as a clone of it. Then boot up with the USB drive on 10.8. Format the internal HD. Then install 10.8 on it. transfer data back with migration tool after you boot back up.
    The easiest way would be just getting 10.6 DVD
    Good Luck

  • Upgrade from Mac OS X 10.6.8 to Snow Leopard

    Ok, it's true - I haven't upgraded my laptop in a LOOONG time. I have Mac OS x 10.6.8 and I was told I needed to upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3. But whenever I try it, my laptop just turns off and restarts, I get the gray screen with the apple but that's it. It just sits there, it won't restart all the way. Then I have to do a safe restart and the Snow Leopard still isn't installed...
    What am I doing wrong?

    10.6.3 is not an update of 10.6.8. 10.6.8 is the last of the Snow Leopard updates. Now you have messed up your old system, so you are going to have to erase the drive in order to re-install Snow Leopard properly.
    If your computer came with a version of Snow Leopard pre-installed, then install that from the original software restore discs that came with the computer. Otherwise, use the Snow Leopard DVD you have if your computer originally came with Leopard or Tiger installed on it:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
