How can i upgrade version from 10.6.8 to 10.9.4

How can i upgrade version from 10.6.8 to 10.9.4?

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be very prudent if you to backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected Mac formatted hard drive. Then use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR use a data cloning app to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple from a company which got bought out, I believe by Micrsoft and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty  here.

If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUoMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of OS X Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

  • How Can I Upgrade JServer from 9.2.0.6 to 9.2.0.7

    Hi Gurus,
    I have two Db servers running AIX 5.3 64bits. They both have Oracle Db Server 9.2.0.1 installed on it but the first one was upgraded to 9.2.0.6 and finally upgraded to 9.2.0.7. The second server on the other hand was upgraded straight to 9.2.0.7 from 9.2.0.1.
    The problem now is that on the first server, I still have JServer release 9.2.0.6 running on the first server despite being upgraded to 9.2.0.7. Meanwhile, the 2nd server has JServer release to be 9.2.0.7. Is there any particular way of upgrading JServer? How can I do this other than applying Oracle 9.2.0.7 patch which I have applied already? Any help please?
    Thanks

  • How can I upgrade iPhoto from 8.1.2 but without upgrading OSX from 10.6.8?

    I have an iMac ca. 2008 vintage which is currently running OSX 10.6.8. Due to various problems I had to do a restore and everything worked OK afterwards except iPhoto (v. 8.1.2.). When I try to launch it I get the error message "iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem" - Error log below.
    As I understand it I cannot reinstall the original version of IPhoto that came ready loaded on the iMac. On the App Store the only version of iPhoto available requires Yosemite and I don't want to upgrade to that.
    Any advice?

    Not sure why you "understand" that you can not reinstall the original version - you can reinstall from the original source
    Could be
    1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
    or
    2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
    or
    3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first
    But the error looks like you may need to reinstall the OS as you are missing sme required system elements

    It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.
    But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).
    Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option.

  • HT1444 how can I upgrade my macbook from 10.5.8 version to the latest version

    how can I upgrade my macbook from OS X 10.5.8 version to the latest version?

    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:

    teddy27 a écrit:
    Thank you, Michel, for your helpful answer.  I have downloaded SmartCurve and saved the files in C:\program files\adobe\Photoshop elements\plug-ins.  I re-started PhotoShop.  Do I access SmartCurve to adjust curves from within PhotoShop? 
    You can acces it from the menu 'Filters', there is a line called 'Easy.Filter', click it and it shows 'Smartcurve'.
    Separately, can I upgrade my PhotoShop Elements to Photoshop without signing up to the CC 'rental' system of monthly payments?  Sincere thanks,  Ted
    I know that you don't need the CC 'rental' subscription to have Photoshop, but as far as I know, there is no upgrade path from Elements except periodical special offers.

    You can upgrade to iPhoto '11 with OS X 10.8.5 by purchasing an iPhoto '11 DVD from Amazon, eBay or other source - or you can upgrade your OS to Mavericks for free if your system meets the requirements and then purchase the upgrade to iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store - in either case backup first in case of problems

  • How can i upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    How can I upgrade from iphoto 7.1.5 to 8.1.2 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8 ?

    With the above listed config that I have (iphoto 7.1.5 on an older iMac running OSX 10.6.8), how can I move my iPhoto library from this old iMac (2006) to my NEW iMac (2011) that is running iPhoto 9.5.1 ?
    To open an iPhoto 7.1.x version in iPhoto '11 you need to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader. See this Support document:
    iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrade
    Download and install the upgrader,  then run it on your iPhoto 7.1.5 library. After that, iPhoto will be able to open your library and upgrade it to version 9.5.1. And you will be able to merge the libraries with if Library Manager.

  • How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
    The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
    And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
    (However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
    There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
    in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
    You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
    get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
    So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I upgrade to the latest version of Minion Pro (with a full set of superior letters)?

    I purchased Minion Pro a long time ago and love it, except ... it uses the ISO set of superior letters. I transcribe a lot of 17th- and 18th-century documents, and they use superior letters not in the ISO set. In Minion Pro Read Me it says that version 2.030 created 2007/08/16 has a full alphabet of superior letters. How can I upgrade from my version of Minion Pro without a full superior alphabet to a version with a full alphabet? --Thanks!

    I believe you're referring to an item on Minion Pro's Release Notes document. I've checked the latest version of this family and I'm sorry to tell you that Minion Pro does not have a full set of superiors. The comment in the Release Notes is incorrect.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least 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.
