How can update from OS X 10.3.9 to 10.4.8?

I can't seem to install ADOBE, and it asks for OS X 10.4.8.
This is my first mac and don't know what direction to go.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome To  Discussions Newbie818!
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

Software Update, Upgrade: What's The Difference?
Examine these items Tiger On eBay, very carefully, and if in doubt, ask the seller questions before purchasing.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, once Tiger 10.4.x is installed, you can use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.

The Tiger Media Exchange Program, referred to in that article, is no longer available.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

  • HT4623 When i go to Settings General there is no option for software update.  Can anyone tell me how to update from 4.2.6

    Can anyone tell me how to update from 4.2.6? 

    Check to make sure you don't have two firewalls (i.e. a Windows firewall and one on your router).
    If that's not it, you may need to dig deeper ... like temporarily changing your router's DNS to use Google's DNS or OpenDNS instead of your ISP's DNS.  Or maybe open up a certain port on your router (not sure which one that would be though, sorry).  Or, if your computer is connected to the internet over wi-fi, try connecting to your router (or modem) via Ethernet, I heard of that solving a problem like this (though I can't confirm if that was real).

  • Complete mac virgin! How to update from 10.3.7

    I brought an imac g5 off of eBay. Local so I know who from. My daughter yanked out the power cable when I had it on, this froze the whole system. After a few weeks I figured I how to reinstall the dics! I was told it was running 10.6.8, but it now says 10.3.7 ): is this the reason I can't download transmission? Or any utorrents. It asks me to update safari but won't let me do that either. Any SIMPLE advice would be great!

    Hi Amelia,
    Yes, you can update from 10.3.7 to 10.3.9, no problem.
    You should then have the other updates available in your Software Update (Apple menu): remember to choose "Install & Keep Package" if you want to keep backups.
    The safest way to update: download the Combo Update from Apple Downloads here:
    - Mac OS X Combined Update 10.3.9
    Warning: Before the update,
    BACK UP FIRST. Then,
    1) Uninstall Norton Systemworks completely.
    Use the Removal Utility (click this --> Norton Support), then use Finder's Find (⌘F) to search for any "Norton" and "Symantec" files left, and delete them.
    2) Run the "cron" scripts and clean users caches with OnyX or whatever other cache-cleaning utility you use.
    3) Restart from your Panther Install DVD and run a Disk Repair with Disk Utility.
    If you have DiskWarrior, it is a good time to use it too.
    4) Restart your computer (normally, from Macintosh HD) and run a Permissions Repair with Disk Utility.
    5) Unplug all periphericals, iPods, external HD etc. Just keep the speakers, keyboard and mouse.
    6) Install the Combo Update.
    7) After the required Restart, Repair Permissions AGAIN with Disk Utility.
    8) When you use Software Update for the further updates, remember to Repair Permissions again after each install or update.
    No hurry with Software Update.
    Tip: it is safer to install/update only one software at a time.
    Good luck!

  • How to update from 10.5.8 to snow leopard

    well ive just bought my macbook off a friend and it hasnt been updated since 2009, how do i update it?
    ive downloaded the software but i think i need to change the destination of installation, i dont have a clue how to change this.
    I was also wondering if there is anyway i can update from 10.5.8 to the latest without having to install every other thing first?
    Thanks

    The title of your request and your post don't say the same thing .... So .......
    To upgrade to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, you have to call the online Apple store, which in the US is 800-MY-APPLE and order the DVD. Install, Software Update until no more updates, and you'll be at OS X 10.6.8, with App Store access and can load iTunes 7, if that's on your list.
    If your new-to-you has OS X 10.5.8, you can't upgrade the operating system any further without purchasing them. If you have 1GB+ of memory and some free disk space, you can upgrade to 10.6.  Then you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion, if your MacBook is a late 2008 aluminum or early 2009 model, and has at least 2GB of memory (4GB recommended).  Mountain Lion is only available thru download from the App Store, hence the reason to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  • HT4623 how to update from version 4.1 to 6.0

    how to update from version 4.1 to 6.0

    What do you mean unlocked one?  You are talking about software updates here and software updates are free and for a 3gs you can only update to 6.1.3 as you have already been told.
    If you are talking about phones themselves, then this is totally different and you need to be more specific or get your question right.
    There is no unlocked software update - it s free.

  • HT4623 How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps

    How can update my iPhone to the last ios5. I dont want ios 6 as I want to keep google maps?

    I disagree, Mr. WJ:
    If Matt had updated his iPhone via the Cloud and not by USB cable to his computer, the old IOS would still be on the computer and he would be able to "restore" to it. It would depend on what his backup settings were configured.
    For instance, I always backup to my computer at home. But, in the last few days I was notified that IOS 6.1 came out. So, if I wanted, I could install the update via WIFI from where I am at work. But, my old IOS would still be safe on my home computer that I can restore from if need be.
    And then you basically repeated what I stated about Google Maps being a app you can download now.
    Who loves ya, baby?

    How to update from 3.1.3 ver to a higher ver.

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the original iPhone and first generation iPod touch is 3.1.3.

  • How can update icore3 to icore7

    Hi all,
    I am new to Mac, However I have the mac computer since 6 months ago but due to lack of time I do not have so much time to learn the new system in depth,
    I suppose the question is a little "funny" for the most of you, But I really need an answer from people who are more experienced to Mac.
    The below are the caracteristics of my mac (I am sorry they are in spanish).
    Could somebody give a hand on how can update the procesor to icore7? Is just enough to deliver the computer to the official apple store and buy the new procesor?
    Do you know estimated cost to make such an update? should I change any other hardware in order to make Mac run better?
    Thanks, 
    Nombre del modelo:          iMac
      Identificador del modelo:          iMac11,2
      Nombre del procesador:          Intel Core i3
      Velocidad del procesador:          3,2 GHz
      Número de procesadores:          1
      Número total de núcleos:          2
      Caché de nivel 2 (por núcleo):          256 KB
      Caché de nivel 3:          4 MB
      Memoria:          4 GB
      Velocidad de interconexión del procesador:          5.86 GT/s

    Actually there is no problem with the one I have, I just want to upgrade this in order to run some games,
    I suppose that they will run better in icore7...moreover the in few months the processors are better and better and I would like to be inline with the current new processors.
    I suppose that in a year I will not be able to play some games because the processor will be "old".
