How do I download a Mac OS 10.6 update?

How do I download the Mac OS 10.6 update? The new Ipod touch software needs the newest version OS and I have OS 10.5.8.

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.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

How do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

Well, you can cancel your Snow Leopard order if it hasn't already shipped. You need not wait on it as you can download Mountain Lion now that you have a redemption coupon (I assume that's what you meant by the email.)
After Mountain Lion is installed you can download a free copy of Mavericks. This all assumes that your computer meets the requirements for Mountain Lion.
Before you do any upgrade I strongly urge you to do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. 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 your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Personally, I would erase the hard drive then install the new OS X version. First, make a backup of your files from which you can later restore.

Delete the App Store app by dragging it and dropping it into the Trash. Then download and install the appropriate update combo for your version of OS X;
Install new MAS app -
OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 update combo

How do I download my MAC contacts to my new gmail acct.?

How do I download my contacts on my MAC osx to my new gmail acct.? I need to send an email to all my contacts using gmail.
Thank you for your help.

Be careful even connecting the iPad to the new Mac, you could erase everything if you aren't careful and don't know what you're doing.
If it's a work Mac and a personal iPad, there is no reason the twain should meet. The most that you can do is store iPad content in the iTunes libraries on the Mac. As Ralph mentioned, iPad apps don't run on Macs and vice versa.

I don't have the Mac app Store in my computer, how i can download! (mac os x 10.6.8)

i don't know how update or download the app: MAC APP STORE. i have the app but every time i open, that closes. Plues the icon is a blank sheet of paper whit two pencils.. help!!

First, reinstall Mac OS X 10.6.8 with the Combo edition > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399 Then, you should be able to use the Mac App Store.
If it doesn't work, reinstall Mac OS X. To do that, insert the Snow Leopard DVD, start your computer holding the C key and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything. After reinstalling Mac OS X, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8

How can i download aperture mac app if already have the cd but want the app?

thank you!

Is there a problem with the installer media you bought? If you bought Aperture 3 as a boxed retail version, you can download the Trial version again here:
Aperture 3.1 Trial
After you install it, run immediately software update from the -menu. You can unlock the Trial version with the serial number that came with your boxed CD version.
The licence that came with your boxed version entitles you to install it on two macs - one Desktop mac and one portable.

How to re(download) lion 10.7 when already updated to Mt. Lion 10.8

Is there any way to re(download) 10.7 from App Store after I have installed 10.8?
I do NOT have any (imaged) backup of my system with 10.7 installed (i.e. superduper, or time machine images) and when I attempt to re download it (the 10.7 app) from App Store, it tells me I already have 10.8 installed and am not permitted to install/download it. Moreover, upon attempting to reinstall 10.7 (from 10.6 image back up) iot wasn't present/avaliable in the App Store (later it was discovered to be 'hidden' as an avaliable app - effectively forcing the upgrade to 10.8 - which I NEVER do (update o/s within in the first 4-6 months) Grrr....
I wish to redownload 10.7 simply to have the executable o/s on a flash drive -moreover, since I have purchased the o/s I figure I should be allowed to have access (i.e. locally) to it, right? I have already done so (local exectuable) with 10.8 successfully and now wish to do so with 10.7
So, I suspect I could reinstall 10.6 (snow leopard via clean disc install or timemachine backup) and then go to App store, redownload 10.7 (without executing it) and make the exectuable/bootable USB Flash. Then update back to 10.7 which would allow for the more prudent (and experienced consumer) to wait a bit for the final update to 10.8 (which again, I already have saved locally).
This is a lot of extra work that I prefer not to have to do - Any alternate suggestions/tips is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Nick D.

You will need to ring Apple and get a redemption code for Lion and download it from their link. From there I would be backing up data and aring disk to do a clean install.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I need to update my iMovie, but it will not let me because I need version 10.7.4 or later. I tried downloading this version but it would not let me because I need 10.7. My question is how do I download this version?

Lion should still be available if you call the online Apple Store. If the Apple Store still has it, they will ask for your Apple ID and credit card number and will then send you a code which you can redeem in the Mac App Store. The Lion installer will download and run automatically.
Confirm compatibility with your current applications and Lion before you upgrade; in particular you will not be able to run any appications that were written only for PowerPC Macs.

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

How do I download Adobe Flash Player on my MacBook Pro? It says that I have to disable my antivirus software but I never installed one. Does it come with the Mac in the first place?

That message is just a standard one issued, mainly for Windows users, you can disregard it if you didn't install any anti-virus. (OS X has one installed by Apple that doesn't interfere)
It's just some forms of anti-malware are really paranoid and lock the entire machine down. (like Norton)
