How do I download a new version of Mac OS X?

I am trying to upgrade my iTunes, and am unable to because my Mac Book Pro is a version Mac OS X 10.5.8, and I am told I need Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher. How do I upgrade to this version?

You need to purchase Snow Leopard >  Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.)
But before you purcahse the disc, make sure your Mac can run Snow Leoaprd v10.6.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
After installing Snow Leopard, click Software Update from the Apple () menu top left in your screen or open System Preferences > Software Update then click Check Now.
That will bring your Mac completely up to speed.
Don't forget to backup your important files to an external source before upgrading.

    How do I download a new version of flash player.  I have tried 10 times, each time it says complete.  However when I need it on a site, it says I don't have it????????   Thank you

    Hello,
    I have a similar problem than sam6sam had except that I'm on Safari. After the Mountain Lion security update I did last Friday, I had to update Flash. I installed .149, deinstalled, restarted, reinstalled .149 about 2 dozens times and it didn't work. Yesterday I saw that you had .167 and thought "finally they will have fixed this issue". After doing the same deinstall restart and install routine another dozen time, I give up! 
    I've followed all the instructions on this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-mac.html 
    and this page:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5067997#5067997
    and this page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html
    and still nothing.
    It looks like it's installed. When I go into System Preference Flash Player shows "Plug-in version 11.6.602.167 is installed.", yet when I want to see a flash video it tells me that I don't have the software and need to install it. My Safari Preferences allow for Pop-up and Enable Plug-in. My "open 'safe' files after downloading" is clicked.
    I've search all of Adobe, Apple and other geeky website's "help" area, and nothing I tried worked, including the "sudo" commands in the terminal (the answer to this one is "command not found").
    I'm really frustrated by this. There is certainly something that I overlooked, but I cannot figure it out. Help!

  • HT4623 I do not have a Software update box on my iPad 2....how do I download a newer version of software?

    I do NOT have a software update box on my ipad2....how do I get a newer version of software?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • How to erase and install new version os Mac Os X?

    Can someone tell me how to erase and install new copy of Mac OS X 10.5.8 ?? IS there a way to do this without CD?? I no longer have the disks and I cant find a way to get this done.. The reason I want to do this is because a 12 year old was using this computer for a long time and there is a lot of junk stuff on the disk, so I want to start from fresh.
    Thank you in advance.
    Yani.

    Hi Yani,
    Your out of luck without an Install Disc, & on dangerous ground also.
    2 ways to go...
      1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
       2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
          *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
       3. Click the Erase tab.
       4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
       5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
       6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion do a new install.
    Or...
    Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    In the same pref pane highlight your old account, click the little minus icon, then use Disk Utility to Secure Erase Free Space.

  • I bought the key..but how do I download the new version without purchasing?

    I must be having a bad day. I can' figure this out.
    Wanted to upgrade to 7.2 from 7.0. No big deal. I purchase the Prokey for 29.99. Order status is good. Says the key is delivered... I check the mail...Got it. Enter the registration.. no problem.
    But how in the heck to download the 7.2 version? I've not downloaded any new software. When I start QT, I am still in the old version (with the registration key displayed). There is no prompt to download the 7.2 version.
    In the Dowloaded Purchases section of my account at the Apple Store there is no link display where I can access the QT 7.2.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Many thanks in advance...

    Hi Larry
    Entering the key unlocks the Pro features previously greyed-out. It's not necessary to download another version, though there will be updates from time to time.
    Go to Quicktime Preferences to check you key is showing - it should say Quicktime Pro underneath the key field.

  • How do I download the newer version of iTunes on a computer ?

    I'm trying to get on iTunes from my computer which has Windows . But it won't let me open the app . A little window pops up saying "The file 'iTunes Library .itl' cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes . I want to open it so I can fix some things but it won't open . It would be nice if this was answered asap .

    Looks like you had installed newer version before, uninstall it - but not completely, and than intalled the older version again.I had this issue before. I had to completly uninstall the newer version through control panel, and than perfom search for itunes for all folders and manually delete all other itunes files. Once all this is done you should be able to install again. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

  • How do I download this new version of ADOBE FLASH PLAYER 10.1?

    I am using WINDOWS XP 2002 version. The IE that I use is Mozilla Firefox. I get to a screen with a box that says DOWNLOAD NOW. I click on that, and a dialog box opens up with "You have chosen to open INSTALL_FLASH_PLAYER.EXE which is a: Binary File from: http://fpdownload.abode.com Would you like to save this file? SAVE FILE    CANCEL."  I click on SAVE FILE. A new dialog box opens  with INSTAL_FLASH_PALYER.EXE. I click on this, and it looks like something is opening, but then nothing happens.
    How do I get the Download to run?

    Hi,
    You need to Uninstall the version of Flash Player :
    Download and SAVE it to your Desktop:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html 
    Download and SAVE the Installer for FF to your Desktop:
    http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe 
    Use the Administrator Account, Close all browser windows, disable any instant messenger service in the system tray(area near the clock)
    Disable Norton
    Run the Uninstaller and then Reboot(restart) your computer.
    Check to make sure Norton is still Disabled.
    Run the Installer and then Reboot your computer.
    Test here:

  • How can i download a new version when my exployer wont let me get new one and old one stopped

    if i open it it closes

    :-)  I know that I sound like I don't have a clue, but I've already been to the App Store, and looked for updates—the only one I can find is Yosemite, but I don't think I can install Yosemite without first installing 10.7/8/9. I'm in the process of downloading Yosemite now, and hoping it will work. Thanks very much for the advice.
