How do I go about upgrading to the latest software I am currently running 10.4.11

I am currently running Mac os x 10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to the latest operating system, but from what I've been told I cant just jump to the current Lion. What is the most cost effective and smartest way to upgrade from my current Tiger to Lion.
Thanks!

Now tell us more.
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
Then click on More Info>Hardware and report this upto but not including the Serial#...
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac7,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 6 GB
Cheapest is to buy Snow Leoprd for @29, then buy Lion online for $29, but you can buy Lion on a Flash Drive & erase your drive to install Lion for$69.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It looks like they might still have it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory[14]
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading[14]
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • I just upgraded to the latest software for my pages.  When I opened an old document it stripped out all the images I had in my tables.  How do I get them back

    I just upgraded to the latest software for my pages.  When I opened an old document it stripped out all the images I had in my tables.  How do I get them back

    Don't save. Close the documents.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 will damage/alter older files, something Apple didn't tell its users.
    Pages 5 is a severely stripped down version with over 90+ features removed.
    We recommend trashing/archiving Pages 5 after Exporting any files you may have saved back to Pages '09.
    Also rate/review Pages 5 in the App store.

  • Recently the sound on my Iphone 4 for texts, and email alerts started working intermittently.  I have upgraded to the latest software and the Apple store even replaced the phone but safe issues

    For each mail account, along with designating a primary SMTP server, you should be able to just turn off any and all other SMTP servers you have listed.  In that case, if there is a problem with comcast, the message send should just fail.
    Also make sure your comcast smtp settings are correct (port, likely 587 but might be something else for comcast, whether you should be suing SSL or not, do you need authentication or not).
    You might find the comcast forums useful for getting the settings right - I found this:
    http://forums.comcast.com/t5/E-Mail-and-Xfinity-Connect-Help/iphone-email/m-p/66 1151?view=by_date_ascending#M131151
    The second poster notes, SSL should be on, authentication should be "password" and you should be using port 995

  • I have a 3 year old mac pro running 10.6.8 should i upgrade to the latest software?

    Will the upgrade slow down my computer or will it be more beneficial?
    Thanks for any info, D.D.D

    There is no way to intelligently answer your question (re: performance).  Since you are running what is unsupported software (by Apple), I would seriously consider upating to the latest software.

  • How do you know when you have the latest software updates

    how do you know when yo have the lastest software updates on your older IPOD?  I just purchased on home theater to replace one, Samsung, I was assured that the system would run my IPOD.  I've sync'd my IPOD to my computer a number of times before the purchase and since.  Samsung is telling me that I need to update my IPOD.  My ITunes keeps telling me there aren't any updates out there.

    Read the top of the page I gave you the link to. The
    latest update that you do not have only added more
    support for the Shuffle. If you are not having any
    problems leave as is. If you have problems then
    download the update. It will ask you for your user
    ID. Once you install the updater, your computer will
    reboot.
    This is what it says at the download site.. iPod Software 1.0
    * iPod with video
    Everything is working fine Barb with the ipod but I was under the assumption that if an update is available, I should download it...

  • I have OS X 10.5.8, how do I go about updating to the newest software Apple has to offer?

    I have 10.5.8 and I'm wondering what I need to buy in order to get the newest software from Apple.

    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 a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, open the Mac App Store, and try purchasing Mountain Lion. If you get told it's incompatible, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

  • How do you update iphone 3gs to the latest software?

    I really want to update the software of my 3gs (currently running ios 4.1). If anyone knows how to, plz reply asap.
    Thanks

    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 fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.

  • How do I download and install Firefox 6 instead of the latest version (I'm currently running 3.6.23)?

    I don't want to update to the very latest version of Firefox because I'm using a Learning Management System for my online master's program that doesn't currently ensure compatibility with the latest version of Firefox. It only ensures compatibility up to Firefox 6 right now. How do I download and install Firefox 6 instead of the latest version? I'm currently running Firefox 3.6.23.

    Firefox 6 is no longer supported and the usage of such versions that have known security vulnerabilities is not recommended.
    You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

  • Firefox freezes when I load new pages into new tabs. This started a few weeks ago after I downloaded the latest update to firefox, currently running 7.0.1

    After installing the latest update to Firefox a couple of weeks ago, loading new pages into new tabs takes a very very long time IF the page loads at all. I usually have to close the original tab to get the new tabs to load their pages. Sometimes I have to close all Firefox windows and start over to get the page I want to load.
    This only started after downloading and installing this new update. I had no problem with new pages/tabs with previous versions.
    I have rebooted, run full scans with Spyware Doctor, Malwarebytes and McAfee without solving the problem.

  • How is it possible to upgrade to the latest Version of Elements coming from Elements 10 downloaded in the Mac App Store?

    Hi,
    two years ago I bought PSE10 in the Mac App Store. Is it possible to upgrade to PSE12 or do I have to buy the new Version in the App Store again?
    Thank you and kind regards
    Thomas

    You can often find the full products on-line cheaper than the upgrade prices from Adobe. For example PSE12 is $69 from Amazon and the combo PSE12+PRE12 is $115. I would suggest shopping around to get the cheapest deal. Also if you buy the boxed product it will be multi-platform and can be used on both Windows and Mac. The download versions tend to be platform specific.

  • I just upgraded to the latest itunes -cant make AIFF's

    Hi, evidently, I  mistakenly upgraded to the latest version of itunes.  On version 10, I had "convert to AIFF' under the "Advanced" drop down menu.  That doesn't seem to be available on the new itunes.  Is there something I'm missing?  Did they discontinue that feature?  If so, how do I revert to the itunes 10?  Also, if they are going to drop features in the future, how can I know NOT to download the latest software versions (short of reading all that mumbo jumbo?)

    Thanks Jim, but when I selected "Preferences" under the I-Tunes tab, , then under "general",then "import settings", it says, "import using:"  WAV encoder, MP3 Encoder, Apple lossless encoder etc, and AIFF encoder
    The box below that, "Setting", is set to automatic.
    I click OK.
    But I-tunes still does not give me an "advanced" tab along the top of the page.  On i-tunes 10, the top bar says I-Tunes, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Advanced, Window and Help.  But I-Tunes  11.01 has all of those choices EXCEPT "advanced".

  • I have an older I Mac operating system 10.6.8 and want to upgrade.  I've been told that the only upgrade available for my machine is 10.7.5.  On what website can I find this upgrade or how do I find this upgrade on the Apple website?

    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 am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
    I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

    Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
    Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
    Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
    Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
    Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
    Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
    Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
    Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
    Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
    Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
    Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
    Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?
