How do I update from OS X 10.5.8 to the most current OS for using iCloud?

I need help with upgrading from OS X 10.5.8 to whatever the most current OS.

Depends on which model iMac you have?
see > How to identify iMac models
First off, does your iMac meet the Processor and RAM spec's for Snow Leopard?
see > Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
If so, then you must upgrade to Snow Leopard before you can get Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store.
Again, providing that your iMac meets the spec's for them as well?
see > OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
see > Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.

  • How do I update from Lightroom 5.5 to 6? I don't want the creative cloud I only want Lightroom 6.

    How do I update from Lightroom 5.x to 6?   I only see options for creative cloud which I do not want, I just want lightroom 6 but see no way to update to it?
    Thanks... Gary

    Daan, you can convert your Lightroom CC trial into a perpetual license install if you decide to buy the perpetual upgrade. There are instructions for doing that here:  Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Help | Serialize Lightroom CC trial to activate as Lightroom 6
    William, I see the same thing on B&H. Maybe they aren't selling the upgrades. But you can definitely buy an upgrade from Adobe using the link I posted above.

  • HT1338 Can anyone tell me how to find what OS I'm using on the Mac? Tiger or Leopard? Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?

    Can anyone tell me how to find what OS I'm using on the Mac?
    Tiger or Leopard?
    Also, how do I update from 10.6.8 to the latest version?

    Go to the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". You will get a window similar to this one -
    You current OS X version number will be shown as I've marked.
    OS X 10.4.x is Tiger, 10.5.x is Leopard, 10.6.x is Snow Leopard, 10.7.x is Lion, and 10.8.x is Mountain Lion.
    Whether or not you can go to the latest OS X version depends upon your hardware -
    You will need to purchase the retail set for the OS X version you want; there is no pint in getting and installing any intermediate versions. Once the retail version has been installed, you can update it to the latest release for that version via download updater.

  • How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

    How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, 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.

    How do i update from 10.6.8 to 10.8?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest Macs of each type that can run Mountain Lion and newer:
    iMac7,1
    MacBook5,1
    MacBookPro3,1
    MacBookAir2,1
    Macmini3,1
    MacPro3,1
    Xserve3,1
    If you choose to upgrade to Mountain Lion, click here; you don't need to do this to install Yosemite. Neither Yosemite nor Mountain Lion support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

    Make a cloned backup of your current system should you want to go back or if the upgrade isn't successful.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • How postings are updated from AR,AP to GL

    Hi,
    Can any one please explain me How postings are updated from AR,AP to GL in FI

    Hi,
    AR & AP are subledgers.
    While creating a customer, a reconciliation account (G/L Account), e.g 120000 will be attached to him. Prior to this while creating the G/L account (120000), customer will be chosen as the reconciliation account type. This way a link is established between AR/AP and G/L. If the customer does some transaction, the G/L account attached will automatically be updated.
    regards,

    Thank you for pointing this out. Might I rephrase that to, go to updates. press and hold on a update. Tap on "hide all updates" and this would clear the existing updates of that person, and blocks all further updates from that user.
    Shoutout and credit to hranawat9 for this.

    Firstly, 10.5.8 IS Leopard.   I think you mean Snow Leopard, in which case it is becoming increasingly difficult.   Read through the column 'More like this" to your right >>>>>>>    There are various suggestions there.

  • How do I update from 10.6 to 10.6.8?

    How do I update from 10.6 to 10.6.8?
    I downloaded the 10.6.8 Update v1.1, but it said I need 10.6.7 or higher. I'm hoping I don't need to update one, by one, by one to .1 .2 .3 .4 etc to 8.
    Thanks!

    That doesn't sound right.  The 10.6.8 Combo updater 1.1 is supposed to take any version of 10.6.x and bring it up to 10.6.8.  If it doesn't it's the first time I've heard of an apple combo updater not able to do an update to that updater's version.
    Is the 1.1 combo updater I linked to the one you are using or are you attempting to use the incremental 10.6.7 to 10.6.8 1.1 updater?

    The update is safe but whether or not you will have problems with it is entirely dependent on your setup.
    Personally, I had issue like several other users with the USB drivers in 10.4.7 causing problems with a USB PCI card. Not a huge issue as I've been using 10.4.6 USB drivers under 10.4.7 for about 2 months with no more problems.
    In any case, several users have posted checklists you can use to minimize potential problems:
