How do I update from OS10.6.8 to 10.7

I am trying to run Google SketchUp 2013 but get error message....You have MAC OS X 10.6.8 this application requires MAC OS X 10.7 or later.
I am using Firefox, how do I update?

Hello pateyb1234
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
All OS X updates can be updated through App Store, some updates maybe disabled since your version of your Mac, it may be unsupported, or your computer does not reach the minimum requirements. Major updates of the OS X is required to pay, if your computer does not reach the minimum requirements, consider upgrading or buy a new computer.
Cheers,
Jimmy

  • 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?

    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.

    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.

    how do I update from ios 10.8 to yosemite

    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,
    Murali.

    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?

  • HT1338 How do i update from 10.5.2

    How do i update from 10.5.2

    Assuming you have 1GB or more of memory, you would buy and install OS X 10.6.  It's available from the online Apple store, in the US by calling 800-MY-APPLE, or online here.  After OS X 10.6 installation, run Software Update until there are no more updates available, at which point you'll be at OS X 10.6.8.
    If your goal is to install iTunes 10.7, you'll be able to do that at OS X 10.6.8. If your MacBook is late 2008 aluminum or 2009 or newer, you can go to the App store to install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Note it requires 2GB of memory, with 4GB recommended.

  • 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.

    I have an orginal iPad and there is no "sofeware update" button in the general menu as shown above, how do I update from version 4.3.3?

    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.
