How do I upgrade my 2009 Macbook from Leopard 10.5.8 to Maverick?

One discussion indicated that the Aluminum 5.1 model from 2009 should be compatible with Maverick. App Store screen states that one needs 10.6.6 or higher to download from App Store. So how do I upgrade?

Back up your data, click here, and read the entire page. Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

How do I upgrade the operating system from 10.3.9 to 10.5

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 which is running 10.3.9 at the moment and I would like to upgrade it to 10.5.
Where do I get the OS from and how do i install it?
Sorry I am new to MAC so have no real knowledge on how to any of this.
Thanks,
alamb200

Unless you find it on eBay, it's likely to cost you more than the iBook is worth.
Apple sold it for $129, and you could try giving them a call to see if they may still have it available via phone sales. You need the full retail version.

Don't buy any version that came with another Mac; it won't work, neither will an "upgrade" disc. (An upgrade disc requires that you already have Mac OS X 10.4 installed.)
Good luck.
(Unless you can find an exceptional deal on Leopard, the money would probably be better spent on upgrading to a MacBook with Leopard or Snow Leopard already on it.)

HT4972 How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5?

How do I upgrade my iPOD Touch from iOS 4.2.1 to 5? I've reset it, erased it, but still won't install iOS5.

You most likely have a 2G iPod touch which cannot go beyond iOS 4.2.1. If it is an 8gb or 16 gb iPod without a camera, it is a 2G iPod.

How to quickly upgrade to latest versin (from 8.0.0. to now:Version 8.2.5 10/5/2010)

I'm used AA8 (8.0.0)
how to quickly upgrade to latest versin , from 8.0.0. to (now:Version 8.2.5 10/5/2010)
if download all for each version, install, restart, install, restart...15 times install, 15 time restart windows.
is crazy step.
also, that Adobe Customization Wizard 8 can help me?
any idea please!

You only need to reboot on the last install. You do not need to do the other restarts since you are simply making changes to the registry and adding files. For these changes to become current for running Acrobat you need to do the reboot at the end.
As far as faster, you might try the updates on the Help menu of Acrobat. Many of those are cummulative. If you see more than one, install the first one and then go back for the next one.

I want to give an iPad to my wife to use for work, but her employer won't let her upgrade her Macbook from Leopard to Lion. It's pointless if she can't use iCloud. Is there a workaround?

I want to give an iPad to my wife to use for work, but her employer won't let her upgrade her Macbook from Leopard to Lion. It's pointless if she can't use iCloud. Is there a workaround?

So far Apple has not upgraded the other Mac OS X versions to iCloud. She can manually enter information to be synced in the cloud but that is really tedious.

how do I upgrade to 10.9 from 10.6.8

If you downloaded the full installer for Mavericks before Yosemite came out, log into the Mac App Store with the Apple ID you used, click on the Purchases tab, and install it.
If not, you can't.

I just upgraded an old Imac from Leopard to Snow Leopard, now it won't work

I just upgraded my 2003 imac from leopard to snow leopard and after restart all I get is a blue screen. Nothing happens. How can I get back to the old leopard. I use this computer for research just because of the 23'' screen. Help

I'm sure that a 2003 machine is incapable of accepting Snow Leopard. Have you checked the specs to see if it is ...
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
In particular, check the amount of RAM you have.
You could contact Apple through your National Apple store with the serial number of your machine to see if they can provide a replacement DVD ... but I doubt they can.
Contact Apple support

Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from Leopard for free?

Hi Apple Support,
I was in the Apple, Covent Garden store the other day and an assistant said that I could upgrade to Mountain Lion from Leopard for free in one CD. He told me to call a number which I did and the assistant over the phone had no idea about this offer.
Can someone dispell the confusion for me?
Thanks

You can't. The Mountain Lion upgrade is only free for people who purchased a new Mac on or after July 26 without it installed, and all of the computers which fall into that category shipped with Lion, not Leopard.

How to upgrade a 2009 iMac from OS X 10.5.8 to OS X 10.9.5

I would like to upgrade the operating system on my 2009 iMac from OS X Version 10.5.8 to 10.9.5. Is it something I can do on my own since AppleCare expired and I am not able to go to an Apple retail store to speak to a Genius? Where can I get the V. 10.9.5 for free? Thanks.

Can i upgrade cpu of my late 2009 macbook from intel core 2 duo to intel i5 for i7?

My macbook is a late 2009 macbook with 2.26GHz Intel core 2 duo processor with 2GB DDR3 memory. Can I upgrade its processor to latest dual-core intel i7 processors?

However drop an SSD in that puppy and bump the RAM to 8 GB and you'll never miss the i5 or i7 processor.

How can I upgrade to Lion again from Snow Leopard?

My Macbook Pro (Late 2011), was shipped with OSX Lion but due to some software compatibility issues, I downgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, but now that software is fully compatible with OSX Lion and Mountain Lion, how can I upgrade to Lion again?

Hi Viaixtapa, well long story...
I phoned the number above and purchased a license. The process worked fine, the Apple Tech took my particulars, I received an email right away acknowelging my purchase and one from the Tech giving me his details so that I could come back to him if I needed help. But when I went to download Lion it would not download because I do not have the requirements to load it, mine is an Intel Core Duo instead of an Intel 2 Duo or later.
The clerk in the Apple store in Vancouver checked the details of my machine and told me I could load it if I upgraded the memory. But apparently that was incorrect. The Tech I who sold me Lion checked too and said no, my iMac is not capable of supporting Lion. So a plus and minus answer. I did get Lion, but was unable to load it, yours is a 2008 model so you should have no trouble. Why not try the number or the international website above from Steve, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I will just keep saving my pennies toward a new iMac!!

How do I upgrade an intel macbook running OS 10.4.11

what should I upgrade my intel macbook OS 10.4.11 to. How far can I go with this macbook?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu; it can be upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.3 and 10.6.8 if it has at least 1GB of RAM. If it has at least 2GB of RAM and a Core 2 Duo or better CPU, it can then be upgraded to 10.7.5 by phoneing the online Apple Store and ordering a download code for it. No MacBook(not MacBook Pro) can run both 10.4.11 and 10.8.
