How do I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 to OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

How do I upgrade OS X 10.5.8 to OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

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 an Intel Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

    How do I upgrade my iMAC OS X v10.5.8 to Snow Leopard?

    And it is very easy to install in contrary to earlier system versions. Don't forget to do the Software updates for the system as  you might not get the latest version on the disc. Best is to download the 10.6.8 COMBO update (1 Gb) first before updating.

  • How do i upgrade my OS X version 10.5.8 to Snow leopard so i can then install mountain lion?

    I M TRYING TO INSTALL MOUNTAIN LION BUT THE SITE SAYS I HAVE TO HAVE SNOW LEOPARD FIRST. I CAN'T FIND THE DOWNLOAD FOR
    . CAN YOU HELP?

    There are several ways around this. You can go to on Amazon and buy snow leopard. Update to 10.6.8. Then use The App Store that comes on 10.6.8 and upgrade to 10.8.
    This is assuming you have a iMac that can go to 10.8.
    Note. You are posting in the wrong forum. You should be posting this in Mountain Lion, not OS X Server.
    Other way around it is, if you have another computer that is on 10.6.8, download 10.8.  Extra the disk image out from the Installation o mountain lion. Clone image to a USB flash drive.
    Do a full backup of 10.5.8 to external HD such as a clone of it. Then boot up with the USB drive on 10.8. Format the internal HD. Then install 10.8 on it. transfer data back with migration tool after you boot back up.
    The easiest way would be just getting 10.6 DVD
    Good Luck

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

    The only observations are that the backup drive is deemed too small and the quite long list of diagnostic reports dated between  Jan 18, 2015 (which I believe is the day I upgraded to Yosemite) & today the latest Yosemite update was installed on Jan 28, 2015
    Any further assistance will be appreciated

  • How do you create a "DEVELOPER PROFILE" in xcode (4.2 on Snow Leopard)?

    How do you create a "DEVELOPER PROFILE" in xcode (4.2 on Snow Leopard)? I accidentally deleted it from Keychain Access.

    I'm not sure what you mean by Developer Profile, but you can create a provisioning profile in Xcode 4 from the Organizer. Click the Organizer button in the project window toolbar. Click the Devices button at the top of the Organizer. Select Provisioning Profiles from the left side of the Organizer.
    If you need to create something other than a provisioning profile, you may need to go to Apple's iOS developer center, sign in, and create what you need from there.

  • Can I upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ ??

    I was wondering if I could upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ or at a lower cost than full price. I do not need to upgrade that much because 10.4.11 is so great and I hate to leave it. Paying the full price of an operating system does not make sense to me. Can I do it cheaply because I am upgrading?

    No.
    The $29 upgrade is from leopard to Snow Leopard.
