    You need to purchase the 10.6 Operating Disks, as 10.6 is not downloadable.  You can purchase these disks from the on-line apple store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard. 
    Also, make sure that your computer can in fact be upgraded to the newer OS version.  Check your computers model and year - - https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do.
    Once you know this, ensure that your model is supported - http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/.

  • How to upgrade to quicktime 7 pro on mac osx10.6

    I purchased the upgrade to QT 7 pro mac osx but i cant figure out how to upgrade from my current QT player on leopard 10.6.2 to the pro. can any help?

    Those seem like OS error codes. Are they the same for all Apple programs?
    The default QT player for Snow Leopard is QT X which cannot be upgraded to "Pro" status. Check to see if the QT 7 Player is installed (found in the "Utilities" folder if already installed). If not, then use the Snow Leopard installation disk to custom install just the QT 7 (v7.6.3) package which then can be QT Pro registered using the File menu "Registration" option when QT 7 is open.

    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. 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.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)

    It's reported that if you have a MobileMe account that Apple will send you SL/10.6 for free.
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.

  • How to upgrade mac os x 10.5.3 to any version?

    How to upgrade mac os x 10.5.3 to any version???

    If your Mac is running Leopard (10.5.x) then in order to upgrade further, you need to call Apple and purchase an upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6.x).  I have not verified this myself, but I have been told that you can only purchase this by calling Apple, and it will cost about $20 USD. 
    Once you have Snow Leopard, you will need to verify if you really want to upgrade further.  By going to any newer OS, you will lose the ability to run any older PowerPC based software, as the newer releases of Mac OS do not include ROSETTA, which is needed to continue to run those applications.  Also, if your hardware has Leopard, it may not support any of the newer Mac OS releases, so you would want to verify that as well.
    After you have installed Snow Leopard, and then updated it to the latest (10.6.8) you can use the Mac App Store to purchase newer OS releases.  For right now, you can Buy Mountain Lion directly in the store.  If your hardware can't support Mountain Lion, but you still want ot upgrade to Lion, you will need to place another call to Apple to purchase an upgrade code to Lion. With that upgrade code, you can redeem it in the App Store to download the Lion installer.

    i am operating on MAC OS 10.5.8 how do upgrade?

    As Ralph says, call Apple.
    But they are really tryin to make it easy to get to Lion or ML ... single user SL disks are now $19 (you would only need that license active until you upgrade to Lion or ML), or 5-user licenses for SL are reduced in price to $29 (in case you need to stay running at SL and want to upgrade more than one computer sometimes in the future).
    Check your system (AppleMenu > About This Mac).  SL requires an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM.  Lion needs Core2Duo or better and 2 GB, ML is a hungry cat and may be more than you want to run, but here are the requirements:
