How to upgrade from OS 10.5.8 Leopard to OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard?

First the newest version of snow leopard is the version 10.6.7
1. What you want to do is check you computer specs to see if it can run snow leopard
     the current specs needed are
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMeservice; fees and terms apply.
2. I would advise you to back up your computers data if you are not currently doing so.
3. Purchase a legal copy of snow leopard from Apple or other certified apple retailers such as best buy and amazon.
4. Insert disk and follow the instructions to install snow leopard on exsiting drive running leopard.
5. When installing snow leopard SHOULD NOT touch your user files such as music or pictures, it should only change the core OS
6. After the snon leopard installation, go to the Apple Menu located on the top left and select software update here you can install the latest verison of the Apple OS

  • Direct Upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.6 Using Mac OS X Snow Leopard Upgrade

    Can I upgrade my MacBook (Intel Core 2 Duo) directly from Mac OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) using the retail upgrade version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

    Apple's site says you need to install Leopard first, then upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  • Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?

    After being tricked by the fast talking smoothy helper at Apple store in London to buy a micky mouse ipodtouch (fourth generation) two years ago I am stuck at ios 4.1 and find that all the useful applications need 4.3 or more. So I went to the trouble of letting the macbook stay open all night to load yet another micky mouse version of itunes so that I can upload the more recent version of ios and now (since I don't want to continually have a lot of rubbish on the ipod I disabled the automatic sync "feature") I can only go round in circles  whereby the only real possibility left is to turn on the autosync feature. I have had messages like "your ipod will be completely erased if you proceed" and "do you wish to fiddle another few days with this nasty system, then click on continue" and so on.
    Does anyone know how to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.3 ios?
    That would be great (maybe) because otherwise I will toss this children's waste product on the floor and set up my HD camera to show how easy it is to smash the brightly lit screen into pieces and relieve myself of trash which Apple sell to unsuspecting gullible humans who believe that they are not being tricked by such a nice company who produce shiny colourful gadgets which only work for a month or two before becoming 100% obsolete.
    Great to hear from those who have wasted many months of their lives and discovered how to trick the system into doing a simple update operation!
    I am insulted by the tricks that fool many and that apple pretend are "necessary".

    Illaass, your help is amazing - miles better than anyone working in this part of the world who is paid - and you do this for free - because, like me, you LOVE to help people!
    BUT, as I said above -
    1. There is nothing "mobile" under Application Support. For whatever reason.
    2. Devious - that Apple has set up iPod to not show in Finder - a red herring and sign that corruption is visible.
    I will try iFunBox next and it sounds like they provide this for the more serious users but use a trivial name to excuse further strangeness.
    After
    There are purchased items on the iPod that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating the iPod. Are you sure you want to continue?
    I get
    Updating to iOS 6.1.5 will backup and restore the apps, media, contacts, notes, and settings on your iPod touch.
    Please do not interrupt the update, which may take an hour or longer to complete.
    Cancel          Update
    And then I wait for hours to arrive at the above mentioned
    Backing up iPod   \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ Stop
    and then as above
    An error occurred while backing up this iPod (0xE8000084). Would you like to continue to update this iPod?
    Continuing will result in the loss of all contents on this iPod.
    Cancel                Continue
    and so we are back to where we always land - the user is left in the Apple designed sabotage situation which annoyed me so much initially.
    "Most users will give up at this point, loose all the data or buy yet another disposable from Apple. Less than 3% will work their way to this site and 90% of the 3% will leave the iPod to gather dust in the hope that someone will help later. In all, Apple gains, since people blame themselves for "mistakes" which Apple programmed to throw out users who do not take the 100% Apple path. But Illaass and myself still play the game of "trying to fix" something which Apple don't allow."  was the comment which I was going to write but decided against it, adding no value to the conversation other than explaining one reality which we all hoped could be wrong but which I thought to have a very high chance of being closer to the truth.
    Apologies for my doubts towards the integrity of the creators.

    Recheck: Under Application Support "mobilesync" folder has appeared (MobileMeSyncClient has also appeared [while again trying to update iPod] with zero size) - Good news, a Backup file is there, but it is only 3GB while my iPod has 32GB and is close to full (800MB free space).

    The iPod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
    More Infomation    OK
    So it looks like I may have lost all the important pictures documenting various items all around Europe for the last two years - luckily I moved a year ago from the iPod toy camera to a Panasonic real camera with SD card which can be read on any computer. Hence important items lost may only be older than one year rather than the most recent items.
    Glad I have changed to Panasonic since they don't try to screw you when you don't use their system.
    I will now check the "more information" rather than just click on "OK" since I am of the 3% who "don't accept cr*p".
    For full information I quote that the iPod now shows a screen with a USB ikon, an upward arrow and an iTunes ikon (all micky mouse language which reduces transparant, clear and technical discussion and thus covers the trail of "where things went wrong").
    The iPod is still attached to the computer but the above MMTALK may mean that the iPod should be attached via USB to the mac. I record much of this activity on Video to be able to later prove EXACTLY what occurred, rather than having to rely on screenshots and opinions. We are after all dealing with important items which may later be required to be shown in court, as evidence against fraudsters.
    The "More Information" link leads to
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    which I have already seen before.
    I clicked on OK and a help screen (unnamed as ever because no one like myself demanded that the help screens be named for later discussion) arrived:
    You can help Apple improve its products a
    while copying this into this message the computer began to start up Final Cut Pro and this was cancelled, then iTunes came up with a message:
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    And I presume the earlier message about helping Apple is gone because I keep getting interrupted by this message called
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    it has appeared now at least six times interferring with anything else I do. Each time I try to write, this message appears and blocks, but only when I write. I tried to do a carriage return and the message appeared taking the carriage return as acceptance of the OK in the
    iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.
    ok
    Message. But since I have not removed the USB and keep returning to this message I am able to write for a few seconds (now 30 seconds or more) and the message remains on the screen but not blocking this conversation. It appears to be random but in fact as you can later see from the video, it is not reappearing each periodic number of seconds but as I reach a new comment.
    I will try to close iTunes so that this can be stopped (I clicked on OK and it appeared another few times, each time I clicked on ok and now it has left me in peace to write here although iTunes is still not yet closed).
    Difficult to log down all the strange behaviour but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.
    2014 01 12 12 49 27
    Should I remove the iPod and stop iTunes? I have a nasty feeling turning to indifference since I have video footage which will verify all the above in a court of law if later required. The truth must always win over any devious attempts at forcing people to do things they don't want to ;-)

  • How to upgrade from 10.1.5 to 10.2?

    Can anyone out there let me know how to upgrade from 10.1.5 to 10.2? I'm trying to use my new digital camera and I need a minimum of 10.2.
    Please email me with the answer.
    Thanks!

    Hi, Jen. An OS upgrade to any version higher than 10.1.5 will have to be purchased. After buying OS 10.2.x (Jaguar), 10.3.x (Panther), or 10.4.x (Tiger), you will then be able to apply free downloadable updaters to get you to 10.2.8, 10.3.9, or the current 10.4.5 — whatever is the end-stage evolution of the cat you bought.
    For universal installers of Jaguar and Panther, which Apple no longer sells, try http://www.hardcoremac.com or http://www.apple-rescue.com. Tiger is available everywhere.

  • Need information on how to upgrade from 10.5.8 to make computer compatable to iphone upgrade of 11.5.1

    hi everyone:  I require some information on how to upgrade from 10.5.8 to make my mackbook pro compatable
    with the iphone upgrade. Please note that I have gone thru the upgrades on this computer and it tells me there are
    no new ones available...... I need to get my upgrade past the 11.5.1 level.....so do I need to purchase a new
    upgrade program....and if so which one...as I have been thru the apple store and so far as i can tell
    the ones that are listed such as maverik, lion and snow lepard are not high enough. 
    To anyone who replies, thankyou so much for taking the time to help me.  It is truely appreciated.

    11.1.5 is likely to be the version of iTunes you are being asked to run, not the version of Mac OS X.
    To get a higher version of iTunes, you likely have to upgrade Mac OS X. All Roads lead through the 10.6 Upgrade, available as a physical DVD only, from the Apple Online store for about US$20:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    This is one of the most benign Upgrades Apple has ever issued. The size of the Operating System gets smaller, performance is slightly faster, and very few Applications are left behind. If you have some older PowerPC Applications, you may need to ask to install the Optional Rosetta emulator for PowerPC code when you install.
    Once your 10.6 install is fully Updated to 10.6.8 using Software Update, the Mac App Store will appear, and future upgrades (if needed) will be handled through variations of online purchases.

  • How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2

    How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2?

    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.
    Unless you previously got an installer for Mac OS X 10.7 through 10.7.2, you can only upgrade to a newer version.

    You do not need Netweaver 7.2 CE for using NWBC 3.0. You just need netweaver 7.02.

  • When/How to Upgrade from Tiger 10.4?

    Hi,
    I am wondering when I should be thinking about upgrading to a newer version from 10.4 which I bought a couple of years ago. So a couple of questions:
    1. How often should I be upgrading to newer versions?
    2. If I should upgrade, do I upgrade to the newest version or a later version, i.e. Snow Leopard?
    3. I am about to set up my first external 500GB hard drive, should I do that first, back up the hard drive and then upgrade?
    Thanks for educating me.

    PharmCharm:
    Your Intel iMac will support the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard as well as Leopard. I would suggest Snow Leopard, partly because it is easier to obtain and also because it is a serious upgrade from Leopard. It occupies less disk capacity and is a bit faster. It supports 64-bit, if that makes a difference to you. Neither Leopard nor Snow Leopard, support Classic, so if you have apps that need Classic your options are to stay with Tiger, or install OS 9 on an external drive.
    How often should I be upgrading to newer versions?
    As often as you wish and your hardware will support. Staying current means you have an OS that is supported. The downside is that you may have apps that are not supported in later versions of OS X and you will need to update, if any are available.
    If I should upgrade, do I upgrade to the newest version or a later version, i.e. Snow Leopard?
    I responded to this earlier. If you have questions about it, please post back.
    I am about to set up my first external 500GB hard drive, should I do that first, back up the hard drive and then upgrade?
    I think that is a good plan. You should have a good backup before upgrading should things not work out as planned.

  • How can upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 .

    how can upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 . I have no CD of any form.

    If you do indeed have a Mac Pro according to Apple menu -> About This Mac, there is no reason why you can't go straight to 10.6.8:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
    Above that, read this tip:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271
    It is cheaper than 10.5, and will give you more compatibility with more software that is current.
    PowerMac G5, G4 867 Mhz or higher (1 Ghz is higher), Powerbook G4 867 Mhz or higher, iBook, iMac G5, iMac G4 1 Ghz higher, eMac 1 Ghz or higher
    can all only go up as high as 10.5.8, but also lose compatibility with Classic.  Some of those machines can dual boot Mac OS 9 from 2001 & Mac OS X 10.5 as this article says:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1757
    800 Mhz and less, including dual processors are stuck with 10.4.11.

  • How to upgrade from 4.23 to 5

    how can upgrade from ios 4.23 to 5 easily, i couldn't able to access most of the application....

    You plug it into your computer running iTunes and update it that way.
    When was the last time you bothered to sync it? You should have been told about a number of new updates and given the chance to update for quite a while.
    Unless, of course, you do NOT have a 3GS, but you actually have a 3G, and are running 4.2.1.  In that case, you don't update at all. That's as far as the 3G can go. It was discontinued almost 3 years ago.
