How to upgrade imac os x 10.5.8 to 10.6

i just bought i phone 5 yesterday, i cannot connect to itunes, it demands me to upgrade the version imac 10.5.8 to 10.6. Can you help me? Can i get the software online?

If you have a PowerPC Mac, it can't be upgraded.
If you have an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

    Where did it say that? If your computer meets the requirements you can install Snow Leopard and then install Lion via the Mac App store. They both cost $30

  • How to upgrade RAM in iMac 2013 models

    how to upgrade RAM in iMac 2013 models. I know one can ask for RMm upgrade while buying iMAC from online store. Is it advisable to upgrade the RAM by self or from some professional?

    Even if you do get the 27",  RAM installation is a PTA to install.  Prior to setting up your computer on your desk, you must lay it it face down on a soft area (couch).  Then you have to maneuver your hand & fingers either around or under the pedal to pop open the RAM door.  When putting the RAM into the slots you need to use all of your God given muscles to get them in there.  Otherwise, while you are seating one RAM, the one next to it will pop right on out. 
    When you hear the "snap," the RAM is seated properly and it's neighbor(s) will not pop out.

  • Upgrading iMac G5 from 10.3.9 to higher OSX

    I have an iMac G5 running on OSX 10.3.9 and am finding that a lot of the new printers, scanners, etc. need 10.4 or higher to connect and run through the iMac. I currently have 45.3 GB of free space on the Mac. Could you tell me how to upgrade to a higher OSX and should I go to the newest OSX version or would the 10.4 or 5 work OK? Thanks very much for any advice!

    You can upgrade to Tiger or Leopard depending upon whether your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
    System requirements for Leopard
    You must have a Macintosh computer with:
    an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
    a DVD drive
    built-in FireWire
    at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
    a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    Tiger requires a minimum of 256 MBs of installed RAM and does not have a CPU speed restriction.
    You will have to purchase a retail installer package. Since Apple no longer sells either you will need to look for a third-party vendor on eBay or by searching Google.

  • HT4561 how to upgrade operating system from 10.5.8 to mountain lion

    How do upgrade my I MAC from MAC OS X ro Mountain lion?

    To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard by calling the phone number in the Apple Online Store: 800-MY-APPLE (in the US)
    Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
    Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
    Make sure your system meets the requirements for Mountain Lion:
    Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" System Requirements
    To install Mountain Lion, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (RAM)
    8 GB or more of available hard disk space
    If your system does not support Mountain Lion's requirements, you may be able to upgrade to Lion. To do that you must call Apple again to order a download code. Redeem the download code in the App Store to download Lion. Lion costs 99¢ more than Snow Leopard.
    Make sure your system meets the requirements for Lion:
    Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion" System Requirements
    Mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon CPU
    Core Duo CPUs are not sufficient for Lion
    2GB of memory (RAM)
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    To determine which Mac you have, what kind of CPU it uses, and how much memory is installed:  > About this Mac
     The specified 2 GB minimum is barely adequate for either Lion or ML. They will run in 2 GB but you may not like its performance. 4 GB is a more realistic minimum.

  • How to upgrade OS X v10.5 to OS X v10.6?

    i"ve an old Imac running on OS X v10.5.8, Any advice how to upgrade to OS X v10.6 Snow would be invaluable.
    Thanks

    The last time I checked an Apple Store may have been a month or two ago, but not only did they not have any Snow Leopard DVDs, they had no DVDs, CDs, or any other kind of Ds of anything whatsoever. I asked.
    Get it. Its predecessor OS, Leopard, is not available from anyone, anywhere, for anything less than a King's ransom. That's a hint.

  • Upgrade iMac to Lion OS for iCloud.

    I'm so confused I'm trying to get the iCloud on my iMac but it's saying I don't have the right Lion OS X. so I tried to download it but it's saying I need another version first, well I can't find that version and have NO idea how do upgrade now. HELP!

    Just to confirm you're running OS X Lion (10.7.2) go to the Apple menu, top left and select 'About this Mac'. At the top it should say Max OS X Version 10.7.2 (or maybe 10.7/10.7.1 if you haven't updated via software update lately).
    If it confirms Lion is installed look at System Preferences and it should have an iCloud icon, like this (3rd row of Sys Prefs):
    If it has, have a look here for getting started: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/getstarted/

  • HT201318 how to upgrade icloud storage plan with  10.6.8?

    I haven't upgraded my computer software, so how to upgrade my icloud storege plan as when inside system preferences
    there is no icloud icon just the old mobile me. Thanks

    You can only do this from a Mac running 10.7.5 or above, or Mountain Lion; or an iOS5 or above device; or the iCloud Control Panel on a compliant version of Windows.
    If you only have access to the Mac and don't want to upgrade the system you could go to an Apple Store and ask the 'Genius' to do it for you (make an apppointment). Note that you won't be able to cancel the automatic renewal yourself .
    If you decide to upgrade your Mac you will need to check that it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
    and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
