How update my macbook air from OS X 10.5.8 to newest OS

how I can update my MacBook Air from OS X 10.5.8 to newer OS avalaible

You can't directly upgrade from 10.5 - call Apple and purchase 10.6. Back up your computer and install 10.6. I'm not sure what version of 10.6 you'll get - you may need to download an update to 10.6 before you can upgrade to 10.8 because the App Store wasn't part of the original 10.6 - it came with the 10.6.8 update if I remember properly. Once you've upgraded to 10.6 and have the App store you can upgrade to 10.8.

    How do i update my Macbook Air 10.6.8 to a newer version

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click here, and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as Microsoft Office 2004.

  • HT1338 how do i update my macbook pro from 10.5.8 to the latest software? also please let me know what do i have to do to save my files from being deleted when updating? thank you

    how do i update my macbook pro from 10.5.8 to the latest software?

    First you have to purchase Snow Leopard, 10.6, from the Apple on-line store for $20.  Install and on-line software update from the disk version to the last of the line, 10.6.8.
    Then determine if you can go to Mountain Lion, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs and if you can go to the App Store and purchase for $20 the download of 10.8.3.
    If you cannot go to ML, see if you can go to Lion, 10.7.5, do you have an Intel Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor at least 2 GB ram and 7 GB free hard drive space.  If so you can purchase a download code for Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE for $20.
    If you can use Mountain Lion, skip the Lion step and go directly to ML.

    If you didn't purchase the extended warranty, AppleCare, you are not entitled to any repairs free of charge once the 1 year warranty expires.

    Then take it back and buy one from an Apple Store.
    Open System Profiler and look at the Model ID. It should read MBA 6,2.
    The identifiers are:

  • Since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg

    since updating my macbook air with OS X mavericks i can't send emails smtp account failed my email host is 123reg any ideas how to sort it out?

    I am having the same issue with Media Temple Email.
    My problem in more detail is:
    Adding my Media Temple Hosted domain email to a desktop service on my Macbook Air.
    I have tried this on both Mac Mail and Thunderbird.
    I add the account manually and have checked, double checked, triple checked the server addresss and also the user name and password and they are correct.
    I have altered the ports from being default to custom and have tried both SSL and non SSL and still it is unable to connect to the SMTP server.
    IMAP inbox is working as I recieve mails but can not send them.
    I have chatted to Media Temple and they say it must be something to do with the hardware of the MacBook Air which to start with I disagreed with but I have since tried adding the email to my Mac Mini and it works fine.
    I am assuming their is an issue in the MacBook Air with the SMTP ports and I would really appreciate some advice on how to fix this as I don't want to use Webmail for ever.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Updated my Macbook Air to Yosemite and now IMessage won't open pictures

    I updated my Macbook Air to Yosemite a few days ago and since then IMessage has been acting up. It won't let open pictures now. A picture comes through titled "IMG_2882" but when I click on it, it comes up with a description of the image - the type of image, when it was last modified, etc. I click the 'Open with Preview" option and nothing happens. I'm regretting updating to Yosemite now. Is anyone else having this issue? I have no idea how to fix it. Please let me know if you have any ideas! Thank you!

    If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

  • Mavericks update for MacBook Air

    Since updating my MacBook Air software last week, I have slow internet connectivity and I am also finding it almost impossible to connect to FB.  The mobile app is working fine.

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

    After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

    Mar 15, 2014 9:05 AM (in response to Terence Devlin)
    Got it! Thanx.  What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.
