HT1338 Can I jump from version 10.5.8 (leopard) to lion? or do I have to purchase each operating system to get there?

I'm attempting to upgrade for a game, I am currently running mac os 10.5.8 and I need a minimum of mac os 10.6.8 to run Diablo 3

Unless you install with a USB flash drive you have to have Snow Leopard running on the computer to be bale to connect to Apple to download Lion.
Make sure your computer is capable of running Lion.

Depending upon the exact specifications of your Mac you might just want to stick with Snow Leopard. An old computer might be able ot run Lion but would be much happier with an older system version.
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 - note by K Shaffer - http://discussions.apple.com/message/12921514 : "Some early Intel-based Macs can't use Snow Leopard 10.6 installers; of those, the Core Duo (not 2 duo) were suspect and had issues." - and a qualifier by "a brody" http://discussions.apple.com/message/13028822 : "I think that refers to the ones without at least 1 GB of RAM."
Macs and Software that will run with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.x) - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
By the way, you posted this in the forum for OSX 10.3 and earlier. You'll get a faster response from people particularly familiar with an issue if you post in the correct forum (in your case the Leopard forum).

I'm scared. Can you help? I can't jump from here to there.

Dear Apple MobileMe
I am very eager to make the move from MobileMe to iCloud, but...
As you can see from your own email, this is far from simple
My wife and I totally depend on my Macbook Pro (1), my old Powerbook that my wife uses (2), our iPhones (3 & 4), our iPad (5), my Time Machine, and my MobileMe (6), including Backups to our iDisk on MobileMe to keep our lives running.
iCal's synced across 6 Apple platforms
Address Books synced across 6 Apple platforms
Email synced across 6 Apple platforms (me using Mail and wife using AOL)
Bookmarks synced across 6 Apple platforms
Various apple ID's synced across 6 Apple platforms
You get the picture
I would hate to mess this delicately balanced Apple computer ecosystem up at all.
iOS 10.7 requires that I upgrade a bunch of my key work apps and figure out a way to transfer a 10 year dependence on Quicken onto some other equally robust financial management platform that doesn't seem to exist. Just to add insult to potential injury.
I'm scared.
Wish this whole process could be 500% more automated.
We've been on Macs and other Apple devices since 1987. I can't keep track of all of my "Apple ID's" for this and that that you've asked me to set up for each device and for each service over the years. Everything's registered with you.
Devices
MobileMe email aliases
iTunes
iDisk
App Store
AppleCare(s)
MobileMe
Apple.com support (here)
Apple ProCare
Apple iDisk Public folder
etc.
etc.
You should be able to gather all of my identities together into one place and figure out the best way to migrate me to the new Apple iCloud Garden of Eden.
You've got to find a way to help us work all this out. It's more than intimidating. We're frozen in fear. We just can't jump from here to there.

iCloud is here Dear MobileMe member,
iCloud is here and you can now make the transition from MobileMe. You can move your
MobileMe mail, contacts, calendars, and bookmarks to iCloud, and keep your me.com and
mac.com email addresses. iCloud is a breakthrough set of free cloud services, including iTunes in the Cloud, Photo Stream
and Documents in the Cloud, that works seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or
PC to store your content in iCloud and push it to all your devices. When content changes on one
device, all your other devices are updated automatically and wirelessly.
Making the Move
Before moving to iCloud, make sure that your iOS devices and computers have the required
software and your data is properly backed up by following these steps:
Get iTunes 10.5.
Download iTunes 10.5 to your Mac or PC.
Update your devices to iOS 5.
Update your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to iOS 5 by connecting each
device to your Mac or PC and following the instructions in iTunes.
When you are asked to provide your Apple ID during iOS setup, use
your MobileMe email address and password.
Update your computers.Mac: Update to OS X Lion v10.7.2PC: Update to Windows 7 or Windows Vista Service Pack 2 andinstall the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
Back up your MobileMe data.
For detailed instructions, review this article.
Verify your contacts and bookmarks.
Verify that your contacts and bookmarks are completely up to date on
at least one device you will use with iCloud. They will be uploaded to
iCloud from your devices after you move. iCloud will not copy any
contacts or bookmarks directly from me.com.
When you are ready, go to me.com/move and follow the instructions to move your account to
iCloud.
Important Notes
If your me.com or mac.com email address is used with more than one Apple ID, you may be
unable to access some iCloud services. If this occurs, you can remove duplicate email
addresses from your other Apple IDs by visiting My Apple ID. You can also use different Apple IDs for iCloud and your Store purchases (including iTunes,
App Store and iBookstore). For more information and detailed instructions, review this article. You can make the move from MobileMe to iCloud anytime between now and June 30, 2012. For
answers to some of the most common questions about the transition, see the MobileMe
transition FAQ. Sincerely,
Apple
iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer
with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is
required for accessing email, contacts and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features
are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices. Previous purchases may be
unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
MobileMe is a service provided by Apple • Terms of Service • Privacy Policy
Copyright © 2011 Apple Inc. • 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014
You are receiving this email from Apple to notify you of service information regarding your MobileMe account.

This is a user-to-user forum: you aren't talking to Apple here.
I do sympathize with your situation: you are among many for whom upgrading is impracticable, but who are dependent on MobileMe facilities which will be withdrawn next June.
As you say, you will need 10.7.2 to access iCloud on a Mac, and iOS5 for mobile devices.
I can't offer you any easy solutions, but this list may at least clarify the exact situation for you:
Your email, calendars, contacts and bookmarks, and 'Find my iPhone' will be migrated to iCloud.
Your iDisk, together with website hosting and Gallery. will continue to work as before until next June.
You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email.
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is).

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?

Can I upgrade from version 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 in order to access mobileme?

Can I upgrade from version Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.8 in order to access mobileme?, If so, how would I accomplish this action? I have already created a web site using iweb which came with my I-Mac (3 or 4 years old), and noe need to publish it on mobileme.

If you machine meets the minimum for Snow Leopard (10.6.x) then it would be easier to buy that. If the machine is capable I'd recommend upgrading to Snow Leopard. It's going to be difficult and more expensive to get Leopard. Here are the minimum spec's for Snow Leopard:
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.

Can I Upgrade from version 5 to the latest?

Can I upgrade from version 5 ..... want to install on new 64bit machine but have lost CD ..... what are the options.
Message title was edited by: Brett N

There is never an upgrade "patch" to change an old version to a new version. Each version of PSE is an independent, full program installation.
Your options are:
Find the best price you can for a "full" version of PSE10 and purchase and install that.
Wait a while until the new PSE11 is released and purchase and install that.

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion? Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

I think you are missing my point.
For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600

Can't print from Intel Mac w/Snow Leopard to HP 2600. Upgraded from OS 10.4 and printer showed on printer list along with an Epson scanner. but continually shows printer as offline. I finally deleted the HP Color Laserjet 2600n from the printer list. When I attempted to re-install it, it doesn't find the printer at all. I haven't attempted to use the scanner. I also went to HP and downloaded the driver, no luck. I've restarted the computer multiple times, tried it with the printer on, and printer off, as well as pulled the usb cable in and out both ends. No error message on the printer display and it gpes through normal warmup until it shows the green light. I run software update and it shows no updates needed. Help!

When you press print the first window is pretty basic.
When you select print on that the next window should have an advanced option.
Click that and see if any of the options in the 3rd dropdown box allow you to specify the 'paper tray'.
AC "
In this new windaow, click "advanced", go to "paper type/quality" and choose " best" and a photo paper. Then you will be able to choose a paper source (photo tray).
Once you have these settings, under presets do "save as", and you can choose the preset instead of going to advanced.
If you have the latest software and drivers downloaded from HP, this will work.

Jailbreaking violates the Apple warranty and licensing agreement and voids ALL support from Apple. No one on here can help you as doing so is a violation of the Terms of Use of these Communities. If you send the iPad to Apple they will just send it back to you as they are not permitted to work on a machine that has been jailbroken.

I have a problem that I can not load or even close the download in iTunes, it turns out I have hanging in the mode, and because of that I can't download from AppStore, because it turns out that the other programs I have on standby. What do I do? Thank you

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.
