Can i upgrade from mac os x v10.4.11 to snow leopar or do i have to buy leopard

If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard you do not need leopard.
Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Doctor Wagner.
    I suggest starting a new topic with your question. Usually topics focus on just a single person's question. People may skip this topic if they don't think they have anything to contribute but those people might know the answer to your question which would be more noticeable in its own topic. This especially applies to topics that have been marked as solved.
    Announcement: How to Post a new Topic - [http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=650]
    In addition, Snow Leopard will not work in all computers that are running Tiger. Make sure you double check those specifications.

  • I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8

    I keep getting my browser is no longer supported. how can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6.8 . Any help would be appreciated

    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.

    can I upgrade from mac os x 10.6 to Mavericks ?

    If you have previously downloaded Mavericks, and if your computer is compatible: see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    Otherwise, Mavericks is no longer available for download.

  • Can I upgrade from mac OSX 10.6.8 to 10.8?

    Can I upgrade from mac OSX 10.6.8 to 10.8?

    Same list as stedman1, but uses model numbers which is slightly more accurate.
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.         Application Compatibility
    If you have applications that you want to use that aren’t compatible, you can retain Snow Leopard and create a new partition to install Mountain Lion on or you can run Snow Leopard  server in a virtual mode.
    If your computer isn't compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.        Computer Compatibility - Lion
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.

  • HT1338 Can I upgrade from Tiger (10.4) to Lion (10.7)

    Can I upgrade from Tiger (10.4) to Lion (10.7) without purchasing and installing Leopard (10.5) and Snow Leopard (10.6)?
    The spects on this MacBook5,1 is MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)

    You can't.
    In order to get Lion you must be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    To get there you must purchase the Snow Leopard install DVD from Apple
    Then update to 10.6.8 which will give you the App Store to purchase Lion
    Since Lion is no longer available on the App Store, you will have to call Apple and purchase a code to download it from the App Store
