HT1338 how do i get from OS X 10.5.8 to mountain lion?

that's the whole question. how do i get from 10.5.8 to mountain lion?

Assuming you're in the United States:
1) Make sure your machine can run Mountain Lion:
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
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)
2) Purchase a copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard by calling Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE. If they do not have it available, try Apple Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775.
3) After you've installed Snow Leopard, update to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
4) Purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store.

How do I move from os x 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

How do I upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

You have enough memory, however it can be bumbed up to 8GB
(2-4GB modules) 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
You have a Intel Core 2 Duo and a old NVIDIA GeForce 9400M, so 10.8 is going to run slow.
10.6.8 max would be best for that machine as it's 4 years old, in it's near end of life stage.
If you backup your files off the machine to a Storage Drive, then erase and install 10.6 fresh from the disk, the machine will run very fast, because 10.6 has updated video drivers.
Most commonly used backup methods
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
You can then choose to go to 10.8 from there, but it's not going to be as fast as 10.6 is.
If you upgrade 10.6 over 10.5, then go to 10.8, your machine is going to crawl really bad, so somewhere you have to do a fresh install to get your performance.
You will have to call Apple via phone and order the 10.6.3 white retail disks, they only take phone orders for that disk now.

Tap to click not working properly in Mountain Lion. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

The tap to click does not work with mountain lion as it did before the mountain lion install. I purchased a brand new imac in August of 2011 and got a wireless keyboard and selected the wireless trackpad instead of a mouse. The trackpad worked wonderful pre upgrade with tap to click. Now after the install of the newest beast, I have to actually press the trackpad rather than a slight tap. I have carpel tunnel and this is causing great stress upon my hand. How do I get apple to fix this major issue with mountain lion?

Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
I have an imac purchased in Aug. 2011 which came with Lion 10.6 (two uprades before mountain lion)
Recently, I just purchased a macbook pro retina with Mountain Lion
On my imac, my settings allowed me to "tap to click" everything EXCEPT the initial log in at the star up of my imac, again running Lion 10.6
On my macbook pro retina which has Mountain Lion, I set up the "tap to click" option, but notice that a "hard" click was neccessary when trying to click things. I thought this was a macbook thing (my first one) so I went and upgraded my imac to Mountain LIon, BIG MISTAKE! Now both my imac AND my macbook only have limited "tap to click" options. Before mountain lion I could "tap" to highlight and select text, tap and drag, and many other thiings that Mountain Lion has disabled.
I am truly surprised that no one has noticed this MAJOR issue.
Is there a way to uninstall this update, similar to how on a PC you can go back to a restore point.
On another note even the way PREVIEW has changed is less user friendly, there used to be icons on the bottom right corner of the screen, now I have to double tap and select the option I would like to switch between contacts and thumbnails. This is really annoying and is causing me time when reviewing files.
Just in case anyone was wondering, I did go to system preferences -> trackpad -> select tap to click
In fact almost all of the trackpad functions have been selected.

How can I update from Os X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8.4?

I am trying to update my Mac from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion 10.8.4. I have read online that I can no longer buy Mountain Lion from the App Store, and that I must purchase Mac X Maverick instead, but cannot find that on the App Store either. All I want to use this eBay computer for is for iTunes radio, which needs OS X 10.7 or greater. Could someone point me in the right direction for updating? I'm a grandma, fer Pete's sake! : ) Thanks to anyone who can help me.

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.

How can I get Mac Mini to accept bootable installers for Mountain Lion ? They work fine on MB-Pro

I've had a Mac Mini (late 2012) for the past week and need to do a complete reinstall to get rid of very mucked up Server.app settings that I can't get rid of even though I uninstalled Server.app and what I thought were all of its Library files. I need to get the Mac Mini back to pristine, factory default to start over. Then I'll be able to put Server.app into a VM so I can trash it if need be without mucking up the rest of my system.
I have both a bootable recovery partition on an external hard drive (My Book firewire) and a USB bootable installer with a fresh edition of Mountain Lion. I know the USB installer works just fine because I used it to do a clean install of my MacBook-Pro just last night. Went like a charm.
When I start up the Mac Mini with the option key held down, everything seems fine -- I see both the USB drive and the My Book's 2 volumes (1 for data, 1 for the Recovery partition). But when I select either the USB drive or the My Book Recovery partition as the start-up drive, I get a screen with a circle with a line across (the no-entry traffic sign), with no way to go back or forward. So the computer has to be rebooted.
Any suggestions as to how to get the Mac Mini to recognize bootable installers that MacBooks are able to see?

Late 2012 Mac mini uses a special Mountain Lion version that it's only compatible with this Mac and you can only get on Internet Recovery because it's not available in the App Store. If you want to reinstall Mountain Lion, press Command, Option and R keys while your computer is starting

HT1338 How do I update Mac OS X 10.4.11 to Mountain Lion?

I would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion but all installation apps require OS X 10.5 or greater.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them. It can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater, and then try buying Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.

How do I get from Oracle Database 8.1.7.0.0 to 8.1.7.2?

How do I get from Oracle Database 8.1.7.0.0 to 8.1.7.2? There is a patchset that fixes a bug in 8.1.7 for memory leaks that I need installed. I am currently running on a WindowsNT Server with a Oracle Database version of 8.1.7.0.0. Is going to 8.1.7.2 a complete release upgrade, or is there a smaller upgrade to get there, and how do I get the files required>
Thanks,

Hi,
Sorry for my english
For Windows NT, the last big patchset is 8.1.7.4.x. I advice you to use the last patchset. A patchet is not a upgrade or a migrate. the installation is in two phase. Phase One:Patch the files in the oracle home with Oracle Universal Installer (Oui) and Phase Two: execute sql files on the dictionnary of each database. There is a readme with the patch.
you can get files on metalink if you have a account (metalink.oracle.com).

Hi I'm new to Mac & I have bootcamp on it but am stuck, how do I get from Mac side to the Window side?

Hold the "option" key on boot. Choose the system to boot.
Then "System Preferences > Startup Disk" to select Max OSX as your default system.
There is another "system preferences" in the Windows menu that is added by bootcamp to make it the default, but I do not know the details of that.
