HT1338 how to update macbook version Mac Os X 10.5.8 to newer version?

I have a MacBook version Mac Os X 10.5.8.
How to I update it to a newer version so I will be able to connect my iPhone to my itunes.

For the iPhone 5 you need at least iTunes 10.7 for installing it you need at least Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.
This Version of OS X ist called Snow Leopard, Snow Leopard is also the first Version where you can use the AppStore for Mac so for Updating to Mountain Lion.

  • How to update macbook, version OS X 10.5.8 what next version?

    how to update macbook version the current software is OS X 10.5.8 what next version?
    have snow loepard v6 on usb stick but doesnt seem to work?
    any ideas?

    When you hold down the Option key when you hear the starting chime does the USB stick show up as a viable start-up disk? If not then you may have to buy and use the DVD.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    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.

  • HT1338 Update MacBook version 10.5? compatibility issues?

    If I update MacBook version 10.5 to a newer version, will I have compatibility issues with opening existing documents on my computer? Also, how can I convert files created in Pages to make them compatible with PC users?   When I save as a PDF, others can open it, but not manipulate it.

    Hi Tricia,
    Depends how far up you upgrade, are you thinking 10.6, 10.7, 10.8?
    For PDF editing, they/you'd need something like Adobe Acrobat Pro or PDF Pen, but not a great option in my mind, what else does Pages save in for choices?

    How to update a version 6.0 of Acrobat Reader Professional when upgrading windows XP to 8.1 ?

    There is no product called Acrobat Reader Professional. There are two possibilities with different answers.
    1. You have Acrobat Professional (no "Reader"). You will have to buy the latest, Acrobat 11 (XI) Pro. No upgrade pricing is available for version 8.
    2. You have Adobe Reader (no "Professional"). You can download the latest free Adobe Reader http://get.adobe.com/reader

  • HT4623 how to update from version 4.1 to 6.0

    how to update from version 4.1 to 6.0

    What do you mean unlocked one?  You are talking about software updates here and software updates are free and for a 3gs you can only update to 6.1.3 as you have already been told.
    If you are talking about phones themselves, then this is totally different and you need to be more specific or get your question right.
    There is no unlocked software update - it s free.

  • HT1338 how do i upgrade my Mac OS X version 10.5.8

    how do i upgrade my Mac OS X version 10.5.8?

    If your Macbook has an Intel processor, you can first upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
    You need to purchase that from the Apple retail Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If you are not in the US, use the flag button at the bottom of the page to change to your country's store.
    Depending on they type of Intel macbook it is, you may be able to upgrade further to Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Open About this Mac from the Apple menu.
    Then, click on More Info.
    Select the Hardware heading and llok at the Model Identifier.
    I can't remember if it was called that or if that OS had a hardware section, but you are looking for something like macbook5,1
    If that first number is less than a 5, you can't go any further than Lion. Unless there is something in Lion you need, I would stick with Snow Leopard.
    If the first number is a 5 or greater, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion. Once you have installed 10.6 and updated it to 10.6.8, you can purchase and install Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store (which is available in the Apple menu of OS X 10.6.8 or later).
    However, if you want to go beyond Snow Leopard, make sure you purchase enough RAM to have at least 4GB. Any less than that would not be pleasant.
    Additionally, Mavericks, 10.9, is due to be released this fall. You may want to wait until then and just upgrade to that instead of Mountain Lion (10.8).  Either way, you will need to purchase and install 10.6 from DVD. You need to keep that disk if you ever need to reinstall the OS.

  • ITunes won't open after update; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5

    iTunes won't open after update - help, please; MacBook Pro, Mac OSX 10.6.8, iTunes version 11.1.5.

    i had a problem similar to yours and better yet, i have the fix for it. i downloaded maverick 4 months ago and was without itunes ever since. all itunes icon did was bounce. itunes would never open and whats more, is when i would try to update it, i would get a "thank you for downloading itunes!" page , but the download would never work. so i scoured the net for solves. nothing that worked. <4 months later> then last night i took a new approach. i decided even though maverick would not allow me to uninstall itunes, i would find a way to uninstall itunes. then i would reinstall back to 11.1.5 i was successful and heres what i did.
    step one-
    Back up your iTunes Library.itl file, found under ~/Music/iTunes
    (even tho i didnt, i only had 3 artists in there at the time. and they didnt get erased but i advise you back up just in case.)
    step two-
    download itunes 10.7 from apple. i used this link Download it from Apple here
    (i pulled the link from Aarons website (awesometast.com). you download 10.7 however you want but i used the link above and have had no issues).
    although im not sure you need to do this step ( you may be able to download 11.1.5 itunes without 10.7, i did because i was following intructions from http://awesometoast.com/downgrading-to-itunes-10-7-from-itunes-11-on-osx/
    step 3-
    open Terminal
    step 4-
    enter in these 3 commands hitting return after each line. 1st line nothing seems to happen, 2nd line nothing seems to happen and 3rd line gives you a warning and requires password to continue. when i did it, my password didnt appear as i entered it and i hit return without looking, so i entered it in again, although im not sure i had to the 2nd time.
    killall iTunes
    killall "iTunes Helper"
    sudo rm -rf /Applications/iTunes.app/
    step 5-
    drag off and dump the itunes icon (which now has the ? shadow in it) off your dock.
    step 6-
    install 10.7 itunes you downloaded earlier. (not sure if this part is neccesary. you may be able to just download 11.1.5 but i downloaded 10.7 because i was following Aarons steps.) itunes now works.
    step 7-
    go to apple and update to 11.1.5 itunes. install it. open it and you have itunes 11.1.5 in perfect working order. assuming you have a decent internet speed for the downloads, the whole process takes very little time.
    with those steps above, you can solve itunes just bouncing and not launching issues and also the "thank you for downloading" and nothing downloads issue. enjoy. also i would like to give a shout out to http://awesometoast.com and thank Aaron for the knowledge that enabled me to get itunes back into my life.

  • HT1338 how to update my macbook

    how to update and new version for my macbook 10.5.8

    First check if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:

    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • HT1338 How to upgrade MacBook Pro from OS 10.5 (Leopard) to Mountain Lion?

    How do I upgrade a MacBook Pro from OS 10.5 (Leopard) to Mountain Lion?  Do I need to upgrade in stages, i.e. to Snow Leopard, then to Lion, then to Mountain Lion, or can it be a more direct route?
    R.

    Hi Richard,
    You need at least 10.6.6 installed to get & use the App store for purchase & download, & just read that Lion/10.7 is no longer available!???
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It looks like they might still have it...
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
    It's been reported that if you have a MobileMe account, it may be free from Apple. 
    If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
    Lion/101.7 System requirements
        •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
        •    At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
        •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
        •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

    What applications are not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"?
    http://ow.ly/5Iz09
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Macs that will support OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion
    As usual, the newer the Mac the better:
    • MacBook Pro – 13″ from mid 2009 or later, 15″ from late 2007 and newer, 17″ from late 2007 and newer
    • MacBook Air – late 2008 and newer
    • iMac – models from mid 2007 and newer
    • MacBook – 13″ aluminum from 2008, 13″ from 2009 and newer
    • Mac Mini – early 2009 and newer
    • Mac Pro – early 2008 models and newer
    • XServe – early 2009 models and newer
    Macs that are NOT expected to support OS X Mountain Lion
    Older Macs and those with weaker GPU’s will likely be left behind:
    • Anything with an Intel GMA 950 or x3100 integrated graphics card
    • Anything with an ATI Radeon X1600
    • MacBook models released prior to 2008
    • Mac Mini released prior to 2007
    • iMac models released prior to 2007
    • Original MacBook Air
    This list of compatible and incompatible Macs and system requirements are based off of the first OS X Mountain Lion Developer Preview and may be subject to change, we will update when we learn more about the specifics. OS X Mountain Lion will be released this summer but presumably long before that we will know precise system requirements and what Macs are and are not supported by the new version of OS X. Stay tuned.

  • How to update MacBook Pro system10.6.8 to 10.7.5

    I Need to update MacBook Pro 1.1 Intel Core Duo, Memory 2 GB, speed 2 GHZ 667  MHZ Boot Ram Version.  I would like to use Turbo Tax but it apparently does not support 10.6.8.  And the printer also supports only from10.7.5 x-10.8x,10.9. I have copied all my Microsoft doc from Version 2004.  I appreciate any help you can give me.

    Sorry, but your model cannot run Lion or later. A Mac Pro 1,1 can run Lion. Maybe that's what you have confused with your MacBook Pro. Your's is an obsolete model with a Core Duo processor. Running any version of OS X requires a Core 2 Duo processor. See these following requirements.
    Upgrading to Lion
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
          1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
