    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:

    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.

  • If I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 can I upgrade directly to Lion without purchasing Snow Leopard?

    Hi,
    I have MAC OS X LEOPARD and I wanted to upgrade to the new Lion Software when it comes out in July. Question is, do I have to buy first the Snow Leopard version and the Lion, or can i skip the Snow Leopard version and buy the new one directly?

    10.6.x by default does what we used to call an Archive & Install, just new OS, all your personal files & settings are retained, same with 10.7, so it'll be...
    1. Install 10.6
    2. upgrade to 10.6.8
    3. Download & Install 10.7
    3b. Make a copy of the download before installing if you have more than one to do
    Thanks for the link, I wasn't aware you could burn the install file to a boot disc.  I had assumed you'd have to install snow leopard, upgrade to 10.6.8, then re-download the massive install file for every machine you wanted to install lion on.  You know, it's kind of ridiculous how little information there is about this considering some reports predict that lion could be released as early as tomorrow. 
    It would be nice to know if snow leopard is in fact mandatory so I could get my leopard to snow leopard upgrade out of way in advance.  If the upgrade isn't necessary I'd obviously just wait until Lion ships and save myself the trouble.  In my original post I had assumed that if something went wrong during the lion installation that you'd only be able to recover from a snow leopard time machine backup and not a leopard one; if you can only install from SL --> Lion it would make sense that you could only recover your data from an SL backup, that's why I included an extra "full backup" in my upgrade path. 
    It's kind of absurd that there's no clear answer to such a straightforward question as "What do I need to install Lion?".  Something as simple as "Lion can only be installed from the App store." on the "How to Buy" info page for Lion would let those of us still running Leopard (and those of us who have to coordinate multiple installations) know how to prepare for Lion's release.

  • I have mac OS X 10.5.8, can I upgrade to OS X Lion without going through OS X Snow Leopard?

    can I upgrade to OS X Lion without going through OS X Snow Leopard?

    Yes.
    Instead of upgrade, you can do fresh install Lion into another partition and so you would have multiboot 10.5.8 and 10.7.
    If you wish to use the the exisiting 10.5.8 partition to install 10.7 Lion, you can first create a 10.7 DVD. And use the 10.7 DVD to do installation instead.
    Here is how to create 10.7 DVD.

  • HT1338 I have Leopard 10.5.8 and I can't upgrade to snow leopard

  • HT1338 I have Mac OS 10.6.8, I can update to which next OS?

    Which is the best OS update for my Mac with Mac OS 10.6.8?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have a Mid 2010 MacBook, which supports Mountain Lion.
    First of all, if you are happy with Snow Leopard, keep it. You shouldn't have any problem upgrading, but there are a lot of applications that don't work in Lion and Mountain Lion, so it's important to check that they are supported before upgrading > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you have decided to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, open the App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files. When the download finishes, the Mountain Lion installer will appear, so follow the steps to upgrade to Mountain Lion

  • I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, can I have Safari 7 and how ?

    I have Mac OS X 10.6.8, can I have Safari 7 and how ?

    10.6.8 is Snow Leopard, and given the memory you have, your Mac should be one of those listed as suitable. After backing up just in case things don't work out, you should be all set to download & install from the App Store.
    Do note that some Applications won't work or may need updating for Mavericks, and Power PC apps won't run at all.
    I'll stress the backup, since if you don't care for or can't work with Mavericks, you'll need one to revert to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

    Restart with the Mac OS X 10.6 DVD in the drive or with the Lion USB drive connected, hold down the Option key just after the restart, tab to the installation disk, and press Enter. If the computer has a firmware password set, it needs to be provided for this to work.

  • HT5568 I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
    Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari?  Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder?  Is Safari failing somehow?
    There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so.  That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
    And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software,  cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X.  Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants.  Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere.  Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

    I have Mac air mid 2011 But I can't make mirror screen of my Mac to TV. What to do? Pls help

    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

  • My cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    I think not.   You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific.   So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.  
    Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection.   It just might be something not too drastic.

    Actually, in the US at least the website states
    You can recycle your iPhone at the Apple Retail Store and get immediate credit for its value toward the purchase of a new one.**

  • I have Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition.  Can I upgrade this to a more current version for free? If so, how?

    Hi
    I have loaded photoshop version 5 onto my computer in order to view a psd file, but the file is from a more up to date version and contains incompatible material.  Can I update the version 5 copy I have to a more current version so the file would work?
    Would this just be a question of downloading something online or would I have to pay to upgrade?
    I did try to look at the adobe upgrade section but it all seemed meant for more current versions than mine
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I have Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition.  Can I upgrade this to a more current version for free?
    Are you being serious?
    What you can do is avail yourself of the free 30 day trial period of a more current version, though.
