HT1338 i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6

i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6 pls help me

ok but i have mac os x.
I'll explain the numbering system for you.
With the operating systems numbering format it works as this: for example with 10.5.8, the first number is redundant because they are all 10 since 2001. This is the X in OS X
The second number is the upgrade version, which have cat names attached to them. 10.5 is Leopard. Each of these upgrade names must be purchased. If you want 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to buy it,
The last number is the update version, which is free, but requires the upgrade before you can install it.
So, you currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you ask how to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have given you the link of how buy it.
so do i must change mac os x (10.5) to snow-leopard.
The choice is yours. You do not have to upgrade if you do not wish to.

Have MacBook Pro (ancient) has 2.16 Ghz Intel Core Duo with 1 GB 667 MHz RAM using OS 10.4.11. Can I upgrade OS? If so, how far? And can I add more memory? I realize this is an old laptop but I need to wait to upgrade to new.

iOS 5 is for iDevices, not OS X. Your iDevice would only require 10.5.8 or later. If you have a Mac with a Core Duo processor then you cannot install Lion but you can install Snow Leopard provided you have at least 1 GB of RAM installed.

Be certain that you get the correct RAM for your machine (204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM) and get it from a reputable Mac supplier (Crucial, OWC, etc.).

Macbook Pro with 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Windows install advice

I find myself after 20 years using mac's needing to run a windows program. I have Macbook pro 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo and was wondering if anyone can tell me if parallels or fusion works better on this machiene. Also i see some folks here feel Windows 7 is the way to go. Any advice would be appreciated.
tks in advance for any advice
-R-

A lot of the answer really depends upon you and your usage.
VMWare Fusion, and Parallels Desktop both work well, nad each ahs its strengths and weaknesses. I have used Fusion v3, 4, & 5, as well as Parlallels v 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8. I got my first copy of Parallels when I got my first MacBook Pro as a bundle deal along with a Windows XP Pro license. For my usage, I find that Parallels seems to be more "efficient" (it runs a little faster) but Fusion seems to be a bit more stable, and supports a slightly broader collection of hardware peripherals. Luckily for you, both packages offer a free trial before you buy the software, so you can test them both to see which works best for you. You could also consider using VirtualBox (a free tool much like Fusion or Parallels), or even Boot Camp if you need the "raw power" of running the system in native mode with no emulation overhead.
As for What version of Windows you run, it would really depend upon what licenses you have, and what your Windows software requires. some Windows software still requires Windows XP, some requires Windows 7 or later. Since you didn't mention your Windows app, I can't say for it.
In the end, it depends upon you, what you want, what you need, and what you are willing to pay for.

Is it possible to upgrade my macbook air 13" from 1.86 GHz 128 gb flash and 2GB memory to the 2.13 GHz 256 and 4GB memory, how much would it cost?

About the only thing that "might" be able to do is upgrade the SSD. OWC sells SSD upgrades for that unit. You would have to contact Apple though to verify that no warranty issues would apply when making the upgrade.

You are trying to use software that is over 10 years old. As I read it, FCP 3.0.2 required 10.1 or higher at the time, but as FCP is reliant on quicktime, which has been updated many, many times, I doubt that you will ever get it to work properly.

Can anybody help?!

First correct the pirate disc issue. Buy OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard from Apple for $19.99 here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is the latest version your macbook 1,1 will run. Oitlook is part of the Microsoft Office suite, if you want outlook you'll need to also purchase Office. If you can get by with Apple's mail program there are free alternatives to Office like Libre Office or Open Office.

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Want to upgrade to Lion to take advantage of icloud. Is there anything I can do without getting a new MacPro?

I have a MacBook Pro with Intel Core Duo and Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Would like to upgrade to Lion but it requires a minimum of Intel Core 2 Duo. Can I get what I need or do I have to buy new MacBok Pro?

I also have a core duo MBP with Snow Leopard and it runs perfectly. There are very few things it cannot do as compared to the faster, newer MBPs, but that is attributable to the CPU, not the OS. There are some who view Lion as downgrade rather than as an improvement. If there are important applications that reqire a fast CPU or Lion features that you find essential, by all means get a new MBP.
I have an aphorism: Obsolescence is more often a perception rather than a reality. Besides the silver keys look much classier than the black ones.
Ciao.

My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion. I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo" My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

Old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo) camera not working with Mavericks

I have an old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, I think 2007), builtin camera not working and I think it is related to mavericks update.
Anyone had the same problem, and if yes what is the solusion?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Will my Macbook 13" late 2006 take the RAM from a Macbook Pro 13" 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo?

I have a macbook 13" late 2006 and i found it was cheaper to buy a 13" Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz Intel Core Duo Ram, I was just wondering if the ram out of the pro model will fit my older model?

Some basic guesses from http://www.everymac.com
MacBook 13" Late 2006 is a MacBook2,1 and that uses PC2-5300 DDR2 667 MHz ram.
MacBook Pro 13" did not use 2.4 GHz but the first of the 13" models was the MacBook Pro7,1 and that uses PC3-8500 DDR3 1066 MHz ram.
Those are not compatible and cannot be used interchangeably.
