HT1338 I need to update my Mac OS X v10.5 to a more recent version. Does anyone know where I would start to do this?

I have Mac OS X v 10.5.8. I'd like to update to the most recent version that I can, but I do not know where to start? Can anyone help me with this issue?

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:

To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

I am trying to use IWeb and need a lot more information. Does anyone know where I can get a book on how to build a website on IWeb?

Has anyone built a web site using Ilife and specifically Iweb? If so, did you find a book on how to use it? I am pretty up on Photoshop Elements but this works very differently and I need HELP! Thanks!

Has anyone built a web site using Ilife and specifically Iweb?
No, no-one in this forum has ever used iWeb. Browse this forum and you'll see that nobody has even heard of the app.
Anyway, start by reading the iWeb Help. It's a great source of information to start with.
And here are some video tutorials by Apple :
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/web/
And note that iWeb is not PhotoShop (Elements) v.v. So don't compare them.
And I'm sure that filling a blank page with content isn't very difficult to do.
Remember Kindergarten? Did you need a tutorial to use the crayons?
Here are some sample sites you can use as inspiration :

Some were made in an afterrnoon. Think of a word, make it a theme and start filling the page.

HT4250 Does anyone know where to get a copy of the OS X 10.6.5 update? Apples' site says it can't find the page and the only other downloads i've found on the net say you need to have 10.6.5 to install 10.6.5. HUH?

It's right here from Apple, at least for me.

Any reason you want the 10.6.5? You do know that the latest and final is the 10.6.8.

Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone? Thanks.

It rather depends on where you are seeing the demand for a passcode. If, as I assumed, you are trying to change the password at http://appleid/apple.com then that will ask for a passcode if 2-step verification has been set up. On the other hand, if, as Csound1 has assumed, you have changed the password on that website and are trying to enter it in your phone (for which you need to sign out completely before you can do this) and are being asked for a passcode that can only be one you set yourself (unless of course the phone is second-hand in which case that would open a whole new can of worms).

HT2476 After updating to OS X Mountain Lion, there is a password locked pdf document in the Downloads Stack. Does anyone know what password is required to access this file?

Hello, if your install disk is locked (I assume with FileVault) there is no way to change the password. If it weren't locked there were at least two solutions. As far as I know, the only solutions now are:
- contact your dad
- erase and reinstall the OS X clean
Let us know.

Does anyone know where to download service repair manual 4 all thing mac

There was page on the apple web where you can download a service repair manual. I think is on the apple support page. There was service source package for almost every machine out there. For some reason all I can find now is the user guide
Has that page been move? It was accessible before. Does anyone know where I might find this page? I Google it and I see people selling the service source which was meant to be free.

for which machine? they never fully released a total service guide PDF for most macs to the public, just for certain parts. you have to be an apple authorized service provider to get these types of manuals.
the only other option is to find DIY guides done by others for whatever task you have at hand.

Which generation Nano and what software are you referring to? There are no downloadable apps on a Nano.

With CS6 you have to pay extra for these plugins.
With the CC you can download different ME versions to add their functionality.

All ISP-provided equipment is junk. You could get a decent router and connect it to the Verizon router in bridge mode. It should cost about $ 30.

Without proper system info and other technical details nobody can tell you much. This could be something to do with the sync features, so as a start turn that stuff off.
