HT1338 Trouble UPDATING from Mac OS X 10.5.8.

I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard. It says I need to be updated to Mac OS X 10.6 to upgrade to Snow Leopard. When I try to update, it says I am already up to date. What gives?

You can purchase Snow Leopard contact 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:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
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.

I need to update from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard

Yes! If your Mac meets the requirements:

I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers. I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8. What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine? Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?

Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update? Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac

How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

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.

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Update Not Verified?

Trying to update from Mac OSX 10.7.2 to 10.7.4 via the Updater. Getting a message half way through the download stating the updated "could not be verified. It may have been corrupted during downloading." Any ideas for picking up the latest Update?
Uploading screenshot.... any advice appreciated.
Matt

Either try redownloading or try downloading the standalone updater: OS X Lion Update 10.7.4 (Client Combo).
Such errors may be caused by glitches in your Internet connection or because of hard drive problems. I suggest you try the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the 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.
Repair
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, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Is it wise to update from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 to Maverick?

Is it wise to update from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 to Maverick?

Many millions have but read up on Mavericks and see if it suits you. We have no idea on your work practices, type of computer, etc. it's a personal choice and asking such a general question in a troubleshooting forum will not get you many positive replies. Google Mavericks OSXS and decide for yourself

IPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store will not update from 9.1.5

I downloaded the iPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store.
When I try to update from 9.1.5 to 9.2.1, I get the message: "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store."
Since the Mac App Store is where I downloaded the update from, I don't know how exactly to proceed.
Any suggestions?

Terence and Peter,
I have iPhoto 9.1.5 which was installed on my iMac that I received November, 2011.
My wife has the 9.2.1 version of iPhoto on her MacBook Pro which she bought months before I bought my iMac.
My iPhoto library opens fine in 9.1.5 on my iMac but will not open the copy of her iPhoto library that I copied to my iMac. We have two libraries and I want the same one she has instead of two separate libraries.
I went to the Mac App Store and downloaded iPhoto9.2.1 Update.dmg to my desktop.
I then opened the .dmg and clicked on the iPhoto9.2.1Update.pkg.
The install iPhoto Update window started to open briefly before the Alert message "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available" appeared.
I checked the MAS and found this link and this is what I downloaded: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iPhoto%209.2.1
hth, Bob

Trouble switching from Mac to windows in boot camp

Ever since my imac updated early last week I am having trouble switching from the mac side back to windows. Switching fromt windows to mac is fine. I do most of my work on the mac side graphics design but for my job some of the software we use only runs on windows and this is the side i have to use to clock in and out and do someother work on.
I am using the option button as I have for the past 3 months and it worked just fine but since this update i am having to try 4-5 times before I am successful. I can do it by shutting down the computer, pushing the option button then turning back on and that seems to work, well it did Friday at least, today its not working again, i am having to try 4-5 times yet again by shutting down the computer then turning back on and i really dont like doing that 4-5 times in a row just to switch back to windows to do one quick thing then switch back.
any suggestions?
Thanks for any help!

To see if it resolves the problem, from Mac OS try setting your chosen boot disk in Preferences -> Startup Disk. You can do the same to go back to Mac OS from Windows in the Startup Disk control panel.

Can't get updates from Mac App Store

I changed my password. Now, I can't get updates to apps bought using the old PW. Error msg: "Download using your other account." What "other" account? Change back to the old PW and download the upgrades, then go back to the new PW?

After I reset my password, Mac App Store told me to sign in to my account and verify that I had a valid method of payment set up. Naturally, I do have such a method. But Done does't work because I have to verify an account that, according to MY Account, is already verified. But, what the hey? Apple has my back against the wall. I re-verify it. Apple says, "Account verified. Return to App Store."
Nothing has changed. I verify my MOP again. I get the same good news.
Nothing has changed. I give up for the night..
Today, I open up Mail. Two messages from Apple. Each says that my account has been de-authorized. That is, each time that I "verified" my MOP, I was, somehow, actually DE-verifying it!
So, I set up a new MOP with no apparent probs, except that,
MOP?!!! What MOP?! !'ve ALREADY PAID! What does it matter whether I have an MOP, if I'm not BUYING anything?!!! But, what are you going to do?
All right. I've now completely redone everything, including deleting App Store with Amnesia and doing a whole 'nother install.
I try to download an update.
You have updates available for other accounts.
To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
I have a single account. I've never had any other. I have fifteen (15!) apps waiting to be updated.
As far as I can tell, the trouble started after I put in a new password - before I knew that I was going to have a problem - after having used the old one from the opening of the MAS. Everything that had an update from after that date is updated. The fifteen non-updatables are from before the password change.
Thank you for trying.
