Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

    I am trying to upgrade OS and have 10.5.8 I have a disc for snow leopard but it says it cannot be installed on this computer - how do I get up to date?

    You need to use a retail DVD(phone the online Apple Store) and not one which originally shipped with a computer.

    I am trying to update ITunes from 10.4 to 10.5 I have tried from both the program, and from a download on Apple's website. Regardless, I get the following error messages: (1) Installation package for iTunes cannot be found. Try installing to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install iTunes.  I can't find this folder. I have tried to completely unistall iTunes through the Control Panel, but it wouldn't let me: I tried going directly to the files themselves, but cannot uninstall. Any help would be greatly appreciated. System OS: Win XP SP 3.

    Set the permissions for Everyone in the folder in which CCPackager created, to "Read/Write" enabled. This is strange since there is only an administrator account on the Mac (and that account already has read/write), but it seems to resolve the issue.

  • Trying to update iMac from 10.5.8 to current OS X.

    On my iMac (which has sadly been neglected) I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. Is there anyway that I can put Snow Leopard on it, so that I can continue to upgrade via the Mac Store App? On my Macbook laptop, I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2. So, at least I kept up with one (whoops). I looked on Amazon and the Snow Leopard cds are about $80.00. OUCH.
    Any help in updating this iMac or finding a cheap Snow Leopard would be helpful.

    Call 800-MY-APPLE to buy Snow Leopard. Check the system requirements.
    Once installed, update it using Software Update, then you can buy Mountain Lion. Check its system requirements as well.
    ... I looked on Amazon and the Snow Leopard cds are about $80.00. OUCH.
    Yes, the price has increased wildly lately. You'll see the same on eBay.

  • I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc.  It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc.  It ejects every time now.

    I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but my macbook keeps ejecting the disc.  It started to install the first time and said it needed to restart to finish, restarted but ejected the disc.  It ejects every time now.  I've also installed the 10.5.8 combo update but that didn't help it.  I've tried restarting the macbook with the disc in, holding c, all that.  Why won't this work?!

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard

    I'm trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard but keep getting an error message, "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.".  Isn't Snow Leopard 10.6?....so now what?

    It sounds more like you are trying to use an updater rather than the Snow Leopard installer DVD. You might read over the following:
    How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
    A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
    Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer. Now restart normally. 
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    C. Important: Please read before installing:
    If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
    You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
    The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.  While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
    D. To upgrade:
    Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
    Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
    Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
    Restart the computer.
    Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
    Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
    Wait for installer to finish loading.
    E. If updating:
    Download and install update(s) 
    Use Software Update, or
    Download standalone updater(s).

        * 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?...

    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

  • I just upgraded OS from 10.4.1 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I tried to open Reason 4 it asks for me to insert a disc and prompts me to enter my ID for permission. What can I do?

    I just upgraded OS from 10.4.1 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I tried to open Reason 4 it asks for me to insert a disc and prompts me to enter my ID for permission. What can I do?

    First off, you can't have upgraded from 10.4.1, as that won't run on a MacBook. 10.4.4 is minimum.  10.4.10, and 10.4.11 are different from 10.4.1.   
    Secondly, it appears Reason 4.0.1 is needed for 10.6:

    There may be other upgrades on:

    Check with the developers in question if they are aware of any bugs in the upgrade process.

    Logic 8 should have no problems in SL.
    Use Software update to check if you've got the latest update for it (SU will only offer an update if it's not already installed).
    Failing that, I'd start by uninstalling Logic and re-install from the DVD in case something got corrupted during the update.

  • Should I add more memory when I update my iMac from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard?

    Should I add more memory when I updaate my iMac from 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard?

    Actually, you have a Late 2006 model iMac that can use a Maximum of 3 GB of RAM.  See the link below.  So you can use a 1 GB and a 2GB modules.

    I downloaded an update for my Safari web browser to "snow leopard". When I click on the .dmg file, a window opens up with a .pkg file but when I click on the .pkg file I get a prompt saying that it doesn't know what program to open it with.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.
