This is as far as you can to with that model:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you want 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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.

HT1338 Updating Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 to 10.6

I am currently running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and am trying to update my iTunes to Version 10.7, however an error message appears saying that I must update to Mac OS X 10.6. When I run the Software Updater, it says that my computer is up to date?? Why can't I update the OS X 10.5.8 to the 10.6?? Please HELP!! Thanks

Because it is a Paid Upgrade and Not Available as a Download...
First Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for SL and then post back...

HT1338 updating Mac software

In order to manage my iPhone in iTunes, i need to update my iTunes....which I did. Now I can't install iTunes without a Mac OS X software of a version better 10.6.8. My question is, since there's no available software upgrade/updates, how do I do this!?

If you are asking to upgrade to Snow leopard or Lion this does not come via software update.   You must buy snow leopard and that is your first step.
Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
Minimum specs for Snow Leopard. Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -     Read the Technical Specifications
Note. You can no longer buy Snow Leopard from an Apple retail store, only as follows.
If you are in North America ... Last I read, you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for family pack and $19 plus tax for the individual use version.
In Europe or otherwise … call your National Apple Helpline … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Once you have bought and upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard.          Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.
Remember to repair permissions both before and after each upgrade/update.
Once you have done that you can look at going further ... but one step at a time
is best policy

HT1338 Need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X 10.6.5 to the latest Mountain Lion Software...thanx John

I need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X to Mountain Lion.....Thanx....Jay

First update your 10.6 version to 10.6.8 from the software update under the Apple Menu.
This will add direct access to the Mac App store via a new application.
Now launch the App Store from your Applications folder - Its the new icon a letter A formed from a ruler pencil and pen on a blue circle !
Once launched you need to add your iTunes account details or create an account add payment details etc...
Sign in purchase download and follow install processes to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
OH and to be safe BEFORE you install backup your current system to an external drive !

HT1338 Do you update Mac OS X Server 10.7.4 on the mini cube server to the OS X Mountain Lion

Please advise me, if you have the answer.
Do you update Mac OS X Server 10.7.4 on the mini cube server to the OS X Mountain Lion.
Thank You, in advance for your help.

Simply go into the App store and download Mountain Lion. Lion server is upgraded by the Mountain Lion install and after that you can install OS X Server.

my type of laptop is MAC724
tnx

The first thing to attempt is restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more has become corrupt. Once it has started navigate to 10.6.8 Update Combo and download and install per the directions. After it has installed if you still have difficulty re-starting, go to System Preferences - Startup Disk and make sure the internal HD is highlighted and click restart again and restart again in Safe Mode. Finally restart normally.
BTW I have asked the moderator to remove the serial number of your machine for your own security. Please DO NOT post private information such as email addresses, serial numbers etc.. to a public forum.

How can I update mac 10.6.8 to Yosemite?

I have never update my macbook mac os and now i have to download the new version of itunes and i cannot open it because i have to update mac os, but i dont know to update mac os 10.6.8 to Yosemite

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.

I want to update Mac OS X 10.5.8 to Lion.

I want to update Mac OS X 10.5.8 to Lion.
I ask to help and it is detailed, step by step to explain that it is necessary to do!
Thanks.

Instead of going to Lion which is no longer available I'd recommend going to Mountain Lion. Apple explains the minimum system requirements in:
General Requirements
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory (4GB or more recommended)
8GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Supported
Models
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
If your system can be upgraded, first backup using Time Machine or create a bootable clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Then call the online Apple Store and purchase a license of Snow Leopard (no longer availble unless you call Apple!!!!) then follow the instructions that come with the DVD to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Next upgrade to the most current release of SL which is 10.6.8 by clicking 10.6.8 Update Combo and following the on-screen instructions. After the update run Software Update to ensure all other apps are up-to-date and follow all the suggested recommendations! Next open the Mac App Store and purchase Mt. Lion and follow the on-screen instructions. VERY VERY simple if you follow these instructions.

The update "Mac OS X update combined (powerpc)" can't be installed?

I recently upgraded from OS X 10.3.9 to Tiger (10.4.6) and encountered a weird problem. My system is a Dual 1GHz G4 (mirror drive door) with 768 MB RAM.
When I try to launch iTunes, I get an error telling me that "iTunes requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later..."
That never happened before, so I assume that the Tiger installation (or a Software Update I was unaware of) sabotaged iTunes by imposing this new requirement.
Now here's the irony: I can't install OS X 10.4.7! When I run Software Update, it tries to install Mac OS X Update Combined (PowerPC) 10.4.10-- but it fails every time with the message:
The update "Mac OS X update combined (powerpc)" can't be installed.
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple."
So this seems to be a transmission error, or something wrong with Apple's server. I've tried this repeatedly over the last few days, but nothing changes.
Any suggestions? I tried downloading the installer from Apple's download page, but it results in the same error. Is there perhaps a clean version of 10.4.8 I can download from somewhere?
It's really frustrating not being able to run iTunes because of an OS "upgrade."

Then, stop using Software Update, click the Downloads link at the page's top, and manually download the COMBO update. As for iTunes, apparently you installed a later version. With 10.4.6, your quite a few updates behind: OS, security, iTunes, and QuickTime, just to name a few. Before you update, be sure you make a bootable backup/clone. Details for doing that are in these:

The update "Mac OS X Update Combined" can't be saved.

A few days ago my mac ( late 2009 model MacBook pro running lion 10.7.2 ) started freezing, a lot. The freezing seemed to be a problem with osx itself rather than with any particular program. So I initiated software update hoping that there would be an osx update. Low and behold, there was.
Here is the problem.... I can't get it. I have tried twice and both times I get this message
"The update “Mac OS X Update Combined” can’t be saved.
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
Any ideas?

Ok this problem has developed somewhat.
My machine has gone from bad freezing spells to being downright broken.
I rebooted the machine and got stuck at login screen.
Rebooted again and didn't get to login screen.
Rebooted again and got logged in but my desktop was unresponsive and then started flashing between the desktop image and a plain grey screen. I did this literally all night (left it over night).
So today I have booted up from an install of lion I have on an external FireWire drive. And all is well. I am trying to backup things like my photo library and other documents so that I can format the internal hard drive and and do a clean install.
I can access the hard drive, see all the files, but when trying to copy it over I get an error message saying
"the finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto library" can't be read or written ( error code -36 )
Now before anyone screams broken hard drive, the data can be read, because I can view it all in finder. Just can't copy it out to an external drive.
Please help!!
Oh ps. Before booting from the external I created a new admin account on my machine and booted int that. The freezing problem was the same as in my normal account.

The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be saved. ERROR

Hi,
I have been searching these forums for an answer.
Today I had a pop up informing me that update are available.
Mac OX X Update 10.5.7.286 MB
The 10.5.7 Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
For detailed information on this update, please visit this website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3397.
For detailed information on security updates, please visit this website: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222.
A few minutes into the update I get the message below.
The update “Mac OS X Update” can’t be saved.
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by “Apple”.
I click on OK to close the message box and the download stops and the download box closes.
Any suggestion why this is happening.
I am on version 10.5.6 Build 9G55
iMac

Intel Core 2 Duo

Yes I am getting this error and so I got 10.5.7 from Support Downloads but then there was a Safari Beta 4 update and it did the same thing. I'm a little worried after that because I have already had Software Update probs and had to get a brand new MacBook so keep the answers coming

Help installn the 10.5.8 Update Mac OS X Leopard from 10.5.7 (Power PC G5)

I am concerned about installing the +10.5.8 Update Mac OS X Leopard+ from +10.5.7 (Power PC G5)+. It does not say anything about users who aren't on the intel chip systems so I'm worried if I really need to upgrade, any advice?
This also comes to mind when doing any kind of *new update* when SOFTWARE UPDATE manually shoots down and informs me it's time to install some new software updates. I will eventually buy a Mac Book Pro and use my Power PC for home internet use but is there cause for concern to keep updating software because it assumes everyone is already upgraded to intel mac systems??? I hope this isn't a dumb question to people reading this, lol...

I updated my G5 iMac the other day with no problems. I did however
make a backup using CarbonCopyCloner before updating.
I also updated my Intel MacBook with no problems (again taking a
backup prior to the update).
I also did a Repair permissions using Disk Utility before each update.
Some people suggest using the Combo update but I have always used
the delta update via Software Update and have not encountered any
issues.
YMMV
