HT1338 Upgrading from 10.5.8 to 10.6 or 10.7

Hi, need help!, where can I get the upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6 or 10.7?
I haven't been able to find a CD to order or a link to download anywhere in the MacStore!
Thanks!

You need 10.6.8 before you can upgrade any further. That will get you access to the Mac App Store - however 10.7 (Lion) is no longer available, having been replaced by Mountain Lion; and it's quite probably that as you Mac is old enough to be running Leopard it will not be able to run Mountain Lion.
Snow Leopard is not available in the Apple Store online, but if you ring 1-800-MY-APPLE (USA) or the equivalent number for your country you may be able to buy it that way.
Requirements for Snow Leopard are listed here:

As to Mountain Lion, please see this page for requirements and a list of supported models:

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * 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.
Call Apple Sales...in the US: 1-800-MY-APPLE. Or Support... 1-800-275-2273

HT1338 Upgrade from Tiger to Lion

I seem to be going round in circles . I had Leopard installed on my Notebook. I wiped my Hard drive and now only have Tiger software.( The Leopard pack was stolen from my car) I wish to upgrade to Lion but I don't know what other packs I need to do this.

To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).

HT1338 upgrade from leopard

How do I upgrade my software on my mac pro from leopard? can not do it via the cloud.

You'll need to upgrade to at least OS X 10.6.6 or later to access the App store. You already have an Intel processor and probably already have the 1GB of memory required for OS X 10.6. Call the online Apple store, which in the US is at 800-MY-APPLE to order OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Install, do Software Updates, and you'll be at OS X 10.6.8.
Your Mac Pro needs to be a 2008 model or newer to upgrade to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and while the minimum memory is 2GB, 4GB is recommended. Once at OS X 10.6.8, and assuming your system can run it, you can buy and download OS X 10.8 from the App store.
If you can't run OS X 10.8, you can still buy OS X 10.7 Lion by calling the online Apple store. They'll send you a code to download it from the App store. OS X 10.7 has the same memory requirements and recommended memory at OS X 10.8.
One other thing to be aware of .... in both Lion and Mountain Lion, Apple dropped emulated PowerPC support, so if you currently run any programs with PowerPC code, they will no longer work. People upgrading with Office 2004 got surprised when it would no longer work.

I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard. now iTunes won't recognize my iphone, and the upgrading the software keeps crashing.. help!!

Mountain Lion is OS X 10.8
10.6 was called Snow Leopard.
To use iTunes 10.7 the following is required:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor and 512MB of RAM
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Safari 4.0.3 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Do you use iTunes Match?
That way all of your songs would be matched with the master song on the iTunes servers independently of iTunes on your Mac or PC...
Look here for further information: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
