    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • How do I upgrade from OS X v10.5 to OS X Lion?

    Hi, you either have to buy the 10.6 Disc online, upgrade to 10.6.6 or 10.6.8, then you can buy Lion online.
    You can also get Lion on a Flash Drive, but...

    Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
    Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

  • How do I upgrade from OS X v10.5.8 to OS X Lion?

    It seems that the prerequisite for upgrade to OS X Lion is 10.6.8, but I can't seem to purchase/download OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) from Apple site anymore?
    My iMac is with Intel

    Pre-req for
    Mountain Lion (10.8) is 10.6.8.
    Lion (10.7) is 10.6.6.
    Lion is available from a few non-Apple places in a USB Flash drive format that will allow you to install over a hard drive that has no operating system.
    Before upgrading to either, read these tips:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465 for Lion.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761 for Mountain Lion.

  • How to updgrade from Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.4 or 10.5?

    Hi, how do i upgrade from Mac OS 10.3.9 to 10.4 or 10.5? (except buying the software) do i have to achieve all my files before? is there any risks of loosing data? would i require to also buy a new Iwork office? or the 2007 version is still applicable?
    Thanks for your help and reply

    aline_b1,
    I'm presuming that you mean iWork 06 when referring to the 2007 version. It will work perfectly with OSX 10.4 (it has OSX 10.3.9 or OSX 10.4.3 as a minimum requirement). There are free updates from Apple for each of Keynote v3 and Pages v2, you may have these already.
    It's always a good idea to backup you data whether you're upgrading or not. Something as simple as a USB memory stick will work, if you make the effort to compress the data - using the right-click "Create Archive" in the OSX Finder will be quick and easy. It'll also protect any files left over from OS9 (resource forks - if you don't know what these are, don't worry, you don't need to, compression will make sure that they are safe). Leave the original documents in place, the backup should only be needed if everything goes wrong.
    You may also want to check the compatibility of all the applications you normally use with the new OS. Many of the Apple produced applications will come with new versions in the new OS. But others, like Firefox will have newer versions available if you want them.
    If you want to list the programs (with version numbers) that you normally use, some here can help with compatability, and what the new versions are. You may however consider this to be revealing too much of your identity.
    I'm planning a similar upgrade at the moment, Tiger is already installed (it has been since I bought it from new) on a 2nd drive, and I check the compatibility of all my applications in Tiger (it's a long list) before I will finally make the switch permanent. Some applications will continue to work, some will work with free patches, some will require new versions - of which some will be free and some will cost money.
    I've also got to make sure that all my old documents (used Mac since 1985) are still usable with the applications available under the new OS. You may be more fortunate.

    Check your system capabilities.

  • How to import mailboxes from Time Machine to new Mac

    I had Time Machine backing up our old G5. We got a Mac Pro back in November and I never was able to import the mail from the G5 to the Mac Pro so I left it alone and just kept using mail on the old G5. Well, the G5 took a dump last monday. I currently have the Time Machine backup for that computer connected to our Mac Pro (but not using it as backup yet). So, the mail from the G5 should be on the Time Machine backup right? If so, can I import it into Mail on the Mac Pro?
    I also pulled one of the hard drives from the G5 and have it in the Mac Pro in the 2nd bay just to make sure that HD wasn't dead. It works fine and I tried importing the .mbox files from that drive but it appears that all the mail on that particular drive are from like 2006. So, again, I need to find out how to import mail from the Time Machine drive. Any thoughts?
    10.7.4
    Mail 5.2

    Back up what data? Mail data? I don't have any yet. I haven't used Apple Mail on this Mac Pro yet.
    Edit: Launching Mail and holding Option right afterwards does nothing. Holding down option and then launching Mail does nothing.
    Oooooh.... launching time machine while holding down option......
    Edit again.... I don't have a Time Machine menu because that disk is not currently set up as time machine for the Mac Pro yet. I don't want to use it as a backup for this computer yet. I just want to be able to pull some of the backed up contents from it until I'm set.

  • Good morning, i would like to know how to take pictures from iphoto and put them in a folder on desktop

    Good morning: would like to know how to take pictures from my iphoto and put them in a folder on my desktop

    To take photos from iPhoto and put them onto a folder on Desktop, first create a folder on Desktop. Right-click on Desktop and create a new folder.
    Then, open iPhoto, and you have two ways to export photos:
    1. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key (or go to Edit menu > Select All, if you want to copy all photos), and then, drag them to the folder on Desktop.
    2. Select the photos you want to copy to Desktop with Command key, go to File menu > Export, and follow the steps.
    You can choose the one you prefer
