HT1444 OS X 10.7.5 to 10.8.4?

I have a late 2007 macbook running MAC OS X 10.7.5. Why does "software update" say I'm up to date? Shouldn't I be moving on to 10.8.4?

Is there free version OS X 10.8. x for developer ? I want to update my OS X 10.7.5 to the latest version OS X 10.8.5 ?
Additional Question : If I update my OS X from 10.7.5 to OS X 10.8.5, Do I need to pre-store all my documents in case they get lost when upgrading the OS X ?
Thanks ( :

  • HT1444 How can I upgrade my system 10.4 into a newer one or the latest I could get for my machine?

    I currently have Mac OS X V. 10.4.11 and there are some things I'm unable to use on my computer, Adobe flash player being one of them, so I figured why not upgrading my software into the latest I could get? However I have no clue how can this be done, or if it can be done?
    I'll appreciate any advice. Thank you.

    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion

    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A

    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

    Now I want to upgrade RAM to 6GB or 8GB. Right now I run the 10.5.8 I want to update to latest software.

    Thank you,

    You can upgrade to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mountain Lion (coming next month), but you need Snow Leopard to upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. Check this web to know how to add memory to your computer and the memory that it supports (probably, 3 GB).

  • HT1444 how do i upgrade my Mac OS on my MacBook Pro

    I have MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.6.8. I want to install iBook Author software but when I try to install, I get error message stating that I need Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later to able to install this application. There seem to be no software updates available from menu. Could anyone tell me how I can obtain Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later? Thank you.

    Check to ensure that your computer is compatible for the upgrade first -
    Mountain Lion System Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5444.
    Go to your applications folder, and open up "Apps Store".  Once open, in the top right, type in Mountain Lion.  You can download it here. 

  • HT1444 what update do i install on my ipod touch 4g using windows 7 64bit

    I think I am going to have to do some research on all this **** OS's and versions and software not to mention firmware or hardware or the many other attributes that come along with this amazingly powerful device called my ipod touch. got to love this magical machine that apple created. its insane i should not be this lost when it comes to all this tech crap. ok i guess i just need to get back into the groove of it. wake up outta my fog. but until i do....does any one know what update I am suppose to be installing on my ipod touch 4g? i am using windows 64 bit

    Only the latest version is made available. There's nothing to choose from. You just click on your iPod in the sidebar in iTunes and click Check for Updates.

  • HT1444 I need to Upgrade to Snow leopard, can i download it from the app store, if so how do i do it?

    I need to Upgrade to Snow leopard OS X from Leopard OS X, can i downlaod it from the Mac App Store, if so how do I do it?

    Ah yes.  South Africa.   I checked the international listings for you but there seems to be no direct Apple support in South Africa.   I cannot imagine why since the political restraints for countries like Iran are not those of South Africa.
    I understand that Apple United States do not ship orders outside of the USA.
    You may have to contact Apple Head Office.

  • HT1444 how can I upgrade my macbook from 10.5.8 version to the latest version

    how can I upgrade my macbook from OS X 10.5.8 version to the latest version?

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • HT1444 Is there a way to undo an update and go back to prior version?

    Is there a way to undo an update and go back to a previous version? I installed the latest version of 10.7.4 (?) on my iPhone (4s) but I hate it. I was warned by another user not to update. She said I would regret it. I should've listened.
    1)The Icons are lighter in color with tiny print on them - resembling a bunch of light colored boxes without meaning.
    2) I used to be able to double-click the home button, press-and-hold a running icon at the bottom and deselect all that were running to prolong my battery life, but I can't figure out how to do that now.
    I am reluctant to update my iPad now. I think I will readjust my settings to make the updates "hidden".

    Unfortunately there isn't a downgrade path. However, to improve legibility go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn 'Larger Type' on and make adjustments there. Also you can turn the 'Bold Text' option on.
    To close down apps, double-tap the Home button as before and any open apps will appear as a reduced sized window of the app. Stroke that window 'up' and the app will close down.

  • HT1444 iTunes won't sync my iPhone!

    I have 10.5.8.  How do I upgrade to Mountain Lion?  Right now, I can't sync my iTunes with my iPhone because I need a newer version of iTunes.  However, I can't get the newer version of iTunes, because I have an old OS X version.  What do I do?

    Man! thank you so much! After applying that command the problem completely disappeared and now iTunes is working perfectly! I really don't know how to thank you! I have been suffering from this problem since more than a month ago, I even bought new albums and couldn't sync them to my iPhone!
    Not only that, I had also other issues with iTunes like when Windows starts up the "Apple Mobile Device Service" always occupies %50 of the CPU usage, that issue has been resolved also.
    I also had problems with Google Chrome, Google Chrome was not able to open a lot of pages i.e. hotmail.com, 9gag, and sometimes YouTube, but now it's working perfectly! Seriously what kind of magice command is that?!
    But I also was able to recognize what was causing the problem, I'm using the program "Internet Download Manager 5.19", and after I applied that command and restarted my computer, this window appeared:
    First I clicked "Yes" and it asked to reboot the system, after rebooting, all the old problems were back, so I recognized that IDM is what was causing the problem, so I applied the command once again, restarted my computer, and this time I clicked "No" to this window, and now everything is working just fine.
    Thank you very much for your help, you saved my life!
    Cheers

  • HT1444 Upgrading from 10.5.8 to 10.6+ without an operating CD/DVD Drive?

    Hi there, I own an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, Early 2009 model, on OS X 10.5.8 and I definitely need to upgrade it to at least 10.6, since many things such as Flash Player, YouTube and several Apps are not running on my system. My CD/DVD drive has stuck a long time ago. It is neither a software issue, nor I am sure whether it is a hardware issue exactly as the CD has stuck in and it wont eject because the case has been harmed outside and it will not let the machine pop it out as it does not go out through the "hole", it bumps on the metal. I guess this requires a more specific repair which I cannot afford at the moment for such an old machine. Is it possible to upgrade using an other way? I do have the Snow Leopard setup disc but I cannot insert it! Maybe via an external CD/DVD drive? Please help! It will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance!

    Use an external drive which is capable of starting up your Mac model.

  • HT1444 Hotmail has been converted to Outlook and now my 10.6.8 version of Snow Leopard doesn't seem to be compatible with Outlook. I can only access Outlook through the mobile option. I have downloaded the latest update for SL but that doesn't seem to hav

    Since Hotmail was converted to Outlook I can only access through the Mobile option.  I keep getting a message suggesting I upgrade to the latest version of Safari.  I tried downloading the most recent upgrade that I could find but the problem is still not solved.  How do I fix this very annoying situation?

    No problem here on 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.9 - is that the version of Safari you have? If not you can download it here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1569
    or you could try Firefox - make sure you have the latest version of that (21.0)

  • HT1444 The update vs. upgrade paths are very confusing. I'm running OS X v10.5.8. What upgrade products do I need in order to become current?

    The update vs. upgrade paths are very confusing. I'm running OS X v10.5.8 and trying to figure out what versions I need to purchase/download in order to become current.
    Thank you!

    Phone the Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and run Software Update. If your Mac supports it, buy 10.7 or 10.8 from the Mac App Store.
