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.

    MetsFanGirl,
    Thanks for verifying. Are you having issues receiving both iMessages and standard text messages when they are sent when the phone is turned off? Try this and test... http://vz.to/1qjiOs7

    Since we are all only end users here like yourself, nobody here would know such information. However, you can leave feedback to Apple on this through this link.

    You need to upgrade OS X.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Thank you very much for your help. Now, I was able to install the update (Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5, Mac). But I couldn’t mark the answer as correct. I didn’t find the „correct“ button.   
    Kind regards

    OK, here's the Windows version of the update:
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
    and for Mac:
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop 12.0.4 update for Adobe Photoshop CS5
    Of course, ignore the idiotic recommendation that appears there to try to use Help > Updates.  We already know that doesn't work.

  • This morning i tried to restore my ipod and it said:"the ipod "ipod cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavalible." i have no idea what to do and i need help

    this morning i tried to restore my ipod and it said:"the ipod "ipod cannot be restored at this time because the ipod software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily unavalible." i have no idea what to do and i need help.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • HT3275 I keep getting the "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while copying files to backup volume.  The solution on the website is try try again.  Its been trying for 5 days now.  Now what?  Obviously something else needs to be done.

    Verify the backup.
    Is this TM you are using? TM to airport extreme connected hard disk are known to be fragile at best.
    A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    make sure the disk is available and online..
    But if it is not working.. then you will have to wipe and start again.

    If this is not TM then also verify the source disk.

  • The colors in Photoshop CC are very dull

    I have just downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CC and the colors after selection are very dull, for want of a better word.  The swatches are all bit, the color selection panel is bright and full color, but after selection, and implimentation on an image are dull, and cerytainly not correct.  The monitor is registering colors correctly.  I must have pressed something, or changedf something but know not waht. Grateful for any advice

    Look at colour spaces.   How are you bringing the images into Photoshop?  If RGB are they sRGB or Adobe RGB?  If RAW, how do you have Camera RAW preferences set? 
    Have a look at Soft Proofing under the View menu.  Try setting it to Monitor RGB and toggle on and off with Ctrl(Cmd) y

  • When I use the "snapshot tool" some images are very light. how can I adjust the brightness....

    I have windows 7 and Acrobat X Pro.
    When I use the snapshot tool I cannot figure out how to adjust the brightness on that image? On my old computer a picture tollbar would pop up. A lot of images are very light and I need to darken them.

    My not be much you can do. However, I would just clip them into my favorite image tool (in my case IrfanView) and adjust there.

  • I upgraded to ios7 and now the keys on my iphone are very slow, each letter takes 5 seconds to appear on screen.

    I cannot type properly in applications because each key jams and takes a long time to load on the screen.  It is very frustrating!

    Um, most intelligent people would stop whining and read then follow the troubleshooting steps in the thread to which they replied.
    Of course, there's always basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide which is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is fixed.

    Again, fix it yourself.  There is nothing for Apple to fix as the issue does not affect all iPhones, merely a fraction of less than 1%.

  • The new versons of flashplugin are very slow?

    Hi,
    I discovered some flicker issues when viewing flash clips in fullscreen.
    I downgraded the flashplugin to
    flashplugin-10.1.85.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
    and everything seems to be fine again.
    The biggest plus for the old version can be seen with sites that display more than one flashplayer at a page, for example
    http://www.blisteredthumbs.net/2011/04/ … ive-build/
    With the new flashplugin version, I'm barely able to scroll the page (in Opera and Firefox), but with the old version it scrolls smoothly.
    Can anyone confirm this?
    If so, it may be useful to open a bugreport?
    Andi

    Flash is closed source, all we can do is package the binary.  File a bug report with Adobe by all means.
