1. It depends on what Mac model you have. If it's incapable of running Yosemite, installing an intermediate version won't help with that.
2. You'll lose the ability to run PowerPC software, and some other programs may also be incompatible. If something goes wrong, you might lose data; back your computer up first. There aren't any issues specifically associated with skipping versions.

I just purchased an Iphone 5 and trying to synch to my mac. I am unable to synch as need to upgrade to minimum osx version 10.6.8. Currently running osx 10.5.8. Is there any way to upgrade?
If you're using a PowerPC Mac, no.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

Would like to get Messages on Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.5 so that I can sync with iMessages from my iPhone 3GS. Not sure if this is possible though. Or do you have to have Mountain Lion to get Messages? It seems that I only have iChat on my Macbook.
Thank you!!You need to have Mountain Lion to get it.

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download Yosemite from the Mac App Store.

With the coming of OSX Mountain Lion, will apple be supporting a late 2006 I mac currently running OSX Lion?
Ahhhh. Well, now you have earned a "Slap Kappy" coupon good for one slap. Expires in 30 days.
The 64-bit kernel thing will leave a lot of use behind. My main machine is a 2006 Mac Pro on which I've spent some money putting in two 4-core CPUs and an ATI 5770 GPU in the past year. If I want to run ML I can't do so. The only options I have for a desktop Mac is either a newer Mac Pro model - post 2007 - used or refurbed or a recent or new iMac. This assumes the Mac Pro line may be dropped. Apple has been very mum on that.
Clearly, Apple wants to get users of older hardware to buy new machines in order to run ML now and in the future. Because it is possible to boot the older models with the 64-bit kernel via some hacking, Apple might have been able to install ML on them by adding some code and retaining 32-bit drivers where needed, but they've chosen not to take that route. I think it's a bit of a marketing ploy to help drive up sales of new Macs, but I appreciate that Apple has chosen to abandon legacy support in the past in order to avoid having an OS like Windows - bloated by support for older and older hardware. -
I have an iMac S/N QP******VUW currently running OSX 10.5.8. 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB 667 MHz RAM. To what OSX level can I update this model?

I tried adding more ram but the Mac would't even boot with 2x2GB installed. I figured that it was limited so I forgot about it. Wha's the advantage of adding it if it is not recognized?
Chances are you either did not install or correctly or added the incorrect RAM. -
I have a PowerPC G4, 1.5 Ghz, with 1.5 GB of ram.
Currently running OSX 10.4.11.
Question: Can I upgrade to 10.5.8 (or higher)? Need to load new software and said that was the minumum requirement was 10.5.8
Thanks, WPC-2012Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

I bought my macbook pro in march 2007. I am currently running osx 10.6.8, but want to upgrade to lion or mtn lion. Apple website says i need a mid 2007 or later macbook pro, how do I tell if my Macbook pro will support this upgrade?
The Mid-2007 model didn't come out until June 2007, so you must have bought an earlier model. It won't run Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.x), but it might run Lion (10.7.x) if you can get hold of a copy, depending on which earlier model it is.
Lion requires at least a Intel Core 2 Duo processor. The first MacBook Pros came out in January 2006, but they had "Core Duo" processors (no "2"). The Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros came out in October 2006. You could have bought either in March 2007. -
Virtual machine of Lion OSx 10.7 server on my MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7?
I'd like to create a better disaster recovery plan. My thought was to create a virtual machine of Lion OSx 10.7 server on my MacBook Pro running 10.7. Is that even possible?
Disasters for you primary tends to take down the disk. That would kill your VM 10.7 Server fail-over.
Yes, you can VM "server", but I advise using CarbonCopyClone to keep a copy of the main disk but on an external drive, two separate external drives if you can afford it. CCC will clone the Recovery Partition, and the odds of all three drives failing at the same time are very low. Just keep the clones current by backing up at least once a week, if not once a day. You can rotate one of the clones to a freind's house for better protection. -
i currently have a 2207 iMac and I'm running tiger. I had an iPod classic which synced up beautifully but it has just died. iPod touch's are the only things that are on the market now as classic are no more. I've been told that an iPod touch won't qork on tiger operating system and I need to get snow lWoodard. Can I upgrade straight to snow leopard or do I need to get leopard first? Also will the new iPod touches work with snow leopard? Many thanks, please help me as I keep getting different answers. Ben
And the only way to figure that out would be verifying my disk using the Disk Utility?
Thank you for that. If I am not missing out on anything by skipping Lion then that will be my option. A few extra dollars in my pocket is always a good thing. -
I am running OSx 10.7.5 on 2008 MacBook is it possible to run 10.8.?
I am running OSx 10.7.5 on 2008 MacBook is it possible to run 10.8.?
So early white is a no.
I'm afraid so. The tech specs for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are the same. -
Currently running Lion, want to move to server, do I need to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, or will it come with the Server purchase?
No. Mountain Lion Client and Server are two separate purchases and downloads. You will need to upgrade to both.

I am currently running version 10.4.11 on my computer, I need to upgrade to 10.5. Do I need to upgrade or get a new full version?
You need to purchase the retail version on a disc with a black face and a big X on it. Do not buy a grey-faced version, that would be machine specific and won't work for you.

I am running version 10.7.5 on my MacBook Pro. can I upgrade directly to Mavericks or do I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion first, then Mavericks?
As long as your MacBook Pro is in the ML compatible list, http://www.apple.com/osx/specs it is compatible with Mavericks and you can go directly to Mavericks.
