I am currently at System 10.5.8. I want to upgrade to the latest system. Can I upgrade to 10.7.3 without upgradng to 10.6 first?

Yes, but unless you have a very slow Internet connection, it's easier and cheaper to go through Mac OS X 10.6.

I have never seen this before. Try using these installers

Just did the latest system updates, restart & won't boot

just did the latest system updates, and keep on getting grey page, apple logo & spinning icon??

If you read any of the posts about wireless lack of connectivity, I think you will discover that your problem is related to their problems. Some people have Kernal panics immediatley, and if you have a wireless setup and the machine is trying to connect wirelessly, it kernal panics and doesn't continue. If this is not the case, write back so that further troubleshooting can take place. By the way it would help if you posted whether your MacBook was a Core2 duo (Broadcom wireless chipset) or Core Duo (Atheros wireless chipset) in addition to the type of router you're using. This gives technicians info they need to duplicate the problem.

Has anyone else had problems with the latest system updates to Mac OS X v10.6.8 with the java virus patch?

After installing the latest updates to Snow Leopard the system hangs up and will not open properly. This is the update to Java, etc after the virus was discovered. I have done the updates on four different systems with the same result.

No problems with the Java update here, although I have Java disabled. Might try reapplying the Java standalone while in Safe Boot (Shift at startup chime), if you did it from Software Update.

Why is my iMac so slow now? Ever since I did the latest system update yesterday everything takes forever.

Ever since doing the recommended system update yesterday, my iMac has been e-x-t-r-e-m-e-l-y s-l-o-w. I get a spinning beachball with every mouse click, even just clicking on a red dot to close a window. Any suggestions?

Try Applejack.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/applejack/
Article on using:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10334620-263.html?tag=mfiredir
It runs in single user mode. After installing (you won't see it in the Applications Folder) hold CMD-S at startup. You will get a black screen with MS-DOS like text. Just follow the prompts: type in "applejack AUTO" and it will run through the following:
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
You can also run tasks selectively and for specific users by typing in "applejack." After running in "AUTO," you can go back and run it again as "applejack," steps 3 & 4 only, for your user.
The first reboot will take much longer than usual, as it rebuilds caches. It may take several restarts to see the benefits. Because of the deep cache cleaning in AUTO mode some applications may tell you they are being opened for the first time.
NOT YET UPDATED FOR LION

Also, try applying the 10.6.8 Combo update.

Not running the latest System Font versions

I have been comparing the Version numbers of the System Fonts on my iMac and the numbers giving on the Apple support page. Seems like my Mac is not running the latest versions even though I have always updated to the latest versions of OS X. Should I be worried?
I have reinstalled the System Fonts from the DVD that came with my Mac with Pacifist and installed the 10.5.7 Combo Update but it's still the same.
Any other ideas on how I can update the fonts to the latest versions?

Yes, for examle it says Version 6.0d7e1 for Courier.dfont on that page.
In my System Library it is version 5.1d1e1 for Courier.dfont
Indeed, your version is the one used in Tiger. I don't know how you could wind up with that one rather than the Leopard version.
The quality of all of my fonts has suffered since the 10.5.7 update.
What do you mean exactly by the "quality" having suffered?

Troubleshoot: when I try to update my Iphone 4 (ios 4.3.3) to the latest ios via itunes. It gives me a message "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." Why?

Hello - I am trying to update my Iphone 4 from its current Ios (4.3.3) to the latest Ios (7.x.x?). I currently do not sync using icloud, and have only started syncing to my itunes today.
So far, I have backed up my Iphone using Itunes, transferred all my purchases using Itunes, and imported all my photos using Iphoto.
Then clicked on my Iphone in the left hand Column and in the screen that appeared found the "Update" button. Next to the update button read "A newer version of the iPhone software is available (version7.0). To update your iPhone with the latest software, click Update."
I then clicked the "Update" button and a pop-up message reading "This version of iTunes (10.6.3) is the current version." appeared.
Please advise why this happened, and how I should go about restoring and updating this Iphone.
After updating to the latest IOS, my next step will be to sign up for iCloud.
Thanks clever mac folk!

Hello hsielglad,
Thank you for your question. iTunes 11.1 is required to update to and sync with iOS 7. If you are still running iTunes 10.6.3, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

HT4718 FileVault 2, the Recovery System, and the use of Disk Utility

I have FileVault 2 turned on for my Lion-equipped Powerbook Pro. When booting from the Recovery System, however, the Disk Utility thereon cannot even verify the internal HD, much less repair anything. I am aware that this is due to the encryption, of course.
However, for external encrypted drives, all I need to do is enter the password to mount them. So is there something that one can do in order to get the Disk Utility on the Recovery System -- on this very same drive -- to recognize the main volume, in order to enable it to perform diagnostics?
Secondarily, if I put the Powerbook Pro into target mode, and connect it to another Mac (which I have not tried yet) will I be able to mount it from the other computer if (A) It is running Lion OSX or higher, and (B) I can provide one or more of the login passwords?
I am one who has always liked to keep my hard drives running smoothly (e.g using Disk Warrior, Drive Genius, Disk Utility...whatever). So this is a bit foreign to me to be unable to run at least basic diagnostics. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you're talking about just the Recovery HD, you only need 1GB so use a 4GB USB thumb drive and the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to create it.
If you're talking about the ML installer (installESD.dmg) use an 8GB USB thumb drive.

What do I need to be able to upgrade my leopard macbook pro to the newest system software?

I have the following Macbook Pro:
Model Name:          MacBook Pro
Model Identifier:          MacBookPro5,3
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          4 GB

Boot ROM Version:          MBP53.00AC.B03
SMC Version (system):          1.48f2
I have been running Leopard because I have been able to use my old Appleworks program to run my collection of old files. I just bought an oPhone 5 and I realize that I have to make the jump over to the latest system software. What steps do I need to take to get my Macbook Pro over to the latest Mountain Lion? Can I save my important files to an external drive and then just wipe the macbook drive clean and start anew?

A service like efax is the easiest way. You get a phone number assigned so that you can receive, and to send you email and they send it out as a fax.

To get the logical system names of all the child systems in a CUA envirnmnt

Hi Gurus ,
Is there any table where we can find the logical system names of all the child sytems in a CUA environment .
This is for a requirement that i need to develop an automated process where we can reset the password of all the child system in a CUA environemt when requested by the user at once .
I found some tables such as V_TBDLS , but they do not contain the exact information what i need .
Thanks in advance ,
Harshit Rungta

Hi,
You are in the right track. BD54 will show you the logical system name for all the existed systems in CUA.
Else you can also go to your CUA system and execute t-code SALE --> Basic Setting --->Logical Systems ---> Assign logical system to client -
> Display details
here you can see logical system names for all the clients assigned to CUA.
Thanks,
Deb

Are there any known issues with the latest update to iTunes on Windows 7 maxing out the processor and nearly bringing the system to a hault.

Has anyone experienced an issue with the latest update to iTunes (11.2.0.115) for Windows where iTunes pegs out the processor at 97%, 98%, and holds there for maybe 15 minutes before dropping to 50%. During that time, the system is basically useless. You just have to ride it out. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.

Hi OnceBeforeIDie,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Take a look at the article below, it has some some tips that will resolve a performance issues like the one you described.

All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software

All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix it?

10.7.5 is not the latest system, 10.8.3 is. However your message sounds like a Kernel Panic, does the message look similar to About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages? If so, then if you can get the machine to restart normally then please post the Kernel Panic Report which you can find by following directions in How to log a kernel panic. Please post back with the KP log, and we can take a look. However if the machine continues to not restart then my guess is a hardware failure suck as a hard disk or failed RAM in which case you should take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for repair.
