my mac is running OSX 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to 10.6?

Check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If it does... then you need to Purchase the Snow Leopard Disc and Install it.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
Would Also Recommend that you do a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive Before attempting any Major Upgrade...
By far the easiest way to make a Backup, is to use something like
SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/

  • Using Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8) to host web sites on LAN

    I would like to know how to use a Mac Mini running OSX Server (10.8 ML) to host web sites on my home network (LAN).
    I am developing web sites and previously (before ML) I used my Mac Pro to 'host' the sites I was developing to test them out before publishing them to my hosting package.  That was when I was using 10.7 Lion and theer was an option in the System Preferences to turn web sharing on.
    I have since upgraded my Mac client to 10.8 ML and have configured it to do the same - even though there is no System Preferences option for web sharing any more.
    I also have a Mac Mini running on my LAN and its been upgraded to OSX Server 10.8.
    Im now trying to configure it to host the web sites I am developing but with no success.
    I thought it was just a matter of adding them as sites in the Server's Websites panel (see screen shot)
    but so far Ive had no success.
    On my Mac client I can simply add a folder in the Sites directory and then open the web site by putting http://myhost/~myuser/name-of-folder and it will load the default file in the folder e.g. index.html
    How do I achieve the 'same thing' on OSX Server?

  • I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3

    I am getting Error 150:30 when I launch CS4 on a new Mac Mini running OSX 10.9.3.
    The application was restored from a backup using Apple Time Machine.
    I would reinstall the applications, since I have the original disks, but alas, the Mac Mini has no external drive.
    Any ideas?

    CS4 is untested and unsupported under 10.9.x
    That said, you should uninstall everything run the cleaner tool and then download the CS4 installer and try it again.
    If that doesn’t do it, you’re on your own.

  • I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted.

    I have a Mac Pro Running OSX Leopard that the OS has gotten corrupted. Can I boot and install OSX Snow Leopard instead of reinstalling OSX Leopard?

    Buy a new drive.
    Leave your corrupt Leo system as is.
    Maybe you own Disk Warrior? maybe not.
    If you don't own Carbon Copy Cloner, invest in it. It can verify and do checksum on all files. So too can Lloyd's File Integrity app.
    But you are overdue probably for a new system drive. My vote today is pick up a 120GB Samsung 840 SSD for $90 is fine, will feel like a new computer and is room enough for system and apps. All your data needs to go to drive #2.
    With a clone you should never have to reinstall. But you would have bootable backups from points in time, like right after installing, right before making changes.
    If you are running Leo then it has to be Early 2008 or before, a 3,1 or maybe 1,1 or 2,1 model.
    Leo is not receiving security updates. Snow is, but Lion is even more secure and runs on all Mac Pro models. It does drop support for all the older PowerPC programs and drivers.
    You should insure that you are prepared for any updates needed even for 10.6.8.

    I have an imac running osx 10.4.11 and need to upgrade to at least 10.5. Where can I find it?

    Not having enough space on your hard drive is a problem in itself, OS X likes 10-20% free in order to operate smoothly. Right click on your hard drive icon and choose Get Info to see how much you have free. There are several free applications that will help you identify what is taking up so much space just Google it. Here's a CNet article on one

    Deleted safari from powerbook G4 15in running OSX 10.5.8 how do I get it back

    Did you just delete the Safari icon from the dock? If so, bring up Finder, choose applications, and drag the Safari icon back to the dock.  However, if you really deleted it (dragged it to the trash and emptied the trash) ... you can download it from the OS X 10.5 Leopard install disk, using the optional installs. After clicking on optional installs, click on applications, and choose Safari.

  • 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.

    I can't find iDvD on my Macbook Pro...running OSX Lion...how can I get it?

    IDVD is sold separately.  (There are no realistic alternatives to iDVD.)
    You'll find it on the iLife 11 disc. Once installed Apple's website will update it to the latest version automatically.

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to Snow Leopard to upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Your machine is likely too dated to run 10.8 at all , or if it does will run slow.
    It won't run your PPC based software or hardware drives for external hardware.
    10.6 will run your PPC software and likely is best for that machine performance speaking, Software Update to 10.6.8 and stay there.
    You better do your research first.

  • Mac OS X version 10.5.8 how do I upgrade the version?

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 how do I upgrade the version?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, check that your computer is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 Then, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade. It will install 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8. With this, you will have the most recent Snow Leopard version. Now you can stay with Snow Leopard or upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion, if you want
