    Hello,
    I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?  I need to be able to download some graphics apps from the Mac store and I do not have that capability with 10.5.8.

    Make sure your machine supports Snow Leopard requirements. The same with Mountain Lion if you want to move even further up the animal kingdom.

  • I have a mac book 10.6.8 that has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (latest version.) How can I upgrade to mountain lion with 1GB of memory? When I go to buy it, it says that it's not compatible with my Mac but my Mac has all of the qualifications.

    If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
    Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.

    You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11.  iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can't upgrade without more RAM.
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."

  • Upgrading to os mountain lion without the App Store

    Hello, is it possible to upgrade to mountain lion without the App Store? Our iMac is 10.5.8 is it possible to buy a disk from an apple store to upgrade?

    1. Not directly. The installer must be downloaded from the Mac App Store and run on Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer, including an external drive with a bootable OS on it. It also can't upgrade a 10.5.8 or earlier system.
    2. No.

    First, you'll have to determine if your iMac can run Mountain Lion at all. See:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
    If it can - and it would have to be a mid-2007 model; no earlier iMac can run Mountain Lion - then you'll have to get the iMac to Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. From there, assuming your system meets the rest of the system requirements, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion through the Mac App Store.
    Regards.

    If you go to http://www.apple.com/osx and then to the Tech Specs page (upper right) you will get a listing of supported hardware...that will tell you if your MBP will run Mountain Lion.

  • I have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    i have Logic Pro 8 on my Snow leopard macbook.Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    It's not a bug. Although Logic 8 will run under 10.7.x and 10.8.x the installer contains PPC code which simply does not run in 10.7.x, 10.8.x and 10.9. The app is fine, the installer is the issue.
    Some research on this issue has led me to the conclusion that the commonly held conception that the installer has PPC code is flatly incorrect.
    That misconception is due to the fact that the PowerPC dialog box is triggered by any attempt to launch the installer app.
    The "bug" I reference triggers this dialog box; not PPC code within the Logic Pro 8 app. 
    At the end of the day, the result is the same: the installer app will NOT work in Mt. Lion without modification.  I have been given a tip on how to make a modification that will allow an analogous program's installer app work in Mt. Lion, but since I do not have access to a copy of Logic Pro 8, I cannot test this theory.
    So, yes, the best approach is to be sure it is fully installed before the upgrade!

  • How do I upgrade to mountain lion if I'm running leopard?

    How do I upgrade to mountain lion if I'm running leopard?

    Before you buy anything, first make sure your Mac is compatible.
    Minimum specs for Snow Leopard.  Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -       Read the Technical Specifications
    For Mountain Lion.                     Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Once you've upgraded you will need to apply the Combo updater for Snow Leopard.          Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Remember to repair permissions both before and after each upgrade/update.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion.    Start by buying the Snow Leopard retail disc
    10.6.3, then update to 10.6.8 via the combo updater >>>
    You can no longer buy Snow Leopard from Apple retail, only as follows.  If you are in North America ... Buying Snow leopard from Apple.      Last I read, you must call them (1-800-MY-APPLE). It is $29 plus tax for family pack and $19 plus tax for a single.
    In Europe or otherwise call your National Apple Helpline … http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

    I have a pre-2008 Mac PRO how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion? On the Apple's site on upgrading (http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/), I see that "Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)" is required for the upgrade. What's up with that?
    Will upgrading of the GPU do the trick?
    I'm curretly on Snow Leopard, will I be limited to Lion?

  • Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from guest user/other computer?

    I am currently using Snow Leopard. I can't log into the Mac app store. I have spent ages chatting with apple support trying a million things, including reinstalling Snow Leopard, in order to make the app store work for me, and still haven't found a way.
    I'd already bought Mountain Lion on the apple store online before I realised I had this problem. I can log into the App store as a guest, or test user, but not as my main admin account.
    What I'm wondering is, if I can log in to the App Store under a different user, then install it,... or on someone else's mac, then put the installer on a USB and install it from the USB. I'm hoping if I can just find a workaround to upgrade to ML then hopefully the App store problem will go away. Or at least I will have upgraded finally.
    If anybody can advise me on if I can do this, let me know. PS: I do not want to upgrade to Yosemite so please don't suggest that. Thanks.

    Yes. You can download it on a standard account, and after it's downloaded, run the installer from your admin account. Or you could download it on another Mac, and transfer the installer to your Mac.
