HT6400 What do I need to do/get to update from Leopard (10.5.8) to Mavericks (10.9.5)

I forgot to do the Snow Leopard update and now I can't find that update so that I can ultimately update to Mavericks. How can I get the Snow Leopard update on my iMac? I have a 2GHz Intel core 2 Duo, and 1 GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks 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- System Requirements
      Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         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.

  • WELL, WHAT DO WE DO NOW  ??? you answered me !! The problem is across all actions on the display on screen . No matter what I do. I tried getting driver updates from INTeL but even if I tell them it is a Mac the system sends me Drivers for Windows..

    well I'm sure this MacBook Pro 13' (right outa the box) needs driver updates. Is it a retina version ?? I don't know..?? but before I take it back. I want to try everything.

    MacOS X should already include the correct drivers as part of the OS. Figure it out: they built the MacBook Pro and they built the operating system...  they knew what they would be working with.
    Mavericks is brand new and may have the odd fault, but if you're having basic display problems with a new machine it's probably hardware. Take your machine to a Mac Store. This is why they have warranties.
    ps: using very large and/or bold characters is equated with shouting and is considered rude. plain old font works best.
    p.s.s.: You posted in the Mac Pro forum (for the big workstation systems) not the MacBook Pro forum (for laptops.)

  • HT1338 I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?

    I  had the geek squad from bestbuy supposedly install iphoto 11 on my mac but it is not there and when i try to download it it say the app has been download by another user on this machine.  What do i need to do get get this app on my system?  If they could not do it right the first time I do not have much faith in their advice.

    Assuming you've done a system wide search for it including the Applications folder and it's not there......
    I think you will need to address this with them - did you pay them for the application? Or was your purchase price to include it? And the question(s) to ask them:
    If the app store states that it has been downloaded, ask them where it is and which Apple ID they used. (the store keeps track of Apple IDs and machine IDs on everything you download).
    I have absolutely no faith in their advice; however, in this case, it's not so much technical advice, but an answer to your questions: you paid for something and it appears not to be there.

    what is the best way to get adware off from my Macbook? I seem to be infected.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

    Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
    After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.
    What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Mr. Clark,
    You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
    Does your Print dialog look like this:
    Or like this:
    If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:

  • What is the best way to get my pictures from a memory stick to my iPad?

    What is the best way to get my pictures from a memory stick to my iPad?

    Technically, they will import off your flash drive....if it's one of the models that work (maybe 50% do) and if they meet the very rigid naming convention that the iPad insists on.
    It's far easier to use a computer then either sync them on via iTunes, e-mail them to yourself or upload them to something like dropox, then download them onto your device.

    Contact the manufacturer (Canon?). 

  • If I reinstall my FCE 3.5 from the original discs, will I be able to get the updates from Apple?

    System has begun crashing (dropping-windowshade, message to shut down computer) during attempted capture or render.  Hardware has been checked out and is OK.  Other OS functions seem to be working.  I have a bootable clone from the most recent period of good function, and also my original install disc for FCE. 
    If I need to try reinstalling FCE, are the updates still available from Apple?
    If I can't restore FCE 3.5, is there anything I can use with my OS 4.11 MBP that will be able to access my FCE 3.5 project files?  My 3+TB of underwater clips, stored on external drives as QT movies? 
    Any guidance appreciated.  This forum helped me out a lot when I first started - didn't expect the end to come so soon & hope there's a feasible workaround!
    Thanks,
    Sharron S.

    If I reinstall my FCE 3.5 from the original discs, will I be able to get the updates from Apple?
    Yes, via Software Update
    Here is an article on how to Uninstall FCE HD  You could also use  FCS Remover (note there are different versions depending on what version of OS X you have - be sure to select the correct version)
    If I can't restore FCE 3.5, is there anything I can use with my OS 4.11 MBP that will be able to access my FCE 3.5 project files?
    - FCE project files - only usable with FCE or FCP.  Not iMovie or FCP-X
    - All your clips, however, can be used with almost anything including iMovie, FCP, FCP-X, QuickTime, etc.

  • After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
    Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
    Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
    By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

  • Cannot get all updates from iTunes software

    Hello. There is a strange problem.
    Sometimes, when I open iTunes from my computer, a small number will be displayed after "Apps".
    When I click the "Apps", I can also see that there are some updates available from the bottom link text.
    But after I click that bottom link, I cannot get all programs which need to be update listed. When I update all listed, iTunes still says there are some apps to be updated, but when I click that bottom link, only a text "No updates are currently available. To check for updates for another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID."
    At that time, I can get all updates from my iPhone - Apple Store. So all have to do, is update all apps from my iPhone and sync it back. But if some apps are not installed on this iPhone, I have no way to update it.
    BTW, I've tried to click Store - Check for available downloads from iTunes on my computer. It's useless in this case.
    Any solution? Thanks.

    It think its a bug. I got the same results under MX 7.0.2.
    The topic of maxrows recently came up on another thread. I
    did some searching and according to TechNote 18339 there was a
    change with maxrow
    "<cfquery maxrows=N> bug. ColdFusion MX (until ColdFusion
    MX 7.0.1 CHF2) didn't pass maxrows to the underlying driver
    (statement.setMaxRows())"
    Given the results you're getting, it sounds like CF is
    applying the maxrow to all of the resultsets, not just the one
    where maxrows was declared. I suspect cfstoredproc's usage of
    statement.setMaxRows() is incorrect. Thats just a guess though.
    Bottom line, I think you'll need handle it manually.
    Personally, I would recommend placing the row count logic in the
    stored procedure (if possible). The overall results will be more
    consistent and you won't have to worry about this kind of issue
    again.

  • What happens to iweb-built site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3), and subsequently upgrade to 10.6.8 or even 10.7? Will fonts stay the same? Will layout change? Or anything else change? Thanks

    What happens to iweb-build site when I upgrade from Leopard (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) and subsequently update that to 10.6.8 or even to 10.7? Evidently iweb has been discontinued. I have version 3.0.3 of iweb now but understand that there's been an update for OS 10.6 so same question goes for this update.
    Will fonts change? Will layout change? Will widgets still work? Links? Will Google Analytics PlugIn still work?
    (Since MobileMe is disappearing, I now save iweb site to local folder on my computer, then upload it to GoDaddy using Cyberduck. I run Google Analytics plug in on folder before its uploaded.)
    My computer, MacBook Pro came with iweb, which has been updated to 3.0.3. Since iweb is discontinued, will upgrade of operating system just ignore iweb so that iweb will run the same as before? Or will it wipe it out? Or change how it currently works (questions above).
    Thanks

    As you now know iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    Currently if the site is published directly from iWeb to the 3rd party server the RSS feed and slideshow subscription features will work. However, if the site is first published to a folder on the hard drive and then uploaded to the sever with a 3rd party FTP client those two features will be broken.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: iW14 - Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    NOTE: the iLife 11 boxed version Is no longer available at the online Apple Store.  To get a copy you'll have to try Amazon.com or eBay.com.

  • Windows 2012 r2 not able to get windows updates from WSUS 2012 r2

    One of our windows 2012 R2 server is not getting windows updates from WSUS 2012 R2 but other 2012 R2 are getting updates.
    I found on windowsupdate log on the server saying "WARNING: Failed to get Network Cost info from NLM, assuming network is NOT metered, error = 0x80240037"
    Not sure what is the issue.

    I believe the warning isn't really relevant in this case. Could you post a recent section from the windowsupdate.log from that machine?
    0x80240037 WU_E_NOT_SUPPORTED The functionality for the operation is not supported.
