I am trying to upgrade from Lion 10.7.5 to mavericks, it says I need 10.9 before 10.9.5. I cannot find 10.9, any suggestions?

Upgrading from Lion 10.7.5 to Maverick, will not allow upgrade to 10.9.5, says I need 10.9, which I cannot find. Any suggestions?

You probably downloaded the 10.9.5 Update, which only updates previous versions of Mavericks.
Mavericks itself is only available through the App Store:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-mavericks/id675248567?mt=12

  • Everyone keeps talking about an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard for $29 but I cannot find it anywhere-any suggestions?

    Good news for current buyers ... single user SL is down to $19, 5-user family-pack is down to $29 ... I would buy the 5-user license to avoid need ing to buy it again after Apple stops selling it.

  • Question on upgrade from Lion 10.7.5 to Mavericks

    I have Lion 10.7.5 and I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks 10.9. I follow the straight forward instructions and then when I get to the App store panel and click the download button the Star spins and then nothing happens. I am logged in with my apple ID 

    To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.
    If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.
    Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
    When it's finished downloading it looks like this:
    If it really is not downloading read Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
    Open the Mac App Store.
    From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases to get to your Purchases Page.
    Click the Resume button next to the app name.

  • Just purchased 27" iMac had my iTunes library on PC on an external drive I've been trying to copy from pc external drive to mac external drive. at a certain point while copying i get error system 8260 unable to continue any suggestions

    trying to copy my Itunes music library from external drive(previously had PC) to new hard drive. at a certain point system error 8260 warning appears unable to continue coppying

    What formats are the two drives?  NTSF on the PC side is usually not readable by Macs unless they have changed something recently or you are using some third party support.
    Since this is a file copying issue and not really iTunes, you might wish to have this moved to the Lion forums since people there might recognize it.  I couldn't find that error anywhere on the web for Mac.

  • My firefox seems to be stuck in downloading an update 3.6. I tried to uninstall and it wouldn't let me as it says it needs to finish installing a prior update. Cannot acces firefox at all.

    It keeps asking me to restart the system, but the same problem occurs after many restarts. It would seem to me the best thing to do is uninstall and reinstall, but I can't even uninstall. Sent many automatic crash reports. No reply from Firefox.

    you should uninstall, clean (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6) and then reinstall.
    or you can update directly.

  • I have done all the updates necessary and uploaded my songs from my iPad but GarageBand continues to tell me I need a more updated version to open them on my Mac. Any suggestions?

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.5 and GarageBand 6.0.5
    My iPad has iOS 7 as well.
    If you have any advice it would be very appreciated, I have downloaded everything possible and can't seem to find a solution to this.

    the latest version of GB for iOS requires the latest version of GB for the Mac which is version 10 (which is free, but also requires OS X 10.9 [though that is also free])

    Justin,
    In addition to what mo said, some have found that the page with the direct download link,

    may turn up blank to start with, so it may be necessary to reload the page.

    Please google search for "Mountain Lion disk crash" before upgrading you mac pro. You might need to replace you Mac hard drive after the upgrade.So many people had the same problems including me.
    Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem.

    install 6.5 before proceeding further. I coud not understand.
    Just what it says - install os 10.6.5 before proceeding further.  You can either do so through Software Update or use the Combo update from Apple's download site.
    You should repair permissions and restart your computer prior to updating and upgrading.

  • I bought Snow Leopard and my MacBook Pro rejects the disc. Trying to upgrade from Leopard in order to upgrade to Lion.  Why is the disc being rejected before it even shows on the desktop?

    Snow Leopard Update.  I bought the updated but my computer - a MacBook Pro - rejects the disc befoe anything appears on the desktop.  I am trying tp upgrade from Leopard to Lion. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    Thanks

    You need to check to see if your machine can handle Lion, it needs 4GB and a Intel Core 2 Duo or better.
    Download the free MacTracker and see more specifics of everything.
    http://mactracker.ca/
    Next, you must realize that your Rosetta PPC based programs will not operate under Lion, likely you will have to buy all new programs.
    If you machine is dated, a lot of the trackpad gesture features you won't have.
    Check the source of all your third party sofftware and hardware drivers for scanners, all-in-one's and the like to make sure they work or there are updates, or upgrades available and how much.

    IDEALLY, it's best to backup files and then "fresh install" Snow Leopard clean, then upgrade to Lion.
    Also you should make a option bootable clone of Snow Leopard on a external drive, this will allow you to return if something doesn't work.
    You can learn all of this and more at my exhaustive post here, enjoy.

  • Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

    Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
    I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

    Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

  • How can I upgrade from Lion OS X to Mountain Lion OS X

    Hi my question is "How can I upgrade from Lion OS X to Mountain Lion OS X?"
    I don't want to lose any data from my current Lion OS X, at the same time I don't have enough external HDD to backup. I tried to do the same was as http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/ says but I didn't get Mountain Lion OS X as an option for update.
    Pleade advice,
    Mustafa

    Well, right.  In 99.99% of cases you shouldn't lose any data.
    But if something goes wrong, well, if you don't have a backup you're SOL.
    You truly don't have ANY drive that you're using for Time Machine?
    FYI: It's not a matter of IF, but WHEN, your hard drive will fail.  It will eventually happen, so you should have a backup, unless you don't have any data you care about.

  • Error Message of disk not formatted when trying to upgrade to Lion

    I am trying to upgrade to Lion and have received an error message stating "The disk in not formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).  Use disk utility to enable.
    What exactly am I supposed to do in Disk Utility?
    I opened it up and I wasn't sure if I am supposed to reformat? Repair? Partition?  Am I supposed to be reformatting as an Extended Mac OS?
    How exactly do I do that?
    Basically has anyone encountered this and what steps are needed to continue from this point?

    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the volume to enable or disable journaling on.
    To enable, click the Enable Journaling button or choose Enable Journaling from the File menu.

  • Can't upgrade from Lion 10.7.4 to 10.7.5.

    I keep trying unsuccessfully to upgraded from Lion 10.7.4 to 10.7.5.  I keep getting an error that says to power down and restart after the upgrade.  Is there a work around for this?  I'm worried that my security updates aren't being done.  I also cannot upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion either.  I have successfully restored everything from time machine backup several times.  Just can't update.  My MBP is a late 2008 5,1.  In an effort not to flood this forum, my specs are at http://pastebin.com/kCdgnG5T. 
    Thanks,
    tsairox

    I've tried the MacOSXCombo update with pressing the Option key upon restarting with no success before my first post here (then restored the whole system), but not the Shift key you're speaking of.  Do you feel this will make a big difference?
    Thanks,

  • Started to upgrade from Lion got interrupted and now it won't download

    Started to upgrade from Lion got interrupted and now it won't download

    Hello webejamn,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to download and install OS X Mavericks.  It sounds like the download from the Mac App Store for OS X Mavericks was interrupted and didn't complete. 
    I recommend the following step when an Mac App Store download is interrupted:
    If downloading an app is interrupted
    Once an Internet connection is reestablished, your purchased downloads should automatically restart. The Mac App Store may alert you that there was an issue with the download and ask if you'd like to restart the download(s). Confirming will restart all pending downloads. For more information on this topic, see Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads.
    Note: The download time will vary according to the file's size and your Internet connection speed. Refer to this article about iTunes Store purchases for more information about download times for large files.
