I can not upgrade my software from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8

Got a new iphone 5 and I can't connect to  itunes because system asking for upgrading my imac software   from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 - unfortunately system saying that my software is up to date and I'm in circle 

Going from Leopard 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 is paid upgrade. If yours is a PPCiMac you can not get further than Leopard. If it is an Intel iMac:
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

  • Can't upgrade my software from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.8. It does not appear in Software update either?

    Hi,
    My mail has stopped working on my Macbook and I think I need to update my software from OS X 10.6.8 to 10.8. Strangely though it does not appear in my software updates. Can anyone offer any advice?

    you need to buy 10.8 from the app store.  also, upgrading to a new version of OS X will most likely not fix the problem.

  • I can not upgrade to Maverick from the App store

    Though it is available for me to download.  My specs are: MacBook c. 2010, OS X Lion 10.7.5, 2GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM and 48GB free.  Is there aay for me to know what I am missing? Why it won't install?

    That could be one of two models with that designation. Neither of which will accept Mavericks.

  • My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incredible 2 cell phone and I can not transfer my photos from my cell phoen to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can no longer do so. i havenot upgraded to any new software.

    My MacBook Pro does not recognize my Android Incrdible 2 cell phone and therefore I can not transfer any photos from my cell phone to my Mac. I was able to do this in the past, but can not do so now. I have not upgraded to any new software. My USB cable is plugged in properly and I just get an error message -- "No Android Device Found". What could be the problem?

    I had the same issue with the Galaxy S4 trying to see what the hype was about and was my first and last android phone. With that being said unfortunately it is a hit or miss with the Mac recognizing an android device or not.  It worked perfectly fine the first time around and then it stopped working for no apparent reason. Through trial and error nothing I did solved the issue.   I did however plug it in my Mac and left it connected for about 30-40 min to charge for a bit and all of the sudden it recognizes the phone. So I just launched Android File Transfer and everything else became fluid after that.    I have no explanation as to why it happened that way, but what I gathered from this is maybe you just have to let it sit for a minute while plugged in before the Mac recognizes it, after all they are opposing software.  On a side note this is why I will always be an apple user, Iphones and the like never have this problem

  • I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

    I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

    That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?

  • HT1338 How can I upgrade my Mac OS X 10.5.8? I can not perform a software update

    I am trying to update my software to a OS X Mountain lion but can not.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    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.
    If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions.  The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)

  • HT1338 why can i not update my software from 10.6.8

    why can i not update my software from 10.6.8?

    Because there are no updates beyond OS X 10.6.8.
    If you want to upgrade to a later version, you have to buy it. Mountain Lion is $19.99 US.

  • Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

    Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
    When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
    checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
    From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
    is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
    I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
    I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
    I will appreciate your assistance.

    Hi,
    Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?
    I would like suggest you use Clean Boot to troubleshoot if there is third-party software conflict:

  • I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file.  How do I repair it? I can not remove itunes and start over.

    I can not upgrade from 10.2 to 10.6 because of missing "itunes.msi" file.  I can not delete ITunes and start over either.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can not upgrade from CC LR 5.7 to CC LR6

    CC Lightroom 5.7 says upgrade available. I installed the desktop installer (many times, signed in signed out, restarted Window 8 as a test). After running the installer it says all apps are up to date. No proposition for LR 6. At one moment a message came saying Adobe has to upgrade my catalog to version  6. It was done. Then starting LR again it was still 5.7. Synchronization had been disabled and LR said that this was a security catalog copy.
    Still unable to upgrade t version CC LR6

    I have LR CC and only 5.7 installed   "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Lightroom\lightroom.exe" .
    Adobe support asked me to uninstall and remove Lightroom CC (2015) "with app preferences" ...than re-install.
    I did this procedure but it is still LR 5.7 and still can not upgrade to  LR 6 ... even so LT updater tells me that there is an update but Creative Cloud Setup still tells me that Lightroom CC(2015) in Up to date. No progress from before.
    The story with the catalog update to LR6 seem odd, but it seems that my catalog has really been updated, it is hardly possible that LR6 has installed without me noticing as it takes one hour on me connection to download.

    Thanks,
    Vlad

    This is SSM-20 on ASA 5520.
    I forgot to mention that whole problem started when I acidentaly tried to upgrade sensor on a diferent module with a sign. version that already exist on the sensor. Erros was like"can not upgrade because version already exist on the sensor"
    After that I was not able to "kill" that process.
    Thanks,
