And if I am able to upgrade, if my applications are the "Universal" or "Intel" kind, are they going to play nicely with the new upgrade?
thanks!
Nadia

Yours is an Early 2009 Mac Pro.
Yes, as long as they are Intel or Universal, they should work, but check here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also, the newest OS, 10.9 Mavericks, should be released soon. It is not known which models will be supported, but odds are it is the same as Mountain Lion. Possibly save $20 by waiting.

    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.

  • I have a Power Book SW version 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    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.
    I am American but live in Italy so have missed an update or two.  When I went to the Mac store in the States this summer they told me if I could work well with this outdated version, to leave as is as I had missed two updates. Now I need to 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.  I need at least 6.6.0 it says.
    Thank you,

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

    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!

    You can upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion and Mavericks. I recommend you to upgrade to OS X Mavericks because it is the most recent version and it is free.
    Open the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks for free. While it's being downloaded, make a backup of your files with Time Machine and check that your apps are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com
    If you still want to use Mountain Lion, you can purchase it at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion

    No.  The items on your hard drive are not dependent on your Apple ID (documents in particular).

  • I am running leopard, can i upgrade to mountain lion?

    I am running leopard, can I upgrade to mountain lion?

    Going by your profile: iMac (20-inch Early 2008), Mac OS X (10.5.8)  your Mac does qualify for Mountain Lion. See Step 1 here > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    But you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first before upgrading to Mountain Lion. It's not necessary to upgrade to Lion first.
    Snow Leopard is no longer available from the Apple online store. You can purchase Snow Leopard by calling the Apple Store at 1-800-MY-APPLE.

  • Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from 10.6 on a 24" 2009 Imac?

    Can I upgrade to Mountain Lion from 10.6 on a 24" 2009 Imac? The instructions say my computer is capable. Do I have to go through Lion or Snow Leopard first?

    nope you can go right from SL to ML.
    Message was edited by: shldr2thewheel--oh wait, you can't go from 10.5.8 right to 10.8 since you need access to the app store.  I thought you already had 10.6 installed.

  • Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    Can you use iCloud if you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion? I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard but is not compatible with Mountain Lion.

    The requirements for Lion are
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    If your Mac complies with that you can buy it by ringing the Online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page.
    If it doesn' and you are stuck with 10.6.8 this page explains the situation with Snow Leopard and an existing iCloud account (you can't open one on Snow Leopard):

  • Hi, Hi, Hi  I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard. The updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up. Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi,
    I have the old MacBook Pro. Upgraded to Mountain Lion which completely wrecked the system. So downgraded to Snow Leopard.
    Then updated the combo update. Now stuck on blue screen at start-up.
    Need help. Greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space
    If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again.  You can make a bootable DVD/USB stick to install using this free program.
    Bootable Drive DVD or USB Flash Drive – Lion Diskmaker
    Our 2 computers haven't experienced any significant problems, even though others have. I find it much better than 10.7 Lion, which I used for a week before reverting to 10.6.8
    Mavericks is supposed to be released this fall, so you may want to wait.

    You'll have to purchase, install and update Snow Leopard from the Apple Store to get the App Store application.
    Mountain Lion is only sold via the App Store.
