I have a 10.6.8 version, how do I upgrade to 10.7?

I have a 10.6.8 version on my mac book pro, how do I upgrade to 10.7?
plus I have no Icloud on the System Preferences, my Icloud works with itunes only... not with Iphoto ... why?

Oh and make sure your Mac meets these requirements
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
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Also PPC programs will no longer work on your computer under Lion so check here for compatability.

  • I have a pre-2008 Mac PRO how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    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?

  • HT4972 I no longer have a PC or Mac.  How can I upgrade to iOS 5?

    I no longer have a PC or Mac.  How can I upgrade to iOS 5?

    Your iPhone can be updated to the latest firmware in an Apple Store  but you would lose all the information off your phone.
    If your happy to do this, may I recommend backing up to iCloud once you are on iOS 5.1.1 and then you will be able to perform future upgrades over wifi and restore your phone from your iCloud account should you ever need to in the future.
    The other option might be to back your iPhone upto a friends computer without syncing and this might be the only way you could restore everything back onto your updated phone.
    Also download apps to back up your contacts online so that you can restore them also after the update.
    May I suggest Contacts Backup app which enables you to back up your contacts by email, Dropbox or via USB.
    Hope this helps.

    I have OS X 10.5.8, how do I upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion?

    As Ralph Landry1 mentions, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first (so you can access the App Store), but if your Mac qualifies, you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion without installing Lion first > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Hello.  I have Adobe Captivate 6 and wanting to upgrade.  How can I upgrade to the new Captivate 8 since I do not have 7 or access to 7?  Doesn't make since I'd have to buy another full version opposed to simply upgrading what I have.  Please help.

    How can I upgrade Adobe Captivate 6 without purchasing the full version of the new Captivate 8?
    I'm told that the window of opportunity to upgrade to 7 was short and now that 8 is out i cannot leap from 6 to 8.  Doesn't make since that I'd have to buy a full version of a program I already own.
    Can anyone help me with a simple upgrade possibility?

    It stinks that there isn't an upgrade option from 6, but it's due to the new subscription option for Captivate which actually ends up being far cheaper for you in the long run. Captivate 7 came out a little over a year ago the upgrade for that was the same as the 7 to 8 upgrade. As the upgrade is $400 and a subscription is only $20 per month, or $240 for a year, you'll end up saving money should the next upgrade come out in another year.

  • HT4623 I have a iPad with 4.2, how do I upgrade. I have no software update button?

    I have a iPad with 4.2, How do I update? I have no update software button. I need to update to get newsstand.

    You only have the software update button once you are running at least iOS 5 on the iPad. You need to update with iTunes on your computer first. You must be running the latest version of iTunes on the computer as well. 
    This article explains how to update your iPad.

  • I have an imac 10.5.8 how do i upgrade to a better osx

    Hi i would like to know how to upgrade my computer so i can eventully then put snow leopard onto it but at the moment everything i try to download says i dont have the right software to upgrade. please can you suggest anything thanks

    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
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    You should now see the App Store icon, 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:

  • I find I have software that needs 10.5, how should I upgrade?

    10.5 is needed for many new iApp based devices, yet Apple no longer offers it on their web based store.  For people who have compatible computers they need to consider the following:
    1. iTunes latest version that works on 10.4.11 is 9.2.1, available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1056
    2. Boot Camp only works on Intel Macs, not PowerPC G4 nor G5 Macs.
    3. Classic does not operate in 10.5.  This user tip does show what Macs allow dual booting of 9 and 10.5:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1757
    Otherwise you'll need to keep 10.4.11 or earlier to allow Classic compatibility either on an erase and reinstalled 10.4 partition, as described in the tip, and
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61301
    or an external Firewire hard drive.  If you have an Intel Mac, this does not matter since it doesn't have any 9 compatibility at all.
    4. Apple may offer the retail version of 10.5 through its phone mail order, but not show it on their website.  Note this is the only version of 10.5 that will run on any Mac that shipped new prior to October 26, 2007.  System specific discs rarely if ever work on Macs that aren't the same vintage or model they were initially designed for.  And Up to Date discs were only available for Macs that were new October 8, 2007 to October 26, 2007.
    5. Macs need 512MB of RAM, a G4 processor with 867 Mhz (dual 800 Mhz doesn't count, and upgraded processors only count if the processor seller supports it), and a minimum of 9 GB of free hard disk space.  Arbitrarily an additional 15% free hard disk space has been found in addition to Apple's specs to suffice for fast smooth installations of Mac OS X.  I.e. 100 GB hard drive would have at least 24 GB free before their 10.5 installations are smooth.
    6. All upgrades necessitate backing up your data at least twice, checking for software and hardware compatibility, and shutting down the Mac, and disconnecting all but display, Apple USB keyboard/mouse (if desktop), before rebooting and installing the update.
    7. If your Mac is Intel, upgrading to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) directly is recommended, and if you have a Core2Duo or Xeon Mac, upgrading to 10.6, then 10.6.6 or later to get Lion (10.7) installed is recommended if you have software which supports it. Contrary to popular belief 10.5 is not needed as an in between installation to apply 10.6.  But 10.6.6, 10.6.7, or 10.6.8 presently are a minimum for installing 10.7.  10.7 no longer supports Rosetta though. So be prepared if you are in the market for it.  Snow Leopard requires 5 GB of hard disk space and 1 GB of RAM.  Lion requires 7 GB of hard disk space and 2 GB of RAM.  The same arbitrary 15% as mentioned in #5 is highly recommended for free hard disk space that is additional.  Be sure to inquire in the Communities before updating anything to find out about any additional pitfalls you may run into.
