I have an emac running 10.5.8 I purchased a copy of snow leopard from apple. upon attempting the install i read that the computer is not an intel. I believe this is a power PC? Is there a way to upgrade to the snow leopard or am I stuck with this version 10.5.8? Thank you for any help.

As Niel says, no way to go past 10.5.8 on your Mac, but there is a more upto date Browser...
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...

Hello Negaz
When you uninstalled iTunes, did you uninstall it by using the article below or just uninstalled iTunes? The best practice is to remove not only iTunes, but also other associating software in the order that the first article give. If that does not work, then check out the second article for more troubleshooting options for connecting your iPhone to your computer.

I had OS 10.5.8 on my Macbook and couldn't run turbotax 2012 because of that. I purchased Snow leopard on CD and installed it. Now, about my ABOUT this mac says 10.6.8. Now, I can't print to my Lexmark z705. I get an error message.

Unless there are drivers provided by Apple to work with the printer, you're out of luck. The latest drivers provided by Lexmark are for OS X 10.4 Intel. Unfortunately, this can happen when slightly older peripherals and newer software don't mesh.

I've tried everything I can think of to get my Iphone 4S to play albums like an Ipod does. All it ever does is play the songs but not the albums in alphabetical order. I used to think I was reasonably intelligent until I butted heads with this phone.

Yes i've tried all of that. I've turned it all the way on and off and erased all of my music and put it back on and nothing works. And with the breaking up CDs and putting into compilation categories i have already fixed all of that stuff. It's fine it just doesn't show up in the list of artists. I can find the album in the songs category and the albums category it's just it doesn't show tha name of the artist. All of the other albums that i downloaded before i updated my itunes to th most recent update are fine. It's just the two that i downloaded afterwards. Thanks for trying though.

I have a 2006 Imac. I updated it to Snow Leopard from Leopard. So now my question is can I update to Mountain via The App Store?

SO I guess I'm doing this right haha. But I have a late 2006 IMac. It's running Snow Leopard. I want to know if I can update it to Mountian Lion via the appstore? I was thinking no, because it is a 2006 computer. But I read some articles that said I could. I just want your thought on this. Thanks!

No, it cannot be upgraded to Mountain Lion, but it may be updated to Lion.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or 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.
You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
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.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (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
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

Model Eligibility for Snow Leopard and Lion.

5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.

HT1338 can I upgrade straight to lion without purchasing snow leopard if I am running on OS 10.5.8

can I upgrade straight to lion without purchasing snow leopard if I am running on OS 10.5.8?

Well, yes, if your Mac meets the requirements, you can afford to erase the drive completely, & don't mind paying $10 more for Lion on a Flash stick than Snow Leopard/10.6 on DVD & Lion/10.7 download from the App Store is.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
   * Mac computer with an Intel processor
    * 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
    * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
    * DVD drive for installation
    * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they do still have it:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
Or, if you can afford to erase everything & spend $10 more than the 10.6 Disc & 10.7 from the App Store...
Or if you can erase your disk...

I have a dual 2.7ghz powermac with the 6800GT, would installing the ultra's

I have a dual 2.7ghz powermac with the 6800GT, would installing the drivers for the apple 6800 ultra make my computer recognize the video card as an ultra? the ultra and the GT that are put into the dual 2.5 and 2.7 are both the same card as far as I can tell.( many cards are the same to their faster version just different drivers). if I could get a copy of hte ultra drivers cd would that make my 6800GT into a 6800ultra? inessence overclocking the videocard?
powermac dual 2.7 G5, imac G4 800mhz, emac 1ghz, dual 2ghz powermac Mac OS X (10.4.3)

since installing the drivers will not change the card is there a way to do it?...... here is a quote from another source about the 6800 cards...As you probably know by now, the GeForce 6800 is based on NVIDIA’s NV40 graphics core. In AGP form, this is the exact same chip NVIDIA uses for GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce 6800 GT, only it has four of its pixel pipelines disabled, and one vertex unit turned off. (More specifically, NV40 sports sixteen pixel pipelines, these pipelines are organized into groups of four and are known as “quads”. The GeForce 6800 GT and Ultra have all four quads running with four pixel pipelines per quad for a total of 16 pixel pipelines. In GeForce 6800, NVIDIA turns off one of the four quads, leaving only three quads running for a total of 12 pipelines).
from this it must be possible to make this into the ulrta

I have an older mac, i purchased Snow Leopard so that i could upgrade to Yosemite but now it says Snow Leopard is too out of date to update to Yosemite!

So i have an older Macbook that ran Leopard and i was told via Apple that in order to upgrade fully to Yosemite i would first have to purchase Snow Leopard, then i'd be able to update to Yosemite for free. I got the Snow Leopard disc (it was scratched which REALLY ****** me off, since i paid $20, but it seemed to work installing the new OS so whatever), and it's now at version 10.6.3 - i tried to run software updates and it says it's successful, but that i need to restart my computer. Every time i try, the screen just freezes with the desktop image and never restarts. And now i can't update to Yosemite because i need to have 10.6.8! I am very frustrated and not sure where to go from here. Can anyone help?

Don't panic. You can download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then you can access the App Store in order to download Yosemite.
Meanwhile you need to reinstall Snow Leopard properly:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. 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.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
         you will be running a fresh install of OS X.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Order a 10.6 disc from Apple online. They do not sell it in their retail stores.

Back up your computer first. After installing, run Software Update to update everything to the newest versions available.
Check your computer's system specifications but you may have the option for a free upgrade/update to OSX 10.9 Mavericks, though you may want to stick with 10.6 for a while. Higher systems usually run slower on older machines and I personally would stay with Snow Leopard until I was forced to change again.
