I have an iMac 24" 6,1 that needs an update

...and it apparrently does not meet the requirements for the latest Mt. Lion.  It looks like 10.7.4 is the best it will ever do but I need 10.7 before I can get it and I can find no source to buy and/or download it.  Can someone give me a source to obtain it?  I am at 10.6.8 and it looks like a lot of my stuff is going to end support for any 10.6 versions.
Thanks,
--Steve

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Lion isn't being sold anymore at the Mac App Store. Call Apple to get OS X Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files with Time Machine or Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 Also, check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com
I recommend you to have at least 4 GB of RAM to upgrade. You can buy more memory at OWC or Crucial > http://www.macsales.com

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    I have an iMac. I noticed that I have both versions 8 and 9 of Adobe Reader. Can I remove version 8 ?

    Yes.
    If you double click on a PDF and your system uses 8 to open it, you may have to repair (Help>Repair... in Reader) the 9 installation or you could change your file associations to use 9 to open PDF files.
    If 9 opens them already, just remove 8 and you're good to go.

    Is there a way to create a PDF from outlook e-mail that does not embed the attachment? better, is there a way to convert the e-mail with attachement (not embeded) as pdf pages?
    - Problem: I have 1400 e-mails with attachments that need to be converted into pdf and the attachments cannot be embeded.
    System: PC Windows 7 using Acrobat X Prof. - Thank you!

    Hi ,
    There is an option of embedding index for faster search while converting email to a PDF .
    However I am not sure that will serve your purpose or not .
    I would recommend you to get in touch with Microsoft support as well .
    Meanwhile I'll work on it and get back to you in case I get a desired solution .

  • HT1338 Hi,I have an iMac OS X, but I need to get the update to Mac OS X 10.4.7 in order to get Keynote , but I can't, how can I do it?

    Hi,
    I have an iMac OS X, but I need to get Keynote for a Powerpoint presentation, so when trying to download tells me to get Mac OS X 10.4.7, and if I try gettin Software update, I get none available, how can I do it?

    You need to either buy and install Mac OS X 10.8 from the Mac App Store, or purchase an iWork 09 DVD, or use a product such as OpenOffice instead of Keynote.

  • I have hundreds of the same shape that needs to be converted into a symbol for easy editing. Is ther

    I have hundreds of the same shape that needs to be converted into a symbol for easy editing. Is there a way to do this in Illustrator?
    Background here may be relevant: The place I am working is currently using ai CS 3 & 5 and the files in question are converted Freehand files. I have never been a Freehand user, but apparently you were able to swap one shape for another in Freehand. The closest Illustrator equivalent that I am aware of is the symbols panel. I know how to swap one symbol for another, how to create a symbol from a piece of vector art and how to modify a symbol. What I am trying to do is convert several instances of the same object into several instances of the same symbol without having to replace hundreds of objects manually (ie. trying to get the right placement in a grid and everything).
    Is there any efficient solution to the task I have in Illustrator CS 3 or CS 5?

    Try this.

  • If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    If I have the Snow Leopard OS do I need to update the Lion OS before the new Mountain Lion OS?

    Apple has not detailed Mountain Lion's requirements or how it will be made available, and probably won't until much closer to release. So we cannot answer your question at this time. Keep an eye on Apple's web pages for Mountain Lion as well as the many Apple-related news web sites and I'm sure you'll see the announcement when it comes.

  • We have two IMac computers.  Do I need to purchase two upgrades to Lion or can I use one upgrade on bo†h on my computers?

    I have two IMac computers.  Both running the latest version on Snow Leopard.  To upgrade to Lion, do I need to purchase two upgrades or can I use one purchase for bo†h computers?
    Thanks,
    Alice

    As I understand the as yet unconfirmed rumor by me, is that once you pay for a single copy of Lion, every computer you have that's authorized under your Apple ID can download it, no limit on number.

  • I have an iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and updated to the latest  flash player but the audio on youtube music still won't respond.  Any suggestions besides buying a new computer?

    I have an eight year old iMac running OSX 10.6.8 and just installed the latest Flash Player but the audio won't play on the youtube music website.  What else do I need to update or install to listen to the music?

    just installed the latest Flash Player
    Did you uninstall all the previous versions of Adobe Flash Player?  Did you repair permissions and restarted your computer after the installation?
    Which browser & version are you using?  Have you tried other browsers? 
    Please advise.

  • How do you uninstall software?  I have tried to download printer software that needs to be reinstalled and I cannot proceed until the original version is completely uninstalled.

    I have installed printer software that needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled and I keep getting an error message saying that the application is running and needs to be closed before proceeding.  I do not know how to close applications and uninstall software.  Any help????

    If its an actual application and appears as an icon in applications then click and hold over the icon and drag it to the trash can. That should uninstall it as far as I know.
    If its like the HP printer software then there is an uninstalled icon within the folder.
    Hope it helps.

  • My bootcamp at 2.0 and keep ask that need to updata

    i am using macbook, Mac OS 10.5.5 and the bootcamp version is 2.0
    i finished all software updata. but, when i run bootcamp to want to install the windows,
    it showed a message about i need to updata the software.
    i tried to reinstall the bootcamp by the leopard CD, still could not fixed.
    please help me

    A. You can download BC 2.1 manually.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsxp.html
    B. There is a newer Apple Software Update Control Panel 2.1 that IS needed for any updates which can ONLY be downloaded via 2.0 Apple SU (and if that doesn't work, you are lost).
    I had a really hard time trying to understand the original post to figure out what was actually happening.
    Sometimes BootCamp Assistant in OS X does say an update is needed before it will even allow you to create a Windows partition and start the install, in which can some people had to repair permissions (and do NOT do that from DVD it will be wrong) or repair the disk drive (which is safe and fine from DVD, though still not as good as if done from another hard drive).
    And in any situation, BACKUP first. It can make life easier, and sometimes you need to erase and restore before you can successfully partition for Windows.

  • I have a imac 7,1 and i NEED to upgrade.

    I have already paid for leopard to download for use on another system. How can i upgrade my imac from 10.5?! My safari and chrome dont work correctly because of some software issues because i am so far behind. How do i download?!

    You will have to puchase the Snow Leopard DVD directly from Apple's online store. A link to the US Store is:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If I misread your intent and you already have this then install it and then download and install the 10.6.8 update combo from:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
    Then run Software Update and install any other updates Apple suggests. Finally backup your system completely and test the backup. Once you have done this then navigate to the Mac App Store and download Mavericks assuming your system has at least the minimum system requirements. I would STRONGLY recommend 4GB or more of RAM,  a 7.1 machine can accomodate 6GB, I would recommend that if you need a RAM upgrade. You can use reliable venors such as OWC (www.macsales.com) or Crucial.
    If you are not aware of the minimum system requirements for Mavericks  you can find them at:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
    Good luck!

  • I have a second generation ipod touch that will not update past version 3.1.3, when i check updates it says it is up to date but im quite sure i should be able to get at least a 4.2 ios update. If someone could please help id really appreciate it!!

    I have made sure that my ipod is second generation, and i have tried to resotr it twice to fix the problem. I'm getting a little bit frustrated with it. I went to the apple store in metrotwn and the gentlemen didnt even look at the ipod, just told me that it was maybe to old of a generation to support updates. Funny thing is my boyfriend had it before me and he updated it past 3.1.3 no problem.
