I have an imac running on 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to 10.6

I have an iMac running OS X leopard 10.5.8 and I want to upgrade to OS X Lion. I know I have to upgrade to 10.6 Leopard first but I cant find it.
Can someone pls send me the links for the upgrades I need to do in order to upgrade to OS X 10.7.2 Lion

First you need to check that your current Mac meets the System Requirements for Both Snow Leopard and Lion...
Snow Leopard Specs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Lion Specs:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
If it does... then you need to Purchase and Install Snow Leopard
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard
And then Purchase and Install Lion...

For Lion, Check the Compatibility of Third Party Applications Here:

    I like CS 5 a lot better than CS 6.

    CS5 runs on 10.8

    Not having enough space on your hard drive is a problem in itself, OS X likes 10-20% free in order to operate smoothly. Right click on your hard drive icon and choose Get Info to see how much you have free. There are several free applications that will help you identify what is taking up so much space just Google it. Here's a CNet article on one

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

    Hi, I have a PPC Running OSX 10.5.4 and I want to delete the User "Guest"and "Shared"Folders on my HD, they won't let me change the permissions and I keep getting errors that say the permissions should be 0 and are 501 and having files i can't delete that go on and on ad infinitum... I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
    I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks,

    Why do you want to delete those?  What have you done so far to do that?
    I doubt that Mac has a virus.  On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
    Two other comments:
    1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
    2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field.  In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

  • I have Mac os x with 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade, what is the next operating software from a 10.4.11 for a g4

    I have Mac os x with 10.4.11 and i want to upgrade, what is the next operating software from a 10.4.11 for a g4 and can it be done on a g4

    If you have a processor of 867 MHz or faster and a minimum of 512 MB of RAM, you can run OS X Leopard, updated to 10.5.8.
    That's as far as a G4 can go.
    Check eBay for discs:

    No Snow Leopard, 10.6x or Lion, 10.7x.
    they won't run in a PPC Mac.

  • 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.

  • HT1443 I have an imac running os 10.4.11 and need  to upgrade. What is the procedure and how high should i go as far as what os?

    Help?

    First:
    What specific iMac model do you have?
    Why do you need to upgrade?
    Are you prepared to spend money on upgrading?
    To find out what model you have open System Profile in the Utilities folder and report what you find displayed for the Model Identifier.

    first you have to upgrade to SL 10.6.8.
    but there is a good essay about this here:

    succes.
    I advise you to wait a little (except for the SL install) till after the first update of Lion, which is expected very soon. Also make sure that all apps that you want to run are Lion compatible.

    iTunes is only giving me an option to upgrade to 4.2.10. Do i have to upgrade to 4.2.10 before i'm allowed to upgrade to ios5?

    You need to have iTunes 10.5 installed to be able to put iOS5 onto your device.

    Flashback - Detect and remove the uprising Mac OS X Trojan...
    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.

  • I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8 I need a portable external harddrive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?

    I have an iMac running OX 10.5.8
    I need a portable external hard drive to back it up before updating the software to Yosemite but I can't find anything that doesn't require you to be running at least OX 10.6.  Is there a suitable hard drive?  I'm not very technical and wouldn't know how to do any formatting so I want it to be very basic so that I can just plug it in.  500GB should be more than adequate.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

    hi alan i run a business on ebay selling photos and negs. i recently installed yosemite and it locked my entire library on iphoto. when i try to download the app to free it from ishop it tells me there is a fault with the app and my  iphoto is frozen. i am basically out of work and finding it very hard to find someone who can help me unlock it.. look at the things being said about this yosemite  locking this.....freezing that... be very careful if you need your business for your livelyhood. the actual performance is really good.....better display ...much faster and well presented but is it worth having parts of your compy put out of action i possibly think not. i am new to this community so hopefully someone reading this may be able to advise us both.....paul
