I have an old Mac with OS x 10.5.8 how do I upgrade to support Facetime
I have an old Mac with OS X 10.5.8, can I upgrade to support FaceTime? Thanks
KDam,
Please allow me to make a suggestion -- I looked on the Skype site regarding system requirements for Osx.
Accordingly, they list 10.5 as an acceptible operating system for their application. In your case I would seriously consider Skype over FaceTime. I don't think it's worth all the effort to go through the headaches such an upgrade can cause, just to be able to use FT.

Thanks,
The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... MAVERICKS...
Check here to see if your Mac is compatible...
http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
NOTE:
It is both Prudent and Recommended to Backup Before any Major Update or Upgrade.
If so... would recommend at least 4GB of RAM... if not 8 GB
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Mavericks, Lion and Mountain Lion...

if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!
You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.

Not Leopard... Snow Leopard! There is a difference.
Apple did not make it easy by giving them similar names.

I have a macbook pro with OSX 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to Mountain Lion when it is available? I need to upgrade to run quickbooks and other apps
First, you need Snow Leopard (10.6): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A. Then you use Software Update to update it to 10.6.8. When Mountain Lion (10.8) comes out, find it in the Mac App Store.

but not to 4.2 which doesn't work well with this particular phone?
What are you talking about? 4.2.1, the latest version for the iPhone 3G, works fine - great, even - with it. -
I have an old Mad with OS X 10.6.8. I just got a new MacBook Air. I want to transfer my Office 2011 to the new computer. I have the product ID number. How do I do this?
You may get a dialog box indicating you need to contact Microsoft to activate it if you've used up all your activations (2 for the professional version or 3 for the home/student version). Don't worry - you won't be hassled, just explain that you just bought a new computer and you are transfering the license.

I have an old Mac Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.8. Can I upgrade to IOS 10.7 or higher in thei Old computer since I cannpt run the new Turbo Tax I just bought
Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7. All Mac Pros(not MacBook Pros) can run at least 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Should I upgrade my software or get a new laptop?
Hello,
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 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?...

I have an old Mac G5 with OSX 10.5.8
After a crash of my HD, I reinstalled the CS3.
At the time of recording I get a window with the message "COMPLETED REGISTRATION" and under "There was a problem sending the informasioni via internet" and still under three choices to "send back" and "records in a second time "or" never record "and I continue to choose the latter option.
Another problem is that in Bridge (version 2.0.0.975) I can no longer see thumbnails of RAW files from my Canon 40D that I saw before.
Should I upgrade ACR? which is the latest version supported on my Mac?
thank youSergio Bellotto if you keep receiving the registration screen then please try accepting the screen in a different User account.

Hi Everyone. I have an old Mac Book with software updated to 10.6.8. I have saved a ton of emails in my inbox 'On My Mac'. There are so many it is slowing down my computer. Where do I find the folder with all the emails so I can cut and paste them to an external hard drive? Pls.help. Tks.
Depending on which email client software you use
the files should be in 'your home folder' library, esp.
if you use Mail application.... ~/Library/Mail
Since you don't specify what mail application,
that would most be associated with the file.
I notice there are some items to the right of your post
where it says "more like this' so that may be worth a
look to see if similar issues were answered. Also, the
Help viewer in your system is a searchable database.
Seems that google also brings up fair information, too.
Do you have a complete bootable clone of your entire
Mac system on an externally enclosed hard disk drive?
Good luck & happy computing! -
Can I open bkf with my Mac Pro? I have my old files with bkf format how can I open it?
That is a Windows Backup file. I seriously doubt that there will be any way to read that on a Mac. Do you have a Windows machine that you can use to open those files and save the contents in a more friendly format?

I have an old Mac computer Powerbook G4 with Mac OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.06 can I use Flash 11? Gly
OS 10.5.8 was the LAST "Universal Binary" OS that Mac released. It could be run on PPC or Intel Macs.
You can use Flash, but NOT the current version. Flash Player 10.3.183.90 is the latest version that will run with 10.5.8.
Apple ended all support for ALL PowerPC hardware and software just over four years ago, so there will be no further development of ANY apps that run with PowerPC Macs, from ANY developer. -
