I have iMAC 11,2 with OS 10.68 what OS should I upgrade to?

what is best OS upgrade option?

Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
      Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
    Then, install OS X.

  • Will Address Book 5.0.3 be compatible with OS 10.7.5 or should I upgrade it before I put OS 10.7.5 on my iMac

    Will Address Book 5.0.3 be compatible with OS 10.7.5 or should I upgrade it to another version before I put OS 10.7.5 on my iMac?  Or will I need to buy a subsequent version of Address Book 5.0.3, and if so, how would I transfer what's in my current Address Book (5.0.3) to the new one?  Thanks.

    Thanks much for your reply!
    Would rather not upgrade to Lion, but need to in order to do taxes this year.
    Would rather not upgrade further than Lion because am afraid many of my software programs will have to be upgraded or not be usable in Lion.
    So are you saying my Pages 3.0.3, iPhoto 7.1.5, and iDVD 7.1.2 that I already have on my iMac will no longer work after I upgrade to Lion?

  • 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.

  • Have iMac running OSX 10.5.8, where can I find the upgrade?

    have iMac running OSX 10.5.8, where can I find the upgrade?

    Why would that be irritating?? I suspect you are after Mavericks, in order to get Mavericks you have to have the Mac App Store app which did not become available until Snow Loepard 10.6.6. Once you have purchased and installed SL then install the 10.6.8 combo update, run Software Update again and install all suggested updates and finally you can get Mavericks.

  • I have a mac book with os 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 for the use of i cloud

    i have a mac book with os 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to either 10.7 or 10.8 so i can use i cloud.  I have tried to download 10.8 but it says my system wont allow it.  I cant find a download for 10.7 on the apple web site... what to do from here ? thx

    Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac App Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.
    I don't do Windows.

  • I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Want to upgrade to 6.1.3

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Want to upgrade to 6.1.3 because some apps only work with this version. I only get the option to go directly to 7.0.4 (iTunes) which is a bad idea for an iPhone 4 as everyone knows. I should have the right to choose which version I want to upgrade to, it makes no sense to have iOS 7 on iPhone 4. Please advise.
    Thanks in advance!

    Many people who have the iPhone 4 running iOS 7 have no performance problems, and a number have posted in these forums to say so, and they mean the entire iPhone, not just phone calls. So it is by no means predetermined that you would have performance problems should you upgrade.
    But regardless, as tonefox said, you have no choice. You either need to stay with iOS 5.1.1, or you'll need to accept the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4. There is no way to upgrade to any intermediate version.
    Regards.

  • I have a mac with os x 10.6.8, should I upgrade it to os x 10.9.is there any problem which can occur after upgrading my os.

    I have a mac with os x 10.6.8, should I upgrade it to os x 10.9.is there any problem which can occur after upgrading my os.

    It is best to wait till there is a 10.9.1 update as new OS X systems always cause problems to some installations. Better not to risk losing data unless you have a bootable clone that enables you to revert to the original (pre upgrade) state. Haste makes waste.

    Should you upgrade is your decision. If you don't need the advanced features of Mavericks, then there is no reason to upgrade. If you don't use applications that require Mavericks to upgrade, then you don't need to upgrade.
    Note that beyond Snow Leopard you won't be able to run PPC-only applications such as Office 2004.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.
