Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

I have Mac OS X version 10.7.3 Does this have any numbers or excel like programs or will I need to purchase them?
Hi Linda...
You can purchase Numbers from the App Store.
You can launch the App Store from your Apple menu > App Store
Or from your Dock >
Or from your Applications folder. -
I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and when i try to update it nothing comes up. How can I update it?
If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't.
If you're using an Intel Mac, phone the Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6.

I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 and need to update to OS X version 10.8 how can I do so?
Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

If your Mac meets these requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
then you can order a Snow Leopard disk and install it.

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.
you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X. Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems. The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6. Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

If possible you need to Upgrade your current OS X 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...

If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes...
You should now be able to Sync your phone.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

I have never used this--on my ipad it says I have an account with icloud and that I can syn all my devices but there is no app for icloud on my ipad.
I have never used my ipod myself--that is to put material on it. A friend did it and I registered with Apple and I did have itunes and a list of my stuff on my old pc but it is gone. I tried to get itunes on the pc I have--no sucess--5 + attempts yesterday. Today I tried to link my ipod to icloud. In the "settings" heading I do not have a "software" choice. I do not know what to do. Can someone help me. I am not very pc literate--so you might get frustrated. Thank YouHi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
All of your help is much appreciated, thanks -

I would like to use icloud with my new iphone and mac computer. i have already loaded it on my iphone but my computer doesn't upgrade the software to allow me to select icloud to load. i still get the icon for moble me. Can anyone tell me how to proceed so I can use Icloud ?
To use iCloud you need OS X Lion 10.7.2 at least.
The first thing you have to do is to determine if your Mac can run it.

Have you tried Firefox? That usually is an alternative to Internet Explorer (some web sites are still Windows-centric).
I've also had success with Opera to access some sites where other browsers have had issues.
