I have OS X 10.5.8. How do I upgrade to the next OS X?

I have OS X 10.5.8. I want to upgrade / update to the next OS X. Firstly, which OS X is the latest that I can use for a MacBook Pro 5,1?

Your macbook supports 10.8.x which is the newest Mac OS.  You need to contact apple buy a disc for 10.6 and install that then do software updates to 10.6.8 and then go on the mac app store and buy mountain lion (10.8).

    You can not use a DVD that shipped with one Mac to load on to another. To upgrade to Snow Leopard you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD.

  • I have a pre-2008 Mac PRO how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion?

    I have a pre-2008 Mac PRO how do I upgrade to Mountain Lion? On the Apple's site on upgrading (http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/), I see that "Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)" is required for the upgrade. What's up with that?
    Will upgrading of the GPU do the trick?
    I'm curretly on Snow Leopard, will I be limited to Lion?

  • How do I create both endnotes and footnotes in same doc in Pages? I have iWork 2008. I understand how to create one or the other, but not both.

    How do I create both endnotes and footnotes in same doc in Pages? I have iWork 2008. I understand how to create one or the other, but not both.

    You have to select one or the other.
    Try making two documents and see if you can merge the .pdfs, but their will be problems with page flow, making the pages shift. Can't see it working really.
    Pages is not the only solution out there or the best for most jobs (let alone the safest). Try Word for Mac, LibreOffice (free) or any App that has the features you need.

  • HT4972 I no longer have a PC or Mac.  How can I upgrade to iOS 5?

    I no longer have a PC or Mac.  How can I upgrade to iOS 5?

    Your iPhone can be updated to the latest firmware in an Apple Store  but you would lose all the information off your phone.
    If your happy to do this, may I recommend backing up to iCloud once you are on iOS 5.1.1 and then you will be able to perform future upgrades over wifi and restore your phone from your iCloud account should you ever need to in the future.
    The other option might be to back your iPhone upto a friends computer without syncing and this might be the only way you could restore everything back onto your updated phone.
    Also download apps to back up your contacts online so that you can restore them also after the update.
    May I suggest Contacts Backup app which enables you to back up your contacts by email, Dropbox or via USB.
    Hope this helps.

    Thank you Chris.  Yes  I did know that but it was not clear how to turn it off.  All the forums visited said it was under general.  I have since found a site called iAnswerGuy which describes how to turn it off step by step. Thank you very much for coming back to me so quickly.  Susie

    I have OS X 10.5.8, how do I upgrade to Snow Leopard or Lion?

    As Ralph Landry1 mentions, you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first (so you can access the App Store), but if your Mac qualifies, you can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion without installing Lion first > Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • When i try to access iwork on iCloud on my mac, i get an ipage logo with 2 options learn/get image. I already have ipage on my mac. How can i get to the file  management page?

    When i try to access iwork on iCloud on my mac, i get an ipage logo with 2 options learn/get image. I already have ipage on my mac. How can i get to the file  management page?

    Lion will only let you add documents to iCloud through iCloud.com, iCloud.com requires the iOS apps before you can use it.
    Mountain Lion will let you add documents to iCloud from the iWork apps themselves, you don't then need the iOS apps before they can be opened on another Mac.

  • I have a license for Photoshop 6.0. How do I upgrade to the latest PS version?

    I have the license I paid in the past. How do I upgrade to the latest versions?  Is it free of charge?
    Thanks

    If you mean photoshop 6 from around 2001, then ps 6 is way out of the upgrade loop.
    The latest version of photoshop is cc 2014 available by subscription only.
    Photo editor | Download free Adobe Photoshop CC trial
    Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    There is also photoshop cs6, which you can buy outright, but no upgrade discount for having ps 6.

    my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    I think not.   You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific.   So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.  
    Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection.   It just might be something not too drastic.
