I'm trying to up grade from 10.6.8

I have a mac pro 2008 2,1  . i have been trying to upgrade to loin , mountain or even maverick , any ideas

The model 2,1 is from 2007 and can only be upgraded to Lion - 10.7.x. The 2008 MP is model 3,1 and it can be upgraded to Mavericks.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks 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- System Requirements
      Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         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.

  • Trying to up grade from Contribute 4 to 6.5! Is there a time limit how long you own a Licence?

    We bought Contribute 4 sometime before 2006! When trying to Up Grade the first Agends where very helpfull and wanted to Activate it with an 1 time Code!
    We managed to activate it finally in Win7! Only two weeks later the Labtop broke down and we managed to get the Software deactivated by using an old Computer from our local repair shop.
    Now I tryed to activate it again in Win8 and the next ADOBE agend told itś not possible to Up grade from Contribute 4 to 6.5, because the Serialnumber is to old!!!

    Hi,
    the old mashine is broken down and the company AVALON, who
    installed the program has no records anylonger about the program
    details.
    They only gave us the inf that the program is Contribute
    Version 4 and they didn´t even know if it was a single licence or if
    they had it under Company licenze.
    I managed a few weeks ago to
    activate the up grade to my Labtop, because after the winter season we
    had some holiday time and I tried to get it done at home.
    Onfortunatly
    my own Labtop crashed a week after.
    Now we started to work and we have
    to up grade the Webpages.
    Kauko bought the update for 115 EUR in
    January and he is not going to like it when I tell him they gave us
    wrong Info from AVALON when asking if the up date is working or not!
    So how we proceed?

    Trying to scan photos from my photo album to a folder on my desktop.  Have been trying to figure out for hours.  Seems very complicated and cumbersome.  Can anyone help?  It's got to be much quicker (fewer key strokes) and simpler than what I've been able to discover.

    Open the file, parse it, populate an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection, and make the collection the DataGrid dataProvider:

  • I'm trying to copy music from my PC to itunes. I open itunes, go to 'file', go to 'add folder to library', select the folder and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    I'm trying to copy music from my PC to itunes. I open itunes, go to 'file', go to 'add folder to library', select the folder and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

    Hello there, gleab.
    The following Knowledge Base article reviews the ways to import content into iTunes:
    Adding music and other content to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
    Also keep in mind which formats can be added:
    You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

    I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them.  I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.  I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added.  So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them?  It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something!  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

  • Bought two songs from iTunes store on my iPhone 4s. Tried bringing the songs from my phone to my computer iTunes through iCloud but it doesn't even show the option to choose music?

    My computer has been authorised and has the newest version of iTunes. My iPhone shoes the option of choosing my computer's music but my computer doesn't even show the option of music, but shows apps, movies, tv-shows and books. When i choose the option of find music to download from my phone, it says i have downloaded all yet i haven't and the music isn't in my library.
    This was my first time when i bought anything from iTunes store and it also shows in my account information that i have bought these two songs but when trying to download them from my iCloud it doesn't work. Also when i click on the songs in my iTunes store on my computer, it says i have bought them but doesn't show the option of playing them. Is the problem in my iPhone or is this something to do with the songs' copyrights?

    It sounds like you're running Lion?
    Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?

    A Espinoza,
    The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities.  So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
    However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.
