I need my mac to update from ver 10.5.8 to 10.6.8?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. 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.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
7. Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?

I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store but system do not restart and monitor shows no signal?

Hi All
I have put mac os update from 10.9 to 10.9.5 from mac app store. Update wants restart and I do that. First it shows installing updates on monitor and then after waiting for more than 30 minutes, it did not restart. On monitor it shows no signal now. I have checked all the connections. Mac mini LED light is showing blue color and i think its signalled the ON mode. Also mouse lights are on. Please provide help, as I need to solve it asap.
Thanks

Boot to recovery and first try repairing the startup disk via dis utility.
Next reinstall the OS via Recovery

E71 Update from Ver.100.07.76

When are we gonna see an update from E71 handsets running the following
100.07.76
08-06-2008
RM-346
E71-1 (285.02)
I have consistently seen Firmware updates available.. Up to V.300.x.xx now, however everytime I enter my Product code, it says my version is the only one avaialble...

Are you on 3 (phone model no 0569999)?
Locked phones can only upgrade to branded firmware and 3 have simply not bothered to work on any firmware release since 100.07.76, so all their E71s are stuck with old firmware and riddled with bugs.
A post on the thread below suggests they are working on it though and that if you call them they will then notify you when an upgrade is possible.
/discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&thread.id=54529
Frankly it is long overdue and unacceptable for phones of this type to go so long without new firmware.
I only got the E71 because T-Mobile wouldn't upgrade me to a BB last year. Wish I'd gone elsewhere now, this phone has been nothing but trouble - patchy coverage, intermittent (at best) internet needing constant phone reboots, and terrible battery life. All issues that could be (and probably have been by everyone else) improved in firmware.
If you're not on 3 it would be interesting to hear who else is so lazy?
Mobile providers are t*ssers.

As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4, my Roboform no longer worked. Roboform says it's not compatible so I need to buy an update from them. How can I download Firefox 3 again?

As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4, my Roboform no longer worked. Roboform says it's not compatible so they want me to buy an update from them...don't want to do that. How can I download Firefox 3 again?

What you are seeing sounds like the "advertised update" from Firefox 3.6 versions to Firefox 8.0.1 that started on 2011-12-01. See --> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6_MU
This is the same as has occurred when prior versions were nearing their end-of-life. Support for Firefox 3.6 versions is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
There are changes in the interface from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and newer versions. See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
The new Firefox version can be made to closely resemble the 3.6 Firefox interface.

#See --> http://blog.fligtar.com/2011/01/16/how-to-customize-firefox-4s-ui/
#See --> '''''Firefox 3 Theme for Firefox 4''''': https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox/
#*Add color home, back/forward and other buttons (like Firefox 3) to the Navigation Toolbar in place of the gray buttons in Firefox 4
#*See: http://ffaddons.game-point.net/ff3ff4/
#Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
The only currently supported versions are 3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Firefox 9.0 will be released on or about 2011-12-20 and will completely replace Firefox 8.0.1; an update to Firefox 3.6.25 from Firefox 3.6.24 will likely occur around that same time to correct any new security/stability issues found in Firefox 3.6.24.

HT1338 I cant seem to get a quicktime update from ver 7.3 ... iTunes need 7.5.5 or higher

Running 10.5.8
Rebuilding after dead HDD ... iTunes wont open and i because I have Quicktime 7.3, yet I cant download any higher version??

QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.

OS X 10.5.8 update. Recieved 10.6.3 in which I need 10.6 to update from there

Here is my issue, Seems common place for OS X 10.5.8 upgrade. I tried to call support to ask a question about ordering the snow leopard update so I can make my computer function properly in this day and age. They wanted to charge me $20 for that. I refused. After researching the apple site on said upgrade I was lead to believe I needed to buy the Snow leopard disk 10.6 from the apple store and then do an online update to 10.6.3 from there so for $20 I chose to order the disk. I've recieved the 10.6.3 in the mail. A bit leary of opening the package and trying it because I was able to download snow leopard 10.6.8 and 10.6.3 online and after trying to install, my computer tells me I need 10.6 first. Do I even bother opening the package and trying or do I send it back and pay them $20 to talk to me? Cannot get any online support because I need updated browsers in which I am trying to do with all this, which leads me to here.

I'm afraid that story is a touch confusing but I will try to unravel it.   The order of events should be ...
You have (so you say) 10.5.8.   You want to go to Snow leopard.   So ...
Check that your machine is capable of running snow Leopard.
It needs to be a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.   Double check by reading the specs.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
If it does, buy the Snow Leopard disk from the on-line store.   It will arrive as 10.6.3
Before you start upgrading, back up your files.   If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative.   Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
Once you have upgraded to Snow Leopard, as your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow that with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.

AUSST setup. How can I easily verify that the computers (macs) are updating from the AUSST server?

I have set up everything according the recipe. Watched Karl Gibson video about this probably five times.
Server is working
Users have AdobeUpdate.Overwrites file in place
Everyone is getting updates (could not do that before by themselves).
How can I easily see that updates are downloaded from the AUSST server instead of directly from Adobe online?

I found this out on my own.
The answer is found (on a mac) in the /Applications/Utilities/Console
Look in the sidebar for Adobe Download
DML.log
Hope this helps someone.

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Successfull iPhone4 update from ver 4.1 to 4.2...

I'm new to Apple products and iPhone4 is my 1st product. I purchased it a week ago, (Dec. 01).
Just wanted to announce that iTunes update went smoothly and without a hitch using Download and Install button. Total time from download to reboot of iPhone4 took about 38 mins and then it automatically syncd. I'm on a DSL with download speed under 4MBS. All the previous Apps have been loaded. I'm a happy camper after reading how some of you have had problems with updates.
Ken

its really only a handful of people who have trouble with updates the first 3 days of sales were like 1.75 million phones there is probably a few hundred people that come to these forums with update problems most the time it go's without a hitch

Updating from Ver 4 to Ver 5

I have an Old version of Adobe PS LR ver 4 - Want to upgrade to the latest & greatest version (5.?) - I went to the DL page and there were numerous versions of LR 5. The question is if I select the most recent version and install will I be up to date. Or do I need to install them sequentially.
Also how do I determine version of 4 that I have installed

You upgrade to the latest version (which is 5.5), and that's all you need to install
how do I determine version of 4 that I have installed

I need help, trying to update from 3.1.3 to 4 or higher.

Im not sure which generation it is or whatever but I do not have a camera on mine. anyways i am trying to figure out how to udate it from 3.3 to 4 or higher.

You connect it to iTunes on a computer and check for updates. If iTunes says none are available, it can't be updated further.

Updating and restoring from Ver 4.3.3 to Ver 7

My ipad needed updating from Ver 4.3.3. So I backed up my ipad and then updated from iTunes to the latest ver 7. Everything seemd to be going ok and it appeared tht the Ipad had been updated and files were restored. However, the iPad said to connect to iTunees to restore. When I went back into iTunes and hit restore, a message popped up asking if I'm sure I want to restore from iTunes since the files were on the computer. I did backup on iTunes before updating so assume this is ok. Just don't understand why it appeared it already restored the iPad from my computer and now have to restore from Itunes. Any suggestions are appreciated.

my iPad just keeps saying to connect to iTunes, which I have done several times. Hit restore and have done several times. The iPad just seems stuck on "connecting to iTunes" even though I've tried to restore, etc. All info has been backed up! Sorry that I have tried to update to this latest version. Any suggestions are appreciated
