  • I need to change from mac os 10.5.8 to snow leopard and then to mountain lion

    do i have to buy and install snow leopard before mountain lion? helllllpppppp

    Yes, you need to purchase Snow Leopard, from the Apple online store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - and the, from the Mac App Store, purchase Mountain Lion.
    Make sure that your MacBook Pro is compatible with Mountain Lion -
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    - and be aware that if you have any remaining PPC-only apps on your machine that they will not run under Mountain Lion - see http://roaringapps.com/.
    Good luck,

  • Updating from MAC OS X 10.6.8 snow leopard

    I currently have a mac book pro MAC OS X 10.6.8 and i cant update because my computer wont go any further than the blank desktop background when restarting. It also looks like it skips the update downloads but still says they have downloaded and to restart the computer.

    Hello Nicole,
    Sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Mac. To get you started with getting it back up and running again, take a look at the article below to resolve issues with start up. Start with booting up into Safe Mode to see if it boots properly. If it does, then restart your MacBook Pro like normal and it should work after that. If not, look at the article for some additional troubleshooting.

  • Can Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

    Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    It is needed to run applications that require Rosetta (Eudora e-mail, Palm Desktop PDA-PIM, Canvas drawing from ACDsee, etc). Thanks

    Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
    No. Your best option by far is to find updates or replacements for that long-obsolete software. In the long run, you'll have no other choice. As a last resort, you could do this:
    Installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels
    The instructions are slightly out of date. That's not a recommendation and I haven't tried it myself.

  • ITunes 11.1.1 Update Error - Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

    Hello iTunes Community!
    I've been reading about the non-descript error message that Windows users are getting when attempting to update to iTunes 11.1.1.  It appears to affect Mac OS X as well in that I too am getting the same error.  I'm running a 20" aluminum iMac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.  What's interesting though is that when I checked iTunes to make sure it still functioned correctly and took a look at "About iTunes" it shows version 11.1.1 (11).  So it appears that the update actually occured, but somehow did not finish-up quite right???  Is there any cause to be concerned, or do I just keep it the way it is?  I ran the update twice and it still shows-up as an available update in Software Update.
    I'm beginning to suspect that there may be a problem with the update.
    Regards,
    Doug

    Hi folks...
    Based upon a recommendation from a friend who is an authorized Apple service provider, I downloaded the iTunes installer directly from the Apple/iTunes website and ran the install.  I worked perfectly and iTunes is working normally...  I think.
    FYI, one problem I encountered with the Software Update version of the installation is that iTunes didn't "see" my iPhone 4S.  The new installation resolved that issue.
    I hope this helps anyone else out there that is experiencing the same problem.

  • I need drivers for my Mac cube speakers to operate with Snow Leopard on my MacMini

    I have upgraded to Snow Leopard OS on my MacMini and the old speakers from my Cube no longer work.  Snow Leopard doesn't have the drivers.  Are there any driver out there that will enable me to continue to use the speakers, they look cool compared to aftermarket USB speakers and the embeeded speaker is not good.

    NHT is a brand similar to Yamaha "superzero" is the model name:
    If you are looking for an inexpensive alternative might try amazon & search for "Computer speakers"
    Logitech S150 USB Speakers with Digital Sound run about $15 USD
    Your Yamaha speakers would require some sort of amplification

  • I need to update from Mac OS X 10.5.8 to 10.7

    I need to update my software. I bought a new Iphone5 and need itunes 7, but need to update software before I can do that. Is it possible to jump from Leopard to to Lion?

    No; you need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer to install Lion. Since iTunes 10.7 requires 10.6.8 and that's also a free download for people running Mac OS X 10.6, get a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, and unless you have another reason to upgrade the computer's OS past 10.6.8, don't bother.

  • Need to update from MAC OS X server 10.4.11 to MAC mini server, any tips?

    Hello I am having issues to migrate from a Mac OS x server version 10.4.11, processor 2GHZ PowerpcG5, to a brand new mac mini server running mavericks.
    I been reading posts in the communities saying that I will need to get a snow leopard first(?) can I get MAC OS X snow leopard, or it needs to be MAC OS leopard server?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    I do not know for certain, but what little experience I have with Server, my guess is that you'll have to get 10.6 Sever.
    It's not available online, but might still be had by calling Apple & asking for... Part Number: MC588Z/A
    Or, you might repost in one of these areas...

  • Updating from 10.6 to 10.6.8 Snow Leopard

    Hi everyone,
    I am wanting to install Lion but of course I can't do that straight from Leopard, If I install Snow Leopard 10.6 or 10.6.1, can I just download the 10.6.8 update and skip all the others? I have capped internet which is why I am asking. What's the difference between a regular update & a combo update (apart from the huge download size difference).
    Cheers!

    You can absolutely; I would also suggest that instead of doing it via Software Update, you go to the Apple download page and download the combo updater 10.6.6 (that is the version the Mac App Store was included with. After you have that, go ahead and update to 10.6.8, again using the combo updater.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    (this is the link to the 10.6.6 update combo)
    And, the difference between a combo and regular update is: with a combo, you can go from 10.6.1 to 10.6.8, with a regular update, you can only move up one, i.e. from 10.6.1 to 10.6.2.

  • Up Grade from MAC OSX 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I have an IMAC 4.1 currently using MAC OSX 10.4.11 which has the following spec
         Proc 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo    
         Memory 512 MB 667 Mhz RAM
    Is it possible that I can up grade to Snow Leopard 10.6, if I have the above spec. ?

    seems like we are facing the same problem. All tech supports indicates I can go for Leopard but not Snow Leopard because we do not have at least 1Gb Ram

  • Need to update from Mac OSX 10.2.8...

    I know, it's ancient... can I not just upgrade/update to v10.3.9 (mostly care so I can use an iPod w/iTunes)? Do I have to buy v10.3 (is this Panther or something?). Could this old OS be the reason I have such terrible luck with the internet (connecting sometimes, page loading, freezing...)? I know no one w/a mac to ask to help me, so it sits doing nothing... thanks! Maybe I should just give up.

    Welcome To Discussions Christine!
    Some information in addition to the previous great replies.
    Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
    In addition to AppleRescue, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, such as Amazon, eBay, FastMac, etc.
    Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
    Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
    Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
    Additional info in these links.
    Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
    What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
    As previously posted, once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
    If your Mac does meet the Tiger System Requirements, and you consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
    Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
    Download the Media Exchange Program Order Form Here.
    Orders must be mailed by June 22, 2007.
    AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.
    Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

  • How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

    How do I update from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to a later version? The software I'm trying to run indicated I needed MAC OS X 10.7 or later.

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
