  • I need to update my operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6, I believe its the one before snow leopard and is just called leopard.

    i need to update my operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6 on my mac mini, I believe its the one before snow leopard and is just called leopard.

    You seem to have your OS's confused.   Your profile says 10.6 but you are asking to update from 10.5.8.
    10.5.8 is Leopard.   It is also the highest level of Leopard you can achieve.
    10.6.(x) is Snow Leopard.   And 10.6.8 is the highest level you can achieve.
    If you have 10.6 then all you will need to do is download and apply the combo updater.
    If you have 10.5.8, then you will need to review the machine ... Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard -Read the Technical Specifications
    Subject the machine will take it, you will then need to buy Snow Leopard from your National on-line Apple store.
    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, your upgrade will take you to 10.6.3 and you then will need to apply the Combo updater.  Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
    This will give you the best and highest level includine the App Store.
    Good luck.

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.

  • I need to update my operating system on my desk top mac OS X - version 10.5.8

    I need to update operating system. Dont know which one or how to do it.

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

  • My iTunes playlist page is frozen and I cannot connect with purchase store.  I miss an update download this week and I am not sure if this is needed to fix a bug.  How can I recover this download to update?

    My iTunes playlist page on PC is frozen and I cannot connect to store for purchase.  I missed an iTunes update download this week and I don't know if this would fix a bug.  How can I recover this download to have the latest update.

    It would be best to post this question under iTunes category. I am sure there are a few people having the same type of problem.

  • Can anyone help me?  I have a MacBook Air mini and I'm not sure which key or keys I need to click on to be able to unlock the keys ... I can't seem to click on anything because I think the keys are on lock mode.

    Please anyone help me please!

    If you don't have Time Machine or an External USB Hard Drive for Storage, I hate to say this but you may have to erase and re-install your Operating System.
    If you didn't empty the trash after you threw the Application Folder in the trash you can click on the trash and when it opens you can drag the Applications folder to the Desktop and drag and drop it back to the Mac HD.

  • HT4623 I have an Ipad 2 and I need to update the the system.  It does not have the software update in the settings.

    I do not have the update options in the settings.

    Assuming you have iOS 4.3 as your tagline suggests. You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
    In  the article you came from, scroll down to the section titled: Update your device using iTunes

  • I need to update my devices but can't because not enough storage. Purchased iCloud and still can't do updates and doesn't seem to work?

    I can't do any updates cause I've no storage I bought storage and now I can't do update cause I don't have enough mb?i need an apple genius to sort me out! It's probably something simple and when I look up apples website about iCloud it says I need the latest ios6 but I can't update because it won't let me?!! Advice please?

    iCloud doesn't increase the storage capacity on your phone.  That is fixed when you purchase it.  iCloud only allows you to sync data between devices, so they always have the same data.
    If you want to increase the free space on your phone so you can update it, you'll have to sync some of your data off your device to make more room.  One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and delete them off your phone.  You can sync some or all of them back later if you want.  Another option is to sync some or all of your music off your phone.  You can also sync this back later if you want.
