I need to upgrade my OSX 10.5.8 on my mini. How do I do that?

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.

Click here. This tells you what you would like to know. You could also install the free Crucial System Scanner Tool which will scan your system to find the exact configuration you currently have and what you could upgrade to.
Let me know if this helps.

HELP! I Need to upgrade to OSX tiger

Hiya, I recently bought a new i pod classic, but found out after i opened it that I would need to upgrade to OSX 10.4.8 (my old i pod works fine on my current mac so didn't check). Details of Mac are as follows
Machine Model: iMac
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 800 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.3.4f2
Anyway, i went into the Mac shop they said i couldn't upgrade to Lepoard as the mac was too old, but OS Tiger would work but they didn't sell Tiger anymore but I could get hold of them on ebay and that should work. So I managed to get hold of a OS tiger Version 10.4.10 and was told by the seller that this would work. Anyway it won't load, it keeps saying it won't install on this computer. Has anyone else had these issues and how did you manage to resolve it. if so does anyone know how to install it? thanks in advance!

Sounds like you were sold a Mac model specific disk. You've really been getting run around. Hopefully you can get your money back for that disk.
I guess you have to ask yourself how badly you want/need the new iPod. Can you still return it if you are not able to find the right Tiger install disk? I understand that some people are being charged extravagant prices these days for Tiger disks since Leopard has come out. May be a good time to take a step back and decide about how much upgrading you are willing to do and then to do so at your own pace.
Good luck!
Steve M.
Edit: Those Amazon prices are outrageous.

I need to upgrade to OSX version 10.6.8 or later but cannot find the download anywhere?

Please help! - I need to upgrade to OSX version 10.6.8 or later but cannot find the download anywhere?

10.6.8 requires 10.6 some version to be installed in the first place. Stedman's link will give you 10.6.3 retail which should work with the machine in your signature. If you need the 10.6.8 update, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
If you need 10.7 or above, read this tip first:

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty.

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.

Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks". Send it to the trash and delete it. Then try the download again.

HT4550 I just installed Snow Leopard 10.6 on my 2007 Mac Probook. I need to upgrade my safari or install a newer version. How do I do this? I can't find any installation links.

Thank you for your response. I downloaded Safari 5.1.7. I don't know if I was successful because the system requirements called for 10.6.8, and I recently downloaded Snow Leopard 10.6.3

Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?

Hi,
I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
Possible errors include:
Bad gateway URL
Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exception

Do you have integration configured between the two systems? It sounds like you don't from the error. Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working. If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created?

I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager. Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A and drag them to library B in iPLM.

As I said you need to:
You need to wipe the hard disk and reinstall the OS by booting into the recovery partition and reinstall the original OS via the internet. It will ask you to enter your ID

You can't, that is as high as the iPad 1 can go since it only has 256MB of RAM.

I am trying to transfer files from my PowerBook G4 (OSX 10.4.11) to my new iMac (Mountain Lion). Migration assistant tells me I need to upgrade migration assistant on the G4, but I can't find a download that will work for anything older than OSX 10.5.

Yes, my PowerBook G4 is still trucking along. It is running OSX 10.4.11, but I just bought a new iMac that is running Mountain Lion. I just tried to use Migration Assistant. It told me to update Migration Assistant on the G4, but I can't find an update for anything earlier than 10.5. Is there a way to get my files transfered, or am I going to need to update the OS on my computer I was getting ready to retire?
Thanks!

You never know, someone might remember. What happens in detail when you try to use it, and HOW are you trying to use it?

TS3623 I rented a movie "Fracture". We watched over an hour and it quit. It just is locked on "Acquiring". I guess I need to upgrade my Wi-Fi to high thru-put. How can I see the rest of the movie and the upgrade?

I rented a movie"Fracture" We were able to watch an hour of it and then it quit been able yesterday evening. I have not to continue with the movie which is quit good. I probably need to upgrade my wi-fi. How can I view the movie after the upgrade?

Once you start viewing a movie you will have 24 or 48 hours (depending on location) before it expires.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/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.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
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. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
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. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
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.
     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.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 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 Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         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.
