I want to update my OSX 10.6.8 to Yosemite.

I want to update my OSX 10.6.8 to Yosemite. My MacBook 7.1 fits the requirements. But when I download 10.10.1, it says that 10.10 is required. Is there a way around this? I want all my MacBooks using 10.10.1 now. Thanks!

Thanks, Ralph Landry11. That's what I get also. That's for the 10.10.1 upgrade.  See the version on the third line.
That’s what you should download from the App Store.
If you didn’t use the App Store, but instead used the Apple Downloads site, then you got the update, not the full installer.
The full installer from the App Store will only be 10.10.1. The only version available in the App Store is the latest version.
This is what you download:

  • Can update from osx 10.6.8 to yosemite?

    Is it possible to upgrade from OSX 10.6.8 straight to Yosemite?

    Hi Gerchak,
    I just checked and I have a MacBookPro 6,2, Intel Core i5, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB memory.
    Since I don't have a 7,1.. does that mean I can't run Yosemite? I'm a bit confused though because...
    On this page: How to install OS X Yosemite on your Mac - Apple Support
    It says..
    Before you install Yosemite, make sure you have one of these Macs:
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    My MacBook Pro is from 2009 so it fits the description.
    Now, where can I even download Mavericks (it isn't on the App Store anymore)?
    Thanks!

  • My daughter has a 2002 intel running Tiger and I want to update it to Snow Leopard. I get an error message that OSX can't be installed on this system. Please help!!! Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm having a really hard time here.
    I want to update my daughters intel from Tiger to Snow Leopard for her to make her life (and mine) easier.
    When I try install the OS, I keep getting an error message that OSX can't be installed on this Mac.
    What's going on?
    Never had so much trouble before.
    Please help.
    Thanks so much

    You're welcome. Please note that it is a little more difficult to obtain Snow Leopard these days. Please see the post by Kappy at the link below.

    I have a Powerbook G4 and I want to upgrade my OSX but forgot the password.   I haven't used it since I bought the computer 4 years or so ago.

    This article tells you how to procede without a install CD.
    It works, already tested on Snow Leopard.

    I want to update to lion but I need to update to snow lwpord first. I only have osx 10.5.8 so will snow lepord work on my computer when I try to install it?

    The first step does you Mac meet the hardware requirements for Lion.
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously recommended

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

    I am currently running my mac booc pro with the osx 10.5.8 and i want to update it. Which is the best way?

      Snow Leopard Purchase
    Computer Compatibility - Lion
    Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Your Mac needs:
    OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    8 GB or more of available space

  • Whats the problem, i want to update osx to10.8.2, but no updates available?

    I have a macbook pro retina, I deleted my osx base system accindently from the disc utilities, then i cannot enter anymore my mac, when i restart my mac it always got me back to the disc utilities, so i installed osx 10.8 using a flash disk or memory i dont know, when the install is finish , i wanted to update it to 10.8.2, but the mac app store always show me no updates available

    Check the build version you are currently using. Click the Apple logo in the top left corner, then About This Mac. Then click on the gray text showing 10.8.0. This will change the view to the build you have. If you have a version other than 12A269 then maybe the USB flash memory was made using a beta seed of 10.8.0 rather than the GM release and this would stop you from being able to upgrade.

  • I have Mac OS 10.4.11 and had Firefox. It told me it wanted to update to newest I could use but instead erased my older version and said I can't run new one. How can I get old one back?

    It downloaded and asked if I wanted to replace my current version, which I did. Then when I tried to open Firefox, it said I couldn't use this version. I guess my old version was overwritten. When I go to the Mozilla page, it doesn't say I can download anything that is compatible with my OS. Is there a way to get an older version?

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor ('''''which you have''''') '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher ('''''which you do NOT have''''').

  • Some pages don't render properly after Java update for OSX 10.6.8

    I can't seem to get T-mobile.com's website pages to render properly anymore. So far, this is the only website I'm having this issue with, though there could be more I'm not aware of.
    I go to www.t-mobile.com and this is what I get:
    I think I might be missing a plug-in, but not sure; if so, I don't know which one or how to get it.
    This only started happening after the latest Java update for OSX 10.6.8, which I installed on Feb. 24, 2013. All of T-mobile's pages look like this, except if I go to www.my.t-mobile.com's home page. Then I get a normal page, but after I log in, I get more wierd rendering issues again. So here's the page that appeared normal today:
    And after I log in successfully, I'm back to the wierd rendering issues again:
    I was so lost but then I decided to try a work around to get my online bill and managed to get it, but I don't want to see the pages like this. So help please?

    So, here's more on my point...
    I put in the 3 captured screen shots in my original post above. I used Grab to copy the web pages, saved them to my desktop as .tiff files and dropped them in for others to view. This morning, I went to look at my post and instead of seeing the screen shots, I see 3 tiny blue boxes with question marks. When I left click on the boxes, nothing happens. When I right click on them, I get options that are not helpful:
    Open Image in New Window
    Open Image in New Tab
    Download Image
    Copy Image Address
    Import Image
    Capture Selection from Screen
    Convert Selected Traditional Chinese Text (why the frack is this an option?)
    Convert Selected Simplified Chinese Text (or this an option?)
    I checked my Safari Preferences and I see I have checked, under Security, Enable plug-ins, Enable Java, Enable JavaScript.I have to have Java enabled to run a few things.
    Did something get corrupted in Safari?
    Am I'm missing some plug-ins?
    How do I get them back?
    I'm going to search the internet. Well, after doing the search, I still don't think I've got what I need. Thinking I might need to reinstall Safari. If this is the case, will I loose all my Bookmarks?

  • How do I cancel an update do OSX 10.9.5?

    Dear list members, I had serious trouble (crash, freezing) after updating my old iMac 27" (Late 2009) to OSX 10.9.5. Now I formatted my hard drive and fresh installed OSX 10.9.2. However, without me asking for it (I didn't turn on auto-update), the App Store downloaded OSX 10.9.5 and wants to update my system after a reboot (please see the screenshot). How do I cancel this update? I'm sure OSX 10.9.5 will make my iMac crash again, so I'd better wait for a debugged version, which will surely have to come soon, as several users are having similar problems. Thanks!

  • Download of update to OSX Mountain Lion

    I was updating to OSX Mountain Lion, used my computer for something else and the download got interrupted.
    How do I resume the download?

    That is a point many users miss...even Apple has limited bandwidth when it comes time to release a major operating system and millions of users want to download at the same time...during the first two weeks one should expect delays and long, long download times.
    It is getting to the point that suggesting downloading during "off hours" isn't even good advice...world-wide there is no such thing as an off hours time segment
    I have a very fast f9ber optic carrier and download took around thirty minutes...another good reason to tell people to make a copy of the installer before doing the installation so you do not need to download again.
