I would like to upgrade my operating system from 10.6 to 10.7?

How do I upgrage my operating system on my Mac from 10.6 to 10.7?

First check that your Mac meets the System requirements for Lion...
Lion Tech Specs > http://support.apple.com/kb/SP629
See here to Buy it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
If so Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Lion Download code...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
In the US...
1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Also... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Lion is a hungry beast...
You can use these Links to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
If in the UK... Go to http://www.crucial.com
It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
Those sites also have videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

I would like to upgrade my operating system, but still have Leopard and don't know how to make the "leap" to newer software.

I have a makbook pro, running with Leopard (10.5.8). I know that I missed both Lion and Snow Leopard and want to know the best way to upgrade. Do I need to buy both in addition to Mountain Lion? Will my computer even run Mountain Lion? I need step by step instructions because everyone I talk to just says "Just upgrade it" Thanks.

Upgrading to 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.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
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.
If you need to purchase Lion call 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. Ask for a Sales Representative. They will check your Apple ID, and email you a code and instructions. The cost is $29.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download.
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
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps - App compatibility and feature support for OS X & iOS.

HT1338 I have a Mac Tiger version and I would like to upgrade my Operating System.

Can this be done by downloading it directly or do I have to bring in my computer to an apple store?

Your computer profile information is confusing. You say you are running Tiger yet your profile says your computer is running Lion which is three versions beyond Tiger. Which version are you running?
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window then "About This Mac", and tell us what it says for "version". Now continues to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
You can do any system upgrade yourself. The ease with which is can be done is more a matter of which version your really need. If you are indeed running Lion then upgrading to Mountain Lion can be done online for $20. If you are indeed running Tiger and are running an older computer that can only go to Leopard then you will have to do a lot of hunting for a copy of Leopard and be prepared to spend a lot of money buying it (maybe $100+?)

I have a mac, would like to upgrade to mountain lion from mac os x, anybody experienced any problems after this upgrade, thanks

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) 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
If you can/do upgrade, I recommend you make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable DVD/USB stick to install using this free program.
Bootable Drive DVD or USB Flash Drive – Lion Diskmaker
Our 2 computers haven't experienced any significant problems, even though others have. I find it much better than 10.7 Lion, which I used for a week before reverting to 10.6.8
Mavericks is supposed to be released this fall, so you may want to wait.

You can't. Nothing that runs under v10.1.1 can run 10.5.8.
No MacBook Pro can run under v10.1.1.
So something in your post is wrong.

How do I upgrade the operating system from 10.3.9 to 10.5

Hi,
I have an iBook G4 which is running 10.3.9 at the moment and I would like to upgrade it to 10.5.
Where do I get the OS from and how do i install it?
Sorry I am new to MAC so have no real knowledge on how to any of this.
Thanks,
alamb200

Unless you find it on eBay, it's likely to cost you more than the iBook is worth.
Apple sold it for $129, and you could try giving them a call to see if they may still have it available via phone sales. You need the full retail version.

Don't buy any version that came with another Mac; it won't work, neither will an "upgrade" disc. (An upgrade disc requires that you already have Mac OS X 10.4 installed.)
Good luck.
(Unless you can find an exceptional deal on Leopard, the money would probably be better spent on upgrading to a MacBook with Leopard or Snow Leopard already on it.)

My iPhone asked if I would like to update my operating system. I said yes. After the update, it asked me for a passcode which I have never used before. How do I restore my iPhone when I cannot go beyond the passcode page?

After operating system upgrade, my iPhone demands a passcode be entered. I have never used a passcode. How can I restore my iPhone to how it was before?

It's asking you to create a passcode. You can turn it off later if you wish.

MAC OS X 10.5.8, I want to update. can update online, which version and at what price?

This forum is for Mac hardware made before 1998 and no computer it covers can run OS 10.5.8 or higher. Please tell us what Mac product yo uhave and we can get you moved to a more active and appropriate forum. We must know your Mac model because each sub-variant has different limits on how high the OS can be upgraded. Also tell us how much RAM is installed; many upgrades may require adding RAM for best results.

HT4463 I would like to update my operating system ?

what are the steps?

Ahh, I need to go from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8.
To upgrade from 10.5.x to 10.6.8, you need to purchase Snow Leopard on disk:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Install that, then run Software Update and install all available updates to bring it up to 10.6.8.
By the way, you posted this in the forum for Mac OS X 10.8. I'll ask the hosts to move it to a more appropriate forum.

I need my Verizon tablet to upgrade its operating system from a 4.2.2 to a 4.3 or higher. How do i do this?

I want my tablet to upgrade. Can I do this manually or is it automatic?

depending on what tablet you have, updates are available for certain models. what model do you have? in general OTA updates are done automatically and are pushed in stages. but you can pull an update manually ((if available for your model/manufacturer) by going into:
Settings>Apps
go to All apps
find Google Services Framework, open it.
then clear data (scroll to the bottom) and then force stop
after this restart your tablet. wait for the tablet to initialize for a couple of minutes (complete app loading and services).
then go to Settings>About phone
then System Updates and hit refresh.

HT1338 How do I upgrade my operating system from 10.5.8 to 10.6 or later

I need the best method to upgrade my Macbook 10.5.8 to 10.8.2 so that I can use Lion. Thanks for your help.

If you want to use Mountain Lion, then Niel's post covers that.
If you want Lion, which preceded Mountain Lion, you'll also buy that through the online Apple store, who can sell you a code to download it. You'll need to be at OS X 10.6.8 for either option.
The online Apple store's number in the US is 800-MY-APPLE.

Upgrade of Operating System

During upgrade of Operating system from 4.2.5 to 6.0.1, I synced my ipad 2 (4.3.5) to a new computer and after the update had downloaded, the installation started, but now the IPAD is acting like a new device. The screen seen is the one that shows up when you first plug in the ipad. How do I avoid loosing all my photos and apps and other items stored on the ipad?

If you are still configuring the iPad as "new" - when you get to the end of the setup process - you can choose to restore the iPad from and iCloud backup or an iTunes backup. Select whichever option that you use for your backups (you do backup don't you?) and restore from that backup.
