Hi Sally246,
The version of Safari you use comes with the Mac operating system. With a computer capable of running Mac OS X 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion) you can also run Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) which comes with Safari version 8.0.

Would Like to Upgrade to Leopard - Where Do I Begin?
I would like to upgrade to Leopard, but I have a few concerns. My MacBook Pro was purchased in June 2006, so I think right when they were first available. I was running a trial version of Boot Camp, so about 40% of my hard drive is running on Windows XP Professional. I never use it and I'd like to uninstall this before I upgrade. How do I do this if Boot Camp is a trial version and I cannot run it any more?
Furthermore, I have a lot of software on the OS side of my hard drive that I really can't uninstall because I don't have any discs for it. This includes MS Office 2004, Adobe CS3, and Final Cut Pro 5. I'm afraid these program won't work if I upgrade to Leopard. Is this right?
I think the first step should be getting an external hard drive and backing up all the files I want to save, including programs. If I do this, will I be able to run those programs again on Leopard? Can anyone recommend the best way to proceed from here? Thanks.Hey again. In regards to Adobe CS3, the pdf document http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf describes Adobe's support for Leopard. As noted in the document, the disk installation of CS3 may not function correctly under 10.5 but there are updates available that can increase compatibility.
Creating a clone of your hard drive is a very good idea. If you find your programs don't work under Leopard or the Upgrade installation is somehow botched, you can just restore from the clone backup. If you do decide to remove the Boot Camp partition using Disk Utility, be very very careful that you don't erase your main partition. Remember, you'll have to use the Leopard Disk Utility if you want to repartition your hard drive without erasing everything. Make sure you read all the dialog boxes thoroughly to make sure that the OS X volume will not be erased. It'd be a really good idea to make the clone before messing with your hard drive.
Unfortunately none of us here know exactly what the Snow Leopard pricing plan will be. It's likely that there won't be any upgrade plan for Tiger to Snow Leopard so you may have to pay the full retail price. If you consider that upgrading from Tiger to Leopard is $129 (retail price of Leopard) then Leopard to Snow Leopard is probably $29, as opposed to getting just Snow Leopard for (probably) $129, it'd be cheaper to wait. But that's just my opinion, if you want to get Leopard before Snow Leopard, go ahead.
In regards to how big of an external hard drive to get, first let me remind you that you'll need a drive at least as big as your internal drive to make a bootable clone backup. Then you may want to consider that if you decide to use the drive with Time Machine after upgrading, you'll need a drive at least two or three times the size of your internal. If you also want to use your external drive for storage, you could partition it into some space for Time Machine and some space for storage of files. Note that it is generally recommended that you have a completely separate drive for Time Machine, to increase disk performance and reduce wear on the drive.
Good luck with your upgrade!

I have an IPOD Touch IOS 4.2.1 and would like to upgrade to 5. How do I do that? Can't download an app for audio books.
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware
The maximum iOS version for the iPhone 3G and second generation iPod touch is 4.2.1.
The maximum iOS version for the third generation iPod touch and original iPad is 5.1.1.
The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch is 6.1.5.
If you don't know what device you have, append the last three characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.

Would like to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro machine/software. How can I save my quicken data from quicken 2006?
Users have reported that Quicken 2015 for Mac is an upgrade of the generally loathed Quicken Essentials for Mac.
I recommend you continue your Quicken operating experience by purchasing Quicken 2007 for Mac directly from Intuit for $15. It will open your Quicken 2006 file and operate as you have before.
To obtain Quicken 2007 for Mac for $15:

I would like to upgrade my CS5 version Web Premium and Acrobat Pro 9 to the newest version. I have a Student License and am looking for an upgrade. Suggestions? Not sure I want to pay monthly for the cloud version.
There is no physical media, but of course you can always put the installers on an USB stick or whatever. Otherwise there are no upgrades for S&T versions. if you are still eligible you simply buy a fresh license of CS6 with the student discount.

I would like to upgrade my old iMac G3
I have the orignal iMac Bondi G3 233 (1997), which I have not used for years. I recently connected the computer to my DSL modem noting that it still works. However, all applications and softwares are outdated and the surfing speed was miserable although I have DSL. I was nevertheless able to "surf".
I would like to upgrade the computer so that I can use it for surfing (nothing else expected from the computer, just surfing). In this context, some questions:
1. Does it make any sense?
2. I would like to clean the computer from all old, obsolate apps & programs. What should I clean and what should I leave?
3. Can I buy more RAM? Difficult to install?
4. What else (than RAM) should I buy?
5. Any other remarks?
Thanks a lot.1. Does it make any sense?
To upgrade an ancient 233 to surf the Net? This only makes sense if it will be used by kids, or people who don't expect speed. This computer won't really be able to handle things like Flash, any kind of movie, online games, etc. If it will be used by anyone who wants to do this kind of thing, well, good luck!
2. I would like to clean the computer from all old,
obsolate apps & programs. What should I clean and
what should I leave?
If it will only be used for surfing, just leave on the basics. IE/web browser, Office, etc. Anything like Photoshop or whatever can be trashed, because that kind of thing really won't run well. Games can take up space, and will probably be slow, so they can also be trashed.
3. Can I buy more RAM? Difficult to install?
Difficult to install in a tray loading iMac? Yes. Very. You have to take out the whole logic board/drive assembly to get at the RAM, and you have to take out the processor card to get to the bottom RAM slot.
4. What else (than RAM) should I buy?
A larger, faster hard drive. You'll need it. The faster, the more responsive the computer will be. The larger, the more files you can have.
5. Any other remarks?
Honestly, if I were you I'd take the money you'd use to upgrade this computer and just buy a maxed out slot loader. They're faster, they can run Tiger (slowly), they're much easier to upgrade, etc. etc. But it's your choice. -
I just purchased a Power Mac PC G4. The system has OS Tiger 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade it to Lion.
How can I do It?
Thank You
HubertPPC (PowerPC) is the processor architecture of all G3, G4 and G5 Power Mac computers.
PPC Macs cannot run any OS greater than Leopard, 10.5.8 because after that, Apple quit developing for PPC processors and limited support for the Intel processor line only.
As for upgrade to Leopard, Yes, if your machine meets the minimum requirements of 867 MHz or faster processor, 512 MB or greater of RAM and has a DVD reader it can have Leopard installed.
To install Leopard, one must first purchase a RETAIL (black with X on it) disc.
After install of 10.5, 10.5.1,10.5.4 or 10.5.6 retail version, free updates to 10.5.8 are available from Apple.
Check eBay for discs:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
If your machine is slower than 867 MHz, Google "Unsupported Leopard Installation".
Tiger is lthe best choice for slower PPC Macs. -
Can anyone offer some advice i am looking to upgrade the OS system on one of my macbook pro's, currently running os10.4.11, I would like to upgrade to OS10.5? how would I go about this, and is there a cost, for what is an old operating system now?
Since your Mac probably came with 10.4, there is no longer a way to get 10.5 Leopard install media. IF it has the requirements, you may be able to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard by buying the boxed install media at the Apple Store for $30.

I have an iMac purchased new about 5 years ago with OS 10.4.11. I would like to upgrade to Lion. I currently have a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 GB of ram. Can I upgrade to Lion, and what is the best way to do so?
From what I read here:
http://www.tuaw.com/2011/06/06/lion-...u-2-gb-of-ram/
s long as they already have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in it.All a person needs to do with that type of iMac is to upgrade/max out their Ram. They claim that an Interl iMac with Core 2 Duo is all that is needed, as long as it has OS 10.6.8 installed. They say you don`t need the "Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor"
But I wonder about the RAM speed, the iMac 2.33Ghz uses DDR2 SDRAM, which I believe is rated at 667Mhz. Lion maybe installed but it might be problems running smoothly or not?
Did some quick checking and the iMacs apple is selling this year use 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM.
The only thing to do is to make sure you have a good back-up, Install your RAM and install Snow Leo, then wait a couple of hours and install Lion.
Good Luck -
I have OSX 10.4.11 and would like to upgrade to Mavericks. Can I upgrade to Snow Leopard or do I have to climb through all the other OS'? Thanks.
Hi, you need 10.6.8 first...
First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
then you must get 10.6, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

I would like to upgrade my Imac 8,1 (20 inch early 2008) from 1Gb RAM to 4 Gb. Apple no longer provides 800Mhz2DDR2 SDRAM but recommended Crucial, Kingston or RAMjet.
Are there any difference in these vendors chips as the price range is from $51-$99?
Thanks, JohngI'm coming late to this string because I now have the same issue as gillnfly and you have all solved virtually all of my questions - thanks! My only other question to add to what you've already said is - I currently have 1 G of memory installed. Can I ADD a 2G card to get to 3G (probably more than I need), or should cards match if you have more than 1 - i.e., 2 1G cards or replace existing 1G with a 2G, or even 2 2G cards (way more than I need).
Thanks for your spot-on comments! I already found the OWC website and you've confirmed that's the best place to go. -
I would like to upgrade my itunes but have a macbook 10.8.5. How can I do this?
I would like to upgrade my itunes but have a macbook 10.8.5. How can I do this?
Do you have 10.8.5 or 10.5.8? It's listed as the latter on your equipment setting, but you stated that you have 10.8.5? If you have 10.8.5 you have the most recent version and you should be able to update iTunes by checking for updates. However, if you have 10.5.8 you need to first update to 10.6 so that you can download the new version of iTunes. To upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to get a hold of Apple so that they can send you the install DVD which will allow you to update your computer, after that, you can then download updates and get access to the App Store right from your desktop where you can then download Lion or Mountain Lion should you choose to move on further.
