Is there no way to update from 10.4.11 to 10.5 series by buying some software online?

I have had my macbook since 2006, and it's version OS X 10.4.11
i didn't want to buy the new versions cuz it does everything that i want it to...
until today when i bought an iphone 4...it won't sync with my itunes, and the itunes that will work with the iphone4 won't install on my macbook, cuz my macbook now doesn't support it..
do i have to get a new macbook?

A good option would be to pick up the Mac Box Set (cheaper than the prices for Leopard on other retailers -- esp for what you get). It will upgrade you to Snow Leopard and give you iLife & iWork. (From what I recall from Apple a single Snow Leopard disc wont upgrade from TIger to Snow Leopard).
That way you can install the latest iTunes and sync your iPhone 4.
a cheaper cost effective investment instead of buying a whole new Mac.

    Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store *but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753)*.

  • Is there a way to update from 10.4.11 to 10.5?

    I am trying to install photoshop elements, but i am unable to do so unless i have 10.5!
    Can someone help?

    You will need to purchase a retail copy of Leopard. See: Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    If you have an Intel iMac you may wish to move up to Snow Leopard instead. It is $100.00 less expensive to purchase than Leopard.
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    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.

  • I'm trying to upate my mother in-law iPad2 to ios 5 from the same win. pc that my iPhone 4 is connected.  I don't want to transfer her purchase items, photos, ... to my library.  Is there a way to update without loosing anything on the iPad?

    Warning message says :
    There are purchased items on the iPad "Joce's iPad" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?
    Since I don't want her stuff on my pc, is there a way to update and not loose anything on the iPad?
    Thank you

  • Is there a way to update all snapshots in a tree?

    Hi all,
    I'm running Server 2012 R2 and have a VM with about a dozen snapshots under the main "clean" snapshot.  The problem I'm running into is that when I do a monthly check of updates, I have to update each individual snapshot with the new updates. 
    With a dozen snapshots its annoying more than a real problem, but I'm about to add several more VMs each with the same amount of snapshots and once I do it would go from annoying to intolerable, it would be just to time consuming.
    Is there a way to update the base image and have changes to the base image populate down to all the snapshots in the tree below it? 
    Thanks!!

    Thanks a lot, but no that's not what I was looking for.  Here's the scenario - I have a base image lets say it's called CP1 and from that base image I make changes and create a new checkpoint, call that CP2.  From CP2 I make some other
    changes and make another checkpoint call that CP3, etc. creating a checkpoint tree.
    The problem I run into is that when Microsoft rolls out updates our IT dept bundles them all up and forces all domain joined systems to update with them monthly.  As you can imagine this causes some issues with the user community who is using them. 
    Since each checkpoint is discreet as  mentioned in the article you referenced, I have to manually update each checkpoint with the updates, major pain to say the least.  I was hoping there was a process that would allow me to update the base
    image (CP1) and then be able to have those changes made to CP1 be forced onto CP2, CP3, etc.
    Vielen Dank! :)

    I have an older version of Firefox 3.6.6 I believe I am having an issue with one of the websites I sign into. Is there any way to update to the newest version. Without losing all my bookmarks and saved pass words?

    Hello johngervais, the latest firefox version is 26.0 (today 4 Jan 2014).
    note that [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works-some-versions-windows-xp Firefox no longer works with some versions of Windows XP], if you have '''xp with sp2 and above''' you can update to latest version, see : [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/26.0/system-requirements/ Firefox 26 System Requirements]

  • Is there a way to update my itouch 4.2.1 on my iMac 10.7.2 so that I can use iCloud on the touch?  I want to sync my calendar.

    Is there a way to update my itouch 4.2.1 on my iMac 10.7.2 so that I can use iCloud on the touch?  I want to sync my calendar.

    It depends which generation of iPod Touch you have.
    The 2nd generation Touch can only use iOS 4.2.1 as the latest version. You can identify the 2nd gen Touch from the model number etched into the back of the case, it's A1288.
    The 3rd gen Touch (and above) can install iOS 5. The 3rd gen Touch has model number A1318 etched into the back of the case.
    (The 4th gen has a camera, front and back.)

  • Is there no way to update the "Default Lables" on all slides once I've changed it under the Preferences?

    Is there no way to update the "Default Lables" on all slides once I've changed it under the Preferences?
    I really don't want to recreate the slides from scratch again.

    What about File, Export, Text Captions...? You'll have a Word document with two columns. Translate the second column (much easier in Word) and import again. That is the normal work flow for translation. Same is possible with XML instead of Word.

    I'm very afraid you will have to pay the immense sum of US $30 to upgrade to Snow Leopard.
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from their online store.

    You do realise that you can add Ram, if that is all that is holding you back it's not a problem.
    Tell me the exact model and age of your Mac. (The model identifier can be found by holding the option key down and clicking on the Apple Menu, select System Information (top entry) and then read the model identifier from the righthand panel (2nd entry down)

  • Safest way to update from curl 6 to curl 7?

    When I try to install distribute (or others) via curl, I get the error below:
    $curl http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py | python3
    dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libcurl.4.dylib
      Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/curl
      Reason: Incompatible library version: curl requires version 7.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 6.0.0
    So, onto installing curl 7:
    This post describes how to do so (copied below):
    1. Download curl sources: http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.25.0.zip
    2. Unarchive the zip file somewhere
    3. Open a Terminal window and go to the directory containing curl sources
    4. Type: CFLAGS=-m64 ./configure
    5. Type: make
    6. Type: sudo make install
    But I am concerned about ramifications to other programs that might use curl. Is this a safe install? (Is there a better location to get it from?) Is there a way to update curl from within the Mac OS?

    So, onto installing curl 7:
    I take that you haven't checked the version of curl on your computer.
    [ZSH-4.3.17] ~ % curl -V
    curl 7.19.7 (universal-apple-darwin10.0) libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.3
    Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps
    Features: GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
    I'm not sure that you need to update to the latest version. Anyways, I assuming that you have Xcode installed with the unix tools, version 7.26.0 builds with a simple ./configure, make, make install with a few errors. make test reports 4 test that failed.
    [ZSH-4.3.17] ~ % $HOME/tmp/sandbox/curl-7.26.0/src/curl -V         
    curl 7.26.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0) libcurl/7.26.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8r zlib/1.2.3
    Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smtp smtps telnet tftp
    Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz
    The default location of curl will be /usr/local/bin and libcurl will be /usr/local/lib. Nothing is touched in the OS X distribution.
