Mac os x 10.6.8 to latest
what's the best upgrade path from MAC OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion for a MacBook Air?
The only way to get ML is to downlad it from the mac app store. However, first you need to make sure your mac can run ML:
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
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)
Seeing that you have a 2010 model, you should be fine.

how could iI upgrade my OS from Mac OS 10.5.8 to the Latest version Mountain Lion
Hello,
You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
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?...

It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!

You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8 -

In MAC 10.5.8 I see that latest Java version is 1.5.0_30, can I install latest Java 1.6 version in MAC if yes, how can I install that?
This is a User-to-User forum. We do not have any knowledge into what Apple will or will not do.
However, based on past history, it is unlikely Apple will invest anything except critical security updates into Mac OS X 10.5. I could be wrong.
If you really REALLY need Java 1.6 on your Mac, you should consider upgrading to a newer version of Mac OS X. -

Is it possible to save keynotes on a central place so that multople users on mac/ipad.iphon can always have the latest version and edit this ?
If you mean saving the project files; iCloud, Dropbox, Skydrive will do this.
If you mean the application, then definitely not possible. -
Upgrade from Mac OS 10.6.8 to the latest
I have iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8 and when trying to install Adobe Photoshop I'm told that I have to upgrade to 10.7. How to do this and is it OK regarding all other applications I already have installed on my computer?
Note that any PPC application you might be running in Rosetta will NOT work on later versions of OS X.
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

I am unable to sync my IPad with my new Mac Air. Dialogue box says I need latest version of ITunes and to go to Apple and download. at that site it says that the IPad already has ITunes so there is nothing to download?
You need to update itunes on the computer not the ipad.

I am running the latest OS version and uploaded the latest version of Aperture 3.1.2 all successfully installed. I have all my photos (say 12000 files) stored on a RAID WD (MyBook) external hard-drive and I assume that that has the latest software update Wd 2.25. I have previously had problems with Aperture's external referencing - which drops out frustratingly, I was in the middle of a major import of photos when the spinning rainbow ball appeared. I am now unable to open Aperture.
I have tried rebooting to no change.
Help please?Colin-
Thanks for the detailed info. One additional question, how full is each hard drive? The internal and external drives' % full.
Step one is to change the import workflow. Even though lots of manuals inappropriately lead folks in that direction, one should never import directly into Aperture or any other images management app. Instead, in this exact order:
• Restart the Mini (to clear possible memory leaks of the limiting 2-GB of RAM).
• Create a folder ("abc") for the incoming images. Since you are on a Mini you will want to be referencing Masters with the Library on the Mini's hard drive and the Masters on your external RAID array. The abc folder should be created on the RAID.
• Connect a card reader with the camera card in it. The camera card should show on the desktop. If it does not show, restart the Mini with the reader and card still plugged in. You can of course use the camera directly in this step, but I do not recommend it. Obviously cameras like the iPad do require direct camera-to-computer uploading.
• Drag the contents of the card's image folder(s) to the abc folder that you previously created on the hard drive.
• Review the abc folder contents to be sure they all copied properly.
• Software-eject the camera card.
• Physically disconnect the camera card reader from the Mini. This step is important to help avoid all-too-common human error.
• Again review the abc folder contents to be sure they are indeed all there (because stuff happens sometimes...).
• Back up the abc folder contents on to another drive.
• Review the files on the backup to be sure they all copied properly.
• At any time after but not before the previous step you can reformat the camera card in-camera. Do not delete images on the card using the computer.
• Start Aperture and only have Aperture running (due to your limited 2 GB RAM).
• Import the images from folder abc into Aperture, selecting "Store Files: In their current location" on the right-hand side of the import window.
Some generic advice I posted in another thread:
Aperture is a heavy pro graphics app that is very demanding of hardware. Your Mac's CPU, GPU, i/o and RAM are all limiting to Aperture so we need to do what we can to optimize. Some steps:
• Set Previews to only be built manually, and only tell Aperture to build Previews when you are not otherwise editing in Aperture. I suggest setting the size of Previews to be the pixel dimensions of your display.
• Keep the internal drive underfilled for speed, which sooner or later usually requires using a Referenced-Masters-Library with Masters on external drives. Back up originals before importing into Aperture or any other images app.
• The Aperture Library should be on an internal drive.
• Turn off Share Previews with iLife and iWork.
• Remember that HDs slow as they fill and keep the internal drive underfilled. Approx. 70% full _maximum_ is a good guideline.
• If page outs increase significantly during operation, max out RAM and/or try to run Aperture by itself. On my C2D MBP with its max of 3 GB RAM I always did a restart prior to a heavy Aperture session to clear any memory leaks and make sure no other apps were open. Browsers in particular will often suck RAM Aperture would otherwise be using.
IMO all Aperture users who can should routinely bump RAM to at least 8 GB.
• Some users have observed that it can take a new Aperture installation time (weeks) to stabilize on slow computers. So do not panic; and allow Aperture to continue background work by not fully shutting down the computer.

Mac book pro won't start after latest osx update
Just keeps re-booting showing progress bar. After recent java/iTunes update the Mac book pro restarted and wouldn't shut down. So I powered it down. Anybody that could tell me how to roll back to latest successful startup?

Hi. I love working on Fireworks. I use it to tweak pictures for web letters. I had the latest full version at my previous company but is now on my own and can't afford the latest version. Is there anyway of loading an older Adobe Fireworks version for my Macbook for a bit cheaper?
The latest (and forever last) version is CS6 - it is a dead product,and no longer maintained or supported by Adobe.
It is actually quite hard to find the purchase link now:
http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html?start=10
It will cost you $299 - but honestly, I would stay away from FW at this point. You are investing money in a dead application, and there is a good chance that it will no longer function properly on your mac in a few years time.
It may be a better idea to get something like Sketch: Sketch 3
Or affinity Designer: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/
Affinity Designer is only $49. -
Another note, I can't believe that after all of this time with the new discussion boards, you still can't edit posts from any of Apple's iOS devices.
I posted this on my iPAd and had to just edit this from my Mac because I accidentally posted this question before I finished.
Royal Pain!
Message was edited by: MichelPMMy Mac connects to the Internet via WiFi through a WifI card. I am running OS X 10.5.8 and the latest update of iTunes to find that Apple has (I think) artificially, not allowed sync'g of iOS devices on 10.5.8. This option is greyed out and says for OS 10.6 and above only.
Why impose this limit if we Leopard users can still use the latest version of iTunes and have WiFi capabiltity to do so? -
