MacBook OS X 10.5.8 to update it to OS X 10.6 or higher

I have a MacBook OS X 10.5.8 and need to update it to at least OS X 10.6 or higher. How do I do that? I bought in 2008, it works fine but some online programs ask that I upgrade. Does my computer have the system requirements for it? Thanks!

  • I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps. On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory, and it's based our Mail, the only app not updated. Ideas?

    Maverick and Your System message
    I've updated my Macbook Pro and my iMac with Maverick, updating the various apps (Pages, Aperture, iPhoto, Numbers & iMovie, too) in the process.
    On my Macbook, everything functions perfectly. On my iMac, I get the Your System has Run out of Application Memory message. But it's not Calendar, it's Mail that not only won't open, but when it does now, it takes the entire system out with it.
    I open Safari, and it works. I open Firefox, and it works and Safari still works. I open Calendar and it works, Safari and Firefox continue to work. I open Reminders, and everything still works.
    I open Aperture, and it opens Finder instead, showing the 3.5 update that was installed two days ago (and Aperture has functioned), but doesn't seem to update the app; after about 20 seconds the update disappears and I can now open Aperture and it shows I'm now opening the updated Aperture, which it didn't show before.
    I click on Mail, and the cursor spins for ten minutes. The mail window finally opens, but the cursor spins and does not connect to upload new mail, and I finally Force Quit Mail. Since the Maverick update, even though Mail was not updated (and maybe because Mail was not updated), I have been able to receive emails twice, and then the program crashed.
    Besides the Aperture app, Pages didn't fully update on the iMac, and I had to remove the old Pages icon from the dock after the new program loaded up from Applications.
    Any ideas?

  • My 2011 Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.4 latest update won't connect to secured Wi-fi

    2011 Macbook Pro
    OSX 10.8.4 latest updates
    Suddenly stopped connecting to any wireless network which is secured, WEP/WPA/WPA2/personal/enterprise all do NOT work.
    Connects to unsecured networks just fine.
    For example, our wireless password is:
    123456890!
    I tried with WPA2, no luck.
    Tried with WPA2 and pw 1234567890, no luck.
    Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890!, no luck.
    Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890, no luck.
    Tried WEP with 1234567890, no luck.
    Tried with NO SECURITY on this wi-fi network, connected right away.
    -I did reset PRAM, no luck.
    -I deleted from Keychain, no luck.
    -I added as prefered network and removed, no luck.
    -I added new network location, no luck.
    -I removed the Wi-fi network adapter, rebooted, activated, no luck.
    -In the mac console logs, all I see are "wlEvent: en1 en1 link DOWN" when I try to connect to my secured wireless network (home or my office or even at a neighbors).
    -Wireless diagnostics tell me nothing
    -Console logs do not tell me anything
    -Warranty is expired and no AppleCare
    Seems like a bug to me, even though I have tried with a Netgear, Cisco/Linksys, D-Link router and even tried tethering to a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and iPhone 5, all same problem, says "Connection failed."
    APPLE FRIENDS HELP ME PLEASE!

    For example, our wireless password is: 123456890!
    Well a password that weak will get cracked in about 6 hours on just about any PC in the area.
    Now: LKUY*&T&67NH(*JKÎM<PijriuÎÓyhm8t, that's a real good network password, even a huge botnet would have trouble cracking that. I know because my router was PING flooded by the Flashback botnet and survived.
    After OS X is reinstalled over itself to fix it, you might have to do more as it could be a "in user account" issue with a corrupted preference file, bad users permissions or another cause that's not OS X

  • I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! Please help!

    Question
    I have a MacBook and I am unable to successfully update Firefox. I click "Update Firefox" and it's starts updating but never completes the process. I sometimes leave it for hours and it's still updating! It's almost as if something is blocking it ffrom completing the process. Please help

    Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

  • MacBook Pro not booting up after Software Update ('prohibited' symbol)

    Hi there
    I'm having some issues with my (late 2008) MacBook Pro after installing a recent software update: the machine is not booting up, instead displaying the 'prohibited' symbol on the grey bootup screen, thus:
    !http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/7215/photovl.jpg!
    The back story: this morning I ran Software Update and installed the iWork update, the latest security update and the Snow Leopard Graphics Update. This installation apparently went fine, however on the required reboot the computer displayed the above image, and did nothing.
    I booted from the Snow Leopard install DVD, fixed disk permissions and repaired the disc, which Disk Utility claimed was successful; the computer still would not boot.
    I then rebooted from the Snow Leopard DVD and restored from my most recent Time Machine backup (dated a few days ago, before the software update). This, still, did not do the trick.
    As I have never seen this particular issue before, I'm at a loss as to what to try next, partly as I don't really know what the symbol is signifying. Any assistance that can be offered would be very, very useful.
    Cheers in advance!

    Thanks for that, I did go looking for it but couldn't find it.
    Unfortunately, resetting the PRAM and NVRAM didn't work. Will a reinstallation of OS X make a difference, bearing in mind I've already restored from a Time Machine backup? (I don't know if those clone everything or don't include system files).

  • Macbook Pro keeps crashing after airport Atheros update (none before)

    I installed the update for Airport Atheros last week and I consistently had Kernel Panics. I thought it was the bad ram that I just installed. I then took the ram out and reinstalled Mac OSX completely. I ran all the software updates including the airport atheros one. Everything was running well then when I clicked on the wifi icon on the menu bar, i was hit by a kernel panic. I am so frustrated because I spent all night to restore Mac OSX and my personal data.
    So as you know, I never had a kernel panic related to airport card on my 90 days old macbook pro santa rosa prior to the update.
    Do you know anyway to revert the airport atheros update? I do not want to go through the hassles of reinstalling everything again.
    Thanks for your helps.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate... disconnect display, open lid laptop display will not activate... used to work fine.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.53GHz Mid2009.. updated to Lion which is now 10.7.3 build 11D50b... when I close lid and connect to Cinema Display, display will not activate when keyboard/mouse used... disconnect display, open lid and laptop display will not activate... only way out is hold power button.  Worked fine before Lion update.   Any Advice?

    Thanks very much Coander15... I've printed the doc you pointed me towards and I'll run through it.. hoping it helps!
    Before I installed Lion I simply hit any key on the keyboard or clicked the mouse...
    The keyboard is USB (usually connected to monitor which is connected to laptop... have tried direct connect to laptop as well with no luck) and mouse is USB wireless to one of those tiny plug in's... have tried direct connect USb mouse as well with no luck.
    I could plug the closed/sleeping laptop into the monitor and unplug from the monitor without incident all day/night... always worked fine. 
    Had heard something about this happening w/ Lion but went ahead anyway. 
    Oh well...
    Hoping your pointer helps... will let you know how it turns out.  Thanks very much for responding!!!

  • Macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    macbook pro won't boot after installing update 10.9.3

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs

    If so Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...

    In the US...
    1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775
    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

    I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update to ios 5 on my ipod touch.  My old macbook only has 10.4.11 and can't be updated to lion - and won't update my ipod touch to ios 5.  But the message on my new macbook pro says I have to update on the computer I normally use for syncing or my music will be lost.  Is there any solution for this?

    try exporting your iTunes libary from the old computer to the new one
    take a look at this from apple
