My computer says i need to update to OX 10.6

I downloaded what i thought was this but when i try to install it it says i need to update to the OSX 10.6.. what do i do

You cannot download Mac OS X 10.6, you must purchase it for $20 US from the Apple on-line store...click Store upper left of browser window, then search on Snow Lion to get the order information.  Once purchased and installed you can do an on-line software update to version 10.6.8.

  • I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Help?

    I can't download the latest itunes (I need to for my phone) because it says I need an updated OS version, but my computer says everything is up to date. Any help?

    First you need to install Mac OS 10.6. To do this you have to buy the OS disk. (This is a whole different OS, not an update of 10.5.) Order it here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You may be able to install an even newer OS, but you have to get 10.6 first.
    Please look at Apple Menu / About This Mac / More Info... and check under Hardware Overview for the Model Identifier of your Macbook. That will tell us whaat is the highest OS you can install.

  • My ipod touch says I need to update the software in order to access iTunes for apps, but iTunes says I have the most current version.  What do i do?

    I have an iPod touch.  When I try to download an app, it says I need to update the device's software to access the iTunes store.  But, when i connect to iTunes, it says I have the most current version.  I'm stuck.  My mother got this iPod as free-with-purchase when she bought her desktop.  She used it, then gave it to me.  Could this be the problem? because she connected it to her iTunes and now it won't work on mine?  When I first plugged it into my iTunes, it said the iPod was registered to another account and did I want to sync it with my account, to which I said yes.  So far, this iPod has been useless to me because I can't download any apps to it.  Help, please.

    Which ipod is it?

  • My daughter's ipod nano shows up in "devices" when I plug it in...but it disappears.  Right away it says it needs to update, but then after extracting the files it comes back and says that it can't be updated because it can't be unmounted.  help?!

    When in DFU mode and connected to the computer iTunes does not say anything but iTunes will see the iPod and you can restore the iPod via iTunes. When in recovery mode and you connect, iTunes will say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

    Are you using a very old version of OS X?  Are you using a very old computer?

  • Says it needs an update, but says it's up to date...makes no sense!

    First of all, why does the new version of Garageband seem to have less options in the software instrument section? Also, any time I go to look at the loops, they aren't accessible, you can see the "ghost" versions of them, and if you click on them it says you need to update it. When I try to update it, it says that my computer is up to date. I've tried downloading the updates for Garageband, but none of them seem to be fixing the problem...help me...please

  • My iphone 3gs says it need to update when it doesnt

    My I phone 3  keeps saying it needs to update but each time i put it to itunes it keeps turning on and off
    whats the problem?

    Hello 666DanceMaster,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you've been experiencing with your iPhone.  I'd like you to follow the steps below to help resolve the issue:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

    Hi conor1221!
    You will probably want to download the newest version of iTunes (iTunes 11.1) directly from Apple and install it on your computer if you are having issues updating. The link for the download can be found here:
    Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

    Good day Goose253501,
    It sounds as though your iPhone is having some difficulty accessing the App Store servers when attempting to sign in. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
