I have version 5.0.5 on my mac - how do I upgrade to lion?

You are runnnig Leopard which means you must upgrade to Snow Leoapard before you can install Lion.
Go back to the About This Mac window.
Does it say:  Core Duo or Core 2 Duo?
Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM.

    If you have a compatible Mac, phone the Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, run Software Update, and use the Mac App Store to get Mountain Lion.

  • Mac OS X version 10.5.8 how do I upgrade the version?

    I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 how do I upgrade the version?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
    If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
    If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion.

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, how do I upgrade to 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8? Do I need to just go to the Geek Squad or is it something I can do?

    Phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD. If you want to go to 10.7 or 10.8 and have a Mac that supports it, buy it from the Mac App Store; if your computer supports 10.7 but not 10.8, order a download code from the Apple Store.

    I bought PhotoShop 12.0 for Windows 8.  I cannot find the Curves function in the program.  Is Curves excluded from this version? If so, how can I upgrade to get Curves?  Thank you!

    teddy27 a écrit:
    Thank you, Michel, for your helpful answer.  I have downloaded SmartCurve and saved the files in C:\program files\adobe\Photoshop elements\plug-ins.  I re-started PhotoShop.  Do I access SmartCurve to adjust curves from within PhotoShop? 
    You can acces it from the menu 'Filters', there is a line called 'Easy.Filter', click it and it shows 'Smartcurve'.
    Separately, can I upgrade my PhotoShop Elements to Photoshop without signing up to the CC 'rental' system of monthly payments?  Sincere thanks,  Ted
    I know that you don't need the CC 'rental' subscription to have Photoshop, but as far as I know, there is no upgrade path from Elements except periodical special offers.

    Remember to do the following before starting the upgrade process:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Restart the computer from the Apple menu.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
