My Mac OS is version 10.5.8 can I update to the lastest OS?

I want to upgrade the OS but not sure if I can go straight to the latest OS or if I need to install another one first?

Another post mentioned this:....
Your model must have a 64-bit EFI boot ROM. See OS X v10.6- Macs that use the 64-bit kernel
An easy way to tell if you are running a 64-bit kernel is to use the uname command-line program. Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter the command line:
$ uname -a
Press RETURN.
The "x86_64" in the excerpt below means that you are running a 64-bit kernel. If the output showed "i386" instead, that would mean a 32-bit kernel.
I did the above and it returned......
9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:55:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386
but like you say I have no issues running applications
as for cricket....I only follow rugby

My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having the os between?

My os is osx version 10.4.11 can I update to the latest os without having any of the osystems that are in between these two?

I would suggest Snow Leopard from there. Last I heard, telesales were selling it at $20 for the single user.
With that, you can run mostly everything that runs in Tiger, providing you specify Rosetta to be installed (custom installs).
You will almost certainly have problems with printer and scanner drivers unless they're very new models.
Also, some software may need updates (Adobe in particular) not all of which are free.
Normally, you can install 10.6.3 directly over the Tiger installation without upsetting your user data, applications or preferences, but you should always back up to an external drive, preferably as a bootable clone (you can use the Restore function in Disk Utility or a number of third-party apps for this).
I've done 8 installs from Tiger to SL; 6 of them went without any problems, but 2 of them wouldn't install until I erased the HDD and did a clean installation. Should that be necessary, you migrate your data back from the external during the Setup process.
For Lion, your specification is minimal and you can't make use of more than another GB of RAM (your maximum is 3GB). It would run, but very slowly.
Also, Lion doesn't have Rosetta and will not run older PPC applications (like Apple Works and older versions of MS Office), or indeed drivers for peripherals that were written in PPC code, so you'd be looking at more expense to replace a lot of programmes.

HT1923 Can not Update to the lastest version of iTunes Windows Vista 32 bit

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a compaq laptop. I am trying to update to the lastest version of iTunes. I have tried to remove all of the exsisting componets of itunes but I am not able to remove iTunes and Apple Software Update. I get the same error message when trying to remove either.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again,or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes.msi" in the box below.
Does anyone know how to remove these items or how to proceed from here?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Firefox disabled by flash plugin telling me to update to new version. I can't update to the lastest Adobe flash player 11, because it does not support Windows Vista 64-bit. So now what am I supposed to do?

I have Windows Vista 64-bit. I can't play on-line games on Pogo. I already contacted Pogo & they told me to update flash player. Firefox disabled by plugin for flash. I can't get the most updated Adobe flash player because it doesn't support 64-bit.

How can I sync a new Iphone 4s with an old 10.4.11 OS mac that can't update to the new version of itunes?

I have a Mac OS 10.4.11 that can't update to the newest version of Itunes. It does not recognize my new Iphone 4s. Is there other any way I can sync my phone? Apple support recommended that I update my Itunes from 9.2 to the new version but it won't install.

You cannot use an iPhone 4S with iTunes 9; you must have iTunes 10.5 or later, and that will indeed not run on Mac OS X 10.4. You'll need to upgrade your computer's OS to at least Mac OS X 10.5.8.
If, as Allan requested, you tell us your specific model of Mac, we can tell you what options you would have as regards compatible OS X versions.
Regards.

Hi
You need to upgrade to the next OS 10.6 Snow Leopard by purchasing the DVD online.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and once installed, use Software Update
- to update to 10.6.8
- and update your iTunes.

HT3825 I am running mac os x version 10.5.8 can I download Mountain Lion?

I am currently running mac os x version 10.5.8 can I download OS X Mountain Lion directly or do I have to go back and download snow leopard and lion before I can download Mountain lion?

http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade/
Snow Leopard is a requirement. Mountain Lion will only be offered via the App Store and the App Store requires 10.6.6 (at least).

I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 ,I want to buy the updated operating system that puts iMessage and Facetime on my Macbook Pro. What should I search for, and then purchase, in the App Store?

FaceTime can run in the version of OS X that you currently have. To get Messageyou need Mountain Lion. The protocol used by Messages is iMeassage.
The question is does your MBP meet the specs for Mountain Lion.
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)
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space

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.

Ask Samsung. They make the drivers for their devices.

I have iMac version 10.7.5 can i update to Mavericks 10.9.2 ?

I have iMac version 10.7.5 can i update to Mavericks 10.9.2 ?

Your MBP qualifies for the upgrade to OS X Mavericks.
It would be very prudent and highly advisable that you create a viable backup of your entire system and all your important data before embarking on a major systems upgrade.
Backup your entire system using an externally connected hard drive using a data cloning app such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to create an identical and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's system to an external hard drive.
This needs to be done in the event something unforeseen goes bad with the install or you simply do not like the new OS.
Failure to backup means a much more tedious, longer and arduous task and process to restore your Mac to its previous system and health if you decide there are too many issues that may or may not occur during the install or during general operation.
Good Luck!

I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version.

I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version. I am stuck in the beta. Itunes will not let me restore my iphone or update it. PLZ HELP ME

Wondering if you have a current Backup on iTunes ...if yes you could put the iPhone in DFU Mode by holding the Home button while you plug in the lightning cable. Then you could Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings on 8.0.2 and after a full Restore go back and then Restore from your Backup. This happens every time a public release occurs. Many folks on the Golden Master or otherwise in the AppleSeed program with a Beta version for some reason don't move to the official release ...then the software time-bomb hits and they can't upgrade.

HT2188 How can I update to the latest ios version on my ipod touch?

Check to see what model of iPod you have:

If you have a second-generation iPod, the last version of iOS it can run is iOS 4.2.1. If you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod touch, see:

I can't update to the latest version of iTunes - complains that iTunes10.7.dmg is corrupt?

I can't update to the latest version of iTunes - complains that iTunes10.7.dmg is corrupt?

Surely iTunes should be upgraded automatically? It always has in the past.
Typically a computer does not automatically update itself. This would be highly undesirable in my opinion. What if it was it started doing it just as you were going to do a presentation? I have never heard of iTunes automatically updating itself.
Why do I have to download it again?
You can let Software Update do this if you wish.
And why from the Apple website and not the itunes website?
What iTunes web site? The "iTunes website" is the Apple web site.
And if I do, wont I lose all my playlists, the info from my old phone etc.
No, you shouldn't but once a month somebody complains here than an update wiped their iTunes collection. Not sure I believe them since i don't see how it could do it, but you should always back up first.
I have just bought an iphone 5, delivered today, which wont sync with 10.6.3.
Correct. An iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7
When I try to upgrade via iTunes, it tells me that I have the latest version.
Maybe it is the latest version your computer can run with the operrating system version you are using.
At this point I am just going to say it is polite to leave this topic to answer the questions of the original poster (OP). You are facing a pretty different set of issues and you should start your own topic where we can focus on your issues and not get it all muddled up with the OP's.
