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
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • I've installed bootcamp 4.0 on my iMac 27. Everything works superb, but for playing need for speed run or battlefield 3 I need catalyst driver 11.7 or higher. How can I update my graphics? Is there a possibility except waiting for a new bootcamp version?

    But how do you install the drivers if Bootcamp is running interference?
    Bottom line, I'ev tried to install three different versions of updated ATI driver sover the last few momnths and on each and every occassion have ended up with the original Bootcamp driver. A number of current games are unplayable on a Mac running Bootcamp as a result.
    And if I can't run the software I want, then Bootcamp is as useless as boobs on a bull.

  • HT1338 i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6

    i have macbook air 13.3 1.6 ghz intel core 2 duo and 10.5.8. how can i update 10.6 pls help me

    ok but i have mac os x.
    I'll explain the numbering system for you.
    With the operating systems numbering format it works as this: for example with 10.5.8, the first number is redundant because they are all 10 since 2001. This is the X in OS X
    The second number is the upgrade version, which have cat names attached to them. 10.5 is Leopard. Each of these upgrade names must be purchased.  If you want 10.6 (Snow Leopard) you need to buy it,
    The last number is the update version, which is free, but requires the upgrade before you can install it.
    So, you currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and you ask how to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, and I have given you the link of how buy it.
    so do i must change mac os x (10.5) to snow-leopard.
    The choice is yours. You do not have to upgrade if you do not wish to.

  • How can i update data in JTable at run time ?

    i am trying to build a client/server architecture for conducting quizzes & online tests.. My client will return a object to the server after the test is over, which contains details about the participant, his score and other details. i am putting the incoming object to an Vector. I'll create a new thread each time for the incoming connection and insert the object to the Vector.. Now, please tell me tat, how can i update my table automatically at run time so tat, my table is updated whenever a new object is entered into vector..
    here is my code for the table..
    public class MyTableModel extends AbstractTableModel {
        String columNames[] = { "ID", "NAME", "COLLEGE", "SCORE", "CELL" };
        /** Creates a new instance of MyTableModel */
        public MyTableModel() {
            Main.List = new Vector();
            SetDefaultData();
        public int getRowCount() {
            return Main.List == null ? 0 : Main.List.size();
        public int getColumnCount() {
            return columNames.length;

            Main.List.addElement(new Student("CS013","Mangal S","MNM",5,"9841961742"));
    }

    In the future Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.

    updated whenever a new object is entered into vector..You don't update the Vector directly. You should be creating a method in your TableModel, called "addRow(...)". This method will do two things:
    a) add the Student object to the Vector
    b) invoke the fireTableRowsInserted(..) method of AbstractTableModel. This will cause the table to be repainted.

  • How can i update my old 2006 iMac Intel core 2 duo running 10.6.8 to OSX Lion so that I can sync using iCloud with my newer devices?  Mountain Lion is not an option for my older model and Lion is no longer available at App store.

    HOW CAN I RESTORE AND GET MY CONTACTS BACK.

    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

    I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
    If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

    I had the same problem with my 1st gen iPod touch and I tried a couple times to update it but sadly you can't because the software on the 1st gens can't support a higher iOS.

    iPad 1's can only be updated to IOS 5.1.1. The iPad 1 doesn't have the processing power to handle any higher.

    Hi
    In the first instance, I'd use Onyx and run through its sequence of maintenance and tune up tools:
    Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning.
    I'd also reset the SMC and PRAM (Google them)
    If that doesn't help then I'd look at System Preferences.. > Accounts > Login Items tab (not Login Options).  Check what processes get started at login and decide which ones you don't want.
    After that I'd use Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a lot of computer power or if anything else nasty might be happening.
    If none of this helped then my final step would be to reinstall OS X.
