My operating system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8. How do I upgrade to Maverick?

Back up your data, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading it; this won't be allowed on an incompatible machine. It doesn't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004.

  • I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

    I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?

    Hi spiritentrep,
    What Adobe software are you referring to? Are you using Acrobat? You should have no problems running Acrobat XI on Yosemite, and as along as you have compatible scanner drivers for your Epson, you should be fine there as well.
    Best,

  • How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.

    How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.

    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

    When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

  • My operating system is Snow Leopard Version 10.6.8.  I moved files in Adobe Bridge, how do I sinc to Finder?

    My operating system is Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.8.  I rearranged files in Adobe Bridge, how do I sinc my Finder?

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
    To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

  • HT3500 I upgraded my operating system to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now my Lexmark X4875 will not print wirelessly and neither Apple, Lexmark or Belkin can work out why. Has anyone else experienced this and knows what to do? Thanks

  • Cannot get turbotax 2013 to load (my operating system is snow leopard, 64bit)

    Cannot get turbotax 2013 to load (my operating system is snow leopard, 64bit) Disk at first sounds like it is loading, then kind of grinds around and comes to a stop. Installed apple software updates for itunes, just before trying to load turbotax, could that have any effect on my disc drive?

    put in another cd/dvd and see if it makes the same noise.  if so, your superdrive may be damaged.

  • I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Can I skip Lion and upgrade to Mavericks?

    I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Can I skip Lion and upgrade to Mavericks?

    Yes, if your computer is compatible with Mavericks.

  • How do I restore my operating system from Snow Leopard back to Mountain Lion on line after erasing my hard drive?

    I had to erase my hard drive.  I loaded Snow Leopard with the disk I got with my computer, but I purchased Mountain Lion several months ago and don't have support any longer.  How do I get back to the Mountain Lion operating system, on line?

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    You must perform the last step - updating to 10.6.8. Until then you have no access to the App Store. When you can sign into the App Store using the same Apple ID with which your purchased Mountain Lion, click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. Locate your Mountain Lion purchase line then click on the Install button on the right to re-download.

  • Recently i upgraded my operating system from snow leopard to mavericks.  no my adobe creative suite 4 programs do not launch. it gives me an error code of 150.30 which has to do with licensing.  I tried to download adobe license repair app but

    Recently I upgraded from snow leopard to Mavericks . Since the upgrade my Adobe Creative Suite 4 will not launch any programs. I downloaded adobe license recovery it says " this program is no longer supported " .
    At this point I am ready to go back to snow leopard if that will fix the problem.   What do I do ?

    A long thread with some fixes for various problems including licenseing, it may help.

  • I have a mac book 10.6.8 that has been upgraded to Snow Leopard (latest version.) How can I upgrade to mountain lion with 1GB of memory? When I go to buy it, it says that it's not compatible with my Mac but my Mac has all of the qualifications.

    If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it. I just bought the iphone 5 and recieved the new nano as a birthday gift and now I'm up a creek without a paddle b/c I can't plug them into my laptop without the new itunes that runs on Mountain Lion.
    Please help, I'm not very tech savvy.

    You don't need anything higher than OSX 10.6.8 to run iTunes 11.  iTunes system requirements - http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can't upgrade without more RAM.
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."

  • HT5381 I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and attempting to upgrade to Mavericks....installation completes and a message appears stating that my computer will restart in x seconds.  I then get a message "Application install OS X Mavericks failed to quit". A

    IMac upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks errors by failing to restart computer........after install message states that "your computer is restarting in x seconds"...then window appears that "application install OS x Mavericks failed to quit"...try to log out again, quit install OS x Mavericks and choose apple menu to log out...........this does not work!

    Are you running OS X Server (the forum this question was posted in), or are you running OS X?  If you're not sure what that difference is and why I'm asking it, then you're probably running OS X and are very likely not running OS X Server here.
    Hopefully you have a pre-upgrade backup of your data, on the off chance something has either already gone badly wrong already, or if something goes wrong with the following...
    To force the quit here and to force the shutdown here, press and hold the power button for ~10 seconds.
    If you don't have a backup already and if the box doesn't reboot, then you'll want to boot from the 10.6 DVD (of OS X or OS X Server) and create a backup — it won't be a particularly good backup of the OS X or OS X Server system, but at least you'll have access to your own files and related data.  This backup because recovering from a badly-failed upgrade might involve reinstalling OS X.

  • My imac is currently running on Snow Leopard 10.6.3 How do I upgrade to install Mountain Lion?

    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Then make sure you meet the requirements for Mt Lion:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Now that being said, the 2GB RAM requirement will not leave you with a smoothly running system. Max out your RAM that your system can handle (more than 8 GB would be up to you) . Older Applications may no longer supported. No Power PC apps are supported past !0.6.8. Many other Apps will need to be updated or upgraded.

  • How do I erase the data from a partioned hard drive.  I've already erased trhe bootcamp drive but I can't erase OSX.  The operating system is Snow Leopard.

    How do I securely erase all the data from my hard drive (it has a bootcamp partion which I succesfully erased).  I'm giving my Macbook Pro to my daughter but I want all the data securely gone before I give it to her. Disk Utilities does not allow me to start the erasing process.

    You can not erase a drive you are using to boot and run the computer.
    You have to boot the computer from a CD/DVD disc, thumb drive or external drive that contains the files need to start the computer and has the Disk Utility program on it.
    Tha would be the original system Discs that came with your computer or a CD/DVD disc, external drive or thumb drive you specifically made to do this.
