My school computer shows version 10.6.8 is this snow leopard, other students claim it is mountain lion
my school computer shows version 10.6.8 is this snow leopard, other students claim it is mountain lion
The students are incorrect, 10.6.8 was the last version of Snow Leopard released before v10.7 Lion. Mountain Lion starts at 10.8.
Hope that helps!

My computer I Mac is 10.6.5 I think but the issue was when I update it ask me for version 10.8.5 that was mountain lion wich I bought it for 19.99 Iand know is not working it had a gray screen with spinning wheel I have snow leopard on my iMac I bought mountin lion know the screen I grey I can't do nothing I reboots don't work I inserted the cd for my I Mac don't work can't do nothing I can't remove the cd can someone help me .
To get the CD to eject, hold down the mouse, or if you use it, trackpad, button while you reboot ... keep holding the button down until it ejects. If that doesn't work, this Apple note has some other steps.
See this Apple note on steps to take to deal with the grey screen.
Your iMac needs to be mid-2007 or newer with 2GB minimum memory (4GB+ is recommended) and 8GB or more of available disk space. You also should be at OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to access the App store and install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. -
I M TRYING TO INSTALL MOUNTAIN LION BUT THE SITE SAYS I HAVE TO HAVE SNOW LEOPARD FIRST. I CAN'T FIND THE DOWNLOAD FOR
. CAN YOU HELP?There are several ways around this. You can go to on Amazon and buy snow leopard. Update to 10.6.8. Then use The App Store that comes on 10.6.8 and upgrade to 10.8.
This is assuming you have a iMac that can go to 10.8.
Note. You are posting in the wrong forum. You should be posting this in Mountain Lion, not OS X Server.
Other way around it is, if you have another computer that is on 10.6.8, download 10.8. Extra the disk image out from the Installation o mountain lion. Clone image to a USB flash drive.
Do a full backup of 10.5.8 to external HD such as a clone of it. Then boot up with the USB drive on 10.8. Format the internal HD. Then install 10.8 on it. transfer data back with migration tool after you boot back up.
The easiest way would be just getting 10.6 DVD
Good Luck -

Mac OS X 10.4.x - "Tiger"
Mac OS X 10.5.x - "Leopard"
Mac OS X 10.6.x - "Snow Leopard"
OS X 10.7.x - "Lion"
OS X 10.8.x - "Mountain Lion"

im pretty sure i have a very old software version for my macbook pro, how do i buy or download os x mountain lion or snow leopard?sof
Make sure you read the system requirements. Also install Rosetta if you want Power PC applications to run.
Snow Leopard Purchase
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
Application Compatibility
Applications Compatibility (2)
Do a backup before installing. -
Hi, I have a mac book pro running mavericks and recently tried to connect to a 3rd gen apple tv but the airplay icon is not showing up in the top bar. I then tried my girlfriends laptop running mountain lion and it showed up straight away. Any suggestions?
How old is the MacBook Pro? AirPlay is only supported on 2011 and newer models, due to the requirements it has in hardware for graphics acceleration.

How do I find out if my Mac OS x version 10.6.8 has enough memory space for me to down load Mountain Lion?
You need to know 2 things
Ram, you need a minimum of 2GB, but 4GB (or more) is recommended.
HDD, you need a minimum of 20GB of hard disk space (including space for operation)
So.
Go to Apple>About this Mac and you will be able to see the amount of Ram installed.
Then select your hard drive (in Finder>Sidebar, usually called MacintoshHD) and click cmd-i (Command key and the letter I) look for capacity and available, post the results here. -
I have an iMac with version 10.5.8 Mac OS X, can i upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion S X from the Apple web page.
When I tried, it said I had to have 10.6 or later............how do I get there?No. You need to phone the online Apple Store and order Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD.

My imac is running software version OS X 10.6.8. Do I need to ugrade to Snow Leopard before I a can upgrade to Lion?
Mac OS X 10.6.8 is Snow Leopard. If you can't or don't want to upgrade your Mac to Mountain Lion and it has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU, phone the Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.

You'll have to purchase, install and update Snow Leopard from the Apple Store to get the App Store application.
Mountain Lion is only sold via the App Store. -

I purchased Pages on the App store a while back and I can't get it any more on my computer.
I have an early 2006 MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8, which is the highest it would go to, and it isn't compatible with the new Pages version. How can I get an old version?
ThanksJust wanted to spare you the details. I bought the app on a newer MacBook Pro a few years ago, which I no longer use. I upgraded my old MacBook Pro to Snow Leopard so that I can have the App store. So, the situation now is that I can't have a higher version of Mac OS X, and the only available versions of Pages and Numbers on the App store are ones that are compatible with 10.9 or higher. Therefore, I am trying to find a way to access older versions that I can use...
