Need input on re-installing & upgrading OS X

I purchased a used MAC Pro:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 32 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version (system): 1.7f10
Serial Number (system): RM*****UQ2
Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-0017F201E35C
It's currently running on OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8. (This was installed by previous owner.) He erased, and formatted, but he used Snow Leopard instead of the original OS X Tiger that came with the original MAC Pro)
I didn't realize this until I purchased OS X Lion and now I can't redeem it, (Message: Code redemption temporarily unavailable. Please try later).
I do not have his copy of Snow Leopard.
Do I need to re-install OS X Tiger, Buy OS X Snow Leopard, and then be able to redeem my OS X Lion?
Or should I be able to redeem my purchased OS X Lion?
Thank you in advance.

You don't need to install Tiger in order to upgrade to Lion. If you have the redemption code just open the App Store and sign in with the Apple ID and password used to purchase the Lion redemption code. On the right of the App Store window is a Quick Links section. Click on the Redeem link. Enter or paste your redemption code in the field provided. Click on the Redeem button. If all goes well your download will begin. You can see its progress in the LaunchPad icon in your Dock. Or, if you click on the Purchases page in the App Store toolbar you will see a progress bar next to the Lion purchase entry.
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.

I am running 10.7.5 but when I try to install 10.8.2 I get an alert that says 10.8 is required first. Can't find a 10.8 system upgrade. What do I need to do to install Mountain Lion?

Tried to use Iphoto and was told I needed upgrade. Try to install upgrade . Upgrade should take an hour if photo library is large. It's now close to three hours and still upgrading. Can't use Iphoto and don't want to stop if still upgrading...3hours??

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

On my Ipad I seem to be having a problem when trying to play YouTube videos embedded on Facebook.
When I click the links, I get a message saying: "Flash Player upgrade required."
and under it, it says, "You need to download and install the lastes version of Adobe Flash Player to view this content"
and also a green button saying "Get Flash Player"
I get this if using chrome or safari .
I can go direct to YouTube it just works.

The Facebook link to the video is accessing an Adobe Flash video. Unfortunately, no iOS devices can play flash.

With CS5 upgrade installed, do I need to keep CS4 installed as well?

I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 by purchasing the "upgrade" package.
In my applications I now have CS4 and CS5 installed and they show as two separate applications.
What I would like to know is
1. Do I need to keep CS4 installed for CS5 to work, as it is only an "upgrade"?
2. When I buy a new computer, do I have to install CS4 on it before installing the "upgrade" version of CS5?
Many thanks for your help.

I must admit that comes as a bit of a surprise.
I had presumed that the "upgrade" version of CS5, being so much cheaper to buy than the full original, would check your hard drive to make sure you actually had bought a legal copy of CS4.
Does that mean there is no difference between the "upgrade" and the full price installation discs?
By the way, I know I'm old sometimes can't find something even when it's right under my nose, but is there a "LOG OUT" button anywhere on this forum?

Cs6 upgrade is installed, do I need to keep CS4 installed?

Stephen Roach III wrote:
I,m under the impression that CS4 must be installed on the machine for a 'upgrade to' version of CS6 to be successfully installed.
Is this assumption wrong?
No, but it's not essential since upgrades include the full program code. The serial number differentiates a full version from an upgrade.
If the CS6 ugrade installer cannot find an earlier qualifying version already installed, it will ask you to enter the serial number for an earlier qualifying version instead. You then enter an earlier version qualifying serial and the CS6 installer will continue.
When I'm installing (or reinstalling) Creative Suites where the latest version is an upgrade version, I only ever install the latest version - even if no Adobe software was previously installed on that particular computer.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard and the software says I need 5GB just to install?

I have a MAC OSX 10.5.8 and want to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I only have 2 GB of memory and the software says I need 5GB just to install. Do I really need that much more memory?

Apple recommends 2GB of RAM as an installation prerequisite for Maverick. At least half of this available memory will be consumed by Maverick while it is running. The remainder will not support very many concurrent applications, or open browser tabs, before exhausting available memory. The consequence is that your Mac will run slower than it should with Mavericks.
You be the judge. That early 2008 MBP can only expand to 6GB. I know, had one.

revert back to Maverick that is what I had to finally do. This was the worst upgrade I have ever seen. Hopefully you have Time Machine backup and can revert back. It was pretty painless except for a few issues. I will wait until Apple gets their stuff together on this upgrade or may never will.

I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

All,
A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
So happy to be done w/this one!
Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...

Need information on how to upgrade from 10.5.8 to make computer compatable to iphone upgrade of 11.5.1

hi everyone: I require some information on how to upgrade from 10.5.8 to make my mackbook pro compatable
with the iphone upgrade. Please note that I have gone thru the upgrades on this computer and it tells me there are
no new ones available...... I need to get my upgrade past the 11.5.1 level.....so do I need to purchase a new
upgrade program....and if so which one...as I have been thru the apple store and so far as i can tell
the ones that are listed such as maverik, lion and snow lepard are not high enough.
To anyone who replies, thankyou so much for taking the time to help me. It is truely appreciated.

11.1.5 is likely to be the version of iTunes you are being asked to run, not the version of Mac OS X.
To get a higher version of iTunes, you likely have to upgrade Mac OS X. All Roads lead through the 10.6 Upgrade, available as a physical DVD only, from the Apple Online store for about US$20:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
This is one of the most benign Upgrades Apple has ever issued. The size of the Operating System gets smaller, performance is slightly faster, and very few Applications are left behind. If you have some older PowerPC Applications, you may need to ask to install the Optional Rosetta emulator for PowerPC code when you install.
Once your 10.6 install is fully Updated to 10.6.8 using Software Update, the Mac App Store will appear, and future upgrades (if needed) will be handled through variations of online purchases.

I have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

i have three macs... Do I need to buy 3 separate upgrades for lion at $29.99?

No... Because it is distributed via the Mac App Store, it falls under the Mac App Store rules.. Which should mean that you can install it on up to 5 machines that you own.

Simply go ahead installing CS5.5. All you need is the CS3 serial number for verification.
