Need to update from MAC OS X server 10.4.11 to MAC mini server, any tips?

Hello I am having issues to migrate from a Mac OS x server version 10.4.11, processor 2GHZ PowerpcG5, to a brand new mac mini server running mavericks.
I been reading posts in the communities saying that I will need to get a snow leopard first(?) can I get MAC OS X snow leopard, or it needs to be MAC OS leopard server?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I do not know for certain, but what little experience I have with Server, my guess is that you'll have to get 10.6 Sever.
It's not available online, but might still be had by calling Apple & asking for... Part Number: MC588Z/A
Or, you might repost in one of these areas...

I need to update from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard

I need to update from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard, do I just buy Snow Leopard???

Yes! If your Mac meets the requirements:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'

HT1338 I did not obtain the free Snow Leopard DVD when it was offered and now need to update from MAC OS X version 10.5.8. What steps do I need to take?

I need help updating from Mac OS X 10.5.8 to iOS6.

Phone the online Apple Store and order it.

I need to update from 10.6.3

I need to update from 10.6.3. Do I need to update slowly from 10.6.4, 10.6.5 etc or can I update directly to 10.6.8?

No. Just download Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and install it.

I manage 60 ipads for a school using Apple Configurator. Need to update to iOS7 and AC1.4.3...Is it best to use Mountain Lion or Mavericks, as I also need to update from Lion 10.7 for the new AC and iOS to work properly.

I always run a Time Machine backup before updating anything and recommend you run a backup as well. Paid apps should migrate over without any problem. If you have problems with VPP codes not transfering over properly, you can talk to your Apple SE or contact VPP for Education support and they can help you. While I haven't experienced any problems with updating, its never a guarantee that others will have the same experience.
Good luck!

Will I need to update from Mountain Lion (10.8.4) to Mavericks prior to the Yosemite rollout this fall?

I am running Mountain Lion (10.8.4) currently. I rolled back to Mountain Lion from Mavericks back in October 2013 because I was having problems with it. However, I've heard there are improvements to Maverick since my initial install. My question is will I need to update from Mountain Lion to Maverick in order to update to Yosemite this fall? Thanks in advance.

If your goal is to install Yosemite upon its release, I doubt you will need to do it from Mavericks.
If Mountain Lion does not have features you need and Yosemite will, then, as WZZZ suggest, give Yosemite a chance to have any bugs worked out first.
If your concern is security, Mavericks is the current OS but Apple is still providing Security Updates for Lion, so Mountain Lion should still be good to go for a while yet.

TS3694 iOS 7.02 update made my iPad stay frozen on the appl logo. What's more, a factory update in DFU mode won't work either, I get error code 3194 - any tips on what I should do? It is an iPad2 on iOS 5 something, the one just before Apple removed You

If your notes sync with your icloud account, you can access them at www.icloud.com

When I purchased my Mac I bought it with "pages" and "iPhoto" and "iMovie" installed, but when i try to update it says that I need to update from another account, but I have only had one Apple account, what can I do?

When I purchased my Mac I bought it with Apps installed, when I go to update them, it says I need to update on a different Apple account. I have only ever had one Apple account, what can I do? The Apps are iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, and Keynote. Thanks for your help. Looking forward to suggestions.

Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
Follow the directions in this support article.
Step 2
Associate your Apple ID with your user account. Then sign in to the App Store with the same ID.
Step 3
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder may open with a file named "adoption.plist" selected. If it does, move the file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Log out, log back in, and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Contact Mac App Store Customer Service.

Need to update from Mac OSX 10.2.8...

I know, it's ancient... can I not just upgrade/update to v10.3.9 (mostly care so I can use an iPod w/iTunes)? Do I have to buy v10.3 (is this Panther or something?). Could this old OS be the reason I have such terrible luck with the internet (connecting sometimes, page loading, freezing...)? I know no one w/a mac to ask to help me, so it sits doing nothing... thanks! Maybe I should just give up.

Welcome To Discussions Christine!
Some information in addition to the previous great replies.
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
In addition to AppleRescue, if you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, such as Amazon, eBay, FastMac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade on them.
Additional info in these links.
Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
What's A Computer Specific Mac OS X Release
As previously posted, once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac does meet the Tiger System Requirements, and you consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
Download the Media Exchange Program Order Form Here.
Orders must be mailed by June 22, 2007.
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

I need to update from Mac OS X 10.5.8 to 10.7

I need to update my software. I bought a new Iphone5 and need itunes 7, but need to update software before I can do that. Is it possible to jump from Leopard to to Lion?

No; you need to be running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer to install Lion. Since iTunes 10.7 requires 10.6.8 and that's also a free download for people running Mac OS X 10.6, get a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, and unless you have another reason to upgrade the computer's OS past 10.6.8, don't bother.
