Need to update from v.10.5.8... how?

Despite checking for software updates, I am told that there are no updates needed, even though my Snow Leopard is version 10.5.8.  I see I need v.10.6.8 to get Lion.  How do I make up all this lost ground?

By purchasing and installing 10.6 or waiting for the 10.7 flash drives to become available.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

    To update
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
    iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
    A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later

    . Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1

    IP routing doesn't work the way many folks might initially think it does; functional IP routing requires manual configuration and the establishment of static routes and default routes specific to the local network configurations, and it's very easy to get it wrong, or to get the default route swapped. Multiple NIC boxes don't magically work, either. (Been there, done that, wondered what happened to my network when the paths got reordered or my route settings were messed up, etc.)
    Routing configuration errors can be quite subtle, too. (Again, voice of experience. Ever had a thousand-seat office LAN accidentally routing through your desktop? As the, um, unnamed guilty party discovered, getting into that configuration was subtle. Seeing the performance crater on the fellow's box and on the LAN was obvious.)
    Knowing how IP routing works is a prerequisite to getting this configuration to work; there's manual configuration required. Clearly something has gone weird here.
    What to do? Read up on IP routing. I'll again suggest the threads and the manual mentioned earlier.
    And in general, I prefer to avoid using my comparatively expensive Mac boxes as sub-optimal IP routers or as firewall boxes. General-purpose operating systems and generic x86 boxes are going to be inherently poor IP routers. Dedicated routers (or embedded or surplus x86 boxes with routing software loaded) offload the Mac boxes here, and are also typically easier to configure manage. And "real" IP routers can have hardware specific to efficiently routing packets. Use of an outboard firewall or firewall-router box also greatly simplifies gateway routing, too; it's a configuration that many folks and many businesses tend to use.

  • HT201269 I am setting up an iPhone 5. I selected "set up as a new phone" but now need to restore from iTunes back up. How do I access the appropriate screen in the iPhone 5 which I am setting up?

    I am setting up an iPhone 5. I selected "set up as a new phone" but now need to restore from iTunes back up. How do I access the appropriate screen in the iPhone 5 which I am setting up?

    The phone answered this for me - when I connected the iPhone5 to my computer it gave me a choice which included "restore from backup". Problem solved

    OS X 10.9.1 (13B42) to be exact
    it says on my mbp that i need to install latest pages software.

    it says i can download
    OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
    again though???
    now it got deleted !!!! i guess from trying to open with pages v4.3 on this mbp? kinda bad, but thankfully i did a workaround to save it elsewhere, < I don't like going backwards much >
    also i suppose that i will need to update numbers from v2.3 to v3.1 latest
    i just spent a bunch to upgrade my ssd to 500gb and my ram to 8gb so that all this would jive because thats what these sneaky updates do now.
    im not real impressed with these MS tactics by apple. justifiably ******.

    do i need to incrementally update to get to the latest? does apple need another $19.99?

    okay after reading abit more i realized that i was clicking the OLD grey cup & saucer icon on my dock.
    so i went into finder then found the NEW yellow note & pen icon.
    all better now  thank me and support posts n apple n peace n love

  • 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.

  • HT4623 My acct says I need to update iTunes to new version. How?  From my phone? I already have the 6.0 update for phone. But it says I need iTunes update

    When I log into my PC to update my acct it says I cannot due to I need to update my iTunes version on my iPhone.  How!

    It's talking about iTunes. The program that runs on your computer. Not iOS, the operating system on your phone.
    On your computer, go to http://www.apple.com/itunes
    Download and install version 10.7. It is required to sync with iOS 6.

  • I have updated from IPhone 4 to IPhone4S - how can I move my contacts from one to another?

    I have updated from IPhone 4 to Iphone 4S - how can I move my contacts from previous phone to IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Sync your iPhone 4S with the same address book app on your computer as you were syncing the iPhone 4 with.

  • School issued iPad--message that iPad is controlled by another computer.  I need to sync from my home computer.  How would I do this?

    school issued iPad2 is controlled by another computer.  I have to download from my home computer.  How do I make this happen?

    An iPad is designed to sync or connect with only one computer. Your schoool issue iPad was set up using a school computer most likely and that is the one that will sync wi the pad. Attempting to supync with a different computer will create problems. I suggest not doing that.
    I see two solutions,
    1. Email the docs you need to transfer from your computer to the email account that is on your iPad.
    2. Copy the material from your computer and transfer that to the schools computer. Check with your Information Tech person at your school to see what might be best.
