You can upgrade to Mountain Lion v10.8 if your Mac meets the requirements.
Click here > Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
There's no steadfast rule that states you have to upgrade OS X.
What are you doing that generates an error ??

Control-Shift-W activates Snow Leopard-Like exposé for all windows. Can this be disabled/changed?
Running Mac OS X 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air, Control-Shift-W produces a Snow Leopard-like expose for all windows.
While useful, this keyboard shortcut is wreaking havoc with my BBEdit settings. (Control-Shift-W is used to toggle "Selected text only" in the "Find" window.)
Does anyone know a way to alter or disable this system shortcut? I haven't been able to find any information regarding this shortcut and I fear I may have altered an underlying property (using "defaults write…" at the command line) and I don't know how to revert what I (may) have done.
Thanks in advance.I suspect that it's busy trying to mount a network file system of some type.

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

Not if you have a PPC machine. In that case your are at the limit. But if you have an Intel model:
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
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 Mountain Lion 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.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

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.

i have a 2006 imac i just brought back from the dead when i try to install snow leopard it says i can't on this computer why not
There is your problem. DVDs that ship with a Mac are machine specific. You will need to purchase a retail copy of the DVD $29.

i have Apple Macbook 13" (MB062LL/A) 2.16ghz 3gb Ram 500gb Hd Snow Leopard 10.6.8 can i upgrade to Mavericks?
I believe not - Mavericks requires a 2008 Aluminum or later.
I believe the highest yours can go is Lion (10.7) - personally, I'd stick with Snow Leopard because you'd also need more RAM (4 GB would be minimum, more is much better).

My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer wireless
My mac snow leopard 10.6.8 can not find my 3050a printer even though i have added the printer bonjour to my print list, even though the blue and white light s are on on the printer panel.
I have good signal strength
the printer ip is 192.168.1.8
HelpOK, using these instructions: https://www.broadbandadvice.org.uk/Website/Routers/HG532.htm change the channel to 11.
Now, if and when the printer is connected with a vaild IP address, let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Just updated from snow leopard to yosemite and can't open or update iPhoto
Just updated from snow leopard to yosemite and can't use or update iPhoto- help??
i tried to download the free iPhoto 9.6 app but i can't.
Where did you try to download that? This looks like you tried to download an updater.
Move iPhoto.app from your applications folder to the Trash.
Launch the App Store.
Sign in with your AppleID in the Store menu.
Click the first tab "Featured" and enter iphoto into the search field. Hit the "Return/Enter" key.
You should be seeing something similar to this:
If you see iPhoto, download it. -

I have a Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.66. Can I download Candy Crush onto my Mac?
You can use the Facebook version that runs on Adobe Flash. I would upgrade to the free update of Mac OS X 10.6.8 to get the latest Adobe Flash from http://www.adobe.com/
According to Wikipedia there is no version independent of Facebook or phone operating systems as of yet. If you can find one, that would be something you might want to contribute to:

10.6.8 is found here:

I have a 2007 MacBook 2GHz intel core 2 duo and i want to update to either snow leopard or lion what can ido if i have 10.4 already. please help
You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/ I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. The price is $19.99.
You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.
