Snow Leopard clock problem Trying to upgrade to Mavericks

I have a class set of 28 mac books that I am trying to upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopard. All have the hardware to run the OS. The problem I am having is all the computers have clocks that are incorrect by a few minutes either way, and I cannot get them to talk to the app store. What can I do to get this problem solved? (By the way, our district network is designed and run by mac-hating PC nazis, so I am going to try this at home tonight).

Thanks. I'm going to do that. The intersting thing... I brought one of my student computers home and had ZERO problems upgrading here. I have my external drive that I use for re-imaging the machines in the summer, so the plan is to load Mavericks on it at home, then add it to all of the school machines from the drive.
Thanks for your help.

Assuming your computer has the minimum system requirements yes, upgrade to 10.6.8 and then open the Mac App Store and upgrade to Mavericks. You can only get SL 10.6.x from Apple's online store, it is $20. Prior to upgrading to 10.6.x get an external HD and use a utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper and make a bootable clone of your system to safeguard all of your valuable data. In the event you have a problem the backup will be invaluable!!!!!
Considering your computer is at best a 2007 iMac I would STRONGLY recommend upgrading your RAM to 6GB, the maximum a 2007 machine can accommodate. You can buy this from either Crucial or OWC (www.macsales.com).
Another option is due to the age of your computer is considering buying a newer machine.

If your Mac's compatible with Yosemite, you can upgrade directly to it.

How do I upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard in the attempt to upgrade to Mavericks?

Upgrading to Snow Leopard on my desktop iMac? I eventually want to go up to Mavericks.

Assuming your system is able to run Mavericks, you will need to buy the Snow Leopard upgrade DVD directly from Apple. It is available on their on-line store, for example if you are in the US the link would be:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Once you have SL installed download and install SL Update Combo located at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1399
which will get you to the most current verison of SL. Next run Sotware Update and install recommended updates. Once you have done these steps then you can download Mavericks and install.
Remember if you have any apps that are PPC based they will not run in Mavericks, you will need to upgrade or replace them.
Remember to have a solid backup of your system prior to updating. And it is recommended to have 4GB or more of RAM installed.

Please google search for "Mountain Lion disk crash" before upgrading you mac pro. You might need to replace you Mac hard drive after the upgrade.So many people had the same problems including me.
Be aware of the Mountain Lion upgrade problem.

I am trying to get my system current. I am now running Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 (I believe this is "Snow Leopard"). What should I upgrade to?

The current system is OS X 10.8 which is downloadable from the App store, which you can upgrade to directly if your system meets the system requirements. Note that starting with OS X 10.7, PowerPC-based programs will no longer run. So, for example, people with Office 2004 got surprised when they upgraded and found that the older Office programs would no longer run. Newer Office programs are OK.

Trying to upgrade to Maverick but my disk has Time Machine backup so it cant and will not intall. How do I get around this problem?

I have a 13-inch MacBook Mid-2009 running on IOS X Lion and am trying to upgrade to Mavericks but after the download and starting installation the point where you choose which disk to use it says my hard drive is being used for Time Machine backups so it can not be used. I have turned off the Time Machine but do not know how to remove the backups from the hard drive. What do I do to get rid of the Time Machine backups I no longer actually need and install Mavericks? I have moved all my files to a separate terabyte hard drive but that drive does not have the GUID partition scheme to be used for installation. So I am stuck with one internal hard drive I cant use due to Time Machine and an external hard drive I cant use due to this GUID partition problem. How can I work around this and finally upgrade to Mavericks?

Problems trying to upgrade from Solaris 10 update 4 to update 8

Hello,
I am having problems trying to upgrade a system from update 4 to update 8. I have broken all the mirrors and everything is now setup off of one disk, yet I do not get the upgrade option when I boot from the CDROM. Anybody have any ideas?
It is a pretty basic system and I do not understand why it will not let me upgrade.
Thanks for your help,
Gary

If you boot your system from the CD-Rom, you can test its upgradability by performing the following steps:
create a file named for example /tmp/pf_profile, which contains:
install_type upgrade
root_device /dev/dsk/<your root slice>The run the pfinstall program on it:
/usr/sbin/install.d/pfinstall -D /tmp/pf_profile
.. with a bit of luck that should validate your installation and report any potential problems which might cause this.
Also, have you had a look on the following thread?

I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

Need Snow Leopard (in 2013), to then upgrade further. How to get it?

I have Leopard (10.5.8), from 2009. I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard in order to then upgrade to Lion, then Mountain Lion. How can I get / access / purchase / download / install Snow Leopard today, in 2013?
I live in Switzerland (nearly 3 hours away from the nearest Apple Store). I no longer have any guarantee or warranty so cannot get telephone advice without paying a lot. Looking forward to hear your suggestions!

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
You should now see the App Store icon, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

System Preferences > Network > Ethernet? If that shows "not connected" that is all your Mac knows. As far as it is concerned there is no cable connected to the port on your Mac, or the other end of the cable is either disconnected or connected to something that is broken.
Try another cable. If the cable is broken you will also get that status message. If you have exhausted all of these possibilities, the only remaining cause is an inoperative port on your Mac.

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, the computer's also incompatible with Mountain Lion and Mavericks; if desired, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.
