    Hello,
    You need to get 10.6 & update to 10.6.8 first to be able to buy it from the App Store & download it.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

    It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!
    Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE
    You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8

  • When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.

    When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.  I have ensured that Time Machine is turned off.  Upon some Google research, some who reported this problem were told to delete the folder backup.backupdb, but I do not have this folder on my Mac.  Any suggestions?

    The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
    If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing.

  • How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes?

    How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes? The previous version had a 'photos' function in top right of the home screen but this has disappeared from the current version (Dec'12).

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you can re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (control-S), which should make it look similar to how it used to look - if you then select the iPad on that sidebar do you then get a Photos tab on the right-hand side ?

  • I have Creative Suite 5, if I upgrade my mac from 10.6.8 os X to the latest software (I think there is an auto update to snowleopard) will this effect my adobe software?

    I have Creative Suite 5, if I upgrade my mac from 10.6.8 os X to the latest software (I think there is an auto update to snowleopard) will this effect my adobe software?
    Or what is involved if I pay for an upgrade?

    Deactivate the software and then reinstall it after the OSX update.

  • I have a new iPhone 4 which I cannot sync until I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes software (10.2.2).  Upon trying to upgrade, I keep receiving a message which states, "The URL could not be opened."  Anyone have a solution to this problem?

    I have a new iPhone 4 which I cannot sync until I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes software (version 10.2.2).  Upon trying to upgrade, I keep receiving a message which states, "The URL could not be opened."  Anyone else had the same problem & does anyone have a solution?  Would like to try other easier option(s) before uninstalling & installing newest version. 

    You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • I have upgraded twice but home page still says "your not using the latest version. Upgrade now"

    When I open Firefox and the home page comes up it tells me that i am not using the latest version and should upgrade. I also run into a stop scrip issue when I go to clear the history. It usually takes three tries to clear the history.

    I would have to guess that your home page is pointing to one of the what's new pages from a previous Firefox release. Nothing to be concerned with here. You can change your home page to point wherever you'd like by clicking Preferences/Options->General and changing the home page option.
    For the stop script history issue, do you know what web page is causing the issue?

  • I have an older iMac G5 OSX 10.4.11      What is the latest version of Safari available for this machine?

    I have an older iMac G5  OSX 10.4.11.   I currently have Safari 4.1.3 and I am being told by some of the web sites I use that they no longer support that version of Safari. What is the latest update I can get and how?

    TenFourFox -- It's a port of the latest FireFox to run on older hardware and software.
    "World's most advanced web browser. Finely tuned for the Power PC."
        --  works for me on 10.4.  Supports 10.5
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    alternative download site:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/37761/tenfourfox
    Turn on pipelining.  This will allow Firefox to make simaltaneous requests to the server.  Chrome has pipeling turned on. Some sites could fail to load with pipeling set on. The site will be old. See "Increase pipelining" in:

    OmniWeb uses the lastest Safari framework.  The open source WebKit. Other browsers like Safari and iCab use the OS version of WebKit.  The OmniWeb downloaded dmg includes it's own copy of the latest WebKit.

  • HT1414 How do I get apps that require iOS 5 on my Iphone 4S with the latest version of 6.0.1 currently installed on it?  I cannot install many of the apps I want to use and am not sure what to do.  Thank you.

    I am not very good at navigating the Iphone so please be patient.  I have an Iphone 4S with the latest 6.0.1 and I would like to be able to download some of the apps that require iOS 5 on my iphone.  How do I do that.  When I look for the iOS 5 update it is no longer available.  I found that it is supposed to be available on Itunes.  I have not found it on Itunes.  All help is appreciated.  Thank you.

    Well, no. It's because that the iPod 4th Gen has iOS 6 and the apps need iOS 7. I suggest that you get the new iPod 5 because it has iOS 7. Also the iPod 4 does not have enough CPU or RAM. The new iPod 5 has enough CPU and RAM to store iOS 7 apps.
    Thanks!

    thanks

    Copy your entire iTunes folder from your old computer to your new one using one of the methods outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527.  Also copy any synced information that is not in your iTune library from your old computer to your new one (such as contacts, calendars, any synced photos, etc.).
    If you can't do this then used this guide to avoide data loss: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141..

  • Upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to the latest version

    I purchased few years ago Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and enjoying it since.
    Recently I purchased a new camcorder outputing MP4 and AVCHD video formats which cannot be read by Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5.
    What are my options?
    Is there a path to upgrade from Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 to a version which can read MP4 and AVCHD video formats?
    Philippe

    There are two solutions for you and neither of them offer any discount for already having version 1.5 since it was released over 10 years ago.
    You can atill purchase Premiere Pro CS6 (which will never, ever, be upgraded) and have it for a one time price, or, you can simply subscribe to the Creative Clould and get the latest and greatest Premiere Pro CC.
    To sign up for one product is $19.99 per month, and to sign up for all of them is $49.99 per month. That is just about every Adobe program from Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, all the way through to Acrobat Pro.

  • When I try to upgrade to 2.0 it says 1.1.4 is the latest version???

    What is going on? I've been trying to upgrade to 2.0 for days and every time I sync my original iPhone with the most recent version of iTunes I get this message saying that version 1.1.4 is still the latest available version??? I don't understand. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Do you have iTunes 7.7 and 10.4.11? They are required.

  • I have MACOSX 10.5.8 and Firefox says I do not have the latest software. Even if I don't , Im currently using Firefox 3.5.4 and would like a newer version. Basically how do I download the latest version of Firefox for my computer? Thanks

    I am using a PowerBook and have recently upgraded to 10.5.8 and would like to get the latest version of Firefox I can. However, FF's home page says 'unfortunately the latest version of FF is not compatible'. But when I look at the requirements it seems that mine should fit. Basically, what is the latest version of FF I can get and how do I find it to download.
    Thanks

    Right now I am trying to reinstall Firefox which was somehow deleted and I keep getting the message that I can not use the new version I have downloaded. I have a power PC G5 and Mac OSX10.5.8. This is frustrating. What do I do?

  • How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion?

    How do I upgrade my iMac from OSX10.5.8 to Mountain Lion? I'm guessing I have to first purchase Snow Leopard? Is there anyway to download or upgrade online?

    First, determine how high you can upgrade.
    SL requires an Intel processor and 1 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
    Lion requires Core2Duo processor and 2 GB RAM, though more RAM is better.
    Mountain Lion has higher requirements: http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    Also review applications that do not work under Lion or ML to see if you will lose critical functionality: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Research first, as too many have discovered only after the upgrade that things are lost to them.
    You can buy SL or Lion from 1-800-MY-APPLE.  SL is a disk ($19 single disk license, $29 for 5-user license).  Lion will be a $19 download code to use in App Store that you get with SL.
