How can I update Mac 0S X 10.6.8 to 10.7

How can I update from Mac0S X 10.6.8 to 10.7

youwin,
you can order Lion (Mac OS X 10.7) from the online Apple store for your country; for example, if you’re in the USA, you can order it from here. Once you’ve received the content code for Lion via e-mail, you’ll be able to download the Lion installer through the Mac App Store, and running the Lion installer will update you from Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.8) to Lion.
Note that you can update directly from Snow Leopard to either Lion, Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8), or Mavericks (OS X 10.9); Mavericks is the only one of these three which is gratis.

How can I update mac 10.6.8 to Yosemite?

I have never update my macbook mac os and now i have to download the new version of itunes and i cannot open it because i have to update mac os, but i dont know to update mac os 10.6.8 to Yosemite

Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, 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.

TA48312 How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?

How can i update my osx software from my emac from osx 10.3 to the highest available software for an emac?
I have osx 10.3.x and i want to update to the highest possible. Please help!!!!! i cant find the download. And i dont want to lose any data!!

Depending upon the specific model you have you can upgrade to either 10.4.x or 10.5.x. Neither are available from Apple any longer, so you will need to look to eBay or Amazon for copies. Be sure to only purchase retail copies and not gray labled machine-specific copies.
If your eMac came with 10.3 originally and has a clock speed of 1 GHz or higher, then you can install Leopard, 10.5.x.
If you don't want to lose data then make backups.

How do I update Mac OS X Leopard v10.5?

Is there a way to update Mac OS X Leopard v10.5 on my old MacBook? When I check for new software, it says there are no updates available. The updates available online require 10.6 or better.

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 Mavericks 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 Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         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?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. 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.

TA48312 How can I download Mac OSX 10.6 snow leopard

Hi ,
I use to Mac OS X v10.5.8 but I want to update to my MacBook and I need to Mac OSX v10.6 snow leopard... ???

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Mac OS X Snow Leopard is not free. It can be purchased in a DVD at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Before upgrading, make a backup of your files onto an external drive with Time Machine. After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you will be able to install iTunes 11.1.4.
If you want to upgrade to OS X Mavericks, see > http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade

HT4561 How do I update MAC OS X 5?

I have a Mac OS 5.8 which has slowed down to a near stand still and will not let me update programmes. I have tried to find the correct system without success. Does anyone know how and where to find an update for snow leopard?
Thanks very much

Snow Leopard is not an update - it's a system upgrade. The DVD is no longer available in the online Apple store or the High Street stores.
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
Mac requirements for SL;
Mac computer with an Intel Processor (SL will not run on G-series processors)
Minimum 1GB of RAM (2 or more advisable)
5GB free HD space.
DVD drive for installation.
When you've installed SL it will be 10.6.3. You need to update that to 10.6.8 with the combo installer from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
However, if your Mac is running slow and won't accept application updates, you need to address that problem first. Upgrading won't fix it (unless you completely erase Macintosh HD prior to installation).
It sounds like your HD may be full - how much free space do you have?
Look at the bottom of an open Finder Window where it says "xx items, xxGB available". If that available figure is under 10GB you may start to experience slowdown; if it's under 5GB you're getting perilously close to not booting at all.

HT1338 How do I update Mac OS X 10.4.11 to Mountain Lion?

I would like to upgrade to Mountain Lion but all installation apps require OS X 10.5 or greater.

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a G3, no further upgrades are available.
If it's a G4 or G5, buy a retail Mac OS X 10.5 DVD from a source such as Amazon or eBay; Apple still might have copies in stock if you phone them. It can't be upgraded past 10.5.8.
If it's an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, run the Mac OS X 10.6.8 combo updater, and then try buying Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store.

HT4140 How can I update Mac OS X 10.5.8 into Mac OS X 10.6?

I have the software Mac OS X 10.5.8 right now but I need to update into a Mac OS X 10.6 in order to get the Mountain Lion... But I can't seem to be able to do it... Help?

If u have another mac and its 10.6.8 or higher u can do it easily
Purchase and download Lion from the Mac App Store (or use your up-to-date redemption code), and when the download is finished, the Mountain Lion installer will load. Quit the installer (press Command-Q) and go to the Application folder on your system.
Locate and right-click the Mountain Lion installer to show its contents (click for larger view).(Credit: Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET)If you have already installed Mountain Lion, the installer will have been automatically deleted from your system. In this case, you can go to the Purchases section of the App Store and redownload the installer.
Right-click the "Install Mac OS X Mountain Lion" application in the Applications folder, and choose "Show package contents."
In the new window that opens, go to the Contents > SharedSupport folder and locate the file called "InstallESD.dmg."
Open Disk Utility (in the Applications > Utilities folder) and drag the InstallESD.dmg image to the device sidebar, where it should appear under your various disk and volumes listings.
In Disk Utility select the InstallESD.dmg file, and then you can click the Burn icon in Disk Utility's toolbar to burn the image to a DVD (single-layer 4.7GB discs do not have enough space, so use dual-layer 8.5GB discs). If you wish to create a USB or FireWire install drive instead, then continue on to step 6.
Connect a spare USB or FireWire drive that has at least 6GB of capacity, which should show up in Disk Utility. Optionally partition it by selecting it and using the Partition tab to split it into two logical volumes (one for the Mountain Lion installer and the other for extra storage space) by clicking the plus button to create a new partition, and then setting the first partition to be 4.8GB in size.
Drag the destination drive to the Destination field, and drag the InstallESD.dmg image to the Source field.(Credit: Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET)Select the InstallESD.dmg file in Disk Utility and click the Restore tab that appears in the main Disk Utility window. When you do this you should see the disk image appear in the Source field, but if not then drag it there.
Drag your destination drive (the desired USB or FireWire drive volume) to the Destination field, and then click the Restore button. Confirm you would like to do this, and when complete you should have a fully bootable Mountain Lion installation drive.
This process should work as described but the restoration process could fail with an error. You can overcome this by first mounting the InstallESD.dmg file and then using the mounted volume as the Source for the restoration, instead of the disk image file itself.If restoring the InstallESD.dmg file directly does not work, then first mount it and restore the "Mac OS X Install ESD" volume that appears (click for larger view).(Credit: Screenshot by Topher Kessler/CNET)
To do this, first select the InstallESD.dmg file in the Disk Utility sidebar and click the Open button in the Disk Utility toolbar. When mounted, you will see a volume name appear called "Mac OS X Install ESD" underneath the image file. In the Restore tab in Disk Utility, drag this new volume to the Source field, and then repeat step 8 above to restore it to your drive of choice (special thanks to MacFixIt reader Michael A. for this tip).
When Disk Utility creates the drive in this manner, all files on it will be erased and replaced with the restored data; however, if you initially partitioned the drive (see step 6 above), then you can still use the drive's secondary volume for other purposes in addition to being a Mountain Lion install source.

How do I update my existing Itunes to 11.1 on my phone and mac? Thanks

How do I update my existing Itunes to 11.1 on my phone and mac? Thanks

The 11.1 update I believe is only for OS X and not IOS. Look for the update in the Mac App Store/Updates or System Preferences/Software Update. To be safe, make sure you backup your system first.

cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.
