Upgrading to 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.

Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:

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.
If you need to purchase Lion contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download.
Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

    Hello,
    Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
        *  Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
    minimum system requirements
        * 512MB of memory (I say 1.5GB for PPC at least, 2-3GB minimum for IntelMacs)
        * DVD drive for installation

    Classic/OS9 Apps no longer supported.
    Trouble is Apple no longer sells it, check eBay & such for the Retail version, not the Gray Discs...
    http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=mac+os+x+leopard+retail+10.5
    There are workarounds if the 867MHz CPU is the only hangup...

  • I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this?

    I have mac osx 10.6.8 and I keep getting update notices that do nothing, just search for update server. Happens every day. What can you or I do to fix this? Other people I work with and use macs have the same issue.

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

    If you have enough room on the boot drive, head to System Preferences > Accounts and create another Admin Account, log out and into it and try your Software Update again.
    If this doesn't work, connect a Ethernet cable to the router or modem (power off/on) and try again.
    If this doesn't work then run through this list of fixes.

    Depends what MacBook version you have.
    Go to  > About This Mac > More Info > hardware overview (should open at that usually).
    Check the model identifier (MacBook4.1 or similar)
    Check Processer Name
    Processer speed
    Memory
    Specs for Snow Leopard (10.6.x)
    And for Lion (10.7.x);
    Note that the memory quoted in those specs is absolute minimum for each OS - 106 really needs at least 2GB and Lion 4GB

  • TA48312 I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, how do I upgrade to 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8?

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, how do I upgrade to 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8? Do I need to just go to the Geek Squad or is it something I can do?

    Phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD. If you want to go to 10.7 or 10.8 and have a Mac that supports it, buy it from the Mac App Store; if your computer supports 10.7 but not 10.8, order a download code from the Apple Store.

    10.4.11 is as far as you can go with Tiger.  You have to pay for the next update.  It is not available via Software Update.  Depending on which Mac you have, it can be Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion.

  • HT6114 Have Mac OS X 10.5.8. Want to update to safari 7.0... won't let me ... anyone know why?

    Have Mac OS X 10.5.8. Want to upgrade to safari 7.0... it will not let me! Anyone know why?
    Thanks,
    Wes

    Of course it won't let you. You need to be running OS X Mavericks to run Safari 7.
    Run "Software Update" and you'll get the latest version of Safari that's supported on Leopard. You can't use a newer version, as the OS doesn't support the APIs that newer versions of Safari require to run.

    If you have an Intel Mac, purchase Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store. If you have a G4 or G5 Mac, purchase Mac OS X 10.5 from a site such as Amazon. If you have a G3 Mac, you don't.
    Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 need to be purchased on a retail DVD. No downloads are available to the general public.

  • I can't download the new itunes.  It says I need Mac OS X 10.5.  I have Mac OS X 10.4.11. What do I do?

    How do I upgrade to MAX OS X 10.5

    You have to find a Leopard 10.5 DVD and upgrade.  Good luck finding it and be prepared to pay a lot of money.  Why do you need to update iTunes?  I still use version 7.5.

  • Why Do I have A Volume Named  Network On My Desktop  --  What Did I Do

    I noticed yesterday that I have a volume on my Desktop named "Network". here was also an icon called Server", but that disappeared after I restarted. "Network" may have been there 2- 3 days ago, but I'm sure it wasn't there before 3 days ago. No other users on the machine have it. I can't unmount it. Where did it come from?
    I am running OS 10.4.10 on an iMac G3. I normally connect to the internet via ethernet. I have a cable modem and the line from the modem goes to a wireless router. My computer is connected via ethernet from the router to my Mac.
    The other day I disconnected my ethernet and tried to connect wireless. It seems to accept the password, but I could not connect. I never had a problem before.
    Other details:
    I have tried restarts and complete shut down with no affect.
    I start-up from an external firewire hard drive. When I start up using the internal "iMac 40G" drive, the Network volume does not appear.
    I haven't added or deleted any items from my account's list of Login items.
    Internet Sharing is Off; Firewall is On with Network Time the only checked item (which it has been for years); Personal Fire Sharing is off with no items checked.
    I'm don't have a lot of networking knowledge, although I do understand some terminology.
    Any assistance will be appreciated.

    Thanks, but still is not resolved. My Finder prefs didn't have show the Network Icon in the sidebar. I tried toggling it on and off anyway.
    I logged in as root user. The Network icon is on the root desktop. but it is an alias. The original is Home. I could trash the folder Library which is shown when I open Network; it also was an alias. But when I tried to trash the alias "Network", it wouldn't let me because I "don't have sufficient privileges".
    When I login with my normal ID, the icon is not an alias -- it is a volume. I can't trash any part of it. Get Info shows server address as nfs://automount%29-nsf%20%5B143]. My permissions are I can read only; owner is system with read and write access; group is wheel with read only access; others can read only.
