TS1394 I'm on OS X 10.5.8 how do I upgrade?

How do I upgrade my os x 10.5.8 Can someome please tell me?

Just a note, those links to the right change, & may not be the same as what the original poster sees.
You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8
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?...

I'ts been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it.
But I'd avoid 10.7 & 10.8 unless you really need it.

TS1394 How do I upgrade from OS 10.5 to 10.6?

I just purchased a track pad for an older iMAC 7.1. My OS is version 10.5.8, but I need a version later than 10.6.5 according to the track pad instructions. How do I obtain this version?
My software says it is updated and I didn't find this version to download on the software update page?

Go to Apple's Online Store and order the Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD - $29.00. Be sure your computer meets the requirements:
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation

TS1394 Installed iLife11. Now iPhoto wont open. Says to update software. Software update says no new software available.

Seems to be a catch22 situation. After installing iLife 11 from Install DVD I tried to open iPhoto. Received message that I needed to update to the latest version. Selected Software Update from Apple Menu and received reply that no new software is available.
What do I do now?

Luckily there is more than one way to update software, click on the following link to view avaliable iPhoto updates...

TS1394 How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6 and higher

How do I update to Mac OS X 10.6

I did not know OS upgrade had to be purchased since I have been updating for free up to this point.
Everything within a major point release for OS X is free. So moving from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8 for example would be free. 10.5.x to 10.6.x would not.
Apple does continue to confuse folks by giving major paid releases the same OS X name and just increasing the point number. Usually in the world of software, a point release is a larger, free update to fix programming issues. You would normally have expected paid releases to be OS X (10), OS XI (11), etc. Apple did this instead, each paid major release called OS X:
10.2 - Jaguar
10.3 - Panther
10.4 - Tiger
10.5 - Leopard
10.6 - Snow Leopard
10.7 - Lion
10.8 - Mountain Lion

TS1394 Problem installing Snow Leopard

I am running OS 10.4.11 on My Intel Macbook. I bought the 10.6.3 installation CD to upgrade. When I put it in the drive, it whirrs around for a few minutes, then ejects without showing up on my screen. What is happening? Why won't it install. I have plenty of memory and an Intel processor,

Upgrade to Leopard
Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
Upgrade beyond Leopard
OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A

Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

TS1394 Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)

Software Update NOT WORKING (Snow Leopard)
Hi, I am currently using Snow Leopard 10.6 on my iMac. I opened iTunes and was told there was an update available so I clicked the button to download it. This obviously opened up the 'download' screen with blue bar. The blue bar does not move and the message comes up that the download failed. I have tried troubleshooting, but the message I get is that I am not connected to the internet - which I am.
Please help.

Check your iTunes version, it's reporting v10.6.3 here on 10.6.8 and no updates required.
You should be able to download it from here

TS1394 After installing maverick, microsoft entourage fails to load due to "PowerPC applications no longer supported." Now what do I do to get my email back ?

After installing OS X 10.9.1 maverick, my email program, microsoft entourage, fails to load because "PowerPC" no longer supported. What do I do now ?

I've been holding off upgrading to Mavericks until I feel like I've identified the problems I'm most likely to encounter and have a solution for them. This concerns me, becasue I thought Office 2008, including Entourage, was good to go. It's very definitely not a PPC application - I'm running it on Lion (which can't run PPC programs), and Activity Monitor identifies it as Kind=Intel. Is the issue that Mavericks is misidentifying Entourage 2008 as a PPC application?

Bad choice, since the cost is exorbitant. Snow Leopard ($29 USD) is available from its online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.]
Additionally, you can get a MAS redemption code via the same route. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4140947?tstart=0 for details.

TS1394 Trying to Upgrade from OS X 10.5

I have a power mac desktop that is running OS X 10.5 How can I upgrade to the new software coming out in July? I want to have iMovie on my computer -which seems to only be available with the new software. However when I go to the Apple and select "Software Update'" I only get an iTunes update -which starts to download but then stops with an error message that says something like, "digital signature incorrect, may have been tampered with etc..." What do I do?

System Requirements
Platform: Mac, PowerMac, Mac OS X
Media: DVD-ROM
Item Quantity: 1
Try Amazon > http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MB966Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B0014X5XEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U TF8&qid=1341171341&sr=8-1&keywords=ilife%2709
That installs all the components of iLife suite of software, not just iMovie.

TS1394 I downloaded MacKeeper, since it identifies itself as an Apple application. Then I got suspicious and deleted the download. Yet the icon is still in the menu on the top line. System is somewhat slow. Now mackeeper pop up says it can fix all?

Is MacKeeper a legitimat Apple ware? I have deleted the downloads, yet the icon remains in the upper line and there are pop-ups: Fix all issues that affect your system status by activating MacKeeper. What should I do?

Do not install MacKeeper (and how to uninstall it if you have):

(Please note that references to the original developers, Zeobit, also now refer to Kromtech Alliance Corp, who acquired MacKeeper and PCKeeper from ZeoBit LLC in early 2013.

Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed.
Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think my hard drive is toast. When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:
CSRHID Transition Driver: start booting in single user... will wait for window server
Then the following text appears, repeating itself over and over, except that the numbers (indicated by "xxxxxxx")
SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00
SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00

0[Level 3] [READUID 0] [Facility com.apple.system.fs] [FSLogMsgID xxxxxxxxxx] [FSLogMsgOrder Last]
These messages keep repeating with the numbers (xxxxxxxxx) changing with each iteration.
Does this indicate a bad hard drive?
Thanks.

how can i get upgrade the ios x v 10.5.8? I purchased an iphone 5 but cannot connect with my macbook 5. I cannot update itune 11 as my ios is not up to date

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available 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.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to 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:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

TS1394 im getting an error message when trying to install the snow leopard application cd 2. need help.

im getting an error message when trying to install the application cd on my Imac os x 10.6.4 what can I do to solve this problem?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
