TS2951 what is the migration path from 10.5.8 on an iMac to the latest OS Mountain Lion

I have an intel Imac with osx 10.5.8  What is the proper way to upgrade the OS to current Mountain Lion and NOT lose my personal data?

Back up your data, phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, buy at least 1GB more RAM for your computer, install the DVD, run Software Update, and if your Mac supports Mountain Lion, get it from the Mac App Store.

    how could iI upgrade my OS from Mac OS 10.5.8 to the Latest version Mountain Lion

    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?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    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

  • I tried to download the latest OSX Mountain Lion and got this notice - "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed. "  What does this mean and why can't I download it?

    I tried to download the latest OSX for my iMac - Mountain Lion.
    This is the message that I received:
    "We could not complete your purchase.  The product distribution file could not be verified.  It may be damaged or was not signed."
    What does this mean?

    The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
    Power down.  Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore. 
    No trouble at all once I did this.
    Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
    Hope it helps.

  • Is there a Migration Path from EP 5.0 to EP 7.0?

  • Migration Path from v2008.3 to v9.3.2

    Is there a migration path from v2008.3 to v9.3.2?
    Our v2008.3 environment is on a Windows 2003 server, therefore we cannot do an in-place upgrade to v9.3.2 (on Windows 2008R2).  CatalogDeployer does not work between v2008.3 and v9.3.2.
    Any ideas on how to move the services from one environment to another?
    Please help!

    We were on 2008.3 and then went to 9.1 SP2.  The upgrade meant we had to install the last service pack for 2008 and then install to 9.1 and then install the SP2 pack.  This change fro 2008.3 to 9.1 SP2 was a big pain for us on the Reporting side.  The MyServices and ServiceDesigner pieces had little problems.  This was an upgrade from Win2003 w/ SQL 2005 to Win2003 w/SQL 2008.  We've been running 9.1 SP2 on SQL2008 for a year now with no problems.
    We are now upgrading to 9.3.2 and are just going to run the 9.3.2 installer.  We will have new servers put in place with Win 2008R2 and on the database side have just done an inplace update from SQL 2008 to SQL 2008 R2.  This means that currently we are running 9.1 SP2 on SQL 2008 R2 in production.  We run a very high volume for RequestCenter so the setup works fine for us in this topology.  Going to Win2008 we are going to copy the database tables and run an in-place upgrade on the newly built Win2008 app server. 
    As for CatalogDeployer, we kept the old environment and the new environment around while testing the upgrade.  This meant we could make changes to Prod using the old environment and then once production was upgraded, we deleted the old environment.

  • What is the latest OS this iMac can run?

    What is the latest version of system software this iMac can run? My data from About This Mac includes: Model Name: iMac
    Model Identifier: iMac7,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB

    Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
    SMC Version: 1.20f4
    If the latest version can be used, what do I need to order to get there?

    Officially your upgrade path is the Mac Box Set - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC581Z/A
    But if you just want to update the OS, then the Snow Leopard disk will not mind that you're on Tiger. Remember to take a full backup beforehand - preferably a clone of the disk (Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or Disk Utility will do this) because I think SL will fully blank the disk so you'll need the clone to do a User Migration from after the install completes.
    The Box Set is the better deal if you want iLife and iWork updated too.

    What is the latest update available for Mac OSX 10.5.8 that will allow me to get the latest update for iTunes.  I really need to update my iPhone and CAN'T!!  GRRRR!!!

    Minimally you need Snow Leopard or greater:
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or 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.
    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 Mountain Lion 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 Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. 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.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 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 Mountain Lion — System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             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?

  • I have a 2007 (Imac7,1) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  What is the latest OX I can upgrade to?  I want to get t the Cloud and I can't

    I have a 2007 (Imac7,1) running Snow Leopard (10.6.8).  What is the latest OX I can upgrade to?  I want to get t the Cloud and I can't

    Minimum requirements for iCloud is v10.7.5 Lion.
    See if your Mac can run Lion >  OS X Lion - Technical Specifications
    You can purchase Lion here > OS X Lion (10.7) - Apple Store (U.S.)
    After the purchase Apple will send you an email notification with a redemption code you can use at the App Store to downlaod Lion.
    BEFORE you do that, see if your Mac can Mavericks  >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    If so, you don't need to purchase Lion.
    You can download Mavericks from the App Store for free.

  • What is the latest MAC OSX that my Macbook 2,1 can support?

    What is the latest MAC OSX that my Macbook 2,1 can support?  It came with 10.4.11Lion.
    I am upgrading my harddrive and would love to install the most current OS that I possibly can. 
    I also have a Macbook 3,1 with OSX 10.5.8 Leopard that I want to do the same with.  If they can both run the same OSX that would be helpful too.
    Thanks a MILLION!

    Both of those MacBooks can run up to 10.7 Lion. (10.4.11 is Tiger) It's the RAM that you'll need to upgrade.
    First you'll need to upgrade to 10.6 Snow Leopard.  The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. After you’ve installed that then download the 10.6.8 combo updater to finish it off. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399 You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion, http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    System Requirements for 10.6:
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible internet service provider: fees may apply.
    You can put two 2gb RAM sticks in your model 2,1 but it can only use 3,3gb. This is a hardware limitation and cannot be changed.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/faq/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-3-g b-memory-limitation-details.html
    OWC tests have found that there is a slight speed increase with having two 2gb sticks in rather than one 1gb and one 2gb. Your model is in the gray lines at the bottom of the graph. http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/Memory_Benchmark/Apple_MacBook/
    You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems as long as you have at least 1gb of RAM. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for third party programs compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/  You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications 
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/  
    I recently upgraded an older MacBook (Early 2006 model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store. Or go to http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion and purchase it there. The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a Late 2006 model 2,1 MacBook.
    Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • What is the latest Mac running 10.8

    I am planning to buy a new iMac. I understand that the iMacs Apple is selling now will not run 10.8. While I can afford to buy a new iMac I can't affordto buy and relearn all the key software which will not run on Maverics. I recently went through that when updating to 10.8 after waiting years for software to become compatible.
    What is the latest iMacs I can buy that will run 10.8?

    If it can run Mountain Lion then it can run Mavericks, so that is what will be installed unless you buy a used one. The most recent iMac will run a special build of 10.8.5. 10.8.5 retail should work on all eligible iMacs which are the same models that can also run Mavericks.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks 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- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             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

  • What is the latest FW version for the X6

    Nokia's Indian call center really are useless.
    They tell me the reason I cant access the ovi store is because I dont have the latest firmware.
    The firmware on my phone is v12
    The latest firmware, according to them is v11.
    They don't seem to understand that perhaps their information is wrong, and that I must speak to my network to get the latest firmware or they can't help me!
    So what IS the latest firmware for the X6?
    I really hate offshore call centres where if your problem doesn't fit the script then they just freak out. It's like they are robots or something.

    Take them however you want but keep in mind that getting annoyed on this forum will not get you an official response. This is primarily a forum where people help each other, not a place for getting help from nokia.
    FYI, I don't make stuff up, I was simply relaying problems reported on other threads and sites in an attempt to be helpful. 
    As for support nearly all companies are as bad as each other nowadays thanks to call centres.

  • What is the latest kernel version for OL6

    Hi,
    After a yum update, this is what I got:
    2.6.32-300.39.1.el6uek.x86_64
    I am using a SSD and it seems (based on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM) that
    support for ATA TRIM was added in 2.6.33.
    My question is what is the latest kernel version for OL6?
    Thanks,

You will need to modify your ULN channel subscription or which channels are enabled from public-yum.oracle.com to install this kernel.
