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.

  • Software update does not work when I try to update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7.  How do I update?

    How do you update from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.7?  Software update app does not perform update.

    That's because 10.7 is not an update, it is an upgrade that you have to buy by using the App Store app, not by using the Software Update.
    It costs $19.95: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

  • HT201364 I would like to update from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 but...

    I would like to update from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 but the store says I can not
    run Mavericks on my computer.  Why is that?  My hardware specs are:
    Model Name:          Mac Pro
    Model Identifier:          MacPro1,1
    Processor Name:          Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed:          3 GHz
    Number of Processors:          2
    Total Number of Cores:          4
    L2 Cache (per Processor):          4 MB
    Memory:          4 GB
    Bus Speed:          1.33 GHz
    Boot ROM Version:          MP11.005C.B08
    SMC Version (system):          1.7f10
    And over 700Gb of disc space.
    Is this machine really too old to run Mavericks?  Yes, I would dearly like to purchase a -new- MacPro, and I probably will soon, but this "old" machine still has a lot of life in it and upgrading to 10.9 would make it that much nicer when I give it to my niece.

    Kappy> not capable of booting a 64-bit kernel or running 64-bit extensions.
    Huh? My MacPro has two 64bit Xeon processors!!
    jayv> I don't think it's the Xeon as it is 64-bit.
    Yes, thank you!  :-)
    jayv> Apple does not explain why it has set these specific limits as minimum requirements.
    I'll say.  That is probably why my previous post which questioned possible "marketing" decisions has been removed from this discussion.
    So now I have a museum piece that can go up on eBay in another 30 years.  Nice.
    Thank you all for the rapid replies!

  • After updating from OSX 10.5 to 10.6 clicking on new links in firefox make the snapshot sound but no picture is taken

    I updated from OSX leopard to snow leopard. When clicking on links to open new tabs or windows firefox seems to be activing a certain sound. The sound is exactly like the one used to indicate a snap shot of the screen has been taken. But as far as I can tell no picture is being taken, only that sound is being produced with every new tab or window generated by clicking on links. The sound is very annoying.

    Disabling all ad-ons seems to get rid of the issue. After enabling the ad-ons one by one, the only one left to be enabled is iPhotoPhotocast 7.0. I believe this was causing the issue.

  • HT1338 how do I update from OSX 10.5.8 to current OSX

    How do I update from OSX 10.5.8 to the current OSX on my MacBook.  I'm having all kinds of issues becuase I can't update to the newest iTunes and my iPhone4s apps stopped downloading and all the message boards are telllinging me I need to use iExplorer which I don't have because I have an older OS.

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (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/
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

  • What happen to window partition when i updated from OSX 10.6 to 10.7?

    what happens to boot camp and windows 7 partition when i updated from OSX 10.6 to 10.7?

    When you install 10.7 or later, a Recovery HD partition is created taking a small part of the bottom portion of the BootCamp partition so it will be slightly smaller.
    However upgrades can go bad and you need to backup regardless.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    If you can only upgrade to 10.7 on that machine and can't go to 10.8, then really it's almost a wasted effort really.
    You should know your PPC based programs that are running under 10.6's  "Rosetta" are NOT going to work if you upgrade to 10.7 or later.
    Be prepared to buy all new programs.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also there is a performance issue especially after you software update 10.7 to the lastest version, it's more defined on older machines.
    If it's not a Early 2011 or later, I would stick with 10.6.8 on it as it has about 30% version share, almost the same as 10.7 has. Apple is paying attention to Snow Leopard, recent security updates have been issued.

  • Can't update from OSX 10.4.11 to 10.4.2

    I have a G4 MDD Dual 867 Mhz. I have downloaded a OSX 10.4.2 updater from the Apple downloads area. I have OSX 10.4.11 and it won't allow me to install it on the selected drive, and I get error message:
    "You cannot install Mac OSX Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements of this update."
    Can someone tell me what's wrong?

    Can someone tell me what's wrong?
    Nothing. Mac OS X 10.4.11 is the eleventh update to Mac OS X 10.4, while Mac OS X 10.4.2 is only the second. The numbers in a portion of the version number are supposed to be read as an unit instead of separate ones.

  • Can't update from OSX 10.8 to OSX 10.8.2

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro 13 inch display with 500GB HDD and 4 GB RAM.  The unit shipped with OSX 10.8.  In my SW updates, I'm trying to update iPhoto, but it says it requries OSX 10.8.2.  However, 10.8.2 does not show up in my "updates" in the App Store, and if I try to buy it in the App Store, it says I already have Mountain Lion.  I assume the upgrade from 10.8 to 10.8.2 is free, so why does 10.8.2 not show up in my app store?   How can I upgrade to 10.8.2?

    I'm not sure why it is not showing up, but you can download the update from here:

  • Can update from osx 10.6.8 to yosemite?

    Is it possible to upgrade from OSX 10.6.8 straight to Yosemite?

    Hi Gerchak,
    I just checked and I have a MacBookPro 6,2, Intel Core i5, 2.4 GHz, 4 GB memory.
    Since I don't have a 7,1.. does that mean I can't run Yosemite? I'm a bit confused though because...
    On this page: How to install OS X Yosemite on your Mac - Apple Support
    It says..
    Before you install Yosemite, make sure you have one of these Macs:
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    My MacBook Pro is from 2009 so it fits the description.
    Now, where can I even download Mavericks (it isn't on the App Store anymore)?
    Thanks!

    Purchase a Snow Leopard DVD with which you can upgrade your current system.  Before upgrading do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If all is OK then continue with the installation of Snow Leopard.

  • Updating from OSX Server 10.4.11 to OSX Server 10.5.x

    (This has also been posted in the 10.5 section as well.)
    Question - We have a server running OSX 10.4 that we would like to
    update. Currently it's running in a local user mode, all of the users
    and user passwords and profiles are local to the server, and we have
    no open directory or domain services running.
    It is also running a separate Kerio mail server and Rumpus FTP server on
    this server.
    We perform a system clone using Carbon Copy Cloner, and then proceed
    with the update to 10.5.x.
    The only update that completes successfully is for an Advanced Server,
    but there are no users and all of the
    accounts are missing including the admin account which needs to be
    rebuilt. If we choose Standard or Workgroup, the upgrade hangs during
    the "configuring the server" step.
    What can we do to get at least a Workgroup upgrade to complete, and/or
    what can we do to
    preserve the user accounts, profiles and passwords going forward?
    As part of this process we would like to convert the existing user
    base from a local user to a open directory user data base to better
    manage the users. Do we need to do this first before we upgrade?

    Readers in the Server 10.5 forums are more likely to have conquered the issues you are wrestling with.
    You can't easily export and re-import your users' passwords. So you should "talk up" the idea that everyone will be getting a default password or something simple and unique like their home Zipcode as their password after the conversion.
    The Upgrade and Migration Guide for 10.5 should have some ideas for exporting user records. There MAY be a way to export the User records to a file, then re-import that file as Open Directory Users. Otherwise, you may be better off retyping them, if there are fewer than hundreds.
    Users' files should be directly re-useable as their Home Directories, BUT Make sure you have two or more backups. There is no quicker way to be a bum than to lose users files completely.

  • Anyone recently updated from OSX 10.8.5 to Maverick ?

    I would deeply appreciate some input on updating to Maverick. Any issues? Is it worthy? I've been reading about many problems!

    If you go to http://www.apple.com/osx/ and read the links labeled "See What's New >" and "Learn More >" that will tell you a lot about Mavericks.
    A bootable clone is copy of the system disk that is made in such a fashion so as to be able to boot your Mac. It has a complete copy of everything that is on your system disk currently. When booted from the clone, your Mac will appear exactly the same as it did when the clone was made.
    To make a bootable clone you need a disk drive on which the clone will be written formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and GUID partition map. You need cloning software to copy all the data over and make the disk bootable. I know of two applications that can do cloning which are SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Problems updating from OSX 10.6.7 to 10.6.8

    I've installed the new FCPX update on my iMac system, my second system, and it appears to be working fine. As part of the process I had to update the OS to 10.6.8 from 10.6.7.
    So I felt that was successful and have tried to do the same on my mac tower primary system. This is the system that was built for me by a local systems integrator but has never worked as smoothly as it should and still crashes several times a day. I finally gave up hoping the systems integrator would ever make good on the setup after a couple of years, which is a long story and I won't bore you with it here.
    On trying the update on the tower system, though, I get a "panic" on rebooting after the update of the OS. This is before even attempting to install the FCPX update. I get the restart message and the system always goes to the "panic" screen and hangs there, requiring a reboot which results in another hang.
    I had made CCC clones of the system drive before doing the update, so I can boot to one of those, then CCC clone the system drive back to itself, and everything works normally. If I try to update the OS I get the "panic" screen again and the cycle repeats.
    I'm pasting the error report below. I'm well out of my depth in trying to make sense of the report. I'd appreciate any help I can get on what the problem is and how to fix it.
    Thanks in advance.
    John

    Thanks for the reply. The systems intregrator did a number of complete reinstalls when they were trying to work out the issues. I'm actually hoping this is a hardware issue that may finally be determined through this upgrade problem, if that makes sense. If that doesn't pan out I may just get a new, larger hard drive and do as you suggest, since they're so cheap. But I hope this will somehow track down the larger problem of system crashes.
    Best,
    John
