Update Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) to Yosemite

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my iMac 5,2 witrh Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) to Yosemite, but when I am going to the download button I get a message saying that OS X 10.10 cannot be installed on this computer.
I have 2,25 Gb of RAM.
I would appreciate any support or suggestions on how to move to a newst OS version.
Thanks

not all core 2's will take the upgrade
Heres the list of models that would run Mavericks, the same prerequisite would stand for Yosemite as well.
iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or newer), (15-inch, Mid / Late 2007 or newer), (17-inch, Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
also 2.25GB RAM you will regret the upgrade, that OS is not happy unless it has at the very least 4GB to run. When Apple says it runs in 2GB RAM they mean it starts up but after upgrading four systems to Yosemite (and re-downgrading two of them) I'm calling out BS on Apple for that statement.
and I think 10.7.5 is the last OS your system can use having used that too I'd say 10.6.8 was the more stable of the two and you might want to read this to inform yourself of what to expect:
Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta!

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.

I have mac OS 10.6.8 build 10K549 cannot update mail or OS to lion

I have an iMac with a newly replace 1 tetrabyte HD which has come back with mac OS 10.6.8 and build 10K549 I cannot update Mac mail or update the OS to lion. I have downloaded the update to the OS to allow the installation of Lion but the desternation HD comes back with "the volume does not meet the requirements of this update"

What model iMac do you have?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this?

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549) and there is free update for Maverick will I have problems since there were no free updates prior to this? I just do not want to loose any data. Thank you for your help.

you should always make a backup of data regularly, especially when upgrading to a higher version of OS X. Just because it's free has no bearing on it giving anyone any problems. The only concern you may have is not all older programs will work with 10.9 that do with 10.6. Check here to see if you have any programs that would not run in 10.9: https://tidbits.com/article/12156

After update Mac Pro boots to grey screen with Kernel Panic. Help please.

It would be great if someone can help me out. Yesterday I did a software update of iTunes and osx (it said to ease update to Lion) and now my Mac Pro tower (MacPro3,1) boots to a grey screen, kernel panic, telling me that I need to power down and restart my machine. I can boot into osx via the safe mode but unfortunately I don't have an install disk to repair the system disk. What are my options?
The machine appears to work in safe mode. I have tried resetting the PRAM. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
In safe mode, I get this error report.

There's no point in reinstalling the same driver. It hasn't changed. It's incompatible with the OS update. Contact the device manufacturer to see if there's a driver update. In the meantime, you should physically remove the device so the driver doesn't load. If you uninstall the driver and leave the device installed, that might also cause a panic.

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.

I want to update Mac OS X 10.5.8 to Lion.

I want to update Mac OS X 10.5.8 to Lion.
I ask to help and it is detailed, step by step to explain that it is necessary to do!
Thanks.

Instead of going to Lion which is no longer available I'd recommend going to Mountain Lion. Apple explains the minimum system requirements in:
General Requirements
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory (4GB or more recommended)
8GB of available space
Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Supported
Models
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
If your system can be upgraded, first backup using Time Machine or create a bootable clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Then call the online Apple Store and purchase a license of Snow Leopard (no longer availble unless you call Apple!!!!) then follow the instructions that come with the DVD to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Next upgrade to the most current release of SL which is 10.6.8 by clicking 10.6.8 Update Combo and following the on-screen instructions. After the update run Software Update to ensure all other apps are up-to-date and follow all the suggested recommendations! Next open the Mac App Store and purchase Mt. Lion and follow the on-screen instructions. VERY VERY simple if you follow these instructions.

No. Your computer can’t be upgraded past Lion 10.7.5.

Hi Buterem,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:
How to use Activity Monitor - Apple Support
If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

The update "Mac OS X update combined (powerpc)" can't be installed?

I recently upgraded from OS X 10.3.9 to Tiger (10.4.6) and encountered a weird problem. My system is a Dual 1GHz G4 (mirror drive door) with 768 MB RAM.
When I try to launch iTunes, I get an error telling me that "iTunes requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later..."
That never happened before, so I assume that the Tiger installation (or a Software Update I was unaware of) sabotaged iTunes by imposing this new requirement.
Now here's the irony: I can't install OS X 10.4.7! When I run Software Update, it tries to install Mac OS X Update Combined (PowerPC) 10.4.10-- but it fails every time with the message:
The update "Mac OS X update combined (powerpc)" can't be installed.
The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed by "Apple."
So this seems to be a transmission error, or something wrong with Apple's server. I've tried this repeatedly over the last few days, but nothing changes.
Any suggestions? I tried downloading the installer from Apple's download page, but it results in the same error. Is there perhaps a clean version of 10.4.8 I can download from somewhere?
It's really frustrating not being able to run iTunes because of an OS "upgrade."

Then, stop using Software Update, click the Downloads link at the page's top, and manually download the COMBO update. As for iTunes, apparently you installed a later version. With 10.4.6, your quite a few updates behind: OS, security, iTunes, and QuickTime, just to name a few. Before you update, be sure you make a bootable backup/clone. Details for doing that are in these:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941

The update "Mac OS X Update Combined" can't be saved.

A few days ago my mac ( late 2009 model MacBook pro running lion 10.7.2 ) started freezing, a lot. The freezing seemed to be a problem with osx itself rather than with any particular program. So I initiated software update hoping that there would be an osx update. Low and behold, there was.
Here is the problem.... I can't get it. I have tried twice and both times I get this message
"The update “Mac OS X Update Combined” can’t be saved.
The update could not be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading. The update will be downloaded and checked again the next time that Software Update runs."
Any ideas?

Ok this problem has developed somewhat.
My machine has gone from bad freezing spells to being downright broken.
I rebooted the machine and got stuck at login screen.
Rebooted again and didn't get to login screen.
Rebooted again and got logged in but my desktop was unresponsive and then started flashing between the desktop image and a plain grey screen. I did this literally all night (left it over night).
So today I have booted up from an install of lion I have on an external FireWire drive. And all is well. I am trying to backup things like my photo library and other documents so that I can format the internal hard drive and and do a clean install.
I can access the hard drive, see all the files, but when trying to copy it over I get an error message saying
"the finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto library" can't be read or written ( error code -36 )
Now before anyone screams broken hard drive, the data can be read, because I can view it all in finder. Just can't copy it out to an external drive.
Please help!!
Oh ps. Before booting from the external I created a new admin account on my machine and booted int that. The freezing problem was the same as in my normal account.

The update "Mac OS X Update" can't be saved. ERROR

Hi,
I have been searching these forums for an answer.
Today I had a pop up informing me that update are available.

Any suggestion why this is happening.

Yes I am getting this error and so I got 10.5.7 from Support Downloads but then there was a Safari Beta 4 update and it did the same thing. I'm a little worried after that because I have already had Software Update probs and had to get a brand new MacBook so keep the answers coming

Help installn the 10.5.8 Update Mac OS X Leopard from 10.5.7 (Power PC G5)

I am concerned about installing the +10.5.8 Update Mac OS X Leopard+ from +10.5.7 (Power PC G5)+. It does not say anything about users who aren't on the intel chip systems so I'm worried if I really need to upgrade, any advice?
This also comes to mind when doing any kind of *new update* when SOFTWARE UPDATE manually shoots down and informs me it's time to install some new software updates. I will eventually buy a Mac Book Pro and use my Power PC for home internet use but is there cause for concern to keep updating software because it assumes everyone is already upgraded to intel mac systems??? I hope this isn't a dumb question to people reading this, lol...

I updated my G5 iMac the other day with no problems. I did however
make a backup using CarbonCopyCloner before updating.
I also updated my Intel MacBook with no problems (again taking a
backup prior to the update).
I also did a Repair permissions using Disk Utility before each update.
Some people suggest using the Combo update but I have always used
the delta update via Software Update and have not encountered any
issues.
YMMV
