UPDATE OLD MAC 10.4.11

Hello, I have a very old mac: Mac OS 10.4.11, 2Ghz Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2, CAN IT BE UPDATED?

Click here, install the DVD, run Software Update, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

Using new iPhoto to update old .Mac gallery

I want to use iPhoto 6.0.3 to update this photo gallery, which was started in an older version of iPhoto: http://homepage.mac.com/lpennock/
I used to be able to select "share to web" or whatever that option was and update the gallery that way, but now it seems I can only create new "iWeb" galleries that show up here: http://web.mac.com/lpennock/iWeb/Site/random%20summer.html
If there is a way to move my entire .Mac gallery at the link above to a iWeb photo page, that's fine, I just want them all to be in the same place. Is this possible? Are all the old .Mac galleries now non-updatable?
Thanks!
-Lewis

Lewis:
The only way I've been able to update my Homepage galleries was to do the following:
1 - export the files you want to add to a folder on the desktop resizing them to the size of the ones already in the gallery.
2 - mount your iDisk and locate the folder on the iDisk that contains the files for that gallery and copy your files into it.
3 - go the the .Mac page and log in and then goto the Homepage section.
4 - select the page you want to edit and click on the Edit button.
5 - the newly added files should show up at the bottom where you can edit the title and place them where you want.
As far as converting from Homepage to iWeb easily, there is no easy way. I'm in the process of doing it now and have to go about it this way.
1 - create the photo page in iWeb.
2 - go to the iDisk and download the source files for the Homepage you're converting.
3 - select all of the downloaded image files and drag into the iWeb photo page.
4 - with your Homepage open in Safari, copy the general text and photo text and past into the appropriate section of the iWeb page. Tedious work at best.
Do you Twango?

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 Mavericks 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

yours garrett ison
p.s thank you

Hi gazza90,
first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
Unfortunately you do not give us any information about the system. We need to now as much as possible about the system (Exact Mac type, processor type, MHz, RAM, current system version, etc.) in order to help!
P.S. Upgrading to 9.2.2 as suggested above is a good idea.

How do i update my old itunes 10.0.1 to 10.6.3 since i cant install 10.7 due to having an old mac

basically i have an old version of itunes 10.0.1 and i need to update it to either 10.6.3 or 10.5 so i can sync it with my iphone 4. i cant download 10.7 due to the fact that i have an old mac. but the problem is i download 10.6.3 and i install it and everything goes well but when i open up my itunes it stays at 10.0.1 and doesnt update at all

jade_pham - Your question is not the same as the original poster's. The OP has 10.6.3 downloaded, you cannot find it. It is almost always best to start your own topic when asking questions here unless your question is so similar you don't need to ask it.
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575

I need to download a newer version of itunes on my 10 year old mac. I can no longer sync my iphone to my computer itunes without this update. I have tried unsuccessfully 4 times, and have no idea what I am doing wrong. Suggestions anyone?

Tell me how to download a newer version of itunes on my old mac so i can it will sync to my iphone please.

Click here, buy and install the DVD, and then run Software Update twice. If you're actually using Mac OS X Server, you'll need to phone the online Apple Store instead of using the link I posted.

Your old MacBook series, built between 2006 and 2010, had several
different verions within those years and they do not all accept a later
upgrade to the most newest OS X versions...
These shipped with (early) intel-version Tiger OS X 10.4.x through
Leopard 10.5.x, and early models can use Snow Leopard 10.6.8,
& some can run as late as Lion 10.7.5; or maybe Mavericks 10.9.2.
Hardware limits and system configuration specs determine this.
A supported computer may also need hardware upgrade (RAM)
to run a later OS X system version along with newer software.
•How to identify MacBook models:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1635
•Apple MacBook Specs (ALL MacBook Technical Specs) - everymac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
The base system upgrade for earliest MacBook 1.1 & MB2.1 past
the original as-shipped Leopard 10.5.x, would be Snow Leopard
10.6 (w/ Combo update to 10.6.8 v.1.1) for Snow Leopard download.
So your MacBook likely has either Leopard or Snow Leopard. If it has
Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed/updated to last step, then it may be
able to go to the online Mac App Store, App Store, iTunes Store, etc.
You can see if an applicable upgrade past the current OS X system
is available from the Mac App Store. If yours is MacBook1.1 (early)
then highest it may go is Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The later MB2.1
has limited upgrade, and could use Lion OS X 10.7.5 at most.
More recent builds of MacBook, toward the last model year 2010,
can take as new an upgrade as Mavericks OS X 10.9.2. This is
based on build version specs, hardware limitation, and so on.
•Mac OS X - Upgrade - Apple Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/osx/upgrade/
In order to know more about the possibilities, you'd have to supply
more information on your exact MacBook model build year etc.
The "About this Mac" as found under the Apple menu icon  is of
some help. Additional info from "More Info" in the next window can
help when System Profiler appears. The hardware specs are there.
Good luck

HT1338 if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

if I have an old mac with OS X, how can I update if Apple doesn't recognise that I need an update?!!

You need to buy an upgrade if one is compatible with your Mac model.
PowerPC G3 Macs can only go to 10.4.11.
PowerPC G4 and G5 Macs can only go to 10.5.8.
Macs with a Core Solo or Core Duo CPU can only go to 10.6.8.
Core 2 Duo and better Macs can go to 10.7.5 or 10.8.3 depending on their model. Upgrading to either requires going through 10.6.

Check under App Store/Purchases for your purchase. Install it from there again. ... Hopefully you did buy this from Apple's App Store, right!
