Upgrade from 10.6.8 to what? Turbo Tax 2014 forcing the issue.(MacPro 2009)

It's time to upgrade from 10.6.8 to what?  Turbo Tax 2014 is forcing the issue.   Go up incrementally or just to 10.7? 10.8? (MacPro 2009)

I have this question, too.  I was advised by someone at Mac App store to purchase OS Lion 10.7 for $ 19.99 which I did.  Only to find out after the purchase and download that I only had 1 GB and needed at least 2  to use Lion.  Now Apple refuses to credit my account for the $19.99 charge sending me some sort of coupon, but cannot be used to purchase the  ram needed for my IMac. nor when I do increase the ram, I would not be able to re-purchase Lion.
I was wondering about Maverick or Yosemite on the older IMac. They are free. Don't understand why the older versions are not free, also.  I have Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and like it very much.

    How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    Well CS5's ship has sailed.
    CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have.  Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

  • Is it possible to upgrade from 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm to ssd on the new 13" 2012 macbook pro?

    is it possible to upgrade from 500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm to ssd on the new 13" 2012 macbook pro?

    New non-retina 15" MBP, I just replaced the 500 gb HD with a Samsung 830 256 gb SSD from Amazon, $255 for the kit (includes a USB cable).  Wow.  What a difference.  Yes, there was a learning curve for some of it, but was so worth it.  Let me know if I can help.  I'm using the 500 gb in 2 partitions - one for a clone of the SSD, and one for Time Machine.

  • Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

    I took my mac to an iStore in South Africa however my country does not have an iStore. Macbook upgraded from 10.5.8 to mountain lion. I lost the update when I tried to restore my old information. How can I get my update back without paying again?

    Ok, that sounds like a valid approach...but now the question is, when you say you lost the upgrade when you tried to restore, exactly what do you mean?  Restore from a Time Machine backup, or another kind of backup?  What happened to the operating system when you did that?
    If it damaged the operating system, you should be able to recover it by restarting your computer holding either the Option key (should result in a grey screen that shows the macintosh hard drive and a recovery hard drive), or by holding the Command and R keys while starting.
    You can use the recovery hard drive to reinstall Mac OS X either way.  If the Option key restart, click on the recovery hard drive to boot from that.
    Then with either approach you will have a screen with a drop-down that gives you choices, such as install Mac OS X, Disk Utility, Terminal.  You will want to use Install (or Reinstall) Mac OS X...note, you must be connected to the internet from this point on.

  • HT4927 When i upgraded from 9.2.3 to 9.3.1 I had migration issues, where most my photos ended up in a restored event called restored photos. But then they don't come up in faces anymore. So can i upgrade to 9.3.2 and then just rebuild my photo library ?

    Best way is to restore your backup from before the problem, rebuild it and update it again

  • I was going to upgrade from 10.6.8 to mavericks 10.9.2, but the installer program notified me stating my appleworks 6 app will not run on the new set up. is there a procedure to keep or switch my documents in order to obtain the mavericks upgrade?

    I can't say personally since I never used AW, but see if these articles help:

    http://www.cultofmac.com/248546/convert-system-os-9-appleworks-6-files-to-os-x-p ages-files-os-x-tips/
    I suggest that you clone your current drive with 10.6.8 to an external drive. If you have any issues after upgrading to Mavericks, you can boot back into 10.6.8.
    Both of these applications can be used to create a clone. If you need help creating your clone, let us know.

  • I recently upgraded from an 80 to 160GB Classic but only some of the artwork in iTunes is synching. There was no problem with the old 80Gb classic. any suggestions?

    here is an interesting thing: take the iphone and set lock screen to never. Now make an email with siri--be sure to activate her with call button. get to the body and get some text in there. then just stop talking. LOCK SCREEN APPEARS!!!!!! and of course you draft is gone.
    There does seem to be a work around for some--maybe all these issues. Don't use the call button--use the buttons on the phone.
    Siri seems to behave properly with scenerio above---sans call button. She does not go to lock.

  • HT1495 upgrading from ipad 2 to 3 - can my apps stay within the current folders?

    I am upgrade from ipad 2 to 3 - can my apps stay within the current folders?

    They SHOULD.
    When you plug in that new iPad you'll be given two options, set up as new, restore from a backup of your old one. Choose the latter and the apps and info from your 2 should transfer over to your 3. You'll need to enter some info, such as the internet connections and passwords, etc, but 90-95% of it will transfer over and your 3 will be a near clone of your 2.

  • Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Why won't Apple allow Verizon to let me upgrade from an Android phone to an iPhone 5 early at the reduced price?

    Here's one of my responses from Verizon:
    Dear Kevin,
    Good Afternoon; I know how frustrating it is to want a new phone, and be told that you are not eligible to upgrade early. My name is Shane, and I will be assisting you today regarding your most recent email.
    I am sorry to say that it is not possible for us to do the upgrade. We most certainly don’t want to lose a valued customer, but we can’t break our contract with Apple. If we did this for you, we would have to do it for everyone. If we did this for everyone we would risk losing our contract with Apple, and not be able to sell iPhones at all. I understand it is a savings to cancel your contract with us, and move to another provider we certainly don’t want you to do that, but that is an option for you.
    Kevin, I am sorry that we were not able to give you the resolution you were wanting. I do appreciate you being a valued Verizon Wireless customer, and I hope you have a good day!
    Sincerely,
    Shane
    Verizon Wireless
    Coordinator IRT

  • My ipad 2 wont upgrade from 5.1.1 to ios7. I keep getting the message software is up to date which it is clearly not

    My ipad 2 wont upgrade from 5.1.1 to ios7. I keep getting the message software is up to date which it is clearly not.
    I have followed the how to upgrade info but cannot proceed past software update.
    I had no problems with my iphone 4

    Your iPad doesn't have a camera!!.... Didn't you say your iPad was an iPad 2 ??
    If your iPad is an iPad 2 then it will have a camera (front and back) and will be able to update to iOS 7.
    The first iPad's last update was before iOS 6, and you said yours was saying 5.1.1 was up to date, then it is probably and iPad first gen not an iPad 2.
    So to answer your question.... You can't update to iOS 7 because your iPad is a first gen not an iPad 2.
    I hope this helped!!!! :D

  • HT4623 My iPad2 is frozen, I am trying to download the upgrade software but fails after a while, how can I solve the issue. I have not upgraded the iPad 2 since I bought it.

    y iPad2 is frozen, I am trying to download the upgrade software but fails after a while, how can I solve the issue. I have not upgraded the iPad 2 since I bought it.

    Try and force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • If I upgrade from iMovie08 to iMovie 11 what will happen to my already existing iMovie projects?

    I need to create a final prodcut for a grad school class and I would like to use some of the features on iMovie 11. I, however, already have begun creating some video clips. I want to know what will happen to my existing projects that are not yet published when I upgrade from iMovie08 to iMovie11. Thanks!

    iM11 doesn't hurt your older projects, nor events.
    keep in mind: iM11 Projects are not compatible with iM09

  • Upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard - What Disk is Necessary?

    I wish to upgrade from 10.5.8 to 10.6.X. My dad owns a 10.6 iMac, and still has the installation disk. Will that work, or do I need to go out and buy that $30 disk specifically for upgrading? Also, more importantly, am I going to need to format? I don't plan on backing anything up. Ultimate question: Will the disk that came with the 10.6 mac allow me to upgrade, while keeping all my files?

    Nothing is for sure, but many people expect that things will start coming together after the 2011 WWDC:
    "Join us for a preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X. June 6-10. San Francisco. Moscone West."

    But you are right that the Summer does not end until September.

  • Upgrading from Aperture 2-3. What happens to referenced images?

    I'm upgrading from Aperture 2 to 3. I have referenced images on some external hard drives. Will my referenced images be okay and still read correctly from my HD if I upgrade?

    Hi
    I had no problems it retained the Referenced File location info you will have to ensure the externals connected.
    If they are not linked as indicated by a red line through the referenced file icon bottom RH corner
    Select the images that need reconnecting and then go to File / Locate Referenced Files
    You will get a dialogue box which enables you to find the Referenced File/s then click Reconnect or Reconnect All
    I just had to do it because I renamed an external drive
    Hope this helps
