Upgrade to Lion 10.7 - Do I have to pay for 2 Upgrades? 10.6.8 & Lion 10.7

I have Mac OS 10.5.8. To get Lion, do I first have to pay $30 for Snow Leopard v10.6.8, then another $30 for Lion 10.7

Yes, that is correct. Go to any Apple Store to purchase a Snow Leopard DVD for $29.00. Upgrade your computer to Snow Leopard for access the the App Store (need 10.6.6 or later) where you can purchase and download Lion for $29.99.

Bought a new mac last weekend do I have to pay for Mountain Lion

I bought a MacBook Air on Saturday but it didn't have Mountain Lion installed. Do I have to pay for an upgrade?

No, go to http://www.apple.com/osx and then Upgrade and go to the up-to-date program and register your purchase. You will receive an email with a redemption code to download ML for free.

Why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion

why do we have to buy mountain lion when we bought lion? Others who didn't purchase lion don't have to pay for it to move to mountain lion.

As far as I know the only people not having to pay for Mountain Lion are the ones that have purchased a apple computer after the 4th of june or something. These people get a free upgrade. All others will have to pay for a copy of Mountian Lion.
Do you maybe have a source, which states that others don't have to pay for it, where people that have bought Lion do have to pay?
With kind regards,
Wes

IPhoto upgrade, do i have to pay for it ?

Hey Ho chaps, i have been having a right merry go round today, simply helping a lady upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks so that she can use Photo Stream on her new iPhone 4S
it has NOT helped that she didnt know what her computers password was etc. but i do NOW have Mavericks installed and it is currently Indexing for Searches !
So i try to configure iPhoto to enable Photo Stream, it looks as if i have to PAY for it ???? £10.49 !!!
I have Photo Stream on my Mavericks but i dont remember having to pay for iPHOTO !!!!!!
This lady was told by the local Apple Store when she got the iPhone that to get Photo Stream on her Mac Book Pro she would have to upgrade her Snow Leopard to at least LION, which would have cost her £15 !!, but to pay for iPhoto ???? when it should come pre-installed !
However today, she found that LION is no longer available on the App Store or anywhere else for that matter !.
So she got MAVERICKS for free and let me take her Lap Top home with me to Backup Snow Leopard and Install Mavericks.\
Only to find she gotta pay to get a suitable version of iPhoto for PHOTO STREAM !!!
AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACK here, or have i been de-railed ?

Clarify for your self:
iPhoto 11 is a marketing name for iPhoto 9
iPhoto 09 is a marketing name for iPhoto 8
So, what has she got.
iPhoto 11 is around a while and early versions of it run on 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8. So it's quite possible that a machine that came with 10.6 and iPhoto 11 would have had all these features as the app was updated. But if that's iPhoto 09 then you need to purchase.

If I downloan Mac osx lion, does that mean that i will have to pay for Mac osx mountain lion

If I download Mac os x lion, does that mean that i will have to pay for Mac os x mountain lion? or will it be like an upgrade for free?
I am just not to sure as to whether I buy it now or later? Please help.
Thanks.

If you do not find Lion or Mountain Lion features compelling, I recommend you not buy it AT ALL!
10.6.8 works for most of the stuff I do, and I only got 10.7 to play with it.
If you are using
Photoshop CS2
AppleWorks
Word 2004 or earlier
Quicken 2007 or earlier
Eudora 6
FileMaker 6
look long and hard at 10.7 -- these Applications along with hundreds of other less-popular titles are no longer supported in these versions!!

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

I can not upgrade from version 9.1.5 to 9.2.3 on my IMAC free?? I have to pay for this upgrade?

That is a free update (not an upgrade) what happens when you try? How are you trying to update? did your Mac come with restore disks or did you download software form teh App Store? Have you logged onto the App store and checked purchased software for updates?

HT4906 I just upgraded iphoto, but it is version 7.1.5 (and called iPhoto 8). Do I have to pay for iPhoto 9 in order to use photo stream?

To use Photo Stream, you will need iPhoto 9.2 at least. This is a major upgrade from iPhoto 7.1.5 and you will have to buy it.

My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account but all now on a separate computer. If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account?

My itunes library has organically grown from more than one itunes account (all paid for by me) but all now on a separate computer. If I upgrade to iTunes match will I have to pay for each account or just once, for the computer?

No. Provided the computer that you use to upload / match your Songs is authorised to play all of the Songs all works well - once complete you can download Song files that will play on your libraries / other computers without each computer having to be authorised.

HT202879 Other Word Processors than Pages? & why do we have to pay for an upgrade that is incomplete?

I am very unhappy.
In order to access my documents from iCloud I have to upgrade to Mavericks (free, alright) and the new Pages, for which I have to pay.
The new Pages (and Numbers etc) does not have the same functionality as the one I have been using - yet I have to pay for it. Alright, Apple promises to upgrade in the next six months and add the new functionality. This is not good enough.
This was a very unpleasant surprise today - when I went to my document that I have been working on on my iPhone and my Mac at various times during the day and the Mac one had changed to 'Untitled 47' and the version on my iPhone would not open on my Mac unless I upgraded to the new Pages - $19.99 - and to OSX Mavericks - free - but I don't want to upgrade yet. And I don't want to pay for a new version of Pages that clearly does not have the same functionality(according to the user comments and the apple page that this discussion is about).
I have praised Apple to high heaven for the functionality of iCloud. But this really really annoys me.
If there's anything I hate its a company I am relying on forcing me to upgrade before they've sorted out the bugs.
I am definitely considering changing to a different company's word processor - if only they had a word processor that I could use on my Mac and iOS devices.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks Tom! Following your advice I posted a (shorter) version at feedback.
And thanks for those hints. Yes I've been looking at those ones.
IA Writer and Byword both can use the iCloud.
Writeroom only syncs using Dropbox.
Of course they're very minimal apps compared to Pages, or Word.
I feel very depressed.
Perhaps I will have to use one of these and then import into Word for final editing.
Believe it or not, for a minute I thought MS Word might be a contender for iOS syncing - because there is this thing called Office 365. But look at the reviews.

I really don't want to deal with all the problems of updating to Mavericks just now.

I just bought a Mac Book Pro and why do I now have to pay for the OS X upgrade?

I just bought a Mac Book Pro about a month ago and now I have to pay for the OS upgrade!!! Is there anyway to avoid this charge?

Click on the  in the top left corner, then About This Mac. The version number will be listed right under OS X.
If it is something like 10.8.3 or 10.8.4 (anything starting with 10.8.x), you can click Software Update to download 10.8.5 for free.

Perhaps try following this alternative Up to Date link instead https://uptodate.apple.com/us/uptodate/macosx/
If that does not solve the issue, I would recommend contacting Apple customer service once they open tomorrow.

Do i have to pay for the upgrade on garageband when it was pre-installed?

Everytime i open garageband it tells me there is an upgrade available. My question is do i have to pay for upgrade because it was pre-installed in my macbook air. The little rectangle thingy you click to purchase where it says the price or free, just says upgrade but off to the side of the page in the information box its price says $14.99. so im confused on whether or not the upgrade is free. The pre-installed is GarageBand '11 version 6.0.3 the upgrade is to GarageBand '11 6.0.5

New Macs come with iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand for free. In your case, the price that appears on the side of the page is only the price of the application for Macs that didn't come with GarageBand '11 or for users that want to upgrade from an older GarageBand version, like '08 or '09. You have GarageBand '11, so press the Upgrade button without worrying about paying for the application, and you will get the most recent GarageBand for free

Do you have to pay for the macbook upgrade?

Hey guys! I recently bought a used MacBook os x 10.5.8, I changed the admin user ( http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-73393-change-mac-admin-password-without-the-d isk ) And now I want to access the mac app store, but now I hear that you have to upgrade your mac to do that, but before upgrading I have one question: Do you have to pay for the upgrade, because people say that you have to pay 30$ and on the youtube I see that you can easily press the "Software update" and you just folow some further steps such as ''next'' , wait few minutes and it's done ! So I don't get it !!! or maybe if you entered the credit card details on iTunes it will charge you automatically ? Yeah, that's my question
