Upgrading from 10.3.9 to latest possible version

I have a PowerPC dual 1.8GHz G5...what is the most recent version of OS X that can run on this machine? 10.5? If so, which version do you recommend that is the most stable?

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate

  • I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

    I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?
    I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

    Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
    Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
    Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
    Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
    Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
    Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
    Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
    Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
    Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
    Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
    Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
    Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

  • Where can I find the link to download the upgrade from 5 to Lightroom 6 (stand alone) version?

    Where can I find the link to download the upgrade from 5 to Lightroom 6 (stand alone) version?

    Just to be clear for others who might read this thread: There is a free trial available for both CC and standalone (perpetual license) customers.   The free trial for both sets of customers is called "CC"; but if at the end of the trial you want to convert to a standalone (perpetual) license, it's just as easy as with previous versions.  You pay $149 ($79 if upgrading), get a license key, and enter the key into the free trial. 

  • I have a 2007 MacBook and I want to install the latest possible version of OS X. What version is that?

    Like I said, I have a mid-2007 MacBook (note that it is NOT a MacBook Pro) and I want to install the latest possible version of OS X on it. I would like to know what the latest version that it can handle is. I know that the latest version of OS X is Mavericks, but I'm pretty sure that won't work on it, so will Lion or Snow Leopard?

  • Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

    Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

  • Cisco 1141N AP upgrading from 12.4 to the latest version 12.x

    Hi,
    I purchased the 1141n AP.  Last year when in May, I called Cisco support for help.  He told me it, the 1141n  would not works alone, it needs the controller.  However, He also stated that the new version of IOS will be working as the access point alone.
    So I have it, donwload the latest software c1140-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar from Cisco.com.
    Is this the correct version for 1141N and can it work as stand alone now, or acting as the extended WDS extended from the other AP like Apple Extreme.?
    please advice.
    Thanks

    Did you buy a 1141LAP or 1141AP? If you bought an LAP, you are going to have to transfer that IOS image you downloaded to your 1141 using xmodem, TFTP, or borrow your buddy's controller, associate your lwap to it, and revert it to IOS. I don't recall how to do it using xmodem (it's a pain and takes forever anyway), but here's the documentation of how to do it using a TFTP server:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp161272
    If you bought a 1141AP, you're in luck! Just plug that bad boy into your router, grab the ip, navigate to the http server of it using that ip, and configure away using the web gui! From there, you can even upgrade to the latest version of IOS very easily!
    Good luck!

  • Upgrading from 10.3.9 to latest OS?

    I am currently using OS 10.3.9 and would like to upgrade to the latest version possible.
    I have 933MHz PowerPC G4 2MB L3 cache, 512MB SDRAM. And running 10.3.9.
    as i just got the new iphone4, and this wouldn't connect with itune or any other programmes. As the OS don't support newer programmes.
    In this case i will new to upgrade.
    How should i go about this?

    nugentc,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    Your eMac is a solid piece of kit. For both OSX 10.4 (Tiger) and OSX 10.5 (Leopard) you're going to need to add more / new RAM, and buy the new OS of course.
    eBay or Craigslit for all of it.
    OSX 10.4 will be considerably cheaper, and will allow you to continue to run more of your software, especially any Classic Mac OS (OS 9) apps and games.
    If it's a 1GHz, you'll need PC133 SDRAM suitable for Mac, and two 512MB sticks is about as high as you can go. They're usually about £6-£8 each in the UK for the Mac compatible stuff, Non-ECC / Unregistered / unbuffered. And a good quality brand name, Micron / Crucial or Kingston. OSX 10.4 and OSX 10.5 are extremely fussy about memory quality, so this is a point you can't ignore.
    OSX 10.5 is still sought after, so can be expensive, OSX 10.4 goes for between £15 and £30 in the UK.
    A quick note on the memory, PC133 sticks don't get much bigger than the 512MB sticks you're going to want, so there's a lot of demand for them. When a bargain comes up on eBay, etc, you have to check the details quick and Buy.
    If ou acciendtally buy non-Mac compatible stuff, the 512MB sticks sell again quickly anyway, and maybe for more than you paid for them.
    So scan eBay or similar for a while, and also consider looking for someone selling an eMac wih everything you need, It could work out cheaper if the postage is not too high or if its a local collect.

  • Do I have to pay to upgrade from iPhoto '09 to the latest version?

    I just bought my first iPhone (the 6), and I want to automatically transfer photos from my (and my wife's) iPhone 6, to iPhoto.  I am using iPhoto '09 and I believe I have to upgrade it to the latest version to make that happen.  I went to the App store to upgrade, but it wants to charge me $14.99.  I thought we didn't have to pay for upgrades any longer if we owned a legit previous version (came pre-installed when I bought my Mac in 2009.  Can anyone shed any light on this?  Or, recommend another app?  Thanks.

    Yes
    backup your iPhoto library and purchase the latest version of iPhoto (version 9.5.x) from the App store
    If you own any version of iPhoto '11 it is a free update - if you own older versions like iPhoto '09 it is a paid upgrade

  • IMac G3 upgrade from os9 to osx 10.2 possible? Please reply asap

    Hi, i have a apple iMac G3 DV strawberry machine currently running os9.0.4, it has 20gb hardrive and 256mb RAM.
    Is is possible to upgrade the machine straight to OSX 10.2 with the original disks based on the specifications i have given?
    Please reply asap, as i would like to get it up and running for my partner

    If the iMac's CPU speed is 333MHz or below, you need to partition the drive so that the first partition is less than 8GB, and then install Mac OS X onto that partition.
    If the iMac's CPU speed is 350MHz or above, you need to update to 9.1, and then run the iMac firmware updater.

  • I just upgraded from i-tunes 10 to i-tunes version 11.1.3 in order to sync my i-phone.  All my libraries now come up now as one combined library, which makes it frustrating  and difficult to find my songs.  Can I have both the 10 and the new 11.1.3 on ?

    I had to upgrade  to i-tunes 11.1.3  from my old i-tunes 10  so that my i-phone could get synced to i-tunes. I used to have several i-tunes libraries on my computer for various subjects.  Like for movies, bird recordings, and  songs I wrote myself. Now when I open i-tunes all the libraries open up at once in one library, it is completely reorganized,  making it almost impossible to find my old songs, playlists, movies, etc.  I just got done organizing my libraries, and now its all confused and Im terribly frustrated. How can I get my old organization back, and is it possible to have several libraries again, or both the old and new i-tunes on the same hard drive? Anyone have any advice how to organize my new i-tunes ?

    What a waste of space to paste the code.
    Why not ask in the iLife > iPhoto forum where your question belongs.
