  • Upgrading from OSX 10.4.9 to OSX 10.6.8 on old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer)

    Greetings
    I was wondering what the steps and cautions are to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 on an old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer for shared use in household for emails, etc.) 2.33 Inel Core 2 Duo to OSX 10.6.8 or highest that I can?

    You will need to get a 10.6 Snow Leopard retail disk which I don't think are still available from Apple.
    Google "buy mac 10.6 snow leopard" to get an idea of current pricing. You'll need updates to10.6.8  in order to upgrade to 10.7 (the early core duo MBPros can not do this) or possibly 10.8 but check the exclusion list to be sure.

  • How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    How can I upgrade from OSX 10.7 to 10.9 on my 2012 mac mini? (2.3 GHz, 4 GB, 500 GB SATA disk) I don't want OSX Yosemite.

    If your Mini shipped with OS X 10.7 Lion, then it was considered a 2011 build model, or before.
    The Mini 2012 model, is considered a Late 2012, & the last one where RAM could be upgraded.
    And it shipped with Mountain Lion 10.8, which is a fairly OK system if one had older software.
    (However mine shipped in Dec 2014, with Mavericks 10.9.0, and was built in January 2014.)
    There were a few different build versions of Late 2012 Mac Mini, the i5 or i7 processor,
    in dual-core or quad-core, and some CTO or built-to-order versions with other specs.
    You can buy Mountain Lion from online Apple Store, & use a download code emailed to you to
    get the Mt. Lion 10.8 from Apple Servers; this would be about it, since Mavericks isn't available.
    So hopefully that is an option you can exercise; in addition the computer may prefer more RAM.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I upgrade from OSX 10.7.5 to OSX 10.8.5

    I need to upgrade from OSX 10.7.5 to OSX 10.8.5 in order to use Avid Pro Tools 10 and 11 on the same iMac.
    My iMac is 2.5GHz Core i5. Pro Tools 10 will not work on OSX 10.9 and Pro Tools 11 needs 10.8.5 or 10.9.4. Not certified for Yosemite.

    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS?

    I've encountered 4HDD/11/40000000 SATA(0,0). AFTER SOME RESEARCH IN APPLE COMMUNITY, I LEARNT THAT IT'S A HARDWARE ISSUE. SO I WILL BE TAKING MY MACBOOK PRO TO NEAREST APPLE STORE. MY QUE IS, WILL IT BE FIXED IF I UPGRADE FROM OSX 10.8.5 TO MAVERICKS? What other options do I have? What can be an approximate cost for fixing this problem?

    Of course not. It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by upgrading software. The only option you have got is to take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller.
    That error indicates a problem with the hard drive. What you have to do is to make a backup of your files and take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller, so they can confirm that the problem is the hard drive and not the SATA connector, which could be worse.
    If it's a hard drive issue, it's not expensive (about $100-200, depending on the hard drive). If it's a SATA connector issue, the whole logic board may have to be replaced.
    Note that you can replace the hard drive yourself if you want, but the cost between doing it yourself and taking the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller is similar

    When upgrading from osx 10.7.4 to osx mountain lion I get the following Alert!  This update requires OS X version 10.8.

    Sounds like you downloaded the 10.8.1 update instead of the Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store.
    You have to purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store to get to 10.8

  • Can I upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ ??

    I was wondering if I could upgrade from osx tiger v10.4.11 to osx Snow Leopard v10.6 for 29$ or at a lower cost than full price. I do not need to upgrade that much because 10.4.11 is so great and I hate to leave it. Paying the full price of an operating system does not make sense to me. Can I do it cheaply because I am upgrading?

    No.
    The $29 upgrade is from leopard to Snow Leopard.

    What is the best way to backup my computer before upgrading from OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6? I just purchased a WD portable external hard drive.

    Use Carbon Copy Cloner http://www.bombich.com/index.html or SuperDuper.  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html  Both make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive.

  • Upgrading from OSX 10.2.4

    Hullo.
    I must point out that I am a total novice with regard to computers. I've got an eMac & I want to upgrade from OSX 10.2.4 to 10.2.8 but I have a message that it's failed to mount due to error 95 ( no mountable file system ) & would appreciate any thoughts as to overcome this.
    Many thanks,
    cptsnapper

    You have a bad download. If you are downloading via a dialup this is likely to happen because of the size of the file. If you have a broadband connection, then re-download the file. Also, be sure you download the 10.2.8 Combo Updater: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxupdatecombo10_28.html.

  • Upgraded from osx snow leopard to lion and still no iCloud

    Upgraded from osx snow leopard to lion and still no iCloud settings in System Preferences, why?

    I have the exact same issue, and no Profiles for me under System. My system was upgraded from 10.6 as soon as Lion came out and I've never had the icon.
    I have had iCloud set up by creating an account within Mail, Contacts & Calendars - but in this setup my Mobile Documents folder, my iCloud "Documents and Data", never synchronized with my other devices. That is why I began wondering why I don't have the iCon as I have seen other Macs that came with 10.7 installed factory.
