Upgrading OS on very old mac

Hi all,
So I have an old mac - here's the spec:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.16 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          4 MB
Memory:          1 GB
Bus Speed:          667 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          IM51.0090.B09
SMC Version (system):          1.9f4
Serial Number (system):          W*********VUV
Hardware UUID:          00000000-0000-1000-8000-0017F2C2A0A6
And wondered if there was anyway of updating/changing the OS - currently 10.5.8
Thanks in advance!
<Personal Information Edited by Host>

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

HT204053 I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music and allowed me to sync it to my iPod. What do I do?

I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music. Now, I have a group of songs that will not sync to my iPod because it is associated with the old AOL account. What do I do?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

I have a very old mac and need to upgrade to snow leopard to update my itunes, my disc drive is not working can i download snow leopard without a disc?

I have an old mac version 10.5.8 I need to update to snow leopard and my disc drive isn't working... Can I download snow leopard without a disc?

Snow Leopard is only available on disk. Furthermore, even if you had a working disk drive, you may not be able to install Snow Leopard anyway, depending on just how "old" your Mac is. It must have an Intel processor to run Snow Leopard (Macs with Intel processors were first made in 2006), among other requirements.

Upgrading? 3 year-old Mac Pro 3.1 with 8 GB RAM

I have a 3-year old Mac Pro (model 3.1) with 8 GB RAM and 2 Quad Core Intel Xeon processors. The RAM consists of 8 x 1 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Two questions:
1) I need tp upgrade my RAM to 16 GB or more to run a new software (memory intensive application). I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to upgrade this system for ~$500 or just buy a new system with newer components. Also, whether the system can effectively use 16 GB of memory
2) Recently my Mac Pro has been very slow and jittery e.g. when I switch between applications. I've already tried things like cleaning up the hard drive / repairing disk permissions with little improvement. The only other thing I can think of doing is wiping the system clean and reinstalling everything. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience, and if there is asomething to do to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks!

you can max out at 32GB
An SSD can make a difference also
Hang in for what/when/if the MacPro6,1
Memory bandwidth OWC
I would add 4 x 4GB to get to 20GB and see how that goes.
Upgrade the hard drive: SSD or 10K WD VR 600GB or something.
Off load your home media data and such to another drive, and go for a lean-mean OS/Apps only boot drive.

Upgraded from some very old Firefox version (16?) and now I'm not getting the new UI

I was having a pretty old version of Firefox (16?) and decided to upgrade it today. So I updated using the following steps:
1) Click orange Firefox menu button
2) Help> About
3) Click Check for updates and click update
But after Firefox updated I noticed that I'm not getting the new UI. Please take a look at the screenshot. I'm seeing the following issues:
* The Aero theme is not present. I'm still getting the old theme. Look at the top - there is no space above the tabs
* Got a huge right click menu (solved after updating Firebug)
* Buttons and UI is still old. Look at the Back/Forward buttons
* Bookmarks button is not present (in the website it shows on the right side next to the search bar)
* The whole browser still feels like the old one only when I'm scrolling around and surfing. I used the ne v22 in my office workstation and that felt more sturdy and crisp. I don't know whether this one is running on the old engine or some update didn't happen properly.
Please see the screenshot attached here: http://oi43.tinypic.com/keaesk.jpg

Bump. Could someone please help me to restore the Aero look to FF?

Getting music and files off a very old Mac issue

Hi, my Mac is pretty old and cannot update from iTunes 7 upwards. I really need to get all my music off iTunes but the WD hard drive won't even register in the profiler. I can't home share onto another system so what is the best solution?

Could you get the model number of the old PowerMac?
At some stage (About 1995) Apple started using IDE rather than SCSI hard drives. If it's an IDE drive then the simple solution is to take the hard drive out of the PowerMac and install it in a Firewire Hard Disk Enclosure.
kind regards

What should I do: Buy a new mac, or try upgrading my 3 year old Mac

Hello, I have a question that I would be grateful for some feedback on.
Background:
I bought the original 2006 white MacBook Core Due (NOT core 2 duo) 2.0 GHz with a 60 GB hard drive and 1 GB of ram. I am still using it. I am running snow leopard.
Symptoms:
My hard drive is almost full, I can barely run 2 apps (eg Mail and Firefox) at the same time without a serious slowdown. I am a budding photographer and my entire iPhoto library is on an external drive as well as my iTunes library. My computer cannot handle RAW photo editing, so I am forced to shoot in JPEG. I am a student at the University of Toronto for Computer Engineering, so I will need some power, but, being a student, I am not rich.
Question:
Do you think that if I upgrade my ram to the max of 2GB (for my model) it will make a large difference? Also, I could upgrade my hard drive to a 500 GB 7200 RPM drive. All this could be done for under $200.
My question is do you think that my resulting system after the above upgrades will be powerful enough? Or will I be forced to buy a new computer. If so I think I would go with the iMac and keep my Macbook for note taking in class.
If anyone out there has done the upgrades I have mentioned, I would be grateful to hear from you about your experiences.
Thanks in advance for your support,
AlwaysApple

if you can, wait until the next update to the macbook pro line. i have a late 07 macbook and was close to buying a new 13" mbp with the free ipod, but i would rather wait for the new intel chips that are more powerful and use less power.

Upgraded my 6 yr. old mac to maverics and it seem to kill it. Any thoughts

Can you reverse to a previous operating system?

How much RAM installed?
Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?
Have you updated all of your third party software if there are OS X Mavericks updates that can be applied. You may need to go the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store.
Update all of your Web browser Internet plugins, also.
Also, if you have any third party devices, like keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card readers, etc, you need to update the drivers for these devices to OS X Mavericks compatible versions.
Please download, install and run Etrecheck.
Etrecheck is a small, unobstrusive app that compiles a snapshot of your entire Mac hardware system and installed software.

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.

I'm new to this! My old mac 0sx 10.2.8 won't switch on. Not sure where to start to fix it? I am totally useless when it comes to computing, can anyone help me please!!

Hi, I am new to this support site so forgive me if I am doing it wrong but I have a problem that I am at a loss as what to do. My (very) old mac 10.2.8 won't switch on..I really only use it for music , there is a vast amount of music stored in it and am heartbroken that it won't even switch on. I have no idea where to start on trying to fix it. Can somebody please help me on where to start on fixing it

You might want to try resetting its power management unit; see the following tech notes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1895
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
The reason I'm suggesting this is that some startup settings are stored and preserved by a tiny battery that lasts about 5 years, inside the computer. When that battery dies, the computer may forget things like what time it is and which disk to start up from. If your Mac is around 5 years old or more, that little battery might be on its way out.
If you can't revive the Mac, don't panic. You can remove its internal hard drive and put it inside a USB/FireWire enclosure so that it can be hooked up to another Mac, and then you can use or copy all of the files and music off of it (assuming the startup problem has nothing to do with the hard drive).

I'm trying to update my very old iPod on my old laptop and it says "Attempting to copy to the disk "Kims iPod" failed. You do not have the privilege to make changes?

I'm trying to update my very old iPod on my old laptop and it says "Attempting to copy to the disk "Kims iPod" failed. You do not have the privilege to make changes. Then another window pops up the ipod 'kims ipod' cannot be synced. you do have the privilage to make changes. Then another saying itunes could not copy "awake (name of track) to the ipod Kims ipdo because an unknown error occured (-61)
What does this mean and how can I fix this? I am operating on a very old mac laptop however it is not the same one that the ipod was set up on ... I have authorised this computer to make changes
Any help would be amazing!

Retrieving Old Mac Programs

Here is my problem. I have a lot of very old Mac programs that I would like to run on my Mac (PowerPC G5) under the Classic environment. These are quite valuable older programs that are not longer available.
These programs are on discs. I am not familiar with the correct designation for these disks but some of them have an "HD" label on them and others are labeled "Double Density 800KB". I purchased and external disk drive, but was not able to read these these old disks.
I think what needs to be done is have the old disks converted using an older Mac and older software into a format that can be read my my G5. Do any of you know of a company that provides such a service?
Do you have other suggestions to help me retrieve these older programs?
Thanks for your help.

PLB11
The mechanics of your intention having been dealt with—although neither Rainer in Germany nor I in Australia can be but an extreme possibility—you will need to consider the logic of the matter also.
If these same applications are not already supported in OS 9 running on an OS 9-bootable Mac (that is, if the applications will not run in OS 9.2.1 at least), you will not be able to use them in the Classic Environment under OS X, and transfers to your G5 will not profit you at all.
Machine-language programs may stand a chance of successfully making the leap (eg WriteNow runs in the CE of OS 10.3.9), but programs with optional (or obligatory) 24-bit operation will probably not survive the transition, nor will those that have no ability to run in a PowerPC (601 processors and later) environment necessarily do so unless they were 'fat binary' (containing the ability to emulate 68K processors).
You may be doing the equivalent of expecting a mediæval barber to replace a cornea successfully. As has been hinted, at least, with the possible exception of machine-language programs, OS 8.0/8.1 may be as modern as you can go, using a 68040 processor probably, or a 60x if you are fortunate.
