Using OSX10.6.8 need to upgrade what should I upgrade to

My Macbook Pro runs on OSX version 10.6.8.  It started running slow a few days ago I'm concerned about a virus. Want to upgrade to OS but not sure which OS I should upgrade to.  I'm not computer savvy so Im asking what OS should I upgrade to. I've been happy with my mac for 5 yrs. 

My Mac is running normally at this point.  Slow speed is gone.   Here is the report:

  • MacBook Pro 2011 with OS X 10.6.8. what should I upgrade to, for now?

    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8. and I'm unsure about upgrading, but feel the need to. What should I upgrade to, for now? THANK YOU!

    Keep your Snow Leopard installation and test Mavericks on a separate partition or external drive. You will probably want to have both options. Mavericks and anything else after Snow Leopard has changes to the user interface that many of us find pointless and irritating. And you won't be able to use any software that runs via Rosetta in Snow Leopard. You will have to upgrade software that needs Rosetta to a later version, or get something else entirely.

    Hello @chavanjayesh2001... I wanted to give you some tips for when you can't update the software of your phone:
    -Make sure that the Internet connection is good. If the update process is interrupted it might be due to loss of Internet connection.
    -Try using another USB cable and usb port in your computer.
    -Try using another PC.
    -Temporary disable any firewalls and or antivirus software.
    -Start your PC in “Safe mode with networking” mode. This is done by pressing F8 during PC boot. When Windows is started in safe mode, try taking the update again.

    Well, what is your problem?
    If you are entering your serial number and being told you have used up your activations, you will need to contact Adobe to have your activation count reset
    This is an open forum, not Adobe support... you need Adobe staff to help
    Adobe contact information - http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
    -Select your product and what you need help with

  • HT1338 I am trying to get my system current.  I am now running Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 (I believe this is "Snow Leopard".  What should I upgrade to?

    I am trying to get my system current.  I am now running Mac OS X, version 10.6.8 (I believe this is "Snow Leopard").  What should I upgrade to?

    The current system is OS X 10.8 which is downloadable from the App store, which you can upgrade to directly if your system meets the system requirements.  Note that starting with OS X 10.7, PowerPC-based programs will no longer run. So, for example, people with Office 2004 got surprised when they upgraded and found that the older Office programs would no longer run. Newer Office programs are OK.

    I'm running OS X what should I upgrade to?

    Hi,
    If your forum info is up to date, you're currently running OS X 10.5.8 Leopard. If you want to update to the more recent versions like Lion or Mountain Lion when it's released, you first have to buy Snow Leopard, which is version 10.6. You can still get that on the online Apple Store here or at any Apple Retailer (I think).
    Hope that helps you out, feel free to ask anything else.

    Hi vanessato,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I recommend these troubleshooting steps if your iPhone does not turn on.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy
