What do I need to do to convert my macbook os x version 10.5.8 to version 10.6.6 in order to download the FREE OS X Mavericks?

Please HELP. I have MacBook version 10.5.8. How do I get to version 10.6.6 to be able to get the
FREE OS X Mavericks?

I know people with Macbooks that are 8+ years old that are still chugging along.
It all depends on how you treat your machine and what you do with it. If it does everything that you want it to do and you are happy with the performance, thre is no 'need' to upgrade.
If you are uphappy with the performance of your machine, or the size and weight of your machine and want something faster/smaller/lighter/sexier, then go for an Air and either sell your old Macbook, repurpose it (to say a media server or iTunes server), or pass it along to a family member

I downloaded ios 6 on my iphone. Now I need to download the new version of itunes, which requires the new OS. In order to download the new OS i need to have the app store, which comes with the new OS

I downloaded ios6 on my iphone 4s. Now, to sync to itunes I need the new version of itunes. In order to download the new version of itunes, I need a newer OS. I am fine with downloading a new OS, but it says to download through the app store. My computer doesn;t currently have the app store. What should I do?

In order to get the App Store you must be running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8
To get there you must upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6 which requires an install DVD
You can call Apple and ask them for the install DVD. It will cost $19.95 plus shipping
Once you have upgraded your Mac to Snow Leopard then you need to update it to 10.6.8
Then you will have the App Store you need
Backup first before you start any of the upgrade

If your iMac has a PowerPC processor, Leopard OS 10.5.x is the max OS. If your iMac has an Intel processor, it can run Snow Leopard OS 10.6.x or possibly higher.
Once we know your iMac model, we can better recommend what OS X version.

Locate and purchase a copy of Leopard. They may be found on eBay and Amazon.com. Be sure to only purchase a retail package.
Or you can save a little money by upgrading to Snow Leopard which costs $29.00. If you dec8de to purchase Snow Leopard, you can still purchase a copy from Apple's online store's telesales agents.[1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775.] Ask for a Sales Representative.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.

Read the small print on your power brick. It handles 110 - 240 volts automatically. All you need is a plug adapter to make your current wall plug fit the European wall sockets.

Part of the problem in helping is likely that there is no program Adobe -- that is the company name. You are in the Acrobat forum, but it sounds like you have subscribed to Export PDF or such, a different program. The subscription to Acrobat is currently $19.99 per month.

What kind of network are you on? Home network or corporate? Sometimes corporate network can have proxy servers or other things that could corrupt the downloads.
Others here have noted they have issues if their system is set to something other than English. What language is your system set to? Off chance on this one but I seem to recall seeing something so I figured it woudln't hurt to mention.

Please advise how I install the free trial of Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I started the download process and can see the files in the Downloads folder however the setup screen was hanging so I cancelled. Now I don't know what to do. It goes back to the original download screen

Thanks Pat
I have now brought my daughters laptop into work as she has CS6 so I thought it would be easier to set up her laptop to the work network, set up an email account for her and attempt to email my 270 certificates that way. How wrong was I. First of all Acrobat X Pro would not open so I did a reinstall. Still wouldnt open so I had to find a patch to fix it. I can now open it. When I open Word 2013 and check the options, the PDFMaker is in the active section but when I open word the Adobe toolbar is not appearing. I've opened Acrobat X Pro and have discovered that it's missing a plugin - Convert2AdobePdf (DistillerPI.api) so I'm now in the process to find out how to install this plugin. I have seen through this site that there was a problem with Word 2013 and the Adobe Toolbar which is exactly my new problem. I have to say, after 3 days of trying to perform what you would think is a very simple function, I'm ready to just convert 270 individual pdf's and email them individually, I would have had the job done by now !

I currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 but I need version 10.7.5 or later to download the newest ITunes.

I currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 but I need 10.7.5 or later versions to download the latest ITunes. Please help! I have lost my original updating cd that came with my MacBook. I'm having trouble understanding where I could go and simply download 10.7.5 version or later. It seems like I have to download a whole bunch of versions prior to downloading the version I actually want. Is there a simpler/efficient way?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update. The current iTunes version won't work on 10.6.8.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, upgrade it as if it was a Core Duo Mac, and once done, if desired, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. 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.
