What operating system comes after Mac os x 10.5.8

I would like to update my laptops operating system to the current Mountain system.  I currently have Mac os x 10.5.8.  I know you have to have a higher operating system to upgrade.
What operating system do I have to update to after Mac os x 10.5.8? 

10.6.3.Snow leopard.   And subject to the specs on your computer you can go upwards from there to 10.6.8.
Minimum specs for Snow leopard.   http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
Minimum specs for Lion.    http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/leopard_install-setup.pdf
    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

    You will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first - if your Mac can run it:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $30.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number.
    If you are outside the US call your national Apple Helpline:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    If you're in the UK, use this number: 0871 508 4400
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • What is the current operating system on a Mac laptop?

    I'm shopping for a Mac laptop...what is the current operating system for a mac laptop?

    Mavericks is no longer available from Apple — unless you purchase an older refurb unit from Apple that still has it installed. Yosemite 10.10.0 (now 10.10.2) superseded it. Mavericks came with my May 2014 MacBook Air, and I had no issues with Mavericks, or applications on it. I subsequently upgraded to Yosemite, because I prefer to stay current — and have had no issues with Yosemite either.

  • Windows 8 FAQ: After upgrading, what Operating System will I have after Windows 8 Repair?

    Question:
    Once I upgrade to Windows 8, if I need to send my PC back to HP for hardware repair, what operating system will be running on my system?
    Answer:
    For most repairs, the PC will be returned with the Windows 8 operating system intact.  However, if the system repair requires, for example, a new PC hard drive, then a re-image of the PC will be required, and the original shipping operating system will be re-installed

    No Message. Please refer to the solution above.

    If you are running 10.6.8 you can download 10.9 from the App Store and install it with going through 10.7 and 10.8 first. 10.9 Mavericks is a free download in the App Store.
    10.9 Mavericks will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.9 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Mavericks doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Mavericks.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • Using two seperate operating systems on a Mac, and a smart-phone to better integrated the flows!

    I am considering to get a new Mac.
    In that I want to be able to use two seperate operating systems. The Mac operating system and maybe either a windows or linux or an other useful and functional alternative!
    The reason for this is, that I have several laptops incl. an iPad. I have concluded that iPad isnt that useful for my needs till now, its not very functional for my needs. I am also going to upgrade my smart mobile still considering functional alternatives (would like to hear yoru thoughts about this as well)!
    I want to integrate them into one machine only and utilize cloud  and / or an external Disk, and be better able to use useful apps and software that are not available on either one of the systems on their own my own system!
    Usage will be both for biz and private, but at the end usefulness, and functionality will play a big part in my final decision!
    Do you think this is practical, useful and cost effective way doing it the way I want to do?

    My reason for wanting to have windows on my Mac is to be able to utilize, some applications that are not available for Mac OS!
    In the past I raised few points relating to that, and wasnt able locate details to consider to have only a Mac system. Thats why I had to have few laptops to handle all! I got myself an iPad(1) but again it didnt met the exact needs that I have!
    Thats why I am going to integrate all in one new system(Mac), and exchange and process while on the road via smartphone or something that is between a smartphone and tablet!
    As to smartphones; I hear positive notes on iPhone, but seems to have some issues with its antena, the new Moterola seems great to exchange files anywhere, and the new Samsung Galaxy, very advanced. However what I lack at this stage is user experiences to see if any of them can meet my needs, and what the best combination could be for efficiency, speed and value for money(laptop, operating sytem, smartphone).
    I am tired of crashes, frozen screens, or not able to open files or pics because they are not compatible in some ways! I try to maintain, clean and update my systems, but some stuff does comes in between despite all!
    Anyhow, thank you for your support, I will try to do some reading on the keywords you used, I might get back to you for some more leads!
    Thank you once again!:)

  • Two Operating Systems on One Mac

    The Avid software is really finicky (more so than fcp) about what OS you're running with it. We have the opportunity to get the avid media composer software version for real cheap (relatively), but I hesitate because it will mean that I can't upgrade my OS when I want to, without running the risk of breaking Avid or having to shell out more cash to get Avid running again.
    So, is it possible to have 2 different operating systems on one mac? So, for the Avid system, I'll just have the perfect OS for that version of Avid (currently OS 10.4.9), and basically nothing else except necessary software for editing. And for the 2nd system, I'd have FCP and whatever OS works best for that? Would I need 2 physical internal hard drives for that work, and then just set my startup disk as needed, depending on which editing software I want to use?

    Here's the link to Apple's free Boot Camp, if you want to download and try that out:

    Hope that helps

  • What operating system will i need to restore my macbook?

    I have the Februrary 2008 macbook. I bought it about a week ago off someone on gumtree. It hadn't been restored so i figured the grey installation ones would work. After erasing the content on the hard drive i inserted disk 1. After then selecting what language it popped up saying 'OS X cannot be installed on this computer.' After looking at the grey disk again it said 2007 so i'm guessing it was the wrong one. Anyway i was wondering if i just buy an operating system off Apple would i be able to install it correctly? Basically i can't access my macbook and i have no clue what operating system to buy because i'm new to mac. Thanks for the help!

    Phone Apple and order replacement original disks; if you want, you can buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store instead, but won't get iLife or the Apple Hardware Test.

    Josejanko,
    You don't supply much info other than your machine is old, so here is some info for you to check thru.
    Before doing anything you should have a back up, preferably 2, in the event something goes wrong.
    You would have to start by upgrading to Snow Leopard, you would need to buy the disk for about $20 here  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard  
    Check the the requirements to see if your machine meets them.
    You would then need to run the 10.6.8 v1.1 combo update to get it to 10.6.8 Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    You can then access the APP STORE and possibly upgrade to to further OSX.
    You may have applications that will not be compatible with any thing past Snow Leopard, you can check those here Upgrading to 10.7 and above, don't forget Rosetta!
    http://roaringapps.com/apps
    Office 2008 will not work with anything newer than Snow Leopard for an wxample
    You may be able to upgrade to Lion or MT Lion or Yosemite, depending on your machine, from the APP STORE.

    Just to avoid confusion - during provisioning, the phone is downloading a configuration from remote server. Phone is client. Provisioning process require a server (HTTP or FTP or TFTP) running somewhere.
    You are speaking about browser, not server, so it seems you are speaking about manual configuration of phone, not the provisioning. Even in the case you are speaking about server, you speaking about upgrade of OS, not the provisioning (HTTP/FTP/TFTP) server software. On the other side, you are speaking about "initial profile downloads from Windows 7" asking about browser versions. I'm confused. Can you explain what are you trying to do in more details ?
    Something like: "I did A, expecting B as result but C happened".
    Debug/log from phone device and/or catched communication between browser and phone and/or phone and provisioning server may help to analyze the problem.
