Where can I find the snow leopard upgrade.  I am currently running leopard 10.5.8

I have been searching through the apple store to upgrade my current os - 10.5.8? To upgrade to lion, it appears I need to have snow leopard 10.6. However, I cannot find the upgrade in the apple store.

Start by checking if you cn run Snow Leopard:
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Whilst Apple have withdrawn Snow Leopard from their stores, you can still get it from Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE (if you are in the USA) and they will supply the SL DVD for $20 for a single user, or $30 for a family pack that covers up to 5 Macs.  You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion from the same number (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:

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.

  • Where can I find the files to upgrade Acrobat 9.0 pro to 9.5.5?

    I have to re-install Acrobat 9.0 Pro and have the files to do that but I need to find the upgrade files to get to 9.5.5.  The Adobe website no longer lists them and Chat says they don't support 9.0 any longer.   This is hardly customer friendly.

    Thanks for the link.  There are, however, several files in each directory for each version.   I presume I can ignore the ones for "extended"  but how do I know which of the others to use.
    For example, in the 9.1 directory there are three .msp files in addition to the one for "extended."

  • My Creative SBS250 speakers no londer work after upgrading to Snow leopard.  Where can I find the driverinstalling

    My Creative SBS250 speakers no longer work after upgrading to Snow Leopard.  Where can I find the driver?  Thanks

    Everyone in my household who has upgraded to Snow Leopard has had the same problems with program crashes and the computer "forgetting" registration codes.
    In fact, after re-entering codes, and then upgrading to 10.6.1, we had to re-enter them again because it forgot (again) that we had bought/registered the software. It was a lot of fun digging through old emails and such looking for the codes, let me tell you.
    I'm pulling a Vista and downgrading my computer back to 10.5.x. That was stable and remembered my software, at least.

  • How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

    I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz  Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8  i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere,  even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
    Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer."   I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

    If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
    As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
    Regards.

  • HT1414 I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?

    I am still on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and do not have iCloud in my System Preferences. I have registered with iCloud online and backed up my iphone5 last night to my iMac. Where can I find the backup on my iMac?
    Below is what comes up when I sign into iCloud - where are all the other applications that I need to backup?
    Appreciate any answers to this query?
    Rachel

    Your question is unclear.  If you're backing up to your iMac, (via iTunes, with cable or WiFi), this has nothing to do with iCloud and the backup is stored on your iMac here:
    : ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

    I running snow leopard on my MBP- where can I find the drivers for windows XP if I install them via bootcamp? Thanks!

    You won't find them until you are in Windows.
    Helps to read even print the guide.
    If you have auto run enabled, which is a security risk, the Apple setup.exe will run.
    Otherwise, just run that.
    Either use your OS X DVD, or use the drivers downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant.
    Two different ways to get them.

  • Have iMac running OSX 10.5.8, where can I find the upgrade?

    have iMac running OSX 10.5.8, where can I find the upgrade?

    Why would that be irritating?? I suspect you are after Mavericks, in order to get Mavericks you have to have the Mac App Store app which did not become available until Snow Loepard 10.6.6. Once you have purchased and installed SL then install the 10.6.8 combo update, run Software Update again and install all suggested updates and finally you can get Mavericks.

  • Where can I find the link to download the upgrade from 5 to Lightroom 6 (stand alone) version?

    Where can I find the link to download the upgrade from 5 to Lightroom 6 (stand alone) version?

    Just to be clear for others who might read this thread: There is a free trial available for both CC and standalone (perpetual license) customers.   The free trial for both sets of customers is called "CC"; but if at the end of the trial you want to convert to a standalone (perpetual) license, it's just as easy as with previous versions.  You pay $149 ($79 if upgrading), get a license key, and enter the key into the free trial.

    You might be able to find the serial number for the older version of Lightroom thru your Adobe account online if you registered it when you installed it.

  • HT1349 Where can I find the antivirus software of my IMAC?

    WHERE can I find the antivirus software of my IMAC?

    There is none. It's already built-in to the OS. You do not need to install any third-party AV software.

  • Where can I find the Lion OS Download

    I have a Macbook from 2007 that I can't update to Mountain Lion on.  I just updated to Snow Leopard and now I want to update to the most current OS I can on my computer.  My first question is, Will Lion work on my computer?  The second question is where can I find the Lion OS to download?

    1. Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check that the computer has a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) or better CPU and at least 2GB of RAM; these are required for using 10.7.
    2. Phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for it.

  • HT5766 Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?

    Hello,
    Where can I find the size of a download for a software update now?
    Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion (Mac OSX 10.8.3) this information is no longer available in software updates listing you get if you click on the Software Update menu item from the Apple menu.
    I found the download size (often hundreds of megabytes for an individual update and sometimes a set of updates might amount to a few gigabytes) to be very helpful, and now that it seems no longer available (I can't even see it on the web page I came to for more information, thinking the download size would surely be specified there), it is frustrating. My current example is iTunes 11.0.3
    I would greatly appreicate having this information back in the software updates listing, but since it is no longer available there, and I don't know where else to find it, if anybody can enlighten me to its whereabouts, I'd be grateful.
    Thanks and cheers!
