I have a MacBook Pro that is currently running on Mac OS X 10.5.8 but the new 10.6.7 update is now out. When I run the Software Update Check it says my Mac is up to date although it is obviously not. How do I get it to update to Mac OS X 10.6.7?

iTunes has also been taking forever to load. I have tried to use the disk utilities clean up to repair disk permissions... I don't know what else to do. Thanks for your help!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Snow Leopard (10.6.X) is a paid upgrade. You will need to purchase the retail DVD for Snow Leopard ($29 US)

In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --

When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.


For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.

All other updates have been free and downloadable. So I'm not a 10.6.7.


10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.

10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8

10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.


Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.

After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.
