update to 0S 10.5

It seems more and more it is required that I use Mac OS 10.5 and higher. Would gladly upgrade if I could figure out where to get the upgrade from. Seems it is no longer available. Any ideas of how to upgrade without buying an entirely new system. Everything works well. Applications are paid for and still do the trick. Just loosing the ability to upgrade to many various needed plug ins, etc. : (

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Since you have an Intel Mac, it's probably better to skip 10.5 and phone the Apple Store to order Mac OS X 10.6.

Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...


General requirements

* Mac computer with an Intel processor

* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)

* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)

* DVD drive for installation

* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.

* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.


Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...

It's been pulled from the online store, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard, but quick, call before it's gone!


Call Apple 1-800-MY-APPLE


You have to get 10.6.8 first to go even higher to 10.7 or 10.8

Hey Niel Niel and BDAqua!


Great news!


I was able to order the Snow Leopard 10.6 from Apple for $19.99.

he Apple expert recommended to upgrade through (blue)Apple/Software Update right away to 10.6.8. Along with that many things were updated in the installation process!


I feel good!


It feels right!


So far so good. No conflicts yet. Let me know if you think I should be on the look out for anything CRAZY.


Want to make this old MacBook friend last.


Thanks so much! R
