mac os x update

my software is OS X 10.5.8 and when I try to update it to 10.6.8 it tells me that it requires 10.6 or higher. I have the software updater and everytime I check for a software update it says there aren't any. What should I do now?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6)

Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x


It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.


Do this first...


Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...


Snow Leopard Tech Specs

If so Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...

In the US...

1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775



After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.



Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
