The first step in Upgrading... is to 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... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

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...



Next... Check that you can run Moumtain Lion...


Upgrade to Mountain Lion



With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using...
