Software update (10.5.8)

Hi,


I've just bought an iPhone 4 and an iPad 4.

My iMac version is 10.5.8. I need to update this version to a later one, so I can synch my new devices with iTunes.


What do I need to do do update the current version of my iMac? Is there any free download? Which one? 10.5.9???


Thank you!!!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

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...

Other countries...

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


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