I have a min-2006 iMac running OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.8, and I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Does anyone know if the system will support it?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
But you may be able to upgrade to Lion:
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Thanks Kappy. Will installing Lion allow me to access the Cloud?
Yes, it will.
Regards.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. Application Compatibility
Yes, Lion will allow access to iCloud.
You can get limited access to iCloud is Snow Leopard. Mail and Calendar work fine, but I can't recommend syncing Address Book/Contacts because it caused me all sorts of problems.
Snow Leopard iCloud - Address and iCal
Thank you!
Make sure you have at least an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and enough memory. Go to the Apple menu in the upper left, and click About this Mac.
Can I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion?
