Q: How can I update my Mac OSX 10.5.8 to 10.6 or higher when my computer tells me my computer is up to date? The new version of itunes doesnt work with my current version of OSX and therefore I cant sync my ipad :(

This is what I meant buy the downloadable version on the link provided, instead of trying to buy a hard copy of it.

Clear that I have to do backup, thanks.

The Snow Leopard link that I provided is NOT a download version.

It is a link to purchase an actual physical  retail installation disc that you will receive in the mail.

There is NO direct "Web/Internet" download of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

You have to purchase and use a physical installation disc.

Your MacBook year and model can only have its OS X upgraded to OS X 10.7 Lion using a special purchased email sent download code to download OS X 10.7 Lion from the Mac App Store.

Once OS X 10.7 Lion is initially installed, you can update the OS through the Mac App Store to OS X 10.7.5 Lion.

And even at that, for best performance, your MacBook model can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM.

Newer versions of OS X really need all the RAM that a particular Mac model can hold for best performance.

Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (http://www.macsales.com).

OWC is the only supplier of the 6 GB RAM kit found here.

My browser is  Mac OSX 10.5.8 (Snow Leopard) my question is do I have to buy every disk to upgrade it to the latest browser ?

Do I have to buy the 10.6  and Mountain Lion 10.7 or can I just skip them and go directly to a later browser ???

Thank you.   

You need 10.6, upgraded specifically 10.6.8 to go higher, then Yosemite will be free, Lion & Mountain Lion can be purchased for $20 with a call to Apple if you want either of those.

The answer is earlier in this thread, please read through it.

I followed this link and it seemed like Greek to me http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.2-white -13-late-2007-santa-rosa-specs.html 

I read through the thread but as I said as a new mac user I am not looking at anything familiar on that page.

You need to call Apple & purchase 10.6 Install Disc, then update to 10.6.8 to get any higher.
