I am using 10.8.5. This week Intuit announced that the minimum OS X version for Quicken is now 10.9.
How do I update the OS on my 10.8.5 partition?
Mac Pro (Early 2008), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), Cinema Display (2008)
Iām sorry for choosing the wrong Community. Tried to change it but couldnāt.
Back up your data,check your applications for compatibility, and download El Capitan from the Mac App Store.

Thanks for your reply. But Iām not interested in going to El Capitan. My old Mac Pro is the oldest supported hardware that is qualified to run El Capitan. I know what that means: very slow.
If there is a way to update my 10.8.5 partition to 10.9.5, Iād like to know. Iāve spent a lot of time on Apple Support, and there is no updater to go to 10.9. Clearly when 10.9 was released, there were updaters to go from 10.8.5 to 10.9. Apparently they are all gone,
If you previously downloaded Mavericks from the Mac App Store, log into it with the same Apple ID and click on the Purchases tab. If not, go to a physical Apple Store and ask.

Just for thought, I have an early 2008 Mac Pro as well, and I went ahead and upgraded to El Capitan. It runs great! Much faster, and I've been very happy with the new Operating System. I never upgraded to Mavericks, went straight from Mountain Lion to Yosemite, and then on to El Capitan. You should definitely check your applications for compatibility, as I lost access to a couple, but all-in-all it's been a good move for me. I've got 32GB Ram and 4TB disk in the Mac Pro.
Cheers,

A somewhat misleading summary of Intuit's announcement, so I will print it in its entirety here:

Mikey,
The point of my post was to find information about updating from 10.8.5 to 10.9.
The last time I looked, this is a Mac Group, not a Quicken group.

Look again!
This forum also provides questions/answers for software on the Mac, including but not limited to Quicken!

Since your statement is inaccurate and others using the search term "Quicken" will be directed to your inaccurate information, I posted Intuit's complete statement which, by definition, is more informative.
These are the worst customer ratings since Apple moved from System 8 to System 9.
I could not connect to the Internet, even though the previous OS had all the settings.
Who releases this junk? I miss you Steve.
Going from 10.8.5 to 10.9.5
