Can not update 10.6.8 to El Capitan.

I try to update macbookpro with 10.6.8 ios to El Capitan but get pop up in app store that says : "To make changes to your payment information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest version of macOS."

I can't change it anywhere, and probably it's not needed as payment info is valid I believe. What should I do to be able to update Ios?

Im on the 10.8.5 operating system. When I try to update to macOS Mojave, I get a prompt saying I need to have my billing information before I can download the update. The next prompt says I need the latest version of macOS to update payment info. Help!

Upgrading Snow Leopard to El Capitan Followed instructions from Apple to download from App Store. Getting error message from App Store "can't change payment info" and something about needing to upgrade os before downloading. So how do I get around this? FYI I've updated Snow Leopard before starting.

Upgrading from Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) to El Capitan I have a catch 22 situation. I want to upgrade from Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) to El Capitan (OS 10.10) on my 5.2 white Macbook. On the Mac store I can see El Capitan (see attached screenshot), but when I try to download it I get a 'Verification required' notice asking me to update my billing info. When I click the Billing Info button, I get "Software Update Required' which is exactly what I am trying to do. So basically I can't upgrade my OS to Yosemite without upgrading my OS. Grrr! Any ideas? ps: Oddly on the App Store on my OS 10.12.6 Macbook Pro, I can't find the El Capitan installer...
