How do you update OSX from 10.5.8 to 10.6?

Answer 1

To upgrade from Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) requires the purchase of a copy of Mac Os X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). This is available from Apple stores (See links below) and many other retailers for around $29 (£25) . To be able to run Snow Leopard your Mac needs to have an Intel processor. Macs with older processors (G4 or G5) will not be able to run Snow Leopard and cannot be updated beyond Mac OS X 10.5.x

Answer 2

Mac OS X 10.6 is not available yet. !0.5 is the current version. If your Mac meets the minimum requirements (if it is still running 10.2 it may not) you will need to buy a copy of Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) and install it.

Answer 3

Mac OS X 10. 4 (Tiger) can be updated via Software Update found in the Apple menu. The highest version available is 10.4.11. To upgrade further will require purchasing a copy of either Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) or 10.6 (Snow Leopard) although the latter will not work on older (non-Intel processor) Macs.

Answer 4

To upgrade beyond Mac OS X 10.4.11 you will need to purchase a copy of Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) this can then be updated to the current version 10.5.7.

Answer 5

Buy a MAC OS X Snow Leopard upgrade disk from the Apple Store it only costs $30 for the new OS upgrade.

Answer 6

You should be able to update to Snow Leopard (10.6) by purchasing an installation CD. These CDs are available on the Apple Store website even though they were temporarily removed a while ago.
