10.5.8 upgrade from?

Hello

I use an older imac, it is running os version 10.5.8. (haven't touched over the years)

I want to upgrade to a new version of the os I want to run this program as: Lightroom and Photoshop Elements.

Please help me because I have no idea how to update as it says that my operating system is up-to-date.

ID be happy with either of the following: Yosemite or El Capitan.

Thank you

Please read software update, upgrade - what is the difference?-Apple Support

Upgraded OS X read please upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support. You will need to scroll down to the section called is not the Mac App Store , which will include a link to buy Snow Leopard. This is where you need start.

After installing Snow Leopard, you can switch to El Capitan by following the instructions contained in this document support. Do not neglect recommendation of Apple on the backup of your Mac.

There is no additional cost to upgrade to El Capitan. You can consider installing additional memory. Your iMac can handle up to 8 GB of RAM. I recommend that you buy from a source memory housed Macs. The only providers that I can personally recommend are Crucial and OWC / MacSales. Avoid the PC-centric vendors, since they often sell RAM that is unresponsive to the strict specifications of Apple.

  • Upgrade from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr, now all downloads are not visible at all anywhere

    I just upgraded from 17.0.9esr to 24.0esr. At first I noticed that download statusbar has not shown all downloads when they have been downloaded, so I decided to remove it. That has not changed anything because I do not see in tools-> Downloads tab. I tried to play with the browser.download.useJSTransfer and the browser.download.useToolkitUI, I've seen in my search, but they do not help. I also tried to change the options of the private browsing mode, and although I can see that downloads fail, I don't see when they download. I don't know what is happening.

    I have reset the settings of firefox and it seems to be fixed. I could not identify any option that could have been the cause. He could download status bar. I no longer need because new download managers to work pretty well.

  • Main problems after upgrading from XP to Vista on Qosmio F20

    I have recently upgraded from XP to Vista on my Qosmio F20 and having problems. It seems that I lost the ability to change screen resolutions, to adjust the volume, brightness, etc. Basically, I lost the laptop functions. I also tried updating the BIOS but get the following error message "BiOS update only is not supported OS - unsupported OS or service pack installed.»

    This also makes very slow computer.

    You now have a few questions, or you wrote just a report on your experience of Vista on Qosmio F20?

    The fact is that Toshiba does not support Vista on this laptop model and thereby you will ever complete Vista of operation (including the Toshiba tools and utilities). For supported laptops, Toshiba offered special Vista supporting BIOS but for your laptop, this update of the BIOS does not exist.

    Sorry! :(

    1. the older system with Win7 should not go Win10 that HP provides no support any drivers for it unless it was made in 2013.

    2. your specific HP PS comment is false with no facts to backup. We should refrain from making these comments - does nothing to help other users.

    Hello cdrudd, welcome.

    We start back up your data first, if you have a Windows Vista recovery or install CD/DVD, try this:

    1. connect an external drive or flash drive
    2. place the CD of Windows Vista in the status bar, and close
    3 boot the disk and choose "repair my computer".
    4 choose "Command Prompt"
    5. type the following command:

    CD c:

    | Come in

    users of CD

    | Come in

    dir

    | Come in

    From here, take note of what your user name folder name. Then type...

    copy c:\users\yourusername e:\users

    | Come in

    * ' e' will be the letter of your external device. It could be F, G, H or so now (according to which drive letter was already used)

    Once the copy is complete, you can pretty much use the following commands to keep the rest of the data:

    copy c:\program files e:\program files -copy everything in the folder program files

    You can use the dir command to view the contents of a directory. Then, you can use the cd command to navigate to a directory.
