Quick Q from a Newbie!

Hi,

Just a quick Q, probably a daft one!

I need to upgrade my Tiger 10.4 OSX to Snow Leopard in order to get the new iTunes 10 upgrade, do I have to buy the Mac Pack (£90) as recommended on the Apple Store for 10.4 users, or can I just get the SL upgrade CD (£25)??

Sorry if its a daft question, any help much appreciated!

Cheers.

The SL disk will work fine (the £25 one). I assume you have an Intel Mac and not a PPC based one.

Hi, thank you for the response, yes its an Intel Mac. Cheers.

Of course, you will then (eventually) need to go buy the latest iLife as well, so you might want to just buy it together in the Mac Pack, since you also get iWork for practically nothing.

That's a bit misleading. You don't need to get new versions of iLife or have iLife at all. I have the version that came with my Mac (08) and I hardly, if ever, use it. I don't even have the whole suite installed and the parts I do get very very little usage.

Yeah. I mean, I've never used Garage Band in my life, but it's an Apple product, so of course I need the latest version. Because to do otherwise would be...sacrilege.
