[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1645950, member: 56379"] No. It just means that you have the latest version of OS 10.5 (10.5.8). To go further/newer...you need to upgrade to a newer version. There is a difference between "updating" and "upgrading"!:) This process works EXACTLY the same with with Windows computers. With Windows computers...if you have the latest version of Windows 7...and you want Windows 8...you have to purchase Windows 8. No...the problem is user-error!;) If you do not understand the Macintosh computer OS upgrade process...then you should ask first...BEFORE bad-mouthing Apple for what is not understood!;) You have lots of options to upgrade the OS on your computer...WITHOUT having to purchase a new computer!:) Yes you can upgrade to: - OS 10.6 = $19.99 - OS 10.7 = $19.99 - OS 10.8 = $19.99 - OS 10.10 = Free (if your computer meets the min. specs) * Nick [/QUOTE]
