My sister would like to upgrade from 10.4.11 in order to use the itunes store again and QVC. Is it still possible to upgrade to 10.5? Or would she have to jump to Lion? I'm suspicious of Lion myself.
My understanding is that 10.5 and later are Intel only.
Where would I find info about this and possibly purchase an upgrade?
Have you ever noticed how hard it is to find basic info on the Apple site?
1. OS X 10.5 (Leopard) will run on
either a PPC or Intel Mac (
Edit: as long as the Mac in question shipped with either Leopard or an earlier version of OS X); 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is the first version of OS X that will run on Intel Macs only. Which particular Mac is your sister running?
2. Snow Leopard and Lion upgrades can be purchased directly from Apple (
Edit: relatively inexpensively), but Leopard upgrade discs are available only on the Internet (
Edit: and tend to be pretty pricey).
3. The latest version of iTunes is Leopard compatible, so the iTunes Store shouldn't be an issue, but I've -0- idea about QVC.
4. If you're not already doing this, you may have better luck finding info on Apple's Web site if you enter your search term in a Google window and follow it with (space)site:apple.com.
Hope this helps.
