Mac os updating question(s)

mingeroonie · 6 Jul 2011 at 18:22

Hey all, my Wife's mac is currently on Tiger 10.4.11, and she needs 10.5 to update iTunes to a version that will work with her new IP4

Does this require a new os to be purchased, as the apple update thing isn't giving any updates, so I assume the tiger version is out of date?

Any advice appreciated

Cheers for the replies

Did a quick check, and her machine will run leopard ok, intel core2 and 2gig ram, which is more than the minimum requirements.

Just had a look online and it seems I can get a copy for about £30?
That can't be right, can it?

Ahh but she wants to use her shiny new phone!
Will grab her a copy of leopard tomorrow, give me something to do.
I take it, I can upgrade, and keep all existing data/programs etc?

The purple shirted people wanted £80!
The rainforest online people wanted £20:56

Like Magicboy said, other half wanted to play with iPhone, so I bought the snow leopard for twenty quid, updated from tiger, 1 gig update download.
