Guys need some help - I use a Mack Book Pro - and just got my iPad - went to plug it in, and the OS is too old - it needs a min of 10.5.1, and I am on 10.4.11 - do I need to buy the OS upgrade to 10.5 - i can't find it on the support downloads, therefore do I need to buy the 10.5 OS?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so I now know I need to buy Leopard....any ideas??? not available to buy......

Most of us are on 10.6 now - Snow Leopard Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.8::MG Montego Turbo::MGB GT::Rover Sterling::MGF::MG ZT 190+
Discovery Series II Td5 GS::Discovery 3 TDV6 S::Freelander 2 TD4 XS::Freelander 2 TD4 SE
Range Rover Sport TDV6 3.0

Thanks

Nick you have to buy the full upgrade box i am afraid and move to Snow Leopard, facing the same hassle in terms of purchasing Aperture 3 (still not committed yet).. requires 10.5 as minimum and the IMAC is 10.4 (Tiger), thought it was not worth it in the end as i have a Macbook PRO which came with Snow Leopard, so will just have to do my photo editing on the laptop..

I believe the upgrade pack includes new versions of ilife and iworks, its 249 bucks in OZ, $169 US on Apples website, not sure in the UK apple stores

Thanks Alex, have received a kind offer from another RRS member (such a great site with nice people!) but thanks anyway mate....donation going off to Martin on the site today because of it!

I went to Apple this morning (and yes no queues and ipads in stock) and the Snow Box Set is £182!

You can upgrade directly from 10.4 to 10.6 using the leopard to snow leopard (10.5-10.6 upgrade) update disk which is £25 , see apple website. it tells u that it is the disk will only update 10.5 to 10,6 but believe me as i upgraded both my 10.4 machines with same disk.

Worth a try but will wait until a member on here sends me his CD first and will see then. Thanks for the info

Wardpg - thanks and also to Fox for the CD's - I manages to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard - took 45 mins but worked - and iPad sync'd too! Although many people have problems with the new itunes version 9.1.1 - so had to reinstall itunes again and all worked ok - got much on the iPad, and got to say it's a cracking product - anyone fancying buying my Mac Book Pro 17'' and a 12'' Powerbook!!! (collectable now I've been told!)

Thanks again guys - much appreciated!!!

what you looking for the 12'' Powerbook!!! and how old is it

It's 6 years old and needs a new battery.....works fine, upgraded memory and I have no idea what it's worth - I can send it to you to have a play around with it and see how you go......

Cheers for the offer but I'll leave it, little older than I thought as I know all about apples
