I found that too, but its requirements are 10.6.6, And Im not that version. But thanks for trying to help :?

10.6.6 is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1343

Just type the version number in their search bar. If that one needs a previous version, search for it next. You seem to be way behind in updates.

I think you have to pay for the Snow Leopard update for OSX. It's $29 depending on where you are. Also you won't be able to run it if your MBP uses a PowerPC based CPU; Intel CPU's only.

Shouldn't this topic be in that little pit steam forums made for mac users?

SpeedFleX · 10-07-2011, 11:16 AM

like 10.7 Lion, you must purchase 10.6 Snow Leopard.

In the windows world this would be Windows Vista and Windows 7, not just a little Service Pack.

You need to purchase snow leopard that allows you to update until 10.6.8 and if you want purchase Lion that 10.7.x

You should never EVER compare Windows to Mac OS X ... NEVER.

There's a lot of erroneous information here. You can not directly download an upgrade from 10.5.x to 10.6.x.

Major OS updates must be purchased. Snow Leopard is a $29 upgrade from Leopard that you should be able to obtain from Apple or any authorized reseller. You can also purchase Lion on a USB key for $69 if you want to upgrade directly to the newest version.
