i finally got an OS X CD, and it works! but its only 10.0.3 . After using the software update to go to 10.0.4, it now says I'm "up to date"

I really want the 10.1 update. I'm not aware if this is a free, or purchase update. can someone fill me in? I cant find a download for it.

thanks,
Steelee
 
its sort of free, in that you could at one time get it for free if you physically went to any apple retailer. you could also buy it from apple for a nominal fee. what you could (nor can you now) do was download it. it kind of sucks, and there is a lot of speculation as to whether apple will do the same sort of thing with jaguar.

as far as i can tell, apple is no longer offering the update CD to 10.1, so you may have no option but to buy a full version. sucks, i know.

when did you get this computer? if you just got it from a retailer, ask that retailer to give you one. they shouldn t even charge you.
 
OS X 10.1 was a "free" update, but it needed to be distributed by CD. So there was a period where you could go to an Apple store or an Apple reseller and get a free update CD (unless you went to Fry's, where they actually made you pay 1¢ :mad: ). You could also order the update CD directly from Apple for $19.99.

Unfortunately, I don't know if either of these options are available now – I heard that Apple has stopped shipping out the update CD even if you pay $20. So you might be stuck with having to buy OS X all over again. That would really suck.

What you should do, is find someone who has the update CD, and get them to burn a copy for you, or at least get them to install it for you. You could try and find a Mac User Group in your area and see if you can get in touch to find an update CD.

I hope this helps.
 
Actually, lethe, we have to say the EXACT SAME THING at the EXACT SAME TIME for you to be able to jinx me. Considering that we didn't say nearly the exact same thing (we only meant it), and that you posted 2 minutes before me (only because I was being more thorough in my post ;) :D ), you can't jinx me.

Plus, I'm not speaking when I post. :)
 
well that sucks! i think we should have revised jinx rules for message boards. otherwise this will never work.

Rule 1: from now on, everyone must speak out loud while they are posting!


(my posts get a little silly when it is 6 am and i ve been working all night, in case you can t tell!)

thanks you all, but i went to CompUSA, asked a PC dude there, he sold me the 10.1 update CD for $.01. one cent. See? i do pay for software!

thanks
 
I used to work for CompUSA, not a very good job besides being able to play with the latest Mac stuff when they hit the stores. Anyways, we had about 1,000 copies of the update and only gave away like 50-100 over a month span. Wonder if they're still there.. :D
