I have a mac osx version 10.2.08 and to download a new update I need mac osx version 10.3.0. The thing is that I can't find an update for 10.2.9 or 10.3.0. Am I doing something wrong? What do I do? Thank you for your time.

Mac OS X is Darwin BSD based. FREE to anyone, for PCs, and the FREE Mac version is OpenDarwinBSD based.



Macintosh is worse than Microsoft about hiding the cookie, so that you will have to buy their "upgrades".



So when you buy OS 10.2.x you get that, plus upgrades up to 10.2.9 but, you have to buy 10.3.x and then you get all the 'upgrades' through 10.3.9



Now, If you have bought 10.4.x, you get it all free through 10.4.9.



So, there is actually no 10.2.9 because it stopped at 10.2.8 and the next upgrade was 10.3.0 which went up to 10.3.9, which, again, everyone gets to purchase.



I broke the chain of pain, the expense of upgrades, by getting one of the 30 FREE Linux distros built for Mac 601,603, PowerPC, G3,G4,G5 processors, or by using the OpenDarwinBSD for them.



Yes, there is a Santa Claus, called Free Open Source Software (FOSS). And, Google loves Macs, http://google.com/mac

Each step up (10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4) is a separate release and must be purchased. You would either need to purchase Panther or Tiger.

I don't know if it's the same but...Go to the apple on the top of your desk top and click on software update, it should look it up and find that you need to update you computer.
