How do I update iMac os x 10.5.8 to os x 10.6.8?

SOURCE: I inherited an imac g3.....

That Mac will run 10.4 Tiger, but I would recommend 10.3 Panther. You can download all updates through sofware update after the install is complete. You should be able to find installer disks on eBay for cheap.

I think you're trying to put windows programs on a apple mac. It won't work directly. If the program is .exe it's windows only. I think this is the case here.

SOURCE: How do I transfer my Tree Maker files from my PC to my iMac.

Family Tree Maker has a Mac version of their software available on their website.
This link also provides some possible solutions for your situation for converting PC version to Mac.

If you have any reason to not switch to the Mac version of Family Tree Maker, or have other PC software that may not not be available for Mac, there is an easy solution for this as well, but does require purchasing a copy of Windows. You can install Windows as a second operating system on your Mac to support those applications not compatible with Mac. This can be done using the built in "Bootcamp" utility on your Mac. This allows you to boot to any version of Windows or Linux, as well as your Mac OS. Another method is to install "Parallels" for Mac, which also allows you to install multiple operatings systems, but with the added ability to Mac OS X and Windows simultaneously.

SOURCE: I Need drivers for iMac 10 that work with Micronet PHD16072u2f

Hi, seeing that this drive has both USB and FireWire connectors it does not need any drivers. - In fact I have never needed drivers for any external drive in all of my 20+ mac years.
First thing to check is that the drive is powering up. Can you feel it come on and off when you turn the power on and off?Try connecting via the FW or the USB in turn (never together). TYry different cables - there are poor cables of both sorts.
If there is still nothing, try connecting something else to the same connectors of the computer - does it show up?
Sometimes the built-in USB hub can throw a wobbley - as can the FW hub. Resetting the USB hub is normally done by rebooting the computer. Resetting the FW is a little more complicated and varies from Mac to Mac - so check out on the Apple support pages at Apple.com the correct way to do it for your particular Mac.
