My friend has an iMac running Tiger intel. Of course, they are way behind with their OS upgrades. What would they have to do to update their Mac? Can they upgrade the iMac? Sorry, I don’t have any other information. They can’t afford a new computer.

Any help would be appreciated.

If it's PowerPC they can only update to Leopard. If it's Intel they can update further. Do you know which it is?

After you purchase Snow Leopard off the app store, and install it, then the three updates that have come since then will display in the app store that you can then download and install.
