Do you need an Apple ID even though this person is running Snow Leopard? I ask
because I didn't set up an Apple ID as soon as I got my Mac back in 2010 and
didn't have one until 2011. I was still able to download software updates for
Snow Leopard so this kinda confuses me. I understand if you wanted to download
major software updates such as Yosemite you'd need an Apple ID, but if this
person wanted to update his Snow Leopard, wouldn't he be fine without one? Am I
right, Singing Sparrow, that you just wanted to download an update to Snow
Leopard or are you thinking of making the jump to a higher, and in my opinion,
better version of OS X like Yosemite?

Yes, you need one. Your installation of OS X is tied to your Apple ID, and any
updates to it require that Apple ID. This policy may change, but as far as I
know, it hasn't yet. Technically, this is no different from Windows; Microsoft
uses validation to check that your copy of Windows is valid and legal, and if
it detects a pirated version, it won't update anything. An Apple ID is simply
Apple's way of verifying the legality of your OS X installation.

Ok, so i would need a apple id to get any software updates then? I was under
the impression that you ran software update like you would on windows?
