Can i update osx mountain lion to old macbook pro 2.6ghz

Hi, is it possible to update my old macbook pro 2.6GHZ Core 2 Duo/2GB/256MB to mountain lion? I don't know the build/model date? Serial no.W8******02D.
<Edited By Host>

Probably - this is what I 'found' in MacTracker:
...and that's what that Apple Serial Number website pulled up for that serial number. We'll have to wait for the OP to clarify!
Clinton
edit: but MacTracker also says that model can use OS X Mountain Lion... so regardless of model, the answer to the OP should be "yes."

  • OSX Mountain Lion free with MacBook Pro with Retina Display bought in June?

    I was informed when purchasing my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display in June 2012 that OS X Mountain Lion would be given to me for free through email because it was to come out so soon after the purchase date.  I haven't gotten any emails with details of how to obtain my free update.  I was wondering when I should expect to get that, or did the lovely Apple workers (multiple workers told me this) lie about this? Thanks for your help!

    You have to request it:

  • Why can't I install mountain lion on my macbook pro?

    It still works.  I bought it in 2007.  What will I have to give up?

    Click on the Apple Menu's, "About This Mac," "More Info," "System Report," "Hardware," to identify your Mac. You need to have a MacBook Pro 3.1 as a minimum to support ML.

  • Can i transfer mountain lion from my macbook pro to my mabook air

    can i transfer osx mountain lion to my macbook air running snowleopard 10.6.8

    If you purchased OS X Mountain Lion in the App Store, just open App Store > Purchases on the MacBook Air and download OS X Mountain Lion for free. Make a backup before upgrading.
    If OS X Mountain Lion came with your MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion can only be installed on the MacBook Pro, and you can't install it on the MacBook Air, so you will have to purchase it on the Mac App Store

  • UPDATING OSX MOUNTAIN LION ADOBE VIEWER. recently received e-bill statement. could not view. site recommended updating adobe viewer. as this feature comes OEM from Apple, how is this accomplished?

    UPDATING OSX MOUNTAIN LION ADOBE VIEWER. recently received e-bill statement. could not view. site recommended updating adobe viewer. as this feature comes OEM from Apple, how is this accomplished? Note, this was an online view for the PDF document.

    Thanks for your help.  Final question. So I am assuming that PDF funcitonality is accomplished via Preview.  I assume then that the PDF creation in Mail is also similarly accomplished, that is not via an Adobe product, but equivalent funcitonality. I see now that I can download Adobe. But, does the Apple PDF equivlant provide updates to keep up witht the new encoding structures released by Adobe, so that I can only update the Apple equivalent, or is this not practical because Apple would be chasing Adobe for software updates?

  • Can i put osx mountain lion on a 1998 i mac

    can i put osx mountain lion on a 1998 i mac

    Klaus pretty much sums it up.
    This iMac is 15 years old.
    Plus, this was THE very first model of iMac. It had a lot of hardware/software limitations.
    The Internet was different place, then.
    There is no way this iMac will stream any online video content. And probably NOT even play downloadable online video content.
    You can't even install a more up to date OS X version (like OS X 10.4 Tiger- which came out in 2005) to even attempt to access the more modern Internet and maybe have a chance of getting a useful Internet experience out of this iMac.
    More improved models of this iMac design that came after (2000-2001) could run OS X 10.4 Tiger, at least making these iMacs more suitable to use and navigate today's Internet.
    Your model was the first of its kind and had a lot of bugs that were eventually worked out of it over time and newer models.

  • Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?

    Does anyone know how to update OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.1. to 10.8.2. on a late 2012 Mac mini. All I get are 'not compatible' messages even using supplementary updates etc?

    It appears that many of the problems with the HDMI are the "monitors" that are being used. Samsung and Vizeo both DO NOT support a computer input on HDMI only VGA. There probably are others, manuals must be read to confirm compatability.
    I strongly believe that the reason the 10.8.2 update was pulled is due to the fact (it happened to me) that the new Disk Utility creates a Fusion drive if aftermarket SSDs are added to the system. I think Apple wants this propriatary Fusion Drive to be something you buy from them not a "homebrew" for lots less money.

  • Can't install OSX Mountain Lion, on the disk selection screen i cant select the Macintosh HD to install OSX giving a message (This disk cannot be used to start up your computer).only have one disk to select and my partition map scheme is GUID partition

    just bough OSX Mountain Lion, my laptop operating with v10.6.8.  Can't install OSX Mountain Lion, on the disk selection screen i cant select the Macintosh HD to install OSX giving a message (This disk cannot be used to start up your computer).only have one disk to select and my partition map scheme is GUID partition table. 24.44gb disk available.

    Verify your computer can run Mountain Lion:
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Open Disk Utility and verify the drive is partitioned using GUID and formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled. If it is then do this:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Now try installing Mountain Lion.

  • Can i update to mountain lion for free

    can i update to mountain lion for free? when can i update it? Very hopeful to have a experiment.

    Given that you already have a Mac and the new cat is not likely to come out in awhile yet, the answer will be NO. Only cases I've seen Apple give the OS for free as an upgrade is when you buy a new Mac a week or so before the official cat unleashing. Or if you buy a new Mac after the new cat is out and you get inadvertently given one with the previous release.

    I've a macbook black middle 2007, can i install osx mountain lion?

    I'm afraid not >  Apple - Upgrade your Mac to OS X Mountain Lion.
    Must be a MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)

  • How many times can I install mountain lion on my macbook pro?

    My Macbook pro came with lion pre-installed. However, I bought at a time that allowed me to update to mountain lion for free. Therefore, I wanted to know if I will have to pay to re-download mountain lion on my Macbook pro if I have to restore the system to its factory settings?

    No, since you have already "purchased" (even if for free) 10.8 on the App Store with your AppleID, you own it, so you can reinstall as much as you want.
