Most recent operating system for a 2007 Macbook?

So I have a 2007 Macbook. Model no. A1181. What is the most recent operating system I can put on this bad boy to where I can download newer apps? In need of serious help. I have Snow Leopard, but I don't fancy it. It won't let me run the newest iTunes and Google Chrome or my Microsoft Word.

10.7.5 is the max. You need to call Apple customer service to obtain a download for it.

  • HT1338 How can I upgrade my MacBook Pro from OS X 10.5.8 to most recent Operating System ?

    How can I upgrade my MacBook Pro from OS X 10.5.8 to most recent Operating System ?
    I just bought a Ipad Air and realized than my MacPro does not support Icloud.

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) 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.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.

  • Is Mountain Lion the most current operating system for MacBook Pro?

    I am wondering if Mountain Lion is the most current operating system for the MacBook Pro.  I am under the impression that 'Mavericks' is for the desktop Mac, am I correct?  Thank You.

    Actually, Mavericks is the current version of OS X replacing Mountain Lion. Mavericks will be replaced later this year by Yosemite. The upgrade to Mavericks is free. You can download the installer from the App Store.

  • What is the cheapest way for me to upgrade from tiger 10.4.11 to the most recent operating system?

    Hi, just after i bought my laptop all them years back when tiger 10.4.11 was the operating system mac decided to release a new one just a week after my purchase, so the bitterness in me refused to pay for an upgrade. Years have gone by and hardly anything is compatible with my mac anymore...
    A friend said it could be up £300 for me to upgrade because I have missed so many operating systems... Please tell me there is a cheaper way?!? 
    All help very appreciated! Thanks for reading.

    Replace the RAM you now have with two 2 GB modules.  You can find the proper RAM at OWC or DataMem. OWC even has installation tutorials and any special tools that may be needed.

  • New operating system for iPhone5

    My battery life is greatly diminished since I installed the most recent operating system, can I fix this problem?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
    Open the Settings App > Privacy > Location Services [turn OFF location services for those that you really don't need to use it.

  • Best operating system for music applications( or most popular)

    hi, gonna be buying a mac laptop.
    im not feeling leopard for coupla reasons.
    im new to all this by the way. so dont know about the diff versions of operating systems for mac........i just know tiger 10.4 was one prior.
    for music software, which op system and version is most compatible with the various music apps and vst companies etc out there. like i dont mind not using the latest versions of popular programmes like pro tools and logic and ableton.
    leopared is very specific and not backwards compatiblewith alot of software it seems.
    cheers
    like whats the most popular system in use by music production culture, not necessarily professionals, just hobbyists.
    like if you have service pack 2 XP, i know youre good to go. simple as that.
    whats the mac equivalent?

    Leopard doesn't work well with G5!!
    If you have tiger, stay with it, its solid. There is no reason to use leo at the moment!
    There is nothing you cannot do with tiger concerning audio.
    When its time to upgrade, you can do, but who knows.....
    Cheers Eddie
    What FUD. Seriously. Plenty of people on this board are running leopard with no problem. My leopard is solid, and it runs logic and reason.
    Leopard worked fine on my G5.
    As for the comment about leopard not being able to run tiger....well, that's kinda mind blowing.

  • Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details?

    Is it possible to run two different versions of Apple operating system (for ex. 10.6.8 and 10.9) on a MacBook Pro, either on the same disk or from an external hard disk? If so, where would I find the details? (In order to be able to use the older applications no longer supported in 10.9)

    If you want to add a second partition to the internal drive (in Disk Utility, select the drive, then open the partition tab and just click the + button), you should first be sure that you will have enough room to accommodate whatever the second volume will be. I am currently doing this for Snow and Mountain Lion.
    To get to whatever volume is not the startup disk, restart and hold down option/alt at the chime, which will bring up a selection of the two volumes. Use the left or right arrow keys to select it and then hit enter/return.

  • Most widely used operating system for oracle database

    hi,
    can anyone figure out which operating system is widely used for oracle database around the world.
    thanks and regards,
    Ashok

    I don't think you can safely pick one single operating system for Oracle.
    Over the years I have seen various Unix flavors, VAX/VMS, Windows and others being used to a great extent for running Oracle database.
    Picking one flavor will be tougher then having to program the database under any operating system it is made available.

    Hello,
    That means it can find the Hard Drive, or can't find the things needed for booting.
    See if DU even sees it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?

    Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?

    Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

  • Can I use a 2011 Macbook Pro charger for my 2007 Macbook?

    My charger for my 2007 Macbook works as an AC adapter, but will not charge my battery. My girlfriend has a new Macbook pro and I want to know if I can use her charger to charge my battery. I know they output different wattages, but I'm not sure how that will affect it. I have heard rumors that new Pro chargers will fry the batteries of the older Macbooks but I don't know if there is any truth to that. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    You can use a higher wattage charger to charge a mac that normally uses a lower wattage charge and that is fine.  You do not want to do the opposite.
