Can my Mac run Mavericks?

The system requirments section of the Mavericks page says Mac Pro early 2008 or newer, but I do not remember how old my computer is.  How can I determine whether mine is new enough?

Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

  • Mac running Mavericks Crashes Firefox Daily. EXC_BAD_ACCESS / KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE Please help.

    Hi,
    I have a Mac running Mavericks and Firefox keeps crashing most daily for the past three months and I get a "Firefox has crashed submit report" popup.
    It is usually if I am playing a youtube video or a movie (more then one) at a time. Or if one video is loading and I try to play or load another. I notice if I "que" or pre-load a long video (more then 15 minutes), then try to play a new one it will crash.
    I have tried the following solutions none of which have worked:
    A) Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox
    B) Reset Firefox (Help, troubleshooting information, reset firefox)
    C) Turn off hardware acceleration (Firefox, preferences, un-check hardware acceleration)
    D) Turn off "enable hardware acceleration in "youtube" (it now asks me each time if I would allow it to play)
    E) Plugin Check and Updates are all up to date (http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/) I only have:
    SharePoint Browser Plug-in (research)
    Default Browser Helper (research)
    These plugins are up to date: (as of March 7th 2014)
    Shockwave for Director 12.0.6 (Up to Date)
    Shockwave Flash 12.0.0.70 (Up to Date)
    QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3 (Up to Date)
    Sometimes I get this as the "signature": libsystem_platform.dylib@0x4280
    Again I have tried the above solutions but they have not worked. Any help or advice will be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Shawn

    Hi Guigs2, Thank You for the reply. Was getting worried no one was going to help me. I am not sure how to attach the crash report. I have copied and pasted it here:

  • I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    I have a MAC running Maverick. MP3 sounds will not play in Safari or FireFox, but will play if you download the file locally to the Desktop. How to resolve this?

    You probably have an internet plugin installed that is preventing the MP3s from playing. I just checked a site with an MP3, and it played, rather than downloaded.
    The internet plugin folders are at:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins and
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    (~/Library is hidden by default. Let me know if you don't know how to access it.)
    My internet plugins were all in /Library; there were none in ~/Library.
    Try moving these folders to the desktop (don't delete them), restarting, and then seeing if the MP3s play.
    They it will be trial and error to see which plugin is responsible.

  • Can I upgrade CS5 on a Mac running Maverick?

    I have a Macbook Pro, running Maverick, and older version of Creative Suite, CS5. Still works, but I have been getting notices that upgrades to this are available. BUT...cannot tell anything about the upgrades - if they will work on this platform, if they are free or pay. So I am afraid to try to install them. I spent the last hour trying to contact Adobe by phone to ask this simple question - are upgrades available to me. Guess, what? They can't be reached by phone. Every time I travel their phone tree, I end up on a branch they cut off. Not good product support in my opinion and if I were starting over would really question using these products. But that is the way it is. I realize that likely no one out there can answer this for me, but thought I would put it up in case you have dealt with a similar issue.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I have version 7.0.4.553 - according to the info function. Maybe this is the latest.

  • Can my mac running 10.5.8 install 10.6?

    How do I understand whether my Mac running OS X 10.5.8 can upgrade to OS X 10.6? I don't know what the requirements are, and I've looked at them on the internet. All I know is my specs:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook Pro 15"
      Model Identifier:          MacBookPro1,1
      Processor Name:          Intel Core Duo
      Processor Speed:          2.16 GHz
      Number Of Processors:          1
      Total Number Of Cores:          2
      Memory:          2 GB
    WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHETHER MY MAC IS CAPABLE OF INSTALLING OS X 10.6, PLEASE??
    {*bangsheadonkeyboard*}

    Yes, any MBP with an Intel processor  and 1-2 GB of RAM (and I had a 1,1 version, too, and the last update I could make was to Snow Leopard) can run SL.
    You'll have to purchase it from the online Apple Store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - and then install the updates until you get to the 'latest' version of SL - 10.6.8.
    Only $20 plus taxes and shipping - and the only way to get your hands on it.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • Hp printer Office Jet Pro 8600 wont print from my Mac running Mavericks. Worked fine with PC.

    I am having trouble getting my printer to print with my MAC. It recognizes jobs in the queue, but keeps telling me the printer isn't connected? I have uninstalled and re installed it, updated the drivers. Grrrrr
    Need this for school. Not sure what else to try?

  • Canon MF4890 Drivers Won't Install On Mac Running Mavericks

    I just purchased an MF4890.  I use a Macbook Pro running Mavericks.  The disk that came with the printer doesn't support Mavericks and when I download the drivers from the Canon website, they won't install.  If I keep the driver image on my Mac desktop, the printer will print for a time -- but then it no longer sees the printer.  This isn't normal.  I should be able to eject the disk image (as in every other application), and the app/drivers should be installed on my mac.  When I as much as created a folder on my desktop and moved the disk images into the folder (print/fax/scan), the mac no longer sees the printer (wireless).
    Help!  Does this printer support Mavericks?

    Hi BonnieBoop.
    The imageCLASS MF4890dw does support printing on the OS X Mavericks operating system.  You should be able to open on the Mac_MF_Ver1010_00.dmg file and run the installer package.  The icon looks like an open brown box.  Next just follow the steps to install the driver.
    If you are not able to see this information or if the setup does not allow you to save the information, we recommend that you contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) and a live technical support representative will be glad to assist you.
    Have a good day.

  • I can no longer access documents in iCloud from my Mac running Mavericks

    I entered into the Yosemite public beta program. After running the installation, I decided to go back to Mavericks. I used my Time Machine Backup to restore my Mavericks installation. All is well again except one thing, I cannot access any pre-Beta documents in my iCloud. I can't see anything in the folders: in Numbers, Pages, or via iCloud.com. I also can't reset iCloud via iCloud.com. I can access some of my documents via Numbers on my iPad, but they have issues like missing fonts.
    If I officially leave the Yosemite Public Beta (via the leave webpage) will it restore my iCloud documents access? Or am I stuck until Yosemite and iOS 8.0 are released?
    I would expect some bugs and speedbumps in a beta, but every page I viewed before trying it stated I could go back to Mavericks using my Time Machine backup, which I did. Had I known I shouldn't enter my icloud info when installing the beta when it asked, I wouldn't have. I'm assuming the files are still there, I just can't see them because I was upgraded to iCloud drive as part of the beta. I may try installing Yosemite Beta in Parallels just to see if I can recover my documents that way.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    You might try to see if you can restore your iWork documents from an earlier point in time by using Time Machine.  To do this, Open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu.  Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your pages documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine.  Then repeat this from "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" to restore your Number documents.

  • How can I download Mnt Lion from the App Store on a new Mac running Mavericks?

    Greetings... We just purchased a new iMAC at work and need to remove Mavericks and move it backwards to Mnt Lion.
    Some of our big apps like Esko Automation Engine Pilot arn't ready for Mavericks yet so we need to go back a version
    to obtain the compatibility.
    When I access the Mnt Lion download via the App Store I get an error message (1004) stating that Mnt Lion can not
    be installed on this machine?
    Any ideas on how I can make this happen?
    Thanks

  • I am using version 26.0 on Mac running Mavericks version 10.9. I cannot rename my bookmarks. How can I?

    My bookmarks are titled: Unsorted Bookmarks. I want to rename this bookmark folder but cannot.

    You cannot remake the "Unsorted Bookmarks", instead create a folder under Unsorted Bookmarks.
    Right click on the "Unsorted Bookmarks" > New Folder

  • Airdrop on Macs running Mavericks, Yosemite with iOS 8 iDevices

    Found this information in discussion with Apple Advisors (and wasted a lot of time doing so) only to find a clear disconnect between KB articles.The current basic article clearly states that any Mac newer than 2012 can use AirDrop:
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network.
    Perhaps that should be (amended to) read, "... current production model Mac needs to be..." Simply saying that the MacPro line ended. Or simply delete the article in favor of the correct one? In either case though, it seems a bad idea that a computer which can run the latest OS cannot use all of the features of the latest OS, including the features that are described as being available a wide range of models of Mac machines in current production. (insert Sad Apple face here).
    More definitively this article should receive wider distribution than it has... :
    AirDrop
    AirDrop between Mac computers and iOS devices is supported by the following Mac models:
    MacBook Air (2012 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (2012 or newer)
    iMac (2012 or newer)
    Mac mini (2012 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    Possible workarounds include using iCloud Drive, Photo Stream sharing.

    I got my answer:
    "In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later."
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
    Thank you anyway for your help :-)

  • Photoshop CC on a Mac running Mavericks does not recognize Epson 3880

    This is my first post to this forum so I hope that I am following protocol and presenting my issue clearly.
    I am running Photoshop CC (on a Mac Retina with an Epson 3880). It has worked fine for months but it crashed twice yesterday while I was in print mode as I was playing with configurations – switching from Epson to Adobe and playing with color management. (I have an Epson 3880.) Now when I open a file and click File/Print or File/Print One Copy, the printer selection menu does not appear and instead I get a message "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." After that the print and print one copy commands are greyed out on the File dropdown menu for that image file, but if I open another, the print function appears to be available but the same thing happens
    I have downloaded the latest printer driver from Epson, deleted the printer from System Preferences, installed it again and rebooted. I have done all this twice to no avail. (The OS, the printer drivers and Photoshop CC are all up to date.)
    I can use the print command from Lightroom 5 but not from Photoshop CC.
    How can I reset Photoshop’s print function to recognize the printer?

    Epson has had a LOT of problems with drivers on MacOS 10.9.
    Contact Epson for driver updates that work correctly on MacOS 10.9.
