HT201364 can't install yosemite on my OS X 10.6.8 (i get a warning that it cannot be installed on this pc)

Hello
I'd like to install yosemite but it seems that i can't.
I have a 2012 mac pro with 10.6.8, 16GB RAM and enough free space but still i can't install yosemite.
any ideas?
Kind regards

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.

  • I replaced my hard drive on my late 2006 Macbook Pro.  I tried to do a reinstall of Tiger 10.4.5 from my start up disk.  I get an error that states "can't install on this computer." HELP

    I replaced my hard drive on my late 2006 Macbook Pro.  I used the disk utility and erased the drive and formatted it to OSX Journaled .  When I tried to install the OS from the start up disks I got the error "Can't install on this computer.  I have verified the drive.
    I have used Super Duper to copy my old drive to my new drive.  But I wanted to do a fresh install.  How do I go about this? 

    Did you do the Super Duper clone before you tried to reinstall the OS? If so, the original install disc is likely earlier than 10.4.11, and that may be why you are getting the message.
    When trying to reinstall the OS, did you select the "Archive and Install" option? If not, you might try that. Here's a link that might help:

    Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
    if you erased your recovery partition
    what OS originally came on your Mac.
    I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap,  because you didn't mention it.
    That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
    If you still have your recovery partition:
    boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
    use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
    If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
    If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
             (the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

  • When i try to download Xcode i get the error that it cannot be installed on "macintosh hd"

    when i try to download xcode i get the error that it cannot be installed because of "macintosh hd" and me not having os x version 10.8.4!!!
    please help me

    Correct.
    System requirements for XCode is 10.8.4 and above. Since you have 10.7.5 it can't be installed.

  • HT203088 I have the CANON REBEL T5 1200D, and when i connect it to my mac which is 10.10 the new OS X YOSEMITE it says that it "Cannot be used with this version of the operating system" why does it say that?

    Put simply, the minimum system requirements for iTunes have changed. You need a Mac running at least OS X 10.6.8.
    It's best you look online to see if your model of Mac can be upgraded to at least 10.6.8 "Snow Leopard". It should still be possible to order a copy of Snow Leopard if so.

  • Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
    But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
    Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.

  • Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

    What version of iTunes are you using?  The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.
