HT201364 i cant update my macbook Pro Black from snow leopard 10.6.8 to yosemite.
I have read the specs and everything seems fine. I have snow leopard 10.6.8 and when I try and update i get a message from the applestore app to say it cant be installed on this laptop.
Please can anyone advise me on that I should do.
MAC OS Build 10.6.8
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo

Minimum requirement for Yosemite on a MacBook is 5,1 Yours is too old. Lion (10.7.5) is as far as you can go.

HT201364 Unable to update to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Unable to update to OS X Maverick from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have 648GB available on my MAC HD but when I go to install I get error that I need 2 GB free and 8 GB available. Does the AppStore install some where other than the MAC Hard Drive on my imac?
The reference is to RAM. You need at least 2 GBs of memory installed.

I have a MacBook Pro 2009. In order to get iCloud I have moved to Lion. Mountain Lion will slow machine too much. I now find that DVD player will not play the Disc Image .img movie files. When I open DVD player and click File and Open DVD Media, the Disc Image files are greyed out. The .dvdproj files are not greyed but if I click on them I get a message that "the media type is not supported". I could play the movies without any problem before I switched to Lion. The switch was done at the Apple store by an Apple Technician. Any idea what is happening?
Download and install VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html and get rid of DivX.

I cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys..
i cant update my macbook pro to mac os x 10.9.2 what do i do please help me guys.......
First off, you need to post in the correct forum. 10.9.2 is not the same as Mac OS 9.2. (12 years separate those two).
I'll ask this thread be moved.
Secondly, look at your Apple menu -> About This Mac and tell us what you have now.
If it is some version of 10.8, you can upgrade to 10.9, and then 10.9.2 free:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6131
If it is some version of 10.7, check the system requirements for 10.8 first, to determine if you can go straight to 10.9, then 10.9.2:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
If it is some version of 10.6 or lower, read this tip:

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

The OSs will get more resource hungry the higher you go. -
I was installing soundflower macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard Grey loading screen
Hello i was installing soundflower for my macbook pro mid 2011/Snow leopard. However when finishing the installation for soundflower and click restart computer my mac now has a grey screen with a loading bar that doesn't finish. I already try safe mode and it doesn't work. Is there a way to disable sound flower installation?
No. You use "C" to boot from the optical drive
Hold down the Option key to select a different disk drive to boot from
When it comes up with all the disk that have an operating system on them, select the one with the bootable clone on it

If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?
I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

I just update my Mac operating system from Snow Leopard to Yosemite and now have to upgrade my Epson Printer WF3540 so that it will be able to scan. Will Adobe be compatible with these softwares?
Hi spiritentrep,
What Adobe software are you referring to? Are you using Acrobat? You should have no problems running Acrobat XI on Yosemite, and as along as you have compatible scanner drivers for your Epson, you should be fine there as well.
Best,

I was wondering, does anyone have an idea on how to update my Macbook Pro 15" to Mountain Lion's 10.8.3 from Mountain Lion's 10.8.2 version? When I attempt to use the App Store, it will restart my computer but it will not install the update. The update also still shows up in the App Store as available and when going to "About my Mac," it still shows the current version being 10.8.2.
Computer:
Macbook Pro 15" Aluminum Body
Purchased Late 2008
Current OS: Mountain Lion 10.8.2

How do I update to the current Maverics from Snow Leopard
I've been checking the Maveric downloads and it seems I need previous upgrades in order to download 10.2.x. Is it necessary to progressively download every version or is there a short cut? Right now I have Snow Leopard.
--- 21" iMac, late 2009, OSX10.6.8; 3.33 GHz Intel Core2Duo; 4Gb SDRAM; Serial# YD04xxxxxxxxxDMX; Build 10K549Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 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 Mavericks- System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
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?

I recently purchased a brand new Macbook pro and I am having some trouble with the Macbook Appstore. I changed my Apple ID today and when I go to update any apps my computer is bringing up my old Apple ID. There is no option to change the Apple ID or sign out on the updates tab of the app store. I have tried logging out and back in using my new Apple ID on the Featured Quick links tab but it does not work. Can anyone assist?
How can I delete and reinstall these applications that were downloaded without messing up my computer?

Well this is the report, wish you can help me and tell me what I need to do, its quite difficult to find a support in Argentina for Mac!You have the MacBookPro6,2, the Edsel of Macs. You might be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling OS X. Try that first, if you haven't done so already. Otherwise, you may be covered by this program:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers may not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue.
Print the first page of the panic report, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You may be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching in the Energy Saver preference pane, but that's not a solution. -
Macbook Pro OS X Snow Leopard and CS2 upgrade and CS5?
Hi everyone,
I am a newbie and would love to hear some thoughts on this.
I currently have the Adobe CS2 which I use on my toshiba. but all that is about to change because I recently got a macbook pro that runs on Snow lepoard. I have read some of the other treads and have come to the realisation that my CS2 will not work on the macbook?!
What is really the case? Is there no chance at all that I will be able to use my CS2?
If so, that means I will need to get an upgrade. Currently, my CS2 is the normal version, but I am now a student so I will be eligible for the student discount & upgrade. Is it possible to have all that arranged over the Adobe site? I can only see the student option, but not the upgrade option for student editions. Or should I head over to a store?
Is it true that I can wait till CS5 to come up before I lose my upgrading option?
Even though I have had CS2 for almost 5 years now, I am still very much a beginner (shameful I know). Is it worth even getting the upgrade in my case? And will CS5 be compatible with the macbook pro leopard?
Many thanks in advance!I don't accept this at all.
Firstly, CS2 not only didn't work properly on Leopard, but nor did it on Vista. So both Microsoft and Apple are presumably grossly violating this OS upgrade principal?
Secondly, Microsoft manage to keep their apps updated without too much complaint. Hence office 2004 still runs faultlessly on Leopard
Thirdly, we have seen the Adobe approach to upgrades with Phtoshop / Lightroom and Camera Raw. How many people have bought a new digital SLR just to find that Adobe doesn't support it and will only support it if you pay for the next upgrade.
Finally, the job of an OS build is to improve the OS and let 3rd party developers have the beta releases so they can test their apps on it. If the app's developer finds it is a big job, why not charge existing users a nominal fee for the patch? I'm happy with CS2 functionality and would happily pay a sensible amount for some fixes rather than £700 + for an upgrade. We all understand that software moves on, but having to pay huge sums for an upgrade after 2 years is simply unacceptable.
