HT201364 is this too old for os x Mavericks?

Model:
Macmini2,1
Intel Core 2 Duo   2 GHz   L2 :
4 MB   Memory:
4 GB   Bus:
667 MHz   Boot ROM V:
MM21.009A.B00
I do not know when I got this computer...   just the old one I let my kids use
I see that there is a requirment of mini post 2009   and it may be older than that not sure how to tell...   When I try and install it it just clames that it can not install it.   So I am not sure the age of the system is the problem...

It looks like you may have a 2007 model (macmini2,1). OS X Mavericks will only install on an early 2009 or later Mac Mini model.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)

I am too old for this

I can't open a disk that has photos stored on it. The error message is:"Invalid jpeg marker." Other disks work fine.

The title of this post "I am too old for this" reminded me of someone that used to post to the Photoshop forum.
Still around but under another name.

Cpu is too old for this kernel

I downloaded and burned Arch No Panic ISO before 5:00 am today, then I went to the train and started travelling to my parents, it took about 10 hours. Now I am in their house and I wanted to install brand fresh new Arch Linux on my old K6-2 500. All I saw (after many dots) was:
cpu is too old for this kernel
WHY????
686 is not enough today? for installation?
PS. could you recommend small distro with gcc and SDL and Mesa? Slackware? Ubuntu? OK, let's get serious, Slackware?

I know k6-2 is an i586 family processor, but there are two problems, first the name, beacause of the 6 in k6, it can make suppose that k6 means i686. but the main problem is the fact that the official_Arch_Linux_Install_Guide at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Off … tall_Guide says something like this:
Pre-Installation
Arch Linux is optimized for the i686 processor and therefore will not run on any lower or incompatible generations of x86 CPUs (i386,i486,i586). A Pentium II or AMD K6-2 processor or higher is required. x86-64 architectures are also officially supported.
"A Pentium II or AMD K6-2 processor or higher is required"
now, there are two options: the official guide is wrong, or you would have to be able to install on a k6-2 microprocessor even if it is an i586 one. if is the secon opcion the question is "how?" because i thry to install arch on a k6-2 500mhz with the same result: "cpu is too old for this kernel"

I have a copy of Windows 7, and I am trying to bring up Boot Camp on my MacBook with Snow Leopard. But my Snow Leopard install disk is too old for Windows 7, so attempted Boot Camp install of drivers fails.

I have hand-installed the NVidia graphics driver, and I have keyboard, minimal trackpad, and hardwire to internet all working. So the WIndows machine is usable. But I am hurting for wi-fi, better trackpad, and whatever else is delivered by Boot Camp. I can't use any of the Boot Camp upgrades because I do not have XP or Vista.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use Boot Camp. There's a Boot Camp Support Community where everybody uses Boot Camp. You should also post this question there.

"Snapshot too old" for a report program

We get "ORA-1555 error: snapshot too old" for a report job, NOT an update job.
We can add rollback segments to the DB.
Why we cannot increase the commit frequency to fix this issue?
Thanks!

> 1. create a big rollback segment. search the web for keyword PSAPROLLBIG.
> 2. convert to PSAPUNDO, as started by others, check SAP note 600141.
> 3. analyze the program and if it is a Z program, ask your program to add more commits in his program.
HI all,
of course Stefan and Eric have already given the right hints here.
But the main point here is not the configuration of the UNDO management.
I know that this kind of problems bears a big mental hurdle in it, which is also difficult to jump over for many supporters.
The notion of Undo/Rollback data beeing used mainly for ROLLBACK actions is unfortunately totally wrong.
The primary and main usage of this data is to deliver the consistent view (as already explained in this thread).
So the single big question here is: why does a single statement of your report needs to visit so many pages from a certain point in time?
In the wast majority of cases this is because the statement is badly tuned.
Maybe there is no appropriate index available.
Or it's just written badly, so that unnecessary data must be read by Oracle.
Maybe the CBO does something wrong which must be checked.
Maybe the data is scattered over too many blocks and clustering them together somehow could help
The core point here is: figure out what causes the statement to touch so many pages and fix that.
Then you are most likely to come over this problem.
All other recommendations, especially the move to automatic undo management: full ack.
But the solution to your problem is to fix your statement.
regards,
Lars

Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

If it were too old, the App Store wouldn't download it.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

2006 Snow Leopard macBook too Old for a Teenager?

I have a white MacBook, 2ghz Core Duo running Snow Leopard. Is this too old to give to a friend's daughter? Would anything a 14 year old use actually still work on this? I'm guessing Chrome, etc would be safer browsers to run. I don't want to give them something they can't use. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Depends on the kid. Snow Leopard should run fine on the Web. If she's watching a lot of videos, more RAM might help.
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/Macbook_ selector
Certainly an SSD but since this is a Core Duo machine Snow Leopard is the latest OS it will run. It's probably not worth putting the money into.
I put an SSD into a 2009 MacBook Unibody (Pretty machine!) and it runs fine w/ only 4 GB RAM.

Is my Mac mini too old for Mavericks?

How do I know if my Mac mini is too old to upgrade to Mavericks from 10.6.8?

My Mac Pro too old for Yosemite?

I'm still on Snow Leopard on my Mac Pro. The build year does not appear in my system profile, but according to the Model name, identifier and serial number, it looks like my Mac Pro was built some time in 2007. I purchased and started using it in January of 2008. According to the model compatibility given by Apple, my machine may be too old. It states that machines built in 2008 or newer are compatible with Yosemite.
Does this really mean that my machine is not compatible with Yosemite?

The firmware for the Mac Pro 2,1 2007 model is EFI 32-bit, not 64-bit, even though the processors are.
EFI 1.x is not supported, only EFI 2.x and higher and no you can't put that on your system.
If you have another Mac that is you can by using 3rd party (unsupported) to get the installer package, you can't get Mountain Lion or above from Apple AppStore.
So it can but it uses a secondary boot loader to achieve that.
You also are limited by PCIe 1.x and Apple doesn't want to support older graphic cards that are not 2.0 or later.
Having a 64-bit kernel and all 64-bit drivers in the end is part of the goal, just as dropping PowerPC and Rosetta in Lion, just as dropping 68k code in favor of PowerPC was in OS 9.1.
The Mac Pro 2006-7 began in 2005, and even the 2008 is not "ideal" and does not meet the UEFI standard for a 64-bit firmware.
It still works, even better today, but Lion is the last official OS and may not get security and Safari support updates.
Two year old news from when Mountain lion came out, or that lots of people are running 10.10.x on that box.
2006/2007 Mac Pro (1,1/2,1) and OS X Yosemite ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 ... Last Page)

Will my photo book be printed even without upgrading my iPhoto? My MacBook is 2010 and too old for the iPhoto update

I get a warning when I try to order that I should upgrade iphoto before ordering. However, my 2010 MacBook is too old to accomodate the iphoto upgrade. I just want to be sure that my book will print ok since i'm spending nearly $200 on it! Can someone answer yes or no???

For your information a 2010 13" Macbook can run Mavericks and thus the latest iPhoto 9.5.1.
This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1.

Computer too old for new Itunes?

I'm trying to update to a new Itunes because I can't access the Itunes store any more. When trying to update to the new Itunes I'm told that I need to have Mac 10.7.5 or higher, and I have 10.6.8. Does that mean I'll never be able to access the store again, since my system is too old to update? How am I supposed to download new podcasts?

You can very easily upgrade your version of 10.4 to the most current version. This will only take a few clicks on your part, but will probably take a while for the computer to download and install everything.
In order to do this, you have to run 'Software Update.'
--Click on the blue Apple logo in the upper left hand corner of your screen.
--Select "Software Update"
--Wait while the computer determines what software needs to be updated (if you've never done this, or haven't in a long time, this may take a few mins)
--Select all the programs (in particular 10.4.10) and click "Install" in the lower right hand corner of the window
--You'll be asked to enter your password (if you don't know your password, you probably don't have one, so just leave it blank and click "OK" (or whatever is the blue button is)
--You'll have to agree to a bunch of software user agreements... just click agree.
--Wait... now the computer will download all the software and then install it. After the install it will restart (restart will probably take longer than usual).
This may look scary as you read it, but really all you have to do is click a few times, and then your Mac will do it all automatically.
Hopefully that works!

Mac too old for iPhone?

I got an iPhone (G3 S) today and when I tried to connect it, I was told I needed a newer version of iTunes. However, my computer won't let me download a newer version. I'm running OS X 10.4.11
So I now have an IPhone I can't use. Is there anything I can do?

You need a newer OS. 10.5.8 should work. I believe it is about 30 euro to upgrade. Apparently this is not the case ( thanks to Niel for the correction). It is possible that your computer may indeed be too old.
From the box the new iphone comes in and Apples website:
"Mac system requirements
Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
iTunes 9.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
iTunes Store account
Internet access"

Mac OS 10.5.8 too old for HP deskjet 2514 driver and I can't download new Mac software. HELP!

Hi,
I have an older Mac with the OS 10.5.8 system. It's too old to download to 10.6 the new Mac software because it's not intel-based so I can't download the driver for the printer.
I've been trolling the hp support boards and there doesn't seem to be a solution. So is my printer essentially useless with my computer?
Please help =)

hi, you would need to state what make and model the printer is for anyone to help

Mac book too old for mac store so how do i upgrade to osx lion?

hi guys i have just aquired a mac book pro and my soft ware is too old to even have the mac store so how else do i buy download and install the new operating system osx lion?

Head to the Apple menu > About this Mac > More information and give us the model identifier.
It looks like this "MacBookPro 4,1" also the RAM amount and your OS X version (like OS X 10.4 or 10.5)
From that information we can give you a idea of what or what not to do.
Except in the case of a Mac Pro tower, any Mac with 10.4 or 10.5 is typically too old to run the latest operating systems of 10.7 or 10.8 well, and since 10.9 is coming soon as well to deny even more older machines a OS X upgrade.
However OS X 10.6 is still getting them as 25% of Mac users is on it (not Safari or Java 6, use Firefox instead), so it's possible you may be able to upgrade to that and it allows you to still use the software on the machine, unlike 10.7 or later which won't use the older PPC binaries.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
