Imac purchased 6/07, when trying to upgrade says model not supported? have plenty of ram and free space? so what is not compatible in the model i have?

i purchased my imac 6/07 ... model 6,1    it has 4 gb ram and plenty of free space, also connected to time machine for backup. currently have latest lion os 10.7.4.
when i went to upgrade i get a model not supported message?  what spec or device integral to my model is holding this back?  can i get around this or am i just at a brick wall?  would like to upgrade if possible? have a 2.33 ghz intel core duo processor, 4 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM
anyone know what is going on with apple and this model, wife has last years mac mini and it's upgrade went off without a hitch
thanks !

Apple has tightened its requirements for this OS upgrade, and some older Macs— even ones that qualified for Lion — won't make the cut for Mountain Lion.
The general system requirements are straightforward:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
Apple also lists which models support Mountain Lion:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
From what i've read elsewhere, your older model of iMac has a CPU and logic board that partially runs in 32 bit mode at times.  Mountain Lion requires that they run Exclusively in pure 64 bit mode.  Yours cannot be made to do that.
Hope this helps

  • In Photoshop Elements 10, when I try to save a photo, I get the error message: "Could not save file because there is not enough memory (RAM)." I have plenty of RAM and no other programs running. Why am I getting this message?

    Why?

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help

  • IMac shuts down when trying to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard

    My iMac, purchased in November of '07, came installed with Tiger but also came with a Leopard OS update disk. When trying to upgrade to Leopard last week, every time I rebooted off the disk the computer would run for a minute in the gray screen and then suddenly shut off with no warning message. I checked HD in disk utilities, repaired my permissions and tried again with the same results. I've got 30 gigs of free space and 4 gigs of RAM which should be plenty. I talked to Apple support who walked me through the installation procedure with the same results and ended up shipping me a new install disk which came today. I am getting the same shut down on reboot with their replacement disk. Apple actually sent me two white disks. The first is labeled "For Mac Computers, Mac OSX Install disc 1" The second is labeled "MacBook, Mac OSX Install Disc 2" Since the second disc is label "MacBook" is it possible they sent me the wrong set of discs?
    Thanks

    rk87,
    Thanks for replying. I have a 500 gig hard drive which yields a 465gig usable capacity, so, at 30 Gigs available, I don't have 10% of the drive free. This may be an issue, but my more immediate problem is that I can't get the install disk to boot up at all.
    I called apple support again see what I could find out about the install disks which wouldn't work. The support guy seemed like he had a lot of knowledge about the system and suggested trying the Tiger install disk (that came with the machine) to see if it would boot up, which it did. After that success, I tried the Leopard update disk in another iMac I have at home and it worked as it should. Since the disk worked fine on the other mac, the guy at tech support speculated that there is some sort of hardware issue causing the install shut down on the computer in question.
    His speculation was about the memory installed in the machine which might be the issue. I had bought the computer from an Apple Authorized store here in town who upgraded the RAM to 4GIGs using third-party memory. Even though the memory seems to have functioned properly for the past year, apple support says that there could be some sort of incompatibility with the third party product causing the install disk not to work.
    Apple support told me about running a memory diagnostic off of the Tiger install disk by rebooting with the disk in the computer and hold down the "D" key. After I got off the phone I ran the test which turned out to take an hour in its long version. The test indicated no problems, but apple had told me that it might not be totally conclusive. At this point, I'm taking the computer back to the store where I bought it and will let them figure it out.

    Make sure your Macs can run Mavericks >  OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    The v10.9.2 link you posted from is not an upgrade. It's an update for Mavericks only.

    I am trying to upgrade EPM 8.9(8.49.23) to EPM 9.1 (8.53.08). During dataconversion step the AE process finished succssfully in few seconds. When i see the log it says "There are no conversions to run for upgrade path PF89 (18028,10003)". Please let me know why it didnt do any conversion. Am i missing something?

    yes, that app engine didnt inserted any rows. So now when i tried to drill down i found that there was no data in the "new demo" database on table UPG_DATACONV. That is the reason for all this.
    When i applied required for upgrade patch in demo it said couple of patch already exists so those update i skipped. Now when i check upd877654 has a step which imports the data in this table. my change assistant told that the update is already available in my demo so i skipped. Now i am not sure what to do.
    I tried reimporting the data and running the analyzer again. But worried that there can be any issues due to this.

  • Issue when trying to upgrade FB 4.7 to AIRDSK 3.6

    Hi,
    I'm desperately trying to upgrade FB 4.7 to AIRSDK 3.6 since 3 weeks.
    I've followed the various solutions found on forums and the various processes displayed by the "helpx.adobe.com" pages, but none of them works.
    So please, if a member of Adobe Support Team or someone who succeeded to perform the upgrade reads this, I need help and if possible a detailed strp by step process.
    Thks in advance for answers.

    I think i tried all the available ones, and there are many. Why can't we
    have a definitive automatic upgrade solution instead of having to do
    such a number of manipulations ?

  • Error code 23 when trying to upgrade???

    Error code 23 when trying to upgrade/ also have lost wi-fi connection.  A coindence or related problem?

    Hi Dauby51,
    You may need to uninstall and reinstall PSE 11, then reapply the updates.
    Make sure you don't have any disk cleanup utilities that might be running during and after the install that may be altering any of the files installed or installation paths.
    Give this a try and let me know how it goes,
    Regards,
    Pete

    Well I spoke too soon.
    The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
    Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
    +"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
    +"Cannot Get Mail+
    +THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
    Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
    Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.
