Is my Mac OSX compatible with Mountain Lion?  My Mac has 4 GB.

I in a bit of a dilema.  I have a paper due at midnight and I need to add in pictures.  I was told that Pages is the best for what I need to do.  I had to update to Mountain Lion to be able to download Pages, though.  Will my Mac be able to handle Mountain Lion?  My Mac has 4 GB and Mountain Lion has 4.4 GB.  And how long will it take to download?

  • Is my mac pro compatible with mountain lion?

    Is my mac pro compatible with mountain lion/ 2 x 2.66 Ghz Dual core processors?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
    William

    And FBDIMMs which use to cost $300+ for 8GB can now be had for... 2 x $34.
    I paid $300 2 x 512MB August 2006,, then 2 x 1GB $400 March '07
    So as long as you only need 16GB you are safe, it is when you need 4GB, or the rare 8GB FBDIMM and 32GB or more, that yes, time to part ways and get a system that supports cheaper DDR3.
    Except, right now, 10.8.2 'broke' support for more than 64GB and there were people depending on and using 96GB.  Or that more than 48GB also 'broke' the Apple Pro RAID card; a card that still does not support 3TB drives. 10.8.2 does though provide support for more current Nvidia cards (10.7.4 also showed support just not for GTX 6xx series). 3rd party graphic support has always been a weakness, until now.
    Apple Mac Pro is a workstation. Except when it is not. It is still not clear how they missed these things.
    What 32-bit EFI won't get you is 64-bit kernel mode and abilty to fully use more powerful graphic cards or memory addresses for a single process beyond 4GB or graphic card support with more than 2GB (and 2GB use to always fail in OS X in the past).

    To make sure your Mac meets the requirements for Mountain Lion, check the model number. This information supplements what Paul_31 gave you.
    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
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 4,1 or higher
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher

    Hello royalaqua,
    I do think you should ask yourself if upgrading to Lion is the right course to take.
    Snow Leopard is an excellent OS and Lion has literally been frozen out after barely a year.   Remember too that some of your apps may not work with Lion (those that have Rosetta, for example) so that could mean more new purchases.   Plus you may need to uprate your RAM too.

  • How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Boook/  It is the white plastic model and is now running Snow Leopard.  It has 4 GB of Ram but this computer is not compatible with MOuntain Lion.  I cannot find Lion anywhere.

    How can I find Lion to download it to my Mac Book?  It has Snow Leopard and 4GB RAM but it the white plastic model and is not compatible with Mountain Lion.  I have been told by the Genius Bar that it will handle Lion.

    That underpowered model is better left on 10.6.8 for performance reasons, also the fact that it's dated and 10.7 will likely require you to buy alll new software to replace the PPC based software your currently using.
    If you insist, then call Apple via phone and they will sell you 10.7 Lion and provide a link to download it.
    My 2¢ is to save up for a new machine, as that one is about to kick the bucket, they only last about 4.5 years or so depending upon use/enviroment.
    If your having problems with 10.6.8, perhaps some of the links here can assist, 10.6 is faster than 10.7 in fresh install tests.

  • Is CS 5 compatible with Mountain Lion OS?

    Is CS 5 compatible with Mountain Lion OS?

    Yes, we can confirm that Audition CS6 is compliant with Mountain Lion (Mac OS 10.8) and their are currently no known issues between the product and the new OS.
    While Audition CS5.5 is not the latest version of Audition, I can also confirm that it appears to work just fine as well.
    With the minimal backend architectural changes made to the new Mac OS (between Lion and Mountain Lion), we see no reason for users to be concerned.
    I hope that helps.
    Thanks,
