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.

Anything I can do, Niel?
Enjoy it and by the time your machine finally kicks the bucket there will be three more cats gone by.
Likely there won't be any keyboards, trackpads, cd/dvd or hard drives or even screens.
They will just stick a Mac-borg implant in your head and you wave your fingers around in the air to access data.
Think of all the money you'll save in between! -
Hello everyone I need help! Why i cant Update to Mountain Lion if Im gonna try to update my Macbook Pro with Mac OS X 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. It always says "Your Software is up to date" which is only Mac Os X ver. 10.7.5
Not sure what exactly you did (or not), but it looks as if you should attempt doing it all again, only this time all right and by the book. Many millions have done so, and sure it'll work for you as well.
If you've indeed purchased ML already, you'll find it exactly there in the App Store: under Purchases. -
iMac 7.1 (2.47 Ghz Intel Core Duo w/2GB memory) operating OSX v 10.9.5. At the core level I find two Library folders, one within the System Folder and one by itself with the other core level folders - mostly same content. Is this right or do I have a duplication problem?
The system is slow. -
All of a sudden my MacBook Pro (Granted it is an old computer) started having a red cast to the display. All shading and shadows are red now. Up until yesterday, I never had any problems with the display. Is it just getting too old? Computer works fine otherwise.

downloading mac os x 10.6
Exactly how old is your Mac?
If it is an old PowerPC CPU Mac, then OS X 10.5.8 is the highest OS X version that can be installed on that Mac.
If your Mac is an older Intel CPU Mac, then you can install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard on that Mac
To find out info about your system,
Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of the OS X main menu bar. A drop down menu appears.
Click About this Mac. A smaller popup window appears. This gives you basic info like what version of OS X your iMac is running, the speed of your iMac's CPU and how much RAM is installed.
Click on the button that says More Info. A larger window appears giving you a complete overview of your iMac's hardware specs. Highlight all of this info and copy/paste all of this into another reply to this post, editing out your iMac's serial number before actually posting the reply.
This will tell us everything about your iMac so we may begin to help with your iMac issues. -
Using new battery on old 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
I am in a remote location, under a deadling. My 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro battery cable finally went south. I'm in a studio with half a dozen brand new battery units ... for 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro's.
Can I use the battery from a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 MacBook Pro on my older 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo???
All ears,
BenAs I wrote above, there is no possibility of using one of the new batteries in your old machine: it absolutely won't fit. Furthermore, removing the battery from one of the new machines will void the warranty on that machine, so even if you could contrive a wiring harness to connect one of the new batteries externally to your MBP, there would be good reason not to do it.
And if you did, there is no way to predict how the charging system in your machine would respond to the incorrect battery. Would it be charged at all? Would it be charged only to the capacity of the battery specified for use in your computer, which is far lower than the capacity of the new battery? Would the SMC in your machine recognize the battery and distribute the power from it correctly? The answers to these and many other related questions are anybody's guess.
So the solution to your immediate problem will be to move your work onto one of the newer computers, finish it up by the deadline, and order a new battery for your own computer. -

Can I download InDesign on my Mac OS 10.6.8 & 2.4 GHz Intel Core duo processor?
From the Creative Cloud FAQ:
To take advantage of all the great features in the new Creative Cloud desktop apps, customers should upgrade to a newer version of Mac OS X. Some of the new CC apps do not support v10.6 and will not install. Minimum system requirements for each Creative Cloud app can be found on the tech specs page on Adobe.com. -
How do I update my macbook pro with 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors from OSX 10.5.8 to 10.7?

iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, running Lion 10.7.3, won't recognize external speaker jack, any suggestions? Got a brand new iMac and purchased external speakers for same. Hooked them into external speaker jack and the computer does not recognize the external speaker jack. I then plugged them into the external head phone jack and the computer recognized the head phone jack. How can I get the computer to recognize the speaker jack?
Thanks "a brody," my mistake, I was mistaking the "audio in" jack for a speaker output jack. I have some Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 speakers with a built in amplifier that I am using and they sound beautiful. I do have them plugged into the correct jack, but was thinking there was a speaker out put and headphone out put.
Thanks again for correcting me, I feel much better now that I know my brand new iMac isn't defective, lol. -

Upgrade path for iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo from OSX 10.5.8 to mountain lion
Hi,
I have an Apple iMac 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gbytes of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
It is currently running MAC OSX 10.5.8 --
I would like to know the proper upgrade path to the most current version of OSX which is
compatible with this hardware.
Thanks!The starting point is to call Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask to purchase a copy of Mac OS 10.6 "Snow Leopard." It will cost about US$20 plus shipping. When you receive it, install it and use Software update to get to OS10.6.8; the updates are free to that point.
Now you will have the App Store app in your Dock. You can use that to purchase Mac OS 10.8 "Mountain Lion," the lastest. According to the MacTracker database, your iMac--which is either a Mid-2007 or Early 2008--can support 10.8.
CAVEATS:
• your iMac is at or near the minimum level to suport 10.8; performance may not be stellar
• if you currently run any old PowerPC apps (like Office 2004), they will still work unders 10.6 but no higher. You will have to upgrade to newer versions to continue using them. Office 2008 runs on either PPC or the newer Intel Macs. Office 2011 runs only on Intel Macs. -
Can I Upgrade my computer to Lion. I have a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo Processor. My computer is 6 years old. Right now I have Snow Leopard.
I have an old iMac about that age that I upgraded to Lion to test my 3rd party applications for compatibility. It upgraded quite simply. Please backup or save all your info/etc to an external CD/DVD/Hard drive, then try to run the installer. The Lion installer will analize your Mac for compatibility before it does anything, and will alert you to it's decisision. My 17" iMac is also 2 GHZ Intel core duo. Surprisingly for many of the things I use it for it works as good as my multi thousand dollar MacPro workstation. Best of luck. But Lion isn't compatible with many third party applications and drivers for printers; scanners; etc.

1. No.
2. Yes. Phone the online Apple Store, order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, install it, and run Software Update.

Question: I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory. It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?
The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images). You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer. If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it. If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
NOTE: If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.
