What is the best operating system i can run

Processor 2 GHZ Intel Core Duo Memory 2 GB 667 MHZ  DDR2  SDRAM, currently running Version 10.4.11
<Title Edited by Host>

Just so you know, a Mac with an Intel processor is not a G-series Mac (i.e., yours isn't a G5).
"Best" depends upon what  you need, though if you only have a Core Duo processor and not a Core 2 Duo you are limited to OSX 10.4.11-10.6.8.  With your ocmputer I would grab a copy of Snow Leopard (10.6) before they really are all gone.
Apple no longer carries 10.6 in its stores or online. Telephone Apple to purchase a Snow Leopard disc. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but expect to pay much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

  • G3 blueberry clamshell - what is the highest operating system it will run

    I have a G3 Blueberry clamshell that has OS 8.6, 160 MB built in memory. What is the highest operating system this can be upgraded to?

    Before you install OS X make sure you check the ibook's firmware - chances are it hasn't been updated. You should be running version boot rom version 4.1.7. You can check this out in your system profiler under production information. I think you have to be running OS9.1 or OS9.2 to do this. Once you have installed OS X you won't be able to do the firmware update.

  • What is the newest operating system I can upgrade to with an IMAC (maximum 4gb memory) purchased in late 2007

    I have an IMAC (purchased in late 2007) that has been upgraded to the maximum memory of 4GB.   Current operating system is 10.6.8.
    How much farther can I upgrade the operating system?

    The IMAC was upgraded by a local computer service store because we have dial up.  The person who did the upgrade said I couldn't upgrade any further because the IMAC would run to slow.  Here is what I have now.
      Model Name: iMac
      Model Identifier: iMac7,1
      Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors: 1
      Total Number Of Cores: 2
      L2 Cache: 4 MB
      Memory: 4 GB
      Bus Speed: 800 MHz
      Boot ROM Version: IM71.007A.B03
      SMC Version (system): 1.20f4
      Serial Number (system): W87482Y9X88
      Hardware UUID: 00000000-0000-1000-8000-001B63BE8AEA
    Any thoughts on realistic upgrade potential?  I need to do something as my current Safari version (5.1.10)  is not working properly on some important web sites.
    Thanks!

    I have a Mac running OS X 10.4.11 with a 1.83 intel core duo   what is the highest operating system upgrade that I can get?

    You can check to see if yours meets the system requirements for Snow Leopard - that would be the highest; Lion will not run on your machine.
    Please note that the minimum 1 GB RAM is a minimum - 2 GB would be better.

    You can buy it at the Apple Store, other online resellers, or ebay (but be careful there to only bid on a new retail shrinkwrapped package to you don't get suckered into a used install disk which won't work on other machines).

  • What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files?

    What are the best storage systems to archive inactive (but still used) apps and files of all types? I already have a Time Casule which I back up on and I'm needing to create more space in my flash drive in my Mac Pro, so I need another external storage system I can use to archive all that I don't currently need. I may still wish to edit and use the files, and I am not very techy and am a broke student... so anything grossly expensive is a no-no for me (between $50 and $200 is idyllic). If you could simply post links of different good/useful hard-drives that I can use, I'd be thankful.
    Thank you
    p.s. I'm australian, so anything within this country would be great. Or I can deal with somewhere that has cheap shipping.   

    It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Yes:
    Buy two external drives. Use one for Time Machine. Be sure this drive is at least twice the capacity of your computer's hard drive. Use the second drive as a bootable clone of your computer's hard drive. Should something happen you can immediately get the computer up and running from the clone until your restore from the Time Machine backup. This is what is called redundancy. Should either backup drive fail, there's another to take its place. Backup redundancy is very important. You can never have too many backups.

  • What is the best security system for a Mac?

    I am curious as to what is the best security system for a Mac. Is it Norton or something else? I have a Macbook Pro with Lion and I want to make sure I avoid all of the viruses and malware out there.

    Hi c,
    General consensus here is to stay far, far away from Norton, and that most anti-malware software for Mac causes more issues than they will ever avoid.
    Most Mac users run bare.
    I still haven't seen anything in the wild, no OS X virus really going beyond proof of concept; some malware, yes, but not a virus. And the existing malware requires users to "open the door" and basically tell the malware it's ok to do its thing. I'm not sure there'll ever be software which can overcome the actions of such a user.
    For those who feel the need, ClamX has been often suggested.

  • What is the best type of server can I set up on open directory?

    A 15" mid-2009 MBP RAM specifications are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    As has been pointed out, OWC is an excellent source for Mac compatible RAM.  Crucial is another first rate source for Mac RAM.  RAM from either vendor will work just as well as any purchased from Apple with the bonus of being less expensive and having a lifetime guarantee.
    Ciao.

  • What is the current operating system on a Mac laptop?

    I'm shopping for a Mac laptop...what is the current operating system for a mac laptop?

    Mavericks is no longer available from Apple — unless you purchase an older refurb unit from Apple that still has it installed. Yosemite 10.10.0 (now 10.10.2) superseded it. Mavericks came with my May 2014 MacBook Air, and I had no issues with Mavericks, or applications on it. I subsequently upgraded to Yosemite, because I prefer to stay current — and have had no issues with Yosemite either.
