Can I install Airdrop on my iMac 2009?

I am trying to upgrade my OSX 10.5.8 on my iMac9, 1 with Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I have installers for Yosemite and El Captain on my MacBook Pro, but I can't find a way to get them to the older iMac. It's current OSX is not supported by Dropbox, the file is too large for e-mail, even when condensed, and I don't have a CD that is large enough. Airdrop can be installed on my iMac and who would do the trick?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Catherine

Your iMac does support AirDrop.

To update to OS X, you will need to do it in steps. First of all, on your iMac using Software Update in the  menu. This should take you to OS X 10.6.8 who will install the Mac App Store application. Once this is done, launch and use the screen more compatible fo updates updates.

    Bought updates, to CS6 CS5 and LR3 to LR4. AkaMi Download Manager has been paired with CS6 download. Clicked on Download Manager and no problem with CS6 download and installation. LR4 had not a download Akami Manager click on or on the alternate download method. Only option is to click on download. Files download but cannot open on my computer.

    Lightroom 4 does not use a download manager for downloading.  If you encounter a problem launching the download then I recommend trying another web browser.  This is probably due to put security, add-on, or installed the plug-in.

    My wife has an iMac (2009) vintage with a hard drive internal 640 G which is fill to the top. She wondered if it can replace it with a larger drive, and if it is not a useful expenditure. (The computer plays very well this time, incidentally.)

    Any recommendations welcome!

    Thank you

    Yes, you can, if it is quite difficult to replace HARD drive in iMac by yourself. You must order the replacement to the service provider.

    Why not connect the external HARD drive and use it as data such as images and music player?
