El Capitan: Compatibility with the mid 2007 iMac
Apple support tell me my mid 2007 iMac Intel is compatible with El Capitan. My iMac only has 2 GB of RAM (spec that had been originally shipped) and is running Snow Leopard, which requires only 1 GB or RAM to run. Specification technical El Capitan indicate that 2 GB of RAM to run.
I'm afraid that if I install El Capitan, my iMac mudra to stop.
I was wondering if anyone of you has experience with the installation of OSX El Capitan on a mid-2007, Intel iMac?
Thank you very much!
Based on the specifications provided, I guess it's your Mac:
2 GB of RAM is the absolute minimum necessary for the performance of El Capitan (However, most of the people here will tell you that 4 GB should be realistic, low). According to what you do with your Mac, it will not necessarily work well. From the link above, you will notice that your Mac can take up to 6 GB of RAM. If you want to update, I would like to, highly recommend, that you get more memory.

How long the mid 2007 iMac, running El Capitan 10.11.6 rely on Apple?
Hi all
I was dreading the day where it would happen, but with the release of the Sierra of the OS, I see that my iMac mid 2007 is no longer able to update for Sierra. I am El Capitan 10.11.6 running without any problems and always up-to-date security, etc. I would like to know how long my iMac will be supported by Apple and for how long it will be safe to use.
Thank you!
It is usually 7-8 years for the material, if you are already past. I don't know what's calendar from Apple for the OS, but you're on the latest version of El Capitan and I guess they will award updates security for a little; However, since Sierra was published, the focus has shifted to who and I expect updates to security for a past OS for over a year about.

Mid 2007 iMac - problem with install Clean El Capitan
I have a (very) old mid 2007 iMac that I tried to do a clean install of El Capitan to a USB flash drive.
I used the following instructions to create a bootable USB El Capitan:
http://Mashable.com/2015/10/01/clean-install-OS-x-El-Capitan/#5K.kLrHcpEq3
The USB boot media creation went through without any problems. However, when I try to start the iMac from the drive flash, iMac stays on the screen of the Apple logo for a few minutes and then restarts.
The iMac was initially Mavericks recovery utility is restarted after I erased the hard drive. To avoid any possible problems with the installer of El Capitan, I used an older DVD of Snow Leopard to remove the Mavericks recovery from disk. The drive is now without an operating system or recovery utilities.
I suspect a problem with the hardware with the hard drive or flash drive that I use. The hard drive has been erased with a single pass of zeros using disk utility. The flash drive, I regularly use as disk bootable for PC.
My only other option at this point is to install Snow Leopard, install upgrade to El Capitan, and then use the recovery of El Capitan to do a cleaning.
I was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem and has a solution.
Thank you.
Just to update.
I decided to take the long road with this to install El Capitan on this iMac.
Here are the steps I took to install OS x:
- Wipe all existing partitions on the hard disk, including my former Mavericks recovery partition.
- Installed Snow Leopard from the installation DVD. Updated Snow Leopard 10.6.8
- A ran Installer El Capitan
- Started in the El Capitan recovery utility. I have reset (formatted) the reader.
- Re-installed El Capitan.
I could not only solve problems with my key USB install media. It wasn't a complete disaster since I already had existing media that I could use for my iMac back on its feet. My mistake was wipe my existing facility for the Mavericks before check my USB as bootable. Installation took much longer than I anticipated for this reason.
So, in conclusion, do a clean install on this model iMac is possible, but I highly recommend checking any bootable media before you delete your existing installation of Mac OS. The best route (and easier) is upgrading the OS.

Forget the RAM Kingston and return it for a full refund, if you can.
Spec'd correct., tested and reliable Mac RAM DO can be bought online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory, directly from the site Crucial (crucial.com) or OWC (macsales.com).
Already mentioned several times in this post of the thread.
Any other RAM from other sources and manufacturers (except OWC or Crucial) is questionable, at best.
Good luck!

MX is the latest version of DW which was created by Macromedia, before the Adobe acquisition. I do not think that it was never actually supported by Adobe, but definitely not now (I think that DWCS6 is the oldest version still supported). The activation of this program servers have long been extinguished, it goes without saying that the registration would be also missing.
You might be able to use the trick here to activate if you encounter problems with this: error: cannot activate | Product Macromedia

I recently bought and renovated an iMac mid 2007. Updated 2 to 4 GB RAM. The next thing on the list to do, update the operating system. As you know, the iMac is technically able to update to the new OS X El Capitan. I'm a bit wary of this movement, as if I didn't want to stress not too much material. That's the spirit you have any recommendations to the extent of the Lion or Lion Mount going? Who do you think will be better for this iMac? or d you think that I should jump straight to El Capitan?
Thank you very much!
Concerning
El Capitan is your only choice, because none of the earlier versions are available for download.
Upgrade to El Capitan
You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.
Upgrade to El Capitan
To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan
1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later
2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later
5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version
7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version
To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.
My applications are compatible?

Use an external hard drive, a network or disk mode target for drag - copy the items that you want to move on. Software that came with an installer or package must be reinstalled instead.

Hello! I have an iMac mid 2007, and, of course, it only is not supported (officially) for macOS Sierra. I read that an upgrade of the CPU can support, but no one knows if this is true? Thank you!!
3MJB
No, this is not correct.
There is no official updates. Even if you have replaced the entire mother (at great expense), the installer would probably not recognize and not to install Sierra, anyway.
If you have a spare monitor, you might want to consider buying a Mac mini from recent.

Tried the update to Mac OS Sierra and it seemed that everything was fine, but at the very end of the process, it would not be completed installation. Sierra downloaded OK and when I click on install it went through a process of 15 to 30 minutes, rebooted and then watched as he was finishing the installation for a few minutes. But then I got similar error message (a gray window clear on a gray screen dark, with a round Sierra icon upwards):
"Mac OS could not be installed on your computer.
An internal error has occurred.
Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again

I have a Macbook Pro retina mid 2012 with a processor clocked at 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M 1024 MB graphics, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM and a SM768E of APPLE SSD flash hard drive. I ran disk utility, and it says everything is fine. I tried different approaches, several times, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to install the new macOS Sierra. I even wiped my entire computer and started from scratch, by installing a clean OS X 11 (El Capitan) and then try to install the Sierra, but still it does not work. This makes me think that maybe that's a problem with my App Store account? But given that I was connected, I'm not sure that it could be. Or maybe it's hardware related? I do not know. Even the SR Advisor. Apple I was talking with the phone was perplexed.
Super frustrated, certainly would like some advice, thanks!
