• Why can't I just spend 10.7.5 to El Capitan on my early 2008 13 in. MacBook?

  I recently upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7.5. And while I'm happy with it, I thought, since I met the requirements of the system, I would upgrade to El Capitan. So when I went to do, he said I couldn't. From what I can tell, I have enough memory for it. So I do not know why it will not be upgraded. Any ideas or advice are appreciated.

  Because EFI computer is 32-bit. Mac OS X 10.8 and newer require a 64-bit.

• MacBook, in early 2008, obsolete?

  I currently have a Macbook, 13-inch, early 2008 model. I supported my 5s to iTunes iPhone successfully, but now I need to restore my iPhone to my backup 5s 6s. I am currently MAC OS X lion 10.7.5 which does not support my iPhone 6 s. I just want to check that I have no other choice than to get a new laptop. If this is the case, what should I do with my current macbook? Now it is just junk? It still works very well... Thank you!

  You're right not being able to sync the old MacBook with a new iPhone running iOS9.  Realize that all your hardware and software must come from roughly the same generation, and that's just the way it is with technology, unless the laws are passed requiring compatibility back (like it with automakers by law, have to stock parts for 20 years).

  One option is to use the 6s in a limited without synchronization.  My wife has never synchronized its 4S with a computer.  It depends on how you use your phone.  Even if you have iTunes purchases a lot of features have been moved to the iCloud in any case if you do not need sync for music purposes.  You can save to iCloud, etc..

  Another option is to buy a newer computer. You can try to sell the old property that he truly crossed a line now that he is unable to launch a new generation system.  If all you want to do is get rid of it, I'm sure, you can find someone who would be happy to have, or you can recycle it by Apple.

• Yosemite to El Capitan on old MacPro (early 2008)

  I use an old MacPro (early 2008) on Yosemite with 20 GB of RAM. Is it safe to upgrade to El Capitan? I am afraid that it might slow down and I can't afford to work be slower. I know that I have to update my system, but until I can afford, I want to be careful on what updates, I have install. I run for most of the photographic applications like CC PhotoShop, Lightroom, Capture One, and the usual complement of productivity tools. I had to pretty much quit Lightroom because it runs too slowly.

  I don't think any of the applications you mentioned that everything would go faster in El Capitan, in view of your computer.

• Yesterday, I downloaded the upgrade to El Capitan in a Mac Pro (early 2008) running Yosemite 10.10.5, and today I can not start the upgrade

  Yesterday, I downloaded the upgrade to El Capitan in a Mac Pro (early 2008) running Yosemite 10.10.5, and today I can not start the upgrade.

  The only option I have found is to click again on the download button, but the circle of download rest bike for a long time and ultimately that nothing happens.

  See if that helps...

  Start with CMD + r or the Option/alt key to boot from the recovery partition & use utility disk from there to repair the disk, and then repair permissions.

• early 2008 mac pro running capitan

  My hearts early 2008 pro mac will no longer responds and the fan speeds. It takes multiple attempts to hear the startup sound and then not in mode 'sleep', machine works very well.

  "Sleep" mode is not automatic. I put on standby. Anyway, once invited to machine awake can show monitor 60 seconds up to end up alone as described above.

  Sorry to hear that you are experiencing problems, .bonitamacpro. I assume you did the usual stuff, zap pram, reset the SMU/PMC and all that. You can also check on the battery pram itself and perhaps the card video that maybe needing a good dusting out. I (we) don't have much to go outside of the info that you have given us here... If I remember correctly, press and hold the "D" key on startup starts the Apple Hardware test, which can be useful. You can try to start up the recovery partition (command and the keys R keys at startup), may be running disk utility, reinstall the operating system.  Etrecheck can be useful as well, but I have no idea how to do to get this going, but I'm sure that someone else doesn't. Perhaps it may be bad ram? Sorry, my "magical crystall ball" went dark...

  Good luck

• an early 2008 mac mini and want to know what OSX iI can be upgraded to.

  I have an early 2008 mac mini, model A1283 and the OS x 10.6.8.  Is there an OSX I can pass safely to this machine?

  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?

  See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

  
  

  Upgrade to Lion

  If your computer does not meet the requirements to install the Mavericks, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

  You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  Lion system requirements

  1 mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,

  or Xeon processor

  2. 2 GB of memory

  3 OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8) recommended

  4. 7 GB of available space

  5. certain features require an Apple ID; conditions apply.

  I suggest that stick you with Snow Leopard because the Lion is a bit a dog. If you really need to upgrade over Snow Leopard, then you need a new computer.
