It's true that I shouldn't update OS if I'm mid-FCP7 project?
Hello!
I'm working on a 2011 MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
I still have OS 10.7.5 and was told to update my OS in the middle of a very Long term documentary project which I hope at the end of this year. (I do not edit/rendering a lot on the laptop, just organize images to hand at the wide to a Publisher.) The laptop also has personal files, and even though I know I shouldn't do this, I'm stuck not being able to buy a new iMac because it would have the updated operating system, and as I understand it, I wouldn't be able to use FCP7).
And Yes, I always use the FCP 7 and have already reduced sequences and have all the Organization of the project in FCP7.
I know I'm running in trouble with the inability to upgrade, and as fast as I can go to the end, I want to be sure it's true that I can't upgrade my OS if I'm mid - FCP project. Anyone out there can confirm this?
I need the hand out of a new editor who would like to update or change the editing systems, and I guess they will know more about all this... I just feel a little late and worried about the security and enforcement issues with always 10.7.5 and FCP 7.
The operating system upgrade to another version can sometimes cause important disturbances, other times it works well and fine. Take a full bootable backup of your system to an external drive so you can cancel it if an upgrade problems. Time Machine backups are also useful, but they take longer to restore & are less convenient.
If FCP 7 and your operating system works OK now I would leave him alone, the old adage applies - "If it's not broken, don't fix it."
If you encounter other problems (such as inability to browse the sites you need because older browsers), then update, but don't forget that you have several days to investigate the fixation of what does not work.
Security for your Mac can be better on a new OS, but simply by following best practices should enable 10.7 to stay quite safe for example browse to questionable sites with free software 'hacked', avoid to click on the links in the spam e-mail, do not install the software from random places you do not trust , stay out of other peoples wifi networks, use the Mac behind a router, use different passwords for everything...
You should look at the apps rely you on and see if they work on the operating system you intend to upgrade to, look at this for reports from other users...
Personally I don't never upgrades of the OS in the workplace that pays the bills or is critical in other ways.
P.S. Please indicate what OS you plan to use and if you have already purchased on the App Store. Apple has removed the possibility of buying several older operating systems, so you will not be able to go for nothing, but the latest OS release. It is ins 't clear for me what model you have, use' Apple menu > about this Mac "to confirm that, to better help them."

I wonder if these sites are trying to make me download malware or virus. If I go to the Firefox site and it says that I use the most recent version, I think Mozilla tells me and wonder "why a site told me that I have to update? I hope only that Mozilla and not blindly download something without studying. Am I paranoid?
No, it's a scam which is the link to the site, mozilla does not use a site to ask you to update, it uses an automatic update.

I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?
If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.
It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.
Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.
Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

I currently have Safari Version 6.1.6 and that you need to update. Should what version of safari I download?
The latest version of Safari is 9.1. Apple page on this subject is here. Perhaps the reason best/only to use an earlier version if you are using an older version of OS X (pre 10.9.5) or a former Mac (before Intel processor.) You told us all this, in your question.
