MacBook Pro update 10.6.8.

My Macbook Pro 10.6.8 is too old for the updates of security for Safari and Chrome.  What can I do?  I can't afford a new computer right now.

Switch to Firefox or upgrade the operating system of the computer.

To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try to download El Capitan. If you get told that it is incompatible with your computer or not desired, choose about this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or CPU Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) and 2 GB of RAM, and if this is the case, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7; the Apple Online Store also sells codes for 10.8 Mountain Lion to download, but it has the same system requirements as El Capitan.

Back up your data and control your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer do not support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

  • End of 2011 MacBook Pro update

    Can I use memory Module Apple 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (PC3-12800) - 2 x 4 GB to upgrade my end 2011 MacBook Pro (4 GB / 1333 Mhz)?  The representative said it's for 2012, but I read here that some have used it without problems on years later.

    Mac can be very picky with ram, unlike Windows machines. For that it works better with no trouble now or later, be sure to buy ram designed for Macs. Match sticks and speeds. Some Mac does not start if a faster ram is used. Go with 2 x 4 GB 1333 mhm, same SODIMM, made for Apple products.

  • MacBook Pro update won't complete download

    There is an update of safety for my MBP. I have disabled Avira, network connectivity is good... Download arrives at 149 MB 414 MB and just download indicator goes away. If I click UPDATE again, it grey out for a second or two and just turns on. I have to close the app store app and reopen it to click on UPDATE (not ALL, it's the only expectation of update) so he can ask "Download & Restart"... Once I recognize, download starts but turns off again at 149 MB.

    This happens each side the 2.4 and 5 ghz my connection. I rebooted several times MBP to nothing does not.

    Thank you.

    Try to download and install the update in 'safe' mode: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple support.

    I disabled Avira...

    It is not enough to simply disable bad designed "anti-virus" garbage. It must be uninstalled in accordance with his instructions. Write back if you need some help with that.

  • OS for mid 2009 MacBook Pro update

    I work for a non-profit on a laptop given to us by a local research laboratory. So the first thing to understand is that I have to find "the best way to make things work" even though it is not as advanced or great power that may be desirable in an ideal situation. Who says:

    I've been running OS 10.6.8 on a MacBookPro mid-2009. From now on, the software companies are all pulling the versions of software that I can use on 10.6.8 so I have no choice but to update my operating system.

    My concern: two years ago I updated a MacBookPro 2007 10.6.8 to 10.7 (Lion) and he died 3 weeks later. The technology at the Mac Genius Bar told me that it was because the real hardware - hard drive of the machine - was so old that the upgrade has been too hard on it and it burned. I understand that, even if the hard drive is not burning after an upgrade, the computer may run very slowly and for the same reason (physical constraints). It would also be a problem.

    Given all this, what is the best suggestion for the safest possible and achievable OS upgrade, that I can put on my machine so I can stay in business? Can probably manage 10.7, even if the material is nearly 7 years old? What 10.8.5 10.8 or same?

    I realize that system specs say it can work even in Yosemite. But I don't want to take the risk that go well, given my recent disasters.

    Thanks for any advice you can provide.

    You never mentioned the amount of RAM the machine has-

    You can always switch to Mountain Lion 10.8 - here

    There is a cost, but I don't know if you call or otherwise contact Apple with your situation - you can get a redemption code - well no harm in trying

  • The Sierra of MacOS will propose for the Mid 2009 MacBook Pro in the near future?

    I have a model Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and when I try to upgrade the software of OS systems to the Sierra, he refused my request to download because it "cannot be downloaded to this computer." I noticed other Mac computers, for example, iMac Mid 2009 or newer and MacBook Mid 2009 or more recent systems only one are close to mine are candidates to download the software, but the MacBook Pro is the only one that is not on this list for availability. So, my question to my question is, will be available Mid 2009 MacBook Pro updated to day for Sierra anytime soon? And if not, why?

    Please let me know what your answer is as soon as possible.

    Thank you!

    My answer is no.

    However, as long as I and everyone here, do not work for Apple, my answer is certainly not authoritative.

    However, as I've used Apple computers for more than 30 years, he never had a case when they released an additional OS that works on previously excluded material.

  • VTEncoderXPCService the process using 100% CPU, slowing down of the MacBook Pro to a crawl

    I'm running OS X 10.11.4 on my mid-2009, 2.26 GHz Core 2 Duo 13 - inch MacBook Pro, updated updated to 8 GB of RAM. For these last days, a process called 'VTEncoderXPCService' has been constantly running like crazy on my Mac, using about 150% CPU. This slows down my Mac to a crawl, especially Safari, where I usually end up with beach balls every 20 to 40 seconds. I need help [figure out what is the cause, as my Mac is basically unusable because of the drop in performance.

  • MacBook Pro crashed after update to macOS Sierra

    After I tried to update my MacBook Pro for macOS Sierra, this screen came:

    In case you can't read it, it says "apple.com/support-1007F'.

    After restart my MacBook Pro, he asked for my Wi - Fi connection information, so I typed in it and it showed a loading bar. Then came to this screen:

    I didn't know which option to choose, what is called Apple Care to help make a choice. They said to choose 'Reinstall OS X' so I did. Then my screen says something like "click and drag to the browser that you want to download in" but nothing has popped up.

    I don't know what is happening with my computer. Hard drive failure? This update was not the largest update so I don't know why all this is happening.

    If you have any ideas or solutions, please respond! That would be incredible!

    Thank you guys!
