Mavericks will install on MacBook Air 2008

Hi all

I bought a MacBook Air, which seems to me to be a 2008 model.

Its installed with Leopard 10.5 which seems to be old and things like iTunes and QuickTime are old and obsolete because Leopard is too old for me to install the latest version.

I found some USB drives bootable on eBay loaded with the Mavericks , but I noticed in the description that the supported devices are MacBook Air late 2008.

I don't know whether mine is end of 2008.

Surely, I can spend Leopard to unlock more features with the software up to date.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Based on MacTracker and the tecniques of El Capitan, the ' MacBookAir2, 1 "MacBook Air (late 2008) model and later version can run software current of El Capitan - if there is enough disk space and memory available.  See the tech for the minimum requirements.

If you have 10.5, you buy OS X 10.6 Apple and upgrade to it and from there you can move towards more current OS X software.

  • How can I get iMovie on my old MacBook Air 2008

    Hey!
    A few days ago, I bought a used MacBook Air 2008. The price was good, and it works fine, except for one small problem: I can not install iMovie, I really need. I can't install from app store being the last OC my MacBook can run Lion OC X 10.7.5. Thus, as did not get the disc with all the iLife applications
    I wonder if there is any other way I can get it on my Mac, since I need it a lot.

    If you have any ideas, please share. I'd appreciate any help!

    Thanks in advance

    I have translated a few words because I have the Dutch version of my iOS.

    for some reason, no product Adobe flash and other well-known won't install on a case-sensitive drive.

    Can it be solved without resetting things together?

    Or is it possible for adobe to do an update on this?

    I do not understand why you do these restrictions during the installation!

    Edit:

    If I need to reinstall my stuff together, how can I with a macbook air that does not have a cd/dvd player?

    I suppose also that it removes my entire HD?

    Any help is well accepted!

    I would like to buy/use of the PS of the trial see wheter I want to buy it or not.

    No, the software Adobe does not support case-sensitive drives:

    Error "No supported drives case-sensitive" or similar facility. Mac OS

    You will need to reformat all / reset your system and reinstall OS x from scratch. And this isn't a forced restriction, API Apple for it is just too unreliable and Adobe does not use them.

  • Flash Player is not installed, even though said installed on MacBook Air. Can you help me please?

    I have a macbook air. My computer crashed 2 days ago and since I rebooted it, since 2 days I have ' plugins blocked» I installed, update... what he said I needed, although there was an option to pay for additional stuff I didn't pay. but the update was installed, didn't work. I uninstalled flash player and reinstalled twice, he still considered blocked. I closed and restarted twice, after uninstalling and after installation. No luck. I get a check for installation message that it is not on my computer, or I don't have the right to run. I read something on the search for programs on IE... but I use safari. I need help please.

    I got it fixed with a personal link gave to someone else with the same problem. The link was problematic... I had to use it 3 times... but finally I found the download for version 15.0 on my computer and finally I installed it and finally things work again. The problem seems to be related to having to find the version 15.0. Nevermind, I lost two days trying to do what should be a simple update.

  • Install on MacBook Air - DVD player not recognized

    Strange problem.

    Just picked up my MacBook Air today and went to install VMWare Fusion.  Plugged in an optical dvd/cd drive and it is recognized by OSX - the disc appears on the desktop and I can navigate it very well.

    I launch Fusion and he sees not the drive - no button continue unless I keep the DVD player.  The second screen does not see the CD/DVD.

    What I am doing wrong?  Seems if OSX saw the disc, it would be the merge.  It's a serious iso on a DVD of MSDN Windows 7 x 64.

    Going along for an hour trying to understand this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    She was told that I need to run vmware, rather than worrying with bootcamp or parallels.

    Thank you!

    HM, test this point, I expected it to work, but in my results, I was not able to make reognized on my MacBook Air.

    I tested and then on one of our test machines (which is a bit outdated, running 10.6.5 and missing the update of the firmware to 2.0 EFI) and it worked.

    We have improved this test to 10.6.6 machine and it no longer works.

    So it seems that Apple has changed something, and who broke our EasyInstall to physical DVD drive detection.

    Therefore, you can create a disk image using disk utility and install using that for now until we work with Apple in order to understand who has bug is.

    Here's our KB for how to do this:

  • CS3 problem install on Macbook Air

    I am tring to install my copy of CS3 on a new Macbook Air with OS X 10.8.2

    I get this error message shortly after the start-up of the plant.

    "The installer has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe customer service.

    I tried to install from the DVD via Air disc. I copied the DVD on a memory stick and tried to install that too much. Same mistake twice.

    I called Adobe support and they said that they could not offer advice that the software was too old. The guy did recommend trying to install under a new user account. Same error again.

    I don't want to have to buy a new version that I don't really need. Someone at - it ideas or advice.

    Thanks in advance,

    Stop copying from one computer to the other installation files.  The problems that you are experiencing currently is mainly caused by the use of the Migration Wizard you displayed in the #3 message.

    I recommend that you try the following steps:

    1. Run the uninstall programs that can be viewed in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers.
    2. Run the CS cleaner tool to check the required files have been deleted - for installation problems CS cleanup tool | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
    3. Relocation of the installation files copied to a USB stick using a computer that has an optical drive.

    If you continue to experience difficulties, then the faster would be to format, run the Migration Wizard only to documents and settings and then reinstall it from the USB.  I've seen users spending hours and days trying to recover from the use of the Migration Assistant or some type of solution to transfer from one computer to the other.  Our function of claim better if they are installed correctly the installer.

  • Currently, I run the design and the Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How will I know if I can install my programs on the new Adobe computer? Because I know that there is some sort of limit.

    Currently, I run the design and the Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How will I know if I can install my programs on the new Adobe computer? Because I know that there is some sort of limit.

    Also, I had to install the software twice on my computer before because I had to restart the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

    You are allowed to have two facilities activated, so it shouldn't be a problem with facilities to work on both machines.  If by chance you somehow tied up two activations for a machine you can have Adobe support help solve this cat thrue.

    Each time, click on "Firefox - preferences", I get only a partial view of the options that are displayed normally on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks). If I click on a different subtopic, preferences to close and reopen the preferences, I get a more complete screen on THIS subject, but never have I could see "saved passwords" or "Change Master password" on the MacBook Air.
