updated 2009 macbook to el capitan

I have a 2009 macbook which I've already updated from its original operating system for OS X 10.6.8. Now, I need to upgrade the laptop to el capitan. Is it still possible? The material of the laptop is able to do this?

No doubt; Some models sold before January 20, 2009 won't be able to run it. To tell for certain, choose about this Mac from the Apple menu, click more info and see if the model identifier is at least MacBook5, 1.

    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.

    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.

  • Should I update my MacBook 2010?

    In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet specifications. Upgrades and updates contain important security as well as additional functionality enhancements.

    Although Apple has 2 GB of RAM 4-6 GB is really a minimum. Your using be expandable to 16 GB. You can check that the CrucialAdvisory tool, or OWC. After adding RAM, I'd update to El Capitan.

  • Can I put a 2009 MacBook Pro? TO

    Can I pass a 2009 MacBook Pro safely to El captain?

    You can upgrade to El Capitan, but make sure first that you have a backup so that you can restore your system, if you find El Capitan too troublesome.

    Most of the problems with the El Capitan upgrades have to do with incompatible software. Get rid of any Mac cleaners, boosters, antivirus software and so on. Check all your applications and delete that you rarely use.

    You can find el Capitan is slow compared to your current configuration. You could improve performance El Cap by upgrade your hard drive to a disc solid state drive (SSD). You can now find a very reasonable price.

    You have the original installation media supplied with your machine? This would be a way: use the DVD to boot from, format the new hard drive and then reinstall the operating system. You can then update/upgrade to 10.11.

    Other than that, your model was not eligible to have its firmware updated to allow for the recovery of the internet which is the only other way I know - at least the only other way besides a bootable clone, you did before your defective hard disks.

    Do not think to partition/format your new drive first.

  • Please, need help printer. Nothing to do with Security Update 2009-001.

    I need help, and looking for the forums just makes me worse headache. I need to use passthrough printing, but the Mac printer does not in the comments.

    Details: OS X 10.5.6 Fusion 2.0.2. Guest is Windows 2000 SP4. Security Update 2009 - 001 has not been applied.

    The printer is a HP PhotoSmart C4480 printer attached to the Mac via USB.

    In order to avoid the obvious questions:

    Passthrough fusion printer is active. Become disabled as some users report. The Serial Port is present and connected. In OS X printer sharing is enabled in the world and for this printer (but my impression is that it should not be).

    I confirmed that the printer works from OS X. And he is listed in the merger USB menu.

    The process of Thinprint TPAutoConn * are underway on the guest. COM1 and COM2 are both present.

    The user can not use the old printer sharing solution because there is no Windows 2000 for this printer drivers. The VM is totally dependent on the system of Thinprint, and I never put in place before. Have never seen a working configuration. Don't know about its configuration beyond what is in the VMX file and upgrade manual.

    There are merger Console messages that say "no printer configured or unavailable." I think it's the key to the problem... but I don't know what to do about this.

    Help...

    Pat Lee says:

    We have designed this feature to Windows XP and later versions. So it will not work on Windows 2000.

    Hmmm. Woody didn't say exactly if the printer actually prints

    Well I wouldn't went all the trouble to clean the building a Machine virtual Windows 2000 Pro SP4 with VMware Tools installed and printers enabled for the Virtual Machine settings and took all the dialog boxes and to make a film of the if I did had not bother to actually check and see if she would print!

    Find attached an image of a Windows 2000 printer print Test and note the relevant information.

    Computer name: W2KVM

    Name of the printer: HP LaserJet 4050 on MacBook Pro

    Printer model: TP output gateway PS

    Support: Yes

    Port name (s): THIRD:

    Note: because the printer is a B & W LaserJet I guess that the "support: Yes", it's that the "printer model: TP output gateway PS ' supports color and will therefore work with color printers as well.
