I want to upgrade as high as I can to squeeze a couple more years use out of the old machine. I know how to upgrade the OS but I need to know where to find the software. Apple don't seem to want to sell it to me.

Any ideas?

Please don't tell me to buy a Windows machine or such amusing jokes. I probably will buy a cheap ChromeBook for my next laptop. I just want to get a few more years out of this Macintosh I have now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8592729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8592729.page GMT Re:Does anyone know how to upgrade an old MacBook from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X 10.9? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8592739.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8592739.page GMT Re:Does anyone know how to upgrade an old MacBook from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X 10.9?

just do what I did and put install Ubuntu to replace Mac OS.


Done in one!


I'm not into OSX, but when you say you need 10.9, can you use Mavericks - 10.9.5?


If so I think you can buy a flash drive with it on it from here or on ebay.

Thanks also to Inquisitor Lord Bane for his idea about Ubuntu. That can be my plan B.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8592844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8592844.page GMT Does anyone know how to upgrade an old MacBook from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X 10.9? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8595150.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8595150.page GMT Re:Does anyone know how to upgrade an old MacBook from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X 10.9?
My MacBook is incompatible, apparently, despite being a late 2008 model. That's three counts against Apple Tech Support, they are obviously useless now. On the plus side, this means I can go down the Linux route.

I have used the stick to upgrade my desktop Mac and that went OK although now there is a bit of a nightmare to get iPhoto and iMusic working again. I'm going to have the same problems with my MacBook, in order to export all my photos and music for Linux.

Macs used to be so great for this kind of stuff and they've become such a fething nightmare now! Sign in to App Store to do anything or use half your software. Back up mysteriously with Time Machine.

I don't think I'm going to buy any more Macs. The sad end of a fruitful business and personal partnership going back over 30 years. I started with System 6.

Seriously though my brother deals with Macs quite a bit so I'll drop him a line and have him look at the issue.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8610232.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8610232.page GMT Does anyone know how to upgrade an old MacBook from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X 10.9?
For instance, we run 10.9.5 on a 2010 Core Duo.

I am a Mac fanboy but have been grinding my teeth re upgrading the three Macs in our household. There are more incompatibilities between machines and OS than is good for my mental health. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8610244.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8610244.page GMT Does anyone know how to upgrade an old MacBook from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X 10.9? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8611076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687718/8611076.page GMT Does anyone know how to upgrade an old MacBook from OS X 10.7.5 to OS X 10.9?
Looks to me like 10.7.5 is the latest compatible version.
