[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1566225, member: 56379"] Yes...upgrading all the way from 10.6 to 10.9 in one shot is bound to create some incompatibilities. Unless you're a lot like me...and primarily use your computer for internet and e-mail. Upgrading past 10.6 is especially sensitive. Since if you use older "PowerPC" coded apps (that would have run great on older OS versions like 10.5, 10.4, etc.)...10.6 has a app. called "Rosetta" which allowed those "PowerPC" apps to run. But once someone upgrades to 10.7 an beyond...no more "Rosetta"...and thus no more "PowerPC" app. compatibility. - Nick [/QUOTE]
