[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1625847, member: 56379"] Need to know exactly what MacBook model you have…to determine what the max. OS version it can run is. I know that you want/need to upgrade your MacBook's OS to "get some apps to work" (like you mentioned in post #1). But like "toMACsh" mentioned…if you upgrade the OS too far…then apps that you currently have may not work (or not work without being updated themselves). So it really comes down to at least three things that need to be considered when upgrading a computer's OS: 1. What apps do you currently have…and will they be made incompatible (won't run) if upgraded to a newer OS version. 2. What OS version do the "new" apps you want to run require. 3. What exact model is the computer…so we know just how far the OS can be upgraded (what's the newest OS version it can run)…IF…installed/upgrading to the newest OS version is desired. - Nick [/QUOTE]
