[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1632761"] Five years ago would be 2009 or 2010, so there's no reason why that machine shouldn't be able to run Mavericks or Yosemite well, provided your hard drives isn't full or you have a tiny amount of RAM. I'm not even sure how you GOT Mavericks, as Apple is no longer providing it. It's Yosemite or nothing from the Mac App Store, which makes me think you may have obtained a corrupted copy.
