[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1632942, member: 175845"] To save you all the trouble of "re-installing" some old OS X, Mavericks with all its updates should run fine on that Mac — providing that the HDD isn't failing or has some bad sectors. I'd suggest booting up in Safe Boot Mode, run Disk Utility to Repair and Verify your boot disk. Then head off and download the [B]OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update (Combo)[/B] and install it, and then run Disk Utility again. You'll find the COMBO at: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1760]OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 Update (Combo)[/url] Then reboot and run any Software Update suggestions until no more are shown as available. Avoiding any Apple suggestion to install Yosemite!! ;) [/QUOTE]
