Q: cannot upgrade to yosemite even though my mac fits all requirements
Hello
I have an IMac from 2008, the current system is 10.6.8 and would like to updaye it. Now, this is my retired mothers computer which she barely uses. She has approx 186 GB available on it and however it runs SO SLOW! to be more specific everything runs slow...to open the internet, photos, word, whatever...the beachball ALWAYS pops up. So i assumed that it needs to be updated. Now about 6- 8 months ago I took it to the genius bar and he rearranged some things and it seemed to work better but its still slow. He also said that we didnt have to update the system. But I figure it cant hurt. But when I go to update it tells me that I need 2GB in order to update...but I have 186GB!!! So i dont know what to do!
I appreciate any insight!!!
Thanks in advance!
kind regards,
Geraldine

Which model iMac does your mother have?
CLICKY CLICK---> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1758 How to identify iMac models
How much RAM (memory) is installed on the iMac?
How large is your hard drive and how much storage space is left? Need the exact amt. Cannot use "approximate" amounts as you did.
The above info can be found in either the About This Mac section or in System Profile.
