I have heard that upgrading the software too much further can cause problems.
I agree completely with Allan's remarks, and they certainly trump my comment.
But I saw this, and, assuming your Mac is even capable of upgrade, I can tell you that not upgrading software can cause even more problems ... such as you're seeing now, or, more significantly, security issues.

With some identification, one may be able to place your build model spec
across the production years of the original MacBook, 2006 to 2010; where
hardware change and as-shipped system software also affects upgrades.
Good luck & happy computing!

Aug 17, 2015 7:26 PMby brycca39,Thank you! I am not extremely familiar with Mac's and didn't realized I had not provided all the information!
After searching the serial # I came up with
~VIN,MACBOOK (13-INCH EARLY 2008)
Is that coupled with the other information I have provided enough to base a suggestion on?

I believe that means it cannot upgrade to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) either.
