Mac mini hardware does not allow for newest Mac OS?
Hi, I have just recently bought a used mac mini model # M9686LL/B. This is my first mac. Since the mini is pretty old I am not sure whether or not I can upgrade the operating system. To do this you check for software updates right? While installing some applications at my friends house I tried installing the newest operating system off of the disk that came with his new macbook. The upgrade said that it did not sense an older mac OS and it wouldn't upgrade. I also tried the disk that was not the upgrade (the real deal). This would not work either. Is there some built in hardware that will not allow for the newer operating system? Is there any way I can get the newest operating system? I wouldn't care all that much but I bought this mac for iPhone app developing, and I can't download the SDK without the newest operating system.
