Hello, I need to update my iMac late 2009 to macOS High Sierra 10.13 in order for me to get the Lightroom Update I nedd to do post production on photos. I have 12GB of internal memory. Can I update or not? In the AppStore it will not find that Update as available.
Thank you.
iMac, OS X 10.11
Yes, click on the link. :)
Is it a Late 2009?

Thank you!!
Is that the actual link where I can get the update?
Because I don’t know where to find it. I spoke with Apple Customer Service yesterday and they said they were going to send me the link, but they never did :/
Hi!
i do have another question. When I open Photoshop now I get this error message:
”Photoshop gas encountered a problem with the display driver and has disabled enhancements which use the graphic hardware.....”
I haven’t updated to high Sierra yet.
Do you think it’s a question of updating software (Photoshop or OS) or do you think there might be an actual problem with the graphic driver?
Thank you 🙏🏼
I’m using the adobe creative cloud package and my whole upgrading issue started from this because Lightroom won’t update unless I install High Sierra. Photoshop CC v.19.0.1 and Lightroom CC.
Thank you.
I’m sorry....I don’t understand.
I have late 2009 iMac. I don’t have a newer Mac. I’m getting an error message when I open Photoshop CC and I don’t know if it’s because OS needs to be updated or because there might really be a problem with the graphic driver.
when I open Photoshop CS6, an older version I have, I don’t get that error message.
What do you think?
Thank you
Oh, I completely misunderstood. :(
Looks like they want a higher power Graphics card for the higher powered enhancements...

Yep, Don't use Firefox for that link usually it messes it up! :)
Open Safari and click on the link above.
You don't need to be told, just do it.
Thank you very much :)
You're welcome, please let us know the outcome my friend. :)
What version of Photoshop is it?
Mac version. I have the late 2009 iMac.
You'd want to clone the 2009 iMac's HDD, connect it to the newer Mac & try Migration Assistant to grab everything.
can I update my late 2009 iMac to High Sierra
