Unable to establish secure connection

Safari on my iMac keeps giving me this error message for any secure web site. This is running Yosemite 10.10.5. Safari version 10.1.2. I can’t download any updates because safari doesn’t connect.

Earlier Mac models

Sorry am not able to rotate the image. When I go to software update it says “no updates available”. I want to update to the OS that’s the best one supported by this hardware but can’t get to first base because the safari browser cannot connect. Firefox and chrome don’t download citing the old OS version.


the iMac is otherwise in great shape so I don’t want to junk it.

I downloaded the 10.10.5 again.

Then went to the iTunes link to download ElCapitan. When I tried to run it, it said this version is corrupted and cannot be verified. Asked me to delete it and re-download it.


I am doing it. But in the meantime. The blurb says compatibility is OS X 10.6.8 or later. My current OS version is 10.5.5.


how do I upgrade this? This seems to be so old that nothing works. No browser downloads, many web sites don’t open. I am stuck.
