imac 2009 not connecting to safai

Hi,

A 2009 iMac, depending on the exact model, could run OS X 10.11 El Capitan or macOS 10.13 High Sierra maximum.

If there is a problem connecting to a web site via Safari, you could possibly try another browser (such as Firefox). Please note, though, that most web browsers today do not support the aforementioned operating systems. An old browser version may still work, but without the latest security.

For example, Firefox has extended support for macOS 10.13 High Sierra until September 2024.

What version of Mac OS X / macOS are you running?

If it is anything earlier than El Capitan, the browsers running on it might not know how to speak a security protocol that modern https sites will accept.

Hello! This could be because your iMac is a much older generation iMac, so it may not have the software available to run Safari.

Also, please remember a 2009 is considered an antique by technology standards at 15 years old. Please seriously consider upgrading to a new Mac so you don't continue to run into compatibility issues caused by advanced computer age.

If a new Mac is not in the cards for you Apple has a refurbished Mac section in many countries. You can find the Refurbished store at the bottom of Apple landing page, for example at the bottom of www.apple.com.
