    Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.


    To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.


    • iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
    • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
    • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
    • Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
    • Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher

     

    Your Mac needs:

    • OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
    • 2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
    • 8 GB or more of available space

     

    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
