How do I delete items from my startup disk to be able to d/l maverick?

I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

Processor: 1.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Memory: 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3


I am unable to upgrade to Maverick because I need to clean up my startup disk apparently. How do I do this?

Can my old laptop even handle the Maverick?

Should I increase my memory - is that expensive?

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Mavericks requirements > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements


Requires 2GB's or more of memory so you may want to upgrade the RAM (memory).


Mavericks also requires 8GB's of free disk space.



To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:

  • iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
  • MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
  • MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
  • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
  • Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
  • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
  • Xserve (Early 2009)


Your Mac also needs:

  • OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
  • 2 GB or more of memory
  • 8 GB or more of available space\



You can free up disk space by transferring photos, video, documents, etc., to an external drive or burn to CD's or DVD's.
