I have a MacBook 13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008 running Snow Leopard v10.6.8. The App Store said: "OS X Mavericks cannot be installed on this computer." Why I can't upgrade to Mavericks? Please let me know asap thank you!
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
The hardware requirements for Mavericks are give in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842
all the system requirements is compatibility. I still can't upgrade?
Do you have enough memory and hard drive free space available?
What year is
| Model Identifier: | MacBook4,1 |
does this model caompatibility to upgrade Mavericks?
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook (13-inch, Late 2008) is different?
That is different...you must have a MacBook5,1 or later to install Mavericks, the MacBook4,1 cannot use Mavericks. The system is not a full 64-bit firmware system.
Thanks that's why it doesn't work .
That is a difficult spec period as Apple made a couple different MacBook models designated the same time period but the hardware models are just different enough to not work...this comes up now and then with users and can be hard to sort out. You should be able to move up to Lion if you want, that is a $20 download you get by calling Apple at 1-800-MY-APPLE if you are in the US...they send a download code and instructions in an email after a few days. Lion will give access to iCloud if you want that access.
Can't upgrade to mavericks
