Hi,
I have a iMac (the late 2006 version) and I was wondering if it's possible to upgrade the software to OS Mavericks? If not, what's the newest OS I can upgrade to? It's currently running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
Thanks.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
1. No.
2. Mac OS X 10.7.5. Click here and order a download code for it; it doesn't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008. Back up your data before upgrading.

There is a way to upgrade to mavericks...
... but this way is a bit tricky... By myself i solved this problem today and my iMac Late 2006 is running Mavericks 10.9.2 quiet fluently!
You can upgrade it to Lion, but I would advise that you stay with Snow Leopard. It will function much better than Lion with your hardware. Furthermore, if you use any older PPC-only software it will still run under Snow Leopard, but it will not work in Lion.
Really...
Instead of just making a casual statement, why don't you just post the actual install procedure here, then.
Also, the 2006 models really do not have sufficient RAM specs to run Mavericks well.
So, I seriously question that your 2006 model iMac is running well on Mavericks.
2006 models could either take 2 or 3 GBs of RAM (you can install 4 GBs of RAM to take advantage of more efficient RAM processing of matched pairs of RAM, but the hardware will only recognize 3.2 to 3.4 GBs of that total RAM). This is barely the needed "real world" "working" minimum of RAM needed for Mavericks to run adaequately.
New iMacs ship with a much better 8 GBs of RAM.
What's the newest OS that iMac (late 2006) can upgrade to?
