Am running operating system 10.6.8 on a MacBook. What would be the latest version of Safari I can use? Currently using Safari version 5.1.10. Thanks
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Without upgrading the OS, the version you have installed on it.
If you upgrade the OS, it depends on what MacBook model you have. Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
If you upgrade, back up your data and check your applications for compatibility first. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

Thanks for your response. Checked my system and it does have Core 2 Duo and 4 GB RAM. Does that mean I can upgrade my system to Lion 10.7? Also, don't know how to check and see how much space I have available? Thanks
1. Yes.
2. The available RAM doesn't matter when upgrading; only the amount installed does. To check the amount of free disk space, choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, select the internal drive, and then Get Info from the File menu.

It indicates 106.07 GB available with 13.62 GB used?
You have enough free space to upgrade.

Neil, just recently had the chance to upgrade to Lion 10.7 then performed an update to 10.7.1 as you suggested. Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you very much for your help. Everything went smoothly with the ordering, downloading and install. All seems to be running okay so far, even Safari. Assuming this would be the furthest I can upgrade to with this MacBook? Will look for your name in the future when seeking an answer to a related issue. Thanks again for your help.
