    Which computer model do you have? Does it meet Yosemite requirements?

    Before you install Yosemite, make sure you have one of these Macs:

    • iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
    • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    • Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    • Xserve (Early 2009)

    Your Mac also needs:

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

     

    Some features of OS X Yosemite require an Apple ID or iCloud account and a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply. Continuity features such as Handoff and Instant Hotspot require a compatible iOS device with iOS 8 and a compatible Mac.

    You can also back up your Mac using Time Machine before you install.
