MacBook with OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10

I have a MacBook with OSX 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.1. My software is up to date, but I receive messages from several sites that my Safari is no longer supported, and I am starting to have problems with my Gmail. Any suggestions?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Safari 5.1.10

You need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch to a product such as Firefox.

To upgrade, 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.


Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
