I have an old mac(5 years old), by now my safari is completely outdated and most websites tell me they no longer support my browser. I tried going to the software updates, but it just tells me that I'm up to date. How can I update my browser? I figured it had something to do with my operating system.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), -
Only thing that I would recommend in this case is downloading another browser such as Chrome or Firefox as they support 10.6.8 and seeing if that works.
The new safari versions are not supported on older OS X versions (such as Snow leopard). You have 2 options :
-use an alternative browser whose updates are compatible with your version of OS X (such as Chrome or Firefox)
-Update (free of charge) your Mac to the latest OS X version (10.10 - Yosemite) from the App Store.
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.
