Hello,
I currently have a MacBook Air with OSX 10.7.5
I would like to continue using Chrome but it is no longer supported. Is there anything I can do to upgrade other than buy a new computer?
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Here is the page from which Mountain Lion is sold (in the U.S.):
http://www.apple.com/shop/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
As stated there, in large print, under System Requirements:
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
So, of course, your MacBook is excluded.
My MacBook is from mid 2007? Does this mean I can't upgrade it? I just bought the Mountain Lion upgrade from the AppStore and after trying to redeem my code I got the message that the upgrade was incompatible.
yes, when I ordered it, I didn't yet know what year my macbook was from.... Afterwards (my bad) I searched online for how to determine the year and found out it's from 2007. Unfortunately when I bought this used laptop, I was under the mistaken impression that all macs are upgradable. Again... my bad... This is my first bad MAC experience. How unfortunate.
Thanks for your reply.
It's common in the Apple world, as well as other manufacturers' worlds, that once hardware becomes too old, it simply cannot support the latest software.
In the Apple world, this is true not only of Macs, but iPhones, iPads, iPods, and other devices as well (to name a few: Apple TVs, Time Capsules, AirPort Expresses).
Not if you have an original MacBook Air (from early 2008).
If you have a MacBook Air from late 2008 or later, you can upgrade your OS X.
I have OSX 10.7.5 and want to use Chrome which is no longer supported
