Hi there,
My laptop crashed and my husband managed to put my original operating system on which is OS X 10.9.5
I lost everything and my battery doesn't work any longer.
I'm now trying to upgrade the operating system however I can't seem to find any available option for an upgrade. What should I do? Please help
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
What model MacBook Pro do you have?
What OSX version did you have before?
Does your Mac support Sierra? If so update vai the Mac App Store
Hi there, thank you for your reply. I have OS X version 10.9.5 MAcBook pro 15 inch late 2008
I don't think I had another version when I got it and also probably had it before the crash but I don't remember.
I've checked my updates and I don't have any updates available :-(
Sierra is an upgrade, not an update.
Sierra should be listed under the Featured section of the Mac App Store
Thanks, I tried and get this message We could not complete your purchase. This version of macOS 10.12 cannot be installed on this computer. :-(
your Mac; MAcBook pro 15 inch late 2008, is not supported for Sierra.
The link in my previous reply listed:
MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
SInce neither Yosemite or El Capitan are no longer available from the Mac App Store and you have not previously downloaded them, if you go to an Apple store they may be able to download EL Capitan for you since that is the last version your Mac will run.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
You can download El Capitan using the link below.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.
Applications Compatibility (2)
El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information
Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
One place you can get a replacement battery.
Thank you, I managed to download and install El Capitan. Thank you
You are welcome.
