As I mentioned before, your Mac is too outdated to update or upgrade. Even if your Mac meets macOS Sierra's 10.12 requirements below you would have to upgrade your Mac to v10.7 Lion first which requires purchasing a redemption code from Applethen install v10.7 Lion before you could upgrade to Sierra.


macOS Sierra requires one of the following Mac models and versions of OS X. It also requires at least 2GB of memory and 8.8GB of storage space.


  • iMac (Late 2009 or newer)
  • MacBook (Late 2009 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
  • MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
  • Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
  • Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)


  • OS X El Capitan v10.11
  • OS X Yosemite v10.10
  • OS X Mavericks v10.9
  • OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
  • OS X Lion v10.7

Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks/Yosemite/El Capitan.


To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.


iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher


If your computer meets the above requirement, use the link below to download El Capitan. You do not need to upgrade to Lion first.


El Capitan


Then check to see if your computer is compatible with Sierra. If so, go to the App Store, download, and install Sierra.


iMac (Late 2009 or later) Model 10.1 and higher


Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.


Application Compatibility


Applications Compatibility (2)


El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information


macOS Sierra 10.12: Compatible Apps


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.
