OS X 10.6.8 to OS X 10.9 update
Hi I am running OS X 10.6.8 and need to update my OS X to atleast 10.9... but its not finding any software updates automatically.
How can I do it?
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
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.
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.
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.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
macOS 10.12 (Sierra) requires one of the following Macs:
Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or later) Model 5.1 and higher
As well as:
Mac OS X version 10.7.5 or later
2GB of RAM (4GB minimum is more realistic)
9GB of free disk space
