Hello,

I have a 2009 IMAC (I believe...) running version 10.6.8 Mac OS X. I have a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4GB of RAM.

I would like to upgrade to another version because I can no longer update Firefox or other programs.

Can someone tell me how I could do that? I admit I'm not very knowledgeable about computers... :-)

Thanks in advance,

Pierre

Configuration: Macintosh / Firefox 48.0

    Hello,

    If this Mac is from early to mid-2009, it can go up to El Capitan (macOS 10.11); if it is from late 2009, it can go up to High Sierra (macOS 10.13).

    It seems that the French Apple links are currently unavailable, but here are the links I was able to find just now:

    For El Capitan:

    For High Sierra:

    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?ls=1&mt=12

    In any case, I strongly recommend having at least 8 GB of memory installed before changing the OS. The type of memory and the procedure vary depending on the exact model:

      Thank you very much!
      I made the backup and downloaded El Capitan... I installed it but I have a bug and I'm stuck.

      It says OS X could not be installed, no package could be installed, contact the software publisher for help.
      Quit the installation program to restart your computer and then try again.

      I did that but without success...

      Can someone help me because I'm a bit in deep trouble right now...
