Hi, I have an old iMac mid 2007 running Leopard 10.5.8 and I upgraded the RAM to 4GB from 1GB.
Nov 17, 2018 8:00 PM in response to ndj. In response to ndj. If you have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, you can't update the OS. To update, you need a MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or later) Model 6.2 and higher. If you are careful about what you download and where you search on the Internet, your computer is useable without the latest security updates.
I tried to install a new copy (clean install from USB booting) but can't do that.
If your Mac isn't compatible with the latest macOS, you might still be able to upgrade to an earlier macOS, such as macOS Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, or El Capitan. To get the latest features and maintain the security, stability, compatibility, and performance of your Mac, it's important to keep your software up to date. It's finally here: OS X El Capitan on an unsupported mac. If this video hits 50 likes I will work on a tutorial, so make sure you share this video with your.
I've done the following steps:
- I created an USB bootable El Capitan installer
- I booted from USB
- I erased all the HDD content and I created a new partition
- tried to Install but I got this error: 'OS X could not be installed on your computer. No packages were eligible for install.'
I don't know what can I do at this point.
Thank you for all your help!

Question :
I read somewhere that it is possible to install the latest version of OSX 10.10 Yosemite on my Mac, even though the official installer refuses to install.
Can you give me any directions ?
Answer :
Installing newer versions of OSX on slightly older Macs that do not meet the official system requirements can be done using MacPostFactor (MCPF).
MacPostFactor also supports installing OSX versions up to OSX 10.10 Yosemite on older Macs. And a new version that supports installing OSX 10.11 El_Capitan is in the works.
For more info (and downloads), go to the info page on MacRumors.com :
or see the (less readable) official page of the MacPostFactor team :
…in short :
!!! THIS IS FOR (RATHER) EXPERIENCED MAC-USERS ONLY, AND SHOULD NOT BE DONE ON YOUR ‘ONE AND ONLY’ MAC !!!
!! REMEMBER : DO FOLLOW THE COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAN BE FOUND HERE : MacPost Factor info page on MacRumors.com
…that should be it !
