Re: macbook requirements to run osx 10.10?
From Apple's requirements: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201475 It sounds like OSX 10.10 Yosemite will run on a MacBook late 2008 or newer so if this is a 2011 model you should be good to go. Apples technical specs don't list a 2011 model but there is a 2010: https://support.apple.com/kb/SP584?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US which came with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM, so that seem to match your friend's laptop. The spec sheet also says 4GB is the limit on RAM. According to Other World Computing's memory upgrade page certain models can go up to 6GB RAM: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/ Only way to know for sure is to check the model identifier in About This Mac. On OSX 10.6 you would choose About This Mac under the Apple menu and in the resulting dialog you action the More Info… button. That takes you to a detailed list of everything about that machine. In the left nav it should default to picking "Hardware" and in the right pane there should be a "Hardware Overview". The second item on that list should be the Model Identifier. If my guess is correct, it should say "MacBook 7,1" If that is the case, this site says some folks have actually found it will use up to 8GB under OSX 10.6 and 16GB under OSX 10.7 or later with the latest EFI updates: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.4-white-13-polycarbonate-unibody-mid-2010-specs.html CB On 8/15/15 9:52 PM, Sunshine wrote: From what my friend can tell it looks like a 2011 macbook white polly carbon they are having trouble getting into the overview part of the about this mac if this helps it has a built in super drive how much memory can a macbook be fully upgraded to?

Re: macbook requirements to run osx 10.10?
Hi, I'm sceptical of it being a 2011 model. Everything I find on the Net says that it should be a Mid-2010 model. Info found here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/macbook-white-unibody-faq/macbook-white-unibody-how-to-upgrade-ram-memory-type.html says that it will actually support 16 GB of RAM even though Apple says only 4 GB. As mentioned, both by Tyler and in this article, you should always put the same size sticks in each slot. That is, 2X 2 GB sticks, 2X 4 GB sticks or 2X 8 GB sticks. I think that 2X 4 GB sticks would suffice for this model and make it handle Yosemite much better than it would as is. HTH. Later...

Re: macbook requirements to run osx 10.10?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 What you can easily do doesn't mean it's still doable. You need to insure the limit, because you'll be wasting your time if you stick in 2 4 gb sticks if it only supports 4 gb. Also you get faster speeds through duel channel, so 2 2 gb sticks would be best in that case. Best solution would probably be to call apple/take it to a store.

Re: macbook requirements to run osx 10.10?
Hi. Based on your description, your friend has the same MacBook I have but newer. They can definitely run Yosemite. From what I hear, 4 gigs is the max a white MacBook can go up to in terms of ram, though a friend of mine said that you could easily put in 2 4 gig ram sticks. I don't know how nice that would play with the Mac but you can give it a try.

Re: macbook requirements to run osx 10.10?
From what my friend can tell it looks like a 2011 macbook white polly carbon they are having trouble getting into the overview part of the about this mac if this helps it has a built in super drive how much memory can a macbook be fully upgraded to? Meanning 8 gigs is this the fullest amount a macbook can take? or can it go higher? On 8/15/2015 8:18 PM, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: What year is the Mac that they have?

Re: macbook requirements to run osx 10.10?
What year is the Mac that they have? Yosemite and El Capitan run on 2009 or new model Macs. Also, it wouldn't hurt to upgrade the ram. I have 4 GB of ram in this thing and it ran perfect with Yosemite. It may not be necessary but who knows how slow the Mac will run with only 2 GB of ram. HTH.
