    Require simple help with MacPostFactor installing Mav's on Late 2007 MacBook

    Few days ago I successfully installed Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on a late 2007 MacBook. Thought it would solve my issues with my phone no longer syncing in iTunes. Turns out iOS 10 requires iTunes 12.5 and up, which is supported only on Yosemite and later OS's, so I'm going up to that. Now I'm...

    Using Mountain Lion Beyond Its Expiration Date

    I'm using a 2006 MacBook Pro C2D. It has a 17 inch monitor which in my opinion is amazing. Given I have a PowerBook G4, a 2009 MacBook, and a 2009 iMac, this is actually my first and only MacBook Pro. I tried TRMJIJ's upgrade to Yosemite (Mainly cause I had success with it back when I had an 08...
