I’m running Mavericks on a Black MacBook 4,1. I used OS X Patcher from RMC-Team, it’s pretty flawless and easy. You need a Mac App Store download of Mavericks and 8GB/16GB USB dongle, hopefully you downloaded it in the past.

Hello,
thank you for your reply. Unfortunately no.
I picked up an old family MacBook and it was never updated through the appstore. What could we do?

Hello,
thank you for your reply.

You’re most welcome. The things I’d advise doing is setting the computer to never go to sleep in System Preferences and disable Mission Control/Spaces in Terminal. Sleep and Exposé are the only 2 things that has caused issues for me. Other than that it’s as fast, if not faster than Lion, with much better compatibility.
