Safari won’t let me. I can get on google and search. But. I thing opens up. I just get a ‘safari can’t open page’ ?
What’s going on?
If you have $1500 why are bothering trying to 'fix' your 13 year old laptop?
Just get an M1 Air and enjoy it. Your 2011 is past its best and whilst you may miss it, it'll be night and day difference between the machines.
I upgraded in 2020 from my 2011 MBP to an M1 MBA and its the best laptop I've had.

Not got $1500 spare. And I know despite this headache when I have got around it the MacBook will be sweet.
What about using Firefox to download the other Firefox?
Know anyone that can let you download the Sierra installer onto a flash drive then you can install it on your puter.
Well I decided to buy a new MacBook now.
Well a 2012 15 inch unibody. Seems solid enough. £130. Not bad.
Once I have that running and I have time for the sake of just having a machine that can be a sort of travel machine I’ll get the old 2011 13 inch booted up with High Sierra
For installing High Sierra from scratch, I downloaded the High Sierra installer file from macinstallers.tech on another Mac and used that to create a bootable USB installer (Tip: The file downloaded from macinstallers is titled "HighSierra" - make sure you rename it to "Install macOS High Sierra" first), which I then used to do a clean install of 10.13 on the two 2010 MacBook Airs I've recently gotten. This was on Macs where the even Internet Recovery didn't work (either due to Apple's ignorance or because the drive itself was entirely wiped).
Also, the reason why you'd want to fix your 13 year old laptop is because, with the right software and a little more patience for slower system hardware, you can still have an incredibly capable machine that can easily do light productivity and web tasks, or even make for a decent daily driver.

I hope his Safari in Lion would be able to download from macinstallers then maybe he would just have to install and update. Nice site, I could never find the support page Apple had with all the installers again.
The High Sierra installer requires 10.8, so he'll have to download and install 10.8 first.
Thankfully I just read the part where he apparently has a working Lion install on his machine, which makes things a lot easier. If he's willing, he could even just stick with 10.7.5 and install browsers like Pale Moon, Chromium Legacy, BrassMonkey/SeaLion and/or ArcticFox, alongside wowfunhappy's https fix.

I was just reading though this thread and thought you should get a15" 2012 which you did! It is much faster because of the quad core i7 vs the dual core i5 in the 13". There is a 13" from 2012 with a dual core i7 which is pretty fast but it is a rare machine and difficult to find used.
