| 1364206 | 2014-01-03 15:10:00 | Like it says in the link WT gave you, you need Snow Leopard, or 10.6.8 then update it to Lion | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1364207 | 2014-01-03 17:54:00 | If you can get at least snow leopard (10.6.8) on the iMac then you can upgrade to the latest OS X mavericks (10.9) for free. | CYaBro (73) | ||
