They are built in Xcode with web technologies, such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript and powerful native APIs. Regardless, Snow Leopard is your first stop before you go any further, because Leopard is definitely past its prime at this point.Safari extensions are a powerful way to add new features to Safari. (If you're not sure how much RAM your Mac has, go to the menu and click on "About this Mac," it should tell you there.) Secondly, Yosemite does introduce a lot of visual changes to the Mac operating system that you may not like. First of all, you'll need at least 2 GB RAM, and I'd really recommend having 4 GB or more installed. You should be able to apply it without any really jarring complications that will take out of what you're used to.īumping your Mac up to Snow Leopard and applying any software updates will provide you with access to the Mac App Store, and you can further upgrade your Mac from there, if you choose.Ĭan your Mac run Yosemite? Yes, it can - though there's a few caveats. The good news is that Snow Leopard is similar enough in look and feel to Leopard to be a very unobtrusive update for you. Getting Snow Leopard on your Mac, with the requisite security and app updates offered, may get you to the point where you're not seeing unsupported browser messages anymore you can also download Firefox or Google Chrome at that point both of those web browsers continue to support Snow Leopard as well.

After all, you need the Mac App Store to do that, and you don't have the Mac App Store on your Mac, because that wasn't introduced until Snow Leopard came out later that year. The bad news is that you can't just arbitrarily jump to Yosemite. You didn't tell me how your MacBook Pro was configured, but if it's a 13-inch model, and assuming you fall into the "if it ain't broke" camp, I'm guessing that your 2009-era MacBook Pro came with OS X 10.5 "Leopard," which is an elderly operating system by Apple standards.
And as the old adage goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But the fact is that many of us, like you, use our Macs with the software they came with, because that's what we're accustomed to and that's what we like to use. Some people reading this may be surprised to learn that you're not already running OS X Yosemite, after all, it should work just fine on a 2009-era Mac. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do under those circumstances except get your Mac working with more modern software. That error message is legitimate: Some web sites will block you from their content if they judge you to be a security risk or if the browser you're working with is too old to support the technology they are dependent on.
