Maybe it was partly due to that as well.' вЂ¦. (Also I heard that it was an issue with most Macbook Pro models from 2011. Thankfully Apple decided to do a free replacement. 'While I was on Os X 10.7.5, my logic board got burned out due to too much heavy processing. and OS 10.11 i'm a bit wary ofвЂ¦ i remember reading it had all kinds of problems with audio applications (but that was a little while ago)вЂ¦ the one obvious perk to any OS beyond 10.9.5 is that it can run Logic X (which i dont own, but can get it for a nice discount - a perk of a new jobДЄ fellow gearslutz user says (with a similar Macbook Pro model) (though perhaps those issues have been ironed out)вЂ¦ a few people got very excited when OS 10.9 was introduced as it's meant to be a lot faster to operate than 10.8 (this sounds promising!)вЂ¦. so it sounds like i want to avoid 10.10вЂ¦.

I'm happy with the performance and stability of my set-upвЂ¦. In the past, I've sometimes found updating the OS on a machine that isn't the most recent model can be detrimental to performance - the machine feels sluggish on the new OS. So between OS 10.8-10.11, can anyone recommend a particular release? Or advice to avoid a particular release?ДЄgain stability and performance are most important to meвЂ¦ (I intend to use this laptop for a live-set)

I use it to produce and mix and record (Ableton)вЂ¦ my soundcard is a MOTU Ultralite Mk3ДЇor the plug-ins to work, I need to update to at least OS 10.8 If it's of any relevance, the model I've got is an early 2011 Macbook Pro 8,2 quadcore 'Core i7' 2.2 15'. which is making me a little nervous (because I never update unless it's necessary - which means I'm now running OS 10.6.8 - which has been very reliable for me, hence why i've never updated) recently i've fallen in love with a few plug-ins and they're going to require me to update the OS to at least 10.8 вЂ¦.

I'm trying to install a free utility (Caffeine) and I get the same problem: the spinning cursor, but no actual progress.It has been years since I've updated the OS on my Macbook. The problem seems to be with the App Store. So - without access to the purchase record of the machine, but with admin privileges, how can I see what is going on? Ideally, how can I upgrade this machine to Yosemite? I've looked at this answer but I find that the CRL is already set to 'off'. Forcing destination format to ARGB_8 for CG_Context'. I've found the Console Messages, but the only thing I see there is 'This isn't a bitmap context. I do have admin privileges on the machine. An internet search told me to check the 'Purchases' tab on the App Store, but for that I need my boss's password. The next day, after more than 20 hours, I still saw the spinning cursor. I thought that maybe it was just a huge download, so I left it on for the night. When I try the update to Yosemite, though, I get the spinning cursor and it stays that way.

I first did the 'Software Updates' which was ready in a few minutes. The 'About this Mac' gives me the following information:

I have an old Mac, currently running Mac OS X 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard' that I must upgrade to OS X 10.10 'Yosemite'.
