I have an old, not for me actually, MacBook Pro which I purchased at the end of 2010. I was expecting Apple won't drop the support of Mojave for MacBook Pro 2010 model, at least not for this time. But I was wrong. The latest Majove doesn't support it too. There is no need to worry. Even the oldest Windows 95 can be installed on Mac computer.

We design Mac hardware and software with advanced technologies that work together to run apps more securely, protect your data, and help keep you safe on the web. And with macOS Big Sur available as a free upgrade, it's easy to get the most secure version of macOS for your Mac.*

Apple M1 chip.
A shared architecture for security.

The Apple M1 chip with built-in Secure Enclave brings the same powerful security capabilities of iPhone to Mac — protecting your login password, automatically encrypting your data, and powering file-level encryption so you stay safe. And the Apple M1 chip keeps macOS secure while it's running, just as iOS has protected iPhone for years.

Apple helps you keep your Mac secure with software updates.

The best way to keep your Mac secure is to run the latest software. When new updates are available, macOS sends you a notification — or you can opt in to have updates installed automatically when your Mac is not in use. macOS checks for new updates every day and starts applying them in the background, so it's easier and faster than ever to always have the latest and safest version.

Protection starts at the core.

The technically sophisticated runtime protections in macOS work at the very core of your Mac to keep your system safe from malware. This starts with state-of-the-art antivirus software built in to block and remove malware. Technologies like XD (execute disable), ASLR (address space layout randomization), and SIP (system integrity protection) make it difficult for malware to do harm, and they ensure that processes with root permission cannot change critical system files.

Download apps safely from the Mac App Store. And the internet.

Now apps from both the App Store and the internet can be installed worry-free. App Review makes sure each app in the App Store is reviewed before it's accepted. Gatekeeper on your Mac ensures that all apps from the internet have already been checked by Apple for known malicious code — before you run them the first time. If there's ever a problem with an app, Apple can quickly stop new installations and even block the app from launching again.

Stay in control of what data apps can access.

Apps need your permission to access files in your Documents, Downloads, and Desktop folders as well as in iCloud Drive and external volumes. And you'll be prompted before any app can access the camera or mic, capture keyboard activity, or take a photo or video of your screen.

FileVault 2 encrypts your data.

With FileVault 2, your data is safe and secure — even if your Mac falls into the wrong hands. FileVault 2 encrypts the entire drive on your Mac, protecting your data with XTS-AES 128 encryption. Mac computers built on the Apple M1 chip take data protection even further by using dedicated hardware to protect your login password and enabling file-level encryption, which developers can take advantage of — just as on iPhone.

Designed to protect your privacy.

Online privacy isn't just something you should hope for — it's something you should expect. That's why Safari comes with powerful privacy protection technology built in, including Intelligent Tracking Prevention that identifies trackers and helps prevent them from profiling or following you across the web. A new weekly Privacy Report on your start page shows how Safari protects you as you browse over time. Or click the Privacy Report button in your Safari toolbar for an instant snapshot of the cross-site trackers Safari is actively preventing on that web page.

Automatic protections from intruders.

Safari uses iCloud Keychain to securely store your passwords across all your devices. If it ever detects a security concern, Password Monitoring will alert you. Safari also prevents suspicious websites from loading and warns you if they're detected. Ssh for mac free download 2016. And because it runs web pages in separate processes, any harmful code is confined to a single browser tab and can't crash the whole browser or access your data.

Find your missing Mac with Find My.

The Find My app can help you locate a missing Mac — even if it's offline or sleeping — by sending out Bluetooth signals that can be detected by nearby Apple devices. These devices then relay the detected location of your Mac to iCloud so you can locate it. It's all anonymous and encrypted end-to-end so no one — including Apple — knows the identity of any reporting device or the location of your Mac. And it all happens silently using tiny bits of data that piggyback on existing network traffic. So there's no need to worry about your battery life, your data usage, or your privacy being compromised.

Keep your Mac safe.
Even if it's in the wrong hands.

All Mac systems built on the Apple M1 chip or with the Apple T2 Security Chip support Activation Lock, just like your iPhone or iPad. So if your Mac is ever misplaced or lost, the only person who can erase and reactivate it is you.

Apple releases major Mac operating system updates annually while minor system updates happen every two or three months.

It could be really annoying when you are urgent to run your Mac, be it an iMac or a MacBook. This post will provide you with three steps when your Mac doesn't boot up, let's keep on reading.

Let's go straight to the point, you are suggested to troubleshoot this issue by the following steps:

  1. Check if the Mac hard drive is corrupted
  2. Check if any program is not compatible with your macOS
  3. Check for a hardware incompatibility

Now you can take a look at each of the steps.

Step 1: Boot into macOS Recovery mode to check the Mac hard drive

If your Mac has problems in booting up after the macOS update, it's possible your Mac computer ran out of power, and the APFS reformatting process was interrupted, or, the startup disk was corrupted. To rescue it, you are advised to check and repair the disk with Apple's built-in disk repair tool, Disk Utility, under macOS recovery mode. Grab your attention to see how it works.

  1. Hold Command + R and start your Mac into macOS Recovery mode.
  2. Select Disk Utility from the macOS ‘Utilities' window and click Continue.
  3. Click on View and choose Show All Devices to list all detected disks and volumes.
  4. Select the drive or volume that you want to repair in the left sidebar, here it should be Macintosh HD.
  5. Click First Aid on the top menu of Disk Utility.
  6. Click Run to check and repair errors in this drive. Wait for the process.

If Disk Utility reports operation successful or it has been repaired, you're free to restart your computer. Nevertheless, another situation is no disk error is found by Disk Utility. It turns out the hard drive is not responsible for Mac not booting up, then what is the reason behind Mac not turning on? You can find the answer under Safe mode.

Step 2: Boot your Mac into Safe Mode

Safe mode is able to determine whether an issue is caused by software that loads when your Mac starts up since it will only launch some basic necessary programs. That means it can isolate incompatibility software that makes your Mac unbootable. Really helpful, right? Here's what you should do:

  1. Press and hold the power button until the Mac forcibly shuts down.
  2. Restart this Mac with the Shift key pressed and held to start the Mac up in Safe Mode.
  3. Release the key when you see the progress bar.

Once you boot into Safe Mode successfully, you'll see Safe Boot at the right top. And it indicates that the unbootable Mac is caused by third-party software incompatibility. You must be wondering who's the culprit, don't worry, Verbose mode can help you out.

You need to reboot the Mac, then hold Command + V at startup. What catches your eye is a live report but it will stop at the misbehaving software that prevents the Mac from booting up. Now you have caught the culprit and all you need to do is uninstalling it in Safe Mode.

Unfortunately, if you fail to boot into Safe Mode, it means it's a macOS update failure. You need to reinstall the macOS in Recovery mode and reinstallation can place your data in danger. Therefore, before making any movement, you are strongly advised to restore your data with iBoysoft Data Recovery for Mac from an unbootable Mac first.

Step 3: Go to Apple store for help

You are here because your hard drive is safe and sound, and there's no software incompatibility found in Verbose Mode. What else you can do to get rid of the trouble? Go check the hardware inside your Mac. Don't be nervous, you are not required to do it yourself. Apple has many bricks and mortar stores and you can easily get help there.
