Installing Yosemite on Macbook 3,1

[Ameow]

Hi guys,

Probably not posting in the right section but I'm now at my wits end. I've got 10.7.2 on this mac currently and I can't get my browsers to work correctly which is really annoying as I can't get online to study my degree. Regardless, I'm trying to upgrade my Mac to 10.10 so that I can download updated and working software.

I've created a SFOTT key and when I go to install it it says "To download and restore OS X, your computer's eligibility will be verified with Apple." Then tells me to call Apple Care who probably wouldn't be too happy to know what I am doing.

Any advice as my laptop has pretty much become close to unusable.

Might be best posting in the Mac section of the forum, you are currently in the IOS 10 section. Just a friendly heads up.

Thanks, new here. Don't know what I am doing.

I'm only new as well, but from what I have been reading, the Mac section will hopefully be able to help you out better.

I have a thread here dedicated to discussing OS X Yosemite on Unsupported Macs

I'm not sure if that SFOTT project is still active. oemden hasn't updated his script in a while.
