All the icons are question marks and everything seems to be only for newer versions. Everything in my purchased tab is telling me I need 10.12 or highter.

So question. Where do I find software for this old beast now?
 
you cant
apple does not support anything after El Capitan (maybe mavericks or Yosmite)
my mountain lion MacBook air won't run anything apple but iTunes and Apple website on safari.
even iCloud wont let me log in to mail without STMP annoyances.
everything worked in 2020 .
You could get El Captian on that (i think) and run most iCloud and app store program and sync iPads, etc.

hope this helped.

Web browsers for early Intel Macs

Finding web browsers that are still usable on today’s web can be a chore for older versions of OS X. The following is a list of known, up-to-date (or relatively up-to-date) and maintained web browsers, e-mail clients, and FTP clients, for Intel Macs with at least Snow Leopard support, then Lion...

There's also g00gle. I have 97 apps installed on Lion that didn't require the app store to get them.

Cheers

Nice, I'm still looking for a gui based mail client that can do tls1_2 in snowleopard. Neomutt is rough. Eclipse (last java 1.6 version) hopped on today. I'm just happy audacity and wireshark maintain archives.
