I bought a dead A1278 the motherboard was no good, so bought a second hand one and got it going. Safari, the App Store won’t update and various others, I can get Google and can download some things, but not the two I mentioned, could this be to do with security certificates, the only way I can think of would be to download to a usb an update, but would I be able to instal it, anybody any ideas please. As it seems very strange that some programs won’t run just a blank page.
Got a tip for us?

Hi Bigwaff, Really appreciate the help.
Many thanks for the reply, bit new to a MacBook Pro 8.1 OS X 10.7.5 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Says software upto date, but can’t get into Safari, EBay, The Weather, App Store ver 1.1.2 (92.10)
Maybe I am doing something wrong, Safari is ver 6.1.6 (7537.78.2) any help would be appreciated.
Thank you Bazzamer
