Unsupported apps in mac os 10.7.5 lion

[kys3547]

Hello. I have MacBook 2007 mid with 10.7.5. I am trying to run some apps (e.g. OneDrive), and it doesn't work. I tried adjusting info.plist file, but it still does not work. I think it got blocked recently. Any solution for this?

Or, is there any way to update my os to Sierra?

You can try luck with older app versions (supposing you tried that already) or you may install a Sierra as a secondary OS (if you need your Lion)
Furthermore, you can install Windows 7 (in that guide Win10 but you can find google for Win 7 ROM) on your Mac as a secondary OS

The CPU in a 2007 MacBook doesn't have SSE4 instructions, which macOS Sierra and later versions require. So, updating to Sierra is 100% impossible. Lion (10.7.5) is the newest officially supported version of macOS but you can unofficially go to Mountain Lion (10.8.5).

Yep. I tried finding older versions and it sometimes works, but not for the apps I need. I will try Windows 7, but I am afraid if my MacBook does not support a USB booting device... I will try and let you know.

Is this fake?
It looks super simple.

I tried to follow this, but I cannot find a way to create Windows 7 booting USB... On my computer Windows 7 USB download tool is not working somehow...

This is on a 2009/2010 MacBook, as indicated by the fact it uses DDR3 RAM. It has an SSE4-capable CPU.
A 2007 MacBook does not have an SSE4-capable CPU and cannot run Sierra.

Then is there any way to bypass system requirement test and run the application?
I have the app, but I can't run it...

Time to start shopping for something new, or at least "new-ER" ...

With OneDrive you can use a browser to get access.

What other app are giving you problems?
