You first need to run Software Update and get to 10.6.8. Then you will have access to the Mac App Store and can download El Capitan 10.11 from there. Reactions: CoastalOR

I agree with chrfr. You need 10.6.8 before you can upgrade directly to 10.11.4. Here is the Apple Combo Update that will go directly from 10.6.2 to 10.6.8: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Last edited: Apr 15, 2016
