What's the last version of the OS that will actually run properly on my current machine? Bout to sell this piece of shit and get something else. Lags all the time, click on an icon in the dock and it stops for 3-4 seconds before it does the next step, how are Apple still making money when their shit just seems to suck?
>mac Well there's your problem. Apple has always sucks but marked a "lifestyle" to retards.

Now if you're not shitposting, then you're HDD is probably fucked, also Sierra runs better on SSD's, so I would install Mavericks if you really wanna keep the HDD.
Check the hard drive health, it's probably it.

probably 5400RPM hd

>have same model >install SSD >transfer everything over from backup >it's 100x faster It's because Sierra runs like a drunken snail with Down's syndrome if it's installed on an HDD.

A Macbook with a dedicated GPU that isn't dead that's a rare specimen

post geekbench scores faggot
My Hackintosh from 2012 scores 4000 single core and 11000 multicore

I guess I'm lucky I didn't update my MacOS install to sierra on a 15 year old 160GB sata drive, which actually runs pretty ok on El capitain
Ryder Taylor
It died in November 2016 Got it replaced just before the recall program ended Might just sell it to avoid it happening again since I know they're gonna fuck me
The SSD has my OS and apps HDD is for my video and audio files which i edit
Hard drive health is fine Still runs like a fucking cancer patient
What gives? How do I install and older version and what's the best one to use? This machine is strictly for beat making, video editing and shitty graphic designs

>It's because Sierra runs like a drunken snail with Down's syndrome if it's installed on an HDD. To be fair even with a PCIe SSD some things still run slow. Safari is fine but doesnt have NoScript, so I have to use firefox, but it is slow as shit on OS X. So much so that I setup a Remote Desktop Services RemoteApp server so I can use things without killing my battery or having it lag when I play video.

I would just do a fresh install, Backup your shit download sierra from the appstore and create some installer media

Your computer is 6 years old. What the fuck do you think is going to happen. That's like driving a car from the 1950s and bitching about gas mileage.
Logan Edwards
Intel hasn't done shit in the last 6 years and hardware doesn't get slower with age, there is nothing that could make that Mac slow besides some software issue.
Gabriel Roberts
I know you posted that unironically which is tragic
>CPU's slow down with age Yeah ok buddy go clean the dust to make it faster

Shouldnt run slow at all. Must be the HDD.
Juan Harris
Any way of verifying this for sure?
Owen Walker
>mac Found your problem.
Gabriel Lewis
run a disk benchmark and see if the speed is what it supposed to be
>What's the last version of the OS that will actually run properly on my current machine?
mavericks

I wish you troll-enablers would stop treating trolls as if they were serious. You, yourselves, almost sound sincere. But instead you're just stupid.

Toss a SSD in the bitch and she will be as good as new user.
Joshua Carter
Install El Capitan or Mavericks.
Owen Scott
Is El Capitan really faster?
I really see little reason to keep using Sierra, but I'm not sure how better it could be to go back to a version with less features (not many less, but still less).
