System requirements

OS X Yosemite is compatible with the same hardware as the predecessors OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" and OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion".

  • iMac (from fifth generation, August 2007)
  • MacBook (from 13 "unibody model, 2008, from 13" model, beginning of 2009)
  • MacBook Pro (from 13 ″ model, seventh generation June 2009; from 15 ″ and 17 ″ model, third generation June 2007)
  • MacBook Air (from late 2008)
  • Mac mini (3rd generation or later March 2009)

According to Apple, certain functions such as handoff only work with newer hardware. Handoff, for example, requires Bluetooth 4.0 and has worked on the MacBook Air and Mac Mini from the device generation since 2011, on the MacBook Pro and iMac from devices manufactured in mid / late 2012.

The situation with the MacBook Air and the Mac Mini looks a bit more relaxed, because Apple had built in Bluetooth 4.0 here since 2011. "
