Stacks A really neat way to manage files. Stacks keeps your desktop free of clutter by automatically organizing your files into related groups. Arrange by kind to see images, documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, and more sort themselves.

If you want to update your Mac to a newer version of MacOS, in older versions of MacOS and Mac OS X click on the Apple logo in the top left and choose App Store, or click on the Mac App Store icon.

You can also group your work by date. And if you tag files with project-specific metadata, like client names, sorting by stacks becomes a powerful way to manage multiple jobs. To scrub through a stack, use two fingers on a trackpad or one finger on a Multi-Touch mouse. To access a file, click to expand the stack, then open what you need. Screenshots Screenshots are now a snap. With macOS Mojave, all the controls you need to grab any type of screenshot are one simple shortcut away. Just launch the new Screenshot utility or press Shift-Command-5.

An easy-to-use menu includes new screen-recording tools and options for setting a start timer, showing the cursor, and even choosing where you’d like to save your screenshots. Take a screenshot and a thumbnail of it animates to the corner of the screen. Leave it there to automatically save it to the destination you’ve chosen. You can drag it directly into a document or click it to mark it up and share it right away — without having to save a copy. It’s more than easy; it’s clutter-free.

Continuity Camera Take a photo right to your Mac. Now you can use your iPhone to shoot or scan a nearby object or document and have it automatically appear on your Mac. Just choose Insert a Photo from the File menu.

You can take a photo of something on your desk and instantly see it in your Pages document. Or scan a receipt, and a straightened version is immediately available in the Finder as a PDF. Continuity Camera works in the Finder, Mail, Messages, Notes, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers.

I think this is the model that bought used 5 years ago, then upgraded the RAM, and gave to my parents to use. I think 10.6 Snow Leopard was probably the most stable OSX, it was my favorite. I think that once MacOS became free, the quality went down hill. Adobe flash for high sierra mac.

But, 10.8 Mountain Lion was probably the most stable for the recent ones. I currently use 10.11 on my main Mac, and I am scared to upgrade any further. I believe that the highest that is supported on the mid 2007 is 10.11. I would recommend to upgrade the RAM, I think it can take up to 6GB, 1 2Gb and 1 4GB. My father has been complaining about the computer running slow, so I was thinking about upgrading the slow HDD with a cheap, but fast, SSD.

Might be able to get some more life out of it. Click to expand.Maybe I should tell you what ones to avoid. Do not use 10.7 Lion, while I have never used it, there were a ton of problems with it. Also, stay away from 10.9 Maverick, I currently use this on my MacPro 1,1, it is not as stable as 10.8, and it has memory leak issues. I think 10.10 Yosemite was okay, but not as good as 10.6, 10.8, or 10.11. So, to rate them from best to crap, 10.6, 10.8, 10.11, 10.10, 10.9, 10.7. As for what is best for the Core 2 Duo, I think how I rated them would be a good guide.

While 10.6 is the best, I don't think you can use it with iCloud. 10.8 would probably be the best fit to do modern stuff, while keeping stuff fast and stable. An SSD will make the biggest difference in terms of performance, and make the machine quite usable as a general purpose home rig.

10.7 and later versions do a lot of state-tracking and mini saves; the result is a lot more disk I/O compared to 10.6 and earlier. The limited RAM in those models (unless you're willing to spring for a 6GB upgrade) means that even when VM is leaned on, it won't hurt nearly as much with an SSD as with a spinning drive. As far as the OS, I wouldn't mess around with anything but 10.11. It's still supported to a larger extent, and the memory compression that was introduced in 10.9 only got more refined so that what little RAM is available is better managed. Turn off some of the superfluous UI graphical effects (like transparency) to relieve the burden on the graphics car and the result is a machine that will still be viable despite being 10-year old technology, running a fairly up to date OS. Thanks again for your help guys. I have finally checked my father's computer and though it runs smoothly with 10.6.8 it's true that it has some limitations regarding versions of apps: chrome has not further updates offered to this system, same happens with skype, etc.
