I’ve got a bricked 2008 Mac mini. Still runs perfectly fine but I can’t seem to get the os updated. They say they don’t support it? And you can’t seem to access websites with a browser that old and I can’t seem to install a new browser on that old of an Os.
I can’t even get linux to install. It won’t seem to boot to a usb.
- peterburkimsher 6y agoThe newest Mac OS for a 2008 Mac Mini (A1176) is 10.7.5. It should be possible to boot from USB by holding option when it starts. Some versions of Linux will work with the 32-bit EFI, but maybe not the latest versions. Try burning Ubuntu 10 to a CD, and you can probably get it to boot (holding option and choosing the disk, or holding C to boot from CD).
