I believe 8.x is the last supported Node version for OS X Lion. I downloaded the latest version of MAMP for PHP development, which supports PHP 5.6. I'm still using Chrome but I don't sign in to anything or visit social media. Both weren't exactly what I was looking for. I downloaded Arcticfox and Spiderweb Browser.

I just wanted to follow-up in case anyone has the same question: So please tell me, if you have worked with this OS recently, what apps do you use with this OS? I don't really have a specific area I'm interested in- just seeing the breadth of what this computer can still do for me. All of my web browsers give 'unsupported' warnings, but still work to a degree.īut, for example, Skype does not let me sign in, and I have read that Skype is not supported below OS X 10.8. I am even running an ancient version of Spotify. So I am using Coda as a code editor, which seems to be fine for writing python scripts and web stuff. The problem I'm finding is that many applications aren't supported for such an old OS. One reason I'm using this old computer is because my DAW hardware (Presonus Firepod) isn't supported after 10.7, so I can use this machine to record audio in Logic 8. I want to learn if anyone else still uses this OS due to the same hardware limitations, and if so, what programs do you run on it? I hadn't used this laptop in about 5 years.

Hello, I have the macbook 4,1 which I just upgraded to OSX 10.7.5 Lion (I believe it's the highest OS supported by the hardware).
