So I took a deep breath (hate glue), followed the instructions, and - voila! Resurrected button!
But, if you peel the disc off, and then re-stick it slightly off-centre, it will work again. I looked at a few vids on YouTube, and saw that the common problem with the Trackpad button not working is that the metal disc that closes the contacts ends up wearing a hole through the contact. Not sure if I posted here (MacRumors) or not about my Trackpad resurrection?! Over on the Windows side of the 2008 MacBook: For usability, El Cap may very well be a bad choice due not being 100% supported there. So on the Mac side of things, it looks like 10.11 is the best choice for security's sake.
#CCLEANER FOR MAC 10.10 MAC OS X#
To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier.Īlso see: Which Macs are compatible with OS X El Capitan (10.11)? What are the system requirements? Which Macs support which features? Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. It is not capable of running macOS Sierra (10.12) or subsequent versions of the macOS at all. When running Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" it is not supported booting in 64-bit mode.
*This system can run the last version of OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" and OS X 10.11 "El Capitan," although advanced feature support is minimal (Mac-to-Mac AirDrop is supported).
