It also supports the last version of OS X 10.10 'Yosemite' and OS X 10.11 'El Capitan' - including Mac-to-Mac AirDrop capability - but no other advanced features are supported. It is not capable of running macOS Sierra (10.12) or subsequent versions of the macOS at all. Old BIOS-based PCs and older Macs have a 2 TB ceiling, and the workaround is a PC or Mac that uses EFI and runs a 64-bit operating system. Mac Size Limitations. Early versions of the Classic Mac OS (prior to 7.5.2) have a 2 GB limit per partition, so higher capacity drives need only be partitioned into multiple 2 GB (or smaller) segments. It was a line drawn under the old, classic Mac as it had fundamentally been since the machine's first release in 1984. It was a line that marked the start of the new, modern OS X. Fifteen versions.
I recently journeyed into the land of the light and am the brand new owner of a MacBook Pro. Having been a slave to PC's for WAY too long, I am clueless how the mac operates, but a VERY quick learner.
I am have downloaded an executable file that I need for work, but cannot seem to get it to launch to install my program. I know this is very elementary, but we all have to start somewhere.
Thank you!

PS - this is only the first elementary question i will have, so if you have a good source for Mac beginners, please share. Demonic digestion mac os. I haved purchased 'Macbook Pro - Portable Genius', but that seems to be more focused on visually arranging my computer.
Sorry to say this but now you will become a Slave to Apple and Mac OS X.
Sunday at the memories ~the girl at the fountain~ mac os. Actually there is very little difference between the 2 platforms.
As to the Executable file. Apple Mac OS X does not use Executable files (.exe). Those are for Windows based computers. Mac OS X uses .DMG files and .APP files. .DMG is the compressed format of a program which may come as just a DMG or a DMG wrapped up in a .ZIP file.
You would need to double click on a ZIP file to expand it to a DMG then double click on the DMG to expand it into a working .APP file and then drag it to the Applications folder. Some programs have installers that walk you through the process and others don't. With the ones that don't you need to physically Drag the .APP file to the Applications folder to install it. The ones that do kind of walk you through the process you will still need to drag the app icon to the Applications folder but that will be done in its own window.
