My question is will Yosemite work on my 2009 mbP? I too always back up my computer with a system on an external drive just in case. I have a back up drive for every system at least three back, maybe more. I also back up to the time capsule, but I don't trust that it will not die. I already had one with problems and bought another one, but I'm not trustful of any device and don't assume it will last forever.ELLEN
The developer preview builds of OS X Yosemite suggest that any Mac capable of running OS X Mavericks (10.9) is also capable of running OS X Yosemite (10.10). Accordingly, here's the list from ArsTechnica's entry on the matter, the presumption as of now is that Macs that can run Yosemite Dev Preview 1 will continue to be compatible with the final version.
iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
- MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or newer), (15-inch, Mid / Late 2007 or newer), (17-inch, Late 2007 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
- Mac Mini (Early 2009 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
- Xserve (Early 2009)
You'll notice the primary hardware requirement is a 64-bit CPU, which is generally an Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor.
Of course, the list of minimally required hardware is going to be different than what offers ideal performance with all the translucent effects functioning as they intend to without degrading overall system performance, but some of that we won't know until OS X Yosemite is released in the fall to the public. Generally speaking, the newer the computer the better, and the more resources available the better the performance.
