I can't go forward with this installation without some forward visibility. Answer (1 of 7): You should upgrade to High Sierra. The "Mac image"?!?! After searching for a while, I never found anything labeled a "Mac image" Is this a case of organizational disconnect at Ubuntu, or have I missed the link? Furthermore, what OS can I run on MacBook Pro 2011 Apple has removed Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan. High Sierra is the last OS you can upgrade to. You’d better upgrade RAM, you can upgrade till 16GB(two 8GB 1333 MHz PC3-10600 SO-DIMMs) and replace HDD with SSD. If the 64-bit image doesn't work, try the Mac image. Subsequently, what is the latest OS for MacBook Pro Late 2011 Hi, High Sierra is the latest macOS for your MacBook Pro. Most Macs with Intel processors will work with either 64-bit or Mac images. I've tried the "Live Installer", and I've tried installing from the bootable USB drive I made iaw Ubuntu's instructions. This seems incredible to me because if I run the Disks app in the Live system, it shows an EFI partition, and a 750 GB APFS partition! How could the installer not know? This leaves me cold because despite the optimistic assurances on the Ubuntu website that it could be installed on Macs, the installer doesn't even recognize what a macOS looks like on the hdd. It reports, "This computer currently has no detected operating systems." Which of course could not be more wrong.
