Hi,
I've just bought a used mid2012 MacBook Pro with 16Gb RAM and 250Gb SSD. It came I presume with Mountain Lion and I need to upgrade it to possibly Mojave or High Sierra in order to run Presonus' Notion and probably Studio One. I also want to run Steinberg's Dorico (my version is currently at 3.5 but I don't know if these OS will run it yet). I also need to get hold of a copy of Final Cut Pro to run on whatever OS I decide on. I've also got a Presonus IoStation 24C audio interface that I'd like to run if it will.
The problem I have is that at the moment I can't get the MacBook to talk to the App Store to download any new OS. I can't create a new apple id and when I click on 'Update software', I get the 'Unable to connect to the App Store' message. I tried putting Google 'Chrome' on the Macbook as I noticed using Safari I would get messages about 'the time and date is wrong' message (which they weren't) and hence unable to contact server. I managed to get on 'AllMacWorld' but their downloads didn't seem to work.

Has anybody got any idea where I go from here?
Many thanks,
Al

So I came across a great video:

I also had a problem with this mid-2012 MacBook with the RAM which was solved here:

Once you have El Capitan on the laptop, then you may go up to Catalina by using this link:

Hope that helps someone.
