@brookeaadams  I've moved your post to the Origin tech section, since this is an issue with Origin and macOS.

 

Please let me know what operating system you have.  Click the Apple icon in the upper left corner, select About This Mac, and you'll see macOS [something].

@brookeaadams  Origin is currently broken on Yosemite.  Some players have had success using a legacy version though.  First, do a clean uninstall of Origin.  Be sure to remove its hidden library files as well.  Here's how:

You can download the legacy version from here:

 

https://www.dm.origin.com/mac/download/legacy

 

When you open it, be sure to uncheck the box to keep Origin and your games up to date, or else Origin will try to patch itself to the latest version.

@brookeaadams  No, the point of using the legacy version of Origin is that it works with Yosemite, so you don't need to update your OS.  You could definitely update to El Capitan at the very least, if you wanted, but it shouldn't be necessary at this point.

 

If you mean upgrade the hardware, then no, that's not necessary either.  This is a software problem.
