You cannot run the newest OS on an older iMac with the Power PC processor. It must be running on the Intel processor. You can however update an older Mac with all the updates available for that model iMac. Just click the Apple icon and choose Software Update.

Why does apple put an i in front of their products?

Apple's first product that made use of the "i" was the iMac computer in 1998. The i stood for Internet to which the iMac could easily be connected - in those days it could be difficult to configure a connection but increasing numbers of people were starting to use it. Eventually, it became an important part of Apple's branding and has become generic with the release of the iPod, iPhone, iPad, iMovie, etc.
