• Lion running on base 2011 MacBook Pro afraid of: upgrade to "El Capitan."

  I have a base 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It becomes kind of slow, but I just had it looked at. No problems. I'm afraid of a free upgrade to El Capitan as it may run more slowly. I have much stored and not in the game. Think to pay shop install for $30 Mountain Lion. Thoughts?

  There should be a reason why a Mac starts running slow.  First find the reason (s) and then upgrade.

  A good starting point is a download and publishing a report Etrecheck:

• I'll always be able to run the opening after upgrade to El Capitan?

  I want to install Office 2016 on my MacBook Pro which is running 10.9.5 - it asks me to upgrade to El Capitan. I'm afraid that Aperture will not work more.

  On El Capitan, you need opening 3.6.  You are currently running opening 3.5.1 or an older version?

  Before you upgrade to el Capitan make a full time Machine backup of you system so that you can return to the Mavericks, if need to be.  (see: OS X El Capitan: revert to a previous version of OS X)

  And check if you are able to update to 3.6 opening.  Check before upgrade you to El Capitan.

  • Open the App Store and sing in your account in the Store with your AppleID menu.
  • The fourth "shopping" tab  Figure opening it to your purchase history?  If so, you can update opening 3.6, once you have upgraded to El Capitan.  If the opening is absent from your purchase history, you will only be able to update with the help of the PapSTore supported.

  See this user Tip: update to Aperture 3.6 after the release of Photos

  https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-8402

  3.6 the opening is the latest version of Aperture and the only one to run on El Capitan.

  There are more and more questions with an opening. Opening 3.6 is running on El Capitan, but keep accumulating the minor bugs.

  • The thumbnails in the list view are backwards.  Re: opening and El Capitan OSX

• A lot of cookies since the upgrade to El Capitan

  With the Mountain Lion, I'd end up usually with 15 to 20 cookies.  Since the upgrade to El Capitan, and using the same sites, I find myself with cookies from 80-90.  The cookie setting is "allow Web sites I visit."  I was wondering if I need to change something or if I missed a setting.  (I've been clear all cookies after each session.)

  You always have the same "ad blocker" installed

  extension or add-ons?

  I'm afraid that this is the best you can do. Or turn off all cookies

• Upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite

  I have a fairly new MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I was going to upgrade to El Capitan, but now he me Sierra offers instead. I don't want to do because of the risk that £500 dollars worth of software (File Maker Pro 11, final draft 8, Office 2011) will stop working.

  My office is running El Cap, and applications above all work fine.

  In my view, there is the ease of upgrade to El Cap, but he seems to be reserved for people running older versions. Do you think I can upgrade using this path? Or everything will go horribly wrong?

  Thank you

  Hello nancy milano,.

  Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to complete your update to El Capitan at a later date! The good news is that you can simply delete the "install Mac OS X" install app in the Applications folder on your Mac. Then you can open the Mac App Store when you're ready to update and restart the download from the tab updates or searching through the Mac App Store for El Capitan. This is a resource that explains the process of update more:

• MacBook Pro has started to randomly stop when it is on battery since the upgrade to El Capitan

  I have a MacBook Pro (15 inch, early 2011) which works very well on the Mountain Lion for a long time. I finally got round to upgrading to El Capitan last week: directly to 10.11.6. A few days later he just powered down without warning while I was working. He was so very well for a few days, but then made several times in the last 48 hours.

  I am moderately sure it happens only when it is on battery (it did not in the past hours 8 while that plugged). Whenever it happens, that there is no warning and the Mac then fine restarts (manually) - Although the clock resets always in 1970 until he can contact an NTP server. One of the curious side effects is that my PostScript fonts were blank on the screen in Excel for a few reboots yesterday but then OK once again!

  No hardware has changed. Major software change is only El Capitan and possibly an iStat Menus update.

  I have reset PRAM and SMC. I ran the short AHT. I disassembled the machine and clean the fans. they were OK, but the problem seems to occur when the Mac is hot.

  Spotlight and Time Machine sometimes seemed to be struggling for the upgrade, and I also saw rpcsvchost with 100% of a core for a while. The machine feels sometimes slow - but for the last 8 hours, it was very good. The only model that I put in place, is that it seems to occur only on battery; It's even happened then that the Dock (etc.) were loading after logging in after an unexpected shutdown.

  The other thing common is in the newspapers every time:

  Cause of previous stop:-128

  I scanned a number of related posts to aspects of it, but do not look at who blames El Capitan rather than material. Yet, many people reported this kind of problem after the upgrade... Coincidence?

  Any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Cause of previous stop:-128

  A negative stop code generally indicates a hardware failure. Have the Apple to assess your Mac. The fix may be as simple as a spare battery.

Who could have when it stopped, but I'm not sure.

  Hello mrtrytofixit,

  Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to be able to rely on public services provides your Mac and I want to help you get things working again. With troubleshooting, you have already done, it seems that it is a systemic problem.

• Printing problems since upgrading to El Capitan

  Two weeks ago, that I've upgraded to El Capitan. Since then I was able to print from Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Office programs. I use my Macbook for business purposes, and there is downtime with my work on this issue. This has nothing to do with printer drivers that I can't print to PDF either.

  I've used nothing helps Apple telephone support. I went to an Apple genius bar and they could not understand either. They have wiped my phone, and then I went home and restored the time upward from the standby machine. The problem was still there. So I uninstalled Microsoft office (last resort recommended by technician at the genius bar) and reinstalled. The problem is still there, and worse yet the Outlook is freezing. I rang a repairer of random computer company this morning specializing in Macs. They said they couldn't help me because they would only do what I've done. My Macbook Pro is just a few years, and now I'm looking down the barrel of the purchase of a new laptop - all because I upgraded to El Capitan!

• My address book contacts have disappeared since the upgrade to El Capitan. Where are they?

  Hi, I upgraded to El Capitan yesterday and all the contacts in my address book Thunderbird disappeared. The AddressBook is completely empty. In addition, he didn't even address on the left hand books, for example "personal address book" etc. My contacts are stored on my computer? If so, where they are located and how can I get back to my address book? I've been adding contacts for a few years. When I compose email, email addresses are auto-fill in the field of composition, so it seems they are still out there? Thank you.

  Open the address book window.
