An upgrade to El Capitan will change my favorites?

Will be an update of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 effect a change in my favorites?

# However, before you upgrade, you should always make a backup complete your system or by using a program like CarbonCopyCloner or Time Machine, just to be sure.

    Time machine is unable to perform a backup. Not able to access the sparsebundle. First of all, there is problem with the Snow Leopard operating system. Dragon followed in the upgrade to El Capitan. Only difference was error code 109 changed to 'null '. What about someone?

    We need some info.

    You upgrade the computer snow to El Capo and keep the same name?

    If you want to backup, it is best to start again... clean the new backup any attempt to add a previous backup failed.

    I recommend that you actually erase the TC... do a complete factory reset and start again.

    The previous backup if necessary can be archived on a USB drive connected to the TC assuming that Airport utility can still access it. Airport utility accesses the TC?

    With update installs all sorts of things can go wrong... so tell me more if you can not get anywhere.

  • I'm running on snow leopard and upgrade to el capitan. If I just upgrade, my data will be safe after finished or need to recover again?

    I'm running on snow leopard and upgrade to el capitan. If I just update without backup (because I have no external HARD disk) data will generally be safe / normal after all as we updated iOS iPhone via OTA or need to recover the data again whenever we have updated to Mac OS?

    If all goes to plan, your data will be safe.  At times things go bad for a backup is indispensable if you value your data.

  • NORTON INTERNET SECURITY WILL NOT INTERFERE W UPGRADE TO EL CAPITAN?

    The Norton Internet Security software interference of the upgrade process w at El Capitan? 10.8.5 running in an iMac 2011 class w 16 GB of memory and, in view of the comments, am paranoid re: upgrade and anything that could it confuses.

    Mac do not need of any kind, including Norton anti-virus programs.  There is no virus for OS X currently, so anti-virus programs are not fundamentally necessary at this time.  Completely uninstall instructions for the developer.  Regarding the upgrade to El Capitan in general, make sure that you have a full backup of your system or with Time Machine or something like CarbonCopyCloner.  If you want, you could also partition your hard drive and install El Capitan top to 'test drive' so to speak, to see if you really like it.

    It also goes without saying that you must ensure that all your applications are updated to work with El Capitan.

  • iCal will sync with Google Calendar after upgrade of El Capitan

    I upgraded MacBook Pro my wife at El Capitan today.  We lost the google sync that has been put in place and now his iPhone and Gmail are synchronized, but no entry calendar is syncing to iCal on Mac. A workaround is to stop using iCal, but we loved it.  Only, we have the gmail account on the as an iCal calendar and have not checked in the settings of iCloud calendar.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I'm in the doghouse...

    Hi, jdemeritt.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    It seems that your Gmail Calendar events are no longer in the calendar once you upgrade to El Capitan.  Let's start by making sure that the calendar synchronization is enabled in system preferences > Internet accounts > Gmail.  If this option is not enabled, please enable this option and a few minutes before the data to download.  Verify that the correct Gmail account is added to his accounts on the internet.  In addition, be sure to check Gmail.com to check that these calendar events are present.

    OS X El Capitan: add your Twitter, Facebook and other Internet accounts

    If calendar synchronization option is enabled, disable synchronization of calendar to Gmail and turn it back on.

    I would like to know the result of these steps.

  • Trackpad will not iMac pair 2009 after upgrade to El Capitan

  • HP Photosmart 7515 will not print since upgrading to El Capitan.

    I can't print with my HP Photosmart 7515 since the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.1... I went to the HP site and installed only

  • Since the upgrade to El Capitan, my Mac is VERY slow.

    I just have to upgrade Yosemite El Capitan.  Since the upgrade, my Mac is VERY slow.  Spend a lot of time with the spinning beach ball, and slow to change application.

    Why?  What should do?

    Download and run EtreCheck, created by one of his own assistants here in CSA. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information.

  • I have a model end of 2013 13 MacBook Pro with 4 GB or RAM retina and think to upgrade to El Capitan. Is this enough RAM

    I have a model end of 2013 13 MacBook Pro with 4 GB or RAM retina and think to upgrade to El Capitan. Is this enough RAM

    Of course you can upgrade to El Capitan. But I think better if you can change the internal hard drive (SATA drive) in the SSD drive. You will get better results, faster than still, you only have 4 GB. This is mine... MacBook pro in early 2011.

  • After the upgrade to El Capitan, my iMac is very slow.

    I've recently upgraded to El Capitan 10.11.3 on my iMac (Mid2011). I have a cyber-security ESET Pro installed 6.1.12.0. After the upgrade I have trouble with the speed of the m/c and the startup takes a lot of time. I can't use my Photos and export pictures to google reader. I tried to disable the antivirus change, not much. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Better to uninstall completely any anti-virus protection and all the apps 'cleaner '.

    most people here will agree that there is no need of these

    also make sure you have enough RAM 4 GB is really minimal.

    and look for updates for third-party applications that you have installed.

  • LasetJet Pro M475dn: Impossible to scan over the network after upgrade to El Capitan

    After that I upgraded to El Capitan I no longer use HP Scan or HP Easy Scan to scan the network more. I can print to the printer, but analysis always results in the page being pulled by the document feeder, but applications just to lock-up without the document showing. Everything worked fine on Yosemite.

    I found a workaround solution that once worked before after a update of Mac OS X (but had to change the name of file, much like the original file has disappeared). Just download the next file on HP (no matter that it is not for your printer; it's not mine either (OfficeJet Pro L7680) but it works).

    Disable SIP for this installation and when you run the installation program (do not know if you need to do, but I did anyway). To do this, the instructions are here:

    https://forums.developer.Apple.com/thread/3981

    When you run the Setup program, make sure you hold the CTRL key when you right-click on it, then click Open in the menu.

    Run the Setup program. Be sure to select the HP scanning software and install it. When you get to the configuration of the printer, just skip this step (unless you are using the printer in question). The parser components are what you really want from the printer drivers are already in El Capitan, if you have a HP supported printer. The scanning software will have already installed to the moment you arrive at this screen.

    Install the HP Easy Scan on the App Store app (if you get the latest version of the software your front-end). You should be able to run the scanner and scans without restart. I don't know if it will work for everyone, but certainly, it worked for me and keep me until they find what went wrong in El Capitan to disable scanning and scanning capabilities.

    SIP turn on again so that your Mac is better protected. We should all work after that. After doing the above, I found that I was able to not only use the HP software, I was able to use Image Capture, preview, etc, to get images from the scanner. Your mileage may vary, but if all goes well it will work again for you all.

  • MacBook Pro a mess (maybe after upgrading to El Capitan)

    I need help in desperate mode.  I tried to implement everything that I know and I now return to the pros.    I have a Macbook Pro mid-2012.  The computer is still very well without any problems.   After about 3-4 weeks after the upgrade to El Capitan, I started to have problems.   I'm not sure it's related, so I don't want to blame the new version, but wanted to mention.

    The problems began with suddenly a series of cruise lines up and down my screen in vertical columns.  The computer would then closed and when I started it again, I would get three consecutive beeps.   After searching for the reason for this, I found that it was probably a RAM problem and saw messages recommending to turn on and remove two cards of memory RAM.  This would help the lines/beeps etc, but the beach ball began to spin all the time.     I ran a scan of material and everything checked, including the RAM.   I feel upgrade my RAM anyway (we stock 4 GB), so I buy new RAM and upgraded to 16 GB.   Unfortunately, this did not help to remove the rotation beach ball.   It runs the same as before, but the delay/spin isn't as long as it was before.  Seems that upgrading RAM reduces the time of "spin".

    Since the upgrade, I reset memory PRAM/NVRAM, recommended in this forum.  Did not help.   Then I booted the computer in Mode safe and also reset the SMC.   None worked.

    Then, I started in HD recovery using the command-R and repair the hard disk and permissions using first aid option in disk utility.   Nothing has changed.  Always turn the ball and beach closing my apps suddenly by itself.  The machine will be restart as suddenly about once a day for a reason any.

    The amazing thing is that the beach ball turns constantly and at the same time my activity monitor says I have 90% of free CPU while my reel becomes crazy.

    The next step on the list that I saw on the forum is to reinstall OS X.   I did not this again, because my Time Machine hangs and won't give me a recent backup.   I'm religious about backing up (about every 2-3 weeks) and my normal backups take about 30 minutes (usually leave it all night in stopping in bed).  Since this problem started, the Time Machine backup "preparedness Back Up Now" never of leaves.  I left overnight (8 hours) and still stuck in the preparation of backup mode.   I've even left for a total of 24 hours and nothing.   The only new information I have to save may not be more than 3 or 4 GBs top (just emails and documents (photos and videos are on the external drive), while certainly something will not.)

    Now that you have the story, what should I do?    I don't want to reinstall an OS X cool unless I have to, without a current backup.   This isn't the end of the world, but I would like to have the e-mails and documents that have been organized and classified over the last 2 months.

    I've seen enough of few people displaying the results of EtreCheck and to be lucky with this, so here are the results.  I don't know how to properly analyze it, but looks like I need a larger Time Machine backup drive.

    (Its the same thing I've always used, so don't know why all of a sudden it stopped allowing me to save.)   I remember that Time Machine used to give an opinion on the size of the disk when it is too small, and I got that.)

    Thank you all in advance for the help!

    Please read this message before doing anything.

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

    The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

    Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

    The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

    Test in safe mode. It will be slow, but there should be no beachballing. Same problem?

    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • Upgrade to El Capitan and Photos

    I have an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 2010.  I use iPhoto ' 09 v.8.1.2 for a library with 28 826 photos (67 GB).

    I want to upgrade to El Capitan.  I bought a copy of Photos for Mac and iOS: The Missing Manual to try to prepare.

    First step of the author for iPhoto to Photos to Mac migration is at level iPhoto to the latest version.  The catch-22 is that 9.6.1 has disappeared from the App Store and the author says that if you have not upgraded to iPhoto to 9.6.1 before you upgrade to OS X 10.3, iPhoto won't open at all.  My research of this forum seems to confirm that others have had the experience of not being able to update iPhoto, especially if they have never bought an iPhoto update in the App Store - I did not.

    So, which seems to mean that once I go to El Capitan, I no longer able to use iPhoto.  I can make it with that, but I still need to know the best way to prepare for the upgrade to avoid problems.

    27 October 2015 old Toad said to a person using an even older version of iPhoto, I am, ' you don't need to upgrade your iPhoto library, if everything you want to migrate to and use the new application Photos in El Capitan. "  It's reassuring.

    I know that the first step is a backup.  And I read that iPhoto, but also trash the Finder trash must be emptied.

    Is there anything else I need to do?

    When I upgraded to Snow Leopard to Lion mountain in February, old Toad advised me to first rebuilding my iPhoto library.  Integrated tool of Apple made a mess and I used iPhoto Library Manager version 3.2.4.  Is there a reason that I would need to rebuild the library again?

    Thank you!

    So, which seems to mean that once I go to El Capitan, I no longer able to use iPhoto.  I can make it with that, but I still need to know the best way to prepare for the upgrade to avoid problems.

    It's true.  9.6.1 iPhoto is the only version compatible with El Capitan.

    But you can't update iPhoto 8.1.2 to this version.  It is not a free update, but requires a purchase of iPhoto 11, and that is not possible any longer, because Apple has stopped selling iPhoto on the App Store.

    When I upgraded to Snow Leopard to Lion mountain in February, old Toad advised me to first rebuilding my iPhoto library.  Integrated tool of Apple made a mess and I used iPhoto Library Manager version 3.2.4.  Is there a reason that I would need to rebuild the library again?

    It would be wise to carry out all repairs - repair permissions, library, in order to ensure the iPhoto library has no problem to repair. It must be done before you upgrade the system, because it will be impossible to run iPhoto 9.8.1 after the upgrade, if you discover problems with the library.  But make a backup copy of the library, before fix it you. This way you can easily restore the original library, if repair should go wrong.

    I know that the first step is a backup.

    Make a full backup - a Time machine backup or a bootable clone.  Then you can restore your system, if you should encounter any problems with El Capitan.  See: OS X El Capitan: revert to a previous version of OS X

    Where your iPhoto library that Library stored?  If it's on an external drive, move it to a disc, it's to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Otherwise the Migration to pictures does not work.

    Photos does not yet support lot changing like iPhoto.  If you need batch change titles to the date or the name of the file do while you still use iPhoto.

    Complete all projects book or calendar in iPhoto, because the book and calendar templates have changed and books may be different in Photos.
