  • MacBook 2008 El Capitan or Mavericks

    I buy a refurbished Macbook 2008. This is a screen of 13.3 "with 2.4 GHZ. I have a selection of El Capitan, Yosemite or Mavericks. Should I go with the Mavericks or El Capitan? I have a friend who has upgraded to El Capitan with his 2008. I also heard some of those who have said that they will never switch to El Capitan and will stay with the Mavericks. Since I have this choice, choose El Capitan or Maverick? I basically will use this laptop for Keynote presentations. It would be nice to go on the Internet searching for information required for presentations. Thanks for the help! Bookman

    I guess that your Macbook is a fine model of 2008.

    Unless you had some Mavericks, installed in another computer and it is in your App store account, you won't be able to use it because it is no longer available.  This soul El Capitan is your only choice.

    Since this Macbook is new to you, you will need to install the original OS x (Leopard) or Snow Leopard to get the Macbook associated with your Apple ID.  This is necessary so that you can install updates (including the OSX)

    You will need this disk:

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-Leopard

    Then run the Combo of Snow Leopard update:

    https://support.Apple.com/kb/dl1399?locale=en_US

    This moment will allow you to install the Mavericks (assuming that you have a copy of your App Store account) or El Capitan.

  • What would be the optimal OS to install on a 13 "MacBook Pro 2009?  El Capitan can be advanced to install on such an old Mac Book Pro.   Thanks for any input on this!

    El Capitan is the only one to use, clean the shit of your Mac first and if you have less than 4G of Ram, increase to 4 or more

  • I've updated to el capitan 10.11 and now I can't play any movie .mov or .hq.  Do I need an older version?

    I've updated to el capitan 10.11 and now I can't play any movie .mov or .hq.  Do I need an older version of quicktime?

    The old QuickTime plugin is no longer supported.  You will need to download the old files .mov on your hard drive and either play in the QuickTime application or something like the well-respected VLC player (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html).

    Note that the only long-term solution will be to have the videos converted and displayed on the site Web in user-friendly formats for HTML5 modern.

  • Upgrade of a thin macbook air 2010 at El Capitan?  Should I do it?  Thank you!

    Decide to upgrade my Late 2010 Macbook Air to El Capitan.  Photos of all the problems with the migration?

    No problem with anything. See the basic steps for the upgrade of OS X. See also How to prepare your Mac for OS X 10.11 'El Capitan'.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

    To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

    Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

    1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

    2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

  • Should I move to El Capitan of Mavericks

    Currently have a mid-2009 MacBook Pro Mavericks to market with a 1 TB hard drive and a 2.26 gHZ processor. Just upgraded from 4 to 8 RAM with original thoughts to move towards El Capitan. I use Aperture 3.5.1, but understand that I would need to go to 3.6 so I went to El Capitan. Did some research and see how it is possible, if I move the current version of opening up a separate drive, install El Capitan and then switch to 3.6.

    All that being said, I wonder if I shouldn't even bother? I read on a few small problems, opening running on El Capitan. I know that I was able to partition my drive so that I can continue to work opening on Mavericks and El Capitan execution for all the rest, but that would be a pain to switch back and comes just to use other programs. I'm not so maybe that's not as much hassle I think it would be the guy most in computer science. Is it worth it to switch to El Capitan, or should I just stick with what I have now and enjoy the new my rugged up RAM speed?

    Only if you need since it is not a requirement. Never upgrade until you are sure that all of your critical software mission runs or can be upgraded to run on the new version of the OS.

    Eventually, however, you will need to upgrade to El Capitan. Unless you have a USB bootable installer of the Mavericks by car or kept the Mavericks Installer, you will not be able to reinstall it.

  • Update of my Macbook Pro (2010) to El Capitan?

    Hi all

    I've been planning to update my Macbook Pro 2010 at El capitan. But, I have only updated the software once before, to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if my mac can handle the transition. I want to upgrade because I hope that it will speed up my macbook. Any thoughts on the weather or not I should update?

    Thank you!

    The only way to know for sure how the MBP will respond to El Capitan is to install it.  However, you might want to install El Capitan on a different HARD disk or another volume and try it first before commit you to him.  That way, if she does she not suit you, you can easily return to Snow Leopard.

    If you have not already 8 GB of RAM installed in your 2010 MBP, I suggest that you do.  El Capitan likes to use a lot of RAM.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

  • All of a sudden, the emails I am dial are a building block in the middle of the screen.  I can't minimize or move the drive to refer to another email.  Must send to the project folder.  Boring!  Why is this happening?

    Hello!  All of a sudden, the emails I am dial are a building block in the middle of the screen.  I can't minimize or move them if I need to take a break to refer to another email.  I send email partially completed to the drafts folder.  It is extremely annoying.  How to do this?  Operating system is OS X Yosemite (10.10.5) on a MacBook Pro.   Thank you!

    You are using the full screen? Try the command - command - F.

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

    Safe mode - subject

    Safe mode - Yosemite

  • Can I rent a movie from iTunes and then see it on the plane?

    Can I rent a movie from iTunes and then see it on the plane?

    In principle Yes. See about renting movies from the iTunes Store - Apple Support. Pay attention to this section:

    To watch your movie when you are disconnected, as on a flight from the airline where there is a Wi - Fi connection:

    • Download the whole movie before going offline.
    • Press play to start watching. The 24 hour timer starts even if you are offline.

    You may want to download rented movies before the day of your trip to make sure you have the time to download all the content.
