Cannot install El Capitan on 4 year old Mac.
I tried to install El Capitan on a Mac 4 year, who worked the Mountain Lion. I get a message telling me that it cannot be installed on this system. I have not had any problems with the installation of this new operating system on my MacBook which is even older. Can anyone help?
your computer is on this list and has 2 GB RAM and 8.5 GB free space?

install el Capitan on no boot drive Mac Pro?
I have a Mac Pro Tower 2012. I want to install El Capitan on one of my disks in storage so that I can switch from the boot disks. I think it would be easy, but I don't know how.
Suggestions?
Hello
Paste the HD into a Bay in your MacPro.
Open disk utility. Partition the disk.
Be sure to only use the card Partition GUID and MAC OS extended (journaled) format
You can choose to have the drive as one partition and then put el Capitan on it.
Or you can have two or more partitions with El Capitan on one and use the other partitions
anything you want. For example, I have a 1 TB drive that has three partitions, one for Yosemite
one for El Capitan and the third for storage. Once you have configured your partion (s), quit disk utility.
Now you are ready to install El Capitan, the installation program will ask you where you want to install the operating system.
It can show you your original disk, but click on the button below "display more drives" this should display the disk partitions you created select one on your new drive and continue with the installation. "

Cannot install El Capitan, or restore Lion
I thought I would do a clean install of El Capitan today. So I started the drive in recovery mode, deleted, created an encrypted partition journaled + and begun the process to install OSX. It starts to download the installer from El Capitan, but after a while (always in the same place) hangs and does nothing. The Setup log says:
http://postimg.org/image/jp3khc9jr/full/
OK, lets try to install the original through command + Option + R, the installation of the internet called. It ends, restart, then after a bit of a DO NOT ENTER of loading sign shows that something was wrong. Any ideas what could be the problem?
It's a Macbook Air mid 2012.
Perhaps a network problem. If please connect to another network and try again. One option is to go to the Apple Store and use their network.

I can't install 10.0.1 on 9.4.1 on my Mac (10.6.6) because I can't select the previous version during the installation... I thought maybe I needed version 10 update, but I've been downloadable "older versions" of Adobe and he just 9.4.
Is there something else, or someone has a FTP URL with version 10.0.0 available for download?
You are probably trying to install update and not full installer. 10.0.1 update can be installed only if drive X is in your system. Here you have Reader 9.4. You can update this Reader 9.4.2 and not 10.0.1
If you want to install Reader X on Mac, go to http://get.adobe.com/reader
This will download Reader X (10.0.1 full installer that includes the update) package on your system. Run the package to install the Player 10.0.1 on your system
Thank you

I have a 64-bit processor in a 5 years old Mac?
I just loaded Photoshop elements 14 on my computer and you can use it pretty well, but I noticed that some of the windows are not as they appear in my book of elements kelby. Wonder if the processor in this Mac is quadruple-heart, because that's what they say, he needs.
Should be if the computer has been made since 2008 from. What model you have? If you have a MBP you probably haven't a processor quad-cord. But there is no way of knowing if we know exactly what model you have and how the hardware was configured when you bought it. For example, is it an i3, i5 or i7 processor. You can get the answers for most of this by selecting the about this Mac from the Apple menu.

It is not possible to use 16-bit on a 64-bit computer applications/games.
However, you can download and install Wondows XP Mode for windows 7. Later, you can install your 16-bit application in XP mode.

Cannot install Service Pack 1 after 4 years, Windows Vista Factory restore
I have a Dell XPS ONE and used the option to restore to the factory due to several problems. The system is 4 years old and maintain a 4 year old Windows Vista Home Premium system proved to be too much for me to handle.
When I try to update Windows, I managed about 60 updates, but then I get to the SP 1. He tells me that it is installed, but then I go to the update again and it tells me that I need SP I... I can go through the same indefinitely, SP 1 installation, but he always tells me that I need to install Service Pack 1 even if it was just installed successfully. Aparently, SP 1 is not installed correctly, but it tells me that it is installed. It is not!
In the meantime, I can ' t reinstall Norton Internet Security. He tells me that I need SP2 for Vista.

It is good, that you can not install Norton Product. Stop trying. No McAfee either.
Avast, AVG, Avira , or UnThreat are choices fine (free option).
You could spend ~ 60USD during two years of eSET NOD32 AntiVirus (not more - just product AntiVirus) and which would be more worthwhile.Regarding SP1 - do this manually. Windows Vista Edition _, _ - bit? [Fill in the blanks]
Download and save the SP1 that is appropriate for your architecture of Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) operating system (on your desktop). Reboot and logon. Right click on the saved file and choose Run as administrator. Follow through until it's done and restart with 5 minutes between each restart twice.

Then download updates post-SP2 via normal means.
