• Cannot install iOS 10.0.1 with Apple Configurator 1.7.2

  Hello

  I have 60 iPads in 5 carts (12 per basket) that I need to install some applications on. They are already configured and supervised with Apple Configurator 1.7.2. I've never had problems in the past with AC1, I've always been able to install the updates and applications easily with very few questions, because of that I've never felt the need to update to AC2. However, this time during the update of ios and refreshment, I get the error 'complete with an error - cannot install iOS' 10.0.1 And now 12 of my iPads are stuck in recovery mode.

  I tried before wipe them off and re supervise them, but I always get the cannot install iOS 10.0.1 error, followed by all the iPads stuck in restore mode. I tried to update only 1 or 2 at a time. I tried the update/supervise them with no apps queued for installation. I tried to restore the iPad via iTunes, which works, but when I try to put it back on AC1, I still get the same error mode and recovery.

  I tried searching online for compatibility with the new iOS and AC 1 problems but found nothing.

  I would like to know if there is more information I should provide that might help.

  Thank you for your time.

  Ben

  Hi Ben

  Makes your iPad successfully update to IOS 10, we have approximately 400 ipads, I've updated a single ipad at 10 IOS using our MacBook pro AC1 OSX El Capitan to test, ill try another now and see if its success.

  When you connect an ipad update the Configurator re-download the IOS 10 or use a cached copy?

  How your Configurator is connected to the internet (behind Proxy, Wifi, Ethernet), perhaps the downloaded IPSW file is corrupted and need to be redownloaded removed\.

  Kind regards

• What is the best solution of virtual machine to run El Capitan in Mountain Lion?

  Looking for the best solution run El Capitan in a mac Mountain Lion. I just need to use El Capitan to run xcode.

  There are 3 main reasons that I improve my main system at El Capitan:

  1 apps that I always trust that are only optimized to work up until the 10,8

  2. I want the convenience of not having to restart my computer to use 1 program.

  3. don't like projector or the interface of the user interface in general of 10.11

  Knowing that, what solution recommend you so I can use El Capitan in the environment of mountain lion.

  I know only vmware and parallels. Other options I'm missing? What would you recommend?

  Thank you

  I would recommend "don't bother." You don't like El Capitan then why do you want what it? If you know how to partition a disk, then install El Capitan on a new disk partition.

• I keep El Capitan, but Food Lion of Time Machine on a new partition on HDD. Is this possible?

  I run a Macbook Pro in 2011. I recently updated my OS from the Lion to El Capitan.

  Unfortunately, a major program I need to use is not compatible with the new OS X 10.11.

  Fortunately I made when I was still on 10.7, a time Machine backup before the update.

  I think to partition my internal drive to keep El Capitan, but also restore Lion of my Time Machine backup on the new partition. This way I can continue to use the program, I need by starting the Lion of the second partition.

  Is this feasible? If so, how can I restore Lion of Time Machine after partitioning my drive?

  Thanks in advance. Any help is very appreciated.

  Yes, but only if your computer can boot from a system of Lion. With regard to the full system restore using Time Machine: Please consult the FAQ of Time Machine of Pondini for help with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini is the site is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

• Trouble installing EL Capitan. Drive uses the GUID partition scheme

  Hello world

  I am installing an SSD on a Mac book pro 2011. I had been using the separate (Samsung ssd 830 256 GB) ssd (OS not installed) drive on my computer windows yet. I have created an El Capitan installation on a USB drive, swapped the hard drive on SSDS. I open at startup disk utility, erased the drive samsung with format: extended OSX journaled.

  Then returned to install El Capitan, but the Samsung SSD is grayed out and when I click it, it says "this disc is not use the GUID partition table scheme." Use disk utility to change the partition scheme. Select the drive, click the partition tab, select the volume configuration and then click options"

  However when I return to the disk utility, then select Samsung SSD, the partition tab is grayed out and cannot be selected.

  I don't know how to proceed. I would greatly appreciate any help

  Thank you

  .

  You must select the drive icon above the volume icon, that is selected in the screenshot.

• Clean install El Capitan

  Mac Min (end 2012) with OS 10.11.4

  After almost 4 years of loyal service, my Mac Mini has crashed. I have restored from Time Machine (Time Capsule). It took 3 days! It does not restore Mail and delete my account administrator a second restoration took 2 and a half days. Had a lot of problems after a lot of troubleshooting so I started the thread. I reinstalled El Capitan (not a clean install) of Apple and restored from Time Machine. It seemed to work after some difficulties of retrieving mail. I discovered that my account has been "standard". Not an administrator account. That's when I discovered that users & groups so that security preferences would not have been responsible and preferably errors windows generated. I reinstalled El Capitan again and the preferences panes issues are now fixed. It seems now that my basic problem is that I don't have an administrator account. As advised on the User Forums, I started using Cmd + S in Single User mode terminal where I should be able to create an administrator account. However, the terminal dΘmarrage aprΦs, I am unable to enter required text strings? I seem to be at an impasse.

  I seem to have discovered that my problem might be that my administrator account has no password (I wanted a quick no start-up of the action).

  I resolved to the fact that I may have to do a clean install. My question is if if I wipe the drive and re-install El Capitan, create an administrator account, and then retrieve the Time Machine backup and wait for all my applications (Parallels, 10 Windows, MS Office) get resettled.

  Any advice?

  Ron

  Yes, you can do it. Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

  I would rather a clone, but you already have corruption. Do not forget to save a TM time frame is before you had corruption.

• Install El Capitan on MacBook Pro early 2011 OS 10.7.5

  Hello!

  My friend has a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.5 (early 2011). The computer is awfully slow, far worse than my laptop with similar specs that has had upgrades of the OS of the routine.

  Apple says you can upgrade directly to El Capitan of 10.7, but my question to you is, do you think it would be better to:

  (a) to keep the computer as-is and upgrade to El Capitan via the App Store

  (b) factory restore the original OS and then move on to El Capitan via the App Store

  (c) charge El Capitan on an external drive and then install El Capitan to the laptop from the external drive

  (d) another method

  Thanks a ton!

  (I should have noted - there is not any number of files or applications on the computer that must be kept - just a few photos, music and documents that are already stored on an external drive)
