  This looks more like a bad USB cable or bad printer.

• Can I reinstall an app that I bought from the app store after a clean install of El Capitan?

  Hi all

  I did a clean install of El Capitan, which made my 2011 macbook pro currently unusable.

  A few days after installation I met problems I've ever had before. Baffled because since my drive hard worked completely fine with the Mavericks and Lion. No disk ever utility error. Computer froze a couple times the 5 years ive had the it. It has been stable.

  I explained my failed attempts to solve this problem in another thread here.

  So, if this is not relative, which seems to be caused all of this, I concluded it's a failing hard drive?

  My question is the only program of value I have logical hard disk Pro X (bought and downloaded 3 days ago) so anyway, given my problems with the hard drive I have can always reinstall logic after I got a new drive and reinstalled OSX?

  I'm on a PC at the moment and looked everywhere to find my purchase history of Logic Pro X. The only thing I can find official is my receipt by e-mail. I logged on the apple.com site with my Apple ID and it show nothing bought for the last 90 days. Active iPhone and cant find a purchase history. This suggests to me that you need to check on a mac on the App Store?

  Yes. You will need to check and it redownload via the Mac App Store with the original ID of Apple.

• How to do a clean install of El Capitan on new ssd?

  I bought a new SSD to replace the SATA drive in my Macbook Pro for mid-2010. I am running Yosemite. What I want to do, is to do a clean install of El Capitan on the SSD. I also bought a pregnant and plan on the use of the old drive as an external backup.

  I need some advice: after installing the ssd in the MBP and the old drive in the box, I intend to plug the old drive for the MBP, format the SSD drive and then use a reader flash which I did the Setup file of El Capitan to a clean of El Capitan for the SSD install and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate applications and files from the old drive.

  Is there a better way? Maybe install the SSD in the enclosure first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do cleaning installation of El Capitan?

  All advice is appreciated.

  installing the SSD in the pregnant first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do clean install of El Capitan?

  It's better. Some of these Macs experience problems after surgery. The new installation using the outside doing will give you confidence that it works before surgery, and no problem introduced by surgery can be separated from issues of installation and update. It will install and run in an external, just may be a little slow.

  Make sure that you have a Time Machine backup.

  Download El Capitan and do an install from USB.

  Start the installer from USB and install it.

• Clean install of El Capitan takes forever

  My SSD on my Mac Book Pro got some corrupted files, and I had to replace it. I am trying to do a clean install of El Capitan and it takes forever. It was 10 hours so far, and the status bar is about 75%.

  I have a new SSD, the i5 CPU, the 8 GB of RAM and 1 Gbps Internet access speed. For those who take a long time for installation and operating system is simply ridiculous. I used to be an Apple fanboy...

  The download is a function of connection. Installation depends on your hardware. Your connection may be 1 Gbit/s, but read this while you wait...

  That said, it's a very long download from Apple.

• I'd be able to do a clean install of El Capitan * without * destroy my Windows partition?

  I bought this media 2011 27 "iMac used earlier this year as a refurb from a dealer. It came with El Capitan installed, but I have the feeling that they had a facility upgrade compared to a clean install. The computer suffers from slow start and loading slow program (but once it loads then its fine). It's the same with my old iMac when I did an upgrade to Leopard years ago snow leopard, and erase the disk and performing a clean install OSX (and put files and programs back with Time Machine) has solved these problems then. So I thought it wouldn't hurt to try a clean install on this machine.

  But read the tutorials I noticed that if you are not the first owner of the computer, then you cannot install updates OSX without resetting the computer? Although I WAS able to install the OS via the App Store updates (and I thought that I linked my Apple ID to the machine when I put initially in place), won't install not mean I should be able to clean, or it will have to be completely reset?

  Yes, I've run disk utility and checked my HHD drive, it works fine. The entire machine is nice and quiet, not making abnormal sounds or perform exceptionally, it's just really the slow start in OSX and slow loading programs that are the problem.

  I also recently created a Windows partition and installed Windows 8.1. It starts and runs decently faster than OSX, so I think it's just a problem with OSX and not the HHD himself and do a clean install will be hopefully solve problems. This computer has given me a lot of grief, creating a partition to install Windows 8.1 (unlike my old iMac) so wouldn't really really really have to wipe the HHD together to "change the property" and having to mess with which once again...

  It 'sounds' like since the app store IS letting me install OS and updates to program with my Apple, I SHOULD be able to start in the RecoveryHD Partition and ID here to make a new install of Mac OS x on * just * my existing Mac partition. And this should not erase my * any * HHD, just the Mac partition. I'll save my whole Windows partition just to be safe, however. I could not find a guide which deals specifically with only reset the OSX partition and not wipe out Windows in the process, so I want to make sure I have my facts straight. I had planned on OSX reset and then restore my files with Time Machine. However, I also want to assure you that this will allow me to go even and reset the OS in the first place, given that I am not the original owner of the iMac and I don't know if they reset it correctly.

  Sorry for the extremely long question and TIA!

  Open the Mac App Store, make sure that you are signed in with your Apple ID and click on the purchase tab to see if El Capitan is associated with your Apple ID. If this isn't the case, you will need to download it so it will be associated with your Apple ID. If this is the case, you are all ready.

  Are updates to OS X, not the buyer, so you can install all the updates, but the OS needs to be associated with your Apple ID.

  I'm not sure about Windows, how did you install Windows? With Boot Camp? You should be able to clone on another drive (if you have one) using Clonezilla. Then wipe and reinstall El Capitan and put in place the Boot Camp partition and clone back.

• Clean install of El Capitan on iMac 2011

  I have just bought a new iMac and want to give my iMac 2011 to a friend. I would give it as if it had been purchased in an Apple store - El Capitan as the operating system with the apps that come with the purchase. The older iMac runs Yosemite.

  I did this before time, three years ago, but the manual missing on El Capitan suggests that a clean install is much more difficult.

  I ask to help anyone can offer to make this process as simple, easy and quick as possible.

  Thanks in advance,

  John Kendrick

  See > what to do before you sell or give away your Mac - Apple Support

  Basically, you need to install the original Lion OS X for this system using OS X Recovery and let your friend update to El Capitan.

  Please can someone help me find a simple solution for Nikon Capture NX2 installation on a new mac running El Capitan?

  Users who have the Nikon Capture NX2 already installed on their computer before moving to El Capitan are that the app still works.

  Is it possible to use disk in some way utility to transfer the application directly from the old mac running the Mavericks (Nikon Capture NX2 works on) to a USB port and then load the application on the new mac running El Capitan to evade the installation 'hang up' and or circumvent the SIP that perhaps the origin of the installation failure?

  Tried this but still crashes upward at the end point of the installation...

  Load Nikon Capture NX-2 on Mac OS 10.11.2
  • Mount the image file (.dmg) of Capture NX - 2 installation disc.
  • Launch the Terminal application (located in Applications / Utilities).
  • Copy the following line, paste it in the Terminal window, and then press ENTER.
  CD/Volumes/Capture\ NX\ 2 Setup.
  • Copy the following line, paste it in the Terminal window, and then press ENTER.
  CP - R. Capture\ NX\ ~/desktop/Capture\ NX\ Setup.pkg Setup.pkg
  • Terminal placed a "Capture NX Setup.pkg" file to the desktop.

  Leaving the Terminal.
  • Order click on Capture NX Setup.pkg file and choose "show package content".
  • Access to content / resources folder and remove the 2 elements called 'InstallationCheck' and 'InstallationCheck.applescript '.
  • Return to the "Capture NX Setup.pkg" file and double click it to begin the installation of the NX-2 as usual.

  Also tried to copy app work folder and library app support folder and a fall in correct place - app opens but does not not because of legitimate not recognize Nikon product key.

  Thank you very much!

  Follow the instructions here to deactivate the Protection of the integrity of system.

  Install Capture NX-2.

  Re-enable SIP.
