Decommissioning of El Capitan on new Macbook retina

Hello

The problem: I bought a new Macbook the retina mainly for music production. Unfortunately, none of my previous music software is compatible with El Capitan, which is more than a little frustrating and in many ways makes the useless computer to its destination.

I am aware that it is possible to downgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite, but I was wondering if you are able to do this on a brand new Mac retina without complications? Whether any new change something here? The process seems quite technical and I'm not very technically savy, so I don't want to end up ruining my computer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much.

You can not downgrade to Yosemite on a Mac that came with a later version of the operating system on it.

Have you checked to see if there are updates available for your music applications.

  • After El Capitan on new Macbook Pro Mail problems

    Mail doesn't work properly anymore now that I use a new mid-2015 MB Pro with El Capitan.  Non-Pourriel, including remittances from my own account to myself, is marked junk and put in the Junk folder. Mail that is not marked as spam is also put in the Junk folder. I can't find the rhyme or reason for the choice of the filter. I always install the latest updates on all of my devices. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

    There are two ways to designate as junk mail. One is based on the local 'training' that you used in the Mail application. These emails are marked in Brown, the other method is by e-mail based service provider on whatever rules or databases they use. These emails end up in the Junk folder, but are not marked in Brown.

    The only way to deal with the second type is to open a session in the portal provider email, change your preferences or update the address book provider.

  • the space bar is out of use MacBook (retina, 12 ", primo 2015)

    The SPACEBAR on my new MacBook (retina, 12 ", primo 2015) is not working properly.

    Does anyone have the same problem?

    Is there a quick fix?

    Greetings ThomasGlerup,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    I understand that the SPACEBAR on your new MacBook does not work as expected. We know that situations like this, especially on a new computer, can be frustrating, but we are here to help!

    To begin troubleshooting, I would say hollow work the steps in the following article.

    If certain keys on your laptop's built-in keyboard do not work

    If the keyboard produces only numbers, make sure that seeing the capslock key Num are disabled. Press the NumLock key to turn off his light.

    If the NumLock key has an indicator light, press the key and try again the keyboard.

    If none of the keys work, your Mac can show a low battery alert that you can not see. Connect your Mac to an electrical outlet, or connect an external keyboard to your Mac to the alert.

    If the other keys do not work

    You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.

    Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & speech, and then click Text to Speech. If "Text Speak selected when you press the button" is selected, deselect it or click on change the key to another key.

    Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.

    Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse & Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.

    Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

    To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose 'see the keyboard, Emoji, & viewers of symbols in the menu bar.

  • Fusion 6 installation on a new Macbook pro with Maverick

    I want to install fusion on my new macbook retina 15 6 inches, will be fusion 6 partition the drive or should I start using bootcamp and installed windows on a partition and fusion 6 I put aside?

    IMO CAD software will work still better installed under one OS natively installed on a physical hardware but with the speed of the processors of our days and the amount of RAM available to the consumer software CAD systems can preform well in a virtualized environment.  The large and more complexed work is obviously performance will be degraded more quickly in a virtualized environment and then when it is running in native mode.  My recommendation would be to test it on a Virtual Machine first and not to activate Windows or CAD software, if possible until you have tested and feel that its performance is satisfactory when virtualized.

    Also note if you use CAD software is activated using a calculated material hash and phones home so if you install it natively under Windows installed via Boot Camp and then choose to run the partition Boot Camp in a Virtual Machine, you may encounter the problem of reactivation of product and may not be able to run in both environments.  I suggest strongly of what you discuss with the making of a CAD software that you want to use before you continue!

  • I think to buy a new MacBook to replace my MacBook pro mid-2010, which still runs but becomes slow.  They say the current MacBook pro without retina display (which I don't think I need) is an old system and may be obsolete soon - true?

    I'm buying a new MacBook to replace my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of memory, which always runs, but becomes slow.   I don't think I need retina display (if I have a lot of photos and films on the subject), but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?

    Apple only can answer such a question, and the terms of use for these forums discourage us discuss what Apple plans to do.

    I too have a MBP 2010.  I installed an SSD and that increased performance.  Consider that as an option.

    You may experience other problems that slows down your MBP.  Before commit you the important cash for a new MBP, examine the potential software problems that may be responsible for the poor performance.  With the SSD, my 2010 works better than the day he came out of the box.

  • Can I use a LED Cinema Display of pre-2009 with a new MacBook Pro retina?

    Hello

    I am currently using a pre-2009 LED Cinema Display with a MacBook Air from mid-2011.

    Now, I want to replace my old MacBook Air with a brand new MacBook Pro 13 "retina.

    This combination works always and, above all, the Cinema Display Monitor will be able to manage the resolution of the retina?

    I have never seen anything in the resolution of the retina on the screen of cinema in 7 years, so I wonder if he can really handle.

    Thanks for any help.

    The Cinema Display isn't a Retina display, so it will not show HiDPI resolutions. But it will work fine with your new machine.

  • New MacBook Pro with El Capitan and CS6

    Hello, I recently got a new MacBook Pro to replace an older Macbook and I am an old user of CS6.  I searched the forum and found many questions/answers about CS6 and El Cap, but most deal with people who have updated their current computer to the new IOS.  THIS isn't the case for me, since it is a new computer that has never had (yet) installed cs6


    I want to determine if I can use my Photoshop CS6, bridge, After Effects, Illustrator, and Adobe reader and possibly first Pro with my new computer.  I don't like not everything (and some I do not know yet what it is) my main priorities are the PS, bridge and After Effects.

    I have a 15 "MacBook Pro with IOS 10.11.4.  I am a bit confused whether I can run CS6 or not.  I'm getting mixed messages from different messages about patches, workarounds, and other things.

    I prefer to use what I already have, but if I have to download CC is there anything I should know before I try to install it?

    Thank you in advance!

    CS6 and previous programs have not been tested and will not be updated to run on Mac El Capitan

    -which means you are trying to use CS6 and earlier at YOUR risk of having problems

    -You can get CS6 and previous programs to install and run, or you can not (some do, some don't)

    -Java https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/dreamweaver-java-se-6-runtime.html can help

  • How can I manually transfer files/email to new macbook pro accounts

    I have the new macbook pro retina 13 "and do a clean install from a 2011 macbook pro.  I did basically except accounts e-mail and files.  The two machines are the latest el capitan 10.11.2 worm - two machines have the same version of Mail worm 9.2 (3112).

    I use POP mail - not IMAP - do not use the cloud.  I know the advantages and disadvantages, but it is like that.  I have 5 different email accounts with the files and associated files.

    I have tried to copy the mail and download e-mail to the library files in the same folder on the new computer.  During the opening of the mail on the new computer, he insists on setting up the new account.  I tried to configure an e-mail account.  THEN again by replacing new files in the folder library/mail with the mail from the old computer folder - once, does not work.  I also copied file library/container/apple.com.mail - and all other files related mail can be found in the mail folder.  Once again successfully.

    Yes have you tried importing mail, but this does NOT bring in my records or accounts.

    Any ideas before I wipe the drive and do a migration from scratch - lose the clean installation process.

    Thank you

    The best option is to use the Migration Wizard to transfer your accounts and your files. This will prevent the corruption of the library, which can cause several other problems. And it will not 'eliminate the clean installation state.'

  • 10.11.6 to early 2016 new macbook os update problem

    Hello

    I recently buy a new macbook 12 ". So far the only problem I have is upgrade to the latest OS. I click on update for it in the App store and it shows the time it takes to complete the update. When she is close to completing the update, it stops completely. I repeated the process a few days now. I keep my macbook restarted and update again, but the same thing happens. I tested on my macbook look older. I have a macbook air for two years. AppStore shows that the update as available and as I click on it. No problem at all. Managed to finish the update in 10 minutes or less and it restarts and the installation process occur as it supposed to be. So I don't know if it's the new macbook problem. Hope someone can help me on this issue. Or should I return or communicate directly with Apple? As he was buying a few days ago. Need help.

    Thank you.

    Hello luvang31,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    If I understand correctly, you are unable to update your new MacBook.  I have a suggestion that should help with this.

    The first thing I would do, it's what is on the backup computer. Nothing that I will propose should result in no data loss, but it's always a good idea to have a backup.  Your computer has software called Time Machine.  It is a fantastic software for backing up your computer.  Information on how to use Time Machine is available here:

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

    Once you have the backup, the next step would be to start the computer is safe mode and install the update from there.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.
    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    Once in safe mode, you should be able to install the update and then restart normally.

    Have a great day!

  • MacBook retina cannot find the USB hard drive when it is plugged again

    Hello world

    I have a MacBook retina 2015 computers and a hard drive WD elements USB3 that I use as a Time Machine backup when they travel. The drive is plugged into the USB - C through one of the Apple dongles and when I first start the computer, the USB is mounted and that it appears on the desktop. He does everything very well.

    When I want to take the machine away, I eject it, wait for the secure message and then physically disconnect the drive. However, when I go back and reconnect the drive, the Mac did not see it. The reader will be able as the light comes on and I can hear it turn. Just, it is not mount and is completely invisible for MacOS.

    I checked all connections, even used another dongle - no luck. A disconnect does not set, and I tried to reset the NVRAM. So far, the only solution is to reboot the Mac, afterwards the player reappears - at least until I need to unplug it again.

    Anyone got any ideas what is underway and if there is a fix?

    Thank you very much

    Mike.

    Hello, Mike Richards2,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    This is I think understand that you are not able to see an external hard drive when it is ejected, and then reconnect the computer.  I have some suggestions that I hope will help you.

    It is important to try to isolate what is responsible for this.  The first thing to do to help isolate what is causing the problem is to start the computer in what is called Safe Mode and see if the problem persists.

    Start in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.
    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Once the computer is running in safe mode, see if you can duplicate the issue.  If the problem does not appear, go ahead and try to reboot normally again.  If the problem has disappeared, it may have been caused by a problem of file or directory of cache fixed by booting in safe mode.

    If the question comes up, you'll want to check the login items.  Follow these instructions to remove the connection:

    OS X El Capitan: If you think you have incompatible connection points

    Remove the connection, restart the computer and see if the problem persists.

    Have a great day!
