Download el capitan

I had to reformat and reload my OS.  I managed to download and reinstall Yosemite which I had already purchased from the app store, but now I'm stuck trying to find El Capitan.  This has been removed from the app store two days when they made available Sierra.  I used to have of El Capitan installed, which I think was a free upgrade to Yosemite, so I know that it worked on my system.  I can't upgrade to Sierra because my iMac is 2007 and Sierra is not supported on systems older than the 2009 year.

I found several El Capitan updates on the net, but they will not install unless I have the base OS El Capitan installed first.  Yes, is there anywhere I can get a new copy of El Capitan, or a set of improvements to El Capitan Yosemite?

    After you download El Capitan, the wheel continues to turn and do not have access to the computer.  What should I do?  He turned for 3 hours.

    Hi artfromfl,

    Thank you for upgrading your Mac to OS X El Capitan! If the download seems to be blocked for a few hours, try to force the Mac to shutdown by holding down the power button until it stops. You can then try to leave it to the top in safe mode. Also, please check your internet connection, if you can connect the Mac directly to your router via an ethernet cable, it would speed up the download process.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the download does not progress in safe mode, you can delete the El Capitan installer in your downloads folder in the Finder application, and then try to download os Sierra instead.  macOS Sierra

    This should put Mac to update without delay at all. Please use the Apple Support communities to post your question. Good day.

  • Cannot download El Capitan, app store fails

    I put a new SSD in my Mac Mini and for the last week, I was not able to get to El Capitan for download. It has never been about 2.5 GB on the 6.2 GB download. It's not my connection, or the set of app store. I could download Yosemite, as well as other applications that I bought. I can't stay behind because I did turn El Cap since last fall, and now a lot of things don't work. For example, the photo library will of there El Cap of the application version, so I can't access it, let alone add new pictures to the library.

    Is there another way to download El Cap? It's something specific to downloading this OS via the app store. I even tried with my friend who is fast enough to the internet, and he said that it would take more than 2 days to download, but we downloaded Yosemite in 15 minutes.

    There is no other way to download El Capitan. It is only available on the App Store.

    First try Safe Mode boot. Which removes the system cache that can help.

    1. Start or restart your Mac.
    2. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
    3. Release the SHIFT key when you see the logo Apple appears on the screen.

    After the Apple logo appears, this may take longer than usual to reach the login screen or your office. This is because your Mac performs a check of directory of your drive to boot in safe mode.

    To leave safe mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

    Then try to download El Capitan.

    If this does not help, one suggestion would be to check the boot drive for errors and then restore OS X using OS X Recovery.

    Hi gr.

    Drag / drop photos to Pages ' 09 seems to be broken. Copy-paste works.

    Select the photo in the Photos. Edition > copy

    Click in the page document. Edition > paste

    Faster:

    Command + V

  • Since I downloaded El Capitan I get a notice of entry of device of 'Santa Barbara School District' saying that they can automatically configure my Mac!... I don't want that at all

    Since I downloaded El Capitan I get a notice of entry of device of 'Santa Barbara School District' saying that they can automatically configure my Mac!... I don't want that at all!... It appears every 30 minutes or so... El Capitan is safe?

    The computer has a serial number which is included in a registration of devices belonging to an organization. If you do not belong to this organization and that you didn't acquire the device with him, then there was an error or the device (or the logic board) is stolen. If the unit was purchased used, for example on Ebay, or if the card has been replaced by an unauthorized service provider, then it is almost certainly stolen goods. Otherwise, you must take the device to an Apple Store or to an other authorized service provider to have serial number has changed. May asked you proof of ownership.

  • I want to download El Capitan, but KEEP the installer

    I want to download El Capitan, but KEEP the installation program.

    I have a partitioned hard drive, (I need to keep old versions of Mac OS because I do video editing).

    How can I keep El Capitan Installer?   As many know, in the world of the downloaded software, installers can be removed or disappear. I like to keep a copy of things as much as possible.

    Thank you.

    As soon as the download is complete, it will jump to the top of the installation start screen. Press command-Q to stop the installation. Open the Applications folder and copy the El Capitan installer in any drive you want as a backup.

  • Download El Capitan into small pieces?

    My data plan allows only 800 MB per day.

    Can I download El Capitan into small pieces for several days, or need to download in a 6 GB file?

    N ° Apple does not split files into small pieces, you can go back. Why not visit the local Apple retailer/dealer and ask them to allow you to make a copy of the file. Don't forget to put a 16 GB USB stick with you that has been partitioned and formatted for Mac. Or you can ask a friend with a best data plan.
