El Capitan is that unstable?

I was 'tempted' upgrade to El Capitan.

I clean my hard drive (external/internal) and want to see if the update is worth.

However, I have read a lot of posts with saying that EC is at the origin of the nightmarish problems/issues for many users.

I have a 2011 MBP running Yosemite (that I've updated last Dec.)

The hard drive is the original one and I have a few old apps software installed. PhotoShop (backup copy), Microsoft 2011 are the main.

I keep the light of the internal hard drive when it comes to storage.

I am a photographer who makes a lot of editing with a video montage.

I hear the BIG change is a faster operation with El Capitan, but this seems to be the problem with users, as some say it is running slower and the gel.

Appreciate the comments... should I wait until the next update to switch to CBS?

Thank you in advance... ~ has ~.

So far, I have not experienced problems with El Capitan on one of my Macs.

  • How can I install El Capitan now that Sierra is available?

    I'm not ready for Sierra. I would like to improve my iMac to Yosemite to El Capitan, but appears not to be averrable in the App Store?

    How can I legally and officially download and upgrade to El Capitan?

    Thanks in advance.

    For the history of the free OS from Apple, once a new one is released, others disappear. You must download an Installer before the release of the new operating system.

    However, it may still be available: If your Mac is not Compatible with Sierra, but you have not improved in El Capitan

    As this points to a link in the iTunes Store, it is maybe not correct for all the places in the world. You may need to change the URL to find the one specific to your country, if not the United States.

  • Why I can't install El Capitan now that Sierra was released?

    I am running 10.8.5 on an iMac of mid-2011.  I really don't want to upgrade to Sierra on an old machine and may have a lot of problems on a first version, while I was looking to upgrade to El Capitan.  Why Apple removed this option?

    Apple removes older versions from the Mac App Store, once a new has been released.

    If you do not at any time to download El Capitan, then there is no way to do it now.

    If you have downloaded it at any time, it can be obtained from the purchase of the Mac App Store section.

    At this point, no major problems have been reported with Sierra however.

  • New Audio USB Interface lose sound on El Capitan

    Hi all!

    A few weeks ago that I upgraded my MacBook Pro retina 15 "end 2013 to El Capitan, after that my USB Audio Interfaces (Focusrite Scarlett 2i4) and Safire 6 USB stopped working properly. Both work correctly when they are connected to an iMac 5K running the same operating system.

    I can listen to Audio for some time (about 10-2 Minutes, it is always different), when the Audio starts to crush und get outs, after a certain time there is only silence "click on" come out of the speakers.

    Heres an Audio file of the sound that results from: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5nb96bmdh47kmi2/20160923%20141619.m4a?dl=0

    I already tried to reinstall OS X (starting with CMD R and reinstall OS), reset PRAM and SMC. Nothing has changed the question. Any ideas where it comes from?

    Greetings

    Chris

    It is most likely a software conflict. Note the time at which audio is running out. Open the Console and look for accidents or mistakes at this time.

    The reason why it crashes on a mac, but not the others most likely is related to differences in software installed. Run Etrecheck on touch mac and post the report here.

  • How to uninstall El Capitan and replaces it with clone of Snow Leopard?

    I had a chance terrible execution El Capitan, including in connection with CS5. It takes (literally) 10 x more time to save a .tiff file in El Capitan, than that of Snow Leopard. I suspect much too many processes running in the background, which most is probably not necessary, but I don't know that for sure. Something is not.

    I have a clone perfect my Snow Leopard former plant and wonder if that can just be installed right on El Capitan, as when we do an update of the operating system, or do I have to erase the whole score first, then install clone?

    (I know, I'll then have browser problems, but...)

    Hi CFS88,

    Thanks for joining the communities Support from Apple. I see your message you need to restore your operating system Snow Leopard of El Capitan. I'm happy to help you!

    To install Snow Leopard on your system, you will need to use a snow leopard install DVD or disc of original installation if your Mac comes with Snow Leopard originally. Once you insert the disc, press and hold the C button it restarts and restart your Mac. This will allow you to boot from the installation disc. From there, you can use disk utility to wipe your drive and reinstall OS X. Once installation is complete, you can choose your preferred option to migrate your data to your Mac using the installation wizard.

    If you use Time Machine, you can restore from a backup Time Machine with installed thus 10.6:

  • 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.

  • What is the path of the folder in El Capitan Apple?

    Hello friends, I recently mistakenly deleted an important 'Apple' folder and I know it's somewhere in the library.

    But I don't know exactly where it was in the folder library can someone please tell me the full path name?

    Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Apple is the only one I can find. Otherwise it is always in the Recycle Bin to restore? You can find it in Time Machine? See OS X El Capitan: files that come with your Mac. It lists the main areas that he could leave. Maybe he'll shake up your memory.

  • Snow Leopard update to El Capitan

    I need to upgrade my imac of El Capitan of Snow Leopard desktop (end 2008) 10.6.8 version. Read these forums useful to get advice, I do not understand some of the info/advice.

    I've been deleting old files and currently have 10.5 MB of available storage on the hard disk, the original mac hard drive.

    I have a 3 to backup (WD My Book for Mac) hard drive installed.

    Recently, I added 2 GB of memory for a total of 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRam.

    1. the same cloning to backup?

    2. If I have everything backed up on the external hard drive that automatically includes the old (current Snow Leopard) OS in case I need to go back or to be saved/cloned separately because I have seen recommended in the forums?

    3 partitioning?

    I read the recommendations to do a clean installation of El Capitan.

    Can I do this on the external hard drive?

    4 it is necessary to copy the old Snow Leopard and new El Capitan, as recommended, something about installing quit and dragging to the desktop.

    5 How long take to upgrade about once I start to download El Capitan?

    All the other advice that I missed would be greatly appreciated.

    Forgive me if I ask too many questions at a time. My problem to understand how to do without creating new problems is to find all the info in one place.

    And thanks to all those who help the rest of us who do not know these things.

    1. a backup copy of all of your computer includes all visible files but you would not be able to boot from it. A clone of the exact state of the hard drive backup and you can boot from it, or clone back again to restore a previous state. It is strongly recommended that you can return to Snow Leopard if you really pretty easily.

    2. Yes, if you make a clone.

    3 n ° operation of an external drive is slower. I should not do a clean install, because it will be wiping and after restore, your HDA drive. Partitioning, if you have enough space, may allow you to have both the old and new configurations available quickly, but it should not be necessary.

    4. this suggestion applies to the El Capitan installer that, left alone, will clear itself after installation. If you want to install on another machine is also good when you should leave as soon as it starts to install it and copy it to another location so that it remains available. None of this applies to Snow Leopard, which cannot be installed on disk.

    5. the download depends on your internet speed, and also how fast the server responds. I don't know about actual installation, but overall you must allow several hours.

  • pros and cons of upgrading to El Capitan de Leo

    What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of upgrading Lion 10.7.5 to El Capitan?  That would be my first upgrade.  This is a good initiative?

    In General, you should always pass to the last possible system like you meet the specs for, as long as you do not have "must have" applications that do not meet the requirements of the system.

    Check the specifications of El Capitan to be sure you can update your model.

    OS X El Capitan - technical specifications

    Several things you should do before moving...

    1. If you have questions on your current system don't their compound by installing above them. Solve them first, and then upgrade.

    2. check HARD drive for free space. At least 8.8 GB of available storage. Preferably more.

    3. check your applications for compatibility here... http://roaringapps.com/apps

    4 make a bootable clone SuperDuper! or clone double or use TimeMachine.

    5. unplug all devices, including USB hubs.

    6. After downloading the installer, it will be in the folder/Applications. Duplicate and drag the copy to other locations it download so if you want to save the installer.

    7 be patient, the download takes a long time, and the installation may appear as sometimes it is dead. Ignore it.

  • The button send on my MacBookPro has disappeared and I can't send emails on this device, but I can send it on my iPhone 6. I just upgraded to El Capitan

    The button 'Send' on my Mac Book Pro has disappeared and I can't send him. Other devices on the same WiFi have their buttons send and can send messages. I can also send mails on my iPhone6Plus. So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the supplier or the connection. I've recently updated to El Capitan. That's happened? How can I get the back button?

  • What is the latest version of El Capitan?

    .. .and how do I get it? I just bought a new MacBook Pro that claims to have 'OS X El Capitan 10.11.12 version', but the App Store wants to 'upgrade' me to 10.11.4. The support page for El Capitan shows that as the last available update, too. (I usually download my updates using a browser, because for some reason any app store often inexplicably quit unexpectedly after the download of a few dozen to a few hundred megabytes.) Whassup?

    The latest version is 10.11.4.

  • Recently acquired iMac - you want to install costs of El Capitan

    Hello

    I'm new to the world, it Mac - I recently acquired my son iMac (27 inch, late 2009), which has been well looked after and has already been updated to El Capitan.  I'm not a perfect beginner computer because I was using, construction and repair of PC from MS Windows 3 to go... and I wonder why it took me so long to get to Mac?

    There are things I would do with this new iMac (for me) before you start to use it seriously initially there many applications and programs and games that my son installed and used that I will probably never, I would do a fresh install of OS - X El Capitan so that I can update the whole as a new system. I would also like to upgrade memory, the vehicle currently has 4 GB of memory (2 x 2 GB DIMMS) and I would like to upgrade it's full potential 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) I saw compatible available from Crucial.com SODIMM is a job that I could realize as I have work on PC etc and am not afraid to give it a go myself if its possible.

    All tips will be useful (please excuse the terminology if it is not correct in referring to all things Mac) Please be nice :-)

    Thanks in advance

    First of all make sure that the iMac has been prepared for sale or give according to this document from Apple: what to do before you sell or give away your Mac - Apple Support.  You may need to your son ID and password to disable iTunes, iCloud, etc. in order to get him to help you through these steps.

  • El Capitan: Compatibility with the mid 2007 iMac

    Apple support tell me my mid 2007 iMac Intel is compatible with El Capitan. My iMac only has 2 GB of RAM (spec that had been originally shipped) and is running Snow Leopard, which requires only 1 GB or RAM to run. Specification technical El Capitan indicate that 2 GB of RAM to run.

    I'm afraid that if I install El Capitan, my iMac mudra to stop.

    I was wondering if anyone of you has experience with the installation of OSX El Capitan on a mid-2007, Intel iMac?

    Thank you very much!

    Based on the specifications provided, I guess it's your Mac:

    http://www.EveryMac.com/systems/Apple/iMac/specs/iMac-Core-2-extreme-2.8-24-inch - aluminium - specs.html

    2 GB of RAM is the absolute minimum necessary for the performance of El Capitan (However, most of the people here will tell you that 4 GB should be realistic, low).  According to what you do with your Mac, it will not necessarily work well.  From the link above, you will notice that your Mac can take up to 6 GB of RAM.  If you want to update, I would like to, highly recommend, that you get more memory.

  • The installation of El Capitan on new computer

    I installed El Capitan on my MacBook Pro last December. "But now I have a new MacBook Pro, that came with v10.10.5 of Yosemite). I can't redownload El Capitan. When I go to the App Store, it shows that I have (my account even) has already downloaded El Capitan. How can I download and install El Capitan on my new computer, under my account even?

    The main reason that I have to download El Capitan, is that my library, which I transferred from my old computer has been upgraded to a new version under El Capitan. And now I can't access my photo library unless I use El Capitan.

    In App store, click the buy, click on the download button to [EDIT] right to ' OS X El Capitan "."
