• Upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite

  I have a fairly new MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I was going to upgrade to El Capitan, but now he me Sierra offers instead. I don't want to do because of the risk that £500 dollars worth of software (File Maker Pro 11, final draft 8, Office 2011) will stop working.

  My office is running El Cap, and applications above all work fine.

  In my view, there is the ease of upgrade to El Cap, but he seems to be reserved for people running older versions. Do you think I can upgrade using this path? Or everything will go horribly wrong?

  Thank you

• Can I switch to El Capitan in world of Sierra de MacOS post?

  I have a mac mini (late 2009) 3.1 that I used as my HTPC, and I never took worth upgrading past 10.7.5. with the advent of the new Apple TV now just collecting dust, so I'm out for my kids to use because our old Mac (iMac 2006) kid gets really long in the tooth.

  I remember the guests (which I unfortunately ignored) to upgrade to El Capitan, but now when I search the AppStore, I see who is available to me is Sierra. I understand my habit of Core 2 2.26 little old run Sierra. How to move from a more modern operating system?

  Thank you.

• MacBook restart at El Capitan

  This MacBook, in early 2009, 13 "/ 4 GB of RAM has been happy enough with Yosemite 10.10.2,"limited but I was getting Apple-friendly messages to update to El Capitan, so I downloaded. "  Then I clicked update and it is apparently installed and said it would be shut down and restart.

  Restarting seems to start, as the Apple logo and progress bar was there... for about a fifth of the way, and then it became black - closing apparently.  Yet once, I tried several times, with the same result power. I also tried the C key, for what it is worth now.

  How can I get my MacBook in operation?  Thank you!

• MacBook Pro 2009 with slow SSD on El Capitan

  Hi all

  I recently put on the upgrade to El Capitan of Mountain Lion, that my Macbook Pro 2009, updated with a crucial v4 SSD and 8 GB ram, was very happy.

  Had a very difficult installation that hung a few times, but finally got it set up after resetting the PRAM.

  Since he has been very, very slow - beachball right turns and towers - opening an application are a 5 minute job. Printing takes 10. The SATAII connection shows as being to 3 GB, so it should be good. Any other El Capitan on a 2009 MBP running seem happy with it. I activated the trim, it made no difference.

  I was not able to find someone else in line with the same config or problem, so grateful if someone has experience - I was wondering if it is worth getting an SSD different, or even the original HDD back in?

  Thank you!

• Can I go back to the old operating system after upgrade to el Capitan?

  I have a MacBook Air and recently updated (?) for Os X El Capitan. Now, I can't use my Photoshop elements 11. Is there a solution? If this is not the case, can I go back to what I had before El Capitan?

  Hi, grumpy :)

  This isn't what you want to read but it is a recommended to ensure that applications you must have will launch on an updated operating system.

  I do not use the product, but you may need to upgrade your Photo shop elements. Version 14 seems to work on Capitan:

  https://www.Adobe.com/products/Photoshop-elements/buying-guide.html

  You must decide if it's worth the cost of upgrade or use an older OS X, considering that a new OS X (Sierra) will be released at some point.

  Someone else here can advise you how to restore if that's your decision.

• MacBook Pro 15 "Core 2 Duo (early 2008) - El Capitan Performance

  Guys, so my computer was stolen a few days ago and I need to buy a replacement.
  Unfortunately all this has happened in the worst time for me, so I have to buy something extremely budget.

  I found a Unicorn. Pre-unibody MB Pro 15 "Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of ram and GeForce 8600 in a State absolutely perfect (with literally nine original battery) for next to nothing. (alias a want of the friend of the family to sell it to me for a hundred dollars.)
  I have a spare SSD, the plan is to use it and maybe, after a few tests, replace a chip memory 2GB 4 GB.

  But let's assume that for now he stays with 4 gigs.

  I need it mainly for use at home or in the office, I don't need a benefit 'video editing '.

  Any of you still use this kind of mac and could tell me how it behaves with El Capitan?
  Is a normal use, every day a huge pain?

  Thanks in advance,

  see you soon,

  Adam

  I run it on a late 2008 2.53 Ghz core 2 duo and it isn't bad (althouhg I have a new retina 15 "machine to come next week, but it's just because it was time to buy something new after 8 years and the 15" material current is good for me - I really worry about the next update will go to the MacBook style keyboard which is clearly less IMO to the current keyboard Pro retina).

  My end 2008 15 "has 8 GB of RAM but (OWC 4 GB SODIMM) .and I replaced the 320 GB 5400 RPM drive with an OWC 480 GB SSD drive. But even before the update level HD, the most notable decline in performance was the start. Once the system is up and running basics like Pages, Numbers, and others were very good, and I use Office 2016 and Endnote X 7 on mine as well without problem (work Office 365 uses, so I use one of my 5 installed on my Mac).  You will notice that the programs are a little slow to start, but once upward, they work fine as long as you're not too heavy on any multitasking of programs.

  But I do not think that battery will be worth squat. There is no such thing as a "brand new original" of 8-9 years lithium battery. They begin at the point where they are assembled in decomposition and generation of the lithium battery will die in 3-4 years if used or rest.  There is no way that a battery lithium 8 years and more is going to be interesting to Courland longer. OWC sell replacements well and I have used several of their Epsonexpression batteries in my end of 2008 to replace machine as my batteries have worn for the duration of my machine.

  I'd say it should be functional. OWC lists a 6 GB RAM upgrade for the machine too, and it would certainly help if you can afford it, stick an SSD in it would stimulate it too much. These two upgrades would be ~ $300 if, but if it gives you a working machine until you are ready for a current model, it might be useful.

  As an alternative, have you looked at online Apple store refurb?  They have a few refurb MacBook Air was ~ $ 800. Just a thought, if your budget allows.

• 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.

• Step by step 10.6.8 to El Capitan, most hardware implemented at level?

  Have a mid-2010 7.1 Macbook 13 "- want to upgrade RAM from 2 GB to 8 GB (I read that it is possible although it is above the official max)." Also want to swap the 250 GB HARD drive for an SSD 500 GB and upgrading to Snow Leopard to El Capitan.

  Steps (please notify if I'm right, or if there are better ways):

  1 buy the RAM and SSD and include a USB box in order

  2. attach the SSD on computer with USB, format the drive properly (? what?)  and clone an original disc of SSD using Carbon Copy Cloner (?)

  3 upgrade SSD to El Capitan and ensure that all works/boots etc.

  4. replace in the RAM

  5 Exchange disks; keep the old drive as a bootable backup

  Is this fair? The order seems good? What about the format of form and can I clone choice?

  I wanted to create a bootable on USB installation drive, I want to upgrade to another laptop soon - but we all miss 10.6.8 and I can't find instructions anywhere to do this. All tips (orders of Terminal and DiskMaker etc.) seems to start at 10.7 +... 10.6 is not supported.

  If anyone could advise how to do this, it would be much appreciated.

  Thank you very much!

  https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-6271 has much more important as to considerations if it is worth.  Backup your data, make sure that your applications and drivers are all compatible, then consider if the rest is interesting.  SSD while nice is not essential to El Capitan.  Software compatibility is.    Format with the GUID Apple HFS + formatting. https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-3003 covers the formatting more in detail

• No problem of reclassification of Maverick in El Capitan

  Must what members experience reclassification of Mavericks at El Capitan? It is worth?

  Reclassification of Mavericks in El Capitan, this isn't a problem. Whether or not it is worth depends on what you like and if you need the features provided by El Capitan, which is not provided by the Mavericks.

  However, make sure that your applications are compatible. At least 4Gig memory. If you intend to continue using iPhoto, make sure that you update to the latest version 9.6.1.

  IF you have another disk, you might install on test and try it first. It is perhaps the best way to go.

  Anyway, have a good Time Machine backup in case you want to restore.

• Epson WF-7520 does not print to tray 2 after El Capitan clean install?

  I don't know what happened, but since I did a clean install of El Capitan, my WF-7520 Epson no longer works correctly. The ONLY way it prints on the 13 x 19 (tray 2) is when I remove it and place it in the top housing (slot 1). In addition, all my photo quality controls are now gone, so high quality prints are no longer possible. I tried to remove and reinstall the driver, but that has no effect.

  For what it's worth, I print using Adobe Acrobat DC of more Creative cloud products. Anyone know what can be wrong?

  Rest the printing system...

  Open System Preferences > Printers and Scanners and select the print tab.

  Right click or control your printer on the left, then click on: reset printing system...

  
  

  Then try to print again.

  If that does not help, download and install fresh drivers from the Epson website > http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?infoType=Downloads & oid = 183585

  A new installation can sometimes corrupt the software/drivers and need a new facility.

• El Capitan - is it useful?

  I have a very bad dsl connection, it begins as 7 hours download El Capitan, then increases from there. It is worth for me to spend a day is upgrade to Yosemite?

  You call Apple store and ask them if you can use their internet connection to download.

  They even have a copy of the downloaded installer already, and they may just allow you to copy that would be even faster.

• Installation of El Capitan on default of new SSD

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012), install a new SSD and run the operating system on it.

  Here's what I did:

  I bought the 'OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6 G' with a cube of data. I removed my optical drive; installed my old HD (running the operating system) in the data Doubler; and install the new SSD in the main Bay.

  I downloaded El Capitan of the 'App Store' and then used «DiskMaker X 5 "to make a bootable usb key.»

  Restarted my computer laptop and booted from USB and the installation of El Capitan. From there, I formatted the new SSD (Mac OS extended (journaled) with a single partition GUID).

  After running down the clock of the installation (about 5 minutes), I get the message "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try to rerun this application".

  Without having to restart the mac, if I try to install the OS again, I'm not able to find the SSD.

  If I restart the laptop and start in the OS on my old HD, I'll find the SSD here on my desk. (Sometimes it take a couple of reboots for my Mac see the SSD).

  And then I try all this again, with the same results.

  I tried other things:

  Reset the PRAM.

  Manual clock setting in the Terminal since the installation of punt. (Although it was not bad in the first place)

  I also tried to set the clock to AST (Arabia standard time) as I live in Saudi Arabia.

  Other than my SSD is defective, any ideas on what can I do to solve this problem?

  Hi Blackcells:

  I guess that you entered in "System Preferences" > "Startup disk" and set to your original drive data Doubler.

  

  Try to remove your new SSD and put it in an external case OWC external box or using a USB to SATA adapter SATA USB adapter and connect it to your MBP via USB.

  Open disk utility > delete and format the SSD for Mac OS extended (journaled) and a GUID partition.

  Then, use a third party application like Carbon Copy Cloner Carbon Copy Cloner (not free, but worth the price) or Super Duper to copy all data from the HARD drive internal as well as the recovery partition.

  The clone will be an exact copy of your hard drive and it will be bootable.

  Start the MBP with the OPTION key and select the new SSD.

  If it starts the MBP, proceed to the physical interchange of disks.
