El Capitan of loading on iMac Leopard

I just discovered a late 2007 iMacI haven't used in years 20 ". I upgraded the RAM to 4 GB, but I also wanted to do update to El Capitan. I've been searching and everything I read says upgrade to El Capitan in Leopard, you first need to install Snow Leopard 10.6.8. My question is: if I have a USB bootable El Capitan and I plan to format the hard drive of the Mid 2007 iMac, can I skip the step of Snow Leopard and go straight to the El Capitan?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yes.

    TeamViewer is run, which should not be; or even installed unless you know why there is a reason to have remote access to your Mac software.

    P5sys is also a remote access software. Why it is installed and running?

    Any person with access to the Mac allowed someone to access remotely to your office? As hundreds of scam we sites that display a popup saying your computer is infected and call a toll number NOW!

    Based on that alone, I'd be concerned someone has installed a keylogger or other backdoor on your Mac, or at the very least, turned on items such as screen sharing, file sharing, remote access and remote management connection in system preferences. If one of them is on, it's not good and I consider the compromised computer.

    There are also a number of unnecessary plug-ins installed. I mean, who really watches or use movies in DivX format? He's also dead like ultraviolet. In addition to the two PDF Adobe Reader plug-ins installed, there is still a third, PDF Browser Plugin: 2.4.4. I would like to delete it.

    A lot of people like it (I don't know why), but all the Google apps are memory hogs and spend a lot of time collecting and sending data on your computer and use online back to Google. Would like to get rid of anything from Google, such as Chrome and Google Earth and the googletalkbrowserplugin: 5.41.3.0 plugin.

    So the biggest problem and the most concerning is the remote access software.

  • IMac 24 beginning 2008 compatibility El Capitan

    Hello

    Since I installed El Capitan on my 24 IMac early 2008, even though I have enough space and 2G of memory, computer stops responding and I have to restart twice or three times a day. I've already checked in an Apple Store and I know that my computer is OK.

    What should I do?

    Should I reinstall Yosemite?

    IMac 24 beginning 2008 is clearly not compatible with El Capitan because I didn't hurt before you install it.

    Thanks for your help.

    Christel

    The problem is more than likely that you have 2 GB of ram. The last OS X to run good in only 2 GB has been Snow Leopard. Your iMac can use up to 6 GB of ram and if you stay with El Cap, you will spend. If you are running any cleaning or the AV software that also negatively affect performance.

You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

  • 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:

    macOS Sierra: return to an earlier version of Mac OS

    See you soon!
