El Capitan Review

Similar Questions

• Why all the bad reviews of el capitan?

  Why all this negative opinions on El Capitan?

  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 specifications. The idea that the updates/updates cause problems is probably derived from discussions that see you here. ASC is like an emergency room for people to have problems, especially the sick, those who come here. Hundreds of thousands of people pass without difficulty, never here and go merrily on their way. In addition to the improved features, updates/improvements important security fixes.

  El Capitan is buggy as a swamp in this thing (mid-2011 Mac Mini). Got it works just agree with 10.11.6. Are there beta experience with Sierra that suggests that it will be better? If so, should I uninstall first OS - X?

  If they do they can not answer you due to the NDA, they signed to join the beta team.

• Nervous about the upgrade to El Capitan!

  Need input, OS X 10.9.5, computer works fine most of the time. Should I upgrade or leave it alone. Don't want to screw up my computer. Read the "reviews" on the App Store and I hesitate. Ned first hand experience.

  Thanks in advance.

  Before any update always create a backup. How to create a clone of startup

  This way you can always fall back if necessary.

  I have not had any problems upgrading to El Capitan.

• Slow Internet - mid-2010 MacBook Pro w / El Capitan

  So I have a MacBook Pro 15 mid-2010 "running OS X El Capitan." A week ago my internet started running very slowly, until the point where it's impacting on my ability to get the work done. The speed seems to be the same if I'm at work or at home and if I connect via WIFI or connect directly to the router.

  I was reviewed in the nets of support without success. I have reset the PRAM and the SMC which seems to help briefly, but then the internet speed slowed considerably again in 30 minutes approximately.

  In addition, do not know if it of related or not, but I opened the Terminal today to try a solution suggested and noticed that my root directory is: ' melissas-iphone: ~ scottnewman$ ". I have absolutely no idea how melissas-iphone bears on my MacBook, and nobody in my family or connected to my Apple ID named melissa.

  The help of this community would be much appreciated!

  Hello scnewman!

  I would definitely internet speeds when I'm on my Mac to act normally, too.  It makes it that much better.  Two resets are good to try.  If you haven't done so already, you can run the Apple Hardware Test from the MacBook Pro to rule out other problems: using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support

  After this, you can create a new user to check if it's a large system or a specific user: How to test one question in another account on your Mac - Apple Support

  Then goes into safe mode, too: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support

  Response with no result and we can take it from there.

  See you soon!

• Should I switch to OSX El Capitan?

  Hello

  I am not questioning if I should move to El Capitan or not. I read the reviews on the Mac App Store, and most seem to say it is a great improvement to the Yosemite, only I'm not either on Yosemite. Currently, I am on OSX 10.9.5, the computer is slow to open applications and at startup. This is my computer information:

  

  I'm afraid El Capitan will just make my computer run slower and kill it, or it will be a great improvement.

  So I decided to ask the people who know these things.

  Pass or not?

  Thank you.

  My MBP has similar specs.

  I upgraded the RAM 8 GB.

  I have OS X El Capitan 10.11.5 installed on it.

  I have not experienced any problem so far.

• El Capitan LDAP authentication

  I am trying to setup on El Capitan Macbook LDAP authentication. I've prepared OpenLDAP server on the Linux host with the necessary users. This LDAP was added in the directory as LDAPv3 with set of mappings of RFC2307 utility.

  Computer can connect to LDAP, because green circle seen in there:

  Users and groups > connection options > network server account > hostname of the LDAP server

  The problem is that the user is unable to connect by using LDAP. No matter what I go to the login prompt (including complete DN), I can see say journal entry:

  SecurityAgent: Unknown user 'adrian' connection attempt SPENT for the audit.

  How can I review more about connection?

  So that the own Apple Open Directory is based on OpenLDAP, it is not the same. Not only do you have conveniently add additional entries to OpenLDAP i.e. Apple own LDAP schema, but you also need to configure Kerberos on the Linux server as well as Open Directory uses a combination of LDAP and Kerberos for authentication.

  In my view, it is possible to do all the extra steps to get a Linux server to fully act as the equivalent of an Open Directory server, but that you're barely at half way.

  See - http://deepport.net/archives/setting-up-a-linux-server-for-os-x-clients/

  and - http://www.torriefamily.org/~torriem/wiki/computer_stuff:opendir_and_ldap

  These articles do not cover Kerberos, but perhaps of additional useful information for the previous link.

• Should I update to El Capitan Mountain Lion?

  Hello. I have a MacBookAir5 1: Intel Core i5: 1.7 GHz: memory: 4 GB. I'm still with OS 10.8.5 when bought around 2012. I don't know if I should go to El Capitan while available because I continue to read comments about upgrading slow their macs after the upgrade - and then the decision is regrettable. This has been holding back me. I want / need this MacBookAir to continue to work for me as long as possible - and safe (because I get more security for this OS updates). Advice from those who have experienced the same dilemma or can give advice on this subject are very much appreciated.

• Move to OSX 10.11 (El Capitan)?

  I am currently using OS X 10.10.5 and thought to install 10.11(El Capitan) on my new iMac, however, I have the following problems:

  1. on the app store comments 41 people gave 10.11.5 (the latest version?) a star which is the highest rating, 5 stars above.

  2. After reading various Articles and discussion forums, I checked if my current applications would work, (I used roaringapps.com) and guess what, 6 of them the spokesperson "no data", which could mean that they do not work. These are apps (incl. YNAB4, 13 elements of Adobe, Microsoft 2008, etc.) I use a lot. In addition, I read versions where the other apps have reported problems, including the apple applications...

  I have a time machine backup, but don't want the hassle of having to reinstall the entire system.

  I heard that Apple is about to launch a new version of El Capitan next month, so maybe this will solve these problems?

  A phrase sticks in my mind "" If there ' int broke, don't fix it ""

  It came because I bought today a software that needs OS X 10.11 and I had not spotted that in advance. I can't risk moving the OSX just to use this software, risks that result and the possible disruption are too great.

  I'm a big fan of Apple software and hardware which is the best, and I'm surprised they have launched this appearance prematurely, and judging by the comments of the people there are a lot of unhappy customers.

  Ignore these reviews. They are disgruntled users who often do not know what they are doing and won't ask for help. Ratings are from 1 to 5 for the highest and lowest.

  See the basic steps for the upgrade of OS X. Get an another spare drive and install on it. Then, you won't have to reinstall anything that it is should you care to use El Capitan. Alternatively, you can clone your existing on another hard drive and system using the Start Option.

  Please try not to listen to the complainants. Only the complainants and the magazine editors complain about OS X. There is less that you have been brought to think unhappy customers. Each new version of Mac OS X Gets the same type of complaints.

• Slow MacBook - new processors? El Capitan? Recycling?

  Hello

  My 2009 MacBook is running on Mavericks 10.9.5. Last year, he got slower and slower. Multitasking is more one of its strong! I talked to three different people in 3 different Apple stores over the past 18 months, and it's recommendations:

  (1) store UK: "buy and install more RAM. Apple can do it, but it's half the price to get it online and install it yourself' (not really something I want to do).

  (2) store UK: "Apple will install more RAM and it is risky to do it yourself. Best to run some things of diagnosis. Has shown how to do this on my MacBook - then took home and followed the instructions but it does not work properly. Error message. Waste of time.

  (3) store in New York: "Apple moved no more RAM, but there is a Manhattan Apple authorized repair shop down on X - Street which will be".

  Now to return to the United Kingdom. Not had time when in New York. And everyone (Apple staff) has a different opinion on whether or not I should go to El Capitan. It seems that Apple updates alone my MacBook seems to be able to review is now an upgrade to El Capitan (and iTunes). No security updates etc. showed in several months. (Meanwhile iTunes just gets worse! "It's really horrible, horrible software now!)

  So, my MacBook is simply too old and too tired? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

• Quick Time Player does not work in El Capitan

  Now Quick Time Player does not work properly.  When I click to use it, the only thing it allows me to do is 'click to drag', while he was recording a screen, buttons disappear and the only way I can stop the recording is to go to the menu screen and exit the Quick Time Player.  So annoying!

  It also is not allowing me to change.  When I try to edit my videos and then save it, it says that it cannot save the file.

  None of this makes no sense at all.

  You have a bad installation, I believe. QT works fine on my systems.

  El Capitan works very well. Sometimes, it is not for lack of the tennis racket. Review download and reinstall OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 Combo Update.

• Disable the notification of El Capitan?

  Hello. From time to time a notification on the Apple store appears on my screen (in front of what I'm working on) asking me to upgrade to OS X El Capitan. I am able to click on 'no' and get rid of him, but I would like to stop from popping up in total. Is there a way? (I've updated software configured to manually check.)

  This solution was published in Macintouch earlier:

  A couple of years, Apple issued a software update for 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion) and 10.8 (Cougar) systems, called "Mac App Store Update 1.0". It was a somewhat vague description on improving the App Store.

  One of its features is that it installs a "Bulletin Board" mechanism on the systems of 10.6 and 10.7, which periodically checks with Apple to see if there are messages to display. If there is no messages, they appear as an alert in the middle of the screen. 10.8 had added a similar mechanism, but it has been implemented differently and using Notification Center to display the message. The equivalent of 10.8 implementation is integrated to 10.9 and later systems.

  Apple initially used this to push reviews for the upgrade to the latest OS X (which was at that time the Mavericks), at a pace that seemed to be once a month. I was not very attentive to the model, but I have a few Macs still use older systems, and my gut feeling is that Apple made the rate of reviews appearing as the mechanism was introduced.

  The mechanism has nothing to do with the software update or App Store checks the updates, and there is no user setting to disable.

  On systems of 10.6 and 10.7, this should turn it off for the current user:

  launchctl unload w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.noticeboard.plist

  Who enter in Terminal.
