    No one knows why there are questions, but it is not only with El Capitan, you will need to uninstall, run the cleaning Adobe tool, and then reinstall. It has been the case with other updates of the system as well.

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

  • Is it possible to recover dashboard stickies following El Capitan update?

    Hello, I wonder if it is possible to restore dashboard stickies after my update to Yosemite for OS X El Capitan 10.11.3. I forgot the El Capitan update for several months I was doing that I had everything backed up at a certain place and I naively ignored the fact that the dashboard has been eliminated in the update to El Capitan. I have a Time Machine backup of Mac on Yosemite as recent as the night before my update. Is it possible to recover these Stickies, even just long enough for me to transfer them to another file type? I have a summer 2014 Macbook Pro. Thanks a lot for any help in advance!

    I fixed this by going into settings > Mission Control > Dashboard ('off' to 'in space")

    I would be very happy if someone can help me in installing this update.

    Thank you.

    I just got a quick reply saying 'You are not allowed to create or update this content'. What should I do to solve the problem? Thank you.

    You are using a newer version of El Capitan that the updater contains and so cannot install it.

  • After the installation of OS10.11.1 El Capitan on my Mac, Photoshop CS4 won't open.

    After the installation of OS10.11.1 El Capitan on my Mac, Photoshop CS4 would not open. Instead, my Finder leaves. So, as requested by the operating system, I downloaded the Java Update and installed. Still, Photoshop would not open. I uninstalled via the uninstall folder and then reinstalled Photoshop more some other extensions that have been verified. Installation was "successful", but it start always from the docking station or on the folder icon. I then downloaded an Adobe CS4 update, but it still not open. My other CS4 apps open very well. What's wrong?

    Please follow the steps described in the article: conversion of error type of unit. AppleScript | Photoshop | Mac OS X 10.6
