I've recently updated to El captain and now my Mac (which is quite old) is slow dreafully. Take everything 10 times more than before. Any tips on speeding to the top?
I have two Macs running El Capitan, which is old enough (2008 iMac) and am not at all have this problem. If you look through these forums, you will find that many of the slow running issues have been resolved simply by getting rid of the 3rd party anti virus and Mac apps from cleaning. Here, the consensus seems to be that these applications are useless on Macs and slow them down at best and are downright harmful in the worst case. I have none of them on any of my Macs and you have never run in the problems of virus or malware from OS X launch back to 1999. My advice would be to uninstall everything these programs from your Mac and see if that helps. And don't bother to re install later. You do not claim them, particularly the so-called cleaners. OS X does this work by himself.

My MacBook froze during the installation of the update at El Capitan and now I am unable to connect to any except the screen of the guest user. There was a message of panic, and somewhere in there, he said no set of OS. I tried to start without danger, it does not work either.
This general situation may be similar to what is mentioned in this sequel to thread of the CSA
and if the remedy is to use instructions; detailed and I hope they are correct...

Or you can try and see on the repair of the system and then if your disk utility can
See the Macintosh HD, as a boot volume, you could restart from OS X Recovery to
the Mac system, to see if this solves the problem. There may be more than one cause.
You could try and boot into OS X Recovery, utilities out there, and other options are available.
• OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support
This example uses a special partition on the hard drive of recovery which is not in the

items may also be at risk. You must have and maintain backups of your duplicate content

Don't know what to say; you could see visiting an Apple store with genius if
There is an official store. Usually for best time planning you would contact them for an appointment.
- Make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store Genius Bar
- Find an Apple authorized service provider
- https://locate.Apple.com/country - Apple - find places - selector of country (if outside the U.S.)
Or if there is no official retail Apple Store with genius, the following suggestion would be to contact
a service provider authorized Apple, an independent specialist who is qualified in the repair of Apple.
In any case...
Good luck & happy computing!

I just ran the last update for my iPad and now it just continuously reboots to the black screen with the Apple Logo. I left plugged in all night and still no change. Hard restarting does not help, neither do not connect the unit to aMacBookPro. When I do this, iTunes complains that it can not connect because the iPad 'expires '. Now it is disconnected, but I can't turn it off. Even close the lid will not extinguish it. Any ideas?
Try the following. It seems yo may have to let the battery drain is completely:
- iOS: do not respond or does not light
-Also try DFU mode recovery mode post-test
How to put iPod touch / iPhone in DFU "Karthik doodles."
-If failed and that you cannot completely turn completely the iOS device, leave the battery to drain completely. After loading a hour repeat the foregoing.
-Try a different cable
-Try on another computer
S ' there is still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at an Apple store Genius Bar is in order.
