I've updated to Snow Leopard for OSX El Capitan as the info said that my Mac 2009 could be updated.  However, I had a lot of problems and it is extremely slow, among other things.  Should I have upgraded Yosemite or something else first?

I have a 2009 IMac and had Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and IPhotos, latest version.  While he was trying to use something new, I wanted to download (can't remember what now) my system said that I had to switch to OSX El Capitan, so I did.  Since then, I've had nothing but problems, the computer is very slow to open anything and Photos is terrible - I can't do anything with it and I hate it!  I much preferred IPhotos.  My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan?  If so, what can I do now to remedy the situation?  Thanks for any advice.

My question is, should I have upgraded to Yosemite or something else before going directly to El Capitan?

No, but you must have insured all the software you have installed, changes to the system, in particular, was compatible with El Capitan.

You can use iPhoto, but you should get used to the Photos like iPhoto will be is more up-to-date and may stop working at some point.

If you run this program, it will show what is installed. After the output here and we might be able to offer advice on what's causing your problems

  • Windows Explorer crashes or resets whenever open the system properties, among other things

    So, recently, I had one set of questions arise in windows seven, apparently at random. It started to happen when I disabled it Internet Explorer (which I had reactivated it after that I saw coming problems) and uninstall my old antivirus (AVG Free). I also installed Windows updates not too long ago (after a long period of leave it turned off). I think it was about a week and a half ago or not.

    First of all, I noticed that the Windows Photo Viewer launches (even with the live Gallery, have not really tried the other windows live applications). After an investigation, I noticed that the dllhost.exe process would start up when I would try to launch the photo viewer, but would end not too long after. Apparently, I Live Gallery to run at startup (with anything other than HP related; it is as well as the laptop I use), but it doesn't seem to work in this case.
    Second, most of my programs installed (Mumble, the pitcher in the League of legends, steam, Skype, among other things) suddenly had to be run in compatibility mode for Windows 7... in Windows 7. Otherwise they don't start/stop working and other. Obviously, this is not good. I have not explored the question too, it's all I have on it.
    Third, whenever I open the System Properties Windows, either through my computer > properties or control panel, windows Explorer stops and restarts. Only this single window.
    I tried running sfc, who gave no results after a reboot (without reset my start ORB custom). A second performance immediately after the said nothing was wrong. I ran windows in safe mode, which seemed to have solved the issue of windows Explorer (not too sure Photo Gallery, because it cannot be run in safe mode). Since nothing seemed wrong then, I tried to run in clean boot mode, brings the issue of Explorer back, but solved the problem of Windors and Live Gallery Photo Viewer. I tried many restored system (a restore before windows update has solved my problem of Photo Viewer, but this restore point has long been lost at the time where this all started to happen all together). On a side note, I got a voip program, Mumble, to run correctly after all this happens, if I reinstall, repair or run the program in compatibility mode again.
    I spent my time recently trying to understand the issue of windows Explorer, and everything that I had going on right now is that it might have something to do with ntdll.dll
    . Here is the report of the accident event viewer and reboot:

I have to take this laptop for repairs of the hinge, and I don't want this issue ballooning the cost of the repairs on my laptop should I take on someone to fix for me.
    I ran my new (MSE) antivirus and MalwareBytes to check for problems, and they found some (if I remember correctly, it was potential threats in internet explorer, which I use never, incidentally). After the removal of these questions, everything seems to stay the same.
    A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

    Looking at the dump with WinDbg (Windows Debugger) file the module that seems to be the cause of the accident is the atiumd64.dll which is a component of the AMD graphics driver:

    All your panels are found under your menu of the window at the top of your screen. Looks like you are looking for the properties panel for the forms? Click on a layer and shape your shape tool, and you should see it. Everything is context - sensitive which means your options at the top of the screen bar will show you the options for only the currently selected tool.

    Okay - just realized that the last screen was asking just for a 'title' to my question!

    I have Adobe Acrobat standard XI, but at trial as the "compare documents" would include Pro. I tried to download a free trial of Pro, but the installer said that "it has detected a more complete version of the product" - probably my standard version? - and stopped installation. It's not clear to me, what are my options for upgrading to Pro, or selectively to have bought the plugin "compare documents" (if possible). I use which is probably a business version of acrobat (i.e. my employer has, not me)-so do not know what catchy limits. I think it's a simple question, but he would appreciate advice.

    -You can not install Acrobat Pro along with Acrobat Standard. You will need to remove Standard in order to install Pro.

    -You (probably) cannot upgrade your license if it is a part of a business license. The license all will need to be upgraded.

    -It is not possible to install only the "Compare document" function as a kind of add-on for Acrobat Standard.

  • I have an older Airport (A1264?) Among other things, it connect to my iMac two year with Apple TV (last generation).  Once the last airport I purchase any of faster connection speed?

    I have a older Airport (a 1264?) And two years iMac.  Apple TV connection is very slow. If I buy the last Airport express that would be faster or speed is limited by both in the present and not the Wi - Fi?

    Eric

    The 1st Gen N express is the only band... but maybe 2.4 ghz or 5 GHz.

    The news is simultaneous dual-band. This can end up significantly faster if you are in the range of 5 GHz range... Otherwise, it's exactly the same thing.

    To find out if you are at the beach... hope it works same room or next if you're lucky... also no.

    Or buy one and see... the test method is often the only way that produces meaningful results.

    ·         Have you checked the problem in safe mode?

    Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Start the computer in safe mode and see if the problem persists. Report of the results.

    Method 2: Log on to the computer manufacturer site and check if you have the latest drivers installed.

  • restoration of time Snow Leopard machine on el capitan

    My iMac is toast. I have a MacBook Pro, dated but supported for El Capitan. I want to spend all my El Capitan Time machine, including the operating system for the MacBook Pro. Instructions to do this involve booting from a recovery partition, or an equivalent of the internet. But the Snow Leopard operating system does not support these approaches. How to boot in order to restore?

    I discovered recently, after trying to start my El Capitan Macbook Pro to an ext hdd than Snow Leopard snow leopard anything or not can not read the disc El Capitan. However, the reverse is ok.

    The best thing I think would be to reinstall the time Machine back to El Capitan, then do a manual brake and fall back to the top of your data to another drive before installation installation of Snow Leopard then drag and drop your files backed up to your new snow Leopard.

    It is because (if I remember correctly), time machine back ups are difficult to navigate. I always use Carbon Copy Cloner as it makes a bootable copy of my drive and you can easily access your files if you plug it in as an ext hdd.

    You only really need to back up your home folder and make sure that your keychain files and the browser are stored, and then reinstall all your applications. Maybe a little harder if you have a lot of paid applications.

    That's what I'd do, but maybe someone else has a better idea.

  • You can import users of snow leopard server in el capitan Server

    I have a client with a server on Snow Leopard (10.6).  It has never been updated so far.  Can I export the users and groups in Workgroup Manager, and then import them directly into the server of El Capitan?

    Yes.  You can do it three ways.  The first is to export the flat files by using the export of managers of the working group.  You can do this for users and groups.  The point here is that you don't have passwords.  Flat files will not flat files password export as plain text.  However, export of Workgroup Manager can give you more data you want to import into a new system as the MCX is discouraged.  You can use dsexport instead.  Using dsexport allows you to exclude attributes that you cannot be postponed.  The third way is to export an archive Open Directory.  An archive is a DMG file password which will include passwords, but also all of the stuff that you can't move protected.  In Admin Server on the 10.6 machine go to the archive and export an archive of OD.  This method may not be perfect, but if you must keep the UID and GUID values such as password, an archive of the AO is the best method.  But, be prepared for oddities as there is a lot of distance between 10.6 and 10.11.
