• Upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite

  I have a fairly new MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I was going to upgrade to El Capitan, but now he me Sierra offers instead. I don't want to do because of the risk that £500 dollars worth of software (File Maker Pro 11, final draft 8, Office 2011) will stop working.

  My office is running El Cap, and applications above all work fine.

  In my view, there is the ease of upgrade to El Cap, but he seems to be reserved for people running older versions. Do you think I can upgrade using this path? Or everything will go horribly wrong?

  Thank you

• Import old box Inbox and sent in the Mail after upgrading to El Capitan

  There has been much discussion about the e-mails lost after upgrade to El Capitan, but I have not seen this particular question.

  I discovered that, like many others, all emails in my Inbox and in my sent folder to leave before the upgrade had disappeared. The issue has not affected the emails I had moved to folders.

  Open the mail library file (in the Finder, hold down the Option key selecting go to the top menu and the library appears), I discovered that Mail was created a new file V2, account, while the old one, V3 (created in 2013), sitting next to her. Go by the size files, it seems fair to assume that the V3 still contains my "lost" emails

  So, I don't know if the bug is that a new V2 should have been created at all, or is it a sync error, or something else. What I know is that when I try to import the items from Inbox and sent from the V3, I get an error message telling me that no mbox valid was found. This is patently false.

  I also tried to copy on an external hard drive, gave them a different name, but even then I couldn't import them. Reconstruction did not help either.

  Anyone able to help? I have a few crucial e-mails out there, and I try to avoid the upgrade...

  Long discussion about it here: is El Capitan compatible with Adobe CS5? Apple Support communities

  The problem is that once Adobe removes in a CS, but is no longer being updated for the future versions of OSX. This means that if something new in El Capitan causes CS5.5 does not operate normally, you are out of luck.

  10.9 is good that at least you can run Chrome or Acrobat DC where 10.9 is the minimum. It is always the test.

  Do not go to 10.11 if that's your only Mac and that you make your living with her.

• I started the download of el capitan and did not have enough space for the upgrade - I released space, but now the upgrade is blocked for download

  I'm on 10.10.5 and try to upgrade to el capitan via the App Store.  I don't have enough space at the beginning and upgrade wouldn't start - I got error message says not enough disk space.  Once I released space, download hangs and will not end.  I have restarted the download several times and have rebooted as well.

  Hello

  Take a look in your Applications folder to install Mac OS X El Capitan.app. If you find move him to the trash, then empty/remove it. Another thing you could try is to go to Launchpad and look an article with the 'X' Mac OS X logo on it,

  Click and hold on it until it wiggles, and then click the little 'x' and then delete.

  Restart the Mac, relaunch the App Store and see if you can download now El Capitan.

  Another thing you can do, when the download is complete and what is important before you begin the installation process, do a copy to install Mac OS X El Capitan.app and keep them safe, to an external drive or USB key, the original in the Application folder item is deleted once the installation is complete. It is snack and practice have this spare copy so that you can install on other Macs if you want you will need to re - install the system should anything go wrong in the future.

  And always, always make a backup before making major changes to your system.

• tried to upgrade to el capitan of lion but I get this message: INSTALL_ERROR_DISTRIBUTION_SIGNED_BY_APPLE

  I have an IMAC mid-2010 and tried to upgrade to el capitan of lion [software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)] but I get this message: INSTALL_ERROR_DISTRIBUTION_SIGNED_BY_APPLE

  How to solve this.  I think that's what keeps me to sync my iPhone 6 and IPAD PRO I got the year last, and 1 month ago, respectively, with the iMac. I tried to download iTunes separately, but it does not work. Memory is 1 t, processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3. Memory DDR3 at 1333 MHz 12 GB

  Make sure your time and date is correct.  If this is not the case, correct it and try the install again.

  Remove anti-virus, anti-malware or module security or performance or system cleanup tools according to the instructions of the respective providers.   Try again.

  If this fails, restart the iMac by Safe Mode like which clears and regenerates the system puts in cache, among other details, reboot normally and see if the Mac App Store download starts working.   Then re-download the installer of El Capitan, and then try again.

  If all else fails, please after the release of Etrecheck as a starting point - which will indicate the specific hardware configuration nd can show if there is something wonky openly what is installed.

• I want to download El Capitan, but KEEP the installer

  I want to download El Capitan, but KEEP the installation program.

  I have a partitioned hard drive, (I need to keep old versions of Mac OS because I do video editing).

  How can I keep El Capitan Installer?   As many know, in the world of the downloaded software, installers can be removed or disappear. I like to keep a copy of things as much as possible.

  Thank you.

  As soon as the download is complete, it will jump to the top of the installation start screen. Press command-Q to stop the installation. Open the Applications folder and copy the El Capitan installer in any drive you want as a backup.
