IMac 24 beginning 2008 compatibility El Capitan

Hello

Since I installed El Capitan on my 24 IMac early 2008, even though I have enough space and 2G of memory, computer stops responding and I have to restart twice or three times a day. I've already checked in an Apple Store and I know that my computer is OK.

What should I do?

Should I reinstall Yosemite?

IMac 24 beginning 2008 is clearly not compatible with El Capitan because I didn't hurt before you install it.

Thanks for your help.

The problem is more than likely that you have 2 GB of ram. The last OS X to run good in only 2 GB has been Snow Leopard. Your iMac can use up to 6 GB of ram and if you stay with El Cap, you will spend. If you are running any cleaning or the AV software that also negatively affect performance.

  • Should I update my iMac in early 2008 to El Capitan?

    My Mac is older, fairly new sentence for El Capitan, but it still works very well (running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5).)  It has a processor Core Duo clocked at 2.66 GHz and 4 GB of RAM.  I upgraded the HD to a 2 to Hitachi sister a few years ago and I have a 2 TB Seagate external hard drive for my time Machine.  I can't afford to upgrade my Mac any more right now, but I wonder if I should upgrade to El Capitan.  I would appreciate any advice someone who has a similar system specs & knowing El Capitan.

    With all Mac models, 4 GB of RAM is not really enough for El Capitan. At least not if you use to much more than emails and surf the web.

    Our Mac Pro 2008 has 14 GB of RAM installed. El Capitan works smoothly and quickly on it.

    I have a 2008 iMac - how do Yosemite or El Capitan.  Sierra will not install (I want either the hack).

    I never 'got' Yosemite or El Capitan when they were available on the Mac App Store.

    The only way I've found is to get it on Apple's developer site, but I'm not a developer.  Apple how to flip the switch to the Mac App Store so that it shows up on top of my list?

    On this iMac, you should still be able to download El Capitan:

    You can re - install Mail by reinstalling OS X:

  • IMac 24 end 2008

    Hi, I have a late 2008 iMac 24, having heard that I can increase the ram to 4 GB per slot, only by hearsay, but spin the that el Capitan (very slow) is that possible? THX.

    Your iMac 2008 only supports up to 6 GB of RAM; as he had two memory slots, it supports a 4 GB and 2 GB RAM module. You can buy more RAM for your Mac to OWC or Crucial (this does not mean that the RAM from other sources will not work).

  • How to install Office for Mac 2008 on El Capitan 10.11.3?

    I'd love to help on how to install my Office for Mac 2008 software on my new MacBook Pro. When I run the installation I get the error message "Setup could not install the software because there's no software to install" who says a guy from Microsoft's Support could be because I was running the disc via remote disc from my old MacBook. He added that Yosemite is the latest OS to support the 2008 Microsoft software. Does anyone know if there is a way around this?

    You may be able to create an iso from the installation disc, and then move the iso to your MacBook Pro and run it from there. RoaringApps.com said it should work in El Capitan without problem but I still do not believe their results.

  • Deciphering AHT Feedback (Mac Pro 3.1 beginning 2008)

    Did have a few problems with a Mac Pro (early 2008) recently acquired Quad Core 2.8 gHz, 32 GB RAM, run a new installation of El Capitan on a Samsung Evo 850 500 GB SSD - occasional stops, then crashes, more some unusual problems:

    • will not read an external WD hard drive specific, for example, that works on all other Mac I have connected to
    • I have 32 GB of RAM (certainly not good chartered 800 mhz or 'Apple'), which only 16 GB shows when all are plugged, but 24 GB if I remove two chips.

    Everything I've read point to potential problems of RAM so I installed and executed the AHT. I can post more detailed information, if necessary, but for now the only feedback that I receive (through the different configurations in an attempt to lock any specific defective DIMM or riser slots/cards) is as follows:

    NO TROUBLE FINDING

    MESSAGE: DIMM4/DIMM RISER A, RISER DIMM3/DIMM'S

    What is - this "MESSAGE:" code/designation implies? Any other suggestions would be amazing.

    Power On Self Test.

    On the Mac, it runs with that material error correction used aggressively. ANY errors, correctable, during these seconds and the slot is declared empty and will not be used by the system. Unless she has an excuse, that DIMM is BAD.
