IMac, re - install El Capitan-wants to load on external drive

Late 2009 Imac. 16 RAM, HD 1 T.  El Capitan.

Use slow this AM-reboot.  This opens to the Apple screen and the cursor moves right - about 3/4 and slows down.  It stops at 90%.  After 30 minutes, it move at the end and then the Imac white switch.  ??

Did the same thing in safe mode.

Try the Options mode now.  Thought I'd reinstall El Captan.  I have attached external USB which is bootable.  Options want to install El Captan to emphasise the main HD.

Went BACK - and currently running disk utility... but he is stuck on the LOADING of DISK with the spinning wheel.  Been there a while.

I made a Clone carbon copy about 4 days ago and have also two BU of Time Machine.

I would like to charge El-Capitan-CLEAN.

Suggestions?

    I have two versions of Windows 7 on my iMac 24 "4 GB. One is a Bootcamp of Win 7 Professional installation.  One is a computer virtual from Windows 7 in VMWare Mac OSX. The two windows installs work well (the Bootcamp we're NOT accessible through VMWare right now).

  • Cannot install programs that have been loaded on external hard disk as says none found CD/DVD

    Original title: load the program from the hard drive (HD)

    I loaded all my programs of their CD/DVD on an external hard drive, I just copied the CD and everything is happy.  On some programs, it does not allow the installation of the HD and says: no disc found.  Can I redirect the programs to install from my external hard drive on my computers HD?

    This is based entirely on install of the how these programs were written.  In some cases they install from other than a DVD or CD, in others they do not.  Only those who have implemented these programs can respond.  If you have tried, and they do not work, you have two choices.  You can get the drive and install, or you can try to convince the company that puts it out of their programs to change.  Good luck with this last alternative.  :-)

    You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

    Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

  • Load an external SWF file without overwriting my container SWF (AS2) file

    Hello world

    I want to load an external SWF with AS2, but file without overwriting my container file. How can I achieve this? What is the correct code?

    Here is the code I use :

    loadMovieNum ("external.swf", 0);

    countdown = function() {}

    trace ("OK");

    }

    countdownIt = setInterval (countdown, 1000);


    It works well, but as I said, it overwrites my container SWF file. If I load into level 1, my container file works but not the one I try to load... .



    Can someone help me with this, please?

    Try to use the loadMovie method... meaning container.loadMovie.  See below for an explanation: Load external in another SWF SWF

    If the loaded file does not work when you load it, it is probably because you have references to _root in there who do not find the expected _root.  You must set the file loaded _lockroot property to be true.

  • load an external xml in an external .swf responsible

    Hello...

    I have a problem of hail (more than 100 hours of thinkwork so far!), that I can't solve:

    I want to load an external swf loaded with a dynamically loaded xml (load from my file config.xml) wire.

    < bgColor = "000000" bgHover menuItem = "Fred" fontColor = "cccccc" fontHover = "ffffff" >

    ./content/XML/home.XML < url2 > < / url2 > < loads the external xml file thet is necessary in the external swf loaded in the line of top - >

    < / menuItem >

    How can I get the external xml in the external swf file as a variable for the ActionScript in the loaded swf external (so I just put the path to the script in my external swf...).

    Can someone help me out here because I'm really stuck for now...

    Thanks in advance!

    Welcome William

    the path to the xml file is relative to the html file that includes your main swf.  No matter where the swf file loaded (except for the path that you will use in your loadMovie() method etc.).

  • Applications installed on an external drive closed

    I install most of my applications on an external drive of compartmentalized. (ie. not on disk internal C:\.)   I recently started having problems with applications that have been updated to a version/version 2011.  A single application for the preparation of tax returns, cannot print a full return, but it will print the individual & related forms within the tax return.  Another application cannot update a file of historical monetary values.  These seem to be the only problems.  All the features that I usually use in applications appear to be correct and compatible with the earlier versions.

    The answer I get from online support for these applications, is that they assume that the applications are installed on the C:\ drive and they solve the problems they are settled elsewhere.  I ran these applications for several years, installed on the external hard drive, no problem.  However when I run now even versions of previous years, I met these same problems.  Applications, freeze, crash, etc.  It can be concluded that it is linked to an update for Windows - rather than applications. Any suggestions

  • With the help of El Capitan iMac 27 "to install 10.5.8 on an external drive

    I have a 27 "iMac Intel i7 El Capitan running. I also have a still-good G5 that I use every day. I want to (re) install 10.5.8 on the G5, because he had a hardware failure and start the system has failed. I removed the hard drive to start the G5 chassis, put it in an external hard drive enclosure and that connected to the iMac. Disk utility indicates that the drive is OK. The idea was to make the external start G5 drive temporarily, install the OS then remove the external hard drive chassis and put it back into the chassis of the G5. USB external hard drive boot G5 drive is loaded right now is, I don't have the installation provided with my G5 discs.

    I have a 10.5.8 install image I d / Apple editing, but when I run it, he said "this software requires Mac OS X 10.5 to install.

    How can I convince the i7 iMac install 10.5.8 on this external drive?

    You need a compatible installation DVD to perform the installation on the G5 and connect the drive to the computer internally or through FireWire.

  • How to re - install yosemite after that I installed el capitan on my iMac 2015

    My iMac end of 2015 set up El Capitan. I want to reinstall Yosemite for Nikon app how can I do? The restoration of the internet has re - install only El Capitan.

    If you have the Installer OS X Yosemite.app file, you can create an installer 8 GB USB thumb drive with her. Then start from it and see If you can first install Yosemite on an external drive. Do not wipe your drive internal. Use an external one to test.

    Some Mac 2015 could be able to run of Yosemite. For example, my early 2015 MBP retina came pre-installed with El Capitan, but with a Yosemite USB installer I was able to install Yosemite on it. It seems that you have an end 2015 iMac that maybe isn't able to run of Yosemite.

    I want to re install with a clean sheet. I have install, but my old catalog loads again. How do I delete catalog and where it is stored. I lost some of the media that came with my drive by accident so I need to re install

    HI ATR

    Just update you 13 windows 7 items... I sat until midnight and found the program data and ended up finding the catalog. I deleted the catalog now. and uninstalled items 13. I hope that when I reinstall it will be like new, and I can go back again. I had messed up I saw when viewing the photos in the media, it was media files and thought they shouldn't be there so I deleted them. Maybe thinking about now I get an error. Before, I made a slideshow with the media from the drive. I just started using elements 13 I used windows live previously for videos. Can you let me know also what photoshop elements or first, you use the most.  Also if I import video files in why do I see them I think of thumbnails. That's where I went wrong and thinking, they shouldn't be here. I brought a few books and trying to go through the learning process. What camera do you use?  Many questions sorry. Thanks for any help.  Russell
