Impossible to upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.2

Have tried several times to upgrade to 10.11.2.  Whenever it comes to the recovery, I get a box that says that the available updates have changed, please click "View details", but after clicking, the details never present themselves.  I went through several cycles of reboot, but am still stuck on 10.11.1.

The update still shows as being available when I click on software update.

Clues?

Thank you

David

Restart your Mac and try again.

If this does not help, go to the Finder.

In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

Then type or copy paste the following text:

~/Library/cookies/com. Apple.AppStore.Cookies

Click OK, and then place the com.apple.appstore.cookies file in the trash.

Restart your Mac once more and then try to update on v10.11.2.

  • LasetJet Pro M475dn: Impossible to scan over the network after upgrade to El Capitan

    After that I upgraded to El Capitan I no longer use HP Scan or HP Easy Scan to scan the network more. I can print to the printer, but analysis always results in the page being pulled by the document feeder, but applications just to lock-up without the document showing. Everything worked fine on Yosemite.

    I found a workaround solution that once worked before after a update of Mac OS X (but had to change the name of file, much like the original file has disappeared). Just download the next file on HP (no matter that it is not for your printer; it's not mine either (OfficeJet Pro L7680) but it works).

    https://forums.developer.Apple.com/thread/3981

    When you run the Setup program, make sure you hold the CTRL key when you right-click on it, then click Open in the menu.

    Run the Setup program. Be sure to select the HP scanning software and install it. When you get to the configuration of the printer, just skip this step (unless you are using the printer in question). The parser components are what you really want from the printer drivers are already in El Capitan, if you have a HP supported printer. The scanning software will have already installed to the moment you arrive at this screen.

    Install the HP Easy Scan on the App Store app (if you get the latest version of the software your front-end). You should be able to run the scanner and scans without restart. I don't know if it will work for everyone, but certainly, it worked for me and keep me until they find what went wrong in El Capitan to disable scanning and scanning capabilities.

    SIP turn on again so that your Mac is better protected. We should all work after that. After doing the above, I found that I was able to not only use the HP software, I was able to use Image Capture, preview, etc, to get images from the scanner. Your mileage may vary, but if all goes well it will work again for you all.

  • Preferably system errors after upgrading to El Capitan

    After the upgrade to El Capitan, I can't connect to all the apps to icloud.  Had errors when you first install my computer after the upgrade to the new operating system, so I opted out of it then.  I went into System Preferences, and there is no freeze that system preferences.  This also happens when I click on 'Security and privacy' and 'Parental control' (these are the only elements when I tested all components).  I tried safe restart and that did not work.  I have also tried in a guest account and have no problem in the guest account.  This account is extremely slow and freezes more than the guest account.  This is the part that I'm stuck in (I tried to go through other threads, but have no luck with their recommendations).  Here is a copy of the console messages that I get when I click on the iCloude pane in system preferences:

  • Upgrade to El Capitan and Photos

    I have an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 2010.  I use iPhoto ' 09 v.8.1.2 for a library with 28 826 photos (67 GB).

    I want to upgrade to El Capitan.  I bought a copy of Photos for Mac and iOS: The Missing Manual to try to prepare.

    First step of the author for iPhoto to Photos to Mac migration is at level iPhoto to the latest version.  The catch-22 is that 9.6.1 has disappeared from the App Store and the author says that if you have not upgraded to iPhoto to 9.6.1 before you upgrade to OS X 10.3, iPhoto won't open at all.  My research of this forum seems to confirm that others have had the experience of not being able to update iPhoto, especially if they have never bought an iPhoto update in the App Store - I did not.

    So, which seems to mean that once I go to El Capitan, I no longer able to use iPhoto.  I can make it with that, but I still need to know the best way to prepare for the upgrade to avoid problems.

    27 October 2015 old Toad said to a person using an even older version of iPhoto, I am, ' you don't need to upgrade your iPhoto library, if everything you want to migrate to and use the new application Photos in El Capitan. "  It's reassuring.

    I know that the first step is a backup.  And I read that iPhoto, but also trash the Finder trash must be emptied.

    Is there anything else I need to do?

    When I upgraded to Snow Leopard to Lion mountain in February, old Toad advised me to first rebuilding my iPhoto library.  Integrated tool of Apple made a mess and I used iPhoto Library Manager version 3.2.4.  Is there a reason that I would need to rebuild the library again?

    Thank you!

    So, which seems to mean that once I go to El Capitan, I no longer able to use iPhoto.  I can make it with that, but I still need to know the best way to prepare for the upgrade to avoid problems.

    It's true.  9.6.1 iPhoto is the only version compatible with El Capitan.

    But you can't update iPhoto 8.1.2 to this version.  It is not a free update, but requires a purchase of iPhoto 11, and that is not possible any longer, because Apple has stopped selling iPhoto on the App Store.

    When I upgraded to Snow Leopard to Lion mountain in February, old Toad advised me to first rebuilding my iPhoto library.  Integrated tool of Apple made a mess and I used iPhoto Library Manager version 3.2.4.  Is there a reason that I would need to rebuild the library again?

    It would be wise to carry out all repairs - repair permissions, library, in order to ensure the iPhoto library has no problem to repair. It must be done before you upgrade the system, because it will be impossible to run iPhoto 9.8.1 after the upgrade, if you discover problems with the library.  But make a backup copy of the library, before fix it you. This way you can easily restore the original library, if repair should go wrong.

    I know that the first step is a backup.

    Make a full backup - a Time machine backup or a bootable clone.  Then you can restore your system, if you should encounter any problems with El Capitan.  See: OS X El Capitan: revert to a previous version of OS X

    Where your iPhoto library that Library stored?  If it's on an external drive, move it to a disc, it's to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Otherwise the Migration to pictures does not work.

    Photos does not yet support lot changing like iPhoto.  If you need batch change titles to the date or the name of the file do while you still use iPhoto.

    Complete all projects book or calendar in iPhoto, because the book and calendar templates have changed and books may be different in Photos.

  • 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?

    Hello nancy milano,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to complete your update to El Capitan at a later date! The good news is that you can simply delete the "install Mac OS X" install app in the Applications folder on your Mac. Then you can open the Mac App Store when you're ready to update and restart the download from the tab updates or searching through the Mac App Store for El Capitan.

  • MacBook Pro has started to randomly stop when it is on battery since the upgrade to El Capitan

    I have a MacBook Pro (15 inch, early 2011) which works very well on the Mountain Lion for a long time. I finally got round to upgrading to El Capitan last week: directly to 10.11.6. A few days later he just powered down without warning while I was working. He was so very well for a few days, but then made several times in the last 48 hours.

    I am moderately sure it happens only when it is on battery (it did not in the past hours 8 while that plugged). Whenever it happens, that there is no warning and the Mac then fine restarts (manually) - Although the clock resets always in 1970 until he can contact an NTP server. One of the curious side effects is that my PostScript fonts were blank on the screen in Excel for a few reboots yesterday but then OK once again!

    No hardware has changed. Major software change is only El Capitan and possibly an iStat Menus update.

    I have reset PRAM and SMC. I ran the short AHT. I disassembled the machine and clean the fans. they were OK, but the problem seems to occur when the Mac is hot.

    Spotlight and Time Machine sometimes seemed to be struggling for the upgrade, and I also saw rpcsvchost with 100% of a core for a while. The machine feels sometimes slow - but for the last 8 hours, it was very good. The only model that I put in place, is that it seems to occur only on battery; It's even happened then that the Dock (etc.) were loading after logging in after an unexpected shutdown.

    The other thing common is in the newspapers every time:

    Cause of previous stop:-128

    I scanned a number of related posts to aspects of it, but do not look at who blames El Capitan rather than material. Yet, many people reported this kind of problem after the upgrade... Coincidence?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Cause of previous stop:-128

    A negative stop code generally indicates a hardware failure. Have the Apple to assess your Mac. The fix may be as simple as a spare battery.

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how it is important to be able to rely on public services provides your Mac and I want to help you get things working again. With troubleshooting, you have already done, it seems that it is a systemic problem.

  • Printing problems since upgrading to El Capitan

    Two weeks ago, that I've upgraded to El Capitan. Since then I was able to print from Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Office programs. I use my Macbook for business purposes, and there is downtime with my work on this issue. This has nothing to do with printer drivers that I can't print to PDF either.

    I've used nothing helps Apple telephone support. I went to an Apple genius bar and they could not understand either. They have wiped my phone, and then I went home and restored the time upward from the standby machine. The problem was still there. So I uninstalled Microsoft office (last resort recommended by technician at the genius bar) and reinstalled. The problem is still there, and worse yet the Outlook is freezing. I rang a repairer of random computer company this morning specializing in Macs. They said they couldn't help me because they would only do what I've done. My Macbook Pro is just a few years, and now I'm looking down the barrel of the purchase of a new laptop - all because I upgraded to El Capitan!
