  I'm having a problem to install el capitan on a mac book pro 2009 has changed (dead) to an ssd HARD drive

  I can't find that any information how to do this from a windows machine (now only available) of the old system had the lion as I was told and when trying to install lion line or wireless it says it isn't available now so the machine is stuck without an operating system.

  If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, I would suggest bringing your MBP to and asking to help. For USB, you need to partition and format to allow to boot on a Mac, what Windows can not do. Then either create a bootable installer or install OS X on USB and then copy the installer it, boot from it and run the installer with the SSD as a target.

• Modem remains on after the installation of El Capitan

  Hi all

  Since the installation of El Capitan, my modem seeing 'Link' continues to blink (yellow) after that my mac is asleep or off. It flashes green when my mac is active and has been turned off when it is idle. Is this a new normal and is it bad for the modem?

  I don't know what kind of modem you have.

  I suggest do you a hard restart of the modem - see if the old behavior back.

• My 2 TB TC is full and will not back up. Yet, I have only 1 TB of data on my laptop. Note that I've reformatted the laptop since the last backup with a clean installation of El Capitan.

  My 2 TB Time Capsule is full and will not save. Yet, I have only 1 TB of data on my laptop. Note that I've reformatted the laptop since the last backup with a clean installation of El Capitan.

  I bought a 2 TB external hard and have used Time Machine to back up. But I also use my time Capsule, which I save wireless.

  Any suggestions on getting my TC back up?

  One suggestion would be to copy all existing backups that are now on the Time Capsule 2 TB hard disk. Then, clear the TC and start over again with new backups.

  A more expensive option... assuming you want to keep all old backups on the TC... would be to add a new TC and start backups goes in this direction.

  Another option... If you do not need to keep all old backups now on the TC... would be to erase the TC and start over again with new backups. The benefit of doing this would be that no new material will be necessary, but the downside would be that you lose your old backup history.

• A procedure has been asked to do a new installation of El Capitan on a newly installed ssd.

  Where do you download El Capitan and Diskmaker-X, to make a bootable USB and install El Capitan? Do download you both in your downloads folder, insert a blank USB key and run diskmaker and this puts a bootable copy of El Capitan on the USB key? Or you copy both on the USB and run diskmaker-X.  I need some details please?

  You download DiskMaker X in your file downloads, the full installer of El Capitan in the Applications folder and you run DiskMaker X.

• Do not click then that would start in a player flash for a clean installation of El Capitan.

  Bootable media created on a flash drive to do a clean installation of El Capitan on my MBP to Mid 2009. Once I'm booted up in the newly created disk, I can't click on anything in the public services. Chaotic strikes me disk utility, but clicking on does not. I can arrow up to my HD, but unable to select erase. To be clear, I CAN click around in disk utility when I'm booted up 'normally' in my HD. But when I restart, press the alt/option key and select the flash drive, I created for the new facility, click on in order to continue this process is not an option.

  First aid post ever. Hope that plays by the rules. Thank you very much!

  It's very strange behavier. Have you tried to clean your trackpad? Have you tried a wired mouse?

  Before you click to install flash player, the mouse was sensitive to other options?

• Installation of El Capitan on default of new SSD

  Hello

  I'm trying to upgrade my MacBook Pro (15-inch, mid-2012), install a new SSD and run the operating system on it.

  Here's what I did:

  I bought the 'OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6 G' with a cube of data. I removed my optical drive; installed my old HD (running the operating system) in the data Doubler; and install the new SSD in the main Bay.

  I downloaded El Capitan of the 'App Store' and then used «DiskMaker X 5 "to make a bootable usb key.»

  Restarted my computer laptop and booted from USB and the installation of El Capitan. From there, I formatted the new SSD (Mac OS extended (journaled) with a single partition GUID).

  After running down the clock of the installation (about 5 minutes), I get the message "an error occurred during the preparation of the installation. Try to rerun this application".

  Without having to restart the mac, if I try to install the OS again, I'm not able to find the SSD.

  If I restart the laptop and start in the OS on my old HD, I'll find the SSD here on my desk. (Sometimes it take a couple of reboots for my Mac see the SSD).

  And then I try all this again, with the same results.

  I tried other things:

  Reset the PRAM.

  Manual clock setting in the Terminal since the installation of punt. (Although it was not bad in the first place)

  I also tried to set the clock to AST (Arabia standard time) as I live in Saudi Arabia.

  Other than my SSD is defective, any ideas on what can I do to solve this problem?

  Hi Blackcells:

  I guess that you entered in "System Preferences" > "Startup disk" and set to your original drive data Doubler.

  

  Try to remove your new SSD and put it in an external case OWC external box or using a USB to SATA adapter SATA USB adapter and connect it to your MBP via USB.

  Open disk utility > delete and format the SSD for Mac OS extended (journaled) and a GUID partition.

  Then, use a third party application like Carbon Copy Cloner Carbon Copy Cloner (not free, but worth the price) or Super Duper to copy all data from the HARD drive internal as well as the recovery partition.

  The clone will be an exact copy of your hard drive and it will be bootable.

  Start the MBP with the OPTION key and select the new SSD.

  If it starts the MBP, proceed to the physical interchange of disks.

• I can not proceed with the installation of EL Capitan after downloaded because my same unaccepted Apple ID if the correct password overlay

  Please help as I am now hung the message not found "Login" keychain... then reappear.

  Thank you

  Okay, so you didn't get very far in the installation.

  Here's how to reset a forgotten password.

  Do you have a backup before the upgrade, such as a time Machine backup?   (Keychain is not containing the administrative password, unfortunately.)   You remove the login keychain, all stored passwords in Safari and in fact be lost.)   If you have, I would recover the set of connection from there.

  If you don't have a current backup, it's the first think you get.

  There could be a problem with the disk or of protection structure, or with the disc itself.    Creating a new keychain cannot be blocked, short error permissions or a drive problem.    Disk utility and check the drive and see if there is something to do.   (Unfortunately, some of these steps require an administrative password.)   You can try the repairs or a backup to disk by booting from the recovery partition - that won't require no administrative privileges - and attempt a repair or recovery from here, or save the entire drive disk external work.

  You have another Mac around, where certain tools can be generated and can then be used here?

• I accidentally deleted iPhotos after installation of El Capitan and were not able to download or reinstall.

  I accidentally deleted the iPhoto app on my new mac after installation of El Capitan and are not available for download, except the updates, which obviously doesn't work. How can I get that back?

  You can probably not - most likely, you will need to switch to Photos (what would happen sooner or later anyway)

  Have you looked under purchases in the app store?  Can't update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store

  If it is not there you can try reinstalling iPhoto 11 of the original source and the upgrade to 9.6.1 but I doubt it will work

  Or you can try to restore your backup from just before you shape did this error

  Good luck

  Since the installation of El Capitan, my streaming to my Audioengine DAC D2 cut after 12 minutes (the default duration of sleep). It will restart by pressing the space bar. When I change the duration of sleep, the cut outs are becoming more frequent and intermittent. Help?

  I checked the wifi and changed frequency (new modem, frequency change made no difference). The Board battery seems fine - all updates well. My computer is an iMac (2011), 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, with a new AMD Radeon graphics card. I recently installed a State strong 1 TB SATA drive and fitted with a LaCie Porsche 4 to USB for backup and a 4TB disk storage RAID LaCie drive.

  I'm frustrated, having to come in my computer since my living room every 12 minutes to continue to listen to Spotify on my stereo system.

  My guess is there a bug in the software of sleep in El Capitan, which disrupts his (I've tried different USB ports connect the Audioengine sender and same thing).

  Should I go back to Yosemite?
