• Problem creating bootable installation for El Capitan

  Hello

  When I try to create an installation program for El Capitan bootable on a new MacBook Pro (A1278) in November 2015 using the string SUDO included in

  HT201372: Create a bootable OS x Installer, I get an immediate failure with the answer "sudo: failed to initialize the PAM: no such file or directory." Diskmaker X loops on it and runs into the same answer of the problem.  Is there a solution or the solution to this problem?

  If you do not already have a current backup, please backup all data, and then reinstall the OS. * you don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need the backup unless something is wrong. If the system has been upgraded an earlier version of Mac OS X, you may need to the Apple ID and password to use.

  There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

  If you installed the runtime Java distributed by Apple, and still need, you will need to reinstall it. It goes the same for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.

  Related support article refers to OS X 10.11 ("El Capitan"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions.

• ICloud sync broken between Yosemite (too old for El Capitan) Mac and iOS9.3 on devices, for all Apple applications. Any solution?

  Since that is new iPad and iPhone one last week, with iOS 9.3.4, I can't rely on iCloud (iCloud Drive) for synchronization between these devices and my iMac on docs or entries that I create in Pages, Numbers, calendar, Contacts, Notes, reminders.

  With no synchronization goes, I am now frustrated with Apple based applications.  The only solution is to buy a new iMac that can do El Capitan for iCloud to synchronize?

  My 2008 iMac cannot go beyond the latest version of Yosemite.  Even apps that I continue to use without problems - except iCloud who can't do what it should.  According to me, only yosemite on the iMac in 2008, was made bankrupt by the last iOS.

  That's the problem - unless someone has found a workaround.  Without a functional iCloud, sync that I've been waiting for has disappeared.  I need to change how to manage what I do on the devices and the computer.

  I would like to find a way to "merge" safe documents created in these applications on both devices and the computer. Initially a merger will have duplicates.  I can't let the docs on any device replace the docs on the other.

  To avoid any loss of docs on any device and computers, I'm afraid to try to use iTunes.  So I won't try it.  Maybe I need to go "manual" and look at the files on each and do the merge manually, by sending an e-mail.  Help!  I discovered this by accident and now that I look closer I see that synchronization does not occur.

  The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

  Start by:

  Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

  Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

• What is the recommended for El Capitan recovery process?

  What is the recommended for El Capitan recovery process?

  I just upgraded directly from Mountain Lion, and I see that my recovery disc has disappeared.  My recovery disk wizard is only good for Lion and Mountain Lion.  I searched Apple.com and found a complicated process by which I could use the Console and create a bootdisk with the option reinstall, but I can't believe that this is the recommended option for a common user?

  So is time machine bygones?  I noticed that it is dimmed in the Menu bar?

  Certainly, you can restore El Capitan as you would with any other version of OS X - using the HD Recovery. I have no idea why your Recovery HD disappeared. Usually this would cause by user error. However, you can create a standalone install OS X on a USB FlashDrive for emergency use. This has been an option because at least Mavericks:

  Do your own installation of El Capitan using the El Capitan tool flash drive:

  You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

  You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

  Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

  sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath X\ "/ Applications/install OS X El Capitan.app.

  Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

  You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

  You can do the same thing for Yosemite by making the appropriate substitute for the installer in the above command line:

  Make your own Yosemite flash Installer drive using the tool of Yosemite:

  You can create an installer of the Yosemite via the Terminal flash drive. Yosemite has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

  You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

  Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

  sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app X\ X\

  Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

  You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

  In addition, to Yosemite and earlier you can try using DiskMaker X.
