  I have a late 2009 iMac. When I tried to upgrade to El Capitan. He said that the CHIP shows the h/d is a failure and can not be updated. I have install an external withEl of h/d Cap but it is very slow. the h/d is USB 3 but the iMac's USB 2. the h/d is only 5400 RPM. a 7200 RPM 7 / would accelerate the iMac?

  No, because the limiting factor is the computer is USB 2.0, which is how it connects any external drive apart the external drive. As USB 2.0 is much slower, there is no real advantage to a 7200 RPM drive. What you need is a Firewire enclosure that supports FW800 which is much faster than USB 2.0.

• tried to upgrade to el capitan of lion but I get this message: INSTALL_ERROR_DISTRIBUTION_SIGNED_BY_APPLE

  I have an IMAC mid-2010 and tried to upgrade to el capitan of lion [software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)] but I get this message: INSTALL_ERROR_DISTRIBUTION_SIGNED_BY_APPLE

  How to solve this.  I think that's what keeps me to sync my iPhone 6 and IPAD PRO I got the year last, and 1 month ago, respectively, with the iMac. I tried to download iTunes separately, but it does not work. Memory is 1 t, processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3. Memory DDR3 at 1333 MHz 12 GB

  Make sure your time and date is correct.  If this is not the case, correct it and try the install again.

  Remove anti-virus, anti-malware or module security or performance or system cleanup tools according to the instructions of the respective providers.   Try again.

  If this fails, restart the iMac by Safe Mode like which clears and regenerates the system puts in cache, among other details, reboot normally and see if the Mac App Store download starts working.   Then re-download the installer of El Capitan, and then try again.

  If all else fails, please after the release of Etrecheck as a starting point - which will indicate the specific hardware configuration nd can show if there is something wonky openly what is installed.

• I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 Vista but not like the 40 GB c: partition has only 3 GB free.

  TRY TO UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 7 BUT C: DRIVE FULL DESPITE THE REMOVAL OF ALL UNNECESSARY PROGRAMS

  I'm trying to upgrade to windows 7 Vista but not like the 40 GB c: partition has only 3 GB free. Removed all unnecessary programs, etc. If you only really have Vista on C: drive but still showing 37GB used. Any ideas how I can release another 6 GB of free space.
  Tahnks a lot

  I hate to say it, but it would be a great time for a bigger hard drive.  While 40 GB meets at least for installation you really need more for in-place-upgrading a system using 37 GB.  Setup needs space for temporary files, its own temporary relocation, etc.

• I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and because the "padlock" icon never appears when you access secure Web sites, where should I look for it?

  I recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the 'lock' icon is nowhere (I don't know) when you access secure Web sites. I've not seen once. It appeared in the lower right of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

  Well, in the secure Web sites part of the address bar is allocated to the part of the security certificate. For example, here in these forums you can see your address bar is as follows: mozilla.com . https://support.mozilla.com... The front ' |' ("mozilla.com") is what I'm talking about. For more information on the security certificate, you can mouse over and also clicking on it.

• My MacBook Pro (late2009) stalled for 2 days now trying to upgrade to El Capitan. It neither improved nor returned to Yosemite. Help, please.

  I have macbook pro late 2009. I started to upgrade to El Capitan 2 days ago. Downloaded, it stalled during installation. It has frozen about 95% installation and remained so for 2 days. Help, please.

  Try to Safe Mode Setup:

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201262

  Start safe mode and see if the problem persists:

  Restart now ' shift '.

  (Wait to take more time to start in this way because it runs a check of directory first. Also give it some time after the start because he runs maintenance routines at the beginning.)

• MacBook will not be upgrading to El Capitan - "cannot be installed on this computer.

  I'm trying to upgrade a macbook to El Capitan but I get this message from the app store: "this version of Mac OS x 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer."

  If I click on "Learn more" nothing happens. We just bought this macbook off ebay and it seems to have had a clean operating system installed and I just ran the update of the program, so everything is up to date.

  This is a Macbook 4.1, Intel Core 2 duo 2.4 ghz, 2 GB of memory. It is currently running 10.6.8.

  I searched the forums and online and see no reason why it won't even download the update... Any help would be appreciated!

  This computer has a 32-bit EFI and cannot be updated past 10.7.5.

• Lion running on base 2011 MacBook Pro afraid of: upgrade to "El Capitan."

  I have a base 2011 MacBook Pro running Lion 10.7.5. It becomes kind of slow, but I just had it looked at. No problems. I'm afraid of a free upgrade to El Capitan as it may run more slowly. I have much stored and not in the game. Think to pay shop install for $30 Mountain Lion. Thoughts?

  There should be a reason why a Mac starts running slow.  First find the reason (s) and then upgrade.

  A good starting point is a download and publishing a report Etrecheck:

  Is there another way to get the latest version?

• Compaq nc6400 upgraded xp to win 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to work

  I have upgraded xp to win 7, as we will have to do, but can't get the fingerprint reader to work. It appears in the devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista, but they got nowhere.  Read in many places as Vista drivers will work but I seem to need more than that. Any clue?  Thank you!!!

  Hello:

  Yes, for Vista fingerprint reader driver is the only one available, but you must install the software HP protect Manager security tools for Windows 7 from the model which succeeded the nc6400, who was the 6910p.

  You must also use the W7 driver quick launch buttons.

• Mac Book Air 11 2011 - upgrade to El Capitan or not?

  My Mac Book Air 2011 has only 4 GB of memory. Should I move to El Capitan or will it slow down too?

  I'm on 10.9.5 now and basically good with it.

  Only complaint is the different version of the page, now that I upgraded my iMac to El Capitan.

  Thank you

  KC

  If you have no problem with the Mavericks, then you'll be fine with El Capitan. However, no matter what you decide, I would like to add more memory to your computer if possible.
