Mavericks at El Capitan: security

I have a Macbook Pro 13 "with Retina display (end 2013) and am running iOS 10.9.5." I've been avoiding Yosemite because everyone told me it was not as good as the Mavericks, but I was thinking about upgrading to El Capitan, since I heard that it is a major improvement on Yosemite. I have a Professor of i5 2.4 GHz Intel Core and 8 GB of memory, so I think it should flow normally, but tell me if otherwise.

I was wondering if the El Capitan has been more or less safe (mainly, susceptible to malware and other) than the Mavericks? I heard some call "finished" Mavericks is more stable, while El Capitan is newer and still receive updates.

I also checked and the software I normally use is available in El Capitan and I heard that their performances are somewhat the same, so I was wondering just the safety. However, I can't update XCode 6.2 7.2 any further because it is not compatible, so I'm wondering if that would be (somehow) is a problem as well.

El Capitan is a safer operating system and works well for most people. However, SIP locks many parts of Mac OS X as a developer you can access. El Capitan requires xcode7. More protection have been taken to the malware that is a growing threat, but your own common sense should be enough to avoid downloading software from questionable sources. Malwarebytes. has been developed by one of our colleagues, here to ASC. He received rave reviews and is on the more proven anti-malware for Mac software.

  • No problem of reclassification of Maverick in El Capitan

    Must what members experience reclassification of Mavericks at El Capitan? It is worth?

    Reclassification of Mavericks in El Capitan, this isn't a problem. Whether or not it is worth depends on what you like and if you need the features provided by El Capitan, which is not provided by the Mavericks.

    However, make sure that your applications are compatible. At least 4Gig memory. If you intend to continue using iPhoto, make sure that you update to the latest version 9.6.1.

    IF you have another disk, you might install on test and try it first. It is perhaps the best way to go.

    Anyway, have a good Time Machine backup in case you want to restore.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple support, Deirdre-2D!

    It seems that you encounter several different questions since Wednesday last on your Mac Pro. Let's see if we can get these cleared up for you. Test questions you mentioned having tried every troubleshooting step. Don't hesitate to jump steps you have already tried, but let me know?

    1. your Mac hard drive backup - before you start troubleshooting procedures, I always recommend a fresh backup. It is preferable "to have" one the "need."

    2 try safe mode if your Mac does not start -even if your Mac starts, which makes sure it starts successfully.

    3. How to test one question in another user on your Mac account - this will help determine if the questions are found in all your user account or if they are systemic.

    4. on the recovery of OS X - if you're still with these problems, reinstall the operating system on your Mac.

    Have a great day!

  • Importing Calendar/Contacts of the Mavericks in El Capitan Server

    Hello community!

    I always run Mavericks OS X Server and I try to update the server El Capitan, I understood only by processes of updating standard some services fail, so I decided to set up a new server of El Capitan.

    I had my users with WGM in Mavericks has exported and imported into El Capitan. I've even set up my Profilemanager settings (manually) again.

    All right up here.

    But here's my question (s)

    This is where I struggle at the moment.

    Thanks in advance for any advice on this issue!

    Each calendar on clients to export as an ICS file, then import them to a new calendar based on the server after the upgrade.

  • Migrate from Mavericks in El Capitan

    I have a MacBook Pro (mid 2010 Mavericks running) and want to do a clean install of El Capitan on it. Would it not be possible to use the Migration Wizard to migrate the backup Mavericks Time Machine (on a NAS) to this new facility? In other words, is it backward compatibility?

    It is not quite clear what you want to accomplish:

    a clean install means that you reinstall all apps/tools afterwards and then copy use userdata from a backup:

    If you want to use TM, you can use your last user data and restore.

    MigrationAssitant is that you can use when you switch to a new mac and migrate.

    Gary

    1. Fix the hard disk and permissions.
    2. Updated all third party applications to ensure compatibility with El Capitan if required - see compatibility App - RoaringApps table.
    3. Back up your data. Or use the disk utility's restore option to clone your system to a backup drive.
    4. Verify that the backup is where it should be. If you cloned verify that the clone will start the computer.
    5. Download El Capitan from the App Store.
    6. Before you install, make a copy of the installer to ensure the guard.
    7. install El Capitan.
  • Internet recovery installation Mavericks not El Capitan

    Hello

    I am trying to reinstall OS X of the recovery of the Internet. I had been running El Capitan, but when I boot to the recovery of the Internet, it installs the Mavericks.

    I can easily update from here, but I'm trying to understand why this happens? It will always return to the operating system that comes originally on the computer? Or is there a way to change this?

    Thank you!

    It is supposed to return to the origin of the computer OS.

  • Will be upgrade to my old MacBook Pro of Mavericks in El Capitan speed things up? If this is not the case, how to restore?

    My trusty old MBP (15-inch, mid 2009; Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB / 9600M GT 512 MB; Software  OS X 10.9.5 (13F1134); positively ancient, I know!) is really gives me a hard time. And I don't even talking about video editing or other heavy work. No, simple processing, navigation, etc. ; the kind of things that NEVER used put any strain on the girl. But nowadays, JEEZ!

    So, can anyone advise? Upgrade to El Capitan would make things better or worse?

    I did several drive repairs and checks - recovery mode - even a defrag with iDefrag (for what it's worth, right?), but still no luck. So, I'm of a mind that an update of the OS would be some new life to my dear old steed before I finally retire him when I can afford next year.

    I'm just dreading that I'll make things worse! So, I can back up with Time Machine and then just return to Mavericks if the proverbial poop hits the fan?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

    I think you need to check first on your system.   Download and install this application that will tell us something about what is happening to your system so slow.   http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • MacBook 2008 El Capitan or Mavericks

    I buy a refurbished Macbook 2008. This is a screen of 13.3 "with 2.4 GHZ. I have a selection of El Capitan, Yosemite or Mavericks. Should I go with the Mavericks or El Capitan? I have a friend who has upgraded to El Capitan with his 2008. I also heard some of those who have said that they will never switch to El Capitan and will stay with the Mavericks. Since I have this choice, choose El Capitan or Maverick? I basically will use this laptop for Keynote presentations. It would be nice to go on the Internet searching for information required for presentations. Thanks for the help! Bookman

    I guess that your Macbook is a fine model of 2008.

    Unless you had some Mavericks, installed in another computer and it is in your App store account, you won't be able to use it because it is no longer available.  This soul El Capitan is your only choice.

    Since this Macbook is new to you, you will need to install the original OS x (Leopard) or Snow Leopard to get the Macbook associated with your Apple ID.  This is necessary so that you can install updates (including the OSX)

    You will need this disk:

    http://www.Apple.com/shop/product/MC573Z/A/Mac-OS-x-106-Snow-Leopard

    Then run the Combo of Snow Leopard update:

    https://support.Apple.com/kb/dl1399?locale=en_US

    This moment will allow you to install the Mavericks (assuming that you have a copy of your App Store account) or El Capitan.

    Ciao.
