Moving from Yosemite to El Capitan
I'm on Yosemite 10.10.5 iMac 27 inch end 2012 and are reluctant to upgrade to El Capitan. I want to get my perfect Yosemite Setup, so El Capitan has a good landing. But I need advice.
I did a test proposed by Linc Davis on Re: is el Capitan up to speed at all and displayed the results here:
That these results do suggest?
Thank you.

Your mac to qualify or exceed the requirement of OS 10.11
you have any 3rd party software or device that is not compatible with OS 10.11, have you checked with the developers?
You can use sites like "roaringapps.com" but keep in mind that they are open to suggestions from people who could not use the software, can not correctly identify it or didn't test it it is full. It's a resource, but take it with a grain of salt.
Do you have documented critical parameters and info you need?
you have serial # s and printed installation info or accessible webmail hollow or other means?
have you saved?
Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support
If you have met all these questions that you can upgrade safely to 10.11 of the OS and in case there is an emergency situation, you can restore to previous state.
I recommend before update to remove all external devices except the mouse and keyboard to facilitate a smooth process.

How can I get the file Library.photoslibrary from Yosemite to open in Mavericks
Hello!
I have downgraded from Yosemite to the Mavericks, and I'm moving my files to the Mavericks.
I have a Library.photoslibrary file opening problem Photo with the Mavericks.
That's what I tried:
ILife 11. Installed iPhoto and updated to 9.4.3 worm. Copied from Library.photoslibrary to the Mavericks.
Could not open the library.
Suggested a how-to website. Go to the App Store and iPhoto download (from files 'Bought'). The version he was 9.5.1. Tried with the same result, would not open the file Library.photoslibrary of Photos on the Mavericks.
Would appreciate any help on how I can access/use of the photoslibrary of Yosemite, the Mavericks.
Thanks for any help!
AJ
What version of iPhoto did you use finally to open the library?
iPhoto cannot downgrade a library, but you can use iPhoto Library Manager to downgrade the library, see this help page: http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/downgrading%20a%20library%20to%20an%20ea rlier%20version%20of%20iphoto.html

I'm moving from PC to iMac. I think that I have brought successfully my profile. My work id of addressbook, but no mail received file is obvious. The Mail subfolder in the profile of 'new' - "Mail" - is about the same size - 1.6 GB - as it was on the PC, so I guess that the mail has not moved, however, there is no sign of what I can find on the page "news" of Thunderbird. I did move by copying the profile folder of the PC on the Mac desktop, raise the profile of Mac beside him folder and dragging the PC Mail subfolder to the mail folder in the Mac profile. I think I am way over my head here; I really want to solve the problem, so I can mothball the PC. Thanks is advance for your help.
OK, the ini file will be
MacHD>Users>RKW (me)>Library>Thunderbird
The profile folder will be in MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles with a name like d1234pg. By default. When copying content. It is this lower level folder called. Not MacHD > users > RKW (me) > library > Thunderbird > profiles.
To simplify a little (I hope so.
Install Thunderbird. go to the Help menu in Thunderbird and select troubleshooting information.
In this tab, click on the button show the frlder for the profile.
Finder will open with the open current profile folder.
Close Thunderbird.Now, locate the old profile folder, it will be contains pref.js as a file among many others.
Copy the files and folder to this folder, and place them in the new folder Thunderbird open in the Finder for you. To replace the files.Open Thunderbird and you should have it all.

After the upgrade to Yosemite to El Capitan color is overly rosy on display Acer P215H
After reclassification of Yosemite to El Capitan mac mini, the color is too pink Acer P215H on-screen. Color display was fine before the installation of the El Capitan.
More info.
Color started too blue, but changed to excessively pink when I shook the DVI cable connector to VGA in port thunderbolt.
I wear glasses with progressive lenses. The amount of extra pink varies with the angle of view as if the tint darkening of the glasses is filtering some of the additional rose; but the colors are still never real; In addition, the glasses are not a problem with Yosemite.
