    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:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.

    Everytime I open my MacBook Air with OSLion a sign comes up saying that Firefox is downloaded from the internet. How can I get rid of this sign.

    Make sure that Firefox is installed correctly.

    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program in the folder of the application on your hard drive.

    You should not double-click the Firefox application to run from the disk image and drag it out of the DMG file instead.

    Hello Kluggerjo,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I know how important it must be able to count on your devices work as expected, and I have a few steps that should help resolve the behaviors you see.

    I would recommend to go by resetting your management system (SCM) controller. MSC helps control and regulate different material on your Mac, including Bluetooth systems.  This article will guide you in this process: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac.

    If you still experience the issue after the test, you can test the behavior to a test user. This will help us to determine if the problem is systemic or isolated to your user account. This article will guide you in this process: How to test a question in another account on your Mac user

    If the behavior is duplicated to the test user, I'd recommend reinstalling El Capitan. This will not delete your data. To reinstall using the recovery mode, take a look at this article: How to reinstall OS X

    If you experience any problems or have any questions, please let us know. The entire community is here to help.

  • HP Operating System CD sold and used with the computer of the other company.

    I bought this CD from:

    AClass products

    32 c Westfield, Trading Estate

    Westfield Trading Estate

    Midsomer Norton, Somerset

    BA3 - 4BH

    United Kingdom

    I found on this CD - he wrote "For Distribution only with new" or HP Compaq PC

    Commercial sale claim, is that you can use it on any Acer, Dell, Fujitsu, Toshiba and other computer laptop or desktop - if they are, things can go wrong.

    Its great to buy a HP CD to go with the HP for laptop or desktop, even if they think that using it on other computer companies may not cause problems. If I used it on a Dell, Toshiba or another computer, I know he can or can not install, but if this is the case, it may hang after that I have try or warn just not. That is why, I know things happen. For example you get HP Logo to appear in a Dell computer, or the Dell Logo appears in an HP computer - if the computer can still run the software, the software of the BIOS has instructions Stop and Go, just like WIFI and brand cards labeled software.

    My problem or the question is, if someone claims its possible to use the CD of the HP operating system on other computers from computer companies, as if the problems never happen, its apples mixture similar to oranges unless you like a fruit salad, its best to put things in their place. I would like to know the truth of HP or an expert, some people say its strange I would have problems, they think it's harmless - there must be a reason for the problem when it is used on different computers. It would be good to know that I'm not the only one who knows how this happened, to confirm what I discovered and read, or if asked that its harmless to use with other computers, or simply absurd, and why.

    Hi Kabigan

    I even asked Microsoft and the answer they gave me, it's illegal. Society, I bought an OEM CD (Got back CD instead) and license, even to send the label with the serial number where his tell clear the Furijitsu, my old laptop computer is Hp. normally in my area where I worked as HE consultantant license belong to the preinstalled computer, it was purchased with.

    My experience it won't work, because a recovery cd is check the bios and see that this isn't the computer that made the recovery cd. I have not yet opened the package, because I consider return the cd and the company label.

    I may be wrong because I don't know the law, but normally software license is the same for the EMEA region for the whole country. It could be if she sold the Germany law differs "German Federal Court of Justice 06/07/2000 (find ZR 244/97) distribution of OEM and DSP licensing."

  • What operating system is good and easy to use

    What operating system is good and easy to use, Windows XP, Windows 7 or Windows Vista? I am now using Windows XP, I intend to install the new OS, which one is better. Please advice

    Vincent

    Pass Vista (requires a minimum of 2 GB of RAM) and install Windows 7 (just 1 GB of memory for the 32-bit version).  If you buy the "Full" version (not the upgrade version) from Windows 7, you can Dual Boot between XP and Windows 7 (not all XP software will be running in Windows 7 and dual-boot will allow you to continue to use any software that you place a high value on the). More information on dual-boot below.

    You must first check if your Windows XP-based computer supports Windows 7  Go the the computer manufacturing technical support web site and see if they list Windows 7 device drivers. No driver Windows 7 means that you can not (the most often install Windows 7, if this isn't the case find Vista drivers).

    Also run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor:

    It happened a few times now. While I use my computer, all applications and the windows are closed at the same time, I am disconnected and the computer is off, as if someone manually stops the computer.

One day when I turned on the computer, it run chkdsk before doing the usual startup. I use the computer for 2 years and this is the first time, she never did a chkdsk on its own.
