  • Update of my Macbook Pro (2010) to El Capitan?

    Hi all

    I've been planning to update my Macbook Pro 2010 at El capitan. But, I have only updated the software once before, to Snow Leopard, so I don't know if my mac can handle the transition. I want to upgrade because I hope that it will speed up my macbook. Any thoughts on the weather or not I should update?

    Thank you!

    The only way to know for sure how the MBP will respond to El Capitan is to install it.  However, you might want to install El Capitan on a different HARD disk or another volume and try it first before commit you to him.  That way, if she does she not suit you, you can easily return to Snow Leopard.

    If you have not already 8 GB of RAM installed in your 2010 MBP, I suggest that you do.  El Capitan likes to use a lot of RAM.  The best sources of RAM compatible Macs are OWC and Crucial.

    Ciao.

    El Capitan is the only one to use, clean the shit of your Mac first and if you have less than 4G of Ram, increase to 4 or more

  • a macbook pro with retina display becomes hot when in use?

    A macbook pro with retina display becomes hot when in use?

    Yes.  All of the skin of the MBP is part of the evacuation of heat, not only the arriere-charniere event.  That's why running the MBP on a hard flat surface is better, so the room air can cool down all surfaces.  He put on a hidden or your knees when running may block exposure to air.

    High intensity running video uses graphics and CPU harder, needing cooling.

  • 2015 the Macbook Pro 13 Retina El Capitan freezes randomly

    Hello

    I have a Macbook Pro 13 2015 with the Retina display. I plug in December. It has the most recent update of El Capitan (OSX 10.11.4). I have 91.8 GB of free space on the SSD drive. Around a month ago, freezes bad has started to happen. Frost occur generally when I'm browsing Safari, I do not know if it has nothing to do with YouTube videos, but maybe it's interesting to note that I usually have a tab open in Safari that's YouTube when it happens (but not always). Today, I already had 2 freezes, before one arrived, I read an article and it happened (a YouTube tab was open in Safari, however, the video did not play for the moment when frost arrived). The second time, watched a YouTube video, and freezing that happened when I clicked on the time bar to make the video at a specific time. Frost usually occurs when I interact with something like that, opening of a new video in YouTube (such as clicking a recommendation of video on the right panel), or interact with the video itself. Note, after I restarted the computer, the previous video is one which opens in Safari, if frost has occurred during playback of the video which freezes just after I started playing.

    However, it is not only Safari which can cause freezing. There was a specific case, when I looked at the images in the Photos app. There were many of them, and I pressed the arrow left and right to navigate through them. Then he suddenly freezes the whole system, couldn't get out of the application or anything. Such a freeze is really bad, I can't interact with the computer somehow, the mouse cursor freezes, time freezes in the status bar, no Cmd + space for Spotlight, no physical reaction buttons whatsoever. Only option is to wait a few minutes (in order to clearly identify the process before and during the system failure in the newspaper), and then press and hold the power button until the machine stops.

    I thought first of all it is a software problem, I did a complete reinstallation of the system (formatted the SSD drive, downloaded Yosemite, then upgraded to El Capitan, once again). I had 2 weeks of calm, but today it happened again (2 times so far). I share the newspaper of queries system log: all messages. The last frost that happened at 13:31, and I waited until 13:37 to restart the computer. If I'm not able to detect the problem, I think I'll try to return this product, because I think that it is unacceptable for a machine that costly to freeze the whole system and lost unsaved process in Word or whatever it is.

    Thank you for your help,

    Adam

  • A mid-Macbook Pro will work El Capitan OK

    I know that Apple says El Capitan will work on a Macbook Pro mid, but I was wondering this works well, because memory is limited to 4 GB.  I have a 2.2 Ghz core 2 with 4 GB of memory running 10.8.5. Everything works fine now, but Apple is no longer supported and updated security.

    After Turbo tax, I'll need to upgrade my OS to run their software for 2016, lack of support from security. Other software not Apple that I use are professional digital Canon Canon EOS Utility, Canon ImageBrowser EX, Photo Shop & Bridge CS3 which would not have long term and is the second big question after Turbo tax.  I also have a Canon i9900 printer, an Epson Artisan 837 printer and an Epson V600 Scanner. I need for my printer and scanner to work.

    My question is:

    (1) new OS works well with my old Macbook Pro or is it a stranger

    (2) recommendations on how to proceed if I upgraded the operating system. I've read a few people downloading to a card reader or thumb and run it from that as a trial.

    (3) it is time for a new Macbook Pro.

    MA895LL?

    Mid-2007?

    If this is the model, Yes, it will run 10.11.3

    It won't be great with 4 GB of RAM, in fact it will be a bit tedious if you start to tax it applications.

    You may be able to spit your boot drive in another partition and install to that partition and boot to it, this will give you the most responsive install and allow you to keep your current operating system.

    Your other option is an external drive. You can install 10.11.3 on one dedicated or external mechanical partition or disk hard SSD and boot to it.

    All other software and drivers should be analyzed to determine if they will work in the upgraded operating system, you will have to search the web and find out yourself, but several printers and scanners do not have a life long development and many of your devices may not have drivers by developers. Contact companies and ask if you can not find on the web.

    Back up your system with Time machine before continuing.

    the other options is TurboTax has a version based on the web of their software? Use and maintain your system where it is and work, invest in another Mac when you can afford to do so if you need future 10.11.3.

  • MacBook Pro comes with El Capitan will not work with Yosemite?

    You just bought a Macbook Pro (15 ', i7, 16 GB, 512 flash ") which comes with El Capitan and apparently I can't install Yosemite.

    I have the audio hardware and software which is more stable on yosemite by many accounts... After spending $ 3,500, I think I should have the ability to run the previous operating system (Yosemite)... very unhappy about it... as I use my rigging professionally and it's for me real time waster

    I have been informed by mac support to return my mac and get the old stock with a reseller... what a joke!

    Is there a real physical limitation or is it the IEF / SIP / MSC?

    Can anyone offer a solution?

    Thank you

    George

    Well, the line official company has always been that you can not install older software OS on a Mac than the version it came with.

    That said, I can say that I have indeed to install older versions of the operating system on some computers, (the Mac Pro towers). You will find very little written on the question of whether or not you will succeed. I make a backup of everything, the partition of the hard drive and try.

    It has been my experience you can usually return at least a version of the OS, but there is no guarantee.

    Wow, these are all accidents just of singular everything off in the memory of the garbage.  Something certainly won't, but I'm pretty confident that it is specific to your machine.

    Here is where I would start.  I think we should take Flash completely, scan your disk for corruption and fix anything find us, restart, then proceed to reinstall.

    1.), do manual uninstall for Flash to make sure it's really clean.

    If you cannot remove some of these manually, the disk is damaged.  Do step 2 and then come back and do it again.

    2.) see the section "try disk utility:

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203176

    While you're there, choose repair file system permissions (check frequently back clean, but then repair will always fix a lot of problems).

    3.) reboot the machine (for real, just to eliminate any possibility that something remained stuff Flash in use)

    It's pretty weird for what it's worth diagnostics hardware running on the computer.  You may just have a baguette flaky RAM.

    For versions of model before 2013 diagnostic test uses a different method.

    Two different media cover aspects There are reasons

    Why the AHT vs diagnoses may not work in some models of the year of construction.

    And with specific systems, the recovery partition (or lack thereof).

    • With the help of Apple Diagnostics - Apple Support

    For computers shipped with OS X 10.7 or earlier, the test is on the

    Press Kit of included system disk; If you start from there to run the test.

    • Finding material defects: explore Ardourel & Apple Diagnostics

    Before you run AHT /Apple Diagnostics. By controlling both the software and

    distribution of material for its systems, Apple is able to optimize the two halves to work...

    There are some methods and ideas in the articles above.

    A reason for the question, you face, is the vintage material & macOS they shipped with.

    Good luck & happy computing!

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent.plist

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

  • using a macbook pro and IMAC (El Capitan) - work done and stored in iCloud are not accessible to the IMAC - why and what is the solution?

    I can access iCloud of both devices (1 x macbook pro & 1 x IMAC, the two OS X El Capitan)-work on the macbook pro is stored in iCloud, but I can't access it from the IMAC. There is no symbol of cloud dotted next to folders - why can I not access at work?
