OS10.6.8 in yosemite

Is it possible to upgrade to yosemite without having to make El captitan etc. ?

When I click on update, I get the message that my computer is up to date. The other day I've suddenly offered the upgrade option but did not have the time, and now I can't get there again.

If you have previously downloaded Yosemite from the Mac App Store, open a session in there with the same Apple ID and click the purchases tab. If this is not the case, go to a physical store of Apple and ask.

    Paper size difference.  When copying, the selection for Super B 13 x 19 paper is not present.  Auto does not work.  New driver [Yosemite] installed.  13 x 19 in default system preferences/printers. The only reason why I bought this printer is very frustrating as the ability to print this size!

    Thank you X-23.  I was afraid of that.  Not trying to digitize 13 x 19, as I know, it cannot do this but hope that I was able to custom resize 13 x 19 a smaller original.  Seems that the software is the culprit.  Not resolved but resolved as much as possible.  Yet X-23 thank you for your kind cooperation.

  • I have problems to restart of Yosemite, after power failure during the new backup, and now HD is also blocked.

    I have problems to restart of Yosemite, after power failure during the new backup, and now HD is also blocked.

    I tried the holding of 'command-r' and 'option' to see if the problem can be resolved or try any boot from a boot disk, my old backup, USB function start - but after a slow long process it all just stops.

    There is software on my HD that I don't want to lose by simply reformatting the computer, because I am now in a different country, far from my house, which is another problem of the Apple Store, to reinstall my OS from Yosemite on the www.

  • My inner smartdrive dvd player won't read DVDs more.  I have updated to Snow Leopard in Yosemite.

    I am currently using OS X Yosemite 10.10.5.  I bought in 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard and have to Lion then updated my current operating system.  The internal dvd player has worked with much fussing, (insert the disc - closing - turn after a wait - by pushing the drive when he jumped on reboot).  If I had the chance after a few hours, the video disc show up on my desk.  When this happened, I was opening the dvd player that was in the Finder and the disc would play. I also tried to open the dvd first player and then insert the disc.  That no longer works.  Yesterday, only it just stop working.  The reader still takes dvd and swirls and click as before but then ejects the dvd. Repeatedly stop and restart is no longer works.  I make sure that the dvd be clean before I use it and have tried many different DVDs without success.  I think it's a software issue.  Does anyone have an idea/instructions a nearly dead grandmother brain that can follow to update or redate back to original factory setting to help this poor Smartdrive not so smart?

    I have no TV, only my computer and phone at low prices.  I need to watch that my library borrowed from the dvd.

    Thank you.

    I suspect the optical drive has failed. My 2009 Mac Mini could not shoot with same symptom 4 years ago.

    To confirm a drive failure, insert a Snow Leopard installation DVD and try to start with the C key.

    If this isn't the case, they drive could not be started.

    I would just get an external optical drive, one powered with an AC adapter. The Superdrive Apple USB does not work without a hack.

    N ° so you have a backup if something goes wrong you can return to Yosemite.

    Only concern is that some devices, including USB that may require the updated drivers, but these records are not always available

  • I have a 2008 iMac - how do Yosemite or El Capitan.  Sierra will not install.

    I have a 2008 iMac - how do Yosemite or El Capitan.  Sierra will not install (I want either the hack).

    I never 'got' Yosemite or El Capitan when they were available on the Mac App Store.

    The only way I've found is to get it on Apple's developer site, but I'm not a developer.  Apple how to flip the switch to the Mac App Store so that it shows up on top of my list?

    On this iMac, you should still be able to download El Capitan:

  • Yosemite bootable install disc only half recognized

    Hello

    I am in the process of upgrading to 10.8.5 Yosemite and created a bootable Yosemite installation on a 100 G SSD drive connected via USB.

    The drive will appear under the "Startup disk" in "system settings" (sorry if these names are not quite correct because I use a Japanese version), and I can choose the drive so I guess that the disk must be blessed, but when I reboot, the Mac restarts on its built-in hard drive.

    I tried to restart while pressing the option key, but this time the installation of Yosemite drive not even will appear.

    Does anyone have an idea of what might happen and how do I fix?

    Thank you!

    You will have to redo the external hard drive, because the operating system on it is not recognised as bootable. How did you create the disk external bootable?

  • Upgrade to El Capitan in Yosemite

    I have a fairly new MacBook Pro running Yosemite. I was going to upgrade to El Capitan, but now he me Sierra offers instead. I don't want to do because of the risk that £500 dollars worth of software (File Maker Pro 11, final draft 8, Office 2011) will stop working.

    My office is running El Cap, and applications above all work fine.

    In my view, there is the ease of upgrade to El Cap, but he seems to be reserved for people running older versions. Do you think I can upgrade using this path? Or everything will go horribly wrong?

    Thank you

  • How can I delete all but 2015 to 2016 nigh (ios10.0.2) iPhone photos to free up space, after synchronizing all photos on my Mac (Yosemite 10.10.5)?

    How can I remove all but 2015 to 2016 photos from my iPhone (ios10.0.2) for free space, after synchronizing all the photos on my mac (Yosemite 10.10.5) computer?

    The fastest way I can think of would be to go to the Albums, go to all the Photos tab, highlight the photo you want to delete and press 'Select' in the upper right corner. Place your finger on the first complete line, you want to remove (if you have pictures that do not have a complete row that you want to remove these institutions, select them individually first), slide your finger on the line so that they are all selected, and then slide up so that it starts automatically at your old photos of scrolling. Once the photos you want to delete are selected, press the trash in the lower right. This will move them to your album "Recently deleted", then they will be always on your phone for 30 days, unless you remove them. If you are sure that you have already backed up these photos and does not accidentally still photos you want, feel free to remove them.

  • can I use bootcamp to Yosemite

    Hello

    I don't like El Capitan and want to use Yosemite but to go back is not something I want to do while my Mac is under warranty, so could I run Yosemite with the option of bootcamp

    If your computer comes with Yosemite or earlier version, you can restore your system without voiding the warranty, or use disk utility to partition the drive and install Yosemite on the volume of the vacuum. The Boot Camp Assistant is exclusively for Windows.

  • I background clock os10

    I have an iPhone 6s and I've updated yesterday at I OS10 - now, my clock background is dark with light lettering - I need so he can return to bottom clear with black lettering - I know this may seem small, but the darker background white inscription hurt my eyes - which gives me headaches. I don't drive at night for the same reason - is there a way to return to a light background with dark lettering?

    THANKS for any help/tips

    There isn't a way to change this. You can make the suggestion to Apple on http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

    Also for a more immediate solution, there are 3rd party clock apps available in the App Store.
